She suddenly stopped drying her hair and looked at me with a familiar smile on her face.
"Don't you know how to ask him?"
Thinking of Xie Jingyuan's actions and attitude just now, I actually did not have much confidence, especially because of the child. We had argued before.
"You know I won't ask."
"When the time comes, you will naturally know.”
After she finished speaking, she jumped off the boat and greeted the construction team. The young man's hearty laughter and the young girl's gentle words were a perfect match.
I was so annoyed that I threw the towel in my hand on the ground and got into the car.
However, no matter how much I hated Ye Mei, I still had to stay in the same room with her after returning to the guest house.
Seeing her enter and exit the bathroom to take a shower, I felt an inexplicable frustration in my heart. I walked out of the room, passed through the corridor, and arrived at the lobby.
The members of the construction team who came back were discussing their next work. When they saw me, they didn't even raise their heads.
"I asked the kitchen to boil some ginger soup. You two should drink some. Otherwise, you might catch a cold. Although it's summer, the water is very cold.”
"Alright, thank you, Captain."
I have always hated eating onions, ginger, and garlic, but it was rare that I didn't reject it.
After drinking the ginger soup, it was time to eat.
During lunch, everyone still sat around the table to eat. The difference was that because they went out for a mission today, the food was much better. The kitchen had prepared hotpot in advance.
"Sigh, it's rare to have hotpot. If only there was beer.”
"Come on, we still have to continue working in the afternoon. Moreover, there are girls around.”The captain kicked the person who spoke.
"Fine, fine, fine. Women are troublesome.”
I could tell that they were joking, but I wasn't angry.
"Speaking of which, Su He, Ye Mei, do you know the rumors about this guest house?”The team member who had been eating suddenly raised his head and asked us.
"What rumors?" I asked subconsciously.
"Hey, what are you doing? She was eating a good meal, yet she said such an unlucky thing.”The captain was anxious and cursed across the table.
I was more interested in them." What is it? Since you guys are so secretive, why don't you tell me? Just treat it as a story.”
Eating was boring anyway.
"Do you really want to hear it?"
"Of course." I looked at him without a second thought.
"Actually, this guest house we're staying in has a history of 30 years. When the three gorges dam was built, those engineers lived here! It was here that this historic building was completed.”
"But later, ghosts started to appear in the guest house.”
At the dining table, the originally lively voices gradually died down, leaving only the team member telling a story.
"First, a person heard it and then said it. No one would believe it. After all, everyone here is in the field of science.”
"Yes, I am."
"That's right. I don't believe it either."
"Su He, Ye Mei, do you believe me? Are you afraid? If you're afraid, just say so. I won't say anything.”He winked at me and Ye Mei, obviously wanting to see us 'girls' make a fool of ourselves.
I snorted." What's there to be afraid of? Continue."”
"Alright."
"It wasn't until more and more people said that they heard it that everyone had to take it seriously. They found a feng shui master to come over and check on the feng shui. Unexpectedly, the master stayed here for a night and was found dead in his room the next morning.”
"How miserable? His body seemed to have been soaked in water for a few days, and it swelled up. It was said that the bed he slept on was still hung with water grass.”
"From then on, no one dared to open the door when they heard footsteps coming from the corridor at night.”
I was shocked and thought of the footsteps from last night. I subconsciously wanted to look at Ye Mei, but she turned her head disdainfully.
I don't know if he's disdainful of me or this ghost story.
I wasn't in a good mood after being rebuffed by Ye Mei."Since the footsteps you mentioned came from the corridor, why don't we install a surveillance camera in the corridor?”
"If you can think of it, then of course Senior has thought of it too. It's useless. From then on, the members of the expedition team who came here continued to die tragically.”
" Then we…" I said as I looked at the expressions of the surrounding team members.
Half a day later, the person sitting next to the storyteller kicked him." I told you not to tell anymore. You must have scared the little girl."”
Actually, I wasn't that afraid, but I could tell that many people believed this rumor.
I put down my bowl and chopsticks." I'm full. I'll go back first. Call me when you're working in the afternoon."”
Back in the room, just as she lay on the bed, Ye Mei followed in. She leaned against the wall and said,""If there really are water ghosts, how did you come up here alive?”
"Don't go too far. I saved you, but you actually repaid my kindness with ingratitude and pushed me down. If it wasn't for…"
If Xie Jingyuan had not come out to save me, I would have been fed to the water ghost.
"Hmph, who asked you to be so naive?"
Looking at her young and lively face in her white dress, I suddenly remembered something and asked,"Are you even human?"
Her expression changed." If I'm not human, what else can I be?”
"Then how did you get to know Xie Jingyuan? Looking at you, you're not over 20 years old, right?”
Her expression changed several times before she finally said,"Don't beat around the bush and try to probe me. If you really want to know what my relationship with Xie Jingyuan is, then ask him personally.”
I clenched my fists.
"I'm going to take an afternoon nap. Don't nag so much that I can't sleep.”She got into bed and closed her eyes to rest.
I took a deep breath. No matter what, my health was more important. I adjusted the air conditioner to the maximum and covered my head to sleep.
I was in a daze from my afternoon nap. In a daze, I seemed to hear footsteps coming and going. I found that person noisy, but I was too lazy to move, so I ignored him.
When he got up at three o'clock, Ye Mei was no longer in the room.
I washed up a little and went out of the room. Just as I walked into the corridor, I saw the captain coming over with an ugly expression." Zhang Hai is dead."”
Zhang Hai was a member of the engineering team.
I frowned." What happened?"
We didn't go out for an inspection in the middle of the afternoon, nor did we have any other work tasks. We were resting in the room. How could something happen?
In a flash, I thought of the footsteps.
"He drowned in his room." Captain's words completely shattered my inner struggle.
"Captain."
"Is everyone here? Did anything happen to anyone else?" The captain asked the team member who had jogged over.
"No."
I took a deep breath and walked to the lobby. I saw the swollen corpse of the teammate on the stretcher.
Because of fear, no one dared to go up and cover him with a white cloth.
