C71 (1/2)

I looked up at her and froze, almost forgetting to breathe.

I opened my mouth to tell her that you had been possessed by a water ghost, but before I could say anything, I heard Sister Yun ask from behind me, ”Is it Qing Ling?” As he said this, he came forward and took a look at the woman, and shouted in surprise, ”Ah, Qing Ling, it's really you!”

I pointed to the woman and asked, ”You know each other?”

The woman was also stunned for a moment. When Yun-jie came over, she seemed to have recognized Yun-jie and shouted, ”You're Xiao Yunyun?”

Sister Yun nodded. It was obvious that the two of them knew each other. However, whenever they met friends, they would talk and sigh emotionally. But unexpectedly, the woman suddenly thought of a flash flood. She threw herself into Sister Yun's arms and burst into tears. She didn't say anything, but continued to cry, which was heart-wrenching.

Only now did I know that this woman was called Shui Qingling, and that she was Big Sister Yun, Xiao Yunyun's university classmate. He was a close friend in university, but they lost contact after graduation. He didn't expect the two of them to live in the same city. Actually, this kind of situation was very common. Sometimes, even if he just brushed his shoulder, he wouldn't know. For example, once, when a friend and I passed an open-air restaurant and looked at the food on the table, I told the friend that it seemed to be a good dish, so next time we can try it out as well. And I didn't even see that table with a classmate I hadn't seen for five years. If he didn't stop me, I would have missed it.

”There's even someone surnamed Shui?” I asked.

Sister Yun looked at me in disdain and ignored me. She only said to Shui Qingling, ”Come, let's go home!”

I thought I had nowhere else to go, and I had no money on me, so I slept all night on this lawn. However, Yun-jie insisted that it was not safe at night. Besides, I was drunk and insisted that I come to her house because her parents had just left for a trip abroad and she had a place to live.

At first, Shui Qingling hugged Sister Yun and cried as she got into the car. Then, she sat in the car and cried alone. From time to time, he would ask me what had happened to her, and if anything was going to happen to her.

I said, ”You were possessed by a water ghost or a soul capture, so you lost yourself …” Before I could finish, Yun-jie gave me a pinch. ”Nonsense! Why didn't I see anything?”

”I didn't hook your soul, so of course you can't see it. If your soul was hooked away …”

Before I could finish, Shui Qingling started crying loudly again, drowning out my voice. After crying for a while, she asked again, ”What about me now? Did my soul get hooked away?”

I thought to myself that this woman was very stupid and could not help but bitterly smile, ”Her soul was not hooked away, but her brain was hooked away!”

Sister Yun burst out laughing when she heard this. However, when we heard Shui Qingling's next words, Sister Yun and I broke down completely. She asked in a low voice, ”Ah? Did my brain really get hooked off? How do I get it back! ”

I wondered what was wrong with this woman. Was she really that stupid? Or was it because she was frightened just now and her mind was so tense that she didn't know how to turn around? However, after she asked this question, everyone became silent. I was silent because I was thinking about what had collided against my forehead, and whether the water ghost would resent me for having its body seized by me, as well as what Shui Qingling saw at that time. I was going to ask her, but she was scared, so I didn't dare ask. Sister Yun seemed to be thinking about something as she drove. Her mind was much better than Qing Ling's. She must have thought of something. Shui Qingling sat in the back, occasionally sobbing as she wiped away her tears. She was probably scared to death this time. But then again, who wouldn't be afraid of something like this? How could they just forget it?

The next day, Yun-jie asked me if I had any work to do.
