Chapter 17: The Haunted House in the Amusement Park
It was Saturday, Huo Juncheng didn't have to go to work and Lin Yilan didn't have to go to class. After breakfast, he decided to take her to the amusement park.
Lin Yilan has been here for so long, but he has never spent enough time with her, which has inevitably become a regret in his heart.
"Amusement park?" Lin Yilan's eyes flickered with joy. She had no idea what was in the amusement park, but just hearing the name told her it must be a fun place. Then the joy faded. "You're still in the danger zone, so it's best not to go out."
"With you here, what should I be afraid of?" Huo Juncheng had already witnessed how capable Lin Yilan was during the past half month of getting along with her. Not to mention a few minions, even a team of well-trained special forces might not be able to escape unscathed if they met Lin Yilan.
How could Lin Yilan not be dizzy after being praised like this by Huo Juncheng?
The key is that there are many delicious and fun things on the street that deeply attract her.
"You finally understand how powerful I am."
"Yes, Lady Lin, you are the best in the world."
“Hahahaha… let’s go!”
Lin Yilan left as soon as she said she would, and disappeared in the living room like the wind in an instant.
As soon as she entered the amusement park, Lin Yilan fell in love with it.
Bumper cars, she loves them!
Pirate ship, she loves it!
Roller coasters, she loves them!
The more thrilling and adventurous it is, the more she likes it.
Huo Juncheng, who had no chance to experience these things, could only stand on the periphery and watch her having fun like a fish in water.
Lin Yilan, who had lost count of how many roller coasters she had ridden, started looking for Huo Juncheng as soon as she got off.
Every time he would stand there waiting for her to come down, but this time he was nowhere to be seen.
Lin Yilan's heart tightened for no reason, and she shouted loudly: "Huo Juncheng, Huo Juncheng, Huo Juncheng..."
Because her voice was so loud, everyone within a radius of several hundred meters turned around and looked at her.
Not finding the familiar face, Lin Yilan gathered her inner strength and was about to roar like a lion when a clear voice sounded behind her.
"I'm here!"
When she suddenly heard the familiar voice, Lin Yilan felt relieved. She turned around and wanted to grab his collar to question him, but what she saw was a big bunch of pink balloons.
"Balloon?" Lin Yilan instantly forgot her anger and stared at the balloon in front of her.
For eighteen years, she hasn't even touched a balloon, let alone a toy. Her only memory is the small red balloon her mother bought her eighteen years ago when she was still alive.
When she saw the balloon, she thought of her mother and her eyes became moist.
Huo Juncheng, who was behind the balloon, poked his head out and was startled when he saw Lin Yilan like this: "Why are you crying?"
"I...thought of my mother. She also bought me balloons..." Lin Yilan began to sob.
"Don't cry, I will buy you as many balloons as you want in the future." Huo Juncheng, who had never coaxed a girl before, seemed a little helpless.
"real?"
"Um!"
"Then these balloons..."
"It's all yours."
Lin Yilan took all the balloons from his hand without hesitation, touching this one and popping that one, like a curious baby.
Looking at her innocent self who was content with a bunch of balloons, a strange light flashed across Huo Juncheng's eyes.
The more they get along, the more shining points Lin Yilan becomes, and the more attracted she is to him. He can't explain why, he just knows that he likes such a naive woman.
The important thing was that she could survive anywhere. She could protect herself no matter who she met. Even more importantly, her body was warm, and it could keep him warm too.
The only drawback is that she eats too much. She eats up all the leftover food on the table by herself. As long as the plates she has eaten from are reflected in them, she doesn't have to wash them at all.
His childhood friend, Zheng Ronglan, once joked that if he ever started a livestream show about big eaters, he would definitely invite Lin Yilan to be the host. With her in charge, it would definitely be a huge hit, and she would become the most popular internet celebrity.
He didn't dare tell Lin Yilan about this. With her foodie personality, she would really drop everything and become a food broadcaster.
"What is that?" Lin Yilan asked, pointing.
Following her finger, Huo Juncheng saw a little girl led by her mother, licking the ice cream in her hand as she walked.
"That's ice cream, do you want to eat it?" Huo Juncheng asked.
"I do!" Lin Yilan licked her lips.
"Wait, I'll buy it for you."
"oh!"
Huo Juncheng merged into the crowd.
Lin Yilan continued to play with the balloons on her fingers, blowing and popping them, and bursting into laughter from time to time.
Ten minutes...
Fifteen minutes...
After twenty minutes, Lin Yilan began to tiptoe to look for him in the crowd.
Thirty minutes passed, and Huo Juncheng still hadn't returned.
Lin Yilan panicked and started shouting loudly as she moved through the crowd, "Huo Juncheng, Huo Juncheng, Huo Juncheng..."
This time, no matter how many times she shouted, there was no voice of Huo Juncheng behind her.
Her expression became increasingly serious. She stopped, found a commanding height, jumped up, and landed steadily on it.
His eyes searched for Huo Juncheng in the crowded crowd.
Suddenly, a person with strange movements at the edge caught her attention.
The man looked around, took out his cell phone and made a call, then entered a more remote entrance of the amusement park.
There are two big words written on the entrance: Haunted House!
There is a line of words next to it: The faint of heart beware!
In the entire amusement park, every attraction was crowded with people, except for the haunted house, which had very few people. Many children were scared and left when they saw the shape of the haunted house.
"Haunted house? Humph, I want to see what kind of ghost it is." Lin Yilan tied the balloon to a pillar, jumped down from the commanding heights, and ran towards the haunted house.
In her experience, the person making the stealthy phone call just now wasn't a good person. This was an amusement park, and most people who came here were families. The person who made the call and chose to go to a secluded place was the most suspicious.
Besides, Huo Juncheng would not disappear for no reason, nor would he leave alone. The only possibility is that he was kidnapped again.
Places like haunted houses, where few people often go, are the best places for Tibetans.
Lin Yilan ran to the entrance of the haunted house and was about to go in when she was stopped by the ticket seller at the door: "I want to go in and buy a ticket."
"How much?" In order not to attract attention, Lin Yilan gave up on forcing her way in and decided to buy a ticket to go in.
"Thirty-five dollars per person."
Lin Yilan paid for the ticket and walked in.
After entering, she found that this haunted house was actually a converted air-raid shelter. It had a long corridor and many branching roads. She didn't know which way to go for a moment.
Finally, she listened carefully at every fork in the road.
There were four forks in the road. At three of them, she could faintly hear voices and the occasional scream. She decisively chose the fourth path, which was completely silent.
Since we want to hide people, we must choose a place where there are no people. The fourth way is the most suitable.
