Chapter 44: What... is he trying to do?

Bai Shuruo shivered slightly.

It was mainly because she was wearing few clothes today, so she was a bit cold.

Han Yangting realized this and couldn't help but hold her hand, repeating, "If you're scared, just hold onto me tightly."

Ling Feng, who was in front, also said to Bai Shunan, "Miss Bai, if you're scared, you can hold onto me too."

Bai Shunan did not respond; she was staring straight ahead.

The old house only had some blue light and some blood-colored light; it was filled with spider webs and messy objects, and from time to time, a few women's screams and chilling laughter could be heard.

The atmosphere was becoming increasingly terrifying.

Suddenly, a corpse floated over.

"Ah!"

After a scream, Bai Shuruo was held tightly by Han Yangting, the person in his arms trembling all over from fright.

"?" Bai Shuruo didn't understand; was it really that scary?

That corpse looked so fake at a glance.

Han Yangting was timid indeed!

Ling Feng in front was also so scared that he wanted to burrow into Bai Shunan's arms, but he was pushed away by her, so he had to turn back and hug Ni Xianglei.

Bai Shunan said calmly, "Stop screaming, there are clues on the corpse."

Bai Shuruo was curious and couldn't help but push Han Yangting away to go over and look with Bai Shunan.

"The corpse has the time and place of the murder, and the corpse was a pregnant woman before she died..."

The sisters studied the clues.

After a while, the corpse suddenly moved, and the few men behind them screamed in terror again.

However, fear aside, the men's intelligence was still online; once they reached a safe place, they would analyze the clues together.

They reached the next scene, which was a place for disposing of bodies; there were several coffins inside, the setting was gloomy, and the surroundings were hung with all kinds of black and white cloth strips.

Suddenly, the lid of a coffin opened, and Han Yangting let out another "Ah" and hugged Bai Shuruo again.

This time, Bai Shuruo couldn't push him away even if she wanted to; she was held so tightly she could barely breathe, so she had to let him hug her while she analyzed the clues with Bai Shunan, as if a large pendant were hanging on her side.

Unless the clues were solved, everyone could not leave this place, unless they asked the staff for help.

Just like that, Han Yangting hung onto Bai Shuruo for almost the entire time; even when analyzing the case, he stayed close to her, never letting go of her hand, and sometimes even tried to snuggle into her arms.

It was like he was taking advantage, yet it didn't seem like it.

Bai Shuruo couldn't tell, and with the tense atmosphere here, she didn't think much of it.

Finally, they were out.

Arriving at the lobby outside, several people slumped on the sofa together; Han Yangting still held Bai Shuruo's hand and wouldn't let go, while Ling Feng's face was still a bit pale, drinking a beverage and saying repeatedly, "So scary, so scary, if I had known, I wouldn't have played this project. The Fairy Tale Castle we played before was so much fun!"

Only the two sisters, Bai Shunan and Bai Shuruo, were nonchalant.

Ling Feng couldn't help but ask, "Are you two not scared at all? Are you even women?"

Bai Shuruo said, "But those corpses were all so fake."

Bai Shunan also said, "When the first female corpse came out, I saw her staring at you guys the whole time. She must be a female pervert; she's never seen such handsome players come in. You're afraid of her, but she actually fancies you."

"You guys can even observe that?" Ling Feng said in surprise.

The reason he chose this scene was, first, to create an opportunity for Han Yangting and his little sister-in-law, and second, didn't Bai Shunan say she was single? He could protect her.

Who knew... awkward.

On the way back, Han Yangting drove, and Bai Shuruo sat in the passenger seat.

Perhaps because he was too timid while playing the escape room, he was now silent and very cold and aloof.

Bai Shuruo wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know where to start.

However, ever since playing the escape room, she suddenly felt he wasn't that serious; on the contrary, he was a little bit cute. Thinking of his scared appearance, she couldn't help but "pfft" and laugh.

Han Yangting was even more depressed; he glanced at her sideways and didn't speak.

Driving the car back to the underground parking lot, he didn't open the car door for her, but walked to the elevator lobby on his own.

Bai Shuruo hurried to follow.

He waited for her inside the elevator, and she entered.

The two didn't say a word, and it was very quiet in the elevator.

Suddenly, Bai Shuruo pointed at Han Yangting: "Brother Han, behind you..."

Han Yangting reacted instinctively and suddenly came over to hold her tightly.

Bai Shuruo: "..."

She just wanted to say that there was some dust on the back of his tracksuit, which must have been rubbed off while playing; she didn't expect to scare him.

Was he really this timid?

Han Yangting also realized it and couldn't help but push her away, saying unhappily, "Don't scare people if there's nothing wrong."

"Okay, Brother Han." Bai Shuruo wanted to laugh again, but this time she held it in.

Returning home, Han Yangting entered the house without a word.

Bai Shuruo stood in the living room, thinking: He really is concerned about his face.

Isn't it just being a little timid? Who said men can't be afraid of ghosts?

She also returned to her own room.

It was evening now, and the lights outside the window were just coming on, like little stars. Bai Shuruo stood by the window for a while, and a sense of happiness suddenly welled up in her heart.

In the past, only her older sister took care of her, but after having a meal with everyone today, she discovered that everyone was quite caring and tolerant toward her; even if she and Han Yangting could not become a real married couple, they were still very good friends, as everyone got along quite harmoniously after all.

She went to take a shower and came out, seeing that the door to Han Yangting's room was still closed.

Strange, he usually stayed in the living room.

She couldn't help but knock on the door, but there was no response from inside.

Could he have been scared into falling ill?

Bai Shuruo couldn't help but push the door open and enter.

It turned out Han Yangting was still sleeping.

He had showered and was wearing silk pajamas; even while sleeping, his posture was proper and serious, as if he were guarding against someone.

Seeing him sleeping soundly, Bai Shuruo didn't want to disturb him and was about to leave, yet, whether Han Yangting realized someone was watching him or not, he actually woke up.

Upon waking, he was startled into sitting up again, as if a ghost were standing in front of him.

Only then did Bai Shuruo realize that after her shower, she had changed into a white nightgown that reached her ankles, and she had her long hair draped down; the female ghost in the secret escape room today had also been wearing a long white dress.

After Han Yangting saw clearly that the person standing in front of him was Bai Shuruo, he let out a sigh of relief, but it wasn't appropriate for him to lose his temper, so he only said, "Ruoruo, why are you here?"

"I knocked on the door just now, but you didn't respond, so I came in."

"Then come over here."

Bai Shuruo then walked toward him.

"Sit down."

She then sat down on the edge of his bed.

Thinking of his performance that afternoon, she didn't find him scary anymore; otherwise, she would certainly have been very nervous under normal circumstances.

Han Yangting looked at her with a burning gaze, and she stiffened.

What... is he going to do?
