Chi Yu: "Have you considered it?"
Song Luokui looked puzzled: "What?"
Chi Yu: "The seduction plan."
Song Luokui lowered her gaze: "I'm... still... ahem, still considering it."
Suddenly, Chi Yu tilted his head down, and Song Luokui felt a touch on her earlobe. Instantly, she felt her legs go weak. Chi Yu supported her, "Don't take too long, I'm afraid I can't hold back anymore."
Then, the closet door opened. Song Luokui stared wide-eyed at Chi Yu, who scooped her up in his arms. "No one will notice."
The view outside the closet was hazy, and faces were indistinguishable. A group of people ran around the room, some cowered on the bed, trembling. Chi Yu carried Song Luokui to the window and let her out, then swung his long legs over and followed her out.
"Let's go." Chi Yu took her hand and left the bridal suite, heading to their next destination. After encountering and defeating ghosts along the way, a few minutes later, they made their way out of the haunted house, following a winding path.
Song Luokui looked at the bright sky outside, then at Chi Yu. The two made eye contact...
The people outside the haunted house noticed the "couple" with such high looks gazing at them. They assumed they were a couple since the two were holding hands, and the girl was blushing, while the guy's ears were even red. Their eye contact exuded intense chemistry. Ah ah ah ah, kiss! Kiss!
Of course, they didn't kiss. Song Luokui blinked and snapped out of it, immediately pushing Chi Yu away. "Quick, quick, leave now before they come out."
Chi Yu: "You haven't given me my reward yet."
Song Luokui thought for a moment, "Just now wasn't..." Her face turned even redder.
Chi Yu: "That doesn't count. That was just my reward for getting you out. It's not enough."
Song Luokui: "...I'll come find you tomorrow. We'll talk about it then."
Chi Yu: "Video call tonight?"
Song Luokui kept pushing him away. "Video call, whatever, just leave now."
"Okay." Chi Yu was satisfied and stroked her flushed cheek. "I'll go first then. See you tonight."
The girls nearby saw the guy leave while the girl stayed, though he caressed her cheek before leaving. Woo woo, it's so... They wanted to squeal!
It was a pity they didn't kiss goodbye. If they had, the girls would have screamed out loud. Woo woo, that couple was just too good-looking. If they kissed, the girls didn't know how excited they'd get just imagining it. Ah ah ah ah!
Outside, Song Luokui took deep breaths and rubbed her face to try and cool her flushed cheeks so no one would notice.
Back in the bridal suite, Lin Cheng had been holding Wang Sisi on the bed, both trembling. Suddenly, his sharp eyes caught someone leaving through the window. He sat up immediately. "Baby, I know how to get out."
The two climbed out the window. Once outside, they shouted to the others: "This way, run this way!"
Everyone scrambled toward the window, climbing out one by one. Outside, they followed the path, running away. They were chased by ghosts twice, but finally, after who knows how long, they saw the exit and ran out.
Panting, everyone caught their breath at the entrance.
"Damn! That was terrifying!"
"Is my face pale? I feel like I've turned pale."
"Me too, me too. Especially in the bridal suite."
Zhang Xiyue was counting heads. "Hey, I think we're missing someone."
Wang Sisi looked around. "Luokui! Where's Luokui?"
"Crap! Did we leave Luokui in there?"
Zhang Xiyue poked her head in and called, "Luokui!"
Song Luokui walked over from the side, holding a bottle of water. "I'm right here."
Zhang Xiyue turned and hugged her. "I thought you were still inside."
Song Luokui heard this and immediately said, "You were so focused on your boyfriend, you forgot about your friend!" She poked Zhang Xiyue's forehead with her finger.
Zhang Xiyue grinned sheepishly and rubbed her head. "Well, you know..." She winked at Song Luokui.
Song Luokui: "I came out a long time ago. I've been waiting for you all."
Lin Cheng suddenly said, "Were you two the first ones to come out through the window?"
Song Luokui blinked. "I was the only one who came out first."
Lin Cheng: "Just you?" He could have sworn he saw two people, one carrying the other. Maybe he was mistaken? Or was it someone else? And where was Chi Yu? He still hadn't shown up.
Song Luokui: "Yeah."
Zhang Xiyue came over. "Rested enough? Come on, let's go try another ride."
The group headed off to other attractions...
That evening, back in the dorm, Song Luokui was in the shower when Chi Yu's video call came in, but no one answered.
Chi Yu wondered if she had changed her mind.
When Song Luokui came out of the bathroom and saw the missed call, she immediately replied, "One moment."
Song Luokui partially dried her hair, then put on a jacket and took her phone before heading out.
Song Luokui went downstairs to a secluded area with no one around before video calling Chi Yu. He seemed to have just come out of the shower too, his hair still dripping water onto his chest, giving a glimpse of his pecs under his collar.
Song Luokui quickly averted her gaze. "How did you know I was there today?" She just realized on her way back that she didn't post anything on her social media, so how did Chi Yu know she went to an amusement park? And with boys? She had only gone with her roommates and Zhang Xiyue. The boys were Zhang Xiyue's friends.
Chi Yu: "I have connections."
Song Luokui wondered if Zhang Xiyue posted something on social media that someone saw and passed on to Chi Yu.
Without dwelling on it, Chi Yu brought up the private party. "I'll pick you up this weekend."
Song Luokui: "Huh?"
Chi Yu: "The private party you agreed to earlier."
Song Luokui then remembered. "Oh, right. Do I need to dress up or can I go casual?"
Chi Yu: "Casual is fine. You look good no matter what you wear."
Song Luokui's face flushed again. He really wasn't holding back now.
Chi Yu: "And don't forget what you said about coming to see me tomorrow."
Song Luokui: "But I thought you said video call tonight?"
Chi Yu: "The video call was my suggestion. You said you'd come see me tomorrow."
Song Luokui: "...Alright. Anything else?"
Chi Yu stared at her intently. "No, but I want to see you."
Song Luokui's ears turned red too as she covered the camera. "Can't you be a little more restrained?"
Chi Yu: "No." He had been too restrained before, while she went off playing with boys.
Song Luokui was speechless.
Chi Yu: "Have you decided yet?"
Song Luokui knew he meant the seduction plan. "Why do you keep asking? I'm still considering it."
