“So… where are we going for our date?”
Su Han glanced at Bai Baozhu, then looked at Bo Shenyu and Jiang Boyan. Although she felt a bit annoyed inside, her face still wore a gentle, sweet smile.
Hearing Su Han’s words, everyone’s gaze instantly turned towards Bai Baozhu.
“Let’s go to the amusement park!”
Bai Baozhu looked at Su Han with sparkling eyes and said cheerfully.
As someone from another world, she had never been to an amusement park before! Just seeing the amusement park clips broadcast on TV made it look so fun!
This Half-Mountain Villa actually had a small-to-medium-sized amusement park, and Bai Baozhu had been itching to go for a long time.
So, Bai Baozhu naturally and without hesitation set this Sun Date at the amusement park.
Seeing that Bai Baozhu actually wanted to go to the amusement park for the date, the production team staff hurriedly notified the villa staff to start up all the amusement park facilities.
“An amusement park, huh? Today’s date must be really fun then.”
Su Han looked at Bai Baozhu with a smile, her words carrying a meaningful tone.
Others might not know, but she understood Bo Shenyu all too well. This man wasn’t just a sweet tooth and a plushie lover, he was also… afraid of heights! And scared of the dark!
So, when Bai Baozhu suggested going to the amusement park for the date, she truly felt that even heaven was helping her!
After learning Bai Baozhu had chosen the amusement park as the date location, Su Han’s brain started working furiously. She was determined to use this hard-won date opportunity to make Bo Shenyu dislike Bai Baozhu!
Soon, the four of them drove to the amusement park, which was some distance from the Love Cottage villa.
Although it was a private amusement park and not particularly large, this small-to-medium-sized park had all the essential rides and attractions.
Things like pirate ships, roller coasters, drop towers, carousels, Ferris wheels, etc.—all the typical amusement park facilities were there.
Seeing this amusement park, which didn’t look much different from the ones she’d seen on TV, Bai Baozhu was instantly delighted.
However, upon seeing Bo Shenyu and Jiang Boyan, she pouted again in frustration, unable to stop thinking that it would have been better if these two were replaced by Xia Tiantian and Ye Jingyu.
“Zhu Zhu, what do you want to play?”
Su Han asked Bai Baozhu softly, her face full of smiles.
She kept thinking to herself, ‘Quick, pick a ride that someone with a fear of heights can’t go on! That way, I can say I’m scared of heights, find an excuse to keep Bo Shenyu with me, and then… Bai Baozhu can go with Jiang Boyan, and I’ll form a date pair with Bo Shenyu.’
Ah! This plan was just too perfect!
Unfortunately, things didn’t go as Su Han had so wishfully imagined.
Instead, she saw Bai Baozhu’s face bloom with a gentle, sweet smile, her voice even softer than Su Han’s own.
“Sister Hanhan, what do you want to play? I’ll play whatever you play.”
“……”
For some reason, Su Han felt that Bai Baozhu’s current expression and tone were somehow strange, and it irked her.
“I’m fine with anything. It’s up to you, Zhu Zhu.”
Even though she was extremely annoyed inside, Su Han forced a smile and spoke with exceptional gentleness.
“Me? I want to play everything. I can’t decide, that’s why I’m asking you, Sister Hanhan~”
Bai Baozhu’s smile grew even more gentle and sweet, making Su Han feel a headache coming on!
Watching the two ladies defer to each other back and forth, Jiang Boyan couldn’t help but frown. His eyes kept darting between Bai Baozhu and Su Han, thinking, ‘Why do these two sound so similar now?’
Are all girls like this?
“Alright, if neither of you will choose, I’ll choose!”
Unable to watch any longer, Jiang Boyan pointed towards the haunted house.
“Let’s play the haunted house first to build up our courage!”
Jiang Boyan thought that most girls were afraid of the dark and ghosts. Once inside, he might have a chance to show off in front of Bai Baozhu and regain some face! With a bit of luck, he might even make Bai Baozhu develop some good feelings towards him for protecting her!
Imagining the scene of Bai Baozhu being so scared she’d burrow into his arms once inside the haunted house, Jiang Boyan couldn’t stop the grin spreading across his face.
“Haunted house?”
Bai Baozhu considered this attraction and found it quite interesting. She then shifted her gaze to Su Han.
“Sister Hanhan, do you want to play?”
Hearing that the first attraction was the haunted house, Su Han was instantly delighted!
Bo Shenyu was afraid of the dark and definitely wouldn’t want to play this. Then she could also say she was afraid of the dark, and she and Bo Shenyu could be left alone to chat!
“Well… actually, I’m a bit afraid of the dark. How about you guys go? I won’t.”
Right after Su Han finished speaking, something she never expected happened: Bo Shenyu’s pride was so strong!
Even though he was afraid of the dark, he didn’t give up on the haunted house! He actually really was going to enter the haunted house with Bai Baozhu and Jiang Boyan!
Watching the three of them really about to leave her behind and enter the haunted house, Su Han had no choice but to backtrack and chase after them.
“On second thought, the four of us came out on a date together. If you all go and I’m the only one who doesn’t, it wouldn’t be very sociable of me. I’ll go with you~”
And so, in the end, all four of them entered the haunted house.
To be honest, this so-called haunted house was more like a pitch-black maze.
Once inside, it was dim and dark, with faint red lights barely illuminating the surroundings.
Perhaps it was the crimson lighting, or perhaps the oppressive darkness, but everything here seemed extremely terrifying.
“Ah! Brother Shen, I’m so scared!”
Suddenly, a black shadow flew past. Su Han screamed, trembling as she grabbed Bo Shenyu’s arm, pressing her body tightly against his.
Bai Baozhu, whose eyesight was excellent and could clearly see even in such a dim environment that these ‘sneaky’ things were fake and not dangerous at all, was starting to find it less fun than imagined and a bit boring. But when she saw Su Han scream and hide behind Bo Shenyu, a look of sudden understanding dawned on her face.
Ohhh! So this is how girls are supposed to react in a haunted house!
Therefore—
“Ah! Sister Hanhan, I’m so scared!”
Bai Baozhu suddenly screamed, tightly grabbing Su Han’s arm and pressing close to her.
“……”
Looking at Bai Baozhu firmly clutching her arm, Su Han really wanted to kick this annoying person away!
Now she understood. From the very beginning, she had felt something was off about Bai Baozhu. It turned out this girl was copying her!
Damn it! This woman really was sinister and had a wicked heart!
On the surface, Su Han was trembling with fear, clinging tightly to Bo Shenyu, but in her heart, she was already cursing Bai Baozhu out. She wasn’t scared of the haunted house at all.
Compared to the two female guests’ ‘acting’, the two male guests were much more… genuine!
In this dim haunted house, facing the ‘ghostly figures’ and ‘monsters’ that floated by from time to time, Bo Shenyu, who was already afraid of the dark, bit his lip hard. His face pale, he struggled to control his expression, not letting any trace of fear show.
As for Jiang Boyan… having never been in a haunted house before, he discovered for the first time that he was actually a bit scared of this stuff!
The dim, crimson lighting, the scary ghosts and monsters, combined with the sudden terrifying sound effects, almost made him think he had a heart condition!
He was so tense he couldn’t think straight. How could he possibly pay attention to where Bai Baozhu was or remember he was supposed to show off and protect her properly?
Just as all four dating guests were ‘trembling with fear’, they passed by a pitch-black well that looked particularly creepy.
They all gulped, wanting to hurry past it.
Who would have thought that from the mouth of that dark well, a female ghost with disheveled hair and a white dress would crawl out!
Moreover, her movements were getting faster! She crawled towards Bai Baozhu and the other three with large, exaggerated motions.
The already creepy scene, paired with the terrifying sound effects and the female ghost’s horrifying face occasionally peeking out from her jet-black hair, was enough to make one’s legs go weak, completely frozen and unable to run!
“Ah—!”
Suddenly, a shrill scream made the group, already somewhat scared by the scene before them, even more panicked!
“Ah! Zhu Zhu, run!”
They only heard Jiang Boyan roar, grabbing someone’s hand before sprinting towards the haunted house exit with a look of sheer terror!
However, he had no idea that in his extreme panic, he had grabbed the wrong person!
“Wait! Wait… Jiang Boyan, you, you…” Damn it, you grabbed the wrong person!
Su Han’s hand was tightly gripped by Jiang Boyan, her body pulled along uncontrollably as she ran forward with him. The gentle expression on her face completely collapsed from anger.
If looks could kill, Jiang Boyan would have been sliced to pieces by Su Han right then and there!
Su Han had originally thought that in this haunted house, it might become an opportunity for her. After all, Bo Shenyu was afraid of the dark. Perhaps in this pitch-black haunted house, through physical contact, their feelings for each other could grow warmer.
So, just now, seeing Bo Shenyu frozen stiff with fear, she had deliberately screamed. First, to appear even more scared than him, and second, to pretend to be terrified, seize the chance to drag Bo Shenyu away from Bai Baozhu and Jiang Boyan, creating a private space for just the two of them to nurture their feelings.
Who knew! Jiang Boyan, this idiot! Actually did what she wanted to do! And he grabbed the wrong person! He dragged her away!
That meant… the ones left alone with private space became Bai Baozhu and Bo Shenyu?!
Ahhh! Jiang Boyan, you big idiot! Big idiot! Big idiot! How does a big idiot like you deserve to be the male lead! Fuck you!
Just as Su Han was cursing Jiang Boyan wildly in her heart, the two people left behind, Bo Shenyu and Bai Baozhu…
“……”
A certain male guest with many phobias, including heights and darkness, had stiffened up completely and fainted.
“?!”
Bai Baozhu, who had been pretending to be trembling with fear, was dumbfounded to see a man as tall and sturdy as Bo Shenyu actually faint.
No! Wait! In a scene like this, shouldn’t she be the one fainting?
Completely bewildered, Bai Baozhu instinctively caught Bo Shenyu in her arms, and even managed a steady princess carry. This left the staff member playing Sadako utterly stunned.
A man standing 1.8 meters tall certainly wasn’t light. But Bai Baozhu, this ‘delicate and frail’ girl, had effortlessly picked him up in her arms?! And in a princess carry?
Was she seeing things?
Just as the staff member was left reeling, Bai Baozhu walked up to her with a frustrated expression, still holding Bo Shenyu, and patted her shoulder.
“Sis, your female ghost costume is way too scary. Maybe don’t make it so terrifying next time.”
After saying that, Bai Baozhu, looking thoroughly annoyed, carried Bo Shenyu—who had ‘stolen her scene’—and ignoring the other ghosts, walked towards the haunted house exit.
However, just as she was about to reach the exit, it suddenly occurred to her: had she broken her persona again!
A look of horror crossed Bai Baozhu’s face. She looked at the ‘tall, sturdy man’ in her arms. No matter how you looked at it… this didn’t seem like something an ordinary weak girl could lift! And she was carrying him so damn easily!
Instantly, Bai Baozhu’s expression shattered!
Feeling completely off, she subconsciously threw Bo Shenyu, whom she had been carrying all this time, onto the ground.
“Thud—!”
Bo Shenyu hit the ground, the slight pain bringing him back to consciousness.
“I… what happened just now?”
The awakened Bo Shenyu saw only Bai Baozhu in front of him, and they seemed to be near the exit. He looked utterly confused.
“Oh, you saw how scared I was earlier, so you dragged me all the way here.”
Wahhh! Her delicate, beautiful maiden persona might still be salvageable!
“Is that so?”
Listening to Bai Baozhu’s words, Bo Shenyu felt that something wasn’t quite right!
Just as Bo Shenyu was utterly confused, his mind full of question marks as he tried hard to recall what had just happened, Su Han and Jiang Boyan rushed over together.
“Brother Shen! Are you okay!”
“Zhu Zhu! Are you okay!”
