As soon as you enter the haunted house, a chilly wind hits you.
Presumably to achieve a better effect, they also sprayed some water.
The mist, when sprayed on sweaty skin, felt sticky and resembled blood.
The assistant was a girl, and I immediately got goosebumps.
Because it was a weekday, the only sounds in the haunted house were their footsteps and panting.
After rounding a bend, two clusters of eerie blue will-o'-the-wisps suddenly appeared ahead, and a hanged ghost with a blue face, fangs, and a long, scarlet tongue instantly appeared before them.
Beside them stood the Black and White Impermanence, their eerie cries echoing in drawn-out tones—
"A vengeful ghost is calling your soul, and the wrath of death is upon you; your time has come!"
After shouting, he suddenly grabbed the rope and pounced forward. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chu Xinxin shouted "Ahhh!" and then started running forward.
Shen Tianye followed closely behind.
The haunted house was a maze of interconnected paths with many forks, and Chu Xinxin quickly left everyone behind.
She ran to a place that resembled a hospital ward, where there was a rusty iron bed and a stained blanket. The blanket was not flat, and judging from the undulating lines, it seemed that a person was covered underneath.
There's only one way out; to get out, you have to go past that person.
Without a second thought, Chu Xin resolutely stepped forward.
As Chu Xinxin passed by the hospital bed, her ankle was suddenly grabbed by a cold hand. The hand startled her so much that she almost jumped up and ripped the ceiling off.
Chu Xinxin looked down and saw a face "shattered," made up with "car accident" makeup, its bloodied mouth grinning at her...
Holy crap!
Chu Xin's heart skipped a beat, and she almost stepped on the NPC.
The NPC removes the lifelike mask: "Stomp on it, stomp on your own face."
Beneath the mask lies Chu Xinxin's true face...
"Shen Tianye!" Chu Xinxin was embarrassed and angry after losing face in front of him.
Shen Tianye crawled out from under the bed and said in a particularly irritating way, "Coward."
Chu Xinxin snorted and walked to a chair next to her, squeezing in with the real NPC.
The NPC paused for a moment, and Chu Xinxin smiled kindly: "Your place is the coolest in the whole haunted house. Can I borrow this spot to escape the heat?"
The NPC looked at her, then turned its head to the right.
Shen Tianye, holding his phone, said expressionlessly, "Hi."
The two of them were thinking the same thing.
NPC: ......The last time I was this speechless was the last time.
This chair is like the relationship between three people; it's just right for two, but too crowded for three.
The NPC wisely went back to lie under the bed.
Chu Xinxin sat next to Shen Tianye and played on her phone for a while. Feeling sleepy and tired, she wanted to lean against the bed and take a nap, but she actually fell asleep.
Shen Tianye could have stayed awake for a while longer, but seeing Chu Xinxin sleeping so soundly, his eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and he leaned his head against the wall and fell asleep as well.
The air conditioning in the haunted house was really strong. As Shen Tianye slept, he felt colder and colder. As he moved around, he bumped into Chu Xinxin.
Chu Xinxin was using his original body. Generally speaking, men's body temperature is higher than women's, so Shen Tianye's body came into contact with Chu Xinxin's, and his head rested on hers.
He had been on edge for the past few days, but now that he had suddenly relaxed, some of the anxieties he had been suppressing came to the surface.
Shen Tianye began to dream.
He dreamt that he and Chu Xinxin could never be brought back together in this lifetime. Chu Xinxin completely blacklisted him, and there was no place for him in the entertainment industry of Country C anymore.
Chu Xinxin even deliberately came to him to show off, squandering the Shengtian Group that he had worked so hard to build.
Enraged, Shen Tianye broke through layers of bodyguards, rushed forward, grabbed Chu Xinxin's arm, and bit down with all his might.
Chu Xinxin's face contorted instantly, but a sudden pain shot through her arm.
Shen Tianye shuddered and woke up instantly. He looked down and saw Chu Xinxin staring blankly at him, seemingly not understanding why she was biting his arm.
Her lips were a little moist. Chu Xinxin licked her lips, and the taste was somewhat like rust... it was blood.
Their eyes gradually cleared, and then they saw each other's faces—
Chu Xinxin saw Shen Tianye's face, and Shen Tianye saw Chu Xinxin's face.
They got it back!?
"How did you switch it back?"
Chu Xinxin's tone even seemed a little unsatisfied, as if she didn't particularly want to switch back.
Shen Tianye moved a little further away without making a sound, half-lifted his eyelids, and glanced sideways at Chu Xinxin.
Seeing his contemptuous look, Chu Xinxin wanted to pounce on him and bite him again to get back to him.
Seeing Chu Xinxin's anger and helplessness, Shen Tianye remained expressionless, but was in a very good mood. Just as he was about to provoke her by saying that the electronic contract from this morning was void, the amusement park's announcement suddenly came on—
"Mr. Shen Tianye, Ms. Chu Xinxin, your assistants need to speak with you urgently. Please proceed to the amusement park's broadcasting station immediately after hearing this announcement. Your assistants are waiting for you here... Oh, sir, you can't go in here."
The female announcer's voice was immediately drowned out by the security guard's voice, and then Liu An's voice came over the loudspeaker: "President Shen, President Chu, I quit! I want to resign!"
Shen Tianye and Chu Xinxin exchanged a glance: Oh no, we've completely angered them.
......
In the broadcasting room, Liu An sat on a stool, looking utterly despondent.
Upon seeing Chu Xinxin and Shen Tianye, he took out a resignation letter from his pocket and handed it to Shen Tianye.
“You turned off the microphones and the live stream, and even ditched the cameramen. I can’t fabricate something out of nothing, so Mr. Shen, you should find someone else… Chu Xinxin, what are you doing?”
Chu Xinxin sat on the ground, squeezing out tears and quickly grabbing Liu An's hand to stop him: "Director Liu, it's all my fault, sob sob sob, please don't resign."
Seeing that she was crying so sincerely, Liu An couldn't help but ask her what she had done wrong.
"My mistake was listening to President Shen and secretly hiding away, making you all worry..."
Shen Tianye: ......
After saying this, Chu Xinxin sobbed a few more times: "I shouldn't have let you come all this way to see us at your age, Director Liu, I'm so sorry."
Chu Xinxin used a timid, regretful, and pitiful voice to say the last sentence, which, combined with her tearful appearance, was extremely effective.
Liu An's tone immediately softened: "Get up first."
"I won't get up, I was wrong, I want to be punished, I'm a sinner, sob sob sob..." Chu Xinxin was addicted to crying.
"I won't forgive you if you don't get up..." Liu An had a headache.
Before Liu An could finish speaking, Chu Xinxin got up from the ground and stood up, her tears gone: "Okay, Director Liu, thank you for forgiving me. But you're not allowed to mention resigning again."
He also took Liu An's resignation letter and destroyed it on the spot.
Liu An & Shen Tianye: ......
