Chapter 1330: Sharp-Tongued Arrogant Tsundere Celebrity & Super-Rich Insecure Wife 07

Jin Chen and Shen Shi entered and only then discovered that the entire Ghost House was set up more like an ordinary family room, seeming to have nothing to do with Huangquan Lu.

But in the dim light, the walls were covered with childish handwriting densely packed with accusations like "I really want to die…", "So many voices…", "Don't scold me anymore…", and similar.

After passing the first small room, visibility dropped sharply, allowing hardly more than a few tens of centimeters ahead to be seen.

Jin Chen walked straight ahead, suddenly speeding up even while passing through the corridor.

Shen Shi's steps hesitated slightly, he looked blankly at his released hand, his face turning pale.

Because of his childhood experiences, even now he still greatly fears such enclosed dark environments and talk of ghosts and gods.

No one knows about this, not even Jin Chen; a man in his thirties being afraid of ghosts is really too pretentious.

But Shen Shi remained silent; only Jin Chen was out of sight, replaced by the miniature camera the cameraman had flown in to shoot, which captured his reaction clearly.

〖Damn, Shen Shi is afraid of the dark! What's with his face turning white? 〗

〖Hard to judge… I thought Shen Shi was the least scared among the eight guests. 〗

〖What's wrong with being afraid of ghosts! We timid folks didn't provoke anything! Being older also means being afraid of ghosts! 〗

〖Isn't the point that Jin Chen walked too fast…? He seems to be rushing to get off work?? Not even glancing at his wife behind him? 〗

〖Jin Chen is just a selfish ghost!! 〗

The anti-fans seemed to have finally found a point to latch onto, as the live-stream comments were instantly flooded, and they hurled insults with glee.

As a result, less than two minutes later, a beam of light illuminated the entire room.

Eyes already accustomed to the dark were irritated; Shen Shi instinctively blinked, then looked in surprise as Jin Chen hurried back.

"You…"

What, just standing there stupidly?

Jin Chen ruffled his hair, also realized something was off, lowered his head to meet his eyes levelly, and said, "Shen Shi, you're afraid of the dark."

"No." Shen Shi denied it quickly.

"Tsk, look how white your face has become."

Jin Chen pinched his cheek, amused, and said, "You should have said you're afraid of the dark earlier; don't scare yourself into having issues."

Shen Shi pressed his lips, also knowing he couldn't hide it, silently changed the subject: "You walked too fast, I can't keep up…"

"It's just a flashlight; don't wrongly accuse me."

Jin Chen took his hand again, lightly pressing the fingertips, and said, "How could I just abandon you after bringing you in?"

So that's how it is.

The subtle unhappiness Shen Shi had just felt disappeared; feeling the warmth beside him, the corner of his mouth unconsciously curled up.

〖Those who just called Jin Chen selfish, come take two steps forward? 〗

Anti-fans: 〖……〗

Having seen a ghost, has this person finally paid his emotional intelligence dues?

Holding hands, they continued; even though frightened, Shen Shi lost his awkwardness in front of the camera and leaned on Jin Chen as they walked forward.

Suddenly, Shen Shi noticed the corner of his clothing on the side not near Jin Chen being tugged.

"This older brother…"

A soft, weak boy's voice sounded from the right.

Shen Shi instantly turned his gaze, seeing a boy in white clothes, his hair also white, only the corner of his eyes slit, blood flowing and staining half his shoulder red.

The white-haired boy, seeing Shen Shi look over, lowered his head and Youyou showed a smile, "Brother…"

"What brother, who's your brother?"

Jin Chen pulled Shen Shi behind him for protection, pressed their joined hand reassuringly, and rudely cut off the white-haired boy's line.

"Say what you want, quick."

"Time is money!"

The white-haired boy choked, almost unable to continue, lowered his head and coughed a few times before going on.

He slowly raised his arm, touched his torn half-face, and said, "Brother… sir, I'm in so much pain…… can you help me relieve the pain?"

"If so, I'll tell you where today's envelope is."

Shen Shi kept telling himself this was just a human-played ghost house NPC, barely maintaining calm and rationality.

After analyzing the white-haired boy's words, he quietly told Jin Chen, "The envelope should be the clue we're looking for."

What they need to do now is first help the boy relieve his pain.

Jin Chen scanned the room; this level of darkness had no effect on him, and he noticed that in the corner of another room, a pitch-black cabinet was half-open, revealing a first-aid kit.

He patted Shen Shi's hand and said, "I'll go get the first-aid kit."

Shen Shi refused to let go, saying, "Let's go together."

Jin Chen glanced back with a chuckle and said, "First, let me remind you: judging by the angle of that cabinet, there's definitely a ghost hiding inside."

Shen Shi: "……"

Shen Shi immediately released their joined hand, even stepped back a few moves, putting more distance from that room, and looked up at Jin Chen with an obedient smile.

"Hurry go, hurry back."

〖Hahahahaha Shen Shi: wants to hold hands, but is scared! 〗

〖Shen Shi is really adorable! Want to rua!! 〗

Jin Chen walked to another room, slightly bent over, and opened the cabinet door.

With one hand he lifted the first-aid kit, then grabbed the long-haired ghost that was about to jump up to attack, raising an eyebrow in warning.

"Don't move, shrink back, or I'll beat you."

Long-haired ghost: "……"

He blankly revealed half a dark eye from under the wig, saying, "Dude, I'm a ghost."

This is Ghost House! You damn still warn me?!

You've turned the world upside down!

Jin Chen: "My wife's scared; you don't want to get beaten and run off, do you?"

The long-haired ghost twitched its shoulder, but couldn't move at all.

Feeling the stark difference in strength, he, capable of yielding or standing firm, gave a solemn nod: 'Okay.'

Jin Chen stuffed him back in, satisfied, and closed the cabinet door.

He kept looking over at Shen Shi, calling him back, puzzled, asking: 'You didn't say there were ghosts?'

Jin Chen thought, then said: 'That's a polite ghost; it doesn't scare people.'

'... Oh.'

Shen Shi felt strange—how could there be a ghost in the Ghost House that doesn't scare people?

But he had hardly ever been to a Ghost House in his life, so he didn't ask further.

〖Jin Chen super loves!! 〗

〖Should I say or not? Just now warning the NPC was kinda handsome?? Totally not like what's said online, eh! 〗

〖So rumors are unreliable…… Directly looking at the real person is the best clarification. 〗

The medicine box had nothing else; Shen Shi, designated by the white-haired youth, wrapped gauze twice around the 'injured' face, and that counted as completing the task.

The white-haired youth, now wearing a face that wasn't so scary, smiled gratefully at the two, continued speaking gloomily, and raised his arm to point toward the right corridor.

Today's envelope is to the right, the key is in the next room—go get it quickly.

Afterward, he stood expressionless in the room, watching the two leave until the door closed.

Thinking they were near the end, just as they prepared to head toward the right corridor, they bumped into another ghost.

Shen Shi nervously hid behind Jin Chen's shoulder and peeked out to look.

'How is it you again?' Jin Chen frowned, turned his head to look, 'You changed clothes that fast?'

Dressed all in black, the black-haired youth on the other side had a more sinister expression, his skin split and flesh torn.

'I'm the younger brother; have you seen my older brother?'

Jin Chen: 'I've seen him,'

The black-haired youth lowered his head, laughed a few times with an ambiguous meaning, and his voice echoed inside the house as he spoke.

'I tell lies during the day, my brother tells lies at night—in fact, what you want is to the left, the key is in this room.'

He pointed to the completely opposite left corridor, twisting his neck at a strange angle, and suddenly broke into a grin.

'Which way are you guys going?'
