Chapter 119

In Xiao Chen's life, the most embarrassing things were:

First, when he was in college at Han Chengxun's house taking a shower, he had a towel wrapped around his waist. When he came out to borrow some shower gel, Han Chengxun's uncle caught him off guard.

Second, he was kissing Yu Na when his parents and Qiao Rui suddenly came in without warning. He wandered around at home, not knowing he had lipstick stains on him.

Third, when watching a horror movie at the cinema, he suddenly screamed, attracting everyone's attention.

Fourth, when the teacher supervisor called him using Yu Na's phone, his first words were flirtatious.

Today was the fifth:

A bloody zombie face suddenly appeared right in front of his eyes. His mind blanked for a moment and he grabbed Han Chengxun's arm, shouting, "Oh my god!"

The two girls who had just complimented them for being handsome and the college couple were there too.

Naturally, they also noticed.

Han Chengxun was no better off either, backing away again and again, scared by these two faces.

But he perfectly blamed everything on Xiao Chen, "Noisy, it's just a broken mask, is that necessary? You scared me."

The two men approaching 1.9 meters in height with superior looks already belonged to the higher head-turning rate group among the crowd.

At this moment, because they had made fools of themselves, the head-turning rate was almost 100%.

The two zombie ghosts laughed until they couldn't stand up straight. Together they took off their own masks.

Yu Na was overjoyed to show Xiao Chen, "Look, when An'an and I were buying tickets just now, we found a lottery next to us, so we went over. As a result we drew this, isn't it cute, hmm hmm hmm?"

Xiao Chen snatched the realistic mask, still in shock, "Can you two be less creepy?"

"Not good looking?" Lin Shu'an put on the bloody clown mask again, "I liked this one at first glance."

"Good looking?" Han Chengxun felt it was ridiculous and took off her mask at once, "Take it off, take it off, aren't you afraid of scaring passersby?"

Lin Shu'an ruthlessly exposed the truth: "It seems only you two were scared."

"......"

Yu Na hugged Xiao Chen's arm, "An'an and I are going in, we'll contact each other by phone later." She touched Xiao Chen's face, "You have to be good."

"Wait—"

Xiao Chen stopped them.

He seemed to have made up his mind, "We're going too."

"......" Han Chengxun: "We?!"

Xiao Chen pulled him along and whispered, "Let's go, what man is afraid of a haunted house? Wouldn't it be embarrassing to say it?"

"I don't like going. It's just a bunch of fake ghosts, what's there to see." Xiao Chen: "Come on, don't be scared. Aren't I with you? I'll protect you."

Han Chengxun: "I'm not going."

Xiao Chen played his trump card, blocking his words: "Dad!"

"......"

The two girls were stunned. Was this...okay?

Yu Na still felt a little uneasy. She went to Xiao Chen's side and stood on tiptoe to whisper in his ear sincerely, "It's okay, you can go wait somewhere else. I won't dislike you just because you're afraid of ghosts."

Xiao Chen didn't hesitate to hug her shoulders, "I want to accompany you."

Yu Na didn't refuse again either, but knowing this trip through the haunted house was doomed, she went along with him, "Okay then, hold on tight to me later, don't get lost."

"......Okay."

It was the same with Lin Shu'an and Han Chengxun behind them.

But they had been married for a long time. No one knew Han Chengxun better than Lin Shu'an.

He was very open, repeatedly reminding Lin Shu'an: "I don't care, you have to protect me well."

Lin Shu'an: "......Scaredy-cat."

It just so happened there were four people.

After they entered, the door slammed shut.

Horrifying sound effects and crying pierced their ears. Xiao Chen felt his body was no different from those stiff ghosts.

It was as if he was in the horror movies he feared most in daily life.

Phones were not allowed, there were no staff to guide the way, and flashlights could not be used either.

The route inside was so complicated it was like being lost in a maze.

Yu Na and Xiao Chen walked in front, Han Chengxun and Lin Shu'an followed behind.

"Ah!!"

A strange cry came from behind. Xiao Chen instinctively grabbed Yu Na's arm.

Lin Shu'an was also startled by Han Chengxun, "What are you doing?"

"Is this real or fake?"

"............"

Xiao Chen kept his head down the whole way, absolutely refusing to look up or into the distance.

Hearing what Han Chengxun said, he couldn't help but glance up. He suddenly saw a child in white clothes hanging right above his head!

The child's face was ghastly pale, eyes wide open, staring straight at him.

Yu Na hurriedly pulled Xiao Chen's arm, "Let's go, it's alright."

Lin Shu'an chuckled, "You can tell it's fake at a glance."

Xiao Chen was so nervous he swallowed hard, continuing with his head lowered. Though it was called walking, he was basically being pulled along by Yu Na.

Not knowing how far they had walked, something suddenly grabbed his ankle.

Xiao Chen's scalp tingled intensely.

He uncontrollably kicked away the NPC that had grabbed his ankle. "......"

Damn it.

NPC: "Hiss— Ah—!"

......

That NPC was new.

Fortunately he wasn't injured, but the NPC was still frightened. Xiao Chen knew he was in the wrong and compensated him for emotional distress.

Yu Na and Lin Shu'an deeply regretted bringing the two scaredy-cats into the haunted house. They didn't have fun themselves, while protecting their boyfriends the whole way.

And they even lost money in the end.

......

After leaving the haunted house, they drove to a cafe.

Han Chengxun and Lin Shu'an went to buy coffee.

Yu Na and Xiao Chen waited at the seats. She used a napkin to wipe his sweat, "Feeling better?"

"Better."

Xiao Chen was afraid she would dislike him and explained, "It really wasn't my fault. If he didn't grab me, I definitely wouldn't have kicked him."

"I know, I'm not blaming you," Yu Na gently comforted him, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have suggested coming here, knowing full well you're scared."

"But I really won't dislike you for this."

"Really?"

"Of course. Don't listen to their nonsense, who doesn't have something they're afraid of?" Yu Na smiled, her eyes curved prettily. Filled with him, she said, "My boyfriend, it's not up to them to judge. In my heart, you're always the best. Even if you're afraid of ghosts, in my heart, it's a cute little quirk."

The moment Xiao Chen turned his head, Yu Na hugged him and moved closer, lightly pecking his lips.

Their soft lips met, touching tenderly again and again.

Xiao Chen's heart gradually calmed down. He held Yu Na's hand, "Na Na."

"Hmm?"

"You like coming to these creepy places. I'll go with you, I'm sure I can overcome this fear given some time. I—holy shit!"

Before he could finish speaking, something wet and icy cold suddenly pressed against the back of his neck.

—Han Chengxun was up to no good. Holding an iced latte, when Xiao Chen wasn't paying attention, he pressed it against the back of his neck.

He was in a good mood.

With Xiao Chen making a spectacle of himself, he instantly regained his lost dignity.

He and Lin Shu'an put the iced drinks in front of them. Han Chengxun sat across from Xiao Chen, asking insincerely, "Feeling better?"

Xiao Chen: "Piss off."

Han Chengxun: "Alas, this time I didn't get to wait for you to protect me, what a pity." He said leisurely, "Next time I'll definitely give you this opportunity."

Yu Na: "......"

She, his arrogant protector-wife: "But inside, it was only you who kept screaming strangely the whole time..."

Han Chengxun: ?
