Chapter 144.1: Shui Shui (1)
When Shui Shui was three years old, Ye Sui and Chen Shu brought him on a tour. When they arrived at the hotel, they heard about a legend, telling that the vicinity was haunted.
Local people said that a black sedan carriage would appear in the middle of the night, and there was a beautiful lady in it. She would invite handsome mens to accompany her.
This beautiful ghost would charm people, so they must be careful.
Chen Shu and Ye Sui had seen a lot of ghosts, and had ignored this legend.
The family of three sat in the room to eat. The window wasn’t closed, and at this moment, a picture floated in the mid-air, passed the window, and landed quietly on the table.
Ye Sui glanced at it. The painting depicted an ancient woman. The woman hid her face with a fan, only showing a pair of beautiful eyes.
‘But why did this painting appear here out of thin air? It was too weird, it wasn’t done by any human.’
Ye Sui put the painting aside, and Chen Shu withdrew his gaze after he took a glance at the painting. When Shui Shui was eating, he accidentally knocked over the dish.
Chen Shu picked up the bowl and put it on top of the painting, completely covering the beautiful ancient woman that was holding a fan.
The next day, they were about to go out. Before they left, Ye Sui found a handkerchief on their desk. The door of the room was clearly closed. Where did this handkerchief come from? She wondered.
Ye Sui looked at the handkerchief. There were a few words written on the handkerchief, “I am waiting for you.”
Ye Sui remembered the beautiful lady’s painting she saw yesterday, and looked at the handkerchief again, she couldn’t help but think of the fascinating legend about the black sedan beautiful lady.
‘Could it be that the beautiful ghost lady is fascinated with Chen Shu?’
Ye Sui and Chen Shu talked about this matter, and he turned silent. After a while, he said, “If this is the case, let’s see how to solve it.”
The two put the matter down for the time being, and they brought Shui Shui to play outside the whole day. At nine o’clock in the evening, they were ready to go home and walked to the hotel together.
The road back was a bit remote. There were no people on the road, and it was very ghost-quite.
Ye Sui walked for a bit and felt something was wrong. She looked at Chen Shu and frowned, “Don’t you think we have already walked this path before?”
Chen Shu frowned and said solemnly, “We seem to be walking on the same road again and again.”
The two turned silent, they looked around and there was no one there. A big tree stood not far away, and a gentle breeze sent ripples through branches, making a whimper as if it was crying.
The shadow of the tree shook gently, projecting on the ground, deep and dark. At first glance, it looked like a ghost, gloomy and cold.
Ye Sui already had a guess in her mind. At this moment, Shui Shui said, “Mommy, I’m sleepy.”
Ye Sui bent down and looked at Shui Shui, “Does the baby want to sleep?”
Shui Shui yawned, his eyes almost couldn’t open, as he nodded dazedly. Chen Shu picked up Shui Shui and let him sleep in his arms.
Shui Shui seemed to be extremely sleepy and soon fell asleep.

Ye Sui just bought a bunch of local cobblestone bracelets on the road, and now it just happened to come in handy. Ye Sui picked up the necklace and pulled it gently.
She picked up some soft pebbles and put them under the tree as markers. Chen Shu saw Ye Sui’s movements, and didn’t disturb her.
Ye Sui and Chen Shu circled around again, and they still returned to the same big tree. The two soft pebbles that Ye Sui had just placed under the tree were still lying there.
Ye Sui and Chen Shu looked at each other, and they were sure that they were lost and kept circling back to where they started.
Ye Sui was helpless, and confused why the ghost wanted to stop them. Fortunately, Shui Shui was already asleep now, so there was no need for him to face this.
Ye Sui shouted into the air, “We didn’t have any issue with you, can you let us go now?”
