Even if Yu Qiuchi didn't know that the four people were going to ambush him at the exit of the haunted house, he didn't plan to continue down. Don't ask, he had his own ideas.
"The production team didn't explicitly state that we had to finish everything; they just said we had to check off the attractions. We've already completed half of the haunted house, so I guess that counts as successfully checking off the attractions!"
The staff thought it made sense, but something seemed off, so they gave the skill card to Yu Qiuchi with some skepticism.
Yu Qiuchi glanced at the skill card he had drawn; it was a decorative card.
I don't know where the production team got a massage voucher.
[Haha, the production team is really ripping us off!]
[How can this not be considered a mutual love affair between the wife and the production team? A mutually sabotaging couple has been born!]
"Let's go ride the roller coaster."
Yu Qiuchi decided to return the way she came. She lifted the red curtain again and saw the long-awaited sunlight. Yu Qiuchi thought to herself that it was better to avoid haunted houses and other eerie places. After all, her Zhou Shen was so scared that his lips turned white.
Yu Qiuchi glanced at the tightly clenched hem of her clothes, then looked down at Jiang Chenzhou biting his lower lip, his face full of wariness. Yu Qiuchi sighed silently. Poor e-sports god, he had completely lost face in the eyes of his fans today.
[Who has ever seen a male god like this?! Even the most stoic and unyielding god has fallen for his gentle nature.]
[They're starting to feel the pressure, aren't they?]
[Who was that guy who just showed off his boyfriend-like strength by single-handedly pulling his wife away from the female ghost? (doge)]
Song Yaozhuo, watching from behind, noticed Jiang Chenzhou's hand clutching Yu Qiuchi's clothes. His gaze darkened, and he quickened his pace, his figure blocking the slanting sunlight. He said casually, "We're out of the haunted house."
Then he fell silent and continued being his wooden puppet.
[This is a little secret that our arrogant brother usually doesn't reveal.]
Xie Tingsi, Gu Xiaojun, Tang Ke, and Yan Qing had already gathered at the entrance of the haunted house, with Yan Qing carrying the sweet soup he had been longing for.
Seeing Yan Qing enjoying his meal, Xie Tingsi leaned over and asked, "Is it delicious?"
Yan Qing's eyes lit up: "It's delicious! It's mochi matcha flavored. I've been wanting to try it for so long, I never thought they'd sell it here."
"Something doesn't feel right." Tang Ke squinted at the badge on the map that had been marked as "checked in."
Gu Xiaojun zoomed in on the map and looked at the location: "But their location is still in the haunted house."
"Where is Song Yaozhuo?" Xie Tingsi asked, since Song Yaozhuo was the first to arrive, and his location on the map overlapped with that of Yu Qiuchi.
"He should be with Yu Qiuchi and Jiang Chenzhou." Gu Xiaojun wasn't quite sure, after all, if they were really together, why didn't the production team announce the end of the game?
Xie Tingsi immediately shouted indignantly, "He actually betrayed our group of five! Director, I'm reporting this illegal team formation!"
Since no one paid attention to Xie Tingsi's breach of defense, it meant that it wasn't an illegal team formation.
Tang Ke raised an eyebrow, his fox-like eyes seemingly calculating something: "They probably have props or something, just like those chasing variety shows."
"Then why are they still ranked in the haunted house... the roller coaster badge is lit up!" Xie Tingsi was shocked.
Yan Qing swallowed the last mouthful of sugar water and, without thinking, casually replied, "They left their phones in the haunted house!"
Then the four of them looked up, their faces filled with shock. Facing the three's burning gazes, Yan Qing's hand trembled as he threw away the trash: "I just said it offhand."
"Yeah, the production team didn't say they couldn't leave their phones in the haunted house!" The dog was shocked and felt wronged!
Xie Tingsi's wet eyes were full of displeasure. He was convinced that this was Zhou Shen's idea, and that Jiang Chenzhou was too cunning!
[Hahaha, you silly kids! Yu Qiuchi's almost finished all the drop tower rides.]
While the four were figuring out their positions, Jiang Chenzhou and Song Yaozhuo had a fierce eye-to-eye battle over the issue of seats on the roller coaster.
In the end, Jiang Chenzhou won by a narrow margin and sat next to Yu Qiuchi. As the roller coaster started, Jiang Chenzhou grabbed Yu Qiuchi's hand amidst the screams of the crowd.
Yu Qiuchi was in a state of tension. Although he was not afraid of heights, he could not stand the thrill of such a ride because of a previous car accident. The roller coaster was going down so fast that it reminded Yu Qiuchi of the scene of glass flying everywhere during the car accident.
Yu Qiuchi was somewhat startled by Jiang Chenzhou's touch, but he managed to suppress his movements and calm himself down amidst his fear.
Once he calmed down, Yu Qiuchi wanted to remove his hand, but then, as if remembering something, he gently squeezed Jiang Chenzhou's fingers to comfort him. He thought it was because Jiang Chenzhou was afraid of heights. Besides, they had held hands before, and since they were both boys, there was no question of one taking advantage of the other.
What Yu Qiuchi didn't see was Jiang Chenzhou's triumphant smile.
"Me and Song Yaozhuo."
It can only be said that luck cannot always favor the same person. There were only two empty seats left on the drop tower. Yu Qiuchi immediately made a decision, after all, Jiang Chenzhou was afraid of heights.
Yu Qiuchi felt that Zhou Shen had become a little afraid of too many things after watching the variety show, but Yu Qiuchi didn't have any other thoughts. After all, everyone has something they're afraid of in life.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chenzhou's phone slowly curled up. He couldn't help but look at Yu Qiuchi's expression. It seemed that the smile on Yu Qiuchi's face had disappeared since they got off the roller coaster. Was she angry because his behavior was too inappropriate?
“Jiang Chenzhou and I will go!” Song Yaozhuo, who was always the one being arranged, stepped forward.
Song Yaozhuo's eyes were very serious, as if he were giving an important speech.
"But isn't Zhou Shen afraid of heights?" Yu Qiuchi asked, puzzled.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chenzhou's curled-up hands slowly relaxed. It turned out that he didn't want to play with Song Yaozhuo without him; it was because he was afraid of heights. His little fan was too kind.
Thinking about what he had done on the roller coaster, Jiang Chenzhou nodded in agreement to admit his fear of heights in order not to be a hooligan: "A little, but I can overcome it." Not wanting Song Yaozhuo and Yu Qiuchi to be together, he took a long stride and sat down in his seat.
The staff nearby, fearing that other tourists would be dissatisfied, urged the three to make a decision quickly. Seeing Jiang Chenzhou's resolute actions, Yu Qiuchi could not say anything more. He just watched Jiang Chenzhou and Song Yaozhuo slowly rise from outside the railing.
Yu Qiuchi wondered why Jiang Chenzhou, who was afraid of heights, still went to accompany Song Yaozhuo. Could it be that he had feelings for her? Also, she deliberately kept herself and Song Yaozhuo apart on the roller coaster earlier... so why didn't she send a message expressing her feelings to Song Yaozhuo?
Was it sent to yourself out of politeness? Or did they just hit it off today, just now in the haunted house?
Yu Qiuchi sat on the bench, lost in thought, looking puzzled.
"biu～"
Yu Qiuchi turned around and saw Xie Tingsi holding a water gun to his head as if to fire, looking smug.
"You are now under arrest. Please put your hands up and hand over the props!"
[Haha, I'm laughing so hard I'm rich! Does this look familiar to everyone?]
[(doge emoji) I'll punish you in the name of the law!]
[You two seem like a perfect match. Do you prefer splashing around in puddles together, or do you prefer being carried across them?]
[One wants to share your joy, the other doesn't want you to get hurt in any way—it's such a difficult choice!]
