Chapter 226 Did Yan Yu bully you?

"Yes, yes, we're so lucky," one of the tomb raiders chimed in.

The others then joined in the laughter.

"Without further ado, let's go inside and have some fun," the tomb raider continued excitedly.

Seeing how eager he was, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"Then let's go in," Chen Jin said.

Anyway, he could tell that everyone was already itching to go and have fun.

So everyone happily agreed and went to the city.

There are many interesting things in Zhelong City, and they still retain ancient features. Moreover, the things here are well preserved; apart from being a bit dilapidated, they are basically intact.

It was much more upscale than the scattered small buildings they had seen before.

Shen Jin really liked these ancient buildings, so he started taking pictures with his camera as soon as he entered.

"Look at this," a tomb raider pointed out to the crowd after discovering a stone mill used by an ordinary household.

Everyone looked over, and Shen Jin took a few photos.

Afterwards, everyone continued playing, trying out everything new and interesting they came across.

After a long while, the group walked into a somewhat secluded alley. The alley was narrow and looked rather eerie.

The tomb raiders were very interested in this: "Why don't we go in and take a look?"

"No, no, isn't it nice to have some fun outside?" Shen Jin shook his head and quickly replied.

The alley was pitch black, and he had no idea what might be inside. Actually, he was quite timid.

"This place looks really exciting, who knows, maybe there are ghosts?" one of the tomb raiders joked with a smile.

Hearing the tomb raider say that, Shen Jin became even more determined not to go in.

Although he wasn't afraid, he just didn't want to go in.

"You all go ahead, I'll wait for you outside," Shen Jin said to the group after a moment's thought.

Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu replied almost without hesitation, "Then I'll accompany Shen Jin. You two go inside."

Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin paused slightly, glanced at Yan Yu, and said nothing.

Although it was a little awkward to be alone with Yan Yu, it was still better than being alone with him, otherwise he would have felt really guilty and scared.

Seeing their actions, the tomb raiders laughed mockingly.

"What are you doing, actually believing in ghosts? Let's all stick together, no one's going to escape," one of the tomb raiders said with a laugh.

After saying that, the tomb raider went straight up and grabbed Shen Jin and Yan Yu and took them inside.

The others followed suit, dragging and pulling the two people inside.

In the end, Shen Jin and Yan Yu had no choice but to be dragged into it by this group of people.

After walking for a while, the group was stopped by a rather old house.

The house was very old, and everything at the entrance was covered in dust. Several windows were rickety and covered with cobwebs.

"Why don't we go inside and take a look?" one of the tomb raiders suggested, showing great interest in the house.

Hearing his words, Shen Jin looked unwilling.

The man could tell that Shen Jin didn't want to go in, so he laughed even louder: "There's only one way to go, so you have to go in whether you want to or not."

After saying that, the man smiled and went inside first.

The others teased Shen Jin a bit before entering the house, while Shen Jin stared at them speechlessly.

"It's alright, I'll go in with you." Yan Yu took Shen Jin's hand and said to Shen Jin.

Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin looked up at him but remained silent.

Then, Yan Yu took Shen Jin's hand and walked inside.

He reached out and pushed open the door. The door was made of wood and creaked as he pushed it. Some spider webs fell off the door, and since Shen Jin was standing right below, a lot of dust fell and got into his eyes.

“Ugh…” Shen Jin immediately lowered his head and covered his eyes.

"What's wrong? Let me see." Yan Yu was instantly flustered and reached out to grab Shen Jin's hand.

Shen Jin's eyes were tightly closed, and he wanted to reach out and rub them.

"Dust got into my eyes," Shen Jin replied to Yan Yu in a muffled voice.

"Come out first, don't rub your eyes." Yan Yu grabbed Shen Jin's hand to stop him from rubbing his eyes.

Otherwise, the eyes can easily become infected.

Yan Yu helped Shen Jin to the door and looked down into Shen Jin's eyes in the light from outside.

"Open your eyes," Yan Yu said in a low voice, sounding somewhat nervous.

It's all his fault for being so careless; he didn't realize that such an old building would definitely have a lot of dust.

Listening to Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin tried to open the eye that was covered in dust.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Shen Jin immediately closed them again.

"No, I can't open my eyes..." Shen Jin said.

"It's okay, try again." Yan Yu said to Shen Jin, while rummaging through his backpack with one hand.

Shen Jin tried several more times, and every time he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but want to cry.

"It hurts so much, tears well up as soon as I open my eyes." Shen Jin closed his eyes again.

Yan Yu took out a cotton swab and a bottle of mineral water, and said to Shen Jin, "It's okay, you just need to let your tears wash away the dust."

Hearing Yan Yu say this, Shen Jin had no choice but to take a deep breath and try to open his eyes again.

This time, before Shen Jin could close his eyes again, Yan Yu pinched Shen Jin's eyelids, preventing him from closing them.

Soon, Shen Jin's eyes were stimulated to the point that physiological tears flowed.

Then, Yan Yu gently rinsed Chen Jin's eyes with water and used a cotton swab to remove some small pebbles stuck to his lower eyelashes.

"How are you feeling now?" Yan Yu asked nervously, putting down the water.

Shen Jin's eye was red. He blinked as he listened to Yan Yu's words, and seemed to think that nothing was wrong.

"It's alright," Shen Jin blinked a few more times before replying.

Hearing Shen Jin's reply, Yan Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That really scared him to death.

"It's good that you're alright," Yan Yu replied, still shaken.

Shen Jin forced a laugh and blinked his still somewhat uncomfortable eyes.

At this moment, Yan Yu stepped forward and took Shen Jin's hand: "Then let's hurry up and go in to find them, otherwise we'll get separated."

"Okay, sure." Shen Jin nodded in response.

Afterwards, the two continued into the dark house. Once inside, Yan Yu, worried that dust might get into Shen Jin's eyes again, held Shen Jin's hand with one hand and shielded Shen Jin's eyes with the other.

"There's no need for that," Shen Jin said with a hint of helplessness.

"It's alright, this makes me feel more at ease," Yan Yu quickly replied to Shen Jin.

Shen Jin didn't know what to say in response to Yan Yu's answer, so he could only sigh and helplessly go along with Yan Yu.

As the two were walking, someone suddenly patted Shen Jin on the shoulder. Shen Jin subconsciously turned around and saw a ferocious-looking face with green fangs.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!" Shen Jin screamed in fright and fell headfirst into Yan Yu's arms.

Yan Yu took the opportunity to hug Shen Jin tightly and rubbed Shen Jin's shoulders.

"What are you doing? Is it fun to scare people like this?" Yan Yu asked, looking at the person from before the New Year.

Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin was slightly taken aback.

Looking up, before I could even see who it was, I heard a familiar laugh.

The tomb raider laughed without any politeness, putting down the flashlight he was holding: "Hahaha, look how scared you are..."

Shen Jin looked at the tomb raider, so angry that he didn't want to say a word.

The tomb raider was still joking around. As he laughed, he shone a flashlight on his face and made a menacing face, which looked very frightening.

"Awooo! Give me back my life!" the tomb raider roared at Shen Jin.

Shen Jin: "..."

Yan Yu reached out and slapped him on the head, then snatched the flashlight from the tomb raider's hand: "Are you ever going to stop?"

The tomb raider laughed twice: "What are you doing? You just scared your wife. Look, I'm helping you. Ah Jin is so scared that he's hiding in your arms."

Upon hearing the tomb raider's words, Shen Jin finally realized what was happening, quickly got out of Yan Yu's arms, and coughed awkwardly twice.

Yan Yu's arm twitched slightly, and the sudden emptiness in his arms made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Alright, it's because you two haven't shown up for ages, so I came looking for you. Everyone's waiting, hurry up and go on over," the tomb raider said to the two.

After saying that, the tomb raider turned and led the way.

Shen Jin and Yan Yu followed silently. Shen Jin still felt a little embarrassed thinking about what had just happened.

Actually, it would have been fine before; the awkwardness would have passed quickly. But ever since that incident with Yan Yu, these two have been having these ambiguous situations all the time.

Every time this happens, Chen Jin is at a loss for what to do.

So the two of them followed the tomb raider all the way there, where the rest of the tomb raiders were waiting for them.

"What were you two doing for so long?" one of the tomb raiders asked.

Shen Jin pursed his lips and remained silent, as did Yan Yu.

Then, one of the tomb raiders noticed that one of Shen Jin's eyes was a little red and swollen, and couldn't help but frown: "What happened to your eye?"

Hearing the tomb raider's words, Shen Jin raised his eyes in confusion, blinked, and then remembered that dust had gotten into his eyes earlier.

"It's nothing," Shen Jin replied quickly.

"Did Yan Yu bully you?" the tomb raider couldn't help but joke.

Upon hearing his words, Shen Jin raised his eyes and glared at him, somewhat embarrassed. The tomb raider then burst into laughter.

"Alright, why do you always make fun of us?" Yan Yu also glared at Shen Jin, then smiled helplessly.

The tomb raider smiled and said, "Alright, alright, then we won't open it."

Afterwards, Shen Jin and Yan Yu continued walking with the others, until they left the house. They went to several other places to play, enjoying the beautiful scenery and feeling free.
