Chapter 50: The Tale of Water Ghost(2)

Chen Shu’s gaze was deep and profound as he stared into Ye Sui’s eyes. Perhaps because it was late at night, his voice was a bit dumb. “Good night.”

Under the dim light, inexplicable emotions poured in Chen’s Shu mind.

Soon after their marriage, they got along well in these two months. Before that, Chen Shu had never known Ye Sui.

It was Ye Sui who had taken the initiative to get close to him. Even though she was timid, she always showed goodwill to him… every beautiful fragment of her was coinciding with each other bit by bit.

She became such a distinct figure in his heart, carving a mark in his world.

Chen Shu was lying on the sofa, stupidly looking at the ceiling. The corners of his mouth turned up, and he silently smiled.

The day after, they were so tired that they slept until noon and went straight to get lunch in the hotel.

Chen Shu had reserved the whole hotel; therefore, there were no other guests.

In other words, every employee in this hotel served only Chen Shu and Ye Sui in the past few days.

The restaurant of the hotel also relied on the lake. Through the glass, they could see the oblique sunlight and the calm and peaceful lake outside.

When ordering, Ye Sui buried her head all the way. The hat shaded most of her face, and a pair of sunglasses covered her eyes. This was a disguise often used by tourists.

It looks like wearing a full set of sunburn protection.

They were the only ones in the dining hall. After the waiter left, Ye Sui finally raised her head.

After delivering the meal, the waiter looked at them frequently. Chen Shu was handsome, while Ye Sui was wearing a long skirt, but one could still see her excellent figure at a glance. However, her face couldn’t be seen clearly.

At last, the waiter concluded that Mrs. Chen was a beauty enthusiast, and even while having a meal in the restaurant, she was afraid of getting sunburned.

When Chen Shu and Ye Sui were having dinner, they heard the waiters gossiping. Since the whole restaurant was booked by them, the voices in the empty restaurant were loud and clear to the ears.

The words “legend of the water ghost” were being mentioned in the discussion currently. Ye Sui became especially alert when she heard of the ghost story and immediately tilted her head.

Ye Sui was so absorbed that she even forgot to eat lunch.

Chen Shu soon noticed the little tricks of Ye Sui. He glanced at her hat, and the next second, he stretched out his hand, placing it on the brim of Ye Sui’s hat.

Ye Sui was startled and turned to look at him. Chen Shu pulled down the brim of her hat to ensure that Ye Sui’s face would not be seen.

“Waiter.” Chen Shu motioned to the waiter. The waiter who was secretly talking just now came up quickly.

“What else do you need?”

Chen Shu pointed to another waiter standing nearby. “Tell us again what you said to her just now.”

The waiter was stunned and embarrassed at the same time. “Sorry to disturb your meal,” he said.

Chen Shu looked at Ye Sui. “My wife is very interested in the legend of the Water Ghost. She wants to know all about it.”

Seeing that Chen Shu did not pursue his dereliction of duty, the waitress promptly explained what they had just gossiped about.

It turned out that there was a legend circulating in this place. Once there was a young girl who died in this water area. After her death, her soul wandered in the water and became a water ghost, unable to leave.

The Water Ghost was stunning and hooked people’s souls in order to make them keep company with her. She would come to the shore, again and again, dragging those near the water inside.

So, many people slipped into the water, some hitting their heads and some directly falling.

However, there was a solution. The water ghosts only appeared after midnight. And while she is staring at you, avoid looking at her for more than five seconds. Don’t be lured away by her, and then just find a chance to escape.

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.
