The hand that catches the ghost trembles slightly

Xia Yu woke up from the dream.

Her heart was pounding, but no matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't figure out what she dreamed of. Only the feeling of lingering fear still lingered in her mind for a long time.

She shrank back into the quilt, and then thought of that strange woman last night, and the weird conversation they had before they separated——

"My name is Han Meimei."

"What a coincidence, I'mLiLei haha."

Thinking of it this way, the fright caused by the nightmare dissipated a lot.

That inexplicable woman is kinda cute.

Xia Yu couldn't help thinking about it.

The old-fashioned pendulum clock hanging on the wall made a dull sound, and it rang ten times.

It's already ten o'clock in the evening.

Yesterday Li Lei asked Han Meimei to go to the rooftop to return the umbrella, now it's time to meet the lovely young lady.

Xia Yu lost all sleepiness, threw off the quilt, quickly got dressed, then crept open the door and ran out without turning on the light.

Her parents slept so deeply that they didn't notice their daughter sneaking away.

The lights in the corridor are voice-activated.

It's ten o'clock in the middle of the night, which is already very late in the north where there is little nightlife.

In order not to disturb the sleeping neighbor, Xia Yu climbed up lightly, the voice was so low that even the voice control lights didn't turn on.

She simply lives on the 27th floor, otherwise she would not dare to take the elevator to the top floor alone in the middle of the night.

The rooftop is in sight.

There were rusty chains hanging on some dilapidated iron doors. When she pushed lightly, there was a "squeak" sound of grinding teeth, and the chains also rattled.

The slightly cool night air poured into the corridor through the crack of the door, Xia Yu clutched her coat tightly and pulled the iron door completely open.

It didn't rain today.

Xia Yu looked up at the small piece of sky that was exposed, and felt that the sky from the [-]th floor was no different from the ground—because the sky was so far away.

"Student Han Meimei, why don't you come in?"

A woman's voice came from the rooftop, Xia Yu couldn't help covering her face.

Everyone knows that Han Meimei and Li Lei are a pair of difficult brothers and sisters in foreign language books, and it is shameful to call each other like this.

And it was obviously on the rooftop where the wind was blowing from all sides, but the woman spoke as if she was invited to her house as a guest, obviously treating the rooftop as her own back garden.

Xia Yu walked out directly.

Is it early or late at ten o'clock.

It is not early because the sky is completely dark, and a bright moon and a few stars can be clearly seen in the sky; it is not late because the city has not yet fallen asleep at this time, and the streets not far away are full of traffic , the lights were flickering, and the huge advertising screen opposite was also showing advertisements shot by popular stars.

So under the light, she saw the woman clearly.

This strange woman is still standing in the same position as yesterday, with her back leaning against a railing, and a lit cigarette between the index and middle fingers of her right hand.

Xia Yu quickly walked in front of her, and asked softly like a thief, "Have you brought what I want?"

woman:"……"

Seeing that she was silent, Xia Yu put his hand into the pocket of his jacket, made a gesture of digging out, and growled nervously, "Are you kidding me?! Where the hell is it?!"

woman:"……"

Xia Yu seemed to be irritated by the woman's inaction, directly took out the things in her pocket, and "slapped" at the woman.

The woman's gaze was fixed on her hand - holding a strawberry-flavored lollipop there.

The woman looked indifferent: "Stop making trouble."

Xia Yu shrugged, walked over and threw the lollipop to her.

The woman caught it with her left hand, threw the candy directly into her clothes pocket, and couldn't help but take another puff of the cigarette, the falling ash was blown away by the wind.

Xia Yu reminded, "For littering, you will be fined fifty."

The woman squatted down silently and extinguished the remaining half of the cigarette.

Xia Yu showed a smiling face: "Smoking is harmful to your health, don't smoke again in the future."

A stiff smile appeared on the woman's delicate face: "Thank you for your concern."

Xia Yu's smile became more sincere: "You're welcome~"

The woman almost broke the railing in her hand.

Not wanting to continue arguing with her, the woman said directly: "Your umbrella was damaged by the wind yesterday."

Xia Yu froze for a moment, and then her eyes filled with tears: "That umbrella...is my grandma's relic..."

The woman who suffered once was not fooled at all, she said with a cold face: "Your grandma died when your father was nine years old, and folding umbrellas hadn't been produced yet at that time."

Xia Yu, whose lies were exposed on the spot, did not panic at all.

She scratched her hair and said with a smirk: "Hahahaha I seem to remember wrongly."

The woman said: "Add a WeChat, and I will transfer the umbrella money to you."

"Oh." Xia Yu touched her pocket and found that there was only another lollipop she bought in it.

She actually forgot to bring her mobile phone.

"My mobile phone is downstairs, why don't you just give me cash."

"I don't have the money you can spend."

With just one sentence, many thoughts appeared in Xia Yu's mind in an instant.

What is the money she can spend?

Isn't the money she can spend in RMB?

Does the woman mean that she has no money with her - or does she only have coins?

Xia Yu quietly took a step back.

After some brainstorming, the woman's impatient expression turned into a sign before the murder.

Xia Yu said decisively: "I am an excellent member of the Communist Youth League. I should learn from Uncle Lei Feng's spirit of doing good deeds without leaving a name. If the umbrella is broken, it will be broken. It's just an umbrella. How can I still ask you for money?" ? How does this conform to the core socialist values?!"

Woman: "... I beg you, stop it, don't be shy."

Xia Yu squatted down and swept the dust on the ground with her sleeve.

It just rained last night, and the roof was still a little damp at the moment, but she sat down without paying attention, hugged her bent knees with her arms, and looked up at the woman's delicate eyebrows: "I... I'm just a little scared ..."

The woman sighed and sat beside her: "What are you afraid of?"

Xia Yu said nonchalantly, "I don't even know your name...but you know that my grandma passed away when my father was nine..."

The woman said in a cadenced tone with no expression on her face: "Meimei! Have you forgotten?! I am Li Lei!"

Xia Yu: "..." Are you happy after this?

Woman: "Just call me June."

Xia Yu: "...Don't tell me it's June, so you just named it June..."

Miss June raised her eyebrows and said, "Yes."

Xia Yu: "..." Suddenly, there was an illusion that the time had come without reporting...

Finally regaining [-]% in the confrontation between the two, June showed a gratified smile.

Everyone flirted with each other, Xia Yu finally remembered and returned to the topic, and asked, "Miss June, why did you appear on the roof of my house? Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

"I'm because—" After these four words blurted out, June felt something was wrong, "What does unfulfilled wish mean..."

And Xia Yu has already verified his conjecture through what she subconsciously said first - this young lady is indeed not human!

She said: "If you have a wrong, you have a debt, don't worry, young lady, as long as you don't come to pester me, I will do my best to help you realize your wish. I will buy you some Ming coins tomorrow morning, and we will go to the cross road together." Burn your mouth..."

June's wrist made a "creaking" sound, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Who, tell, tell, you, me, already, died??"

Xia Yu was so frightened that she immediately panicked: "Then why do you, a young girl, live on the rooftop all the time?"

"I came here at 09:30."

After Jun moved her wrists and stood up to move her ankles, Xia Yu always felt that she might want to kick herself.

She moved out involuntarily: "Then how did you know me? Why do you know me so well?"

June fell silent suddenly, and didn't break himself into a "click" all over.

She looked up at the bright moon in the sky, then lowered her head and said seriously to Xia Yu, "I am you ten years from now."

Xia Yu was shocked: "Is it a lie?"

June: "Yes."

Xia Yu: "..." In just one day, you have changed...

There were fewer and fewer cars on the road, and the neon lights and advertising signs were dimmed one by one. The time passed in their conversation, and they didn't realize until all the street lights were extinguished—it was already twelve o'clock.

I didn't expect the time to pass so quickly.

Two people?Sitting under the shed, arm in arm, looking up together at the stars, which are more apparent now that the lights are out.

Xia Yu asked her, "Is it convenient for you to tell me your name?"

June shook her head: "No, I just don't want to tell you."

Xia Yu: "... If you say that... we may not be able to continue our pleasant conversation."

June chuckled: "You can ask something else, such as——my purpose."

"Alright then." Xia Yu asked helplessly, "What is your purpose in coming to me?"

June said: "Have you really never doubted your identity?"

"Could it be——" Xia Yu was stunned, she blinked, recalling some of her unrealistic fantasies, and asked in surprise, "Could it be—— am I really the Miss Qianjin who was lost among the people? "

June:"……"

Xia Yu grabbed the arm of June next to him: "Did you come to find me by my cheap father? To tell you the truth, I wanted to charge 500 million to my bus card a long time ago..."

June: "...I'm sorry for disappointing you. If you want 500 million, I'll burn it to you in a moment." Xia Yu's eyes showed resentment: "Then what's wrong with my identity..."

"You never suspected—why do you have no memory of the day?"

In the cool breeze of the night, this woman who appeared inexplicably asked.

The author has something to say: the following content has nothing to do with the main text——

Originally, I planned to write this article in a bright and sad style. Xia Yu wanted to go to the rooftop to commit suicide, but he met himself who had turned into a ghost ten years later.Xia Yu has never found out who the female ghost is, and fell in love with her little by little in the process of getting along with her, until one day, the female ghost suddenly disappeared, Xia Yu jumped upstairs to find her. Next, the white dress she was wearing was stained red with blood, turning into an earthbound spirit.Later, she waited and waited, and finally one day she saw a girl walking up to the rooftop and asked her if she wanted an umbrella, and she understood everything in an instant.

But I have learned the lesson of the first book, it is impossible to write abusive essays, and I don’t want to write abusive essays in this life.
