"Eh? A USB drive? Youmeng? Youmeng!"
"Sister Qiu! Has Youmeng reappeared?"
Yiyi turned her head to look at Xu Qingqiu, who was staring into space. Following Xu Qingqiu's gaze to the USB drive on the table, Yiyi finally realized what was happening.
Yes, Youmeng had appeared again.
Xu Qingqiu felt a mixture of emotions, unsure what to feel.
Excited? she wondered. Definitely. It's been so long since Youmeng last appeared. But happy? That's complicated. Every time Youmeng appears, I feel like someone is secretly helping me, always when I need it most. This feeling is terrible! Extremely unsettling!
She desperately wanted to know who this person was.
A relative? A friend? Why help me? Is there a motive? What kind of motive?
This uncertainty robbed her of any sense of security. It was as if someone was constantly watching her from the darkness, yet she knew nothing about them. Even though they had been helping her, she couldn't shake off a sense of dread.
