But... their university acceptance letters are reappearing in the world one by one.
Class 0 of Grade 11 has been revived!
Growing up in solitude, living in solitude, but one day, that solitude was suddenly shattered by fear...
Admission Notice
It wasn't until it was completely dark that Gao Xiaoyuan began packing her schoolbag. Now she was the only one left in the classroom, and it was quiet and silent.
The large characters "Welcome New Students" on the blackboard looked somewhat lonely and helpless under the bright fluorescent lights. Gao Xiaoyuan walked up to the podium, picked up the blackboard eraser, and prepared to wipe those characters clean.
Today is her first day at this high school, and also her first day meeting new classmates. She didn't make any new friends because she was already used to being alone.
She didn't like her home either. Although her father and mother were there, their strictness had created an invisible oppression in Xiaoyuan's heart since she was a child. Moreover, they were often away on business trips, and most of the time, Gao Xiaoyuan had spent her life alone. So, home felt like a hotel to her. Given this, Gao Xiaoyuan preferred to stay at school until dark.
"Bang—" The window near the podium suddenly slammed shut, as if a gust of wind had blown in. Gao Xiaoyuan's hand, holding the blackboard eraser, froze on the blackboard, and she turned her head slightly to look in that direction.
It was pitch black outside the window; nothing could be seen clearly, and it seemed as if there was nothing at all. Gao Xiaoyuan pursed her lips, wiped the last two words clean, dusted herself off, turned around, walked to her desk, picked up her schoolbag, and prepared to leave.
A piece of paper slowly floated down to Gao Xiaoyuan's feet. She paused for a moment, then bent down to pick it up.
It was an admission notice, which, in addition to the school's official seal, also bore Gao Xiaoyuan's name. Strangely, the notice did not list Gao Xiaoyuan's current class, Grade 11, Class 3, but rather "Grade 11, Class 0".
Does the school still have a Class 0 in the first year of high school? Gao Xiaoyuan had never heard of it before, so why was the name on this notice the same as hers? This made Xiaoyuan even more puzzled. Suddenly, the classroom lights flickered.
After a few clicks, before Gao Xiaoyuan could react, the light went out.
"squeak--"
In the darkness, Gao Xiaoyuan heard the classroom door open, followed by light footsteps, and then she saw a blurry white figure standing in the doorway.
"Who...is it?" Gao Xiaoyuan squeezed out two words through gritted teeth, her whole body pressed against the blackboard with tension.
The white figure slowly walked into the classroom, its movements as mechanical as a zombie.
Gao Xiaoyuan's breathing quickened. She was so frightened that she shrank under the podium and peered at the classroom floor through the gap in the podium.
The white figure was still moving, and after passing the podium, it went straight to the desk. It was more like it was moving than walking, because Gao Xiaoyuan couldn't see the white figure's feet at all.
No feet... Could it be a ghost?!
Gao Xiaoyuan closed her eyes, no longer daring to look at the white figure. She only opened her eyes when she heard another creak, and the light came on at that moment.
Gao Xiaoyuan slowly crawled out from under the podium and stared blankly at the classroom.
The classroom was empty. She walked down from the podium, looking around until she reached her desk. She quickly picked up her bag to leave, and just then, a piece of paper fell to the ground.
Gao Xiaoyuan hesitated for a moment, but in the end she bent down and picked up the paper to examine it carefully.
It was also an admission notice, with Peng Zhi's name and the school's seal on it, but the class was not the one Gao Xiaoyuan was in now, but "Grade 10 Class 0".
Who put this admission notice on my backpack? And where is Class 0 of Grade 11? Could it be that...ghost from earlier?
A girl playing the cello
How come this school has a Grade 10 Class 0?
The next day, Gao Xiaoyuan sat in the classroom staring blankly at the admission notice in her hand, completely unaware that her homeroom teacher, Ms. Xia, had already walked up to her.
"What are you doing, peeking at the classroom!" Teacher Xia's stern voice immediately startled Gao Xiaoyuan awake. She jerked her head up and frantically shoved her admission notice into her desk, only to have it snatched away by Teacher Xia. "What is this?" Teacher Xia asked, unfolding the admission notice as she spoke. But then her face turned deathly pale, her eyes filled with panic. Trembling, she held up the admission notice and demanded of Gao Xiaoyuan, "How did you get this? Did you make it yourself?"
"No, I discovered it by accident..." Before Gao Xiaoyuan could finish speaking, Teacher Xia suddenly called out, "Peng Zhi..." and then turned and ran quickly out of the classroom.
Gao Xiaoyuan stared blankly at the classroom door.
What's wrong with Teacher Xia? Why is she reacting like that? Could it be...?
Just then, the classroom erupted in chaos. Everyone seemed curious about Ms. Xia's reaction, and speculation and rumors abounded. Noise and chatter filled the air. Only Gao Xiaoyuan understood that Ms. Xia must be concerned about Class 0 of Grade 11. Did Ms. Xia know something about Class 0 of Grade 11?
Gao Xiaoyuan didn't know why she waited until dark. Perhaps it was because of loneliness, or perhaps it was because she wanted to see that white figure. But the thought of
