Chapter 54 First Visit to the Haunted House
Yaoguang Daxian: [President Yu, the other side has already shifted the blame to Fu Shao's ex-boyfriend, and there are many comments stirring up trouble on the platform.]
Yu Jingchen clicked on the screenshot below.
[Fu Yanle seems to have an ex-boyfriend, right? It's said he really liked her and pursued her for a long time, but she was just playing around.]
Isn't this just being a simp? What about his sugar daddy? Is he trying to have both financial security and love? Can't he handle both?
I have a wealthy friend in the industry who heard that Fu Yanle's ex-boyfriend was a second-generation rich kid, but he went bankrupt. I wonder if that's why they broke up.
Fu Yanle is decked out in designer brands; even a casual necklace costs tens of thousands of yuan. Her boyfriend went bankrupt, so of course she can't afford to support him.
...
Yaoguang Daxian: [The person behind this probably knows Fu Shao's identity and also knows that he and Su Fengyao had an extremely unpleasant past that doesn't need to be recalled (obediently) (clasped hands). These comments are trying to portray Fu Shao as a scumbag and a vain, money-grubbing simp (of course, in my opinion, Fu Shao is the most wonderful person in the world) (kneeling).]
Knowing that Su Fengyao was dissatisfied with Yan Le, yet still willing to spend money to hire online trolls?
Yu Jingchen frowned slightly, already having guessed. He replied, "Let it ferment for a while, then you can start working on it. First, reverse the public opinion about the 'ex-boyfriend,' and bring the focus back to the sugar daddy."
"Brother Chen."
Fu Yanle came out of the bathroom. "I'm ready. Let's go."
"Okay." Yu Jingchen put his phone down beside him and led Fu Yanle to the signage screen. "Where do you want to go?"
Fu Yanle was blinded by the brightly colored fluorescent lights. He pointed randomly and said, "Let's go to this one, the haunted house. I've always wanted to go, but I've never been."
Haunted house… Yu Jingchen paused.
"I really want to go and have some fun!" Fu Yanle looked at him longingly.
“Okay, I’ll go with you.” Yu Jingchen glanced at the detailed address of the haunted house, then turned around with Fu Yanle. “Why haven’t we been there before?”
“Because Lu Minghe’s courage is even smaller than his heart! Once, I finally managed to persuade him, but as soon as we got to the haunted house, two girls ran out crying, which scared Lu Minghe so much that he abandoned me and ran away. I was so angry!” Fu Yanle reached out and grabbed Yu Jingchen’s sleeve. “You’re obviously braver than a ghost, so you definitely wouldn’t abandon me and run away, right?”
Yu Jingchen reached out and rubbed the back of his head, saying, "I don't know how."
As the two entered the elevator, Yu Jingchen felt his phone vibrate and couldn't help but glance at Fu Yanle out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that the other was examining the veins on his wrist, he quickly picked up his phone.
Yaoguang Daxian: [However, it's difficult to clarify the details regarding the sugar daddy unless Fu Shao's family relationships are directly disclosed.]
Yu Jingchen replied: [Don't bring the Fu family into the open. Release a few photos of Yanle as a child to show he had a wealthy upbringing. Also, post a few photos of Yanle attending parties.]
Yu Jingchen felt a gaze fixed on his face. He paused for a moment, then put down his phone with a normal expression.
“Brother Chen, do you know what you look like right now?” Fu Yanle narrowed his eyes. “You look exactly like a scumbag who goes out with his girlfriend but still secretly contacts members of his fishing pond.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Jingchen paused for a moment, then said, "I didn't." He proactively handed over his phone, explaining, "I was just giving instructions to the person in charge at Yaoguang. You can check it."
"Oh?" Fu Yanle reached for his phone, and under Yu Jingchen's serious gaze, touched his hand. "I won't check. There's no need. Because you can't prevent it, and I trust you."
The elevator doors opened, and Fu Yanle dragged Yu Jingchen out, heading straight for the ticket machine in front of the haunted house. Upon opening it, they were immediately dazzled by the colorful themes and activities.
Yu Jingchen took the opportunity to pick up his phone again.
Yaoguang Daxian: [But I don't have any photos of Fu Shao when he was little! (scratching his head)]
Yu Jingchen quickly opened the photo album, selected a few photos, and sent them, replying: "Now that the second round of maneuvering is over, let the person behind it pay the price for their actions."
Yaoguang the Immortal: [Okay! (Writing in his notebook)]
“Brother Chen, let’s play this.” Fu Yanle pulled Yu Jingchen over and pointed to the black and green pictures on the big screen. “Shadow School. Six people per round, two people per team. The task is very simple. You just need to find the key and open the passage door. The first person to complete the task will receive an exclusive gift from our store.”
"I'll do whatever you say." Yu Jingchen scanned the code to pay.
The two waited in the waiting room for nearly half an hour before being blindfolded and embarking on their first haunted house adventure, while the other two groups entered the haunted house through different passages.
The game's start notification sounded all around, and Fu Yanle quickly removed his blindfold. Before him stood a rusty iron gate, its old bars creaking dully in the air as he pushed it open. The gate swung open, releasing a whiff of rust mixed with mildew.
"yue!"
Fu Yanle stepped through the threshold first. Directly in front of them was a dark passageway. As they moved forward, eerie green shadows would occasionally appear on the walls on both sides. Large areas of the walls were splattered with something that looked like paint or pigment, making it impossible to discern their exact shape. However, a red circle about the thickness of an arm was drawn around the center, and a blood-red doll was impaled in the center of the circle with a knife.
A breeze blew through the corridor, chilling him to the bone. Just as Fu Yanle reached up to touch the back of his neck, the door behind him suddenly slammed shut!
"Ah!" Fu Yanle jumped up instinctively and bumped into Yu Jingchen.
Yu Jingchen steadied himself, reached out and touched his ear, his voice a little unsteady, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, touch your ear."
The ghost hadn't even appeared yet, and he was already jumping up in fright—that's not the style of a tough guy!
Fu Yanle took a breath and immediately pulled away from Yu Jingchen's embrace. His voice was filled with disdain for evil forces and the confidence of a strong man, "I'm not afraid. Follow me, and I'll show you what it means for a tough guy to leave no ghosts behind!"
The next second, Fu Yanle sprinted forward at the speed of a fifty-meter dash!
In the world of martial arts, speed is the only way to break through defenses.
As long as he's fast enough, even ghosts can't scare him!
Fu Yanle rushed forward for a few seconds, then braked suddenly in front of the handrail stairs. Without turning his head, he waved, "Brother Chen, Brother Chen, come quick!"
Yu Jingchen grabbed his hand from behind, his grip a little tight, but Fu Yanle was engrossed in his task and didn't notice, pulling Yu Jingchen straight up to the second floor.
There was a long corridor in front of the staircase. The second floor was a bit brighter than the first floor. Fu Yanle could see the paintings on both sides of the wall and the densely packed blood dolls, which gave him goosebumps.
There was a fork in the road on both sides. Fu Yanle turned around and asked, "Your Majesty—ahhhhhh!"
Fu Yanle's throat gleamed with an astonishing light in the pitch black!
Not far behind Yu Jingchen stood a female ghost dressed in red, her skin paler than if she had been dead for three days, her hair disheveled, and her slightly protruding eyes staring at them eerily.
Upon realizing she had been discovered, the female ghost tilted her head slightly, then stiffly opened her mouth.
Just then, a strange piece of music started playing in the corridor, and countless footsteps rushed in from all directions, crowding into the ears of the two of them.
The next second, a sinister creaking sound came from behind Fu Yanle, and a door quietly opened.
Fu Yanle: "Ahhh, damn it!"
Upon seeing this, the female ghost straightened her head, let out a sudden shriek, and stretched out her pale, sharp fingertips to grab at Yu Jingchen. Yu Jingchen, whether he was caught off guard or not, showed no intention of dodging.
Upon seeing this, Fu Yanle channeled his inner muscular man, stepped forward, pushed Yu Jingchen aside, and stretched out his ten fingers to fight the female ghost. "You bad woman, you scared me to death! I'm going to pry off your contact lenses and shove them in your mouth!"
Female ghost: ...Holy crap, what a ruthless guy!
The hands of the human and the ghost danced wildly and directionlessly in mid-air, and finally, in a very strange and perfectly matched direction, their fingers intertwined.
The man and the ghost froze, and a sudden tension filled the air.
Fu Yanle's specially prepared fisherman's hat was shaken to the ground during the battle between humans and ghosts. His medium-length curly hair was haphazardly draped over his face, and his eyebrows and eyes above the mask were delicate and beautiful. He was obviously a handsome guy.
The female ghost hesitated and took half a step back, "...Eek."
Yu Jingchen seemed to have just come to his senses and immediately went forward to take Fu Yanle's hand. At this moment, the female ghost twisted her waist seductively.
Suddenly, the fabric around her waist came off, and a section of her intestines spilled out.
Completely unaware, she rolled her eyes at Fu Yanle, her completely black pupils rolling upwards menacingly before turning completely white again.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"
Startled, Fu Yanle immediately dropped his newly bought hat and grabbed Yu Jingchen, running frantically forward while yelling, "The one chasing me is a dog!"
The female ghost slowed her pursuit, then unleashed her full 50-meter sprint speed, shouting, "Don't run—stay and be my dinner!"
"Eating human flesh is illegal! You're going too far!" Fu Yanle said, pulling Yu Jingchen forward while looking left and right. Then he dragged Yu Jingchen into the classroom with a sign that read "No Strangers Allowed."
As soon as the door closed, Fu Yanle leaned against it, his throat pumping wildly.
Yu Jingchen held his hand tightly, and the two of them broke out in a sweat in the winter room.
The sound of a female ghost scratching at the door came from outside. Fu Yanle breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look into the classroom, and almost had a heart attack the next second!
In the square classroom, a doll dressed in a black and white checkered school uniform was hanging in every corner, and its dead posture was extremely bizarre: one was doing a split, one had both legs bent above its head, one was sitting like a duck, and one was smelling its own stinky feet.
What's really sweet is that a knife was used to poke my butt; it opened my eyes!
“The most dangerous place is the safest place. There’s a warning sign on the door of this classroom, so maybe the key is here.” Fu Yanle reached out to pull Yu Jingchen, but couldn’t budge him.
He turned his head and saw Yu Jingchen pressed between the corner of the door and the corner of the wall, his right hand placed beside his leg, clenched into a fist, his eyes closed, his brows furrowed, looking very weak and pitiful.
Perhaps because of the environment, Yu Jingchen's face was even somewhat pale.
Seeing this, Fu Yanle panicked and quickly went over to hug Yu Jingchen's head, "Brother Chen, are you feeling unwell?"
"No...no." Yu Jingchen reached out and pressed his hand on the back of Fu Yanle's neck, rubbing it soothingly. "I'm just tired from running."
You're kidding me!
Fu Yanle reached out his finger and gently poked Yu Jingchen's drooping eyelids, his tone hesitant.
"Brother Chen, are you afraid of ghosts?"
Author's Note:
I was woken up by my alarm at 7 a.m., turned it off, and didn't open my eyes again until 11:29 a.m. Life is full of challenges; I'll face them again tomorrow!
