Chapter 65 - Haunted House (2/2)
He was after all a science student and so he didn’t pay much attention to politics and history. Furthermore, it’s already amazing that he could recite half of them out off by heart.
In the haunted house, what could be more miserable? After constantly encountering ghosts, he finally managed to figure out a method to boost his courage, but he ended up forgetting the last half of it. Faced with the dark silence, he felt even more flustered!
The two held each other’s hands tightly and stiffly made eye contact. Then they proceeded to scream loudly and rush out all the way until they were out of the attraction. The ‘ghosts’ were probably shocked by this unusual method of tackling their fear, so they didn’t react in time. Like this, they ran madly through the obstacles and managed to miss many of the scary traps that were set beforehand.
In the darkness, a pair of male and female ‘ghosts’ sighed and had a look of disappointment, “Sigh, they left.”
Saying that with such reluctance, it was as if they didn’t manage to catch a last glimpse of someone important to them. If Xiao Yuxin and Xie Zhe were to hear this, they would have definitely rejected, “Your love for me is too burdensome. I can’t accept it.”
On their end, their situation was a scene of chaos but on the other end was a completely different scenario.
The cross-dressing master Wu Tong and his puppy junior brother also came to the haunted house. Naturally, how could they miss something as crucial as this? Wu Tong smiled meaningfully.
Before they had even entered the haunted house, Wu Tong already started to act weak and helpless. His eyelids trembled, and he gripped tightly onto his shirt looking nervous and scared.
At this moment how could He Shuo who is deeply in love with him act indifferent? He pressed his big palm down onto Wu Tong’s shoulder like he was protecting his princess with a look of confidence and bravado. A hint of fear hidden in his eyes however couldn’t be concealed but his desire to protect his loved one was not a lie.
“Don’t be afraid. I’ll be with you.” He Shuo said.
Wu Tong heard this and seemingly calmed down a little. He revealed a small smile, “Okay.”
He Shuo saw him smiling at him with such a beautiful smile and momentarily froze before looking away in embarrassment. Clearly, he is a tall and buff man with a buzzcut and a face that was ferocious to the point that it could easily scare young children but, with him standing before the person he likes, his entire face went red.
Wu Tong saw this and couldn’t help but think that he is very cute. He reached out to hug his waist before quickly releasing his hold. After all, he didn’t know when they would run into their teacher and He Shuo is a good student, so he didn’t want to make him panic. Anyway, weren’t there many opportunities for this once they’re inside the haunted house?
When it was their turn, the staff could clearly tell that the pair was a young couple. Around them were obvious pink love heart bubbles and the two were particularly attractive. It made those watching them feel envious, but the staff still remembered to do his own job. Seeing that the man seemed pretty strong, he sincerely reminded him not to attack the staff.
Side by side, they walked into the dark haunted house.
The gloomy music got closer and closer until it felt like it was playing right next to their ears and there were props on the walls that would occasionally jump out to scare them. It had to be said that the amusement park had spent a lot of time and effort for this haunted house to be made into a such a big attraction. The atmosphere that they at created is extremely creepy to the point that those who are mentally weak would start crying within minutes.
In front of others, Wu Tong had always maintained the persona of a gentle and weak girl, so he naturally should act as if he feared these things. No less than a few minutes after entering, he revealed a look of fear and grasped tightly onto He Shuo’s hand.
He Shuo may appear tall and reliable, and seemingly unafraid of ghosts but in reality, he is also very afraid……
He was still young.
Before they entered he thought to himself, ‘It’s nothing. No matter how terrible it can be it can’t be that much scarier than the usual haunted houses.’ But the moment he entered the haunted house, he realised that it was completely different from what he had imagined! Why is it so realistic?! It’s as if he was transported to a terrifying alternate dimension!
Despite being afraid, He Shuo didn’t want to show it. He should naturally act strong and reliable in front of the person he likes! How can he lose face in front of her?
And so, He Shuo tried to conceal his uncontrollably trembling lips and patted Xu Tong’s shoulders to appease him, “Don’t be afraid. It’s all fake.”
Wu Tong heard him say this and could hear the obvious tremors within. Hearing this, he couldn’t help but think that he was just too cute. He unrestrainedly reached out to hold He Shuo’s waist and hug onto him tightly with his face buried in his arms: “But I’m scared………”
He Shuo’s face instantly reddened. He didn’t know where he should be putting his hands, so it only hung awkwardly in mid-air. Still stiff, it slowly rested onto Wu Tong’s shoulders as he whispered: “Then let’s get out quickly. Follow me.”
Wu Tong nodded slightly with his head still buried in his arms in an adorable manner but continued to maintain his hold onto He Shuo.
He Shuo was both smitten and helpless, “With you like this, we can’t move. Loosen up a bit.”
Wu Tong shook his head stubbornly. As if he was very afraid he said in a small voice: “It’s too dark…..”
He Shuo sighed. It looks like they can only continue through the attraction like this. Half holding onto Wu Tong, they walked on. Using the faint light coming from their phones, they could see a cloth hanging from the wall around the corner in the distance. As expected, a ghost rushed out of it the next second. It revealed a grotesque and bloody face and ran quickly towards them in a hunched posture. It reached it’s hand out as if it wanted to catch them.
He Shuo thought, ‘Fortunately, they had already mentally prepared themselves and wasn’t scared too badly’ but he still trembled at the sight of the ghost and subconsciously pulled Wu Tong to one side to escape.
Wu Tong naturally cried out that he was scared and used this opportunity to cling onto his cute junior brother.
The ghost came close to them several times before slowly making a detour and disappearing back into the darkness. It was as if it wouldn’t be satisfied until it scared them a few more times.
When the ghost finally left and they were certain that it wouldn’t come out again, He Shuo finally could breathe a sigh of relief. His taunt face relaxed slightly, and he decided that it might be better if he and Wu Tong ran through this attraction quickly instead.
However, Wu Tong grabbed onto his shirt and said weakly: “My legs went soft….”
The meaning behind those words were naturally, I can’t move anymore.
Feeling troubled, He Zhuo furrowed his brows until his eyes suddenly lit up. He proposed: “Should I piggyback you?”
He had thought that it was a pretty good idea, but he realised that it wasn’t right the moment those words left his mouth. If he piggybacked Wu Tong, they would naturally come into close contact. Just imagining it, his face couldn’t help but redden. He waved his hand and said: “Forget it. For now, let’s just rest and…..”
Wu Tong said: “Okay.”
He Shuo was a little stunned and also a little at loss.
Wu Tong looked over at him innocently with a hint of a smile in his eyes, “If we stay here, the ghost might come back to chase us. It’s better if we get out of here quickly. It’s too scary.”
It actually made sense.
He Shuo nodded. With red ears, he bent down in front of Wu Tong and, very quickly, he could feel the body warmth of the person that he likes on his back.
Just thinking this, the temperature on his face once again rose another level.
He also needed to stand up. In order to keep Wu Tong well positioned on his back, he would need to grab onto Wu Tong’s thighs………with just a thin layer of the school uniform between them, the body temperature transmitted through was very obvious and difficult to ignore. It could easily result in others having all sorts of delusions.
He Zhuo pursed his lips and reminded himself internally not to think about nonsense and to be more sensible.
With Wu Tong on his back, every time he spoke, he could feel his warm breath on his ear. He Shuo realised this and found it extremely torturing but if you asked him to let him down, he was definitely not willing to. This was clearly a form of sweet torment for him
Like this, there was something that allowed him to divert his attention to and he no longer had the energy to pay attention to the ghosts. Immersed in the lovey-dovey talk with Wu Tong, He Shuo would only respond a little too slowly to the traps set in the haunted house.
In the darkness, the ‘ghosts’ who were ignored: “……”
They silently gnashed their teeth. This stupid, love-sick couple is too much! While they’re doing their best playing the role of a ghost to scare them this couple actually dares to flirt so happily?! This won’t do! We’re flipping over that stinky dog food. On behalf of the FFF inquisition, let’s go and burn them down!
