My leg felt like it was touching a popsicle. It wasn't the temperature of a human body.
Almost instantly, I had goosebumps all over my body, and my mind went blank.
After a few minutes, I finally understood what the red shadow was doing. I found it hard to believe, but the fear in my heart had subsided.
The next few nights, the red shadow gave me a massage. To be honest, her hands were too cold, and she didn't have much strength. I didn't feel comfortable when she massaged my legs, but I could barely stop the pain.
Magically, after a few days of massaging, my wounds were healed before the high school entrance exam.
After that, I had a good impression of the red shadow. I vaguely considered her a friend who came to play with me every night.
After the high school entrance exam, I was admitted to a high school in the county. The night before school started, the red shadow came with something in her hand. She gave it to me.
It was the first time she had taken the initiative to talk to me. I received it and saw that it was a small jade bracelet. It looked like a ring that you wore on your finger.
It was cold to the touch, just like the red shadow's hand.
I didn't know why the red shadow had given me such a thing. Instinctively, I opened my mouth to ask her. However, the red shadow didn't seem to be able to talk. After giving me the bracelet, she continued to sit there in a daze.
My high school was in the county, and I was a boarding student. After that, it would be hard for me to go home. I didn't know if the red shadow would come to see me at night.
I wanted to ask the red shadow, but she couldn't talk. I wasn't sure if she could understand me or not.
In the end, I didn't ask her. However, I couldn't sleep well that night.
When I woke up, it was early in the morning. When I opened my eyes, the red shadow was still by my bed.
According to the usual pattern, the red shadow should have left already. What's going on today?
Before I could figure it out, the red shadow suddenly stood up. Her body moved, and she disappeared.
While I was puzzled, the red shadow flashed. She reappeared at the same spot.
I turned around and looked at the jade bracelet on the bedside table. I vaguely understood that the red shadow was' living 'in that jade bracelet.
At this moment, the sky was bright. The red shadow disappeared for the second time. This time, she didn't come back.
I picked up the jade bracelet. It felt even colder than the last time I touched it.
At dawn, I asked my mother to find a red rope to tie the jade bracelet to my neck.
It was amazing. In the summer, it was as hot as an oven, but after Red Shadow put the jade ring around his neck, I felt as if I had stayed in an air-conditioned room. The temperature around me dropped a lot.
My dad rode a tricycle to send me to high school. On the way, we met a little fatty who was carrying his luggage alone. He was admitted to the same high school as me, so I called him to get on the tricycle and went to school together.
We were assigned to the same class, so we naturally went to the same dormitory. After my dad helped us make the bed, he left me some money and left.
As soon as the adults left, the people in the dormitory gathered together to chat. A skinny little guy mysteriously told us that our dormitory used to be a girls' dormitory, but it was changed to a boys' dormitory this year.
As soon as we talked about girls, the people in the dormitory became interested. They surrounded the little guy and asked him about it for a long time. Finally, I understood. In the past few years, the ratio of boys and girls was out of balance. There were more and more boys in the school, and fewer and fewer girls. Gradually, some of the girls' dormitory was changed to a boys' dormitory.
Originally it was just a small matter, but boys of our age were in the puberty phase where they yearned for girls the most. A group of people discussed excitedly. The wretched fatty and the skinny little Guo Mingming even started to search for traces of the senior sisters' lives. In the end, they found some clues on the wall next to my bed.
There was a small flower carved there. The little fatty and Guo Mingming guessed that this bed used to have a great beauty.
This was originally Guo Mingming's bed. The little fatty wanted to switch with him, but Guo Mingming was grinning from ear to ear. He didn't want to switch with the little fatty. The two of them argued for a while before giving up.
That night, after everyone in the dormitory had fallen asleep, I took out the jade bracelet on my chest. I was a little puzzled. I didn't know why the red shadow hadn't come out yet. Eventually, I got impatient and shook the jade bracelet. I whispered, "Red shadow, come out quickly."
As soon as I said that, the red shadow appeared in front of me. Just like before, it sat motionlessly on my bed, staring blankly.
It was just as I had guessed. The red shadow was' living 'inside the jade bracelet.
I carefully put the jade bracelet back on my chest. Looking at the red shadow sitting on the edge of my bed, I was so happy that I fell asleep shortly after.
The next morning, while I was sleeping, I was woken up by a scream. My first thought was that someone had seen the red shadow. I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat. I sat up and looked around.
However, I didn't see the red shadow. Then, someone asked me, "What happened to Guo Mingming?"
After asking for a long time, he didn't reply. The people in the dormitory became anxious. They turned on the light and climbed up to see.
When we got up, we were all dumbfounded. Guo Mingming was sitting on the bed. His shiny head was shining under the light.
The little fatty was the first to laugh. As he laughed, he said, "Guo Mingming, when did you become bald? Last night, you …"
Then, the chubby guy stopped laughing. He just stared at me and kept quiet.
Someone next to him asked, "Yeah, weren't you bald last night? Did you sneak out and shave your head?
That's impossible. The dormitory building is locked after we go to bed. No one can get out. "
Guo Mingming pulled a long face. "I didn't go out. When I woke up, I found out that I was bald."
While talking, he grabbed a bunch of hair from his pillow and said, "Look, my hair is still on the bed …"
We turned to look at his pillow at the same time. Sure enough, a big clump of black hair was neatly placed next to his pillow. It was the same as Guo Mingming's original hairstyle. It was impossible for him to have shaved his hair. It looked more like a mask.
It looked normal, but I didn't know why it made my heart turn cold. It was the same feeling I had when the red shadow's hand touched me for the first time.
The roommates who had been chattering away also stopped talking, and no one laughed anymore.
After a while, the little fatty said with a strange expression, "Guo Mingming, are you bald to begin with? Did you take off your mask to scare us?"
Guo Mingming didn't answer him. He just sat there in a daze.
The chubby guy didn't say anything. It was obvious that Guo Mingming wasn't messing with us.
After the preparation bell rang, Guo Mingming braced himself and went to class with us.
When the homeroom teacher saw his bald head, he directly pulled him out and slapped him. Then, he asked him what happened.
The homeroom teacher didn't believe him no matter how he explained. In the end, the two of them went to the dormitory together. After seeing Guo Mingming's neatly arranged hair, the homeroom teacher calmed down. He stood on the spot for a long time. In the end, he told us to stay in the dormitory while he reported this to the principal.
In the end, the school notified Guo Mingming's parents and asked them to take their child to the hospital. The homeroom teacher even asked our roommates not to spread this news.
It was really strange, but to be honest, I wasn't really scared. After all, the incident with the red shadow had happened before. If there was something supernatural, I could accept it.
However, after school in the afternoon, the chubby guy came to find me. He told me to ask for a leave from the homeroom teacher. He said that he had already asked for a leave and that I should go home with him.
I was puzzled. I didn't know what was wrong with him. However, the chubby guy looked serious and didn't look like he was joking. My heart skipped a beat. I remembered what happened in the morning and asked him, "Fatty, do you know what happened to Guo Mingming?"
