Sun Li suddenly started screaming and bolted.
The other girls, including Lin Xiyue, turned pale with shock, flailing their arms and screaming chaotically. Seeing Sun Li run, they all followed suit, forgetting all about their props.
Just then, a figure darted out from the bushes. It flickered like a ghost in the night, appearing before the girls in the blink of an eye and blocking their path.
Sun Li, who was at the very front, was so scared by the figure that she practically jumped out of her skin. Wailing, she spun around to run back, only to collide with Lin Xiyue. Immediately after, Su Shanyue and Xu Qianqing crashed into them from behind. The girls tumbled to the ground in a messy heap, flailing and pulling at each other, unable to get back up.
Amidst the chaos, Xu Qianqing's dress was somehow pulled down below her shoulders, revealing her underwear. On the lace trim, a faint reddish hue was vaguely visible, like watered-down red ink spreading across white paper...
"Sigh."
