The hotel building is not directly next to the forest, but is surrounded by a protective wall with a garden and lake in the middle. Plus, there are security patrols 24 hours a day, so it shouldn't be that easy for small animals to get close to the building.

Shen Xin thought it was just the wind outside the window, but when she got closer, she could hear someone talking. She simply opened the window and stuck her head out. Ye Zhiyou saw her move and shouted at her on the other end of the video: "Shen Xin, why are you sticking your head out? Do you have any sense of safety?"

Shen Xin turned around to look at him and closed the window: "There seems to be someone outside. It sounds like the three high school girls in our group. I'll go out and take a look."

Ye Zhiyou said: "Then bring your computer with you."

"..." Shen Xin was speechless for a moment, "What's the point of wearing it? Can you get out of it if you encounter danger?"

Ye Zhiyou: “…”

Shen Xin didn't take her computer, but took her cell phone with her and went out. She went around to the back of her room, turned on the flashlight on her cell phone, and shone it in the direction of the sound: "Zheng Xiyan? Liu H? Huang Jingt? Is that you?"

The subtle arguing that was audible before was no longer audible after Shen Xin spoke. Following the footsteps of @ coming from inside, Shen Xin raised his phone slightly and saw Zheng Xiyan walking out of there: "Guide Shen, good evening."

Zheng Xiyan smiled and greeted Shen Xin. Shen Xin was still holding a flashlight, shining it on Liu H who walked out from behind her: "What are you doing here so late? Didn't I tell you to stay in your room as much as possible at night?"

Liu H said: "We just thought the hotel garden was pretty, so we came here to take some photos, and we didn't leave the hotel."

"Yes." Zheng Xiyan still echoed Liu H, "If you feel unsafe, let's go back now."

The two of them walked back while talking. Shen Xin turned back to look at them and asked, "Where's Huang Jingt?"

Zheng Xiyan said, "Let's take pictures there. She will come back after she finishes."

They didn't seem to care about Huang Jingt's whereabouts at all, but as a tour guide, Shen Xin couldn't help but ignore it. She walked a few steps inside and saw a figure sitting on a stone bench. It looked like Huang Jingt: "Huang Jingt?"

Shen Xin walked over, and Huang Jingt didn't even look up, just sitting there holding her phone. Shen Xin bent down, looked at her and said, "Why are you still sitting here? It's cold outside, go back to your room early."

Huang Jing lowered her head and didn't answer. Shen Xin thought she didn't want to talk, and was about to pull her up from the stool, but she heard her say in a low voice: "I don't want to go back to the room."

Shen Xin was stunned for a moment and asked her, "Why? Did you have a conflict with Zheng Xiyan and the others?"

Huang Jingt stopped talking again. Shen Xin stood beside her and asked her patiently, "Why did you come here just now? I know it was Zheng Xiyan and the others who smoked last time. Did they smoke secretly again just now?"

Huang Jing was stunned for a moment before she said, "No, you confiscated the cigarettes and we didn't buy any more."

Shen Xin continued to guide: "Then what are you doing here? Huang Jingt, don't cover up for them. If something like last time happens again, I will have to inform your parents."

Hearing that the parents would be notified again, Huang Jingt spoke hesitantly: "We really didn't do anything bad just now, it's just that they stole my phone and I chased them out to get my phone back."

Shen Xin felt that she had finally found a breakthrough, and continued to ask her patiently: "Why did they steal your phone?"

Huang Jing pursed her lips slightly, seeming reluctant to answer, but after a while, she still spoke: "They wanted to steal my phone to send a message to Fu Chenwei."

The name Fu Chenwei sounded familiar to Shen Xin. After thinking for a while, she remembered that Zheng Xiyan had mentioned this name last time: "Fu Chenwei? Is he your school idol?"

"Yeah." Huang Jing nodded, and Shen Xin noticed that her ears were a little red.

Shen Xin did not continue to ask about the campus love story of the boy and girl, but focused on the relationship between Huang Jingt and the other three: "Do they often do this? Aren't you friends? Why do they do this?"

This time, Huang Jingt was silent for even longer than last time, so long that she thought she wouldn't answer at all. But Huang Jingt spoke in a low voice: "Zheng Xiyan was not like this before."

Shen Xin asked: "Have you known each other for a long time?"

"Yeah." Huang Jing nodded. "I've known her since elementary school. We've always had a good relationship and she's my best friend. Later...something happened in her family and her personality changed. She made new friends, but she's the only good friend I have."

After Shen Xin heard her finish, she asked her, "Have you told your parents about these things?"

Huang Jing shook her head: "My parents are very busy and rarely have time to accompany me. Usually, it is Zheng Xiyan who plays with me. But later, she seemed to dislike me. However, we still studied in the same school and were in the same class in high school. She used to come to my house often. My parents knew her. This trip was also paid for by my father."

Shen Xin understood that the relationship between Huang Jingt and Zheng Xiyan had deteriorated a long time ago, but because Huang Jingt's parents paid little attention to her, they thought they were best friends. Zheng Xiyan might also pretend to be very good in front of adults, and even let Huang Jingt's family pay for her travel.

Maybe Huang Jingt's parents still think that the three good friends should go out on a happy trip?

These parents are really generous.

"Have you talked to Zheng Xiyan? Is there any misunderstanding here?"

Huang Jingt didn't answer, just shook her head. Shen Xin saw that her hand seemed to be injured, squatted down to take a look: "How did you hurt your hand?"

Huang Jingt retracted her hand and said to her, "I accidentally scratched it when I was trying to snatch the phone just now."

Seeing that she was reluctant to talk, Shen Xin did not ask any more questions. He just helped her up from the stool and asked her to go back to her room: "It's getting late now. You can't stay outside all the time. It's better to go back to your room early. If you really don't want to go back, you can stay in my room tonight?"

Huang Jing shook her head and said, "No, Zheng Xiyan will be even angrier tomorrow."

As she spoke, she waved to Shen Xin and said, "Guide Shen, I'm going back first."

"Yeah." Shen Xin followed her and inadvertently heard the sound of @ coming from behind.

...How many people are awake at this late hour?

She stopped, picked up her phone and shone it in the direction of the sound: "Who's there?"

A man walked out from inside, raising his hand to block the light from Shen Xin's phone. He didn't say anything, but Shen Xin could tell from his tightly wrapped clothing that it was Jiang Xiao from their group: "Mr. Jiang, what are you doing here so late?"

Jiang Xiao rarely answered Shen Xin's question: "Sunbathe in the moonlight."

"…"Okay. "Mr. Jiang, it's too cold outside. You should go back to your room and rest early."

Jiang Xiao hummed and walked back to the hotel.

Shen Xin stood there for a while, and this time she made sure that no one was outside before returning to her room. As soon as she entered the room, she heard a man's voice asking her, "Are you back?"

Shen Xin: “…”

To be honest, if she hadn't been hardened by watching horror movies for so many years, this sentence would have scared her to death. :)

The person who was talking was not someone else, but Ye Zhiyou in the computer. Shen Xin did not turn off the video when she left. She did not expect that several minutes later, Ye Zhiyou was still waiting for her.

She walked back to her computer and sat down on the sofa - this time she even drew the curtains behind her.

Ye Zhiyou asked her, "What happened outside? Why did you take so long?"

Shen Xin sighed: "Didn't you say that Huang Jingt was being bullied? I just chatted with her outside for a while."

"Oh? Did she tell you?"

"Yeah." Shen Xin summarized what Huang Jingt had just said to her and told Ye Zhiyou, "I think there are big problems with her parents."

Ye Zhiyou nodded in agreement: "Many parents think that as long as they provide their children with a good living condition, they are qualified parents. In fact, it is not that easy. Making money is much easier than caring about the physical and mental health of children."

Shen Xin: “…”

She agreed with Ye Zhiyou's first statement, but had reservations about his second statement.

It’s not easy for most ordinary parents to make money, right? Especially now that raising children is getting more and more expensive!

After Ye Zhiyou finished speaking, he did not forget to conclude: "When we become parents in the future, we cannot be like this."

"..." Shen Xin felt that this sounded strange, "You are right, but why do you say it as if I want to raise a child with you?"

Ye Zhiyou looked at her in surprise: "You want to have a baby with me?"

Shen Xin: “…”

tui!!

"Mr. Ye, it's late, you should go to bed early. Dreams can contain all kinds of things." Shen Xin said and hung up the video call without hesitation.

The night passed peacefully. The next day, we had breakfast at the hotel, wandered around the park for a while, and left the forest park by car before lunch.

They had lunch back in the city, and Shen Xin took them to the busiest commercial street in H City. This is also a popular tourist attraction in H City. In addition to the unique buildings, the fashionable men and women walking on the street are also a beautiful landscape.

"It's 2pm now. We will gather here at 5:30pm and then go back to the hotel for dinner. You can move freely in the following time. There are snacks, cafes and many popular online stores here. If you want to shop, there are also various brands. You can arrange your time according to your needs. Just be back here at 5:30pm, okay?"

"No problem, Tour Guide Shen." Everyone answered Shen Xin in a loud voice and then dispersed.

Shen Xin did not go shopping with them. She bought a cup of milk tea and returned to the bus, playing with her phone comfortably. After four o'clock, she got off the bus to stretch her muscles. She did not expect that she would see Xie Kaihuai while just wandering around outside!

Today is not Sunday, and school is not over yet. Shouldn't Xie Kaihuai be attending classes in school now?

Seeing Xie Kaihuai in casual clothes chatting and laughing with his companions, Shen Xin first took out his phone to take a few photos before walking up to him and calling him, "Xie Kaihuai, what a coincidence?"

Xie Kaihuai, who was drinking an iced cola, suddenly heard Shen Xin's voice, and was so scared that the cola in his mouth almost spit out. He swallowed the cola with difficulty, maintaining his face as a big brother, but the smile on his face was still stiffer than before. He turned his head to look at Shen Xin, and then quickly glanced around, and said to Shen Xin with a dry smile: "Yeah, what a coincidence, you are not shopping with my sister, are you?"

Shen Xin smiled and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm here to lead a tour group. Your sister is not here."

Xie Kaihuai was obviously relieved, and his smile was not as stiff as before. Shen Xin still looked at him and smiled: "You are quite brave, skipping class to come out and play?"

Xie Kai looked at her flatteringly: "I have my reasons."

"Oh, what's the reason?"

"Today is my birthday! I'm officially 18 years old!"

Shen Xin was stunned for a moment, but still said sternly: "You are eighteen years old, an adult, and you must be responsible for your own actions."

Xie Kaihuai: "..."

"Guide Shen."

Suddenly someone called Shen Xin, and Shen Xin grabbed Xie Kaihuai who was about to run away, turned around and said to the person who came, "Mr. Wang, Mrs. Wang, what can I do for you?"

Mrs. Wang glanced at Mr. Wang before she spoke: "It's like this, isn't there a famous haunted house here? There are a lot of guides online. We wanted to go and have some fun, and then we saw those girls from high school there."

When Shen Xin heard about these three high school students, she panicked: "What happened to them?"

Mrs. Wang said, "The girl named Huang Jingt went in, but I think she seemed very scared."

Shen Xin frowned: "She went in alone? Didn't Zheng Xiyan and the others go?"

Mrs. Wang shook her head and said, "They are waiting for her outside. Guide Shen, there are some things I don't know whether I should say or not. In the past few days when we were together, I always felt that the little girl surnamed Huang was timid. Today I also saw that she was very afraid of the haunted house, but the other two girls insisted that she go in."

She even felt that the two of them said they were waiting for her outside, but in fact they were there to monitor her and prevent her from running away halfway.

"I see. I'll go take a look." Shen Xin didn't care about Xie Kaihuai anymore, and walked towards the haunted house. Unexpectedly, Xie Kaihuai, who had been trying to run away just now, followed her instead.

"Hey, you're not going to go into the haunted house alone to look for someone, are you?" Xie Kaihuai followed Shen Xin and walked beside her. "That haunted house is very scary. Meiqiu was almost scared to tears last time."

Meiqiu is Xie Kaihuai's good friend. She also skipped classes today to celebrate his birthday. When she heard Xie Kaihuai talking about her in front of the beautiful sister, she felt embarrassed: "Xie Kaihuai, please don't talk nonsense. How come I was almost scared to tears?"

Xie Kaihuai looked at him and laughed: "Yes, you didn't almost cry, you were just scared to tears."

Everyone else started laughing at his behavior. Xie Kai put his arm around Shen Xin's shoulder as usual and said to her, "Aren't you scared? The internet has said that the haunted house is very scary."

Shen Xin glanced at him sideways: "What do you mean?"

Xie Kaihuai straightened his chest and looked at him manly: "I'll go in with you."

Shen Xin looked at him for a while and smiled: "Okay, come in with me."

One of them has to be scared to death by the haunted house, out of respect for the staff who dress up as ghosts in the haunted house.
