Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio

  Xu Shiwei nodded: "En... looks scary and weird, really can't eat when looking at it."

  "You just said you didn't see her, and you wanted to leave me there alone with that red-clothed one. Just looking at her, she's a malevolent spirit! The kind that preys on people's lives! What if she takes my life? I'll come find you every night to chat! Hmph!" I gritted my teeth, he clearly saw her but pretended not to see.

  Xu Shiwei sighed and looked at me sideways: "Lin Sijia, you're still as foolish as before. Look at her, she's fierce and intimidating towards you, but towards me? It's precisely because you can see her that she's scaring you! If you couldn't see her, how could she scare you?"

  He seemed to have a point, I murmured vaguely. If there's a ghost in my apartment, then what was that thing I ran into outside the elevator today? Anyway, it couldn't be Ge Fei! No, wait, it couldn't be Xu Shiwei either. Xu Shiwei is standing right in front of me now, could he have had his soul wandering around two hours ago?

  The more I think about it, the stranger it feels. So I directly asked him: "Don't you have a twin brother or something? And then he died young or something?"

  Xu Shiwei's hands paused on the steering wheel as he heard my question, his head turned to me with a shocked expression: "You...how did you know?"

  "I...I said I saw you, and you still don't believe me!" Just mentioning this matter makes me feel terrified, my words are even stuttering.

  Xu Shiwei's grip on the steering wheel tightened, and his face suddenly turned solemn: "You... really saw him."

  I nodded and said firmly, "Yes, he was wearing a long coat and a black top hat, muttering to himself over there... saying you're Lin Sijia."

  "He's still back." Xu Shiwei's forehead was covered with sweat beads, swaying unsteadily.

  I don't know why, but as soon as he said that, I inexplicably became afraid: "What does that mean?"

  Xu Shiwei, ah, I'm still not used to calling him that. His face was gloomy: "I indeed have a twin brother, who died in a car accident five years ago... it was my fault." As he spoke, his voice was filled with guilt.

  "But... the car accident... what does it have to do with you! Ugh, ugh, ugh! Could it be that you killed him to get all the family property for yourself? I never thought you were so vicious! But why did he come looking for me?" I was extremely puzzled, even if his twin brother died, what does it have to do with me? Why did he come looking for me?

  It seems... since I saw Ge Fei today..., uh, people now call him Xu Shiwei, and I forgot again. Anyway, it was after meeting him that I ran into that guy in a leather jacket... the ghost.

  Xu Shiwei's fingers lightly tapped on the steering wheel, his eyebrows furrowed: "Maybe... it's because I often mutter your name."

  "What's the point of mentioning my name for no reason? You must really hate me! Ugh..." But despite saying that, I still felt a little pleased in my heart.

  "Don't get any ideas, I was just thinking that Lin Sijia has the courage to live on like Zhu Bajie, what can't I do?"

  "You... Ge Fei! A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory, you're despicable!" I'm fed up, I've long known that nothing good comes from his mouth.

  While talking to him, I've already arrived at Xu Shiwei... uh, no, I'm still more used to calling him Ge Fei. As everyone knows, when a very familiar person suddenly changes their name to something completely unrelated, it's really awkward to call out to them, even though the name Xu Shiwei sounds much better than Ge Fei. But I'm still used to calling him by that loser's name.

  Ge Fei stepped on the brakes and turned around to say to me: "We're here, get off."

  I slowly got out of his car and stood beside it, shivering all over with cold. Although it was midnight, it's summer now, I don't know why it's so cold.

  Ge Fei held something and shouted at me: "Let's go, can you see?" As he said that, he waved his mobile phone at me.

  "Eh! Lin Sijia, why is your face so pale? Are you okay?" Ge Fei's expression turned ugly and he quickly walked to my side, embracing me in his arms.

  I'm freezing like I'm in Antarctica, my whole body has no strength at all, and I can't take care of anything else. The whole person is shrunk into Ge Fei's arms. Stuttering out a few words: "Cold... so cold... Ge Fei... I'm cold..."
