1010 Perplexed and Smitten 70 (1/2)
”Let's just ignore it for now. Didn't Yan Ge also refuse to make any comment? We'll let him do the clarification if he feels disturbed.”
”Alright, that works too. Sis, I went to look for you at your place just now but you weren't in. Where did you go?”
”We went out for dinner with the children.”
”Hehe, enjoy your meal, then, I won't disturb you any longer.”
”Alright.”
After ending the call, she received yet another one from Fang Erlan.
An Xiaoning initially thought that she had called to talk to her about the rumors. To her surprise, it was not about that at all.
”Sis Xiaoning, could you come over to my place and see if it's haunted by any spirits?”
”Spirits?”
She nodded and explained, ”For three consecutive days, I've been dreaming of a man… I can't explain it clearly over the phone. Could you make a trip down here?”
”Alright, but I'm having dinner now. I'll go over once I'm done eating. Okay?”
”Yes, I'll wait for you. I live in Block C of Qingyuan Estate.”
”Okay.”
After ending the call, Fang Erlan sat on a chair in the estate, feeling extremely tense.
She could not help but feel petrified at the thought of the dreams she'd been having for the past few days.
The moment she woke up from her dream in the evening, she grabbed her mobile phone and scurried outside to get a grip on her emotions. She then called An Xiaoning after sitting down for a long while in a bid to recover from the shock.
Forty minutes later, An Xiaoning alighted from a taxi upon arriving at Qingyuan Estate.
Jin Qingyan drove the children home while she made her way there on her own.
”Erlan.”
”Sis.” Fang Erlan hurriedly scurried toward her and grabbed her hand. ”I was really frightened.”
”Just what happened?”
”Sis, have a seat and I'll tell you what happened before we go upstairs.”
”Alright.” An Xiaoning sat down beside her.
”Here's what happened. Xiao Yue and I went to visit the exhibit of the female corpse at the museum yesterday. I don't know if I brought home any supernatural beings with me or what but I've been dreaming of the same voice and scenario for the past few days…”
”What voice and scenario?” An Xiaoning asked.
”It was a man's voice that sounded rather nice, but he…” Feeling a little embarrassed, Fang Erlan continued, ”He actually molested me and even tried to force himself upon me. I tried to struggle with all my might and I woke up afterward.”
”Did you manage to see his face?”
”No. He always hugs me from behind, and there was no way for me to turn around and catch a glimpse of his face.”
”There are many ancient relics in the museum and it's indeed very eerie. I'm still not sure if there are any spirits that followed you home. Let's go upstairs to take a look.”
”Alright.” Fang Erlan grabbed her hand and followed her into the lobby.
Fang Erlan's hands were trembling when she was pressing the digits of the passcode, as if there were really supernatural spirits haunting her apartment.
Fang Erlan switched on the lights when she entered the apartment, after which An Xiaoning took a careful look at each of the rooms as well as the balcony, only to discover that there were no spirits in the apartment at all.
”There weren't any.”
”Really?” Fang Erlan asked.
”There really aren't any. How about I accompany you for tonight? We'll see if you still get those dreams, alright?”
”Thank you, Sis. That'd be great, of course, but if you don't go home, Mr. Jin…”
”No problem, it's only going to be for a night. Perhaps the spirits left when you were absent from home. I'll accompany you for a night.”
Fang Erlan finally felt less afraid.
