Chapter 115 We are all men, what are you afraid of?

Xuanzhe naturally had his youthful and frivolous moments, but he didn't quite understand why a grown-up like him would still be so obsessed with those little things.

Tang Weisheng and Yu Ze glared at each other, their seriousness mixed with a hint of unspeakable childishness.

"Hahaha." Tan Li stood up and laughed, pulling Tang Weisheng behind him. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, cracked out a cigarette and handed it to Yu Ze: "I never thought I would run into Mr. Yu here again."

Tan Li is not a heavy smoker, but businessmen attend many social occasions where many people smoke, so he always carries a pack of cigarettes with him and gives them away whenever he meets someone smoking.

Yu Ze glanced at Tan Li and took it politely, but when he touched his body, he found that there was no fire. Tan Li was about to provide full service when Tang Weisheng pulled him back. Tang Weisheng was very repulsive to people he didn't like. Yu Ze dared to say that SpongeBob was ugly, so the grudge was formed.

Yu Ze chuckled and planned to take the cigarette and put it in his pocket. It didn't matter if he lost face. Everyone present was a well-known figure in the circle. There was no need to confront them head-on. He would settle the matter with Tang Weisheng later.

Unexpectedly, a furry hand reached over, barely holding a plastic lighter. With a click, the flame lit up. Yu Ze didn't move, so Zhou Qing leaned in closer. The smell of low-quality e-liquid was palpable, but this step was a welcome relief, even though the characters were a bit comical. Yu Ze took two gentle puffs, a thin stream of smoke escaping. He mumbled, "Thank you."

As mentioned before, Zhou Qing's eyes are very unique. They are the kind that can leave a deep impression even through the mist and rain. Yu Ze, like Wen Shuang, also recognized him. Otherwise, Yu Ze would not accept the fire handed to him by a stranger. After all, they have had contact with this person before.

"I brought my brother out to play." Yu Ze then explained to Tan Li.

Tang Weisheng frowned and looked at Yu Cheng. He didn't find that the child looked like a member of the Yu family. Instead, Lei Wenxu asked, "Is your uncle still so skilled? The outside world doesn't know it."

Yu Ze didn't take it seriously: "Adopted."

It was a bit heartbreaking to say the word "adopt" in front of Yu Cheng. For this reason, Wen Shuang didn't think Yu Ze would really like this child. If nothing unexpected happened, he must have heard their conversation yesterday and used this as an excuse to "encounter" him at the amusement park. What was his purpose?

As soon as the muscles on Wen Shuang's shoulders tensed, Xuan Zhe put his hand on them and gently kneaded them twice, with the power to dispel all uneasiness. No matter what Yu Ze was planning, Xuan Zhe was not afraid at all.

Yu Cheng kept staring at Zhou Qing, or to be more precise, at the doll costume. It was quite normal, and all children liked it.

Yu Ze put one hand in his pocket, holding the cigarette holder, and spoke unclearly: "Mr. Zhou, can you play with my brother for a while?"

Zhou Qing was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting Yu Ze to recognize him. He nodded: "Of course."

Yu Cheng smiled, rushed forward and hugged the doll's thighs, which seemed sincere. Wen Shuang felt a little sad and bought him a lollipop from the snack cart nearby. Yu Cheng didn't take it at first, but only took it carefully in his hand and said "thank you" after Yu Ze nodded.

The two Yuze brothers were inexplicably added to the play group.

Tang Weisheng and Yu Ze felt a little uncomfortable after their little show. In President Xuan's words, they "ran into embarrassment". They stood at the edge, one on the left and the other on the right. After finishing most of the exciting activities, the last group of people stopped in front of the haunted house.

This haunted house is quite famous and has been on the recommendation list of some classic programs. The sound effects are realistic, the scares are sudden, and there are even ghost scenes. Xuanzhe and Lei Wenxu are definitely not afraid. Wen Shuang is also okay and is more excited. It is hard to tell whether the others like it.

"Let's go in!" Wen Shuang called everyone.

Xuanzhe just wanted to make the little quail happy: "Okay."

He had already spoken, and the atmosphere began to become tense. Tan Li lowered his head and asked Tang Weisheng, "Are you afraid?"

Tang Weisheng looked impatient, but he glanced around: "What's there to be afraid of?"

Yu Ze was clearly still resentful of Tang Weisheng's comment that the "Lard Noodles" were unpalatable, so he said with a smile, "Mr. Tang, don't force yourself. It's normal for men to be afraid of ghosts."

Tang Weisheng's face turned cold: "I'm afraid of you..."

Tan Li pushed the person into his arms, blocking the second half of the sentence, and looked at Yu Ze helplessly: "Mr. Yu, don't provoke this person of mine." In fact, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes, revealing some warning.

Yu Ze didn't respond, but Wen Shuang felt that Yu Cheng, a child, should not go in, so as not to leave any psychological trauma. Unexpectedly, Yu Cheng himself was very interested. If Yu Ze hadn't nodded, he would have been the first to lead the charge.

Wen Shuang looked at Yu Ze: "Is it okay?"

"Children are not as fragile as you think." Yu Ze continued. Especially living in the Yu family, he added in his heart that Yu Ze did not have the habit of protecting a child's beautiful worldview. On the contrary, he felt that accepting some extreme things from an early age would help them grow quickly. As for what they would look like in the end, it all depended on themselves.

Yu Ze never realized that he was a little abnormal. When a person is centered on his own values, the abnormal person becomes someone else.

Yu Ze agreed to let Yu Cheng in, and then no one expected that Zhou Qing took off his hood and bought a ticket at the window next to him. He held Yu Cheng's hand, and his meaning was very clear.

Zhou Qing's hair was a little messy. Although it was a cold winter, he was still covered in sweat under the heavy hood. He did not take off the doll clothes, as if he felt that the child would not be afraid if he accompanied Yu Cheng in this way. Zhou Qing left Yu Ze with a fair profile, like a handful of first snow on the jade steps in winter, not only beautiful, but also cold.

Yu Ze realized it later and detected a hint of disapproval in the gloomy air.

But he still didn't care.

Yu Cheng, holding the doll, was even bolder. He walked in through a doorway with a bloody palm print on it, his eyes shining with curiosity. He even dared to touch a model of a severed finger. Then he turned around and whispered to Zhou Qing, "This is fake. Don't be afraid."

Zhou Qing smiled and replied, "I'm not afraid."

Wen Shuang held Xuanzhe's hand tightly, and looked at Tang Weisheng's face from time to time, "Are you okay?"

"I..." Tang Weisheng snorted coldly, glancing at Yu Feng who was practically moving forward, and said confidently, "I'm fine!"

Just as he finished speaking, he felt like he stepped on a bump. Tang Weisheng was wondering when a skeleton fell down upside down, with its mouth wide open and its eyes like black holes just meeting Tang Weisheng's. The playful look on the young man's face had not yet faded, but he seemed to be frozen.

Lei Wenxu reacted quickly, immediately covering Yu Feng's sight and leading him forward past the skeletons. "It's okay, it's okay."

In fact, Mr. Lei is very happy.

This is a rare opportunity to get close to Yu Feng in front of everyone.

Yu Feng is stubborn, shy, a little bit chauvinistic, values ​​so-called dignity more than anything else, and is not used to being too close to Lei Wenxu in public.

Wen Shuang was also frightened by the skeleton, but fortunately she was holding Xuan Zhe's hand. How to describe it? It was like taking a tranquilizer. The harm of these mysterious things was greatly reduced. But Wen Shuang found that Tang Weisheng was petrified.

"Weisheng." Wen Shuang waved her hand in front of the young man, but there was no reaction at all.

Xuanzhe sighed, "He's so scared that he's almost out of his mind. Tan Li, take him out to absorb some spiritual energy from heaven and earth."

Still no response...

Under normal circumstances, Tang Weisheng would have started to argue. When Tan Li saw that something was wrong, he quickly pulled the man out of the haunted house.

As soon as he stood in the sunlight, Tang Weisheng felt like he could turn into a wisp of white smoke. He recovered a little, turned his head and looked at Tan Li blankly, "Did I embarrass you?"

Tan Li didn't smile much, but kept warming Tang Weisheng's cold hands. After a moment, he said, "If you're afraid or don't like it, just say it. I'll never be ashamed of you. No matter what you do, you only make me sad. The doctor said that emotional fluctuations are taboo."

"How long have I been discharged from the hospital?" Tang Weisheng was not convinced. He always felt that Tan Li treated him as a glass man, but his legs were so stiff when he walked to the stool.

Tang Weisheng had never worn a watch before, but now he wears one every day to hide a certain scar. What he didn't know was that Tan Li had to touch that scar several times every night before he could fall asleep.

By the time they reached the middle of the line, Yu Feng was so frightened that he dared not open his eyes. He relied entirely on Lei Wenxu to lead the way. Wen Shuang was always alertly observing the surroundings, ready to dive into Mr. Xuan's arms if there was any sign of trouble. After all, the ceiling was hanging!

Xuan Zhe was a little impatient, not towards Wen Shuang, but towards the system.

This bastard is opening up his Ren and Du meridians more and more. It's empathy for eating, and now he's even empathizing with playing in a haunted house. The electronic sound of "ah" never stops along the way, and he's startled. Fortunately, Yu Feng can't hear it, otherwise he would go crazy.

Zhou Qing and Yu Ze always walked in front.

Suddenly, Wen Shuang heard Zhou Qing say "hmm", and the sound of some mechanism being triggered made the wall behind him suddenly empty. Zhou Qing couldn't help but fall inside, but his hands were not idle. He pushed Yu Cheng out of the dangerous area. The situation suddenly happened. Seeing that the mechanism door like a boulder turned a circle and was about to close, Yu Ze's eyes narrowed. He glanced at Yu Cheng who had been caught by Wen Shuang, turned around and followed Zhou Qing in.

"Bang—" The door closed again, and Wen Shuang's voice came faintly, "Zhou Qing, are you okay?"

"It's okay!" Zhou Qing tried hard to see everything around him, but it was all in vain.

"It's a secret room. We should be able to get out once we crack it." Yu Ze added, "Please take my brother with you first."

Wen Shuang: "Okay!"

After a long silence, Yu Ze spoke first: "Mr. Zhou, could you please stand up? Of course you're not heavy, but this doll prop is a little uncomfortable for me."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Zhou Qing seemed to have just reacted. The doll was heavy and its joints were clamped. He first rolled off Yu Ze, then stood up little by little by holding on to the ground.

At this time, Yu Ze had already turned on the lighting props provided by the haunted house. It was just a little blue light, and the area that could illuminate was no larger than a palm. He searched the wall carefully and found the clues. They were all missing a radical, which was a common technique used in escape rooms.

Yu Ze pressed the words on the door mechanism according to his own guess, and the door that was originally sealed next to him suddenly opened.

The prop door was narrow and low, and Zhou Qing could not pass through it successfully even if he bent down as much as possible. Yu Ze took two steps forward, but perhaps he did not hear the person behind him catching up, so he turned back.

"Sorry." The room was empty, and Zhou Qing's voice was tinged with a certain clarity and clarity that stood out against the oppressive darkness. It made Yu Ze's ears itch. He said, "It's stuck."

Yu Ze: “Take it off.”

"Um"

"Take off the doll props on you, deflate them and fold them up."

"Okay." Although Zhou Qing responded, the zipper of the costume was at the back and he couldn't reach it at all.

Yu Ze seemed to understand everything. He squeezed in, groped Zhou Qing's arm, then made him turn his back to him and quickly found the zipper.

The slight noise was amplified little by little in the darkness. The prop costume was pulled off from the shoulders by a hand. During the movement, Yu Ze touched Zhou Qing's neck. It was delicate, warm, and slightly sweaty, like a piece of jade fished out of a hot spring. Although everything was dark, Yu Ze imagined a kind of luster.

Zhou Qingze shrank back unnaturally.

Yu Ze suddenly stopped what he was doing and asked softly, "We are all men, what are you afraid of?"
