Chapter 4 - HISTORY BEHIND YUEHUA 1

After freshening up,Luo Xinyi got out of his room to see a handsome man who looked to be in his early twenties sitting in front of room 1206 holding a drawing book. When Luo Xinyi came out, the man stopped drawing and looked up, staring at Xinyi. 'He has pretty blue eyes'. Xinyi thought.. "Do you always stare at people this long?" Xinyi asked. "Only pretty men"the man said with a straight face and a flat tone. Xinyi rolled his eyes but decided to introduce himself. "I am Luo Xinyi,you?" "Ming Zeren," the man replied. "Uh Ming Zeren,do you live in room 1206?" Luo Xinyi Asked.

"Yes"

"Did you see a shadowy woman in this corridor yesternight?" Luo Xinyi Asked. Ming Zeren looked up sharply at Xinyi. "What else did you see?" Zeren Asked."My reflection transformed into a woman and asked me 'am I beautiful?" 

"What did you say?" Zeren asked

"Bro,I ran out screaming" xinyi continued,"This morning I woke up to see the exact words on my door. that was creepy as fuck"

" Congratulations on meeting your first ever ghost"

Xinyi glared at him. " Really bro? I am being serious!"

" I am also serious. What did you expect huh? Your room is haunted, no in fact the whole building is haunted and messed up" Zeren said.

"I don't believe in such nonsense" Xinyi said

"Then explain what you saw scientifically? If you don't believe it, that's on you. But if you are not prepared….you die. This apartment is like a survival game. You know how many people died and disappeared in this place?"

"no" Xinyi said, and continued "how do you know all his? How long have you been living on the 12th floor?" Xinyi asked and Zeren shrug.

" What is that supposed to mean?" Xinyi asked. "One day...…. if you are still alive, I will tell you my story "Zeren replied. Xinyi scoffed " why does everyone think being mysterious is hot " Xinyi said which Zeren ignored and went back to his drawing.

 "What are you drawing? "Xinyi asked, and Zeren didn't respond. He kept drawing. Xinyi sat beside Zeren and looked at his drawing. "Why are you drawing a long corridor?"

"You will find out one day,"Zeren responded.

"Can you give a straight answer for once?" Again zeren ignored him and concentrated on his drawing. Xinyi feeling wronged left zeren and decided to go and buy food since he had no plans of cooking…. He can't cook to save his life.

On his way downstairs, he saw an old man putting trash in the bin on the third floor. Deciding to talk to the old man and praying he had no ,loose screws like Zeren, he approached the old man. 

"Good day sir, please how may I address you?"

"Han…Mr. Han" the old man replied. " Mr. Han… how long have you been living here?"Xinyi asked. Mr. Han narrowed his eyes at Xinyi, making him wonder if he said something wrong.

" Why do you ask? Are you one of those idiot reporters who have nothing to do with their life's?" Mr' Han suspiciously asked. "What?! I am new here, I live on the 12th floor and just want to know about the building. I am no reporter." Xinyi replied, offended.

Mr. Han started hard at Xinyi for a minute before asking .."What do you want to know?" "Anything about this building" " It was built in the early 90s and was named Yuehua Apartment."

"I know that old man. I need new information,"Xinyi said in frustrated.

"What have you heard?"

"Some supernatural shit"

Mr. Han nodded "There are indeed supernatural …things at play here but it wasn't like that from the beginning. This building wasn't built to house normal people,it was just facade"
