Chapter 19: You really have a dirty heart
The next morning, when Shang Que arrived at Huanhai Paradise, he saw from afar several tall young men standing at the door.
Aside from Feng Ye, the rest of the ST team was there too. Everyone was talking and laughing, while Ji Jingchuan stood alone on the other side, his back to them, looking irritated.
Bian Du was the first to notice her. He stopped chatting and turned around to remind her, "Shang Que is here."
Then he gave a typical idol smile, extended his hand and said hello: "Hello, I'm Bian Du, the captain of ST."
Shang Que shook his hand and said politely, "Nice to meet you. I'm Shang Que."
"Goddess, you don't need to introduce yourself, we all know you." The cool guy with a crew cut next to her said with a grin.
Shang Que asked seriously, "Did you become famous in your group because of the quarrel with Ji Jingchuan?"
"Not entirely." Feng Ye explained, "Didn't I say on the variety show before that someone asked me to help get your autograph? It was Brother Xian, he's been pursuing you recently.
She recommends his drama to us every day, saying that his goddess acting skills are superb."
Bian Du agreed, "Yes, I heard Xiaochuan say this morning that you would be coming too, and he's been grinning since he left the house."
This was in stark contrast to Ji Jingchuan, who had a gloomy face throughout the whole process.
"No way." The cool guy with a crew cut had a hint of restraint on his face. He introduced himself: "My name is Qin Xian, Qin of the Qin Dynasty, Xian——"
"Xian, you're so good," Ji Jingchuan suddenly walked over and asked with an unhappy look on his face, "Have you guys finished chatting? Are you ready to go in?"
"It will be ready soon. Let's get to know each other first before we go in." Bian Du was used to his attitude and simply concluded: "There's no need to introduce Feng Ye and Xiao Chuan. The one over there is Qi Noa."
The baby-faced boy smiled with dimples: "You can also call me Nokia."
Shang Que actually knew a little about their group. The team leader, Bian Du, was the oldest member of the group and had a gentle and tolerant personality. He was often the one to mediate conflicts between the members.
Qin Xian is the lead rapper, a cheerful and cool guy with a somewhat blunt temper. In the group variety show, he often quarrels with Ji Jingchuan over trivial matters, but the two never hold grudges and reconcile on the spot after the quarrel. When there were rumors that Ji Jingchuan bullied other members of the group, he also came out to fight back against the marketing account that spread the rumor.
Feng Ye's positioning is somewhat similar to Ji Jingchuan, but in terms of talent and appearance, he is not as good as Ji Jingchuan as the lead singer and face of the group. However, because his emotional intelligence is on a different level, his popularity is also considerable.
Qi Noa, who takes the cute route, has a baby face and has many mother fans. His occasional temper tantrums are attributed to the child being young and ignorant, so much so that everyone ignores the fact that the youngest person in the group is actually Ji Jingchuan.
After all the introductions were completed, seeing that Ji Jingchuan's impatience was about to reach its peak, Bian Du quickly got to the point, took out his phone and asked, "By the way, we're going to start a live broadcast later. Shang Que, are you available to be on camera?"
"It's convenient." Shang Que nodded. When Ji Jingchuan asked her yesterday whether she would come or not, he said it was a task arranged by the company.
The live broadcast used ST's daily recording account. Bian Du fixed the mobile phone on a handheld selfie stick and found the right angle to make everyone appear in the camera.
"Hello everyone, welcome to the ST Paradise One-Day Tour. Our special guest is Shang Que."
[Ahhhh, why did it start without any announcement?! Today's biggest surprise!]
[I was lying in bed when I heard the notification and immediately clicked in.]
[Oh my god, there's actually a Que Que! We're in a dream collaboration!]
[Who said before that they wanted to see Shang Que participate in the ST group variety show? Isn't that wish come true? ]
[Hahaha, but why does Ji Jingchuan still look unhappy?]
[At least he didn't turn around and leave. Today is the day to see if Shang Que can suppress him.]
It was early, so there weren't many people. After everyone lined up to enter, they received a few park brochures. Feng Ye opened the map and looked at it. "The closest one is the carousel. Should we go there now?"
Qin Xian asked with a clear goal: "Where is the roller coaster?"
"Are you sure you want to try something so exciting right now?" Feng Ye reminded, "We just finished breakfast less than half an hour ago."
"That's right, don't spit it out on Shang Que." Ji Jingchuan said sarcastically.
Shang Que felt a little nauseous after hearing this. He frowned and kicked his heel: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
"I'm not Nokia. I can vomit on a roller coaster."
Zenoa made a big cross with his hands in front of him and said, "Please stop your personal attacks."
[Hahahaha, this reminds me of the group show going to the amusement park. Qi Noa only realized he was afraid of heights after riding the roller coaster. He almost died on it. It was Qin Xian and Bian Du who carried him down.]
If I were Qin Xian, I wouldn't lift him down and let him ride for another round.
【Nokia: You are a ginseng rooster! 】
[I've seen many living Bodhisattvas, but this is the first time I've seen a living King of Hell.]
Seeing this, Bian Du made a decision: "Let's go to the carousel first, then follow the route and ride the roller coaster."
No one had any objections, so they all headed to the carousel to line up. Soon it was their turn to enter, and Ji Jingchuan went in and sat directly on a family chair. He wanted to call Shang Que up, but she was already on the horse.
Ji Jingchuan curled his lips, turned his head, and suddenly met Qin Xian's eyes.
He grinned, "You also like to sit on the chair when you ride the carousel. It's safer."
Ji Jingchuan's expression fell and he turned his head away impatiently.
It would have been annoying if it wasn't Shang Que.
As the cheerful music sounded, the carousel started slowly and its speed gradually increased, and the whole audience was filled with laughter.
Only Ji Jingchuan remained expressionless. As soon as the base stopped, he immediately unlocked it and walked down, not wanting to stay even a second longer.
Coming out of the carousel, the rest of the people had smiles on their faces. Zenoya asked excitedly, "What's the next project?"
"Let me see," Feng Ye flipped open the map, "Wow, it's a roller coaster."
【Hahahaha, you are also a ginseng rooster, our Nokia. 】
【This is the first time I've seen the smile disappearing technique.】
[The smile didn't disappear, it just shifted to my face.]
Qin Xian persuaded him, "Maybe you won't be afraid of heights this time. How will you know if you don't go up and try it?"
Zenoa said with a look of resistance: "No, you guys go up, I'll just wait downstairs."
"Really?"
"Really," he nodded firmly, "I'm afraid of heights. I really can't go up."
"Okay," Bian Du looked at the others, "then-"
"I'm afraid of heights, too." Ji Jingchuan suddenly said, "I'm not going up either."
Qin Xian was puzzled: "When did you become afraid of heights?"
"She's been afraid of heights since she was born, what's wrong?" Ji Jingchuan immediately added, "Shang Que is also afraid of heights, so she won't go either."
Shang Que frowned: "Who told you I'm afraid of heights?"
"What else? Do you dare to jump out of the plane?"
【???】
[What a niche way of judging.]
[This isn't a question of whether you're afraid of heights or not, it's a question of whether you're going to die.]
Without waiting for Shang Que to say anything, Ji Jingchuan made the decision: "Since everyone has no objection, then it's decided. You guys go ride the roller coaster, and we'll try something else first. We'll meet up later."
There are many high-altitude projects in the amusement park, and Qin Xian looks like he wants to try one. Seeing this, Bian Du had no choice but to agree to this suggestion.
The troops split into two groups. After the three of them left, Qi Noya opened a live broadcast room on his mobile phone. He turned around and asked, "What are we going to play now?"
Ji Jingchuan: "Haunted house."
Huanhai Amusement Park has several haunted houses, the most recent of which is themed after the Chinese underworld. After buying tickets, the three of us stood at the entrance, a chilly wind blowing in from inside.
Zenoa shuddered: "I——"
"I'm scared." Ji Jingchuan said first, "Qinoa, you go ahead."
"Ah, ah?" Zenoa pointed at himself: "Me, me?"
【Nokia: I’m scared too!】
[I don't know why, but I feel like Ji Jingchuan has bad intentions.]
【Xiao Nuo is in danger.】
"Yes, you go in front." Ji Jingchuan explained seriously, "In fact, most of the time, ghosts rush out from behind to scare people. It is actually safest for you to be in the front."
Zenoa was skeptical: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. I can see you don't usually go to haunted houses." Ji Jingchuan frowned, his tone gradually becoming impatient. "Shang Que and I are following behind to protect you. What are you afraid of?"
Qi Noya was not very brave and had rarely been to a haunted house. After hearing what Ji Jingchuan said, he took a deep breath, lifted the curtain in front of him, and dived in.
After passing through a pitch-black, narrow corridor, they officially entered the haunted house. This was themed after the Eighteen Layers of Hell. A sinister red light cast a shadow on the walls, revealing instruments of torture like tongs, a mirror, and a frying pan. Occasionally, turning around, they could even see terrifying skeletons. Zenoya paused in fear and closed his eyes. The howling wind wailed like a ghost, a chilling feeling that seeped into his bones from all directions.
He shuddered: "Ji, Ji Jingchuan, are you still there?"
A hand rested on his shoulder, and Zenoa heaved a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're still here, I-"
He opened his eyes and turned around, and suddenly came face to face with a strange and ferocious bull head.
There was no trace of Ji Jingchuan and Shang Que behind him!
"Ah!!!" Zenoya screamed and turned around and ran away in fear. Suddenly, a rapid and terrifying drumbeat sounded in the haunted house. His eyes went dark, and then a faint green light lit up, illuminating the horse-faced demon standing two steps in front of him.
Qi Noya's eyes widened, and he looked to the left. Bai Wuchang had a strange expression on his face.
He smiled and looked to the right. He saw Hei Wuchang slowly approaching him with his long tongue dragging.
"Evil spirits are haunting souls, and the god of death is taking lives. It's time to get on the road... get on the road... "
Echoes echoed in the cold space, and Qi Noya shuddered all over and screamed in horror: "Ji Jingchuan, help me!!!"
The sound echoed throughout the haunted house. Ji Jingchuan stood at the door and said thankfully: "It was so scary. Fortunately, I didn't go in."
Shang Que frowned: "Are you sure this is okay?"
"What else?" Ji Jingchuan said confidently, "It's not like I didn't go in just now. I just turned back because I felt too scared after walking for a while."
"The distance you mentioned, do you mean before reaching the haunted house?" Shang Que heard the voice coming from inside and asked worriedly, "Are you really not going to save him?"
"No." He had finally found a way to get rid of these troublemakers, so how could he let Shang Que go back to find them?
Ji Jingchuan pretended to cover his chest and said, "I'm scared. I have a heart disease. I'll be scared to death if I go in."
Shang Que recognized the first tone of the word "dirty" and agreed, "You really do have a dirty heart."
Although Zenoa was timid, he had no physical illness. The staff at the haunted house knew how to handle the situation and didn't overscare him, so the screams soon stopped.
"Did you hear that? He's fine now." Ji Jingchuan said in an unhappy tone, "I really don't know why you care so much about others."
Shang Que looked at him blocking the door and suddenly asked, "Where are we going next?"
Ji Jingchuan's eyes lit up: "Do you want to eat ice cream?"
"Okay, you go get in line."
After coming out of the haunted house, Shang Que found a bench to sit down and rest, while Ji Jingchuan went to buy ice cream not far away.
Not long after, he returned with two ice cream cones and handed the pale pink one to Shang Que: "Peach flavor."
The one in his hand was a green matcha ice cream cone. Like Huanhai Paradise, this ice cream stand had been around for a long time. When they were kids, they'd each have one. Shang Que liked the sweet, clear peach flavor, while Ji Jingchuan preferred the rich, slightly bitter matcha.
Shang Que took it and took a bite, a little surprised: "The taste hasn't changed at all."
Ji Jingchuan paused and glanced at her. After a while, a hint of joy slowly appeared on his delicate and handsome face. He said "hmm": "Yes, it hasn't changed at all!"
