Chen Family An Ruxin stood at the door of Chen Anran’s home, hesitated only briefly, and then knocked. A small doubt lingered in her heart: after all these years, could the family have moved? If so, that would complicate things... But regardless, she still had to come and investigate. Just as An Ruxin was deep in thought, the door opened. The woman who answered looked to be around fifty, maybe younger, but she seemed exhausted. Her hair was streaked with white, making her appear older than she…- 37.6 K • Completed
- The Note An Ruxin opened the notebook. It seemed to be Chen Anran’s diary… Inside, it was filled with messy scribbles about everyday things, most of them related to school life. It was written casually, without specific dates—more like random doodles than an actual diary. Skimming through it, one could tell Chen Anran seemed to be a pretty optimistic girl. Her life appeared to go smoothly, and she seemed happy every day. What caught An Ruxin’s attention even more was that Chen Anran had…

- Interrogation Driven by the doubts that had long festered in her heart, An Ruxin finally slipped Chen Anran’s diary into her handbag, left the bedroom, and forced herself to bid farewell to Aunt Chen with a façade of calm. She had no idea how she managed to walk out the door. Once outside, the apartment across the hall should be the one where Bai Miaoqing had lived with her parents as a child. With Bai Miaoqing’s home before her and Chen Anran’s home behind, An Ruxin stood in the hallway as if…

- Memory “The day Chen Anran died, there were no ghosts at the reservoir.” Bai Miaoqing couldn’t understand what An Ruxin meant. There were ghosts. She wasn’t lying. There were ghosts. Ghosts are real. “…Then it’s just a made-up story that happened to match reality.” Bai Miaoqing heard her own voice. An Ruxin seemed to scoff coldly: “…Don’t you think that sounds ridiculous?” “Ghosts are real.” Bai Miaoqing realized An Ruxin doubted her because she hadn’t yet understood…

- Wavering An Ruxin listened to Bai Miaoqing recount the entire story with an almost expressionless, numb face. Bai Miaoqing took a deep breath and looked at her seriously. “The ghost is real. That part is the truth. I said Chen Anran’s wish came true because, when I was a freshman in high school, there was a boy in her middle school class who was close to her. He drowned while swimming in a wild river. That boy must have been the one Chen Anran liked… If you don’t believe me, the newspaper…

- Dilemma A classroom… submerged in the dark green water… Floating hair… the back of a girl… She turned around. It was Chen Anran’s face. She smiled at An Ruxin—a sweet, gentle smile. And for the first time, An Ruxin didn't hear her through a recording. She truly heard Chen Anran’s voice: “You’ve missed me all this time, haven’t you?” “W-What…” “I’ve missed you too…” “……” “I’m already dead, so even though we miss each other, we can never be…

- Reservoir 1 A new day. An Ruxin stood at the door of the hotel room and knocked, unhurriedly and steadily. Before coming here to face Bai Miaoqing, she had thought for a long, long time—and finally arrived at her own answer. Yet this answer startled even An Ruxin herself. At first glance, it seemed bizarre. But the more she forced herself to think through the shock, the more reasonable it became—so much so that it felt like everything had returned to its proper place, every cog fitting perfectly…

- Reservoir 2 “Before Chen Anran died, during the exploration, she already told you about that matter. You just didn’t realize it.” “……” “Nothing to say, Miaoqing?” “...I think I get what you mean now, Ruxin.” Bai Miaoqing turned her head slightly, revealing a smile—or rather, a sarcastic sneer, like some deep form of self-mockery. “You’re trying to say that the reason Chen Anran asked me to come to the reservoir with her that day was to tell me she had a crush on someone...…

- Reservoir 3 That note was never meant to arrange a meeting. “It’s obvious, really—once you think about it, it all makes sense.” An Ruxin’s fingers brushed across the diary’s pages. “You two lived right across the hall, not in school. Chen Anran could knock on your door at any time and ask to meet—there was no need to write a note. See, Miaoqing, the question comes back—why did this note exist? Why did she want to give it to you? Connecting it with the diary’s line, ‘It’s the same…

- “Secret Crush” Bai Miaoqing lifted her head. The sky was dazzlingly bright—so bright it seemed like it might catch fire. She felt like a statue, frozen in place. Bai Miaoqing murmured over and over: I… I never loved her… Ah, yes. An Ruxin was right. Her thoughts drifted hazily—Chen Anran, I admired her, felt grateful to her, envied her, later feared her, resented her… but I never loved her… Ghosts aren’t real…? Chen Anran liked me…? What a joke… how could that be possible……
