Chapter 14 (1/2)

Xiao Tangqiu, “……………”

Tang Mianmian, “……………”

Xiao Tangqiu, “Don’t you dare joke around, it’s not funny at all!”

Tang Mianmian replied weakly, “I’m not joking with you. I didn’t make a sound this whole time………..”

Soon, Xiao Tangqiu realized that Tang Mianmian was telling the truth because at the same time Tang Mianmian was talking, the crying had started again. Worse still, this time, the cries sounded closer. There was a cold breath drilling its way into his ear canal; it felt as if someone was blowing right into his ear.

Xiao Tangqiu felt a shiver run down his spine. He grabbed Tang Mianmian’s hand and dragged him away as he ran. But the sobbing seemed to follow him relentlessly, as though someone had climbed onto his back…… At that thought, he trembled all over and started to run even faster.

The both of them ran for a long time until Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t hear the eerie crying anymore. He panted harshly as he ceased running, “Can’t………. Anymore……….. I can’t do it anymore……………”

Tang Mianmian didn’t seem to have heard those eerie sobs. He was still in the mood to joke around, “A man should never say that he can’t do it…….”

Xiao Tangqiu hesitated for a second. Then, he asked, “Didn’t you hear that?”

Tang Mianmian looked confused, “Hear what?”

“Crying…….. the cries of a baby…… You really didn’t hear anything?”

They ran into a ghost, but was he the only one who could hear the crying?

Tang Mianmian looked like he was about to cry, “Cries…… cries of a baby? An infant spirit ? Was it cursed? That’s right, wasn’t Fang Lan pregnant when she was drowned to death? It must be an infant spirit! Fuck ah! Infant spirits are also fucking fierce! You’re sure you heard it? But I really didn’t hear anything at all ah! If I did, I would’ve run faster than you!”

Xiao Tangqiu replied faintly, “I’m really telling the truth. It’s already scary enough, why would I bother faking a scary atmosphere?!”

Tang Mianmian gasped, “Then………. do you still hear anything?”

“Let’s go in and have a look?”

Tang Mianmian looked at the courtyard in front of them that was shrouded in darkness, and madly shook his head, “No! God knows what we’ll find inside! What if the infant spirit let us go because there’s something even more scary inside?!”

Xiao Tangqiu didn’t force him either, “Wait outside then. I’ll go in by myself.”

Tang Mianmian cried, “………….If that’s the case, I’d rather go in with you.”

Xiao Tangqiu rubbed Tang Mianmian’s doge face, “Since you already knew this would happen, why do you still resist?”

Tang Mianmian cried bitterly, “You always do this!” Whenever the both of them played in team mode while they were live broadcasting, Xiao Tangqiu would also use this method to force him to make a choice.

“Let’s go!” Xiao Tangqiu took a deep breath, “I have a hunch………”

“Fuck! Will you stop raising Flags?!”

The both of them quietly snuck into the courtyard. Xiao Tangqiu pointed at the biggest room, indicating that they should go inside. Tang Mianmian gritted his teeth, strengthened his resolve and followed after Xiao Tangqiu.

Xiao Tangqiu was just about to open the door to the main room, when it suddenly creaked open on its own.

Tang Mianmian shivered and held onto Xiao Tangqiu’s arm in fright.

But nothing happened after the door swung open. Xiao Tangqiu waited for a while. After he was sure there was really nothing, Xiao Tangqiu cautiously entered the room.

“Be careful……” Xiao Tangqiu whispered. They were still fine even after entering the room. The room seemed to light up at once, as though someone had purposely lit a candle for them.
