Chapter 169 - The Haunted House? (2/2)

Tang Xia felt desolate in her heart. At that moment, she felt the warmth of Zhang Yaoyao’s hands holding hers. So she said “yes” with a forced smile.

The guys and gals made all manner of quips and jokes along the way. Eventually, they drove to Longshan County. But they didn’t expect that the villa of Dabing’s uncle would be in the mountains!

“Ah! It’s too far away! I don’t want to go!” Zhang Yaoyao stayed in the car and didn’t want to move. Thinking of the long mountain road, she lost the energy to walk.

“It’s not too far from here. We just need to walk for an hour and we’ll get there soon.”

Dabing took the opportunity to persuade her. “My uncle’s villa is very well-decorated! There is a big garden full of roses, a large open-air swimming pool, and decoration like European architecture. Think about the soft king-size bed, the medium-well steak, and the red wine from the 80s…”

Like Zhang Liang, Dabing drew a magnificent picture in Zhang Yaoyao’s mind.

“What’s do you think? Are you tempted?” Dabing got close to Zhang Yaoyao naughtily with a face like a big pancake.

She was tempted and even excited! Zhang Yaoyao imagined the villa on the other side of the mountain road with a wonderful fantasy. She could hardly wait to rush to it at once. However… It was better to kill her than walk on the mountain road for an hour.

Her ideal was wonderful but the reality of so much luggage and such a hard journey was cruel. “I don’t think I can walk that far.” With a mournful face, Zhang Yaoyao sadly buried her head in Tang Xia’s neck.

“Tang Xia! It’s up to you. I’ll go if you say yes. But if you say no…” Zhang Yaoyao was in as much pain as if she had been cut. Her eyes closed and opened to look at Tang Xia firmly. “…I won’t go!”

“…” Unexpectedly, Tang Xia needed to make the final decision. She was very hesitant because no one knew more about what the results would be for them after they arrived at the villa than she did. But she only knew the results and didn’t know much about the process…

Looking at Zhang Yaoyao, who relied entirely on her, Tang Xia couldn’t say a word indeed. She knew what would happen. But when she entered the story, she knew that what was going to happen was part of the climax.

She couldn’t avoid it, or in other words, she had to experience the matters in the story personally.

Well, obviously, she couldn’t say that to Zhang Yaoyao. Tang Xia was really in a dilemma…

She could not look directly at Zhang Yaoyao’s eyes that were depending on her, even though she knew they were only virtual characters in the story, just a set of code or data.

However, she had been familiar with Chu Tiankuo, so she couldn’t be indifferent to them.

She knew that it was absurd and ridiculous. But in fact, she did think so. Meanwhile, she suddenly covered her mouth and stared with astonishment.

God! What was she thinking? Why did she see Chu Tiankuo in a new light? Even if he was a set of crazy and unusual data, he was still a set of data. He was still virtual, not in the real world!

For an instant, it was so amazing to see her face looking green and red. And the others strangely looked at her reactions, which were a mixture of embarrassment and astonishment. They were very much in the dark themselves!

“Tang Xia, what are you thinking about?” Zhang Yaoyao shook Tang Xia’s arm, feeling very strange. She just asked Tang Xia a question. And why did Tang Xia show such complicated expressions?

“Ah?” Tang Xia was called back to her mind and just saw their weird gazes directed at her. So she became embarrassed.

A few seconds later, she sighed in her heart. Then she directly left Fang Yan to deal with it. “It’s up to you. I’ll go if you’re going.”

“Well, come on then.” Fang Yan took a breath and felt it was really tricky. Then the two guys took the initiative to carry the luggage and set out first.

As expected, they walked for another hour on the mountain road and then finally arrived at the villa.

But standing on the hill outside, everyone looked at the magnificent villa with cold sweat.

It was just like the castles in Twilight, with towering spires and doors like dark cave mouths. It stood far away in the afterglow of the sunset and looked gloomy and terrible…

“Is it a villa for people?” Actually, Zhang Yaoyao wanted to ask if there were vampires inside. But she dared not because she was so scared.

“Of course. We can regard it as an adventure.” Fang Yan was leaving with the luggage. Tang Xia panicked because she was also very scared, so she wanted to pull his hand.

At that moment, Song Sisi was saying to Dabing, “It’s too scary!

Fang Yan heard that, so he turned to pat Song Sisi on the shoulder with enthusiasm, showing his white teeth, and said, “Then follow me.”

“Fang Yan!” Tang Xia looked at Fang Yan and wanted to remind him that he was her boyfriend!

Fang Yan was not so stupid and realized it immediately. So he went up close to her embarrassedly and said, “I’ll certainly protect you!”

Song Sisi looked at Tang Xia and sneered, then hung her face the whole way. When they entered the yard, they found an old man in black standing by the door.
