Chapter 15

The director felt that this person was deliberately arguing with him.

In order to bring back the horror atmosphere, the director can only quickly move on to the next step: taking everyone to visit the room.

There are two rooms on the first floor, a nanny's room and an elderly room. It is said that on the day of the accident, the wealthy family wanted to enjoy family happiness, so they gave the nanny a day off, which saved her from the accident.

The director led everyone to the elderly room and pointed at the large, half-new bed, his tone eerie: "Back then, the family happily moved into this villa, looking forward to the next day's leisure time. The family was happy and harmonious, but they didn't know that in the darkness, a pair of dark eyes were silently staring at them.

"After everyone fell asleep, the owner of those eyes began to act. He first went into the kitchen and took a kitchen knife, then climbed into the elderly woman's room through the window, got to the old lady's side, covered her mouth, and then..."

He made a movement of his neck, and his voice suddenly rose, his expression fierce: "Slit the throat with a knife!"

Whoosh! A strong wind suddenly blew in from outside, blowing the curtains into the air, as if something invisible was actually floating in from the window.

"ah!--"

Xie Yuhua was so frightened that she screamed and threw herself into Qiao Yuanzhong's arms with a pale face. Jiang Mingshuang hid behind Xue Tinghe and hugged one of his arms tightly. Sun Zhanyuan also rushed over and hugged his other arm.

Hu Lijing hid behind them, hugging herself and trembling.

Only Gu Yunshuang had the same expressionless face as always, standing straight and unmoved, as if to say, don't even think about scaring me with this childish game.

Qi Yue suddenly stepped forward and hugged him, patting his back and coaxing him softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here! Besides, there are no ghosts in this world. It's all the director's trickery. The curtains flew up because someone was turning on the fan outside. Seriously, I saw it all."

The horror atmosphere that the director had painstakingly created was once again completely destroyed.

The director glared at Qi Yue, who in turn resentfully accused him, "Director, you're going too far. You knew Shuangshuang in my family was timid and couldn't stand being frightened, yet you deliberately frightened him."

director:……

What the director didn't expect was that he saw Gu Yun's eyes turned red in an instant, and there seemed to be a gleam in his eyes. His pair of slender jade-like hands tightly grasped Qi Yue's clothes, and the strength was so strong that his knuckles turned white. His hands were shaking uncontrollably, and he looked quite aggrieved.

Noticing the director looking at him, Gu Yunshuang immediately buried his head in Qi Yue's arms, hiding his expression from others. But he clearly looked frightened, and even more aggrieved.

Compared to him, Jiang Mingshuang and Xie Yuhua, who were also frightened, looked a little fake.

Not only the director, but even the audience in the live broadcast room were stunned.

[Holy shit! Is this really the Gu Yunshuang I know? Gu Yunshuang, if you've been possessed, just blink.]

So what Qiyue said is right. Gu Yunshuang is actually very timid and cute. It's not that he's arrogant and cold, unmoved by anything, but because when he's nervous or scared, his whole body stiffens and his face becomes paralyzed. Why do I suddenly find this Gu Yunshuang so cute?

[Ahhh! Although the aloof Yun Shuang is gone, Su is timid and easily frightened into a state of expressionlessness. Only in front of Qiyue does she look aggrieved and only needs a hug to calm down. Shuangshuang is so cute and I want to pet her!]

[It's so real, this must be another whitewashing scheme by Gu Yunshuang.]

[Tsk, you were the ones who said Shuangshuang's acting was bad, and now you're the ones saying his acting is so good it's like the real thing. Anyway, our Shuangshuang has Schrödinger's acting skills!]

The director couldn't help but feel shaken. Could it be that they had really misjudged Gu Yunshuang before? Gu Yunshuang was just very timid and silly. When he was scared or nervous, his whole body would become stiff like a piece of wood. He was not arrogant and indifferent at all?

He quickly dismissed the thought. Regardless of Gu Yunshuang's true character, he couldn't forget the true purpose of this variety show. He couldn't afford to offend a behemoth like the Jiang family.

Thinking of this, the director hardened his heart and continued according to the plan, leading the guests to see other rooms, vividly describing the situation when the murder happened, trying to create a horror atmosphere.

But there is Qi Yue who doesn't give him any face and tries hard to sabotage him.

Director: Look at this bloody handprint, it was left by the hostess when she struggled to escape.

Qi Yue: It’s fake. It looks very fresh at first glance. It must have been newly added by the director.

Director: Look at the knife marks on the wardrobe. The murderer chopped it off because the male owner dodged in time during the fight.

Qi Yue: Fake! The marks clearly show an axe. Didn't they say the murderer used a kitchen knife? How did it become an axe?

Director: Blah blah blah…

Qi Yue: Fake, blah blah blah…

A good supernatural variety show was turned into a ridiculous fake show after Qi Yue messed it up.

The director was so angry that his face turned the color of liver. Qi Yue continued to make sarcastic remarks: "Hey, director, you guys are so careless in making these props. There are so many bugs that I can't even complain."

Director and staff: If you can’t complain, then please stop complaining! ! ! ! !

The audience was delighted.

[Hahahahahahaha, please stop talking, the director can't even hide the look in his eyes that makes him want to kill you.]

[Honestly, this is the most ridiculous and hilarious supernatural variety show I have ever seen.]

July is going too far. He's constantly disrupting the show and interrupting the live broadcast. Does he think this will attract attention? Master Xue must have figured out whether it's a real haunting or a fake one. He remained silent because he didn't want to interfere with the show. But he thinks he's so clever, jumping around like a clown. It's so annoying.

[Aren't you the one who's being unreasonable? Shouldn't we blame the production team for not carefully making the props, which is why the guests found so many loopholes? Didn't you hear how obvious the loopholes Qi Yue pointed out were? You're simply playing the audience and the guests off as fools. I think the problem is that you only criticize the people who raise the questions, and not the people who created them, right?]

Qiyue didn't pick so many thorns to attract attention, it was obviously to deliberately destroy the scary atmosphere and prevent Shuangshuang from being scared. He really, he dotes on her too much!

The director was very tired and stopped wasting time, so he started allocating rooms directly.

There were six rooms arranged for the guests to stay in, three of which were the rooms where the murders had occurred.

Director: "You can discuss and arrange the rooms yourselves. Each of you can have one room. Considering that some people are timid and might get scared, two people can have one room. But it is imperative that the three unlucky rooms—the master bedroom, the children's room, and the elderly's room—are occupied. Of course, if none of you want to live in the unlucky room, you can draw lots."

Qi Yue knew that the reason for letting the two of them live in the same room was to reasonably arrange for Jiang Mingshuang and Xue Tinghe to live in the same room, which would make it more convenient for them to cultivate their relationship while copying each other.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yunshuang was the first to speak, pointing to the largest and most spacious master bedroom and saying, "I'll live in the master bedroom."

The master bedroom is the most haunted room according to the director.

Everyone else was stunned, because after seeing Gu Yunshuang's previous reaction, they began to believe that Gu Yunshuang was indeed a timid and cute character. Even if it was fake, in order to maintain this character, he should have acted afraid at this time and not dared to live in the haunted room.

The director was secretly delighted, thinking that Gu Yunshuang was indeed building up his character, but he didn't expect it to fail so quickly.

Qi Yue didn't understand why Gu Yunshuang suddenly chose to live in the master bedroom. He frowned and said disapprovingly, "No, you're such a coward. Even if the so-called murder case was all made up by the director, you'll definitely be scared and have nightmares if you live here."

Gu Yunshuang looked at him expectantly: "It's okay, didn't the director say that we can live together? If you're with me, I won't be afraid even if it's really a haunted house. You took me to explore haunted houses before, and we watched horror movies together at night. I wasn't scared when you were around, right?"

Qi Yue: “…”

Those were things he loved to do back when he was a middle school student. Because Shuangshuang was as soft as a bun and had a bit of a tsundere streak, he couldn't help but tease her. He also wanted to see the little Shuangshuang get scared and hug him tightly, calling him brother. So he often took Gu Yunshuang to explore haunted houses, or took him to see horror movies and tell him ghost stories to scare him.

At first, Xiao Yunshuang was indeed frightened and huddled in his arms, but later on, she didn't even blink. If he hadn't accidentally noticed that when she couldn't see him, Xiao Yunshuang would easily be frightened by the wind blowing the curtains or a shadow, her face turning pale and her body stiff, he would have thought that Xiao Yunshuang's courage had been strengthened by him.

Now Gu Yunshuang’s meaning was very clear, she just wanted to sleep with him.

Qi Yue smiled bitterly in his heart. Shuangshuang had keenly sensed his avoidance and alienation, and was deliberately forcing him here!

Qi Yue also wanted to agree and give Gu Yunshuang more sense of security, but it was not a question of whether he wanted to or not, but a question of whether he could.

Now, with short-term contact, he can still ensure that he can control his ghost energy, but he is not sure about the long term.

Moreover, he was a celestial master in his lifetime, and he knew that humans and ghosts were different. It would not be good for ghosts to stay with humans for a long time. He did not want to hurt Gu Yunshuang. But Shuangshuang knew nothing. He just wanted to stick to her like before. What was wrong with that?

Refusing or not would hurt both of them. He was caught in a dilemma and couldn't speak for a long time.

His silence actually made the atmosphere a little heavy. No one else spoke, but looked at them with either interest or schadenfreude.

Gu Yunshuang sensed something was wrong from his long silence and asked hesitantly, "Brother...you don't want to be with me?"

Qi Yue avoided his gaze guiltily: "We've all grown up, we should have some space of our own. Well, no, I mean we've all grown taller and bigger, this bed is so small, it definitely can't fit the two of us. Let's just have two rooms!"

Gu Yunshuang suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief, as if she didn't expect him to refuse, and her face was full of hurt.

It's like a kitten that suddenly finds itself abandoned by its owner. It makes people feel so distressed when they see it, and they really want to hold it in their arms and rub it tightly.

Qi Yue felt very distressed and almost agreed. He opened his mouth but forced himself to hold it back. He didn't dare to say anything, fearing that he would soften his heart and agree as soon as he opened his mouth. So he could only remain silent.
