The next morning, when Ji Zhe woke up from his bed, his mind was still a little dazed. He looked around until he saw the half-open cabinet door. His face turned pale instantly.

There seemed to be a different smell lingering in the air, but Ji Zhe had no time to pay attention to it at this moment. His teeth began to chatter and he could not speak clearly:

"Six, six, six, yesterday, last night I——"

Ji Zhe originally wanted to ask if the ghost had appeared at night, and why he was lying in bed;

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a voice from outside the door:

"Xiaozhe, are you awake?"

It was Pei Yu, and for some reason, Ji Zhe inexplicably heard a hint of joy in this sentence, which was really strange;

But no matter what, it's always good to have someone coming. Ji Zhe hurriedly got out of bed and went to open the door, intending to tell Pei Yu about the ghost encounter last night.

Who would have thought that when the door opened, Ji Zhe opened his mouth and before he could say anything, his eyes widened and stared straight behind the man;

It was a woman wearing an ancient blood-red wedding dress, or a female ghost. Her face was pale and stiff, with two bright red spots painted on her cheeks. Her eyes were gray and turbid. At first glance, she looked like a dead person.

His long black hair was scattered all over his body, like a pile of dense spider webs. A thick rope was wrapped around his purple neck, with the end hidden in his black hair. His legs were swinging in the air, like a ghost demanding his life.

"Behind, behind, behind you..."

Ji Zhe's lips turned pale, and he tried to pull Pei Yu over with trembling hands, but the female ghost seemed to have seen through his thoughts. She grinned and directly put her hand on Pei Yu's shoulder, leaving a bloody red handprint;

Ji Zhe froze in place.

There was a sudden weight on his shoulders, and the boy behind him looked so scared that he wanted to cry. Pei Yu was not stupid, so he naturally thought about what had happened;

They are really two little kids, one likes to make trouble and the other is afraid of ghosts.

He sighed helplessly, stretched out his hand and patted the things on his shoulder, without turning his head, he said:

"Okay, Cuicui, stop playing. Xiaozhe is timid, don't get scared, or he'll get sick again."

The tone sounded like a reprimand, but in reality it was just the elders’ words towards the younger ones who loved to play, and generally had no ill will;

Ji Zhe was still in a daze when he heard a young female voice:

"Hehe, I understand, Mr. Pei."

When he looked again, there was no female ghost. Standing behind Pei Yu was a little girl who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. She was wearing an emerald green dress and had a big smile on her face.

“This is————” what for?

Ji Zhe looked at Pei Yu with doubt. He still hadn't figured out the current situation. It was clearly a ghost just now...

The man approached, reached out his hand and touched Ji Zhe's head, with a smile on his face, and asked back:

"Did Xiaozhe see something last night?"

After hearing this, Ji Zhe nodded. The horrific scene from last night seemed to reappear before his eyes, and there was still fear in his voice:

"Yes, yes, I want to tell you, this house is haunted!"

"Hey, I knew it. When I pushed the door open last night, I saw you fainted. I immediately thought it was their doing."

Pei Yu shook his head, took Ji Zhe's hand, stood with him, faced Cuicui, and said:

"Don't be afraid, I'll let them apologize to you."

Then his face turned cold and he pretended to be angry:

"What did I say before? Don't scare people. Why don't you apologize now?"

?

Ji Zhe's mind began to swirl. Before he could react, the little girl ran over with a smile and hugged his arm:

"Hey, I'm sorry, Master Xiaozhe!"

?

Ji Zhe thought for a long time before gradually coming back to his senses. He looked at the smiling girl in front of him and said in a difficult tone:

"You mean, the person who scared me last night was you?"

The little girl nodded first, then shook her head, as if to be serious, and replied with a frown on her small face:

"It's not just me, there's also Ayuan!"

Ji Zhe didn't care who A Yuan was. His delicate eyebrows were knitted together, and his face was tangled again and again, but he still asked the question that was bothering him:

"So, are you a human or a ghost?"

Asking this question always seemed disrespectful to others, and Ji Zhe didn't expect Cuicui to answer. He looked at the little girl next to him who was shorter than him. She had a smile on her lips, rosy cheeks, and sparkling eyes. She really didn't look like a ghost at all.

That’s right, how could a ghost appear in broad daylight? It would be reduced to ashes just like in TV dramas.

Ji Zhe heaved a sigh of relief and was about to put his mind at ease, but the little girl's answer made his brain freeze instantly————

"What are you talking about, Master Xiaozhe? Of course I am a ghost. In this Pei Mansion, there are more ghosts than people!"
