That evening, Lin Xun stayed at Su Qingshi's house.

The young couple behaved themselves in the room, because Su Mo would come over to visit from time to time, leaving them no time for intimacy.

However, Su Qingshi's face darkened every time Su Mo entered the room.

Lin Xun was also helpless; his brother-in-law was very wary of him.

"Um, oh right, Lin Xun, do you know how to fix light bulbs? My light bulb is broken." This time, Su Mo didn't push the door open; she just walked in.

Su Qingshi's icy gaze fell on him.

At this moment, Lin Xun said, "Brother, I don't know how to do that."

He knew the other party was trying to get rid of him and Sister Qingshi, but he wouldn't fall for it!

Su Mo narrowed his eyes: "It's okay if you don't know how to fix it. Just hold the ladder for me, and I'll fix it."

Just as Lin Xun was about to speak, Su Qingshi suddenly asked, "Are you very free?"

Su Mo instinctively shrank his neck. He glanced at his sister slyly and noticed that she was already a little angry, so he coughed awkwardly twice.

"Well, I didn't mean anything by it. You're all still in school, so there are some things you shouldn't try."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Lin Xun and Su Qingshi looked at each other in bewilderment.

Lin Xun: "Did he misunderstand something?"

Su Qingshi said calmly, "I think so."

Lin Xun glanced around and then quietly moved closer to Su Qingshi.

"What are you doing?"

Su Qingshi noticed his subtle actions and asked in a calm voice.

Lin Xun held her small hand: "I want to hold my girlfriend's hand."

Su Qingshi glanced at him but did not break free.

"Take a shower first."

Lin Xun's eyes lit up: "And then?"

Su Qingshi's cool gaze fell on him: "If you want to sleep with my brother, I will still agree."

Lin Xun promptly shut up: "I'm going to take a shower."

Just kidding, even if he slept on the floor in his senior's room, he wouldn't want to share a bed with his brother-in-law.

Each room in Su Qingshi's house has a bathroom, but because Lin Xun only brought clothes, he didn't have his own towel.

Su Qingshi was clearly aware of the problem and immediately said, "Let's go out and buy something."

Lin Xun nodded.

The two informed Yang Meihong and then went out.

There was a supermarket downstairs in the apartment complex, but the two of them tacitly avoided it and instead walked out of the complex.

"It takes quite a while to walk to the supermarket outside, so it seems this place isn't very convenient either." Lin Xun held his senior's hand and swayed as they walked.

"I chose this house because it's relatively quiet," Su Qingshi replied.

"Moreover, there's a pedestrian street and a night market right in front, so it's a pretty good location."

The two chatted casually along the way and soon arrived at the brightly lit bustling city center.

"Speaking of which, it's Christmas today, and it's quite lively." Lin Xun glanced at the entrance of a shop where two Christmas trees were displayed.

Several children gathered together to play.

Su Qingshi glanced at it but showed no interest; she wasn't in a very good mood tonight.

Lin Xun noticed this too, his eyes darted around, and then he chuckled, "Sister Qingshi, shall we go to the haunted house?"

Su Qingshi glanced at him in surprise: "Weren't you afraid of that thing?"

Lin Xun said seriously, "You're afraid, but you have to conquer it. Aren't you afraid?"

When asked the question later, Lin Xun deliberately lowered his voice.

Su Qingshi trembled slightly, but said disdainfully, "Afraid of ghosts? Didn't I go once before?"

Lin Xun shook his head: "The one we played last time was no good, it was too fake, there was no challenge at all."

Su Qingshi looked at him suspiciously: "Have you lost your mind?"

"Oh dear, let's go, let's go." Lin Xun didn't say much and pushed her along.

Haunted houses aren't only found in amusement parks; there's also one in a cultural street.

Looking at the giant skull on the storefront, Lin Xun pulled Su Qingshi inside with satisfaction.

After paying the admission fee and entering through a door, the atmosphere of the entire space became strange.

"Hmm, this ambient lighting is pretty good, it's quite realistic." Lin Xun looked around and nodded in satisfaction.

Su Qingshi didn't speak, but her body unconsciously leaned closer to Lin Xun.

Lin Xun also noticed this, and he was somewhat surprised: "Sister Qingshi is afraid of ghosts?"

But that's not right. They had been to a haunted house together before, and Su Qingshi's reaction at the time didn't show any fear.

Lin Xun was unaware that Su Qingshi had already changed. Since being with Lin Xun, she had developed a dependency on him and lacked a sense of security deep down. Having someone to rely on made her subconsciously seek comfort.

"Why don't we go outside?" Lin Xun said, feeling a little reluctant to let her go, worried that she might be scared.

Su Qingshi shook her head: "It's alright, the money has already been paid, let's go in and take a look."

Lin Xun nodded upon hearing this, "Okay."

The two ventured deeper into the haunted house, where several NPCs jumped out to scare them, but fortunately, Lin Xun reacted quickly and protected Su Qingshi behind him.

On the first few occasions, Su Qingshi's body was completely stiff. Once, she even cried out and threw herself into Lin Xun's arms, which made Lin Xun's protective instincts grow wildly.

At this moment, an NPC wielding a saw chased after the two. Lin Xun pulled Su Qingshi along, screaming as they fled, while Su Qingshi's fear had turned into excitement.

There are no ghosts at all. Although their acting is realistic, their costumes are more harmonious than those in the movie, and even a bit funny.

After leaving the haunted house, the two of them were sweating profusely.

"How about it? Are you scared now?" Lin Xun looked at her with a smile.

Su Qingshi looked puzzled: "How come you're not afraid? Didn't you say you were afraid of ghosts?"

Lin Xun blinked: "Really? I don't think I ever said I was afraid of ghosts?"

Su Qingshi sensed something was amiss. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Junior, if you pretend to be weak in front of me, I think you're courting death."

Lin Xun quickly hugged her: "No, my dear senior, why would I lie to you?"

Before they started dating, they went to a haunted house once. At that time, Su Qingshi acted too assertive, so much so that Lin Xun subconsciously wanted her to protect him.

Ghosts? Well, how could a "poor kid" like him possibly be afraid of them?

Su Qingshi gave a haughty snort, and as she turned her head away, her eyes suddenly lit up: "I want to eat that."

Lin Xun looked in the direction she pointed and saw that the stall clearly had a sign that read "Stinky Tofu".

"Sister Qingshi, didn't you not eat that stuff?" Lin Xun's eyes widened.

Su Qingshi looked at him innocently: "Really? I don't think I said that?"

Lin Xun: ...
