CW: quite descriptive fake-gore inside a haunted house.
Before Xing Lixuan could speak, Yu Antong cut him off. “Do you like me so much that you don’t even eat the food I don’t cook?”
This sentence accurately grasped his weakness. Under coercion, he gritted his teeth and bluntly said, “Yes.”
“You heard me, he admitted it himself,” Yu Antong turned his head and said to the little teenager with joy, “Don’t worry, no one bullies me, your gege is doing well.”
Yu Annan nodded despite her doubts. This should be true. Her brother’s husband was a very powerful person – if he didn’t like her brother, there was no need to cooperate and lie to her.
She felt that her brother was not the same as before. Is it because he married that powerful man?
With a powerful person backing him up, her brother also changed?
No matter what, it’s better that her brother has changed to be braver so that he wouldn’t be bullied.
It happened that after Xing Lixuan had a quarrel with Yu Antong, the guest bedroom was cleaned up and Yu Annan could live in it immediately.
Yu Antong comforted the girl who looked uncomfortable in an unfamiliar environment, “You can live in peace, gege has taken back all the inheritance our father left us. Gege also has also taken back your custody rights, and nobody can mess with us in the future.”
Yu Antong talked and coaxed his little sister until she was content. Then, he returned to his shared bedroom.
As soon as he pushed open the bedroom door, he was pulled in by a strong arm circling around his waist.
“Ah!” Yu Antong exclaimed, and then he was pushed down on the bed by Xing Lixuan.
His hands were grabbed by Xing Lixuan and raised above his head, pinned down firmly. When he was about to confront his husband, he instead saw Xing Lixuan’s stern face and dangerous eyes.
This man was obviously ready to settle today’s account.
Xing Lixuan suppressed him, exuding a dangerous aura, “I love you to death, and I can’t leave you even one step, huh?”
“Well, what can I say? I just want to assure my meimei.” Yu Antong pouted, “Let go of your hand, it hurts.”
Xing Lixuan let go, Yu Antong broke free, and immediately circled his arms around Xing Lixuan’s neck. With a seductive smile, he whispered near Xing Lixuan’s ear, “Let’s have a deep conversation about this… bullying by you.”
Hearing this, Xing Lixuan’s eyes darkened. He smiled, indulging his wife, and said in a low voice, “Then I won’t bully you in the future.”
He deliberately emphasized the word “bully”, making Yu Antong’s legs soft. Then, he gestured for Yu Antong to stand up.
How could he leave after flirting? Yu Antong pulled him down eagerly, with an invitation in his eyes, he said softly, “You’re asking for this, aren’t you? Shall I bully you instead?”
Xing Lixuan pulled the quilt to cover the two of them, and said in a hoarse voice, “Tone down your moans.”
“Shut up, will you?” Yu Antong knew, but he still blushed anyway. There’s no way he would let his sister overheard their night-time activities.
After doing this kind of thing almost daily, Yu Antong really got used to it. The next day, he could walk freely without a limp when facing Yu Annan.
He wanted to go somewhere for a short holiday with her, as he wanted to get closer to her, to earn their sibling bond. Now, he only needs to know her preferences.
“Do you prefer mountain-climbing or going to the amusement park?”
The teenage girl sipped her porridge, her eyes lit up when she heard Yu Antong’s words. She was obviously looking forward to it, but she shook her head and refused, “No, the teacher said that in the third year of high school, the most important thing is to learn more. Relaxing can be done after the college entrance exams.”
How could Yu Antong fail to see the yearning look in his sister’s eyes? The siblings had to endure a difficult life under their uncle for years, so this girl probably didn’t have a good time. She’s quite pitiful.
“You should study hard, I agree. But it’s okay to relax for a day or two. It’s not good to be stretched like a taut string all the time.” Yu Antong reasoned, “You should combine studying with resting, have proper relaxation activities so you won’t be stressed.”
The more Yu Antong talked, the more he felt that what he said made sense, Yu Annan had no choice but to agree under his firm gaze, “Uhm. Okay, I understand.”
“Good.” Yu Antong smiled and patted his sister’s head, “Climbing mountains is quite boring and monotonous. Let’s just go to the amusement park, go ride the roller coaster, and do bungee jumping. You can scream as much as you like, it’s very exciting.”
Yu Antong gestured his hand, speaking vividly and even adding sound effects. In fact, he was very excited as well, because he had never gone there before. Because of his weak constitution, any activities that were a little intense were forbidden. These are things he once yearned for but couldn’t experience.
Yu Antong said to Xing Lixuan, “Husband, you also go with us.”
Xing Lixuan saw that he was excited like a child, and mercilessly revealed this, “I think you want to go by yourself.”
Yu Antong fiercely countered, “Even if I want to go, what’s wrong with that!”
Well, Yu Antong claimed going here was to make Yu Annan relax. But in fact, it was him who played more vigorously than anyone else.
Not that Yu Annan was complaining. She was happy.
Getting off the roller coaster, Yu Antong leaned against Xing Lixuan. His legs were weak due to the excessive thrills, his cheeks were flushed, but his spirit was extremely excited.
Xing Lixuan dragged the sibling pair to sit on a bench to rest. In a trance, he felt more like a father corralling his two children in the amusement park.
After a while, Xing Lixuan asked, “Going to play the next one?”
Yu Antong looked at the roller coaster that had already started a new round, and said, “It’s so cool, husband, I want to play it again.”
Xing Lixuan: “Then you go to line up.”
Yu Antong looked at the S-shape queue that was bending like a snake. Just how long was the wait now…?
“Eh, forget it.”
“Ge, I want to play this.” Yu Annan pointed to the amusement park map, it was the haunted house.
Yu Antong: “You are so bold.”
He didn’t intend to play this attraction at first, as he didn’t even dare to watch ghost movies. And for some reason, after transmigrating into a book, he kept a respectful distance from supernatural things.
But, if his sister wants to play, then he will throw them all out of the window. Anyways, all the ghosts are just the staff, there’s nothing to be afraid of!
After Yu Antong made his own psychological preparations. Then, he said, “Let’s go.”
When he walked to the haunted house, he saw a few young couples hugging each other. They looked frightened. And there’s a couple of boys that cried harder than the girls.
…is it that scary?
Yu Antong shivered, and tightened his hold around Xing Lixuan’s arm.
Sensing Yu Antong’s timidity, Xing Lixuan smiled and said: “There is something you are afraid of?”
“Ge, are you afraid?” The teenage girl looked up at her brother, “If you are afraid, we can play something else.”
“I’m not scared!” Having come here, naturally he couldn’t be cowardly in front of his sister. Yu Antong calmed himself down and straightened his back. “All of them are just the staff, how scary can it be? How about you, are you afraid?”
Yu Annan hesitated. But since both of her and her brother weren’t afraid, then they could play with ease. Plus, she knew Xing Lixuan couldn’t be afraid of this kind of thing. “Then let’s go in!”
Yu Antong: “…”
Stinky girl, shouldn’t you say you won’t believe your brother’s lie at this time! If that happens, then he can “reluctantly” tell the truth and not go in.
‘Yesterday you doubted me, but now you believe me so easily?’
Yu Antong could only bite the bullet.
The entrance of the haunted house was designed as a ferocious demon king’s mouth. The entrance was a bit narrow. Yu Antong held his sister with his left hand and Xing Lixuan with his right hand. The three of them barely fit in.
As soon as Yu Antong entered, he saw two skeletons in tattered clothes standing on both sides, posing in a posture of bowing and extending their hands in invitation. Probably to hell.
Yu Antong was not afraid all of a sudden, he thought it was just tacky. “Is it just this level? It’s all for scaring children.”
They came into a small bend. The light suddenly dimmed, the space became larger, and the haunted house was decorated in an ancient style.
There were dilapidated houses on both sides, the door panels are half-opened, and crumbling. There were many dark holes in the door, as if a terrifying ghost was lurking everywhere, peeping, waiting at the perfect moment to ambush any unsuspecting souls.
If he squinted, he could vaguely see many strange yellow runes on the walls and wooden boards. There were gauze curtains hanging from the air, blocking his sight from fully knowing what’s ahead.
Yu Antong swallowed his saliva. He became nervous again as he tried to psyche himself up. ‘It’s all fake, it’s all fake, I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid…’
“Ah!”
A scream sounded.
Xing Lixuan was not frightened by the ghost, but was startled by Yu Antong, and turned to look at him, “What’s wrong?”
Yu Antong hugged Xing Lixuan tightly, and tremblingly cried, “Wuwuuuuuuuu~something is entangled with me. Please see what it is!”
“It’s okay, ge, it’s just a staff member.” Yu Annan comforted, “Look, she’s still smiling at us.”
“Don’t look!” Xing Lixuan wanted to stop Yu Antong. But it was too late, Yu Antong already opened his eyes and looked down.
At his foot was a female ghost in white. She has long, disheveled black hair, blood-red eyes, two bloody tears streaming down her pale face, the corners of her mouth cracked behind her ears, and she smiled strangely at him.
“Ahhh!!!”
Yu Antong almost fainted from fright.
“Ge, I’m sorry.” Yu Annan was full of apology and worry.
Just now she thought of a book saying that people are prone to fear of unknown things, so she told her brother that the staff was pretending to be a ghost and grabbing his feet. She thought that her brother would not be afraid after knowing what was going on, but she didn’t expect him to be so afraid of this.
Yu Antong trembled, “Hurry up, let’s go…”
Hurry up and get out!
After walking a few steps, he opened the covering curtain and saw a pile of blood-stained iron cages. Inside were all kinds of amputated limbs, in various stages of decay, which were all realistic. In the middle of the road was a large cage, and inside was a man in a prison uniform. The “prisoner” was covered in all sorts of wounds and blood, making him no longer looked “human”.
“Huff–” Yu Antong closed his eyes and pinched himself.
If he wants to pass by this section, he must squeeze through these two… things. Plus, he bet that the “prisoner” will suddenly move when someone passes by, reaching out to grab him.
The tourists who passed by screamed and rushed over with their eyes closed.
Yu Antong trembled and dared not go over.
Xing Lixuan was speechless, he really didn’t know what was so frightening, “Close your eyes, I will lead you there.”
Yu Antong nodded his head, “Yeah.” Then, he quickly closed his eyes and followed Xing Lixuan faithfully.
At this time, the prisoner wanted to reach out to pat Yu Antong, but Xing Lixuan protected Yu Antong, and gave the prisoner a cold look, trying to frighten the prisoner so that he did not dare to move.
After Xing Lixuan passed by, the staff who played the role of the prisoner came back to his senses.
Can tourists scare ghosts instead?
This job can’t be done! This is bullying him!! He just wants to be paid, okay!!!
After closing his eyes and not seeing the horror scene in the haunted house, Yu Antong really got better. But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he staggered and almost tripped over something. Fortunately, he was supported by Xing Lixuan.
He subconsciously stood still and opened his eyes, and a mass of bloody and rotting mass of fleshy… thing came into his eyes, all twitchy and oozing some kind of foul-smelling liquid. All of which was extremely horrifying under the dark red light.
“AHHHHHHH!!” Yu Antong’s pupils shrank, and he cried out of fright.
Xing Lixuan: “Let me go.”
Yu Antong hugged his arm tightly, crying, “I won’t let you go, wuwuwuwu. You want leave me at this time? Are you still human!”
Xing Lixuan sighed, Yu Antong grabbed him so tightly that he couldn’t walk properly at all, and was almost brought down by Yu Antong just now.
Xing Lixuan explained: “Let go first, I’ll carry you out.”
“Wu– don’t lie to me.” Yu Antong cried uncontrollably. He nervously let go of this death grip, but still firmly sealed his eyes shut. “Don’t leave me behind.”
After letting go, without any support, Yu Antong became more frightened and cried even harder.
Fortunately, he was hugged by Xing Lixuan in the next second, and the familiar cool fragrance from the man’s body gave him a sense of security. Yu Antong cried and buried his face in Xing Lixuan’s wide chest, trembling. “Scared me to death.”
Xing Lixuan turned his head to Yu Annan and said, “Follow me.” Then he strode out with Yu Antong in his arms.
Out of the haunted house, Xing Lixuan shook the person in his arms, “Don’t cry. We’re out already. It’s okay.”
Yu Antong whimpered and cried and didn’t let go, “I…well, I’m scared.”
“Yu Annan, you sit here and don’t walk around, I’ll go over there to coax your brother.” Xing Lixuan instructed Yu Annan, hugged Yu Antong and sat on the bench in the corner.
Seeing Yu Antong trembling all over in fright, Xing Lixuan couldn’t help but become very gentle, “Don’t be afraid, good boy, we are out, you can open your eyes and see, there is nothing left.”
Sitting on Xing Lixuan’s lap, Yu Antong closed his eyes and looked out, turned his head out tentatively, his eyes felt the change of light, and he opened them slowly.
The bright and warm sun shone on his body. The blue sky was clear, only a few lazy tufts of clouds floating around.
Yu Antong’s eyes were red from crying, and he sniffed like a frightened little rabbit.
Looking at his soft and pitiful appearance, Xing Lixuan couldn’t help but kiss the tears off his face, and coaxed, “It’s okay, baby, don’t cry.”
Yu Antong hugged his husband’s neck with lingering fear. He was still choked from his sobs to reply.
Xing Lixuan patted his back and comforted him with his utmost ability. It came out a little stiff, but it was sincere, “Don’t be afraid, your husband is here, baby. Don’t be afraid.”
Yu Antong waited for a long time before recovering, and felt embarrassed after realizing what he had just done, “God… that was embarrassing…”
This silly haunted house scared him to death!
Xing Lixuan warmly said, “No, you see that others are also crying in fright.”
Yu Antong looked around to confirm this. And indeed, a lot of tourists who went inside the haunted house with a smile came out crying like him.
Truthfully, Yu Antong thought that those girls he saw crying after coming inside were just pretending to be scared so their boyfriend could coax them.
…Wait
With this line of thinking, Yu Antong suddenly asked, “Honey, did you just call me ‘baby’ when you coaxed me?”
Xing Lixuan, who was patting Yu Antong’s back, froze. He denied, “No.”
“Don’t lie to me, I’ve heard it all.” Yu Antong regained his vitality. He relentlessly pursued the truth, “I was so shocked and scared that I couldn’t hear it clearly. Please call me again~”
Unfortunately, no matter how coquettishly he begged, Xing Lixuan didn’t call him “baby” again.
Xing Lixuan put him down, strode out, and insisted, “You heard it wrong.”
Yu Antong went after him, “Husband, call me ‘baby’ again~”
Yu Annan, who was left behind, silently chased after them. With this, she really believed that Xing Lixuan genuinely liked her brother.
However, she also finally realized her true identity.
