"You pass by here every day, have you ever noticed how many steps there are?"

A boy's voice sounded beside Han Xuanxuan as she stepped onto the familiar steps. " 　Hmm

?"

Xuanxuan looked up at the tall boy who had appeared out of nowhere. He was very handsome, and for
a moment, Han Xuanxuan was mesmerized. Then, instinctively, she turned her head to the other side to confirm
whether was talking to someone else.

If it were any other girl, she might have instinctively thought it was just a boy trying to flirt with a girl
in a strange way , but Han Xuanxuan knew that even street thugs
wouldn't bother to whistle at a girl with her looks, let alone this guy who was outstanding no matter how you looked at him.

"Don't look anywhere else, I'm talking to you."

The handsome guy's voice was also very pleasant, as if it had a magnetic quality.

"Do we...know each other?"

Xuanxuan asked hesitantly, a little dazed.

"That...isn't important."

The boy smiled, a smile as warm as the sun, and as fragrant as the scent of flowers, making it easy to immerse oneself in it.

Han Xuanxuan had never seen such a smile before, and without even a second of struggle, she was completely captivated.
She didn't even notice when the boy's hand touched her hair…

"Xuanxuan, Xuanxuan, Xuanxuan!"

"Huh?"

When she opened her eyes again, the handsome boy was nowhere to be seen. Xuanxuan saw her roommate, Yu Xiaomi,
waving .

"What's wrong with you? Are you possessed? How could you fall asleep standing up in broad daylight?"

"Huh? I… fell asleep?"

Xuanxuan's mind was still a little hazy. She looked around again before remembering what had just happened.

"Yeah! You were blowing bubbles with your nose!"

"Really?"

She hurriedly wiped her nose, only to realize that Xiaomi was just joking. Xuanxuan angrily punched her
hard .

"Waaah, you hit so hard, you tomboy! You have to treat me to lunch!"

"You… you're extorting me again!"

Shaking her head helplessly, Xuanxuan didn't refuse. The two girls walked hand in hand towards the cafeteria.

However, Han Xuanxuan didn't hear much of Xiaomi's chatter along the way. Her mind was filled with
the words the boy had said before she fell asleep: "Do you know Wicker Stairs?"

She had no classes that afternoon, and after lunch, she returned to her dorm, still thinking about that sentence.

Wicker Stairs—the words sounded vaguely familiar, but she couldn't place them. Fortunately,
the internet was readily available. After racking her brains without success, Xuanxuan jumped out of bed and turned on her computer.

She typed "Wicker Stairs" into a search engine, and soon a bunch of results appeared.

"Oh, it's a movie..."

"What movie?"

Xuanxuan muttered, overheard by Yu Xiaomi, who was idly clipping her nails. Yu Xiaomi immediately came over, excited
.

"Whispering Corridors? Xuanxuan, when did you become interested in horror movies?"

Yu Xiaomi knew Han Xuanxuan's timidity; she usually trembled at the mere mention of a ghost, so it was truly puzzling that she would actively
search for a movie with such a creepy title.

"Nothing much... just... just searching randomly..."

Xuanxuan replied absentmindedly, her eyes glued to the lines of description.

An ordinary girls' high school had a strange story: on the way from the school to the dormitory, there was
a fox staircase. This staircase originally had only 28 steps, but if you counted carefully, it would become
29. That's the fox staircase; if you made a wish there, the fox spirit would
grant it .

"A fox spirit? Making a wish in such a bizarre way? It seems more like a fox demon."

Influenced by Xuanxuan, Yu Xiaomi also looked at the description seriously, then couldn't help but complain.

"Hehe, who cares if it's a fox spirit or a fox demon, as long as my wish comes true, that's good enough."

Xuanxuan murmured, smiling at the bewildered Yu Xiaomi.

Unlike Han Xuanxuan, who was so ordinary she'd blend into a crowd and disappear, Yu Xiaomi, while
not exceptionally beautiful, was undeniably stunning with a little effort in dressing up. She possessed a
baby face, bright eyes, a small, upturned nose, and a petite yet shapely figure—the kind of cute girl that boys found appealing
.

Even more remarkable was Yu Xiaomi's wonderful personality; she lacked the airs often associated with beautiful women, always
smiling and getting along with everyone, both boys and girls. She was Han Xuanxuan's closest best friend
and one of the girls she admired most.

"Xiaomi, do you remember how many steps there are on that staircase we walk up every day?"

"Huh? Really? It's just a movie, you're taking it seriously?"

Xiaomi exclaimed dramatically. No matter how close their friendship, due to her own circumstances,
Xiaomi couldn't truly empathize with Xuanxuan's life.

From childhood, Xuanxuan's only label was "ordinary." Ordinary family, ordinary looks, ordinary grades, ordinary
talent , attending an ordinary university, doing ordinary odd jobs, living an ordinary life. She's rarely thought of,
rarely mentioned, rarely remembered.

Some describe ordinary people as being like air, transparent and unnoticed. But Xuanxuan felt that
those who said that didn't understand her feelings at all. Air may be invisible, but it's still important,
while she… even if she disappeared, few would care. She… was simply not needed.

How can an ordinary person live an extraordinary life?

"Xiao Mi, I'm going for a walk."

"Hey! You're not really going to count the steps, are you? Are you crazy?!"

Ignoring Xiao Mi's shouts behind her, Xuanxuan rushed out of the dormitory and almost ran to the bottom of the
steps .

"One, two, three, four…"

Standing in front of the steps, silently counting, Xuanxuan's heart pounded. Did that boy really appear?

Or was it just a daydream?

"Five, six, seven, eight..."

If the rumors about the Fox Stairs are true, will she be able to see the extra step?

"Nine, ten, eleven, twelve..."

If she can see it, what kind of wish will she make?

"Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen..."

In any case, it's about that person...

"Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twentieth, twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-

six, twenty-seven... twenty-eight! "

It really is twenty-eight steps!

These steps are the same as in the movie!"

Xuanxuan unconsciously covered her chest with her hands. Is it a coincidence? Or... has she really received divine
favor?

Is this life, like being invisible... coming to an end?

Just... try and you'll know...

Her right foot, wearing sneakers, slowly stepped onto the first step...

"One, two, three, four..."

At noon, before that boy's voice rang out as she passed these steps, Xuanxuan was thinking about other things.

"Five, six, seven, eight..."

That was what had just happened that morning. On her way to class, Xuanxuan met a fellow villager at the classroom door.

"Nine, ten, eleven, twelve..."

The brief conversation consisted of rather mundane topics. But for Xuanxuan, who usually had
few , she didn't want any interaction to end easily.

"Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen..."

The conversation was interrupted by a voice. Perhaps engrossed in the conversation, Xuanxuan didn't remember when she
had leaned against the classroom doorframe, blocking the way. So when Li Haoran suddenly said, "Excuse me, classmate, please move
aside," she was startled. Then, an overwhelming pang of sadness washed over her.

"Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty..."

Li Haoran was the boy Xuanxuan had always secretly liked. He didn't know
how much effort he, with his average grades, had put in during his senior year of high school to finally get into the same university as him, even though that university was just average in other people's eyes; he didn't know how many years he had silently watched him, how familiar he was
with his every move and every expression; he didn't even know that on the day of the alumni reunion, when he was drunk and being helped home, a girl had secretly followed him all the way to his dormitory, even though that girl from his department hadn't said a word to him. 　　"Twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four..." 　　But, after liking him for so long... in the end, he only called her those two words—classmate. 　　Was it really that hard to remember her own name? 　　"Twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight..." 　　Xuanxuan looked at her feet and smiled. There was one step left in front of her toes. 　　Never... never again would she hear him call her that... 　　"Twenty-nine!" 　　A firm step landed heavily on the extra step, and a boy's figure appeared before her ...
