Chapter 12: A Ghostly Marriage with the Dead Bai Yueguang (XII)
Si Cheng burst into laughter, then casually asked, "Yingying, you're still a child, why are you being pressured by your family to find a partner?"
Yu Huo didn't care whether others were willing to pay attention to him or not. He spoke first with a meaningful expression: "She is not a child anymore."
The smile on Si Cheng's face faltered slightly, and he asked in surprise, "Why isn't she a child anymore? How old is she?"
Xiao Yingying lowered her eyes and rubbed the hem of her skirt: "I'm 18 now, and I just had my birthday two days ago."
Si Cheng sighed and leaned back in his chair: "18 is an adult."
After saying this, he seemed a little tired, closed his eyes and began to doze off.
The mountain road was difficult to travel on, and the van's shaking became increasingly frequent, making people feel drowsy.
An unknown amount of time had passed before the vehicle suddenly braked sharply, waking up the three dozing people. They stared at each other blankly, not knowing what had happened.
The car had now reached a remote stretch of road, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, making it particularly desolate. The clouds above seemed to be gathering rapidly, as if on accelerator, spreading across the sky in a dark, gloomy mass, as if ready to brew a torrential downpour at any moment.
Yu Huo opened the car door and looked forward.
There were several rocks as tall as a person blocking the middle of the narrow dirt road. The rocks were solid, as if they had just been knocked down from the mountain.
Moreover, these young people are either sick or thin, and they can't move at all.
Qin She frowned and took out his cell phone to make a call, but there was no answer from the other end. Only the long busy tone sounded endlessly.
"Director Qin, what should we do?"
Qin She looked at the big rocks blocking the road, his expression gradually becoming ugly, no longer as kind as when they first met.
Rumble——
Within two breaths, thunder rumbled in the sky, and the surrounding air became damp and sticky. Birds flew low by, chirping softly, as if looking for a place to shelter from the rain.
Facing Director Qin's cold face, the staff had to speak again: "Director Qin, this stone is too heavy, we can't push it away, and it's about to rain..."
Qin She snorted coldly: "Didn't they say there would be no rain recently? How did you check the weather?"
The staff secretly complained, saying, "We checked online, and there hasn't been any rain in Bashu in the past week. I don't know why it's suddenly cloudy."
At this time, Yan Xun got out of another SUV and offered a suggestion: "Director Qin, let's find a place to shelter from the rain first. There are mountains all around, and it will be dangerous if it rains heavily. After we settle down, we can try to contact someone to move these rocks."
What Yan Xun said made sense. In fact, we couldn’t stay here for long in the current situation.
"Forget it, let's find a village to take shelter from the rain. I think there's a small village nearby. Let's find an open area to park the car, and then hurry to the village to find a family to rest."
It sounds like we still have to travel on foot?
Everyone present was spoiled and felt a little uncomfortable when they heard this, but they couldn't stay in the car alone if they were not in a hurry. What if it rained for several days?
When the car drove to a field of weeds, everyone got out with their luggage.
In the entertainment industry, people usually treat people differently based on their status. Everyone else had staff to help them, but Yu Huo was the only one who was carrying a box and walking silently behind the team.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s going to rain, but there’s a thin fog brewing around us, making visibility a little low.
Yu Huo shook his arms, secretly complaining that his agent seemed to have packed too much for him. To be honest, all that makeup was quite heavy, and he hadn't used any of it yet.
Or throw it away secretly?
"What are you thinking about?"
"No one is serving me, I'm unhappy."
He muttered something, then looked at Yan Xun, who had walked to his side without him noticing. His clear eyes revealed a hint of alienation that was not easily noticed by others.
Yan Xun chuckled when he heard this: "In this circle, if you want to live a comfortable life, you have to become famous first. It's the most uncomfortable thing to be ignored."
Yu Huo tilted his head to look at him. The other person had empty hands and a sarcastic smile on his lips. It was unclear whether he was laughing at Yu Huo or at himself before he became famous.
He looked away, feeling a chill on his cheeks, and quickened his pace: "It's okay. Although I'm a 2000s kid and am in the entertainment industry, I have a Mercedes-Benz, a BMW, a city villa, and all the fixed assets add up to 10 million..."
Then, Yu Huo raised his eyebrows under Yan Xun's surprised gaze: "Actually, as long as I'm willing to talk, I can brag about anything."
“…”
Yan Xun looked up at the crowd that was moving further and further ahead, and suddenly a misstep blocked his way, his eyes filled with more obvious interest than before.
[Rogue 945: What's that look in his eyes?]
Yu Huo was annoyed that his way was blocked, and he kept talking nonsense to the system in his mind: Affectionate eyes?
[Unfortunate 945: His eyes are full of affection when he looks at everyone. He's obviously a playboy!]
Why are you so excited?
[Revenge 945: Who's excited? I'm afraid you'll get scammed. This guy obviously wants to play with you because he thinks you're pretty.]
Play? Play with my feelings?
[Rage 945: Why are you still so eager to try? Host, I'm warning you, if you dare stray during the mission, I will report you!]
Yu Huo sighed. "When will this cycle of revenge ever end? I reported you because of a typo. Isn't it good that you can't fix it now? Don't be so vindictive."
[Unjust Species 945: Humph!]
The system showed no mercy, so Yu Huo could only put aside his evil thoughts and politely ask, "Can you give way?"
Yan Xun, however, had no sense at all and shook his head: "No."
"Please, my wife is cheating on me and I'm in a hurry to catch her!"
Yan Xun lowered his eyes and glanced at him, leaning closer. Yu Huo could even smell the faint scent of cologne on the other person's body.
Hmm, it smells expensive.
"Do you know that your nonsense is hilarious? Stop playing dumb and tell me the truth, are you in a relationship?"
How big is your face?
Calling yourself brother right away? Funny!
Yu Huo took a step back: "Lord! What do you want to confess? My dear child."
The smile on Yan Xun's face froze for a moment: "Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold wind blew, making the coquettish man in front of him, who was wearing a thin shirt, shiver.
The fog in front of him was blown away, revealing the dilapidated little village behind. The large army in front had long since left, leaving only a small black dot. For some reason, Yan Xun felt inexplicably panicked, as if he was hanging in mid-air with no place to land.
Perhaps his emotions came too quickly and he was too confused. He even gave up the idea of causing trouble for Yu Huo. Before leaving, he left a sentence: "Think about it carefully. Don't wait until you lose your youth and hit the wall before you regret it. By then, everything will be too late."
Yu Huo stood where he was, not taking the guy's words seriously, his dark eyes staring straight at the village not far away.
After a long while, he knocked the lid of the suitcase with the walnut in his hand and asked softly, "What do you want to do?"
Sporadic raindrops fell, and Tian Xiuran's voice was heard not far away: "Yu Huo, it's raining, come here quickly, do you need my help?"
Yu Huo shook his head, picked up the box and walked quickly towards Tian Xiuran. During this time, he never heard a word from the evil spirit...
