The only difference was that there was a ring on the ring finger of my left hand. It's all my fault, why would I wear a ring when I'm fine? He couldn't take it off!
Just as I was hoping to get the ring, I heard a faint cry.
It was a woman's cry, as if with great sorrow. The sound grew louder and louder until I was sure it was there.
This... Why would anyone cry when everything was fine?
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew past. The window of the room was opened by the wind, and a cool breeze blew into the room.
A strange and scary feeling crept up my heart and infiltrated my consciousness. Slowly, cold sweat formed on his palms. The crying did not stop. On the contrary, it became more and more intense and miserable.
I stayed under the covers, afraid to make a sound, afraid to see anything unclean. I thought I'd just put up with it and wait until morning. Because I really didn't have the guts to see what was going on. I didn't even have the courage to reach out and turn on the bedside lamp...
"Ying, ying, ying …"
The sound never stopped, as if it was repeating itself in my ear, making me flustered.
Finally I couldn't help but ask, "Who's crying?"
When I asked, the crying stopped for a moment, but soon resumed. No one answered me.
After a long struggle, I pulled my head out of the blanket and carefully observed my surroundings …
Slowly, I rolled my eyes, using the dim light of the street lamp to look at every corner of the room.
There was nothing unusual about the bedside table, the table, the wardrobe. I began to try to figure out where it came from, and if I wasn't mistaken, it was coming from the roof. So I looked up at the roof I hadn't been looking at.
When I saw what was happening on the roof, my jaw dropped. His heart began to pound, and he could clearly hear his own heartbeat.
How could that be? No, I have to get out.
I didn't even have time to think before I threw back the covers and ran out of the room without even putting on my shoes. I didn't know how I could run so fast.
I knocked on the door of my neighbor's house. The three neighbors looked at me in confusion. It wasn't until I told them there was a ghost in the room that their expressions became serious.
"There really is a ghost …" On the roof. " I said, still shaken.
The big brother of the neighbor found out that there was a ghost in my house, so he got a few strong men to come to my house together with several flashlights.
The neighboring elder sister also brought me tea to drink, causing me to suppress my shock. He even found a blanket for me to put on so that I wouldn't catch a cold.
After a while, the big brother returned. He put his hammer down in the corner and his flashlight on the table. He said in disappointment, "We've seen every corner of your house. Not to mention the ghosts, there's not even a fly."
"Impossible," I said, puzzled. "I clearly saw a ghost. That's absolutely true. Could it be that the ghost ran away?"
Big Sis asked, "What kind of ghosts did you see?"
I recalled the terrible scene just now. There was a female ghost on the roof directly above me. Her hair was disheveled and she wore a tattered white dress, and her face gave me a sense of déjà vu. If I'm not mistaken, it was the corpse of the woman who had been extorted during the day at the crematorium.
The ghost girl was reflected on the roof like a movie show, her body curving like a wave, as if she were in the middle of a rippling wave.
I described the ghost girl I had met to the neighboring elder sister, hoping that she would believe that I was not innocent.
However, the neighboring elder sister didn't seem to believe him. She only smiled and said, "It's fine. You must be too tired from work to create illusions. A girl alone would definitely be afraid. You should stay at my house tonight."
"Maybe I did see a ghost."
"Sigh, what era is it now? Everyone has long believed in science, especially you youngsters. Don't be so superstitious."
I didn't say anything else. It doesn't matter if others don't believe me. I don't need them to believe me.
So I spent the night at my neighbor's house. The next day I was still afraid to go back to my own house, afraid that the cry would reappear.
The moment I stepped out of the door, I saw a familiar black car. The car stopped in front of me and the window slowly rolled down. Chu Yibai's warm, jade-like face appeared in my line of sight.
As soon as I saw him, I couldn't help but smile. I was in a very good mood.
"Shan Shan, where are you going?" Chu Yi Bai asked me in his sweet and gentle voice.
"I... I'm just going to buy something. " I lied casually. I can't tell him I'm going to work at the crematorium, can I? He didn't even know I worked at the crematorium. He would have been worried about me and wouldn't let me work anywhere, so I never said.
Yi Bai said, "I'll send you off."
He was looking at me with a particularly warm smile, his eyes narrowed into slits, and his eyebrows were filled with love. He only smiled that way when he was looking at me, and every time he smiled that way I was happy, especially relieved, as if nothing was bothering me anymore.
While driving, Yi Bai casually said, "We're going to be married in seven days, then you don't have to live here anymore."
"Yeah, that's right." I replied with a sweet smile.
The thought of being able to stay at Yubai's house made me especially happy. Their house had a villa in the city area, and the decorations were very exquisite. There were also gardens and fountains. It was my dream home.
At the time of the engagement, everyone else had said that I was the right person to marry Yi Bai. After all, his family is very well off, while mine is not.
If I hadn't known him for so many years and had so many years of love foundation, Yi Bai and I really wouldn't have been compatible with each other. I wouldn't have been worthy of him at all!
When we arrived at the supermarket, Yibai bought me a lot of good things to eat. Even my aunt's towel was chosen for me, because he always remembered my day.
He was the one who paid the bill. He helped me carry the things and sent me home. He took great care of me.
I really don't have much luck living in this world. From young until now, I've always been ordinary. However, Chu Yibai is an exception. He is the greatest lucky person in my life!
Although he wouldn't say such coaxing words, his actual actions made me feel very warm in my heart.
I said I wanted to keep my first night until my wedding night, and he agreed. He never forced me. I was the only one who knew how hard it was for him to resist his own desires.
That's why I feel sorry for him. I want to repay him on my wedding night. However, I … Yet he was insulted by a male ghost!
After returning home in the evening, I carefully opened the door, afraid that the ghost would come out again. It was still bright outside, and I didn't hear any crying, so I let my guard down and made myself a bowl of noodles. I ate while watching TV.
