"Did you hear that? Did you forget to turn off your phone video?" Xia Linsong calmly asked.

"I didn’t watch any videos tonight," replied Song Qin.

"Hee-hee-hee come play with us~ Get up~" the laughter of the female ghost echoed again.

Xia Linsong and Song Qin were frightened, frozen in place on their bed, their eyes darting around the room in terror.

Just as they were panicking, the ghost, with her messy hair, suddenly appeared hanging upside down in front of them.

"Ahh~" two terrified screams rent the air, coming from Xia Linsong and Song Qin.

"Ghost~" Both Xia Linsong and Song Qin tumbled out of bed in their panic, looking incredibly distressed.

"Puhahaha" Seeing their flustered state, Xia Yue burst into laughter.

Ever since she could remember, she had never seen them this flustered before. In her presence, they were always serious or stern, portraying the image of a gentle, polite, and exemplary couple in front of outsiders.

They would never allow themselves to be seen in such a disheveled or humiliating state, subject to ridicule.

Now seeing their state, Xia Yue couldn’t help but laugh, looking towards Xia Qing’s room, smiling broadly.

Xia Qing was sleeping soundly when she was awakened by the noise caused by the ghost. On opening her eyes she saw a terrifying figure, a woman’s head, hanging down in front of her, which made her scream repeatedly.

She grabbed her pillow, throwing it in panic, before frantically jumping off the bed, only to be seized by the ankle by the ghost.

"Shh, play with me. This long night is too lonely for me," the red-dressed ghost whispered eerily in her ear.

"Leave me alone. I don’t know you," sobbed Xia Qing, pleading for mercy.

"The more you cry, the more excited I get," the ghost laughed.

Confused about whether to cry, Xia Qing attempted to run but felt a grip on her shoulder.

The three ghosts amused themselves by making the three humans scream in terror, the frequent screams quickly alerting the attention of the night guards.

Upon hearing the guards’ voices, the people inside the house pleaded for help.

When Xia Xi noticed that their abnormal behavior had been discovered, she quickly sent a message via paper crane to the three ghosts, asking them to let the people out and wait in the house.

After the guards had left, they could scare the people again and then return.

The three ghosts listened to Xia Xi and gave Song Qin, Xia Linsong, and Xia Qing a chance to run out of the room.

Once outside, they told the guards who knocked on the door that there was a ghost inside and requested them to check.

The guards, seeing their terrified expressions and disheveled clothing, felt that they wouldn’t lie, particularly as these three always cared about maintaining their image.

Upon entering the room, the guards found disarray but didn’t see any causes for suspicion.

After explaining this to them, Xia Linsong, Song Qin, and Xia Qing heaved a sigh of relief, but were still a little afraid.

At last, they left one guard at their door, in case something happened inside, the guard could immediately rush in.

They felt courageous enough to return and prepare to continue their sleep only after this arrangement.

As they lay in bed for about thirty minutes with nothing happening, they thought that maybe they had been hallucinating earlier.

No sooner had they settled down to sleep than the laughter of the ghosts began again.

After being toyed with for fifteen minutes, they escaped once more.

They swore not to enter the room again.

The three ghosts came back to Xia Xi’s room, bid her goodbye, and returned to their canisters.

Meanwhile, Xia Linsong and the others were escorted by the guards to the living room, pale and looking terrified.
