Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio

  "Go to his place? Is it suitable?" Although I'm quite scared, but going to his place to live, I still need to think about it.

  "Alright, I'm leaving then, I still have work tomorrow!" He seemed to hope that I wouldn't go.

  He hadn't even taken a step out yet, and I grabbed his arm, nodding like a chick pecking at grain: "Go go go!"

  There's no other way now. If I continue to stay in this apartment, either that female ghost will drive me to death or scare me directly into a mental hospital.

  "Let's go! I'll send someone to help you with your things tomorrow, I have to get back to work tomorrow and need to hurry. " Ge Fei said as he walked over to the sofa and picked up my bag, phone on the coffee table, and a plastic bag of food.

  I didn't dare to care about anything else now, and I followed Ge Fei with a timid and shrinking heart until we walked out of the community before I dared to let go of his arm.

  It's probably around 2 am now, under the dim streetlights, the road is empty except for me and Ge Fei. After walking for a few minutes, he pulled me onto a car, I don't know much about cars, but it feels pretty comfortable sitting in it.

  Because of the apartment, I'm not as scared as I was just now. After calming down, I suddenly thought of whether Ge Fei has a girlfriend now. In his girlfriend's eyes, ex-girlfriends are the most annoying. So I asked him hesitantly: "Ge Fei... do you have anyone else at home? Your brother..."

  "As for me, Shijie lives in school." He replied succinctly.

  He paused for a moment before speaking again: "From now on, call me Xu Shiwei! My name is now Xu Shiwei." His tone was very serious and didn't seem to be joking.

  "I was extremely puzzled: 'You... when did you change your name?'"

  "This is actually my real name, you know, I'm adopted... Now that I've found my biological parents, that's all." As he said this, Ge Fei seemed a bit down.

  I murmured vaguely and asked again: "What about Uncle Ge and Auntie Ge?" He knew, of course, that the uncle and aunt I was referring to were Uncle Ge and Auntie Ge.

  "They immigrated to Italy five years ago. The day after we broke up, I returned to the Xu family." Ge Fei... uh, perhaps I should call him Xu Shiwei. Xu Shiwei replied indifferently.

  "Hmm, no wonder I couldn't find him later. When I went to his house, the neighbor said they moved away overnight. So when he broke up with me... it was also... Haha, Lin Sijia, you're overthinking, he's already sleeping in bed with someone else, what are you still thinking about?"

  Actually, I wanted to ask him if five years ago when we broke up, and even what I saw... was he just pretending, or if he really is the young master of the Xu family. Maybe all this can be explained if that's the case. Aren't those young masters always involved in political marriages?

  "Lin Sijia, you really are overthinking things, maybe he's just that kind of person! You really do think highly of yourself, and your imagination is quite rich!" I mocked myself in my heart.

  I smiled and said: "Uh, so you're living quite well now, with fine clothes and good food, much better than before, right?"

  Ge Fei... no, wait, it's Xu Shiwei now. Xu Shiwei smiled and said: "It's great, I don't have to worry about food or clothes, and I won't have trouble finding a wife."

  "That's right! If you're really the young master of the Xu family, then the girls who want to marry you will have to line up from Sichuan to Beijing. You can be a groom every day! You'll be on par with those cowboys in heaven!" I said with a sour tone and a sharp tongue.

  Xu Shiwei frowned: "Lin Sijia, you're a girl from a good family, how can you say such shameless things?"

  "I've always been like this, you're not unaware of it." I said nonchalantly.

  Xu Shiwei lowered his head and glanced at me with disdain, saying: "Hmph... indeed, no wonder you haven't had a boyfriend all these years."

  "How did you know I don't have a boyfriend! I'm telling you..." I was very angry and also really curious, how did he know that I didn't have a boyfriend all these years.

  Xu Shiwei sneered, smiling smugly as if he were Detective Conan: "If you really had a boyfriend, why didn't you call him when you saw that red-clothed female ghost with maggots all over her mouth and only whites in her eyesockets, bleeding from seven orifices? Why did you end up having nowhere to go, looking so pitiful? It's obvious no one wants you!"

  "You..." I glared at him furiously, wait, no, he didn't see that female ghost, did he?

  I walked beside him and stuttered: "Y...you saw it!"
