Chapter 77 Chapter 77 "You probably don't know."...
"You probably don't know." Jiang Zhi paused, then gave a smile that could almost be called provocative. "Wen Qian and I are neighbors."
It's no big deal for neighbors to have a meal together, Jiang Zhi thought casually. If Chu Lingyu gets angry about this—
He raised the corners of his mouth; that was exactly what he wanted.
"Neighbor?"
Chu Lingyu curled the corner of his mouth and said, "Tsk, who could be so bad, but it had to be this guy."
The noodle shop shouldn't have stopped Wen Qian from seeing him last time. At least they could have been prepared.
Chu Lingyu pulled out a chair and sat next to Wen Qian.
"Since this neighbor has finished eating, shouldn't he leave?" Chu Lingyu looked directly at Jiang Zhi. "I won't see you off."
They are just neighbors, aren’t they just strangers you see a few times?
How close can you be with your neighbors these days?
Chu Lingyu sat next to Wen Qian. He didn't notice Jiang Zhi's little thoughts. At this moment, he just felt a little unhappy about seeing his mortal enemy.
Seeing Chu Lingyu's sullen face but no sign of getting angry, Jiang Zhi paused. Has his temper improved?
"It's not your turn to teach me." Jiang Zhi withdrew his gaze.
Chu Lingyu glanced at him and felt that this man was really tactless. Was he staying here on purpose to be an eyesore?
He was too lazy to look at Jiang Zhi's face again, and only kept his gaze on Wen Qian. When he looked away, Chu Lingyu's eyes paused.
Jiang Zhi had his ears pierced—the earrings he was wearing...
Chu Lingyu frowned slightly, his eyes showing a hint of inquiry.
Jiang Zhi ignored Chu Lingyu and looked at Wen Qian, whose hair was a little messy after riding the roller coaster. He said, "Do you want to tie your hair up again?"
"Huh?" Wen Qian, who didn't care whether the two would fight or not because the mission restrictions had been lifted, was stunned.
"No need." She took off the hair tie that was about to fall off, put it in Jiang Zhi's hand, and hooked the hair behind her ear.
"It's okay, it won't interfere with my meal!" Wen Qian said cheerfully.
Chu Lingyu's eyes darkened for a moment, and his gaze slowly settled on the same earrings they were wearing, with a dim light in his eyes.
At this point, he certainly wouldn't think it was a coincidence.
Chu Lingyu looked at Jiang Zhi and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"
Jiang Zhi chuckled. He could feel that Wen Qian was not opposed to his approach. If that was the case, taking a further step should not be a big deal.
"What do you mean?" He said slowly, "Just as you thought."
Lin Huai and Zhou Zhu watched the two men's confrontation, not daring to breathe, and subconsciously looked at the person at the center of the incident. Wen Qian should be as uncomfortable as they are now -
Why is she still eating?!
"Wen Qian, aren't you worried?" Zhou Zhu asked in a low voice.
Wen Qian was stunned. What was he worried about? Had the mission restriction already passed?
Oh, forgot to tell them that!
She chewed faster, swallowed, and said, "It's okay, I've already solved the problem!"
Solved?
Lin Huai glanced at the two people who were smiling but not really smiling, and the atmosphere was tense, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
How come he didn't see where the solution was? Is it because he is nearsighted?
"Then what are they doing..." Zhou Zhu blinked and secretly pointed at the two people who had started to expose each other's secrets.
"Is it because of some conflicts in the past?" Wen Qian was not quite sure, "But it has nothing to do with us."
The keyword search did not find her name, so you can ignore it.
"Where are we going next?" Wen Qian looked at Lin Huai, who had the power to decide the itinerary, with sparkling eyes.
Lin Huai: ...
Is this what you're thinking about at such an important time?
Before he could react, he felt the gazes of the two people beside him fall on him subtly.
Lin Huai said with difficulty: "According to the plan, we are going to the haunted house later."
Chu Lingyu looked at Wen Qian's earrings and gritted his teeth. These were actually given to him by Jiang Zhi.
When did they meet? What did Wen Qian think of Jiang Zhi? These questions weighed on his mind.
...So Wen Qian stayed with Jiang Zhi all morning?
A sense of bitterness suddenly arose in Chu Lingyu's heart. He didn't say anything, but just pursed his lips and looked at Wen Qian.
"What's wrong?" Wen Qian saw Chu Lingyu's expression, thought for a moment, and came to a conclusion.
"Chu Lingyu, are you afraid of ghosts?"
"It's okay, just follow me when the time comes." Wen Qian patted Chu Lingyu, "If you're scared, you can hold my hand."
She thought for a moment and added, "If you're really scared, let's try something else. We'll go with whatever you like."
Chu Lingyu was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized: "No need to change."
"It's okay, let's go to the haunted house." He raised his hand, paused for a moment, and then naturally took Wen Qian's hand.
"Although I am a little scared, I can hold your hand." Chu Lingyu slowly tightened his fingers.
He looked up at the already expressionless man, raised an eyebrow and sneered.
"It's about time to go, neighbor."
Jiang Zhi looked at the two people's clasped hands with a serious look in his eyes. The atmosphere at the table was like a taut bowstring.
He suddenly chuckled and his eyes fell on Wen Qian: "Although we only agreed to go out in the morning, I am very interested in the haunted house."
"Can you take me with you, Wen Qian?"
"Hmm?" Wen Qian, who had just put down his chopsticks, raised his head. She didn't care. There were no more mission restrictions anyway. "I can do anything. What do you think, Chu Lingyu?"
Chu Lingyu: He wants him to get lost.
But he knew that he couldn't say this out loud, so he gritted his teeth and spoke word by word.
"Sure, I don't mind."
His expression didn't show any sign of disagreement, but Jiang Zhi didn't care.
Lin Huai and Zhou Zhu felt that the most exciting experience in this amusement park might be the trip to the haunted house.
Of course, the excitement doesn’t refer to the haunted house.
Lin Huai: "Are you afraid of ghosts?"
Zhou Zhu was silent for two seconds: "I was a little scared at first."
That means he is not afraid now. Lin Huai nodded in understanding. It is understandable. He is not afraid now.
After all, there are things more terrifying than this.
"Is Chu Lingyu really afraid of ghosts?" Zhou Zhu suddenly thought of this.
Lin Huai was speechless: "What do you think?"
He gestured to Zhou Zhu to look at the two people in front.
Jiang Zhi tried to separate the two people holding hands under the pretext of going to store something, but was sneered back by Chu Lingyu.
When Chu Lingyu and Wen Qian were talking, Jiang Zhi interrupted them without leaving any trace.
In just a short distance, the two men exchanged words countless times.
As for Wen Qian who was standing between them... she was sighing at the haunted house.
"It looks good!" She looked at Chu Lingyu and said casually, "You can't hit the staff."
Chu Lingyu was stunned: "Why would I hit the staff?"
"I'm worried you're too scared." Wen Qian thought for a moment and added, "If the staff are given the haunted house fear debuff, it will be bad for their career development."
She remembered the failed career advancement quest of a certain trumpet.
Chu Lingyu didn't understand, but that didn't stop him from climbing up the pole: "If I hold your hand, I won't be afraid."
Jiang Zhi's sneer reached his ears, but Chu Lingyu was too lazy to look at him and just pretended he didn't exist.
It’s best to separate from them once you enter the haunted house.
Wen Qian was still very interested in the haunted house. Looking at the building that was deliberately made to look old and dilapidated, she was very dissatisfied with the slow pace of the two people beside her.
"Hurry up, hurry up, let's go in now while there is no one around!" Wen Qian excitedly took Chu Lingyu's hand and walked towards the entrance of the haunted house, not forgetting to pull Jiang Zhi who was one step behind.
"Are you doing this on purpose?" Chu Lingyu clearly saw Jiang Zhi deliberately slowing down his pace.
He guessed that Wen Qian would not let him fall behind.
"When you have long legs, just walk by yourself." Chu Lingyu looked at Jiang Zhi impatiently who was doing this on purpose.
"You'd better say this to yourself first." Jiang Zhi sneered.
He knew that holding hands was normal given their relationship, but... his eyes darkened, and he really wanted them to separate.
As I walked into the corridor, the lights suddenly dimmed, leaving only a few dim lights that kept flickering as if they had poor contact, adding a sense of urgency to the space.
There was a strange beating sound coming from the ceiling, and as they walked towards the inner door, the beating sound became more and more intense.
When Wen Qian touched the door handle, the ceiling suddenly broke open, and a dangling white ghost shadow fell from the sky and rushed straight towards the people standing at the door.
Chu Lingyu reacted instantly, put his arm around Wen Qian's waist and pulled her into his arms, blocking the ghost that was rushing towards him.
The area near the inner door was a bit narrow and the visibility was poor. Chu Lingyu pressed the side wall with one hand to steady his movements, but he didn't expect that there was a trap set there.
——It’s not a wall, it’s a trapdoor.
The two figures disappeared from the spot.
Jiang Zhi's vision was blocked by the ghost, and he was a second late. When he walked forward, Chu Lingyu and Wen Qian had already fallen into the closed trap set in the haunted house.
Looking at the rescue notice on the trap door, Jiang Zhi's face instantly turned cold and he cursed under his breath.
In the slightly narrow space, Chu Lingyu came to his senses and found that their current actions were not good.
This small trap is not very spacious, and probably to prevent tourists from getting hurt, protective pads are made on all four walls.
When he came in, he subconsciously put himself at the bottom. When he looked up, he saw Wen Qian half lying on his chest.
Wen Qian looked confused. What was going on? Was there a mechanism in this haunted house?
That’s awesome!
She immediately thought of Chu Lingyu, who was afraid of ghosts, and quickly looked at him: "Were you scared just now, Chu Lingyu?"
Chu Lingyu's expression was not right, maybe he was really scared.
"It's okay, it's okay." She stood up, holding onto the wall. "There's nothing to be afraid of."
When she was about to stand up, Chu Lingyu suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her into his arms.
"Sorry." His voice was muffled. "Can you hold me for a minute? I'm a little scared."
Xiao Wen, who was suddenly hugged, tried to show his majestic figure to the frightened Chu: "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
She raised her hand to pat him, but because she couldn't see, she touched the side of his neck and rubbed her fingertips along the side of his neck.
Chu Lingyu's pupils suddenly contracted when he was touched, and he subconsciously let go of his hand.
He didn't know if it was because the space was too narrow, but he felt a little short of breath.
"What's wrong?" Wen Qian moved closer to him and looked at Chu Lingyu strangely as he suddenly fell silent.
"Nothing." His expression was unnatural and his voice was a little low.
Too close. He looked at Wen Qian in front of him, and these words suddenly emerged in his mind, his eyes still fixed on the person in front of him.
I should stay away from him. Chu Lingyu blinked slowly, feeling a little dizzy. After making this decision, his body did not move at all.
It is normal to be unable to move after being frightened. This is a stress response.
He wanted to calm himself down, his heart was beating too fast and she was too close.
Will she hear it?
