Chapter 718: Chapter 718: Coming to the Door

That night, Zhuang Rouhui had a hard time falling asleep.

In her dream, she found herself standing in the middle of a lake. The sky was very dark, and the water below her was bone-chillingly cold.

It was rare for a dream to carry such realistic sensations. Zhuang Rouhui looked around, but she couldn’t see anyone.

"What kind of godforsaken place is this?"

Furrowing her brow, Zhuang Rouhui walked forward, the water spreading from below her waist, rippling with her movements.

Gurgle—

Though the lake surface appeared calm, moving was exceptionally difficult, each step seeming to sink her body deeper into a swamp.

Horror struck at the bottom of Zhuang Rouhui’s heart, compelling her to quicken her steps involuntarily.

But the faster she tried to move, the slower she became. Zhuang Rouhui nearly slipped; as she staggered, the water rose over her neck, and a strong, pungent smell of blood assaulted her.

Zhuang Rouhui was instantly terrified. Just then, the moon finally peeked out from behind the clouds, bringing with it a dim, murky light.

It was a blood moon.

The moon’s reflection turned the lake beneath her into a sea of blood red.

Only then did Zhuang Rouhui realize that she wasn’t in a lake at all but a pool of blood.

The thick liquid almost enveloping her, Zhuang Rouhui screamed.

A hand, stripped down to the bone, suddenly appeared behind her, violently dragging her below the surface.

With her mouth and nose submerged in blood, Zhuang Rouhui saw countless skeletons and severed limbs beneath the lake.

A pair of bloated eyeballs swam past her, locking eyes with her in a hauntingly human manner.

The pitch-black pupils dilated and came at her face. Zhuang Rouhui wanted to scream again, but the foul-smelling blood forced its way in, blocking her last breath.

"Ah!"

Waking from her dream, Zhuang Rouhui was covered in sweat, her voice echoing through the villa, while a sinister moon shone through the window onto the floor.

"It’s just a dream, only a dream..."

Zhuang Rouhui clutched her chest, which pounded like a drum, gasping for air.

Why would she have such a terrifying nightmare?

Everything in the dream felt too real, leaving Zhuang Rouhui unnervingly shaken.

But fortunately, it was just a dream.

"Is it?"

The sudden voice ringing in her ear made Zhuang Rouhui shudder. She turned her head sharply and saw a gigantic insect facing her.

Interlaced sharp teeth loomed in its mouth, lunging fiercely at Zhuang Rouhui.

Zhuang Rouhui tried to roll off the bed, scrambling away, but the bed, like a chilling embrace, trapped her.

She plummeted once more into a sea of blood.

After a hoarse scream, Zhuang Rouhui woke up again, finding herself in the same familiar scene.

The bedroom’s big bed, the cold moonlight, the wooden floor.

However, this time she couldn’t tell whether it was a dream or reality, trembling as she hugged her blanket.

She waited until daybreak, Zhuang Rouhui finally breathed a sigh of relief, rolling out of bed unkempt.

How could there be such terrifying dreams in the world!

But it was just the beginning. In the following days, Zhuang Rouhui experienced nightmares again and again.

Sometimes it was a cataclysmic flood, other times a raging volcano.

But no matter the dream, it resembled a living hell, forcing Zhuang Rouhui to drink countless cups of coffee during the day and dread falling asleep.

Extreme fatigue and fear made Zhuang Rouhui age several years in just a few days, with deep, dark circles under her eyes, looking like a walking corpse.

Zhuang Rouhui cursed silently; why did bad things always happen whenever she encountered Yue Qingqing?

Was the other person truly her nemesis?

Yet Zhuang Rouhui was tough. Even in such a state, she refused to give up.

If she couldn’t go to school, she would start with Yue Qingqing’s family.

No matter what, she must win Yue Qingqing back.

That day, as Yue Jiandong and Zhang Ying were about to leave the house, they saw Zhuang Rouhui downstairs.
