Chapter 116: Chang Ying’s Call for Help (4)
Chang Ying seemingly unintentionally squeezed to Ye Sui’s front and blocked her camera. Now, all the cameras were only focused on her.
She took a deep breath and put her hand on the doorknob.
A click sounded in the silent night. However, the door did not open. Instead, the door handle was pulled off by Chang Ying.
Chang Ying was so scared that she almost threw the handle in her hand. Fortunately, she remembered that she was in front of a camera, so she didn’t let the lens capture her screaming and scared ugly state.
She barely squeezed a smile. “This must have been done intentionally by the crew to scare us, the guests.”
This time, it was not done by the program crew, though. They also chose not to take the blame for it.
Director Sun explained, “When we came yesterday, the handle was still good.”
What did this mean? This handle was either accidentally pulled off by Chang Ying herself or broken by a ghost. It was definitely not caused by the program team.
When the director said that, Chang Ying was a little embarrassed. She held the handle, feeling at a loss. She could neither hold it nor throw it.
Chang Ying braved herself and pushed the door open. The light in the dormitory was very dim, as only a small lamp on the bed was turned on.
The windows were left open. When the wind blew, the curtains would flutter, making some noise in this otherwise silent place. No one dared to take a step forward. Even Chang Ying, who volunteered just now, had no courage.
Ye Sui took the lead to go to the innermost bed and sat down.
She glanced around and took in the whole room. The reason she chose this bed was because of a dark shadow on the opposite bed.
Ye Sui kindly reminded the remaining guests, “Let’s sleep on this side.”
The guests had some trust in Ye Sui’s words. Jin Gang, Song Bai, and Zhao Hui promptly walked towards her. Song Bai and Zhao Hui dared not to go to the other bed, so they squeezed together with Ye Sui.
Jin Gang was a big man, so naturally, he couldn’t squeeze in together with them. In the end, he forced himself to take Ye Sui’s upper bunk.
There were eight beds in the dormitory, and two of them were already being used.
Chang Ying didn’t want to sit together with Ye Sui from the very beginning. Nonetheless, she had to swallow her anger and please Ye Sui in every way because of their previous affairs.
But Chang Ying was actually reluctant. She was on the show right now, and she didn’t need to let Ye Sui hog the limelight anymore.
“There’s no place to sit on Ye Sui’s bed, so I’ll take the opposite side.”
Ye Sui helplessly watched Chang Ying go to the bed with some dark shadows. She winked at Chen Shu, who was standing at the door.
Chen Shu understood Ye Sui’s meaning. There should be a ghost on the bed Chang Ying chose.
Ye Sui kindly reminded Chang Ying, “There’s still a bed left. Would you like to sleep here?” She pointed at the empty bed on the side.
How could Chang Ying accept Ye Sui’s kindness? She wouldn’t let her take all the shots. Since she was here alone, the camera would focus on her more.
Chang Ying pretended to be nice on the surface. “No, I want to sit opposite you so that I can chat with you face-to-face.”
Seeing Chang Ying like this, Ye Sui didn’t insist. Anyway, she had done her best. Eventually, she just gave her a smile. “Well, then you can sit there.”
Ye Sui’s kind gesture made the netizens speculate.
“Why do I think Ye Sui’s words have a deeper meaning? Is there something on Chang Ying’s side? She just called her over.”
“Is the upstairs thinking too much? Fans say that Ye Sui can see ghosts, so she really sees them? It’s nonsense. Chang Ying can sit wherever she wants. Why does Ye Sui care so much about it? Does she really think she’s a big shot?”
Chang Ying’s fans naturally didn’t like Ye Sui. The harmony that had been maintained was instantly broken.
“Why are you so aggressive? It’s just a guess. I didn’t say anything bad about Chang Ying. Why did you link it with Ye Sui?!”
“That’s right, will Suisui say nonsense? Let’s just see how Chang Ying slaps her own face later.”
The bullet screen[1] was covered in an instant as Ye Sui’s and Chang Ying’s fought with each other.
Chang Ying didn’t care about Ye Sui’s reminder. She comfortably leaned against the wall, her knees bent. Ye Sui could already see the dark figure beside Chang Ying clearly.
Because of Chang Ying’s action, the shadow leaned towards her and said, “Did Ying Ying come here because she wanted to sit with me?”
Of course, this ghost was one of Chang Ying’s fans, a high school student.
The next second, the fan ghost, who hadn’t seen the real idol, got excited. Her first action was to move toward Chang Ying and make sure whether she was the real deal or not.
The fan ghost pulled up a strand of Chang Ying’s long hair, and Ye Sui noticed that Chang Ying’s long hair floated up.
Song Bai looked at Chang Ying strangely. “What’s wrong with your hair?”
Chang Ying was stunned. Despite having misgivings in her heart, she immediately smoothed her hair. She explained to Song Bai with the gentle tine of a big sister, “It’s nothing. Don’t be afraid.”
Ye Sui watched the fan ghost make another move. The ghost was digging something from under the pillow; it seemed like a small picture.
She glanced at Chang Ying sympathetically, “Chang Ying, you’d better come and sit here.”
Chang Ying was just about to refuse, but she suddenly felt something on her hand. She looked down and saw a picture.
It happened to be her in the picture.
Chang Ying screamed while disregarding her image. She threw the photo aside and ran in the direction of her aunt, who was said to be able to drive away ghosts.
“Ye Sui, save me!”
