Chapter 1: A Living Soul? (2)
“Xiaxin? Xiaxing? Our name seems to be kinda related.” Chu Xiaxing murmured, “Chu Xiaxin, Chu Xiaxin…”
When Chu Xiaxing called out the name of the blue living soul, it was like fleeting fireworks, completely disappearing in the air. There was no way back.
“Thank you for calling my name.”
This was the last word of the blue soul before it drifted away, making Chu Xiaxing feel upset.
She hovered in midair for a long time, then caught up with other dead souls and returned to the army.
Chu Xiaxing felt like she had a long dream. In the dream, she was a shapeless golden-white soul. She collided with the blue soul in the midair, forcing the other party to return to the original body. She finally looked at it with regret.
“Chu Xiaxin(xing)! Chu Xiaxin(xing)! Wake up!
“You really can give me trouble…”
“Are you crazy? If you want to die, don’t die here!”
“Chu Xiaxin(xing)—”
Chu Xiaxing was finally awakened by a violent scolding. She opened her eyes irritably and thought who dared to call herself by her first name and surname. However, she found herself lying in a bathtub with a limp body. She was in a closed bathroom, and the person beside her was not her niece Han Chuning. Instead, it was a plain-looking strange woman.
When Manager Xiao Cheng saw the other party wake up, she was relieved before she started swearing, “Chu Xiaxin(xing)! What’s wrong with you? Afraid that the news is not big enough, you have to cut your wrists now!?
“I’m telling you, don’t engage in this kind of little girl’s routine. You still lie in the bathtub and shed tears over the changes of seasons. The success rate of suicide by cutting the wrist is only 20%. Instead, it causes disability…”
Chu Xiaxing lifted up her white wrist in a daze. She saw the scars left by several wounds that had coagulated and stopped bleeding. Chu Xiaxin said that she was afraid of pain. When she chatted about cutting her wrist, she was once educated by Chu Xiaxing.
Although Chu Xiaxin had not cut her wrist successfully, she still disappeared because of the long separation of body and soul.
Chu Xiaxing recalled the blue soul. Facing the unexpected and unfamiliar situation, she hadn’t fully recovered yet.
“Chu Xiaxin(xing), are you listening to me!” When Xiao Cheng, the manager, saw that she was expressionless, she reminded her impatiently.
“Chu Xiaxing(xin).” Under the constant yells, Chu Xiaxing felt a headache. She subconsciously wanted to rub her temples, but she was also conscious of the wounds on her wrists. In the end, Chu Xiaxing could only take a deep breath. She seemed to be aware of the strange things that had happened to her. There were not many little girls in the world who had the same name as her and had cut their wrists.
Manager Xiao Cheng was taken aback. “What?”
Chu Xiaxing raised her eyebrows, squinted at her, and said faintly, “Chu Xiaxing(xin), it is the character of core, not star. Do you have no distinction between the front and back nasal sounds?”
As the strange woman couldn’t pronounce it at first, Chu Xiaxing mistakenly thought that someone was calling herself. She felt that this matter was outrageous. No one called the Soul Chu Xiaxin back but had inexplicably called herself over.
Chu Xiaxing was now suffering from an occupational disease. She was not used to listening to the wrong pronunciation and felt uncomfortable. Even in the age of dubbing, she still reprimanded actors for forgetting words on the spot, let alone mispronunciation.
Chu Xiaxing: The Soul had gone cold, yet you still couldn’t call the name right!”
" "Xiao Cheng was stumped by the other party’s words. She immediately became angry and said, “Chu Xiaxin(xing), isn’t it enough!?”
Considering that this was not her studio, Chu Xiaxing gave in and said, “Forget it. You don’t seem to be able to make this sound, so don’t force it…”
“Not answering the phone for five to six hours, you only know how to fool around. If you want to die, then go die. I also don’t want to care about you, but don’t die in the house rented by the company! It’s bad luck!” Manager Xiao Cheng was almost angered to death by the other party. She had a normal relationship with Chu Xiaxin. At first, she was really afraid that the artist would die in the bathtub. Now that she had regained her spirit and talked back, Manager Xiao Cheng suddenly returned to her old self.
Manager Xiao threw the portfolio in her hand on the table. She didn’t want to deal with Chu Xiaxin, who was now embroiled in a scandal, and slammed the door shut and left.
Chu Xiaxing crawled out of the bathtub in a daze. Although the wound on her wrist was scabby, the blood loss was real. She didn’t want to ask for help from strange women with an attitude. Besides, she didn’t understand the situation around Chu Xiaxin, either.
Chu Xiaxing would only ask for help from her most trusted person. She searched around the cramped room, found Chu Xiaxin’s mobile phone, and dialed the phone number she had memorized. She then heard Han Chuning’s familiar and low voice.
“Hello.” Han Chuning was busy with the funeral of Chu Xiaxing recently. She was in a bad mood, and her voice was hoarse.
Chu Xiaxing calmly said, “Hey, Ningning, I am your aunt. Quickly call a car to pick me up. I am at…”
Chu Xiaxing looked around hesitantly. She didn’t know where this place was. Thus, she was at a loss for a moment. “I don’t know where I am. I’ll send you my position once I know it. You can bring a stir-fried pork liver, with lily leaf… Do not make it spicy; it’s not conducive to healing wounds.”
“…” Han Chuning listened to the strange girl’s voice on the phone. When the other party claimed to be Chu Xiaxing, she was dumbfounded. She felt a little overwhelmed for a while, feeling the deep malice in life.
Han Chuning: I am mourning for my elder here, but someone shamelessly tells me shit stories!
Chu Xiaxing stared at her wrist injury and continued to mutter, “By the way, you will take me to the hospital in a while. I don’t know if there’s any infection…”
Han Chuning thought that the other party was sick in her head. Everyone knew that her aunt had just left, yet there were people who dared to do something so improper. Displeased, she said, “I don’t know what kind of mentality you have, but I think your behavior is quite bad. It’s a hell of a sick joke!”
Han Chuning: My aunt is gone, but you still come to play tricks!
The next second, Han Chuning resolutely hung up the phone. She had always been self-restrained not to swear and had no intention to entangle with the other party.
This was the first time Chu Xiaxing was hung up by her niece, so she was also a little dazed: “?”
This little girl’s rebellious period came suddenly?
Chu Xiaxing angrily called back. She was rarely disobeyed by the younger generation and scolded, “Who told you that people can’t see ghosts? Ain’t I asking you to come here to let you know!”
Han Chuning: “…”
