Ruan Mian opened his eyes immediately, but after being in a dark environment for a long time, his eyes could not adapt to the sudden light. As soon as he opened his eyes, his eyelashes trembled and even forced out a few physiological tears.
"Don't be impatient," a big hand covered it again, and Bo Yan's low and cold voice sounded in his ears, "Get used to it, and then open your eyes slowly."
This feeling of being protected by Bo Yan again and again was really too awkward. Therefore, although the hand covering his eyelids made Ruan Mian feel very comfortable, he still quickly raised his hand and waved it away. He blinked twice and opened his eyes. He deliberately raised his eyebrows and sneered: "What... is there to get used to? Our cool brother is not that squeamish!"
Bo Yan smiled and stroked her hair skillfully: "I don't think you are delicate."
Ruan Mian was satisfied and was about to say something else, but he and Bo Yan looked at each other for two seconds before he suddenly realized that their current posture seemed a little wrong...
They were both lying down.
What’s more important is that they were still lying face to face, as if they were sleeping opposite each other!
The moment this thought hit his head, Ruan Mian suddenly withdrew his gaze, and as if he had been electrocuted, he exerted force and sat up straight.
He inexplicably recalled what Bo Yan said just now when they fell off the turntable.
Ruan Mian raised his hand and randomly smoothed his hair, his heart filled with annoyance.
No matter how slow-witted he was, he knew that such words were not something that could be said casually.
Isn't that a promise that only lovers would make? Why did Bo Yan tell him that!
After hesitating for a second, Ruan Mian turned his head again and looked at Bo Yan, "You just..."
But just as he started talking, he suddenly heard Wen Tang's joyful voice: "Ruan Ruan!"
Ruan Mian's eyes widened, and he immediately forgot about Bo Yan. He quickly turned his head to look at the source of the voice and responded loudly: "Tangtang! I'm here!"
Behind him, where he couldn't see, Bo Yan's eyes dimmed slightly, and then he suddenly raised his hand and gently licked the tip of his index finger with the tip of his tongue.
Just now, this place was stained with Ruan Mian's tears.
They were now in an empty room, the entire room was covered with thick sponge mats.
The sponge pad was still dark blue, and Wen Tang and Han Yi walked over together as if they were wading through the sea water.
Before Wen Tang got close enough, Ruan Mian started talking to him in a series of words: "Tangtang, what happened to you? Are you scared? Did Han Yi protect you?!"
"I encountered all kinds of messes." Wen Tang didn't want to go into too much detail and scare Ruan Mian again, so he just said one sentence and answered them one by one, "I'm not scared, I don't need his protection."
Wen Tang's words were different from Ruan Mian's. He was not trying to be brave, but he was really not afraid. As a result, Han Yi felt that he was useless and very aggrieved throughout the whole process.
Han Yi couldn't help but ask Ruan Mian again: "How are you guys? Did Bo Gou protect you?"
Ruan Mian: “…………”
If it was before entering this haunted house, Ruan Mian would have sneered without hesitation and said to him: "Are you kidding? Does our cool guy need protection from others?"
But thinking back to the scenes since entering the haunted house...
For the first time, Ruan Mian felt what it meant to lack confidence!
He just moved his lips, and before he could figure out how to answer so as to appear cool, he heard Bo Yan say calmly, "No, it was Ruan Mian who protected me."
Han Yi: “?”
Ruan Mian suddenly turned his head to look at Bo Yan, who curled his lips at him and said frankly: "Thank you for your protection, brother Ku. The gaming experience is excellent."
Ruan Mian was completely speechless now.
It’s not just because the cool guy’s face was perfectly maintained, but also because the person who protected him was the annoying Bo Yan.
It's a strange feeling to have something that you don't want others to discover being properly hidden by another person. It's like sharing a secret that only the two of them know, and there's a hidden sense of intimacy.
After a while, Ruan Mian curled her lips slightly, feeling awkward, and gave Bo Yan ten points in her heart.
It seems that Bo Yan is not that annoying after all?
Wen Tang couldn't help but glanced at Bo Yan thoughtfully again, but the latter gave him an innocent and puzzled look again. Wen Tang shook his head helplessly and changed the subject, "Since we have all met, we should be close to the exit."
"I feel the same way!" Ruan Mian said excitedly, "And this haunted house is quite fun!"
He said this as if he was not the one who jumped up in fright again and again.
The four of them looked around together and soon discovered that there were no other passages except the two doors they came in through.
Of course, it was impossible to exit again through the door they came in, so it was as if they had entered a secret room.
"Based on my years of experience watching horror movies," Han Yi touched his chin, raised an index finger, and said in a Conan tone, "There is only one passage!"
He paused for a moment, then pointed his index finger at the center of the room again, and said mysteriously, "Right there! Under the center of the room!"
Although he looked extremely childish, Ruan Mian and the others all agreed with this inference.
So the four of them walked two by two towards the center of the room.
The closer we got to the center, the slower our pace became.
Han Yi also shouted a warning: "Watch your step—ah!"
But the word "xia" was out of tune as soon as it came out, and it turned into a long scream.
Because while he was speaking, he and Wen Tang both stepped on empty air and fell straight down!
Before Ruan Mian and Bo Yan could figure out what was happening, they fell into the trap as well!
Ruan Mian felt like he had fallen into a long passage, like a slide, but he only slid for two seconds before reaching the end.
He quickly turned around and found that the other three people had arrived at almost the same time and were sitting side by side on the cushions.
When they looked up again, they saw a door facing them. On the door were two big square characters - Exit.
"Look, I told you so," Han Yi said arrogantly, "the passage is right in the center of the room! What do you think? Am I awesome?"
"You are the best," Bo Yan glanced at him, curled his lips, and said in a mocking tone, "You are so good that you fell down before you finished speaking."
Ruan Mian and Wen Tang couldn't help laughing.
"Fuck," Han Yi cursed, and as he stood up to open the door, he cursed Bo Yan, "Bo Gou, you are really becoming more and more like a dog!"
The door opened and the four people came out one by one, only to find that they were back in the hall of the haunted house.
The staff came over and said with a smile: "Congratulations to you both for not giving up on each other and finally escaping from X High School together!"
All four of them were stunned.
The staff member raised his hand and pointed at the wall next to them. Ruan Mian and the others then discovered that, in addition to the door they came out of, there were four other identical doors on the wall, and on each of the doors were posted the same two large characters - Exit.
The four of them suddenly looked even more stunned.
The staff member then smiled and explained, "In fact, before, when the NPC in X High School asked you to choose whether to abandon your companions or not, your path had already been determined. There is only one entrance to X High School, but five exits. Therefore, if you gave up your companions at that time, you would still reach the exit, but you would not meet them again. This is also the original design concept of our X High School - if you keep thinking about it, there will be a response. It can also be said that only by keeping your original intention in mind can you achieve your goal."
After saying this, everyone immediately understood what he meant.
At that time, when standing on the turntable, the man in black kept encouraging Ruan Mian and Bo Yan to give up each other. If Ruan Mian had not been pulled by Bo Yan at that time, they would have slid towards different doors and naturally came out from different doors in the end.
Although the final result seems to be no different, I clearly feel that it is best to come out together.
After all, they went in together from the beginning.
The problem that had been temporarily put aside before came back to Ruan Mian's mind again.
So, why did Bo Yan say that at that time?
Ruan Mian's mind was completely occupied by this question at the moment, so he didn't react at all. Wen Tang and Han Yi naturally came out together.
Instead, Bo Yan looked up at Han Yi, but Han Yi said nothing and just gave him a wink.
Bo Yan made a "tsk" sound but said nothing.
Even after he got his phone and left the haunted house and got on the subway back to school, Ruan Mian was still unusually silent.
On the way back, Bo Yan still sat face to face with him.
Ruan Mian had just plugged in the earphones when her phone vibrated.
Another message from Bo Yan——
Bking Computer: What are you thinking about?
Ruan Mian paused. Should I ask?
But after only hesitating for a second, Ruan Mian made a decision. If she was going to ask, she would ask directly to save him from being annoyed and worrying about it!
Ruan Mian's fingers flew, and he immediately replied:
Before I think about it, when we entered the last door, what did you mean by that sentence?
After saying this, Ruan Mian subconsciously held his breath.
But I don’t know if Bo Yan did it on purpose, he actually repeated the sentence again!
Bking Computer: Huh?
Bking Computer: Are you saying that no matter what happens, I will never give up on you?
Ruan Mian: …………
So this person really has no shame?
Bo Yan was silent a little longer this time. Ruan Mian saw that the dialog box still had the words "typing", and couldn't help but secretly raise her head and glance at him.
Across the aisle, Bo Yan lowered his head slightly, his eyelashes drooped, and his slender fingers were poking at the screen.
Ruan Mian's thoughts inexplicably started to go haywire again. He had never noticed before, why Bo Yan's eyelashes were so long, and why his fingers were so long too?
People like Bo Yan must have been secretly photographed many times while sitting on the subway, right?
The cell phone suddenly buzzed again, and Ruan Mian came back to his senses suddenly. He lowered his head hastily, as if he had been caught doing something wrong.
While cursing himself in his heart: Is there something wrong with you? What are you staring at Bo Yan for!
When I opened my phone, a new message popped up in the dialog box with Bo Yan.
Bking Computer: It doesn't mean anything. You just don't remember what was said on the loudspeaker when we first separated from Han Yi and the others. We were told to remember not to lose our only partner again. So of course I won't give up on you.
Ruan Mian paused.
He remembered that this sentence was indeed said in the loudspeaker at that time, so Bo Yan said that just to follow the game settings!
After figuring this out, Ruan Mian suddenly felt relieved. He typed away quickly.
I remember! So this is the reason. I feel relieved now!
Bo Yan replied immediately: Hmm? If it's not because of this, what are you worried about?
Ruan Mian was stunned again.
Yes, if it wasn’t for this, what would he be worried about?
He is a straight man, what is there to worry about?
Ruan Mian realized belatedly that her previous thoughts were too weird, and her face puffed up again. She replied angrily:
Nothing! I feel so relieved!
After sending the message, Ruan Mian locked her phone immediately without waiting for Bo Yan's reply and turned to look out the window.
Bo Yan raised his eyes, looked at him for a moment, and twitched the corners of his lips into a helpless smile.
At night, after turning off the lights, lie in bed.
Ruan Mian scrolled through her phone for a while, then felt sleepy, so she locked the phone, put it aside, and closed her eyes.
But thanks to the haunted house during the day, Ruan Mian found that he couldn't sleep at all!
He was obviously so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, but as soon as he closed his eyes, the scenes that happened in the haunted house would flash before his eyes like a movie!
There was a bloody mouth on the white wall, a dancing female ghost with disheveled hair and a scar on her head, a sea of ghosts with dull eyes, evil ghosts without eyeballs, a room full of bloodstained broken hands and feet, a weird man in black, and that rapidly spinning Bagua turntable that could break away at any time!
It goes on and on in a cycle without end.
Ruan Mian shook his head vigorously, turned over, and curled himself up in the quilt again.
But the picture in my mind gradually changed and became——
When he jumped up, Bo Yan's hand on his back; Bo Yan's protruding and sharp wrist bones; Bo Yan's expression when he put his arm around his shoulder and looked into his eyes; the warmth of Bo Yan's palm when he held his hand; Bo Yan's body temperature when he was scared and hung on Bo Yan; Bo Yan's brief hug, and the steady and powerful sense of solidity when Bo Yan lifted him up...
What I felt or ignored at the time, now seems so clear when I think back on it.
Ruan Mian felt dizzy and thought something was wrong with him. He couldn't help but turn over again and buried his head in the pillow.
The cell phone suddenly vibrated with a "buzz" sound. Ruan Mian was startled, but the next second, he opened his eyes quickly and reached over to take a look as if he had found a savior.
But who would have known that, by coincidence, it was another message from Bo Yan!
Bking Computer: Not asleep?
They all had beds with desks underneath. Strictly speaking, Ruan Mian's bed and Bo Yan's bed were connected to each other and shared a ladder.
Therefore, when Ruan Mian tossed and turned here, Bo Yan could feel it.
When Ruan Mian saw the three words on the screen, he paused for a moment, and a nameless anger suddenly rose to his head.
What was he going to say, that he was so scared that he couldn't sleep, or that his head was full of Bo Yan and he couldn't sleep anyway? !
The former sounds too cowardly to be said, and the latter sounds sick to be said.
After a while, Ruan Mian vented his anger on his phone, poking the screen hard, and only replied with three words -
Yes, not sleepy!
Bking’s computer replied immediately: Then change your direction and lie down over here.
They usually sleep with their heads facing the wall and their feet facing each other, very far apart.
Ruan Mian didn't understand why Bo Yan suddenly asked him to lie in the opposite direction, and he was angry, so he replied without thinking:
? What do you mean, you want to step on me?
Bking Computer:…………
Bking Computer: I don’t mean that. Just lie down first and I’ll change direction.
When this message popped up on the screen, Ruan Mian felt the bed shake, and heard a rustling sound on Bo Yan's bed, and then it quickly returned to calm.
After hesitating for a second, Ruan Mian sat up and lay down in a different direction.
He and Bo Yan each covered their beds with bed curtains, so even if they lay head to head, they would still be blocked by the curtains and could not see each other.
Ruan Mian spoke in a low voice, her tone very impatient: "What are you doing? Why do you have to make me lie down?"
"Aren't you unable to sleep?" Bo Yan's low and cold voice came through the bed curtains, his tone natural and sincere, "Do you want the roommate's sleep-coaxing service?"
Ruan Mian took a deep breath, then suddenly raised his hand and rubbed his earlobes hard.
He suspected that the haunted house was too powerful, or maybe there was something wrong with his ears and brain, otherwise why would he feel that Bo Yan's tone sounded so gentle? !
Also, what the hell is this roommate sleep-to-sleep service?
Perhaps because he didn't say anything, Bo Yan asked again: "Do you want it?"
Ruan Mian suddenly came back to his senses and said through gritted teeth: "How do you want to coax me?"
If Bo Yan dared to say that he would sing a lullaby to him, it would be the end!
He would definitely drag Bo Yan off the bed and throw him to the ground immediately!
Ruan Mian was thinking this when he heard Bo Yan groaning softly, and then asked in a friendly manner: "I have never coaxed anyone before, how about I sing a lullaby for you?"
The author has something to say: Xiaobo, you are done. The floor is your final resting place tonight! 【bushi】
