The Tianjin Student's Ghostly Classmate

The night was as dark as the dormitory's walls, the only light coming from the flickering street lamp outside. Li Wei, a young student at Tianjin University, was curled up in her bed, her eyes wide with fear. She had heard the stories about the haunted dormitory, but she had always dismissed them as mere legends. Until now.

The dormitory was old, with creaky floorboards and peeling wallpaper. It was said that the previous tenant, a student named Xiao Mei, had mysteriously disappeared years ago. Some whispered that she had been seen wandering the halls, her eyes hollow and her laughter echoing eerily through the night.

Li Wei had been living there for a month, but the haunting had only begun last week. She had felt a chill down her spine every time she walked past Xiao Mei's old room, the door slightly ajar, as if inviting her in. But she had always ignored the feeling, attributing it to her overactive imagination.

That night, however, the chill was different. It was as if someone was watching her. Li Wei turned her head, expecting to see a shadowy figure lurking in the corner. But there was nothing. She had convinced herself that the sensation was all in her mind.

As she drifted off to sleep, she heard a whisper. "Li Wei, you're next."

Her heart raced. She sat up in bed, her eyes darting around the room. The whisper was gone, but the fear lingered. She tried to shake it off, but the whisper returned, louder and clearer. "You can't escape me, Li Wei."

Li Wei's mind raced. She had never felt so scared in her life. She had to find out who was behind the whispers. She had to confront whatever was haunting her.

The next morning, Li Wei approached her friend, Zhang Li, who had lived in the dormitory before her. Zhang Li was a tall, imposing figure with a stern expression, but she was kind and caring when she needed to be.

"Zhang Li, have you ever heard anything strange in this dormitory?" Li Wei asked, her voice trembling.

Zhang Li nodded slowly. "Yes, I have. I heard whispers too. It was Xiao Mei. She's still here, waiting for someone to notice her."

Li Wei's heart sank. "Do you think she's... haunting us?"

Zhang Li sighed. "I don't know. But we need to find out. Maybe she's stuck here, and we can help her find peace."

That night, Li Wei and Zhang Li decided to investigate. They went to Xiao Mei's room, the door creaking open as they stepped inside. The room was cluttered, with old textbooks and papers scattered everywhere. The bed was unmade, as if someone had been sleeping there recently.

Li Wei's eyes widened as she noticed a small, worn-out journal on the desk. She picked it up and began to read. The journal was filled with entries, each one more disturbing than the last. Xiao Mei had been writing about her struggles, her fears, and her loneliness.

As Li Wei read, she realized that Xiao Mei had been trying to reach out for help. She had been trying to tell someone that she was in danger. But no one had listened.

Suddenly, the room grew cold. Li Wei looked up to see a shadowy figure standing in the doorway. It was Xiao Mei, her eyes hollow and her face pale. "Li Wei," she whispered, "help me."

Li Wei's heart raced. She knew that she had to help Xiao Mei. She had to find out what had happened to her and why she was still here.

The next day, Li Wei and Zhang Li began to piece together Xiao Mei's story. They learned that Xiao Mei had been involved in a secret society on campus, a society that had been banned by the university. She had been threatened, and she had been forced to disappear.

Li Wei and Zhang Li decided to confront the leader of the secret society. They had to bring Xiao Mei's story to light and make sure that justice was served.

As they approached the leader's room, they were met with a group of armed guards. The leader stood in the center, his eyes cold and calculating. "You can't stop me," he said. "I have power, and I will use it."

Li Wei stepped forward. "We're not here to stop you. We're here to bring Xiao Mei's story to light. She deserves justice."

The leader laughed. "Justice? You think I care about justice? I care about power."

Li Wei's eyes narrowed. "Then you'll have to face the consequences of your actions."

The leader raised his hand, and the guards moved in. Li Wei and Zhang Li fought back, using everything they had learned in their martial arts classes. The battle was fierce, but Li Wei and Zhang Li were determined to win.

Finally, the leader was subdued, and the guards were taken into custody. Li Wei and Zhang Li had succeeded in bringing Xiao Mei's story to light. They had brought justice to her memory.

The next day, Li Wei stood in front of Xiao Mei's grave, the sun shining down on her. "Rest in peace, Xiao Mei," she whispered. "We have made sure that you are remembered."

As she turned to leave, she felt a chill down her spine. She looked around, but there was no one there. She had faced the ghostly apparition of Xiao Mei and had won. But she knew that the haunting had only just begun.

The Tianjin Student's Ghostly Classmate had shown Li Wei that sometimes, the line between life and death is blurred. She had learned that sometimes, the dead need our help to find peace. And she had learned that sometimes, the most terrifying things are the ones that we fear the most.

The story of Li Wei and Xiao Mei had spread like wildfire across the university. It had become a legend, a tale of courage and determination. And it had shown that sometimes, the most haunting things are the ones that we carry within us, the ones that we must confront to find peace.
