The mention of "Lu Sisi" caught Pei Xingcheng off guard. A momentary surprise flickered across his face before it melted into a warm smile. Observing this reaction, Miss Ghost, or Tang Zhixi, felt a pang of jealousy twist within her. She bit her lip, staring at him with a mix of confusion and resentment.
Why had he never mentioned Lu Sisi before while she was still alive?
"Xingcheng, who is Lu Sisi?" she probed, the unease palpable in her voice.
"My childhood friend," he replied, the fondness evident in his tone. "You know, we used to play together all the time. We were inseparable back then. She was my little tail, always following me wherever I went. But one day, something tragic happened in her family and they had to move abroad. I have never seen her since then..."
"Oh...." Tang Zhixi nodded slowly.
