"Longing dyes, Lotus Sound Jade, tri-lifetime golden scales entwine. The Living Buddha's face, holy maiden's blood, silver water bodhi seal the king's door……"
At midnight, a beckoning tune timely rang out. I stared at the silvery door before me and finally couldn't help but push it open—
Just in a split second, a ghostly chill wind brushed past from behind the door, a cold hand stretched out directly, pulling me inside!
I was taken aback, as if about to awaken from this muddled trance, but almost immediately, a warm soft body embraced me.
Behind the door was pitch black. I couldn't tell who was holding me, but that hand traced along my cheek, sliding over my collarbone……
I wanted to scream, yet couldn't make a sound, even my body seemed stiffened, out of control!
Rough panting sounded in my ear—
I was filled with terror, but powerless to refuse.
In the darkness, I seemed to hear a voice, domineering and cold: "You are mine."
As the voice fell, an agonizing pang instantly hit—
"Ah!"
I screamed out loud, suddenly sitting up!
So it was a dream…
Gasping heavily, I looked at the familiar in my dorm room, a sense of relief washed over me after a narrow escape.
Lifting the blanket, I got up intending to pour myself a glass of water. However, the moment I moved, a prickling pain surged from below.
I was alarmed, struggling to turn on the light, only to see, on the bedsheet, a patch of plum-shaped crimson - unbearably vivid!
In the brief moment of stupefaction, I began to tremble. Fear encompassed my entire being, as if it pulled me back into the dream.
The dream was so ethereal, yet so real.
Suddenly, I realized what had happened. I curled up, buried my head, and shivered uncontrollably.
My name is Lu Xiaoyu, the only daughter of the Lu family.
Many years ago, my great-grandfather repeatedly told me not to open the door within my dreams and gave me a blood-red jade pendant to wear around my neck on his deathbed.
As long as I carry the pendant, even if I dream of the silver wooden door, I won't hear a sound, nor would I feel an urge to push it open. My great-grandfather emphasized that this Blood Jade is my protective charm; under no circumstances should I ever remove it, or something terrible would happen.
But never would I expect on my eighteenth birthday, I forgot my great-grandfather's advice and still opened that door…
I don't know how long it was before I regained my senses.
I’m a medical student - how could I not know about the affairs between men and women?
The crimson on the bed sheets, the tearing pain from beneath me, all clearly told me something.
I've been violated - in a dream!
This...how is this possible!
I wanted to calm myself, but everything that had happened was real. How should I explain this?
But if I were really assaulted, wouldn't the assaulter be—
A ghost?!
A chill surged down my spine. I quickly get up, yanking the bedsheets down and crumpling them into a bundle to stuff into the washbasin under the bed. Afterwards, I began rummaging through my belongings for the blood-red jade pendant that my grandfather left me.
Fortunately, it's the summer vacation now. All the other students who shared the same dormitory with me went home for the holidays. Only I had to stay in school to work-study, so no one found out about my abnormality.
However, after searching for quite a while, I couldn't find my blood jade.
Slapping my forehead, I recalled that last night my friends had thrown me a birthday party, I had lots of drinks, and pretty much lost any memory of it.
As far as I could remember, I seemed to have given my blood jade to my best friend, Jiang Haiyan.
Thinking of this, I quickly found my phone and dialed Jiang Haiyan.
It took a while for the call to connect, and Jiang Haiyan, groggier than me, answered, "Hello......"
"Haiyan, it's me, Xiaoyu. Where did you put my jade pendant?" I lowered my voice, trying to sound as normal as possible.
"Xiaoyu... don't you realize what time it is now? That precious pendant of yours is with Li Hai. Go find him."
I was taken aback. Li Hai is a student in the class next to ours, his family is wealthy, and among us, he's definitely the big shot. Three months ago, he suddenly declared he would pursue me. Yet, not interested in this domineering young master, I had always ignored him.
Hearing Jiang Haiyan's words, I grew anxious. I had only taken off the blood jade for one night, and this had happened. If I couldn't find the jade again, who knew what else might happen.
"Haiyan, my sweet Yan, quickly tell me where Li Hai is. I need to find my jade pendant. You know, it's the only thing my grandfather left me!"
"After we split up, wasn't it Li Hai who sent you back to the dormitory— could it be that Li Hai took advantage of you being drunk and... did that to you!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Jiang Haiyan's words made me more anxious - how could Li Hai be the one who sent me back? Could this "me" be Li Hai himself?
But on second thought, I denied this idea.
Firstly, after I woke up, I didn't see Li Hai; secondly, this is a girls' dormitory, he, as a man, couldn't possibly get in.
After hanging up the phone, I was just thinking about how to get my blood jade from Li Hai, when I heard a whistle from outside the dormitory door.
I recognized it, it was Li Hai.
"Xiao Yu, are you awake now?"
The dormitory door was pushed open. Li Hai, shirtless and rubbing his wet hair, walked in and smirked at me when he saw I was awake.
He even dared to enter the girls' dormitory, and had even taken a shower here!
I didn't consider much, and as soon as I saw him, I asked: "Li Hai, where is my jade pendant?"
"What jade pendant? Xiao Yu, why are you talking about this right now..."
Li Hai chuckled, casually threw his towel aside, and reached out to me.
"What are you trying to do!"
I was immediately nervous and yelled.
"What else could it be? It's not easy for you to finally agree to be my girlfriend, we obviously should do what boyfriends and girlfriends do!"
Li Hai yelled, lunging at me.
I didn't expect him to be so bold. I didn't dodge in time and was caught in his arms.
I wanted to resist, but after what had just happened in my dream, I didn't have enough strength to fend off Li Hai.
I repeatedly twisted my body, screaming like a madwoman, "Li Hai, this is rape!"
Li Hai's face suddenly turned grim, raising his hand to slap me across the face!
"Lu Xiaoyu, you better ask around, when has a girl I, Li Hai, wanted ever slipped through my fingers? I advise you to know your place, or even if I do force you, what can you do to me?"
As Li Hai said these words, his face was twisted with malevolence.
I looked at him, my heart sinking into despair bit by bit...
