[Late-night topic: Have you ever felt that the people around you aren't really the people you know anymore?]
[Please share your story.]
Zhou Yu sat bolt upright in bed when she came across the post.
She looked at the strip of light coming from the living room beneath her bedroom door.
She swallowed softly.
Then she opened the post.
[...Submitting a story. Lately, I've felt like my parents are acting kind of strange...]
She had just finished typing that when her fingers suddenly stopped.
She saw a shadow appear in the light beneath her door.
The next second, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from outside. It was her mother's.
"Xiaoyu, you're still awake..."
The sound startled her, making her hand tremble and sending the unfinished message.
The door was closed. She hadn't made a sound. How did her mother know she was still awake?
Zhou Yu's heart pounded, but she pressed her lips together and didn't dare answer.
Just then, her phone screen trembled slightly. Someone had replied to her post.
[Hello. Could I get your contact information?]
[Hello, are you still there?]
[Hello, if you see this, please believe what I'm about to say.]
[Don't trust them! Don't let them realize you suspect anything!]
[Get out! Get out now!]
The next second, the door, which had been locked from the inside, clicked open.
Her mother and father stood at the doorway, their heads tilted as they looked at her.
"Xiaoyu, you're still awake..."
