Luzhao didn't have dinner with us. He seemed to have something urgent and left after sending us home.

Just after we finished eating, Lumingyin continued telling me Yao Yao's story, trying to awaken my memory.

Just as she recalled the time when we were five years old and insisted on calling Luzhao "mom," her body suddenly swayed and fell on the sofa.

Zhou Yi exclaimed and wanted to call Luzhao.

I touched Lumingyin's forehead and said, "No need, she's fine."

Seeing Zhou Yi's puzzled expression, I added, "She just has a fever."

Zhou Yi and I carried Lumingyin to the bedroom together, and then Zhou Yi went to find fever-reducing medicine.

I sat by the bed and looked at the deep blue sky outside.

Suddenly, a white lightning bolt struck down from the horizon, followed by a deafening thunder.

I frowned, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

At this moment, Zhou Yi came in with medicine and hot water, muttering, "So many disasters and difficulties. It's thundering in broad daylight."

I lowered my head without responding.

When Lumingyin woke up, it was already 6 p.m.

Her voice was hoarse, "Water."

Before I could hand her the cup of water, the cup on the bedside table seemed to be lifted by the air and was brought to Lumingyin's bedside.

Lumingyin's expression was more terrified than mine.

With a startle, she suddenly sat up straight like a spring, screaming.

...

I helplessly closed my eyes.

Lumingyin stuttered, "Ayao, I saw... I saw a ghost!"

The cup beside the bed seemed to lose support and crashed to the ground with a bang.
