Chapter 104.1 Romantic Night (1)
Guotai Theater.
Near twelve o’clock, the lights in the theatre were off. The audience had already left, and the heavy curtain had been pulled up, covering the stage. The seats underneath were all empty.
The whole theater was plunged into darkness, with not a glimmer of light. And since there was no one, it was particularly spacious and empty.
As soon as the clock hand pointed to twelve o’clock, the curtain in the theater suddenly moved. It slowly pulled open to both sides, little by little, and the second curtain also began to move up.
There was no one in the control room, yet the curtains moved by themselves. After they opened, the whole stage was exposed.
The next second, an angelic singing voice came from the empty stage. After listening carefully, they were the lyrics of Romance of the West Chamber.
There was a stage actress Xiao Zhou that had not left. In order to practice more, she had specially asked for the key and was about to leave.
Xiao Zhou was changing her clothes in the dressing room. As soon as she came out of the dressing room, she heard the vague singing coming from the stage.
Xiao Zhou was so dazed that she thought she was too tired and had misheard. She closed the dressing room door, turned on the flashlight on her cell phone, and walked over to the stage.
The more she approached, the clearer the singing was. Xiao Zhou had performed on the stage for several years, so she naturally recognized that the singer was skillful, and the voice was incredibly touching.
Xiao Zhou thought that the actor, like herself, wanted to stay and practice more, but it was strange that she had never heard of this voice before.
When Xiao Zhou walked to the edge of the stage, the singing came to an abrupt end.
Xiao Zhuo used the flashlight to illuminate the stage. “Who was there just now?” There was only an echo in the empty theatre and no answer.
She frowned at the opened curtains and wondered why this person did not answer.
Xiao Zhou took out the key, opened the control room door, manipulated the switch, and closed the curtains.
After doing all this, she locked the control room and went to the door. Before she reached the door, she suddenly thought about the person in the theatre. If she left, that person would be locked here.

Only she had borrowed the key. The other one was with the security guard.
“Hey, I’m leaving. Would you like to come with me?” Xiao Zhou shouted in the pitch-black air, but there was still no answer.
Wait! If there was only one key, how did that person get into the control room?
Xiao Zhou suddenly felt cold all over her body. Feeling the chill rising from the soles of her feet, she almost couldn’t move.
The next second, the unfamiliar singing voice came out of the closed curtain again.
“The moonlight dissolves the night; Spring’s lonely in the flowers’ shade. I bask in the bright moonlight; Wondering where is the lunar maid?…” It was the lyrics of Romance of West Chamber, and the singing voice was clear.
Xiao Zhou’s heart jumped wildly. She lifted her soft feet and rushed out of the entrance as fast as she could. There was still a singing voice behind her.
Since that day, Goutai Theater had been haunted by rumors. Not only had Xiao Zhou experienced it, but the other actors also encountered strange phenomena one after another.
Guotai Theatre was not far from Ye Sui’s house, but she didn’t have so much free time to check every haunted place.
Ye Sui was completely ignorant about the rumors of Guotai Theater. She took some time to make chocolates at home.
This was not just ordinary chocolate. Rather, it was filled with love for Chen Shu.
Ever since Ye Sui and Chen Shu were together, Ye Sui was very convinced of the strategies mentioned by those netizens. She felt that what she had done before must have affected him to some extent.
Ye Sui didn’t know that, in fact, no matter what she did, it would attract Chen Shu.
On the contrary, if it were another woman, Chen Shu would have turned a blind eye to it, even if that person had made a hundred love chocolates.
Ye Sui especially bought a super large heart mold. Half of it was for Chen Shu, and the other half was for her.
Ye Sui hummed a song while making the chocolate in the kitchen. A strong sweet smell pervaded the whole room.
Suddenly, there was a sound of something falling on the ground. Ye Sui kept her original movement. She just leaned over and took a glimpse.

It was the napkin on the tea table that fell on the ground. Ye Sui ignored it, thinking that she hadn’t put it away when she was drawing the paper just now.
Ye Sui continued to stir the chocolate, grounding it almost to the core. She took it out of the kitchen, where the table was already spread out with plastic wrap and a love mold on top.
Ye Sui carefully poured the chocolate into the mold, ready to sprinkle the chocolate with her favorite nuts she had bought earlier.
Yesterday, she had taken an indirect approach to ask Chen Shu, but he didn’t think about what he ate at all. Let alone nuts, he couldn’t even tell what he liked best.
Ye Sui couldn’t pry Chen Shu’s mouth open, so she could only choose according to her own preferences. She was certain Chen Shu would like what she liked.
Ye Sui sat patiently at the table, making two little hearts on the love-shaped chocolate.
While Ye Sui was decorating the chocolate, there was a sudden singing sound in the living room.
“The moonlight dissolves the night; Spring’s lonely in the flowers’ shade. I bask in the bright moonlight; Wondering where’s the lunar maid…”
Ye Sui’s action turned sluggish. She was so frightened that she dropped the nut she had picked up. It rolled all the way to the direction of the living room.
Anyone who heard a song in an empty room would be afraid.
Ye Sui remembered the lyrics very clearly. She had sung it on the variety show she recently participated in to frighten the stars.
When Ye Sui was in the bathroom at that time, she had seen a few words of the Romance of the West Chamber appear in the mirror. She used it during the shoot and sang the song.
However, she hadn’t expected to take the ghost home!
The singing continued. Ye Sui sat still in her original position as she stretched out her trembling hand to reach the mobile phone not far away.
Ye Sui dialed Chen Shu’s number. She would be able to build her courage once she heard his voice.
The bell rang for a second before Chen Shu picked up. “Ye Sui.”
When Chen Shu’s voice came from the other end of the phone, Ye Sui felt more at ease. “Chen Shu, I just wanted to hear your voice.”

Although Chen Shu was a little slow in terms of emotion, he immediately guessed her meaning. “What’s the matter? Are you afraid?”
What Chen Shu said in the next second completely reassured her.
“I went home early, and now I’m almost at the door.”
As soon as the voice fell, a sound came from the door. The door opened, but Chen Shu did not hang up the phone. Instead, he walked in with the call still connected.
Ye Sui immediately found that the singing in the living room had begun to change. The original graceful pleasant voice started trembling and finally forgot the lyrics.
She originally wanted to give the chocolate to Chen Shu as a present. Unexpectedly, however, he always came home early recently, so she couldn’t prepare a surprise for him.
Chen Shu hurried towards Ye Sui. He was about to ask what had just happened, but he was stunned when he saw the table with chocolate.
With Chen Shu in, Ye Sui was naturally not afraid. She cast off the “ghost thing” first, pointed to the chocolate on the table, and said, “I made it for you. Do you like it?”
Sure enough, Chen Shu immediately nodded.Yes.”
Chen Shu knew that Ye Sui had indirectly asked him about nuts last night. He didn’t like anything, in particular, so he couldn’t answer her.
“I like pistachios, and I like this one.” Chen Shu boasted about all the nuts on the chocolate.
Even so, Ye Sui was happy.
When Ye Sui put the chocolate in the refrigerator, she remembered that she seemed to have forgotten something. The scary singing ghost was still in her house.
Ye Sui went to the living room and found a female ghost in the clothes of the Republic of China standing in the corner of the living room.
When the female ghost saw Ye Sui’s eyes falling on her, her eyes lit up. “You really are a soulmate.”
It turned out that the female ghost was Gao Zhiyun, the owner of the haunted house. She had seen Ye Sui sing Romance of the West Chamber at that time and determined that she was an understanding friend. Hence, she found Ye Sui.
She didn’t think Ye Sui could really see her.

Ye Sui wondered about Gao Zhiyun’s purpose. “What do you want me to do for you?”
