Chapter 41 - Carpet (1/2)
Li Chi Yu flew over to open the door.
Seeing Le Ling standing by the door, he smiled and pointed at Su Min, “We’re ready now. Let’s go.”
Li Chi Yi had already started to imagine the wonderful days that was soon to come.
Su Min closed the lid to his suitcase and turned to look over at the door only to be shocked.
Li Chi Yu’s goddess is very tall. Could she be considered a royal sister?
He compared his own height with hers and felt that she was similar to him, but she was a few centimetres taller than Li Chi Yu.
Li Chi Yu really is brave.
Le Ling said: “I’ll give you one minute.”
Li Chi Yu was already used to her cold attitude and said: “One minute, one minute. That’s plenty.”
Le Ling nodded and left the room.
Su Min sat back onto the bed, “You really invited your goddess out to watch the show?”
Li Chi Yu said: “You don’t understand, this is why it’s thrilling. When you don’t know what the show is about, it is an entirely new experience.”
Su Min internally thought: You’re using your life in exchange for that thrill.
But this was a horror movie and it was pointless for him to say anything. He just thought that the scriptwriter really was amazing for being able to think of something like this.
Su Min lifted his suitcase and asked casually: “With Le Ling being so tall, do you don’t feel pressured?”
Li Chi Yu: “No I don’t.”
He felt a little weaker when he stands next to Le Ling, but he still liked her. There was nothing he could do about that.
Li Chi Yu also invited a recently hired intern, Jiang Taozhi. He wanted to set her up with Su Min but he felt a little apprehensive.
But he couldn’t just invite Le Ling alone and make her be the only girl with them. It’s to awkward like that. Afterall, girls rarely go out alone with boys to play.
After a few minutes, the four of them gathered outside the staff building.
Jiang Taozhi leaned against her suitcase and said aggrievedly: “Li Chi Yu, are you deliberately hiding the contents of the show from us?”
Li Chi Yu raised his hands: “I’m innocent. I really don’t know.”
Le Ling said coldly: “Let’s go.”
With Li Chi Yu taking charge with organising this outing, he naturally was the main source of contact. As they spoke, he received a message from someone.
The car that was here to pick them up had arrived and was waiting just outside.
As they walked over to the car, Su Min couldn’t help but ask Le Ling: “Why did you agree to go to such a place.”
Le Ling glanced at him: “Just happened to be free.”
Su Min felt that it didn’t look like that was the case from her expression.
He had no memory of Le Ling, and his character has only been on the job for one month, quite like Jiang Taozhi.
But Li Chi Yi had been employed here for several months and is more familiar with Le Ling hence his desire to pursue her.
The staff residency is a few minutes walk away from the road. Right now, the sky had already darkened and the streetlights were on.
Su Min looked at the road and asked: “Is it that car?”
Just by the road not far ahead of them was a black car. It didn’t look different to the other cars, but it was parked in a separate location from the other cars.
Su Min subconsciously thought of the cars that appeared in horror movies.
Could this be like those final destination cars where something horrible would happen once you get on?
After thinking this, he quickly tossed that thought aside.
The main focus of this horror movie was to watch the show. If they died before reaching the venue, how would the movie be called Death Show?
Li Chi Yu checked his messages and nodded: “It’s that car.”
He took the initiative to help take Le Ling’s suitcase but didn’t expect Le Ling to be a step ahead of him. She even conversely helped him carry his suitcase.
Li Chi Yu: “………….” My goddess is so strong.
Su Min found the way these people interacted to be very strange.
Jiang Taozhi had a small 18-inch suitcase which was not only easy to drag around, you could also easily pick it up and carry it, so she didn’t need any help.
The car wasn’t locked. Su Min opened the door in one go.
The interior of the car was no different to normal cars but, because the lights weren’t on, it was dark inside.
There were two rows of seats in total; Jiang Taozhi and Le Ling sat at the back and he and Li Chi Yu sat at the front which is also behind the driver.
Sitting here, he could better take in the situation.
Li Chi Yu patted the back of the seat and said: “Brother, we can head off now.”
The moment he said this, the driver started up the car. His movements were smooth and quick and he didn’t utter a word.
Su Min could see through the rear-view mirror the driver’s appearance. It was a normal middle-aged man, but his expressionless look reminded him of a robot.
It was as if he had done this so many times that he had grown numb to it.
Li Chi Yu was very talkative and couldn’t stop speaking. He constantly tried to chat with the driver: “Brother, what is the show about?”
The driver didn’t respond.
Li Chi Yu again asked: “Brother, how long do we need to stay in the hotel? Or does the show take place at the hotel?”
The driver again didn’t respond.
Li Chi Yu was about to ask another question when he heard Le Ling’s cold voice from the back seat: “Li Chi Yu, did you eat too much last night? Why are you so talkative?”
The goddess spoke so he naturally didn’t dare say anything else.
Li Chi Yu whispered: “He’s not saying anything.”
No matter what he asked, the driver acted like he didn’t hear him at all and only stared ahead as he concentrated on driving.
Su Min outwardly praised: “Good driver.”
So good that it felt a little strange.
Su Min just happened to have the same thoughts as Le Ling and wanted to stop Li Chi Yu. After all, this driver didn’t seem to want to talk
He guessed he probably wouldn’t speak or it could also be because……..he can’t speak.
Afterall, the contents of the show cannot be revealed.
During the entire drive, Su Min wasn’t sleepy. Li Chi Yu on the other hand was knocked out.
Every time Li Chi Yu’s head leaned against his shoulder, a hand would reach out from behind to return Li Chi Yu to his normal position.
Once was okay, but when it happened several times Su Min found it amusing.
