My Tenant is a Female Ghost
The sound of a bell chimed sweetly, "Ding ding ling ling... ding ding ling ling..." Bai Zhuo felt a deep connection to this lovely sound in Elder Ge's flower shop. As soon as the door to Ge's Flower Shop opened, the wind chimes at the entrance rang out melodiously, creating a delightful atmosphere.
"Who are you?" Bai Zhuo asked.
Recently, Bai Zhuo had encountered many "beautiful women," whether it was Ouyang Shirei, Lin Yao Yao, or even Su Meiniang. Yet none of them exuded the same aura as this woman. It was an indescribable feeling—like awe, gratitude, guilt, and a sense of familiarity all rolled into one.
The woman wore a red short-sleeved top and a short skirt, her delicate oval face captivating. Her long, shapely legs were alluring, rivaling even Su Meiniang's charm. She was barefoot, with a golden bell tied with a red string around her right ankle, adding a playful touch to her appearance. Sitting at the edge of a cliff, she swung her legs lightly, the bell jingling softly.
Bai Zhuo curiously asked, "Beautiful lady, please don’t think too much... Have I seen you somewhere before?"
Her long hair cascaded down to her waist, playfully resting on the ground. She seemed not fond of laughter or conversation; she turned slightly to glance at Bai Zhuo before resting her hands on the ground and gazing into the distance without answering him.
Bai Zhuo cautiously approached the cliff's edge, but unexpectedly, the woman stood up, spreading her arms wide and slowly leaning toward the precipice.
"Don't!" Bai Zhuo shouted as he reached out to grab her delicate wrist. However, her hand slipped through his fingers like water. She jumped off. Tears streamed down Bai Zhuo's cheeks without him realizing it.
"An Zhi Xi!" Bai Zhuo suddenly sat up in bed, drenched in sweat and gasping for breath—it had all been a dream.
The familiar scent of disinfectant filled the air, and he found himself staring blankly at the white hospital bed. It seemed he had just experienced a strange dream but couldn't recall any details. He tapped his head in frustration but decided it wasn't important.
"Bai, you're awake!"
At the sound of the voice, Bai Zhuo looked over. "Huh? Sister Shirei, what are you doing here?"
Beside them, Ge Shui Lian rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Your phone has been ringing non-stop with no one answering, so I picked it up for you. And here she is... This woman really has some persistence; even after being ignored, she keeps calling."
Ouyang Shirei's face flushed as she defended herself, "I-I'm his sister. What's wrong with caring about my brother?"
"Biological sister? Ha, more like a romantic sister," Ge Shui Lian teased.
"You! Ge Shui Lian, don’t think just because you’re Bai’s senior sister you can say whatever you want!" Ouyang Shirei retorted angrily.
It seemed the two had quarreled quite a few times and were familiar with each other. Bai Zhuo lay on the hospital bed, weakly saying, "Stop arguing, you're giving me a headache. Don’t disturb the other patients."
Only then did Ouyang Shirei realize and rushed over to hold Bai Zhuo's large hand, asking with concern, "Bai, how are you? Is there anywhere that hurts?"
"I'm fine, feeling quite energetic, just a bit hungry."
Seeing the two "showing affection," Ge Shui Lian couldn't stand it and pouted, "I'll go buy you some porridge." With that, she left.
This time without Huang Jiangliu around, Bai Zhuo was in a regular ward. An Old Man nearby teased him, "Oh, not bad at all! You've had three or four beautiful women come to see you; your luck is quite impressive!"
Bai Zhuo curiously asked Ouyang Shirei, "Three or four? I only think Sister Shirei is the beauty here."
"Hahaha, you’re in bliss but don’t even know it... Ah, we’re getting old..." The Old Man sighed and shook his head before resting.
Ouyang Shirei's cheeks flushed as she shot Bai Zhuo a glare. "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm almost thirty; how can I compare to those young girls?" Her tone carried an unrecognized hint of melancholy.
Bai Zhuo could be quite thick-headed, unable to grasp the underlying meaning, and curiously asked, "Besides Ge Shui Lian, who else has come to see me?"
"It seems like they are all her classmates. One is named Yang Liu, and another one, I think, is called Lanlan."
"Oh? Lanlan is okay now? That's good... I didn't mean to worry Sister Shirei. I'm fine."
Ouyang Shirei gently hit him, saying, "You really are something. You never take things seriously. I've already arranged everything at the orphanage. Speaking of which, I still owe you a big meal. If I hadn't called you, I wouldn't have known you got into such a big mess... You were struck by lightning! You scared me to death; I'm just glad you're okay."
Indeed, Ouyang Shirei was the kind of girl who was most afraid of thunder. As soon as she heard Bai Zhuo had been struck by lightning, she rushed over without a second thought.
"Haha, don't worry, Sister Shirei. I'm tough enough to handle it. By the way, how long did I sleep?"
"You've been out for almost an entire night."
Bai Zhuo calculated that there were still four hours left until the Ghost Hunting Competition in the Yin Yang Realm. It seemed he needed to hurry and learn some techniques from Elder Ge; cramming at the last minute might still prove useful.
Ouyang Shirei held Bai Zhuo's hand again and said softly, "Bai."
"Yes? What's up, Sister Shirei?"
"Promise me that no matter what you do in the future, you will take care of yourself and not get into situations like these again."
Bai Zhuo was momentarily taken aback by Ouyang Shirei's gentle tone. The inexperienced young man felt his face flush and nodded repeatedly, changing the subject. "Sister Shirei, you still owe me that big meal! When are you going to treat me?"
"You're injured and still thinking about food. Are you a pig or something? Tomorrow night, I'll treat you to a French dinner. Make sure to rest well today."
"Yes, sister!"
Ouyang Shirei lightly tapped the playful Bai Zhuo and pouted, asking, "Bai, who is that... that An Zhi Xi?"
"Who?"
"An Zhi Xi, An Zhi Xi!" Ouyang Shirei thought Bai Zhuo was pretending to be clueless and felt annoyed.
Bai Zhuo looked puzzled, his expression innocent. "An Zhi Xi? Who is that? I really don't know her. Is she a girl? Has she come to see me?"
Ouyang Shirei shot him a suspicious glance. "An Zhi Xi! That person you kept calling out for while you were unconscious... You seriously don't know her?"
Bai Zhuo furrowed his brows and thought for a long time. The name sounded somewhat familiar, but he couldn't recall who she was or where he had seen her. Seeing Bai Zhuo deep in thought, Ouyang Shirei realized he didn't seem to be faking it. "You really don't know her?"
"I really don't know her."
Ouyang Shirei felt curious. She thought she had a good understanding of her brother Bai by now, but suddenly there were girls like Ge Shui Lian and Yang Liu around him, all as beautiful as she was. Now another girl, An Zhi Xi, who Bai Zhuo seemed to dream about, had appeared! She found it increasingly difficult to see through Bai Zhuo.
