C30 (1/2)

When the old Daoist heard this, he suddenly burst out into laughter, causing me to nearly spit all over my face.

”Damn it! Old Daoist, why are you laughing? I'm very serious!” I said, and slapped him.

The old Daoist reacted quickly and grabbed my hand with one hand, but his smile didn't stop. After a long while, he said, ”You didn't see a ghost at all.”

”Huh?” I don't believe it.

”You said you smoked a pack of cigarettes. Look at your floor, do you have a cigarette butt?”

I looked at the floor. Not a single cigarette butt...

Uh, I just remembered that I don't smoke. I don't have any cigarettes on me, let alone any cigarette butts …

However, the feeling from last night was very clear. He could clearly see it, it couldn't be fake!

The old Daoist continued, ”In fact, you've always been dreaming. The first time you woke up was actually a scene from a dream. Going to close the door to the balcony was also part of the dream.”

”But, that drop of water on my face …”

”That was your cold sweat. You were scared by your dream. The cold sweat on your nose dripped onto your face. Naturally, you would feel cold.”

”Then how do you explain the female singing for 'Red Bean'?”

The old Daoist laughed heartily and said, ”I heard it too. It's quite nice to listen to.”

”Ah, what?”

The old Daoist said, ”Don't forget that the fourth floor is a girls' dormitory. The girl upstairs has been singing 'Red Bean' while bathing. She probably came back rather late last night, so you could hear her faintly while you were sleeping.”

”Then how do you explain that ghost girl with her nose cut off?”

The old Daoist slapped him. ”I already said it was a dream. Of course it was imagined by you while you were dreaming.”

I still don't believe it.

The old Daoist saw that my face was filled with suspicion and said, ”Follow me, I will make you sincerely submit.” With that, he walked out.

I followed the old man up to the fourth floor. There was a security booth set up at the corner of the stairs between the third and fourth floor. An aunt was watching over the booth, as this was to prevent boys from coming up from the third floor and harassing the girls, doing perverted acts such as peeping or stealing underwear.

We checked in briefly and then arrived at room 433.

The old Daoist knocked on the door, and soon, a pretty girl walked out. She suspiciously sized up the two of us, then said, ”What do you want?” This tone was very unfriendly and cold.

The old Daoist opened his mouth and said, ”Beauty, please don't sing 'Red Bean' during your next shower. This is not because you sing badly, in fact, you sing even better than Wang Fei, but you scared my friend. Right now, he is feeling restless and unable to sleep, and is about to turn into a panda.

The girl revealed a puzzled expression and then said coldly, ”What does my singing have to do with you?” Red Bean was my favorite song. I started singing it when I was in my first year of high school. If I didn't sing it when I was in my shower, my whole body would feel uncomfortable. ”Eh?” At this moment, the girl suddenly frowned, stared blankly for a moment, then said, ”How did you know I was singing?” Then she was immediately shocked, ”Damn it, you two perverts, did you peep at me while I was bathing? No, I'm going to the police!” ”Abnormal!”

The old Daoist hurriedly explained, ”We live on the third floor. This floor is very crappy, and the soundproofing effect is not as strong as a piece of paper. So if you sing on top of us, we can hear you.” The old Daoist then muttered, ”With a person like you, you don't even have the qualifications to have me peek …”

”What did you say?” Your girl's face immediately darkened. Although the old Taoist said his last sentence very softly, I'm sure she heard it.

I was thinking, what's wrong with women these days?

Peeping at her, she was unhappy. If she didn't peep at her, she would be even more unhappy. Alas, I really don't understand …

The old Daoist laughed. ”It's nothing. Since you like singing 'Red Bean' so much, you have your freedom too. We can't stop you. We'll leave now and not disturb you any longer.”

As he spoke, the old Daoist pulled me away.

The old Daoist pulled me up to prove that the singing was done by this girl upstairs.

The old Daoist grabbed my shoulder and said, ”See that? We already said that the girls upstairs sang 'Red Bean'. Now, you should believe that your dorm doesn't have ghosts, right?”

I was extremely embarrassed. I thought to myself, according to what the old Daoist said, my dorm really doesn't have ghosts. Am I crazy?

Sigh, these past few days I've been cursed continuously and have become a deification. It seems that I was the one scaring myself.

What he said was true …
