Chen Ge's directness surprised the lady on the phone—she did not expect a question like that.
"Are you a ghost?" Chen Ge repeated the question, and he sounded easy on the phone, like he was asking if a friend had eaten dinner yet.
The woman's breathing turned urgent, and she felt weirdly agitated. The line started to break up, and the signal suddenly worsened.
"I'll take that as a silent admission." Chen Ge leaned against the door with his phone on his ear. He looked like he was chatting with an old friend.
"I…" The woman wanted to say something but eventually held back. She could not understand how Chen Ge managed to make a ghost feel uncomfortable. Shouldn't a person's first reaction be screaming as the phone drops from their hands when they realize they are conversing with a ghost?
Even if you don't do that, at least end the call with shaking fingers! Why aren't you doing that but instead asking those questions?
