“Jie… can we not go in? Let’s not do this, alright? Let’s do something else. There are still many attractions we can go to!”
This bastard. He just had to go for the attractions that she was scared of. So mean of him!
“But I just want to play this. Just treat it as if you are accompanying me, alright?” Yin Shaojie was obstinate. Suddenly, he took the plushie from her hands and handed it to the staff for safekeeping.
“Hey, hey. Why are you taking my plushie? I want to hold it!” Mu Xiaoxiao protested. At least she would feel some sense of security if she had something to hold on to.
But how could Yin Shaojie let her have any other source of security. He alone was enough for her.
“If you want to hold on to something, hold on to me,” he said, smiling.
Staring at him, Mu Xiaoxiao snorted. “Is that your motive?”
Yin Shaojie laughed without saying a word, held her hand, and led her into the haunted house.
Just as they went through the entrance, Mu Xiaoxiao felt a chilliness assault her face, and she rubbed her arm.
“You, you walk in front!” she pushed him, her little hand hugging his arm, holding on to it like it was the last straw she could clutch at, and it was as if she was not going to let anyone try to separate them.
There were two paths ahead to choose from.
Yin Shaojie asked, “You choose which way to go.”
Troubled, Mu Xiaoxiao looked left and right. “Which way is faster?”
“How would I know?” Yin Shaojie laughed, watching her little face. It was rare to see her being so dependent on him. It really made him feel good.
“Um… well…” Mu Xiaoxiao tapped her finger on her lips uneasily as she hummed and hawed.
Yin Shaojie said, “Just choose one randomly. It should be about the same.”
“Then, then let’s go by the left,” Mu Xiaoxiao said before changing her mind immediately, “Right! Right, right side!”
Though that was what she said, her feet still didn’t move.
Yin Shaojie looked at her funny. “So is it left or right?”
Mu Xiaoxiao shot a glare at him. “I’m confused! I was trying hard to make a decision, okay! Why don’t you choose then! You choose!”
“Then I choose the left side,” Yin Shaojie said simply.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao deliberately took a different position against him, saying, “Let’s go to the right then!”
As she said that, she pulled him to right side path lest he resist.
In the first place, it didn’t matter to Yin Shaojie which way they went, so he just went along with her.
Just as they walked away, another couple entered behind them.
The boy subconsciously went to the right but the girl stopped her. “Don’t go to the right, the right side is super scary! I was scared to death when I was halfway through it the last time I tried. I heard that there were only a few people who managed to exit taking the right side. Let’s just take the left side, alright?”
The boys asked quizzically, “But if you’re coming to a haunted house for fun, isn’t it more interesting the scarier it is?”
The girl scolded him, “Are you dumb! We’re just here for casual entertainment. If we happened to get traumatized, we’ll have nightmares! The last time I went through the right side, I had nightmares for a few nights. I’m not going to the right side again. If you want to, then go yourself.”
With that said, she abandoned her boyfriend.
The boy glanced at the path on the right. It was so dark that it seemed like he couldn’t see anything inside.
Suddenly, he felt a chill crawl up his back, causing him to shudder unknowingly.
He quickly caught up to his girlfriend and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. “Wait for me. I didn’t say I was definitely going to go that side. Of course, I have to come with you.”
The girl happily hugged his waist. “Only a fool would take the other route. It’s horrifying. Let’s just go this way.”
