Chapter 8: Emotional Debt

  Hua Qi and Lingling had a conversation, Xiao Chen went to cook some noodles and the three of them ate together. After finishing the noodles, Hua Qi got up to leave, just as the light in her room turned on.

  This really startled them, because before Huaji's room light had always been dim, and no one went to turn on the switch. At this time, Huaji plucked up the courage to enter the room to see what was going on, but it was still the same as before, as soon as she entered the light went out, and when she turned it back on there was nothing.

  But this time it was different, there were movements in the living room, a little like the sound of a girl crying, and also a bit like the faint humming sound when the wind blows.

  When Hua Qi turned around, she saw a woman's figure emerging with the crying sound, standing beside the coffee table in the living room. The shadow was small and seemed very lonely and helpless. Lingling had already been scared to collapse on the chair at the dinner table, and Xiao Chen also felt weak in his legs, and could only stand up with the support of the back of the chair.

  Only Huaji was not scared, but she also carefully asked with a trembling tone: "Excuse me, do you have something to do? Have you been following Lingling these days? Do you need help?"

  The female ghost said in a sharp and cold voice: "This has nothing to do with you, either go into the room or get out, I'm just here to settle accounts with those two."

  As soon as he heard that they were looking for the two of them, Little Chen suddenly collapsed onto the chair and couldn't get up. With a trembling voice, he asked: "Who are you? Why are you looking for me?"

  The female ghost let out a cold laugh, the sound sending chills down one's spine, and said: "How is it that you don't recognize me? Have you forgotten your old lover after getting a new girlfriend? Or do you simply not want to remember me?"

  Xiao Chen's face was covered in cold sweat, and he suddenly thought of his ex-girlfriend. He hesitantly asked: "Are you... Xiaorong? Why are you dead?"

  Xiao Rong burst out laughing and said, "Nonsense! Who can survive being thrown from the seventh floor?! You ungrateful thing!" As she spoke, Xiao Rong pounced on Little Chen, but they were like two different worlds. Xiao Rong passed directly through Little Chen's body without leaving any harm, but Little Chen was scared stiff and fainted.

  At this time, Lingling had already fainted, and the living room was left with only Xiaorong and Huaji, who closed her eyes in fright.

  After a while without any sound, Huaji slowly opened her eyes and saw Xiaochen closing his eyes motionless. She quickly asked Xiaorong: "What's wrong with him? Is he dead?"

  Xiao Rong said with a huff: "Who dies that easily? He just fainted, what a relief for him! Hmph, heartless man, he'd be better off dead!"

  Hua Qi listened vaguely and asked Xiao Rong what was going on.

  Xiao Rong sighed and said in a melancholic tone, "Hmph, there's not a single good man under the sky. I've been observing for several months now, you're new here, living on the third floor, so of course, we wouldn't know each other. I live on the seventh floor, my name is Xiao Rong. That Chen guy was originally my boyfriend, he's quite promiscuous, back then he had relationships with other women besides me, and that woman was one of them. At first, I didn't know, but later I heard about it, and within two days a woman came to find me, telling me to break up with him, saying I wasn't good enough for him. I said, who are you? Am I not good enough, does that mean you're good enough? I also said she was the third party, specializing in ruining others' relationships. Then that woman flew into a rage and we started fighting, just as Little Chen came back and stumbled upon our fight. I asked Little Chen to clarify, whether he liked me or that shameless woman, but he refused to say. Myself and that woman got even angrier, both of us directing our anger at Little Chen, demanding he tell the truth. Little Chen was also furious, actually he didn't like either of us, but he didn't want to tell the truth, so he told us to get lost together!" After finishing speaking, Xiao Rong burst into tears.

  Hua Qi's tense and fearful emotions were instantly replaced with sympathy, as she comforted her while saying: "Don't cry, tell me about it, maybe there's a way to solve it."

  Xiao Rong calmed down and said, "Later, I continued to fight with that woman, and she pushed me out of the window. But that's not all - she was afraid of being caught, so she ran away, and Xiao Chen didn't even chase after her. Later, when people in the neighborhood reported the incident and investigated the house where it happened, Xiao Chen actually said I fell down by myself! Can't they see the signs of a fight? You probably don't know that two days ago, I scared that woman to death. I didn't think she was so timid - maybe after killing me, she was also very afraid. Anyway, as soon as she saw me, she couldn't take it anymore. Someone called 120 to save her, but they couldn't revive her. How's this ending? Isn't it great? A murderer will definitely not have a good outcome. Scaring her to death is letting her off easy - she should also have been thrown from the top of the building to experience what I felt at that time."

  After finishing, Xiaorong couldn't help but mock the woman again, but that feeling always seemed like she was mocking herself for being blind, dying for such a man, leaving people with an endless sense of desolation.

  Hua Qi listened in a daze, unable to speak. Matters of the heart were always hard to put into words. After some thought, she finally said: "So what do you plan to do from now on? These two people have already been scared senseless, are you going to scare them to death?"

  "No," said Xiao Rong, shaking her head. "It's enough already. I think even if they wake up, it won't be any better for them. Maybe being crazy is more torturous than being dead?"

  At this time, Xiaorong revealed a very bleak smile, and the smile was filled with helplessness and unwillingness. Perhaps she had not really let go and put it down.

  As she spoke, Xiaorong's shadow grew fainter and fainter, gradually disappearing from view. Huaji didn't know if she had gone to be reincarnated or if her spirit had scattered, but she silently wished her good luck.

  After a while, Huaji's phone rang. It was Huao calling. As soon as Huaji picked up the phone, she heard Huao's anxious and angry voice: "Where have you been? You're not back yet so late, what did you do last night? Who were you messing around with?"

  Hua Qi explained that her housemate had an accident and asked for help, just as Lingling and Xiao Chen woke up. Hua Qi quickly said a few words to Hua Ou before hanging up the phone and rushing over to Lingling's side.

  "How is it, is it better?" Hua Qi said.

  Lingling shook her head to clear herself, and after reacting, she shouted "Ghost!" Then she ran around the room frantically trying to escape the female ghost. Huaji tried her best to calm her down and told her: "The ghost is gone and will never come back again, don't worry."

  After saying a lot, Lingling finally listened and gradually calmed down, but it seemed that she had indeed gone mad, just like the female ghost Xiaorong said.
