Chapter 63 Another
"Ah! Help!"
Jiang Yingyue screamed loudly and struggled hard.
“Don’t scream!”
Following a roar, Jiang Yingyue's eyes lit up and she found that the person holding her was Tan Xuan. Jiang Yingyue immediately calmed down and stopped kicking and digging with her hands.
" Tan Xuan, why are you hugging me?" Jiang Yingyue asked in confusion, her face full of shyness mixed with anger.
Tan Xuan's face turned pale and he snorted, "Why should I hold you? You didn't listen when I told you to. If I didn't hold you, you would have jumped off the building."
"Jump off the building? I was just about to enter Sister Wang's room, why would I jump off the building? Let me tell you, Sister Wang is not dead, look at her..."
Jiang Yingyue turned her head and looked into the door of Sister Wang's bedroom. She was stunned for a moment. There was no Sister Wang's bedroom door in front of her. It was clearly the floor-to-ceiling window of the balcony. It was dark in front of her and there was no shadow of Sister Wang.
At this time, the window was open, and the wind from outside blew in, bringing a hint of early autumn coolness. Jiang Yingyue's heart was colder than the night wind, and a chill from head to toe instantly swept over her body.
"This... this... what happened to me?" Jiang Yingyue asked with trembling teeth. In addition to confusion, she was more afraid. Regardless of whether she saw a human or a ghost, if Tan Xuan hadn't hugged her around the waist, she would have jumped out of the window. She lived on the 15th floor. Even if she didn't turn into a picture, she would have died if she fell.
At this time, Xiao Di came over and said in a bad tone: "You still have the nerve to ask what's wrong with you. You ran to the window as soon as you entered the house. No matter how I called you, you didn't respond. If it wasn't for Tan Xuan's quick action, you would have jumped off the building by now."
Tan Xuan turned around and glared at Xiao Di, "Xiao Di, don't talk nonsense."
"How did I say that?" Xiao Di glared back at Tan Xuan, and then said in an unhappy tone: "Why, why don't you put her down? How long do you want to hold her?"
Tan Xuan let go of Jiang Yingyue, his face a little embarrassed. Although he was eager to save people just now, he couldn't stand Xiao Di's sarcasm. Although Tan Xuan put Jiang Yingyue down, Jiang Yingyue still subconsciously grabbed Tan Xuan's arm.
After Jiang Yingyue landed, she said to Tan Xuan in shock: "Tan Xuan, I, I just saw Sister Wang."
Tan Xuan nodded, "I know, don't be afraid, Xiao Di and I are here, don't worry."
Tan Xuan didn't say much, he just opened his mouth to comfort Jiang Yingyue, because he could clearly feel that Jiang Yingyue was shivering violently at this moment, and was obviously frightened.
"I saw her waving at me, so I walked over here. I remember I had already reached the door of my bedroom, so why was I still in the living room? And in front of the window..."
"You were possessed by a ghost just now. Everything you saw was an illusion caused by the influence of the ghost."
"Am I possessed by a ghost?" Jiang Yingyue looked at Tan Xuan in panic, "You mean there is a ghost in my dormitory? Is Sister Wang back?"
Tan Xuan snorted coldly, "Yes, it's the sister Wang who made you heartbroken. I didn't expect that she really missed you so much that she didn't forget to come to find you even after her death."
"Ah, where is she now?"
Jiang Yingyue held Tan Xuan's hand even tighter, and tremblingly glanced at the room with the corner of her eyes. Fortunately, the room was empty. Apart from Tan Xuan and Xiao Di, she didn't see any other figures.
"She ran away. She ran away when I came in." Tan Xuan stuck his head out and looked out the window. It was very quiet outside. The ghost of Sister Wang had already hidden away somewhere.
"Oh!" Jiang Yingyue let out a long sigh, and then asked in confusion: "Why did Sister Wang charm me and almost make me jump off the building? I am her friend."
"A ghost is not a human being. She won't remember old friendships. She came to you first after her death and wanted to take you with her to keep her company. She is really your friend. Do you plan to stay with her through life and death?"
Tan Xuan looked at the furnishings in the living room and said , "Let's go. It's not safe for you to live here. If she fails to harm you once, she will come after you again. Hurry up and pack your things and move to another place."
Jiang Yingyue didn't ask any more questions, and there was no need to ask. She really didn't dare to stay in this place any longer. Accompanied by Xiao Di, she returned to her bedroom. After a while, she had packed everything and came out with a trolley case.
"Let's go." Tan Xuan picked up the suitcase and walked in front, Jiang Yingyue and Xiao Di followed closely behind him and walked out of the dormitory door.
When they got downstairs and felt the cool breeze, the three of them suddenly realized a problem they had not considered.
"It's so late, where should I stay?" Jiang Yingyue looked at Tan Xuan with a helpless look and asked.
"This..." Tan Xuan didn't know how to answer. He was only concerned about whether there was anything unusual in the house. He was worried about Jiang Yingyue living here alone, but he forgot to think about where Jiang Yingyue would live.
"Don't you have any relatives in Jiangzhou?" Tan Xuan asked Jiang Yingyue.
Jiang Yingyue lowered her head and said nothing, looking at the ground pitifully, as if there was some treasure on the ground.
No answer was the same as an answer. Tan Xuan did not continue to ask more questions, but looked at Xiao Di, "Xiao Di, how about you take Jiang Yingyue to stay at your place for two days?"
Xiao Di was stunned for a moment, then said with difficulty: "You know the conditions of the house I rented. It's a bit crowded for me to live alone. If she goes there, there will be no place to live."
"Tsk..." Tan Xuan shook his lips. Tan Xuan could understand the problem Xiao Di was talking about. Xiao Di's house was so small that no one wanted to share a bed with an unfamiliar person. No matter if the other person was a man or a woman, anyone who cared a little bit would not accept this situation. Moreover, this was the first time they met and they had not known each other for a long time. How could he bring her back to his home directly? However, he could understand it, but the problem of where Jiang Yingyue lived had to be solved.
Realizing Tan Xuan's dilemma, Jiang Yingyue said sympathetically, "You don't have to worry about me. I can live anywhere. I'll go to the company tonight and spend the night there. I'll talk to the company tomorrow and it shouldn't be a problem to find me a different dormitory."
Before Tan Xuan could object, Xiao Di raised an objection, "This won't work. Since your sister Wang can come back to the dormitory to find you, she might be waiting for you in your company. If you go to the company in the middle of the night, aren't you just throwing yourself into the tiger's mouth and sending yourself to death?"
"That……"
After Xiao Di's reminder, Jiang Yingyue became nervous again, because the situation Xiao Di described was not impossible, but very likely. If the ghost of Sister Wang wanted to harm her, it would be even more dangerous to go to the company.
"If it really doesn't work, I'll find a hotel to stay in first." Since there was really nowhere else to go, Jiang Yingyue told her the only place where she could stay.
Tan Xuan shook his head and said, "If that female ghost wants to harm you, the hotel may not be safe. I don't know how determined she is to harm you. How about this, if you don't mind, stay at my place for two days. No matter how powerful the ghost is, it won't dare to act recklessly at my place."
"Go to your house?" Xiao Di stared at Tan Xuan with her big watery eyes in disbelief and asked, "Is it appropriate for her to live in your house?"
"What's inappropriate? I have room at home anyway."
Tan Xuan said this casually and understood what Xiao Di meant. He smiled and said, "It's getting late today. You should come with us. Jiang Yingyue has been through a lot today. I'm afraid she won't be able to recover for a while. If she needs any help, you are all girls, so it will be convenient for you to take care of her."
"This... is not necessary, right?" Jiang Yingyue said awkwardly. Just from her attitude, it was unclear whether he was embarrassed to refuse or embarrassed to go to Tan Xuan's house again.
Tan Xuan took the responsibility without allowing any room for refusal, saying, "It's nothing. You've been to my house before. If you don't go to my house, do you have any other place to live? It's settled. I can't say anything else, but at least my house isn't haunted. I can guarantee your absolute safety."
"This..." Jiang Yingyue was still a little hesitant. Although Tan Xuan's house was spacious, it would inevitably be inappropriate for a single man and a single woman to live together.
"It's okay. Didn't he say he has a place at his house? I'll go over there tonight."
"Okay then." Jiang Yingyue thought for a while and finally succumbed to reality and agreed to go to Tan Xuan's house to deal with it first.
After putting the suitcase in the trunk, the three of them got in the car and drove directly towards Tan Xuan's house.
The night got deeper, and the streets became quieter. The buildings on the roadside were all dark, and even the street lights on the roadside became listless. Not long after the car left the community, Tan Xuan frowned because there was a man waving at them from the side of the road.
"Who is this person? Is he waving at us? Why does he look familiar?" Xiao Di muttered softly.
Jiang Yingyue, who had been keeping her head down and keeping silent since getting on the bus, was so angry when she heard Xiao Di's words. When she saw the person on the roadside ahead, she immediately grabbed Xiao Di's hand and stammered, "He...he..."
"Who is he?" Xiao Di asked anxiously. She just felt that the person in front of her looked a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him.
"He is Mr. Li." Jiang Yingyue finally finished her words.
"Mr. Li?" Xiao Di was confused and still couldn't remember this person.
Tan Xuan snorted coldly, "Don't you remember who he is? You saw him just now. Isn't he the man who was fished out of the river?"
"It's him." Xiao Di now knew why the man looked familiar. She had seen him before, but it was a dead body, while the one in front of her was a ghost.
"Damn, a newly dead ghost dares to act so rude in front of me. Have I been too low-key recently?" Tan Xuan pressed the brakes and the car stopped. He reached out to unbuckle the seat belt, and his mother Lily pushed the door and got out of the car.
"Stay in the car, I'll go meet him."
Tan Xuan closed the car door and walked to the front of the car, but did not move forward, because there was a pit dug by the municipal department to repair the underground pipeline near the Li Station. If Tan Xuan drove the car in front of him, he would fall directly into the pit. Unfortunately, his trick was not enough in front of Tan Xuan.
"What's the matter? You guys haven't stopped yet, have you?" Tan Xuan asked Mr. Li with a cold face. This endless cycle of talking one after another really annoyed him.
"hey-hey……"
Mr. Li did not say anything, but just smiled sinisterly at Tan Xuan. Suddenly, the skin on his bloodless face was torn apart, revealing the white bones inside. In an instant, only a skull with green light coming out of the eye sockets was left, and the skull still had its mouth open and continued to laugh strangely.
"You are shameless and you use things that are not presentable to scare people. If I don't hit you, you don't know where it hurts."
Tan Xuan suddenly jumped forward, stepped on the edge of the pit and jumped directly in front of Mr. Li, then punched Mr. Li in the chest.
"Ah!" Jiang Yingyue screamed in the car. She didn't expect that the first person to attack was not the ghost, but Tan Xuan.
“Gah!”
Mr. Li let out a scream and was knocked away by Tan Xuan, falling into a pit nearby.
Tan Xuan jumped in and followed, intending to pursue the victory, but when he fell into the pit, he found that Mr. Li was gone.
