Chapter 6

I enjoyed my days working at the beauty salon. Senior Sister took good care of me, and I even had a colleague there who was a classmate from high school named Xiao Lin.

While changing in the locker room after work, I asked Xiao Lin, “Hey, are Senior Sister and Senior Brother married?”

“Of course!” Xiao Lin replied. “They were the most popular couple back in school-a match made in heaven. They’re perfect for each other!”

She looked at me. “Oh, right, I remember Senior Sister sent you an invitation to her engagement party back then. Why didn’t you go?”

I averted my gaze and forced a smile. “I just happened to have something else going on that day.”

As we were talking, Senior Sister suddenly appeared at the door. She had arrived so silently that she gave us both a start.

Senior Sister was beautiful and had a great figure; she had been our school’s belle back in high school.

She smiled as she spoke to us, but her eyes remained fixed on me.

“Off work?” she asked. “I’m just about to head back myself. I drove today-want a lift?”

“Thanks, Senior Sister, but my boyfriend is picking me up today,” Xiao Lin said. Just then, her phone chimed.

She glanced at it and waved hurriedly. “Ah, he’s rushing me. I’ll head out first!”

After Xiao Lin left, it was just me and Senior Sister in the locker room.

I felt like there was something strange about her, though I couldn’t quite put my finger on it.

Senior Sister looked at me and said, “Ling Ling, where do you live? I’ll drop you off.”

“Sure,” I replied. “I live at Yunding Garden on XX Road.”

Upon hearing this, Senior Sister’s expression changed instantly. A look of unexpected terror flashed in her eyes.

I hesitated for a moment before asking softly, “Senior Sister, what’s wrong?”

She snapped out of it and forced a quick smile, her tone light. “It’s nothing. I just remembered I have something else to take care of, so I might not be able to drive you after all. Maybe another day?”

“Alright.”

After she left, I sighed quietly. I knew she had reacted that way because of the name of the residential complex.

Did she also know that I was living in a Columbarium?

Most people would consider it bad luck to be anywhere near a place like that. Her reaction was understandable.
