The reporter’s mouth was already dry, and she was almost surprised by her own ability to tell stories. Suddenly, she heard an untimely plop, which interrupted her story and almost stopped her heart.

  Ye Sui lowered her head. Just now, she didn’t hold it firmly, causing the chopsticks in her hand to drop to the floor. However, she would never admit that she was afraid.

  Chen Shu bent down and calmly picked up the chopsticks on the ground and handed them to the waiter. “Please, bring another pair of chopsticks.”


  As soon as the waiter left, Ye Sui immediately hypnotized herself. “This story must be false.” Her tone was very positive.

  Chen Shu saw the waiter coming back and took the clean chopsticks. “Remember not to drop them next time.” Chen Shu relentlessly quashed Ye Sui’s fear.

  Ye Sui: “.……”


  Ye Sui could only comfort herself. With Chen Shu beside her, she had nothing to be afraid of.

  Even if the water ghost appeared, according to Chen Shu’s temperament, he might drag its hair, pull it out of the water, and bake it in the sun for a whole day.

  When Ye Sui thought so, she was not so afraid anymore.

  After eating, Chen Shu’s phone suddenly rang. Ye Sui went back to her room first. She drew all the curtains open. The warm sunshine filled the room, leaving no spot for ghosts to hide.

  After the curtains were pulled open, the window showed a lake. In the daytime, it was tranquil. Only the wind blowing in Ye Sui’s ear seemed to sink into silence.

  Ye Sui was sitting on the edge of the wooden floor, the water ripples at her feet spreading around. She almost wanted to close her eyes and take a nap here.

  In a quiet afternoon, the water ripples on the water surface suddenly began to get bigger from far to near. Ye Sui was staring intently at the strange scene.

  The next second, a head emerged from the water. Even in the shadow, the girl’s skin was still white and shining like pearls.

  Long, wet hair hung over her shoulders, and several strands fell loosely, covering her cheek. Still, she could get a glimpse of that mysterious and beautiful face.

  Suddenly, the water ripples were rising again. The girl slowly stretched out her two white arms and laid them gently on the ground.

  The girl looked at Ye Sui with her head tilted slightly, her bright eyes studying the human. The scene seemed like a beautiful picture.

  Ye Sui glanced at the girl’s feet. And they were indeed feet, not a tail. Hence, this beautiful girl was not a mermaid, but a water ghost from the legend just now.

  The kind that hooked people’s souls and dragged them into the water.

  Ye Sui did not wait for the water ghost to approach and immediately stood up from the floor. All the ghosts she had met before were lovely, so she barely persuaded herself to live in peace with them.

  But this water ghost was not the same; she could be harmful.

  Ye Sui recalled the ways to deal with the water ghost and put her eyes aside as quickly as possible, not meeting her gaze.

  Ye Sui was about to flee back to the room when Chen Shu’s voice suddenly rang. “Ye Sui, are you outside?”


  Just now, Ye Sui was too nervous to hear the sound of the door opening and did not know that Chen Shu had already entered. While speaking, he went out of the sliding window and stood in front of her.

  Chen Shu was paying close attention to Ye Sui’s strange reaction in the first place. His brow wrinkled slightly. “What’s the matter? Saw the ghost again?”


  The next second, Chen Shu turned to look at the water surface and searched around, trying to find out what the legendary ghost looked like. However, he was disappointed; he was the ghosts’ nemesis and could not see them even if he wanted to.

  Ye Sui saw Chen Shu’s actions, and her heart went into a panic. At this moment, she forgot the fact that he could control ghosts, fearing that Chen Shu would be lured away by the beautiful water ghost.

  Ye Sui’s instinct was faster than her thoughts. She held out her hand and covered Chen Shu’s eyes.

  “Don’t look; that ghost will haunt you.”
