Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio

  Ge Fei said he was coming over, and I felt much more at ease in an instant, sobbing as I replied: "Cuimeng Garden 6 Building 14."

  "Uh-huh, okay, I'll come over now. Hang up for a bit..." Ge Fei's tone was very casual, probably thinking that I really got drunk.

  "Don't hang up!" I was afraid he would hang up the phone and hastily shouted.

  Ke Fei helplessly sighed and turned to sarcastically mock me: "That must have wasted a lot of phone bill! My aunt, if it were in the past, you would have criticized me to death."

  "It's just a waste of your phone bill anyway." I blurted out carelessly, after all...he's not my boyfriend now.

  "Hmm... I think so! Then I'm out of here!" He said with a seemingly deliberate and sarcastic tone.

  I'm afraid he hung up the phone and the female ghost appeared, hastily shouting: "Don't... don't..."

  "Hey... Lin Sijia, you're still afraid sometimes?" Ge Fei's hobby is to mock me, even at times like this, he doesn't forget to speak sarcastically.

  As I talked with Ge Fei, I seemed to be less afraid, so no matter how he teased me, I didn't retort back, and just kept talking like that until he arrived at my home.

  As for Ge Fei's sudden phone call, I didn't think much of it at the time. Given his personality, it wasn't unusual for him to disturb me in the middle of the night. So I didn't associate the ghost incident with Ge Fei either, nor did I expect that my life would become thrilling and even... almost lost my life several times afterwards.

  I was talking on the phone with Ge Fei until he arrived at my apartment. When I opened the door, I looked carefully through the peephole for a long time to make sure it was really Ge Fei before I dared to open the door.

  Ge Fei held two plastic bags in his hand, standing at the door with a smile: "Lin Sijia, you also have times when you're afraid. You said there's a ghost in this house, but I haven't seen one. I didn't see any on my way here either, did you drink too much?"

  He swaggered in, sat down without so much as a greeting, and plunked the plastic bag onto the coffee table.

  He had just sat down when I saw the red-clad female ghost standing beside him, with blood oozing from her eye sockets and maggots crawling out of her mouth with blood. I was so frightened that I immediately shrieked: "Ghost! Ge Fei! Ghost!" I almost burst into tears.

  Ge Fei looked up and glanced at the red-clothed female ghost standing beside him, with a "you're crazy" expression on his face: "Where did this ghost come from? Lin Sijia, have you had too much to drink?"

  After finishing, he stood up and walked directly through the female ghost to my side, pointing to where the female ghost was standing, as if he hadn't seen her at all, with a bit of impatience: "I told you not to watch so much, but you didn't listen. Look now, you're even having hallucinations."

  "No, really, there are ghosts! You just passed through her body a moment ago! You... you... why don't you believe me?!" I said incoherently, hoping he would believe me.

  Ge Fei turned his head and looked at the female ghost for a moment, then said helplessly: "My Lin lady! Where did this ghost come from? Don't mess around randomly, or you'll disturb the neighbors next door. Be careful not to get beaten up."

  "Alright, I'm leaving." After saying that, Ge Fei stepped towards the door.

  Maybe I was too scared, I didn't even care that he was my ex-boyfriend, nor did I fear him saying that I still had feelings for him. I grabbed his arm and refused to let go, pulling him inside while pointing at the female ghost and telling him: "It's real, look! She's right there, if you leave, she'll definitely kill me. Just now, she was going to kill me, but you called and I managed to escape. The neighborhood committee aunt said this house is not clean..." I kept babbling while holding onto Ge Fei.

  I think Ge Fei is here, that female ghost doesn't dare to harm me. Just now she was standing next to Ge Fei, but didn't dare to move, even her gaze at Ge Fei had a hint of fear.

  Ge Fei was pulled by me and couldn't walk away. Finally, he let out a deep sigh: "Lin Sijia, if you're afraid, go stay at my place first."
