gmood. 

Outside the window was the dark balcony connected to the next room. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Hera was about to move to the window when a dark figure suddenly flashed across the balcony. 

With a snap, the lights in her room were switched off 

Hera was speechless. 

dino squatted under the window with a camera, waiting to record Hera’s miserable cry of fear 

Three minutes later, however, the expected cry didn’t occur. 

Squatting out there in his pajamas late at night, Gino was freezing 

Why was this bumpkin not screaming yet? Her reaction was slow! 

Another ten minutes passed, and the room remained quiet. 

Could that bumplon have fainted from fright? 

Gino couldn’t hold himself back anymore. He pressed the remote control in his hand, switching on the lights in the room. 

He peeked into the room, only to find nobody nor anakes. What was going on? Thinking he was mistaken, he poked his head into the room. 

“Is at fun?” A cold voice suddenly rang out behind Gine. He jolted up in shock, but his head on the window, and fell to the ground in pain. 

He lost his camera. In a pank, his hand accidentally pressed the remote and the lights were switched off again. The surroundings instantly fell into darkness again. 

“Who the hell are you scaring? Ah!” Gino cursed, covering his head. Then, he turned around, only to see a pale face behind him. He screamed in horror, “Ah! A ghost! Stay away from me!” 

“Shut up! It’s noisy.” Hera’s head buzzed from Gino’s scream. 

She turned off the flashlightof her phone and sivitched on the balcony light 

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Gino immediately stopped screaming. Seeing it was Hera, he got up from the ground angrily. 

“Country bumpkin, how dare you scare me!” He stepped forward in a huff, wanting to kick Hera, 

As Gino stepped closer, he saw Hera clenching two snakes in her left hand. The snakes‘ bodies were wrapped around her arm. 

Hera raised her left hand. Gino freaked out, staggered a few steps hack, and slumped on the floor 

“Y–You… Y–You..” Gino’s face turned pale in horror. He stammered for a long time without uttering a word. 

“Did you do this? Hera glanced condescendingly at the trembling Gino, her exquisite face full of indifference. 

Despite his fear, Gino couldn’t tolerate Hera’s questioning. He was the one who was making fun of Hera. Why did it turn out the other way around? 

He couldn’t accept it and stubbornly argued, “It’s your fault for fighting for the room with me! You deserve to be bitten by a poisonous snake! If you plead with me, I can consider forging you Ah! 

Hera didn’t bother to listen to Gino’s childish speech. She threw the snakes straight at him. 

Terrified, Gino spun around in circles. He pushed Hera away, dashed back to his room, and slammed the door shut. 

The two snakes fell to the floor without even touching Gino’s clothes. Hera was dumbfounded as she looked at the puddle of liquid on the flooc 

Meanwhile, Berard was leaning on his bed. 

He had checked his WhatsApp countless times, but Hera hadn’t messaged him back. He had the urge to give her a call and ask her why. But after checking the time, he dropped the 

idea. 

Bernard grabbed his iPad from the bedside and searched on Google about how to initiate a conversation with others. 

At this moment, a message came through WhatsApp with a ding 

Picking up his phone, Bernard saw a new friend request. 

Gigi: “Hi, Fra Guselle. The firamisu cake was delicious. Thank you. Please accept my friend request!” 

Bernard’s finger slid across the screen and tapped on the ignore option. Then, he continued searching on Google on his iPad.
