Chapter 208: You Are So Beautiful ①
The coffin suddenly sprang up amidst terrifying sound effects without any warning. A person dressed as a zombie popped out from inside the coffin, their deathly pale face staring intently at Nie Qiu. Nie Qiu let out a scream, tightened her grip on Li Kai’s hand, and the zombie that had sprung from the coffin took a step. Nie Qiu’s heart trembled, and she couldn’t help but scream, “Ah!” Then, before the zombie could make another move, she threw herself into Li Kai’s arms, clutching his hand tightly.
Li Kai glanced at the zombie, then half-supported and half-carried Nie Qiu towards Huang Yan and Zhang Haiyang.
The zombie continued to jump in place. After jumping five times, it fell back down and lay in the coffin.
Nie Qiu, her face pale, buried her face in Li Kai’s chest, walking step by step. Her ears were filled with extremely terrifying special effects sounds and occasional screams. Although she couldn’t see, she could hear, and she was still incredibly scared. She wished she could plug her ears and just not see or hear anything, then she wouldn’t be afraid.
Zhang Haiyang glanced at Nie Qiu nestled in Li Kai’s arms, then at the girl in front of him tightly clutching her boyfriend’s arm. He asked Huang Yan, who was enthusiastically examining the stone walls and red brick walls beside him, “Huang Yan, are you scared?”
“No!” Huang Yan glanced at Nie Qiu and said with a smile, “I’m not Nie Qiu.”
A popular internet term flashed through Zhang Haiyang’s mind: ‘tomboy’. He looked at Huang Yan, feeling helpless, but he just felt that this was Huang Yan’s nature. “Huang Yan, where is the snake!”
“Where? Where? What snake?” Huang Yan asked excitedly.
Zhang Haiyang, feeling helpless, pointed at a small snake wriggling and swaying its head inside the wire mesh not far away. “Over there!”
Huang Yan turned to look at the snake. After staring at it carefully for a few seconds, she said to Zhang Haiyang, “It’s fake. This isn’t a zoo. This kind of snake is poisonous. If it crawled out from inside the wire mesh and bit a tourist…”
“Ah!” Screams erupted again. The couple in front of them clung to each other. The man’s face was ashen as he comforted the woman who was trembling uncontrollably. In front of them, a skull rolled, and where the skull was placed was a body. Now that the head was missing, it was continuously bleeding. The headless body fumbled on the ground, trying to find the skull.
“Huang Yan, are you scared?” Zhang Haiyang asked again when he saw this.
“I…”
“You are scared!” Zhang Haiyang interrupted Huang Yan just as she was about to speak. There was no need to ask; Huang Yan would definitely say she wasn’t scared.
“I’m not scared!” Huang Yan felt it was inexplicable. She looked at Zhang Haiyang and was about to step forward to pick up the skull, wanting to return it to the headless body still fumbling on the ground.
Zhang Haiyang said with certainty, “You are scared!” His voice was a little loud, causing Nie Qiu, who was hiding in Li Kai’s arms and afraid to look, to curiously glance over. She saw the headless, bleeding body fumbling on the ground, and her legs went weak. She buried her head in Li Kai’s chest again, gripping Li Kai’s arm tightly.
“I! Am! Not! Scared!” Huang Yan said.
Zhang Haiyang, feeling helpless, pulled Huang Yan into his arms. “I’m scared, okay?” He had underestimated the fighting power and thick skin associated with the term ‘tomboy’. Huang Yan hadn’t understood what he was trying to do at all. Actually… he just wanted Huang Yan to rely on him a little, to satisfy his inflated male ego. Of course, more than anything, he wanted them to hold each other tightly and get closer.
But Huang Yan didn’t understand any of this.
Pulled into Zhang Haiyang’s arms, Huang Yan was stunned. She finally understood what Zhang Haiyang had meant by his words. Her face flushed. “Don’t be scared, these are all fake. I’ll protect you.”
I’ll protect you…
For some reason, hearing this sentence, which was clearly an insult, Zhang Haiyang felt a little happy. He must be out of his mind.
