Jiangli was standing in the passageway of the main hall, watching them walk in.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that little ghost in the courtyard. Upon seeing Xu Yang and Liu Rongrong, he immediately clung to them, still with a hint of bewilderment in his eyes, seemingly oblivious to who they were.
But the moment he neared them, he smiled and leapt joyfully, "Daddy, Mommy..."
As he approached Xu Yang and Liu Rongrong, he suddenly passed right through them, lunging at thin air.
The little ghost toppled to the ground, then quickly sat up. He seemed dazed from the fall, unaware of what had happened; he looked at his hands and then, as if realizing something, burst into tears with a loud wail.
But no one but Jiangli could hear his crying shouts.
