Chapter 120 Pretending



Looking at the timid Ye Xiaobo, Xia Baozhu pouted.

When there are many people around, this person acts like the boss, but now he's not even as good as a frail little girl.

(What? Who did you call frail? It's windy, I can't hear you.)

She thought he was just a brainless idiot and even wanted him to take the lead while she stayed behind. It seems she overestimated him.

What did that perverted Guan see in him?

Is it good looks? A nice sleeping posture? Pleasant breathing before waking up? Or pleasant snoring?

Is it the bowl of porridge I gave him when he was a child that he has always longed for?

Xia Baozhu was lost in thought when she placed her hand on the wainscoting and pretended to push it.

"Found it, the door is here!" she excitedly turned to Ye Xiaobo.

Ye Xiaobo also got excited. He grabbed the doorknob and pulled hard, but it wouldn't budge.

"How about we try pushing it?"

Xia Baozhu blinked her innocent, naive eyes and suggested in a sweet, coquettish voice.

Ye Xiaobo tried it, but it still didn't work.

“No, this door is locked, we can’t open it.” Ye Xiaobo shook his head.

"Isn't there a window over there? We can climb through the window." Xia Baozhu pointed to the curtains with a look of surprise, as if she had discovered a new continent.

"You're so smart." Ye Xiaobo came over, tapped Xia Baozhu's forehead, praised her, and quickly walked towards the curtains.

Xia Baozhu looked at his fingers and gave a cold laugh.

As Ye Xiaobo approached, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and waited for Xia Baozhu.

Xia Baozhu could tell at a glance that he was scared again; he was ridiculously timid.

It's no wonder Ye Xiaobo was scared; anyone who frequently watches horror movies would recognize a few classic scenes.

One of these is when the main character or a supporting character opens the curtains, a twisted and terrifying dead face suddenly appears from behind the glass.

They had messy, sparse hair, upturned, bony nostrils, deep red mouths, and bloodshot, terrifying, lifeless eyes that stared intently at the people inside.

An ordinary person with poor mental fortitude could be scared half to death, while a timid person could faint from fright.

Xia Baozhu walked over and asked innocently, "Why don't you open the curtains?"

She slowly drew back the curtains.

To be honest, Xia Baozhu's portrayal of a young girl was quite convincing; even the action of pulling the curtains conveyed a girl's gentleness and lightness, with an elegant demeanor.

This is related to her regular yoga practice to maintain her flexibility, as well as her prior dance experience, which has ingrained her sense of posture in her mind.

Ye Xiaobo blushed when he heard Xia Baozhu's innocent question; he also felt that he had made a fool of himself today.

Watching a horror movie and being inside a horror movie are completely different experiences.

There's a limit to how scared you can be when watching a movie, but in a real horror movie, your body is constantly and involuntarily gripped by fear, and you can't control it at all. You can't simply stop being scared if you want to.

You can't hide your love for someone, and you can't hide your fear either.

Although Ye Xiaobo was fooled by Xia Baozhu into believing that he had just had a nightmare, and he ostrich-likely believed it to be a nightmare, experience doesn't lie.

You can tell just by looking at his current state.

Because he was afraid, he dared not stray too far from Xia Baozhu and wished he could stay close to her.

As the curtains were drawn back, Ye Xiaobo was disappointed; it was nothing more than a decoration.

In his anger, he pulled back the other curtain, and sure enough, it was the same.

"What should we do? We can't get out." Xia Baozhu blinked her big, beautiful eyes, trying to squeeze out a single tear that would make one feel sorry for her.

Unfortunately, there was nothing there, only crystal-clear stupidity.

"Don't cry, let's look again." Ye Xiaobo was about to cry himself, but seeing the delicate and frail beauty about to cry first, he quickly comforted her.

"Don't worry, even if we can't get out now, they will let us go, and my family will come looking for me."

Ye Xiaobo wasn't worried about whether he could leave or not; he was sure he could. But he wanted to leave now.

He was eager to escape the room that haunted his nightmares.

He wanted to find out who had brought him in.

“My name is Zhuzhu, what’s your name?” Xia Baozhu suddenly asked.

"My name is Ye Xiaobo, you can just call me Xiaobo."

“Okay, Xiao Bo.” Xia Baozhu continued walking, her face showing a determined expression. “Let’s keep looking. I read in a book that in rooms like this, the owner would deliberately hide the key inside.”

"You read detective novels too?" Ye Xiaobo asked happily, feeling a sense of excitement that the beautiful woman shared his interests.

"Yes, I like reading." Xia Baozhu presented herself as a well-behaved girl.

"I have a lot of martial arts and detective novels at home. You can come to my house to read them after we get out."

Ye Xiaobo followed behind, looking at her slender shoulders and fair, delicate face, and a feeling of tenderness welled up in his heart.

She's such a lovely and clean girl, even more so than Zhu Xiuxiu, and not at all spoiled.

She was also the most beautiful and lovely girl he had ever seen.

Xia Baozhu opened all the drawers and looked through them, but of course there was nothing there.

She walked to the door again.

Should we resort to force?

"Do you know how to pick locks?" Xia Baozhu turned to look at the lecherous Ye Xiaobo.

This person was acting like he was going to die just a moment ago, but now his lustful desires have returned.

They weren't scared enough.

Upon hearing the question, Ye Xiaobo immediately became serious: "Yes, but I don't have the tools."

Most of the children in their compound know how to do it, but some are good at it while others can only open the simplest locks.

Xia Baozhu exclaimed with delight, "Xiao Bo, you're amazing! You can even pick locks! What tools do you need? I'll go find them!"
