Chapter 103 Ghost House Adventure

“Don’t be so childish,” Qin Muxue chuckled and gave up her mischievous act.

“Little Bei, is your hand cold? Why don’t you put it in to keep warm?” Lin Beixiu looked at her as if she were a fool, “What do you think?”

Qin Muxue pinched his waist through his clothes and said, “Why are you looking at me like that?” Without hesitation, she pulled his left hand into his pocket, where their fingers intertwined. Lin Beixiu stiffened for a moment, before Qin Muxue seemed to have guessed his reaction.

“Don’t move.” She was fine herself, having experienced so much before. It was just holding hands outside that had turned into inside. Why couldn’t he change? He was still so easily embarrassed.

The two fell silent, Qin Muxue gazing at the bustling street outside, while Lin Beixiu focused on his phone.

After a while, they got off the car, facing a huge square and a long commercial street.

This place would have fountain performances at night, with some wandering singers performing. In short, when night fell, it would be lively here.

“Let’s go, I’ll show you around casually.”

“I didn’t know there were such nice places here.” Qin Muxue followed him, feeling emotional.

Lin Beixiu replied, “It gets even livelier at night.” This was a place his grandfather occasionally brought him to. When he had troubles, he would come alone, find a quiet spot, drink, smoke, and watch the singers, reminiscing…

This place bore many of his sorrows and heartaches.

The two walked aimlessly, looking at the grandma selling candied haws not far away.

Lin Beixiu asked, “Do you want some candied haws?”

“Sure.” Lin Beixiu approached, “Grandma, give me some candied haws.”

“Okay.” After Lin Beixiu paid, he handed the candied haws to her.

“Aren’t you buying for yourself?”

“I’m not eating.” Qin Muxue bit one and then placed it in front of Lin Beixiu.

“Here, let’s eat together.” Lin Beixiu hesitated for a moment, about to refuse, but Qin Muxue insisted, “Hurry up.”

“A big man acting like a baby.” Lin Beixiu: …..

Provoked, Lin Beixiu took a bite, tasting the sweetness.

“This is good enough.” Seeing him eat, Qin Muxue smiled in satisfaction.

The two strolled through the mall, finishing a string of candied haws.

Lin Beixiu didn’t want to eat, but Qin Muxue always goaded him into it. Lin Beixiu couldn’t resist her teasing, so he ate a few.

“Is there anything you want to buy now? Let’s take a look around.”

Qin Muxue thought for a moment, then shook her head. “I don’t know, let’s just browse.”

Lin Beixiu nodded and led her into the mall, reaching the third floor where various shops catered more to women.

Cosmetic shops, women’s clothing stores…

Qin Muxue wasn’t interested in those things. Her natural beauty was enough; she usually just applied sunscreen and moisturizer.

However, passing by a jewelry store, Qin Muxue was drawn in and bought two headbands.

Lin Beixiu waited at the door, and when she came out, he continued to lead the way.

“How should we spend our time now? If you had told me earlier, we wouldn’t have had to come so early.” Lin Beixiu was speechless, “Didn’t you suggest going out?”

“I didn’t expect you to bring me here, especially when it only gets lively at night.” Qin Muxue complained.

This silly boy…

“There’s a haunted house here. Do you want to give it a try?” Qin Muxue swallowed nervously, her fear suppressed by curiosity.

“Let’s go.”

When Lin Beixiu turned away from her, a sly smile appeared on his face.

Arriving at the attraction, Lin Beixiu bought tickets for both of them and led her inside.

In front of them was a huge ghost face, its mouth serving as the entrance, dark and atmospheric.

Feeling her grip tighten, Lin Beixiu glanced at Qin Muxue and teased, “It’s too late to regret now. We’ve already bought the tickets; it would be a waste not to go in.”

“Who… who’s regretting it.” If she hadn’t held on so tightly, Lin Beixiu might have believed her.

“Let’s go then. Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.” Seeing her scared expression, Lin Beixiu couldn’t bear to scare her further.

Entering the attraction, darkness surrounded them, occasionally punctuated by terrifying sound effects.

“Little Bei, are you still beside me? Am I holding your hand?”

“Of course, if you’re not holding mine, whose hand are you holding? You’re gripping so tightly; my hand might turn red.” Qin Muxue relaxed, but still clung tightly to Lin Beixiu.

“Alright, we need to solve the puzzle to get out. Let’s go.” Seeing nothing but darkness around them, Qin Muxue relaxed further, allowing him to lead her inside.

As they walked, a white-clad ghost suddenly dropped from above, its long hair covering its face, landing between them.

Qin Muxue, startled by the ghost so close, let out a scream, causing Lin Beixiu to be pulled back by her strong grip, losing his balance and falling.

The two ended up in an intimate position on the ground, with Qin Muxue on top of Lin Beixiu, her hand still wrapped around his waist, holding him tightly.

In the darkness, neither could see the other’s expression clearly, but Lin Beixiu’s face had turned red; it seemed he had bumped into something soft.

“Are you okay?” Lin Beixiu got up and helped her up.

“I’m fine.” Qin Muxue’s weak voice came.

“Are you serious? It’s just a prop.” Lin Beixiu looked at the ghost figure, just a white sheet with a wig.

“He appeared suddenly, scared me to death. I wanted to run with you.”

Lin Beixiu: …..

Thank you for thinking of me when you were scared.

The intention was good, but let’s not do that again.

“Let’s go, we still need to solve the puzzle.” While searching for clues, staff members would occasionally jump out to scare them.

Each time, Qin Muxue would scream and cling to Lin Beixiu, who could only instinctively hold her, comforting her.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.” He didn’t notice the faint joy on Qin Muxue’s panicked face.

…

To make matters worse, she was startled once and jumped onto Lin Beixiu, who, caught off guard, ended up supporting her perky bottom.

“You, you… get down quickly.”

“No, wuwu, you scared me.” It did bring them closer, but it was too frightening.
