That wasn't what they had experienced, but it was more or less the same.

"There's a security camera inside," Su Min reminded them.

Lin Xiao Yan's eyes lit up. "Yes, let's investigate further."

The three headed to the monitor room together.

"No, I've been here all day, and everything is completely normal. The elevator can't go go up to the seventh floor, don't talk nonsense," the supervisor said.

Despite his words, he still pulled up the footage from around that time.

The recording began with Su Min's entrance to the office building. Lin Xiao Yan and Lin Yiri had just entered the elevator, and the doors were closing.

As the elevator went up, the numbers climbed alongside it.

In another screen, Lin Xiao Yan and Lin Yiri appeared to be chatting. It was unknown what happened, but their expressions suddenly became strange.

The elevator's number reached '3'; they were now on the third floor.

The doors opened and the two people inside promptly leaped out. However, not long afterwards, they ran back in as if chased by something. Lin Yiri incessantly pressed on the buttons, and when the doors finally closed, they both collapsed on the ground.

The supervisor frowned and said righteously, "You are all college students. You should know that jumping on the elevator is not allowed, and pressing on the buttons like that is prohibited. It's very easy for an accident to happen."

The colors drained from Lin Xiao Yan and Lin Yiri's faces.

They were clearly on the seventh floor, but what was displayed on screen is the number '3'.

Su Min glanced at the two and said, "Sorry for the inconvenience. They woke up early in the morning and aren't fully awake. We're leaving. This will not happen again in the future."

He pulled them out of the room.

Outside, the weather was sunny and cloudless, showing the beauty of daytime. But, apart from Su Min, the two people's hearts were frosted with the chill of winter.

"The seventh floor was terrifying."

"I'm never riding on the elevator again."

They only had classes in the morning, so they were free for the rest of the day. Seeing that none of them had eaten yet, Su Min directly took the two to the canteen.

Both were still in a daze.

When it was their turn to order, they nodded to this and that, buying more than a handful of food. Even Lin Xiao Yan's plate was twice as big as Su Min's.

Su Min was astonished.

Seeing him look at her meal, Lin Xiao Yan flushed with embarrassment. "I just eat more, that's all."

Su Min retracted his gaze. "It's not much."

To become indignant of appetite, he knew and understood. After all, it was he who ate less than other people.

Compared to his two frightened classmates, Su Min was like a spring breeze, cool and serene. He was so calm that he was even picking the Sichuan pepper off his Kung Pao Chicken.

Lin Xiao Yan peeked at him from the corner of her eyes.

By the time they finished their lunch, the two had mostly settled down.

Su Min handed them napkins. "Okay, now let's talk about what went wrong back in the dorms."

Lin Xiao Yan shook her head. "No... I don't want to talk about it."
