“Sister? What’s wrong with you?”
Luna looked at Xiao Xi’s appearance, and couldn’t help but feel confused.
She hadn’t even had time to change her clothes before opening the Dormitory door directly, her eyes full of concern and surprise.
Xiao Xi, as if finding support, suddenly hugged Luna tightly, her body still trembling slightly.
She kept repeating, “There’s a ghost—!”
Her voice carried a trace of sobbing and fear.
Luna gently patted Xiao Xi’s back, trying to calm her down.
“Sister, calm down first and tell me what happened.”
Under Luna’s comfort, Xiao Xi gradually calmed down.
She let go of Luna, her eyes still carrying a hint of fear.
“The Dormitory is haunted!”
As she spoke, she glanced inside.
Hearing this, Luna frowned slightly.
“Haunted? Sister, can you describe exactly what you saw?”
Listening to Xiao Xi’s words, Luna’s face was full of confusion.
Naturally, she didn’t believe in the existence of ghosts.
I’m a firm believer in Materialism!
“It’s just…”
Then Xiao Xi began to describe in detail the situation she had just encountered, her voice still trembling a little.
Luna listened carefully, her brows furrowing as she tried to find some clues in Xiao Xi’s description.
After listening, Luna nodded thoughtfully, as if some ideas had formed in her mind.
Could it be… Eliza’s doing?
This thought flashed through her mind, and she immediately locked the suspect onto Eliza.
Only I can see her.
If someone wanted to play a prank, it could only be Eliza.
Luna muttered to herself, a certain look flashing in her eyes.
She decided to find Eliza for an explanation and see what kind of mischief this person was up to this time.
But…
Luna looked at Xiao Xi, her eyes filled with gentleness.
Right now, the most important thing was to comfort Sister and help her out of her fear.
But how should she explain those strange phenomena?
This was indeed a troubling problem.
Luna took a deep breath and decided to try to calm Xiao Xi first.
“Um… Sister?”
She called softly.
“Mm…?”
Xiao Xi turned her head, still with a hint of fear in her eyes.
“Don’t be so scared, let’s go in together.”
Luna smiled and reached out her hand, trying to reassure her sister.
“We’ll face it together, there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
“But… there are dirty things inside!”
Xiao Xi shrank back a step, her face pale.
Luna understood Xiao Xi’s fear, but she also knew that running away was not the solution.
So she patiently explained, “Sister, I know you’re scared, but those so-called ‘dirty things’ are probably just illusions or phenomena we don’t understand yet.”
“Let’s go in together and see. Maybe we’ll find an answer, and you won’t be so afraid anymore.”
Looking at Luna’s determined eyes, Xiao Xi gradually felt a bit of courage rise inside.
She hesitantly nodded, still a little scared, but decided to follow Luna in.
So Luna and Xiao Xi entered the Dormitory together.
As soon as they walked in, Luna saw Eliza lying leisurely on the Sofa, a satisfied expression on her face, and suddenly understood a bit.
So it was her doing…
Luna thought to herself, already used to Eliza’s pranks.
But she didn’t expect this time the prank would be aimed at Sister…
But that was all in the past now.
For the moment, the “Supernatural” problem was solved, but a new issue lay before Luna—how to make Sister believe that what she saw was reasonable?
It was obviously impossible to directly tell Xiao Xi that it was all Eliza’s mischief, since Xiao Xi couldn’t see Eliza, and Eliza might not cooperate with her, either.
Luna looked around, then walked over to the Television.
Just as Xiao Xi had said, the Television was still on, but instead of a horror movie, it was just an ordinary Drama.
She picked up the Remote Control on the table, pressed it lightly, and searched the Television screen with her eyes, trying to find a reasonable explanation for all of Eliza’s mischief for Xiao Xi.
Finally, Luna’s lips curled into a mysterious smile.
“Younger Sister? Did you find something?”
Seeing Luna suddenly smile like that, Xiao Xi curiously leaned closer, her eyes shining with a look asking her to explain quickly.
“Mm, I guess so.”
Luna nodded lightly, put down the Remote Control, and began to explain.
“First, the Television suddenly turning on is likely due to a malfunction inside the Television. Looks like we need to call someone to repair it.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the Television, as if to prove Luna’s point, suddenly turned off by itself, then turned back on.
“Eek—! Just like that!”
Seeing the Television turn off and on again, Xiao Xi shrank behind Luna in fright, gripping her shoulders tightly with both hands.
“Don’t worry, it’s just a broken Television.”
Luna gently patted Xiao Xi’s hand, her tone filled with comfort and gentleness.
However, her eyes quietly glanced behind her.
There, Eliza was lying openly on the Sofa, pressing the Television’s power button along with Luna behind them.
“I see… Then that ghost face…”
Xiao Xi’s doubts were not entirely resolved, still lingering on the terrifying Ghost Face.
Seeing this, Luna smiled slightly, picked up the Remote Control skillfully, and operated it in front of the Television.
The screen flickered a few times, and then a familiar image appeared before Xiao Xi.
“That’s right! It’s this Ghost Face!”
Xiao Xi immediately recognized the creepy Ghost Face she had seen earlier.
Luna brought up the Video for Xiao Xi to see and explained, “It’s a Game Video clip.
Just a character model from a Game, nothing to be afraid of.”
Luna was familiar with Games, so she instantly recognized which Game the Ghost Face came from.
She hadn’t expected her usually brave Sister to be frightened by a Game Video.
“That’s all there is to it, Sister.”
Luna gently patted Xiao Xi’s shoulder.
“There’s really no such thing as a ghost, so don’t scare yourself anymore, okay?”
Looking at the Game Video on the screen and listening to Luna’s explanation, Xiao Xi’s fear finally vanished.
A relieved smile appeared on her face.
“So that’s how it is…”
“But I really didn’t expect that the Sister who always seems fearless would be afraid of this kind of thing.”
Luna’s tone was a bit teasing, but still warm.
Her eyes were full of laughter, happy to see her Sister’s frightened side today.
As Xiao Xi listened to her Younger Sister, her cheeks instantly turned red, like a ripe apple that made people want to take a bite.
She stammered in protest.
“Ugh… Being afraid of ghosts is normal…
These things you can’t touch or see are obviously scary!”
Xiao Xi continued to defend herself, but in front of Luna, it sounded weak.
“I get it, I get it.”
Luna replied with a smiling face.
“Absolutely don’t let Qingyan and the others know about this! You understand, Younger Sister.”
Since she had embarrassed herself in front of her Younger Sister, she couldn’t let anyone else know.
Luna blinked and laughed.
“Hehe, then… what will Sister give me as hush money?”
