Chapter 1
On a rare rest day, Wen Yifan stayed up late to watch a horror movie.
The weird feeling is all built up by background music and screams. There are no scary pictures throughout the process, and it is as plain as boiled water. Out of obsessive-compulsive disorder, she almost forced her eyelids to finish reading it.
Wen Yifan even felt relieved when the closing subtitles appeared. She closed her eyes, and her thoughts were instantly entangled in sleepiness. Just as he was about to fall into his dream, suddenly, the door was knocked hard.
Bang--
Wen Yifan immediately opened his eyes.
Following the moonlight falling in through the gap in the curtains, he looked at the door. From the outside, you could clearly hear the man's turbid voice when he was drunk and the sound of footsteps stumbling in the other direction.
Then there was the sound of the door being opened and closed.
Blocking most of the movement.
He stared at the door for a few seconds.
It was not until he completely quieted down that Wen Yifan relaxed.
She pursed her lips and became angry after realizing it.
How many times has it been this week?
Once his sleepiness was interrupted, it was difficult for Wen Yifan to fall asleep again. She rolled over, closed her eyes again, and bored to spare some energy to recall the movie she had just seen.
Hmm.
Looks like a ghost movie?
It's still a low-budget crappy movie that thinks it can scare people.
……
While he was in a daze, Wen Yifan's mind inexplicably appeared in the face of the movie.
Three seconds later.
She suddenly got up and turned on the lamp by the bedside.

Throughout the rest of the night, Wen Yifan did not sleep well. While she was half asleep and half awake, she always felt that there was a bloody ghost face staring at her.
It wasn't until it was completely light that she barely fell asleep.
The next day, Wen Yifan was woken up by a phone call.
Because of staying up late and not getting enough sleep, her head seemed to have been pricked by a needle, and it hurt deeply. She was a little annoyed, so she slowly picked up her phone and pressed the answer.
Xiao Zhong Siqiao's low voice came from the other end: "I'll call you back later."
“……”
Wen Yifan's eyelids twitched, and his brain froze for two seconds.
Make a phone call and wake her up.
Forget it.
It's not a feature film, it's just a trailer.
Her breath burst out in an instant and she blurted out: "Are you saving..."
Before he could finish speaking, the phone was hung up.
His fist seemed to have hit cotton. Wen Yifan opened his eyes and breathed out sullenly. After lying in bed for another while, she picked up her phone and looked at the time.
It's approaching two o'clock in the afternoon.
Wen Yifan didn't stay in bed anymore. He pulled a coat and put it on and got out of the bed.
Walking into the toilet.
Wen Yifan was brushing his teeth when his phone rang again. She freed her hand to swipe the screen and directly turned on the external playback.
Zhong Siqiao spoke out first: "Damn it, I just met a high school classmate. I have a greasy hair and haven't put on makeup. I'm so embarrassed!"
"How can you die so easily?" Wen Yifan's mouth was full of foam, and he said vaguely,"Aren't you trying to insult me?"
"..." Zhong Siqiao was silent for three seconds and couldn't be bothered to argue with her."Want to come out tonight? Reporter Wen. You've been working overtime for a week. If you don't have some fun, I'm afraid you'll die suddenly."
"Hmm. Where to?"
"Why don't we go to your work? I don't know if you've been there. My colleague said that there is a bar there with a sneak-looking boss-"Zhong Siqiao said," Hey, why does there keep being water over there? Are you washing dishes?"
Wen Yifan: "Wash up."
Zhong Siqiao was shocked."You just woke up?"
Wen Yifan grunted.
"It's already two o'clock. Even the lunch break is over." Zhong Siqiao felt strange."What did you do last night?"
"I watched a horror movie."
"What's your name?"
"" Seeing ghosts when you wake up "."
Zhong Siqiao had obviously seen this movie and choked: "Is this a horror movie?"
"I went to sleep after reading it." Wen Yifan pretended not to hear what she said. He grabbed the towel beside him and wiped the water droplets off his face."But I suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, and then I really saw a ghost like in the movie."
“……”
"I fought with ghosts all night."
Zhong Siqiao was speechless."Why did you suddenly bring such a restricted topic to me?"
Wen Yifan raised his eyebrows: "Why is it restricted?"
"What fight needs to be fought all night?"
“……”
"Come on, stop whoring ghosts. Sister will take you to prostitute a man." Zhong Siqiao smiled."Handsome, fresh, hot, man."
"Then I'd better go whoring ghosts." Picking up his mobile phone, Wen Yifan walked out of the toilet."At least it doesn't cost money, it's free."
Zhong Siqiao: "Who said it would cost money? Men can also prostitute for free."
Wen Yifan: "Hmm?"
"We can use our eyes to prostitute."
“……”

After hanging up the phone, Wen Yifan told the landlord about last night's situation on WeChat again. Immediately, she hesitated to add, if the lease might not be renewed after the contract expires.
Two months ago, she moved to Nanwu City from Yihe.
Zhong Siqiao helped find the house and there was no major problem.
The only inconvenience is that this is a group rental. The landlord converted an eighty-square-meter house into three separate rooms, each with a toilet. So there are no kitchen balcony and other facilities.
But the advantage is that the price is cheap.
Wen Yifan did not have much requirements for accommodation. Moreover, the transportation here is convenient and the surroundings are lively. She also considered renting it for a long time.
