Chapter 282 The one I will always love is you
The room was pitch black; you couldn't see anything.
Gu Jinci called out, "Jiang Ning, where are you?" while groping around.
Because the room was small, he quickly found someone, but when that person turned around, a ghostly head glowing white and covered in blood made Gu Jinci scream in fright.
"Gu Jinci?"
Jiang Ning accidentally touched the switch, and a sliver of light appeared in the pitch-black room.
The ghost head disappeared, and Jiang Ning saw Gu Jinci, while Gu Jinci also saw Jiang Ning.
"Jiangning!"
Gu Jinci was clearly terrified. He ran over and hugged Jiang Ning tightly.
Considering that Gu Jinci had said he was afraid of ghosts before entering the haunted house, Jiang Ning interpreted Gu Jinci's inappropriate behavior as him being frightened.
She pushed Gu Jinci away and comforted him, "It's all fake, just a holographic projection. You're a grown man, don't be so useless."
"Yeah, sorry, I'm so unmanly." Gu Jinci scratched the back of his head, still moving closer to Jiang Ning.
"That Jiangning..."
Gu Jinci grabbed Jiang Ning's hand. "My legs are a little weak... Could you help me walk?"
Jiang Ning wanted to refuse, but Gu Jinci looked so nervous that she was clearly terrified.
Jiang Ning remained silent.
She was afraid that if she didn't leave Gu Jinci, Gu Jinci would be frightened into something serious, so she had no choice but to pull Gu Jinci along with her.
Just then, they heard Gu Lanlan and Bai Yichen's anxious voices outside.
Gu Lanlan, in particular, has a very loud voice, and it's clear that she's only separated from them by a wall.
Jiang Ning was searching for the mechanism to open the door on the wall by the dim light.
Suddenly, the door opened by itself, and the room was instantly as bright as day.
Gu Lanlan was the first to rush into the room.
"Ah Ning, you're all alright..."
Before she could even utter the word "ba," Gu Lanlan saw Jiang Ning and Gu Jinci's hands clasped tightly together.
As soon as Gu Jinci saw Gu Lanlan, he immediately shook off Jiang Ning's hand, his face, which was turned away from Jiang Ning, revealing obvious disgust as well as apology and guilt towards Gu Lanlan.
Jiang Ning didn't see Gu Jinci's expression. She went up to Gu Lanlan, but before she could speak, Gu Lanlan suddenly turned and ran out of the room.
After leaving the haunted house, the atmosphere among the four became strange again.
Bai Yichen asked Jiang Ning in a low voice, "What exactly is Lanlan angry about? Does she think we're being a third wheel?"
"I don't know either……"
Jiang Ning shook his head.
When Gu Jinci volunteered to buy juice for everyone, Jiang Ning came to Gu Lanlan's side and asked, "Lanlan, what's wrong? Why are you unhappy?"
Gu Lanlan glared at Jiang Ning.
"You know perfectly well what's wrong with me."
"……What?"
Jiang Ning looked completely bewildered.
At this moment, Gu Jinci returned and distributed the different flavored juices to the others.
"It's getting dark, and our four-person date is almost over... I think... I'll watch the final fireworks show with Lanlan."
Jiang Ning and Bai Yichen exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.
The two of them were already meddling in Gu Lanlan's affairs by taking it upon themselves to investigate her boyfriend, and as a result, Gu Lanlan was unhappy several times throughout the day.
Jiang Ning and Bai Yichen naturally avoided each other.
Gu Jinci found a good spot and waited for the fireworks show with Gu Lanlan.
“Lanlan…”
Gu Jinci stretched out his index finger and poked Gu Lanlan's puffed-up cheek.
Did I do something to upset you?
Gu Lanlan pouted, and large tears welled up in her eyes.
Upon seeing Gu Lanlan shed tears, Gu Jinci panicked.
"Lanlan, don't cry!"
Gu Lanlan wasn't the type to keep things to herself, and Gu Jinci's concern made her feel even more wronged.
"Do you think Aning is prettier and more feminine than me?"
Why would you think that?
"Because I saw you and Aning hugging at the entrance of the amusement park, and you were even holding hands inside the haunted house..."
Gu Lanlan spoke the truth.
A cold smile flashed across Gu Jinci's eyes, but he was confident that Gu Lanlan wouldn't notice.
"Lanlan, you've misunderstood... Jiang Ning said she had low blood sugar, and I only asked her to support me because she's your friend... As for the haunted house..."
Gu Jinci's eyes darted around, and he stammered.
“I thought I was the only one afraid of ghosts… but Jiang Ning said she was afraid of ghosts too, and asked me to hold her hand… Lanlan, I think Jiang Ning, as your best friend, wouldn’t do something like seducing your best friend’s boyfriend…”
Gu Jinci gripped Gu Lanlan's hand tightly.
“I don’t want this to affect your friendship with Jiang Ning, or I’ll feel really guilty… So please don’t question Jiang Ning, just let it go! You have to believe me, the person I love will always be you…”
"……Um……"
Gu Lanlan nodded.
Then, the fireworks show began, with fireworks filling the sky, dazzling lights, and beautiful music.
Everything around was so beautiful, like a fairy tale. The most worthwhile thing about the amusement park was the fireworks show at night, and this was exactly what Gu Lanlan was looking forward to...
However, at this moment, Gu Lanlan was unable to concentrate.
Her thoughts were still on Jiang Ning and Gu Jinci embracing and holding hands.
Jiang Ning was the one who suggested this four-person date.
But after thinking about it carefully, Gu Lanlan wondered, who was actually on a date with whom?
Was Jiang Ning proposing this date in order to find an opportunity to get closer to Gu Jinci?
Thinking of this, Gu Lanlan felt a chill run down her spine.
She shouldn't think of Jiang Ning like that.
Moreover, Jiang Ning is a married woman!
However, Jiang Ning has now publicly proposed a divorce to Lu Junyan online.
Jiang Ning wants to divorce Lu Junyan, but refuses to accept Bai Yichen...
Could it be that Jiang Ning actually has his eye on Gu Jinci?
The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, unable to make sense of anything. Gu Lanlan wished she could mess up her carefully styled hair.
Gu Jinci sat next to Gu Lanlan, resting his chin on his hand, watching Gu Lanlan's conflicted and torn face. The smirk in his eyes was brighter than the fireworks above his head.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ning and Bai Yichen were also enjoying the fireworks.
They didn't choose any good spots because there were too many people.
They simply found a restaurant, drank water, and watched the fireworks, not caring that it was far away.
"You know...did I mess up today? Lanlan seems a bit unhappy..."
"She was unhappy, but I didn't know why she was unhappy."
Bai Yichen shrugged.
"But it's clear that Lanlan really likes Gu Jinci."
"So do you think Gu Jinci likes Lanlan?"
"He probably likes it!"
As Jiang Ning listened to Bai Yichen's words, she recalled how Gu Jinci had repeatedly taken the initiative to make physical contact with her earlier that day.
Although there were reasons for everything, she still couldn't help but frown.
Just then, the cell phone on the dining table rang. Bai Yichen picked it up first; it was Jiang Ning's phone.
What if I said I didn't want you to answer this call?
Bai Yichen handed the phone to Jiang Ning, who saw Lu Junyan's name on the caller ID.
