The three words "most important," which were neither written nor spoken, immediately moved Lu Lin.
He patted Tang Wan's head, then picked her up and took her to the treehouse to sleep.
The treehouse was full of little ones; it was a large dormitory where all the children slept.
Girls sleep on one side, and boys sleep on the other side.
Both beds were covered with plush toys, making them look incredibly gentle.
Someone placed a white plush cat doll in Tang Wan's hand, complete with a crown that is unique to cat dolls.
Her beautiful blue eyes, like the starry sky and the ocean, brought a sense of peace and tranquility.
Tang Wan rested her chin on the head of the kitten plush toy and gently rubbed it against it, looking somewhat lazy and content.
Gou Xi sat down next to Tang Wan, holding a golden monkey doll, and pushed the restless Lu Ze aside. Wearing the same pajamas as Tang Wan, she enthusiastically started a conversation about children at night.
The smile on her face was somewhat sly, like a little fox about to hatch a wicked plan.
She hugged Tang Wan beside her and suggested, "How about we talk about something that can only be discussed tonight?"
Tang Wan glanced at Gou Xi out of the corner of her eye and saw the keen interest in her eyes, knowing that she had been prepared for this.
But Tang Wan wasn't the type to dampen her friend's spirits, so she nodded in agreement.
To make it even more sincere, Tang Wan clapped her hands.
It was just like coaxing a little monkey that couldn't hide its emotions, just by matching her expression.
But none of the children present cared.
Perhaps it's not accurate to say they don't care at all; at least Su Jiajia cares quite a bit.
Having been reborn, she still believed in some of those superstitious things.
Otherwise, how would you explain your rebirth?
Everyone has their own complete system of logic, and within this system, no one can convince another.
So when she heard Gou Xi's suggestion, her first reaction was—
Is this little thing trying to tell a ghost story?
That's incredibly bold!
However, what people fear most is often what they are most likely to encounter.
The next second, Gou Xi's voice rose slightly as she said, "Let's tell ghost stories!"
Su Jiajia: !!!
Su Jiajia's face turned pale instantly.
In the instant her brain went blank, Su Jiajia subconsciously looked at the speechless Tang Wan and blurted out, "But Tang Wan can't speak, how can she talk?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Jiajia clearly saw that the smile on Gou Xi's face vanished instantly.
She also felt several strong gazes fixed on her; those gazes were anything but friendly, and were even somewhat terrifying.
Yes, it terrified her.
I felt like I was in a wild jungle, being watched by ferocious wild beasts.
Su Jiajia dared not make any rash moves, fearing that they would bite her to death.
Finally, in the silence when no one spoke, Tang Wan took out her tablet from the pocket in front of her stomach and began to write carefully on it—
[I can add background music]
I also casually drew a cute cat head.
The moment she raised her tablet, Su Jiajia felt the cold gazes around her vanish instantly, making her subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, the next second, a high-pitched suona horn sounded in the room, making everyone's ears hurt.
Gou Xi quickly pressed down on Tang Wan's tablet and turned off the sound.
Then, rubbing his aching ears, he unusually snapped at Tang Wan, "Tangtang! My ears are going to go deaf!"
"I'll turn into a crayfish then!"
Tang Wan blinked, not understanding Gou Xi's lame joke.
Finally, Lu Ze explained to Tang Wan, "The crayfish is both deaf and blind."
Tang Wan still didn't react, as if she didn't get the joke.
But nobody seemed to care.
Just as Tang Wan cared about all of them, they also cared about Tang Wan.
Gou Xi glanced at Su Jiajia and then said, "Tangtang can accompany us. There are so many of us and so many ghost stories. We might not even finish telling them by the time we go to sleep."
At this point, would Su Jiajia dare to have any objections?
He dared not have any, and could only nod with a pale face, then sit down next to Li Yu.
There was no other way; among this group of brats, only Li Yu had a place left next to him.
Li Yu is also the only one who doesn't reject Su Jiajia.
However, the moment Su Jiajia sat down, Li Yu slowly shifted his position, moving a little further away from Su Jiajia.
Su Jiajia didn't miss this little detail.
She wouldn't think that Li Yu was trying to please her; she would only think that Li Yu, like the other children, was looking down on her.
She subconsciously clenched her fists, and by the time she regained control of her emotions, Gou Xi's ghost story had already begun.
Gou Xi described the scene vividly, even lowering her voice for effect: "In a secluded and remote mountain village, there lives a group of people isolated from the world. They work at sunrise and rest at sunset, living busy lives every day, and hardly ever yearning for the outside world..."
Tang Wan listened to the intro and quickly found the matching "underworld music".
The chilling instrumental music, combined with Gou Xi's exaggerated vocals and deliberately lowered voice, created an immersive experience.
Tang Wan doesn't believe in these things.
Therefore, she felt no fear.
Lu Ze, who was right next to her, didn't have that much courage.
Tang Wan felt a cold hand grab her wrist. She instinctively turned her head to look, only to see a face that seemed to be on the verge of tears.
It's Lu Ze.
He was practically pressed against Tang Wan, whispering in a voice only she could hear, "Tangtang, no, no, don't be afraid..."
Tang Wan sighed, took Lu Ze's hand, and nodded.
Okay.
Just consider it as my own fear.
Give your little nephew some face.
Gou Xi loves telling ghost stories. In the past, when she told ghost stories, everyone would run far away, so she didn't have a chance to perform.
But today is different!
No one can escape!
She completely let loose!
"Strangely, this mountain village only has men and children, no women..."
"There's no sign of a woman all day long, so where did the child come from?"
“I am a volunteer teacher. On my first night in this mountain village, I couldn’t sleep. This mountain village, which has a fairly large population, was surprisingly lively at night.”
Lu Ze was so frightened that he closed his eyes, grabbed Tang Wan's hand, and trembled so badly that he was almost unrecognizable.
He was still muttering the Eight Honors and Eight Shames under his breath.
"Take pride in loving your country and be ashamed of harming it..."
