The female voice was silent for a moment, and then responded, "Okay then." You close your eyes and listen to my instructions. ”

"Okay." Yao Jingjing immediately did so and closed her eyes. After a while, the female voice was heard, "Open your eyes and look at the sofa." ”

Yao Jingjing opened her eyes and looked at the sofa, and saw a woman in a white long-sleeved nightgown sitting on the sofa and smiling at her. The woman was about forty years old, with her hair coiled back and she looked dignified and elegant even though she was dressed in a dressing gown. If you look closely at the woman's face, isn't it the Ivanova in the oil painting!

Yao Jingjing stood up incredulously and moved to the sofa step by step with apprehension. She stretched out her right hand and tried to touch Ivanova's body, but Ivanova didn't move, just smiled at Yao Jingjing, who was getting closer.

It's the first time I've seen a ghost when I've grown so big, and it's clearly no different from humans!

When Yao Jingjing's hand touched Iva Nova's body, she was surprised, because Yao Jingjing thought that it would be like in the movie, the ghost's body was like air, and humans couldn't touch anything. But in fact, it is not, Yao Jingjing can feel the flesh under her hands, as well as the temperature, which makes her shocked, the ghost actually has a physical body, and the physical body still has temperature? This, how is this possible? But the touch under his hands is real, and Yao Jingjing knows that she is not dreaming.

"Are you really a ghost?" Yao Jingjing stared at Ivanova up close in disbelief, trying to find a flaw.

Ivanova laughed: "Of course I am a ghost, if I am not a ghost, how can I be ghostly, and I can speak Chinese, I have never been to China in my life, and after my death, I will suddenly speak various Chinese." ”

"It's amazing!"

"However, Jingjing, you must keep the matter of seeing me secret, and you can't tell anyone."

"Are you afraid that people won't believe me?"

"People will definitely not believe you, and they will think that you are mentally ill and will send you to a mental hospital."

Yao Jingjing suddenly realized, and hurriedly nodded in response: "Yes, yes, you are right, I can't say it." ”

Yao Jingjing sat next to Ivanova, still suspicious: "You said that only I can see you in this manor, and others really can't see you?" ”

"What am I lying to you about, so you call Vera and ask her to bring you a cup of coffee. If she saw me, she would be scared to death. You try. ”

Yao Jingjing was still a little unconvinced, so she called Vera and asked her to come over with a cup of coffee as instructed by Ivanova.

A moment later, Vera came knocking on the door.

"Come in."

Vera pushed open the door and placed her coffee on the table.

"Ma'am, the coffee you wanted."

At this time, Yao Jingjing was sitting next to Ivanova, and Vera looked at Yao Jingjing without looking at Ivanova at all.

Could it be that Vera really can't see Ivanova? Yao Jingjing was still a little skeptical.

"Uh, Vera, don't you think there's anything unusual about this house?" Yao Jingjing tried to remind Vera.

Vera looked around suspiciously, puzzled, "I didn't find anything unusual, ma'am, what do you mean?" ”

"Well, it's nothing, I just don't think it's warm enough in this room." Now it's certain that Vera really can't see Ivanova.

"Then I'll turn up the temperature in the house a little more."

"Good. I'm fine, you go back to your room and sleep. ”

When Vera left, Yao Jingjing was completely excited, she turned her head and grabbed Ivanova's arm, and sighed: "She really can't see you." ”

"Hehe, I'll just say, you are the only one in the whole manor who can see me."

"Oh my God, this is amazing. I actually have yin and yang eyes. Hahaha! Yao Jingjing was very happy, she had an extra skill for no reason, how could she not be happy.

As everyone knows, Vera outside the house did not walk away immediately, she put her ear on the door, heard the lady in the house laughing, and spoke Chinese, some doubts, and secretly wondered: Who is the lady talking to? So happy? Is it Madame's new friend? Are they using Chinese software to talk? It's been a long time since I've seen Madame so happy.

Vera didn't think much of it and left.

Since Yao Jingjing saw Vera's true body, it was like finding a confidant, and the two talked about everything, as if they were best friends. At first, Yao Jingjing slept during the day and chatted with Ivanova at night, and then as Ivanova's energy became more and more, now Ivanova can also appear during the day, so that the two of them chat during the day and the two of them lie in the same bed at night.

With Ivanova's company, Yao Jingjing was very happy, and she was not as lonely and lonely as before, and even left Sergei behind for a while.

Time passed, and soon entered 2018, and it was the Lunar New Year in 2018, which is the day of the Chinese, and for Yao Jingjing, who is in a foreign country, she misses her motherland and parents the most at this time. So, Yao Jingjing made a WeChat video call to her mother.

"Hey, Jingjing."

"Hey, Mom, Dad, you guys have a good New Year!" Seeing the smiling faces of her parents in front of the screen, Yao Jingjing was immediately relieved.

"Happy New Year. Jingjing, have you eaten? Yao's mother asked.

"Not yet, it's morning here, I'll have breakfast later. Mom, have you had Chinese New Year's Eve dinner? ”

"I'm eating, come, let me see." While talking about the mother, she turned the camera to the rear camera.

Looking at the delicacies on the table, Yao Jingjing looked envious, she really wanted to eat Chinese food, but she was embarrassed to go to the Chinese restaurant in Moscow alone, if Tan Lin was there before, she could still ask Tan Lin to go with her, but unfortunately Tan Lin also returned to China.

"I made ten dishes with your dad, all of them hard. Chickens, ducks, fish, shrimps, crabs, all of them. ”

"Mom, just you and my dad, why are you cooking so many dishes, you are not too tired to panic, and you can't finish eating, and you have to eat leftovers for a week in a row."

"New Year's Day, you have to have a New Year's flavor, our family has to cook more than a dozen dishes every New Year, although now there are only me and your father, but the ceremony is indispensable."

"You two are so energetic. Mom, I really want to eat your cooking! Yao Jingjing swallowed as she spoke.

"Alas, Jingjing, Mom also wants to cook for you. It's been almost three years since you got married, when can you go back to China to see me and your dad? ”

At the mention of this, Yao Jingjing's eyes couldn't help but dim, it was not up to her to decide when to return to China, she had to listen to Sergei for everything, and now that she was in a cold war with Sergei, it was even more impossible for her to open this mouth.

"Mom, I want to go back to China to see you too. However, I have only been married for three years, and Sergei and I can't open our mouths like this. ”

Yao's father and mother understand Yao Jingjing very well, after all, this old and young love was not equal from the beginning.

"Well, don't mention that. By the way, Jingjing, how are you and Sergei doing? ”

"Well, we're fine, it's still the same." Yao Jingjing could only try her best to hide it, in fact, she and Sergei had been separated for almost a year and a half.

"Jingjing, you're 33 years old this year, it's time to have a baby. You can't have a baby too late. ”

"This, let it be, it's not something you can have if you want to live."

"Could there be something wrong with Sergei, after all, he is so old."

"Well, I don't think so, he's in good health. Fitness every day. ”

"Let's take the time for you two to go to the hospital for a check-up. You've been married for three years, and it's supposed to be time to have children. ”

Yao Jingjing nodded perfunctorily and said, "I know, I'll go with him when I have time." ”

"Jingjing, you have to take good care of yourself over there, and if you miss your parents, just make a call."

"Mom, I'm not a child anymore, I'll take care of myself. Okay, Mom, you and my dad can continue to eat, and I won't talk. ”

"Okay, that's hanging."

After hanging up the phone, the smile on Yao Jingjing's face gradually faded, replaced by a melancholy.

"You miss your parents?" Ivanova, who was sitting on the side, asked.

"yes, I miss it. Today is our Chinese New Year, which is the biggest festival of the year, a day of joy for the whole family. In the past, every year during the Chinese New Year, my parents would buy goods for many years, cook a lot of delicious food, set off firecrackers, and eat dumplings together at night. Alas, I miss the old days. ”

Knowing that Yao Jingjing was homesick and missed her relatives, Ivanova was like a bosom sister, she hugged Yao Jingjing gently, and Yao Jingjing also hugged her back, and the two of them really had a sense of dependence on each other at this time.

"From now on, I will be your relative." Ivanova said.

"Hehe, okay, I remember the first time we chatted, you asked me if I called you Ivanova or your sister, and at that time I asked me to call you sister, I couldn't call it, but now, I really want to call you sister."

"Okay, then you'll call me sister from now on."

"Yes, sister. Let's go eat hot pot together at noon, I haven't eaten it for a long time, since my friend Tan Lin returned to China, I haven't eaten hot pot, I miss it so much. ”

"Okay, I'm fine."

At noon, Yao Jingjing, followed by two bodyguards, took a car to Liubrino and came to the Chongqing hot pot restaurant.

Yao Jingjing sat at one table by herself, and the two bodyguards sat at another table not far away. In the eyes of others, Yao Jingjing is her own table, but Yao Jingjing knows that she came with Ivanova, Ivanova is sitting opposite her at this time, Yao Jingjing also specially prepared dishes and chopsticks for Ivanova, although Ivanova can't use it.

"Sister, how are you going to eat?"

"We can't be like humans, we just smell and eat things."

"It's okay, haha! Sister, this hot pot is a major feature of our Chinese cuisine, you must try it, as long as you eat it once, I am sure you will fall in love with it. ”

Yao Jingjing sandwiched a lot of boiled mutton rolls, greens, and meatballs for Ivanova, and told her that she should dip them in sauce and eat them.

After Ivanova smelled the taste, she sighed: "This is the first time I have tasted this taste, it is quite special." ”

"As long as you eat hot pot, I haven't seen anyone I don't like to eat. Come, take another beer. Yao Jingjing picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with Ivanova's cup, raised her head and took a big sip, so happy.
