Chapter 118: Are gentle people gentle to everyone?

Arrived at the world's highest city, Tianshan Hospital.

All four of them had fast-pass tickets for this ride, so they almost didn't have to wait in line before it was their turn.

"This ride requires groups of eight to ten people to enter together. Do you four want to find people yourselves, or go with other tourists?" After scanning the fast-pass codes for all four, the staff member asked.

Calling people himself was too slow and unnecessary. After the four exchanged glances, Chen Yuying told the staff member to choose the latter.

"Okay, then you go in first and wait a moment in the waiting area." The staff member nodded.

The four walked in.

"Eh, isn't that Chen Tianming?" Chen Yuying pointed forward and said.

Lin Li looked over; it really was Chen Tianming, and there were two girls beside him, one of whom, the one with short hair, should be Yao Qiaoqiao.

And Chen Tianming seemed to have noticed Lin Li, but didn't greet him immediately; instead, he looked at his phone.

Lin Li knowingly took out his phone.

"Chen Tianming: From now on, let's call each other by our own terms. I'll call you Dad, you call me Brother. Please, Dad."

Lin Li: "……"

"What a coincidence, Brother Tianming." Lin Li sighed with amusement in his heart and raised his hand to greet him.

"Eh, Lin Li?" Chen Tianming looked at Lin Li with "surprise," then walked up and fist-bumped Lin Li.

"Thanks, Dad." Chen Tianming said in a low voice.

Chen Yuying, who was on the side, still heard it. She blinked her eyes and tilted her head in confusion.

Such a complicated relationship.

"No need to call me Dad. Although I don't know what you're planning, I will cooperate with you from now on, provided that you treat Bufan and Baowei to breakfast next week." Lin Li responded concisely.

"Fine." Although he didn't know why he had to treat them to breakfast, Chen Tianming agreed.

Yao Qiaoqiao's gaze was also attracted by the sound and movement.

After seeing Lin Li, she walked over, crossed her arms, tilted her head slightly, and asked: "Lin Li, why haven't you accepted my WeChat request?"

She was wearing makeup today, but she still didn't look as good as Chen Yuying.

"Oh, oh, sorry, Tianming reminded me before. I didn't notice at first, and later I forgot. Sorry." Lin Li wasn't lying; he had truly forgotten about it.

"It's okay, I'm not blaming you. I'll just send another request now. You won't not accept it this time, right?" Yao Qiaoqiao took out her phone, tapped the phone case with her fingernail, making a crisp sound, and asked gently.

"Okay, and sorry again." Lin Li took out his phone and accepted the friend request from "hazelle."

Even though he had memorized words up to 'h', Lin Li still didn't understand what this English meant.

"My name is Yao Qiaoqiao, do you remember? I've always remembered your name." Yao Qiaoqiao spoke again.

"Of course, Tianming has been mentioning you, how could I forget." Lin Li smiled.

He ignored the grateful look from Chen Tianming on the side.

This was all he should do.

"Then thank you for remembering my name too. Are you guys here to play the Haunted House too? You four, haven't you gathered enough people yet?"

"Yeah."

"Then let's go together? We three are also waiting for people. By the way, she is my classmate, Fan Rou."

"First, hello classmate," Lin Li didn't nod but pointed to Chen Yuying and the others: "Second, ask them. My rights have been deprived for life; I'm no longer a complete person, I have no human rights."

Yao Qiaoqiao: "?"

Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu punched Lin Li in the back tacitly.

Solidly.

Rubbing his waist in pain, Lin Li shrugged: "See, I've become a punching bag."

"Let's go together." Chen Yuying nodded.

Actually, there was no need to ask. According to the staff's arrangement, it was obvious they would be together.

But Chen Yuying thought about it and felt that if Lin Li agreed without asking the three of them, or agreed and then asked them, it would indeed make people uncomfortable.

"There's a bag storage area here, let's go put our bags away first." Ding Sihan said at this time.

"Rare for you not to be lazy. Help me put mine away too, thanks." Lin Li handed his bag, which actually didn't have much in it, to Ding Sihan.

"Whether you want your bag or not, you have to come over." Ding Sihan didn't grab Lin Li's bag, but grabbed Lin Li's hand instead, and a low voice came through her smiling teeth.

So Lin Li was dragged over.

The four arrived at the bag storage area.

"What's the situation? Who is that? Is there gossip to eat? Does Chen Tianming like her? Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Ding Sihan licked her lips and asked impatiently.

It seemed her "gossip-monger" attribute was exploding.

So cute, he wanted to sit on her and crush her.

"It's not bad to say what you've encountered, but nothing is set in stone yet, so it's best not to spread it around..." After finishing this premise, Lin Li told them the general situation.

"So that's it. Then does this Yao Qiaoqiao like Chen Tianming?" Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu suddenly realized.

"I don't know the progress for today, but it doesn't look like it. After all, Yao Qiaoqiao brought her classmate along. If she really intended to date, she wouldn't bring a lightbulb." Lin Li gave his analysis.

What Lin Li didn't say was that, based on his impression of Chen Tianming, he seriously suspected that this kid was the lightbulb who had forced his way between the two girls.

Chen Yuying frowned slightly. After hesitating for a while, she said softly: "Although it's not good to speak ill of others behind their backs, I always feel this girl is a bit... strange? But I can't say where it's strange."

"Class Monitor, you mean to say she's a bit 'tea-like' (manipulative/fake), right?" Lin Li summarized.

"……I didn't." Chen Yuying glared at Lin Li.

"I actually have a bit of that feeling too. She is far from being as naturally and casually cute as you, Class Monitor. She seems to have designed every action."

"Although it's irresponsible to make such a negative evaluation based on just a few glances and words, I believe that my boyish sixth sense and your girlish sixth sense won't be wrong. If it's wrong, it's your problem, Class Monitor." Lin Li said with a smile.

"It doesn't sound happy to step on one to praise another," Chen Yuying punched Lin Li's forearm again after hearing the latter part: "Also, it's your evaluation, if it's wrong, it's your problem."

This punch used a bit of force.

He could only take ninety-nine more hits.

"Really? Why didn't I feel it?" Ding Sihan scratched her head.

Lin Li looked at her, then sighed and didn't speak.

"What do you mean!"

"Huh? I didn't say anything?"

……

When the four returned after putting away their bags, there were two more people, who didn't look like students; they should be a couple.

And when the staff saw the four return, they signaled for everyone to come over.

"……So everyone just needs to find three keys in the rooms throughout the hospital within the limited time, retrieve the password, and you can open the door to leave the hospital and escape." The staff member stated the background story.

Then they confiscated the phones, gave everyone a mini flashlight that looked like it was bought at a roadside stall for three yuan, and let everyone set off.

"Tianming, as the most courageous and wise person among us, I'm a bit scared, so I'll leave the job of leading the charge to you." Lin Li praised.

"You flatter me, you flatter me, I don't deserve it, but no problem, leave the leading to me." Chen Tianming waved his hand, indicating this was a small matter.

Chen Yuying and the other two, who knew the inside story, felt weird and turned their heads away while listening to this pretentious way of speaking.

So Lin Li walked in the middle, with Chen Yuying and the other two behind him.

"Baby, let's walk at the back, I will definitely protect you well." The boyfriend said to his girlfriend.

When the staff closed the entrance door, the lights dimmed instantly, and terrifying rustling sounds came from the Haunted House, and the atmosphere immediately rose.

If it weren't for the many people now, Lin Li would really want to kowtow to Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu.

——"Ying-bao, don't grab me, I'm scared."

——"Yuying, don't grab me either, I'm scared too."

Look, these two daughters are also "mouth says no, body says yes." They told Chen Yuying they would protect her well after going in, but after they really went in, their faces changed.

Changing is good.

"Class Monitor, grab me, I'm not scared." Lin Li said, holding back his laughter.

"You two……" In the darkness, Chen Yuying's eyes were reflected brightly by the flashlight.

Finally, she stood behind Lin Li, carefully grabbing the hem of Lin Li's expensive clothes, which he claimed cost 1,800.

"We're at the intersection. There haven't been any ghosts along the way, so it feels like something is about to happen now. Everyone be careful." Chen Tianming, who was walking at the very front, was calm. While walking slowly, he turned his head to instruct everyone. "Why don't you treat my illness—!! Why!"

As soon as he spoke, a sharp, hoarse female roar suddenly appeared, and a mannequin head covered in blood suddenly popped out from the wall on the right, with only the eye sockets emitting a creepy red light.

Although Chen Tianming had warned them, it was still a very sudden scene. Even Lin Li felt a tightness in his heart and subconsciously tensed his body.

And the girl behind him was even worse. After a scream, her hand let go for a brief moment, but then she used both hands to grab the clothes on the lower part of his back, and he could feel her arm pressing against him.

Damn arm.

Forget it, there's no part of the Class Monitor that is "damn."

Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey.

That thought just now doesn't count, retract.

What's "damn" is his 1,800-yuan outfit that he bought for 32.9.

Lin Li turned his head, preparing to comfort Chen Yuying:

"Class Monitor, don't…… Ding Sihan!? Damn! Why the hell is it you!!"

=9+Book_Bar

Damn, the suddenly appearing mannequin head didn't scare him, but Lin Li turned his head and saw it was Ding Sihan grabbing his clothes, and he was completely scared.

Wanted to die.

This is the real Haunted House!

He scanned behind him with the flashlight.

Chen Yuying was currently covering the lower half of her face with her clenched hands, leaning against the wall. After hearing Lin Li call her, she trembled again because of the loud volume, and then looked up at him with somewhat flustered eyes.

Cute, wanted to rua (pet) her a hundred times.

"Hahahaha!! Just now I saw Ying-bao was scared and hid by the wall, so I came up. After all, I'm scared too~" Lin Li's truly "seeing a ghost" expression made Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu behind her laugh until their stomachs hurt.

Lin Li: "……"

I'm afraid of ghosts, but the ghosts haven't hurt me at all; I'm not afraid of people, but people have hurt me all over.

Although he forgot who once told him this sentence, Lin Li had completely understood it now.

Damn arm.

There's no part of Ding Sihan that isn't "damn."

"You…… you, it's too dangerous for you to be behind me, all of you go to the front."

Lin Li, with black lines all over his head, took a few steps back and walked to the front of the couple and behind Chen Yuying and the other two.

Never expose your back to people you don't trust.

Truth.

"Yuying is too rational when encountering danger, no way, hahaha, Wanqiu, did you see it just now? Lin Li's expression, it's a pity we didn't record it with a phone. He looked like he saw something dirty, hahaha——"

Ding Sihan in front was still laughing wildly.

Qu Wanqiu was originally laughing too, then she froze for a moment, staring blankly at Ding Sihan, not knowing whether she should continue laughing.

Until Ding Sihan also reacted.

"What are you doing again?" Looking at Ding Sihan who turned her head in front, Lin Li was extremely defensive.

"Am I that scary? Always hate you…… always……" Ding "Little Ghost" was in her home field in the Haunted House.

Lin Li: "?"

He was the one who was scared, and he was the one who was hated. Is there any logic in this?

The Haunted House continued to move forward, and similar scare mechanisms were triggered constantly.

Lin Li could see clearly from behind that Chen Yuying was the type who would clench her fists and cross them in front of her chest when scared, then lean against the wall to soothe her fear.

She wouldn't be like the stereotype he had of girls, hugging everywhere when scared.

Damn, the result was that Ding Sihan took advantage of the situation.

"Da da da da da!!" Suddenly, a crackling sound rang out from behind.

"Found you! All of you stay here!" Everyone turned their heads and saw a figure holding a chainsaw appear slowly, then start running toward everyone.

"The chase is on, everyone run!" Chen Tianming rationally concluded and shouted immediately.

Everyone screamed and ran immediately.

The couple at the very back became the first target.

"Honey, save me! Honey!" The girl seemed too scared to walk, squatting directly on the ground, holding her head, and calling for help from her boyfriend with a trembling voice.

Lin Li stopped his steps to leave. After hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but speak: "Sister, your husband has already run away."

The moment the chainsaw man appeared, he disappeared in a flash. Even Lin Li, a cultivator, almost couldn't capture his figure.

Woman: "?"

The woman opened her eyes, looked around, and after confirming this, the fear on her face instantly melted away, leaving only a blank expression.

She stood up, reached out to the chainsaw man who had already walked in front of her and was waving the chainsaw to continue scaring her, and said coldly: "Give me the chainsaw."

Chainsaw Man: "?"

"Hurry up!"

Perhaps her aura was too strong; the chainsaw man blankly gave her his prop.

The woman used the hairband on her wrist to tie up her hair, then asked Lin Li: "Do you know which way he ran?"

Lin Li pointed out the direction.

The woman carried the chainsaw and walked over with a "clack, clack, clack" sound in her high heels.

"Liu Zhipeng! Just you wait for me!"

Although he didn't know what was going to happen, Lin Li mourned for that guy.

Then Lin Li walked in the direction where the Class Monitor and the others had run according to his memory.

After walking two steps, Lin Li stopped.

He saw time reverse; Lin Li retreated back, looked at the chainsaw man without a chainsaw, and asked sincerely: "Buddy, anyway, your chainsaw is gone, can you lend me your mask and clothes?"

The chance to take revenge on Ding Sihan had arrived!

Chainsaw Man: "???"

"No, buddy, are you guys all a bit too impolite?!" The chainsaw man was really angry. This was too disrespectful to ghosts; it even made the ghost speak human language.

It seemed his aura wasn't as strong as that woman's just now.

"Lin Li? Lin Li!"

Just as Lin Li was preparing to reason with the chainsaw man, he heard Chen Yuying calling his name in the Haunted House.

"Eh! What's wrong, Class Monitor? I'm here!" The chainsaw man wasn't as important as Chen Yuying, so Lin Li responded to the call and walked toward the source of the sound.

Walking around the corner, the faint light source swayed slightly, and Lin Li saw Chen Yuying, as well as Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu beside her.

"What's wrong?" Lin Li asked gently.

"After our Ying-bao found out you didn't follow, she was worried that you, this guy, were scared or something happened, so she insisted on coming back to find you.

Wanqiu and I said we didn't want to find you, this annoying ghost, and if she wanted to find you, she could go alone. But Ying-bao insisted on coming, so we had to follow. Sigh, tsk tsk tsk."

Ding Sihan said with a sarcastic tone on the side.

Qu Wanqiu also nodded with a smile.

They couldn't say it, but seeing Chen Yuying insist, they definitely had to accompany her.

Otherwise, leaving a sister who would be scared alone in the Haunted House, what kind of best friend would that be?

"Can't just leave Lin Li alone……" Chen Yuying said softly.

The flashlight swayed slightly, and the girl's cheeks were flickering in the light.

Her eyes were always bright, like gemstones.

Lin Li froze for half a second, or a second, he couldn't count, then nodded with a smile:

"Thank you, Class Monitor."

In his heart, he began to call Xiaojing's name again and again.

Two chapters, seven thousand words in total today.

Seeking monthly tickets.
