The adopted abandoned girl

  Walking alone in the chaotic burial mound, all around is pitch black.

  The mud underfoot emitted a stench of rotting corpses, making one feel nauseous.

  The funeral procession played mournful music, carrying a pitch-black coffin past me. The man sitting on the coffin had no expression, emitting a green glow from his body. Following closely behind was a paper bride in bright red wedding dress, grinning at me with an eerie smile.

  I was so scared that I kept backing away, because I knew they weren't human, they were... ghosts!

  "Ah Li, Ah Li, I only want your soul."

  The voice of the ghost woman sounded again in my ear, and a withered hand grasped my foot, pulling me into the grave.

  I fell back with a jolt, screaming as I woke up from the nightmare, staring at the ceiling with wide eyes...

  This is a dream!

  I couldn't sleep again tonight!

  Looking at the clock on the wall, it's almost twelve o'clock. I got out of bed and looked straight ahead towards the door...

  Because I am alone now, in the room opposite me, there is a man who has not returned home yet. His name is Qin Yuanyang, and I call him Uncle. Qin Yuanyang is not my uncle, it's said that 14 years ago he adopted me as an abandoned child.

  Oh, right, I'm called Junli, with "Jun" having a meaning of parting ways, Uncle has always called me that.

  Until now, I still don't know what my original surname was. Uncle said this is my original surname, he brought me back with this name, although I'm suspicious, but I chose to believe uncle because I've lost all memories before the age of six.

  The uncle took me away from that small mountain village where I was fostered with a certain purpose, but until now it's still a mystery.

  I have been in the city for twelve years and lived with Uncle Ah for twelve years.

  Uncle is a public figure, a well-known person who has been paid attention by the media, and a legendary medium.

  He is not at home now, because he was invited by "Ghost Story" to participate in a Taiwanese spiritual program as a special guest. It's already 12 o'clock, and I still have nine hours before I can see the man who often smiles on screen.

  Uncle went on a business trip and didn't make it to my graduation ceremony yesterday.

  I let out a soft sigh and turned back to bed.

  The wall clock ticked away, sounding somewhat eerie in the silent night. The surroundings were pitch black, with occasional moonlight spilling in, casting a faint white glow.

  Burying her head under the pillow, she fell asleep in a daze, unaware of when she had drifted off...

  The next day!

  As I got up with panda eyes and rushed to the airport, it was exactly 9:05. In the crowded crowd, I saw Uncle Ah, who smiled and walked towards me.

  Uncle is still young, thirty-six years old, one meter eighty-six, wearing a suit and leather shoes, with a face as cold as jade, walking with elegance...

  Goodbye Uncle, my heart racing, I stood there in a daze for a moment before waving at Uncle, "Uncle."

  In the morning, Ah Shu ran over and handed him a pair of sunglasses. Ah Shu was extremely sensitive to light, and outside the airport, there were more media than anything else. He grasped Ah Shu's arm and avoided the media as they walked out of the airport.

  In the taxi, I held onto Uncle's arm and didn't let go, whispering beside him, "Uncle, I had another dream."

  After two days, as if a century had passed, I had accumulated a bellyful of words to say to Uncle Ah, but all the words and phrases still boiled down to just seven simple words.

  Only with Uncle by my side can I feel safe, I miss my uncle, but I never thought that one day I would fall in love with him, and so deeply in love with him!
