Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Off to the Haunted House~

Lunch was at the amusement park’s food street.

The specialty was Little Chef Fu Gui!!!

It featured a variety of dishes, not the kind of snacks you can find all over the country, but local specialties from different regions.

The Chinese culinary culture is profound and long-standing; there are indeed many delicious dishes that people haven’t tried before.

The prices aren’t particularly expensive either.

[Opening hours, please!]

[I’m going crazy with so many childhood memory parks, and now good food too, I’d be so thankful!]

[I just finished my takeout…]

[Hahahahaha, luckily my takeout arrived, or I’d really crave it to madness.]

…

Yang Yingying explained the rules, “The first place gets five dishes, and so on. Everyone can order freely, and since we have two people in last place, the two of you can each order two snacks.”

Chu Xijin raised his hand to ask, “Can I give it to a friend?”

Yang Yingying smiled, “No, you can’t.”

If they could give it away, the game competition would lose its meaning.

Chu Xijin immediately asked again, “Then can I buy it?”

Yang Yingying: “No, you can’t.”

Chu Xijin wanted to ask again.

But Yang Yingying interrupted him, “Xiao Jin, you really can’t.”

“Okay.” Chu Xijin was very disappointed and had to return to his seat to eat.

Two snacks were barely enough for others, but not for Xiong Zunxiang. He had a really big appetite, and after running so much in the morning, he was already starving, now even more so, he was crying loudly.

Xiong Guobing suppressed his anger and said, “Stop crying. Look, the other kids aren’t crying and only eating one snack is enough. I specially ordered noodles for you, what more do you want?”

“I’m hungry!” Xiong Zunxiang was genuinely hungry.

At home, his grandparents used to love feeding him, and now on the show, he’s exhausted and can’t eat anything.

Xiong Guobing gritted his teeth and said, “Then why aren’t the other kids hungry? You should really lose some weight, you’re so fat, like a pig.”

[My God, is this really his dad?]

[Xiangxiang is a bit chubby, but he’s okay, right? Even if he needs to lose weight, can’t that be done privately? In front of so many people and to be broadcasted, calling your son as fat as a pig on a show is disgusting!]

[Xiong Guobing is the person I hate the most on this show. I wish he would leave, and let Xiangxiang join the show instead.]

[Honestly, his dad isn’t as good as Xiao Jin!]

…

Xiong Zunxiang bawled on set, and Xiong Guobing was so embarrassed. Why was he the only one hungry, always whining about food, when other kids were so well-behaved? “If you cry again, I’m really going to spank you, shut up!”

A roar.

Xiong Zunxiang quieted down completely.

But his body was still sobbing uncontrollably.

He leaned towards Xiao Jin but recoiled a bit when he saw the cold Sister Mu Ran.

Chu Xijin leaned closer and whispered to him, “Don’t cry, I just talked with an aunt, she promised me another snack if I help bring her business.”

“But aren’t they closed now?”

“When it opens, I’ll just post a short video on Weibo.” Chu Xijin patted his back, “It’s okay.”

“Xiao Jin, you’re so nice.” Xiong Zunxiang looked at him, and tears fell again. Such a sweet and cute friend, who didn’t mind him and was always willing to find him some food. He really liked Xiao Jin a lot.

“You’re nice too.” Chu Xijin smiled at him, took out a new handkerchief, and wiped his tears.

[Xiao Jin, I love you so much!]

[Wait… Xiao Jin has so many handkerchiefs…]

[These comments above cracked me up.]

[A warm nephew, a cold aunt, the contrast is very noticeable.]

…

Yang Yingying was a bit worried about Xiong Zunxiang too. Seeing him sorted out by Chu Xijin, she continued, “In the afternoon, both adults and kids have a task. Do you want to guess what it is?”

The kids shouted, “We want to!”

Mu Ran, with a cold eye, looked at her: “No, we don’t!”

Having been best friends for so many years, just by the look in her eyes, she knew she had a devious plan.

Sure enough—

“We need to go treasure hunting in the ghost house, which means one group of adults and one group of kids. Whoever finds their relative first gets a delicious dinner tonight!” Yang Yingying said.

Sister Lin Yuxian raised her hand, “Sister, what if I’m scared going to the ghost house?”

Yang Yingying: “You can wait at the entrance for your brother to find you.”

Lin Wen Yu glanced at Yang Yingying.

Sure enough it’s the ex-girlfriend.

Completely disregarding his safety!

Now it’s all about pushing him into the pit of fire.

Once when they went on a movie date, he got so scared by a horror film that he dove into her arms, and she just laughed.

Thankfully, it was late, and the cinema was empty, or else it would have been truly embarrassing!

Mu Ran was no better.

She wasn’t scared, she just thought the place was a bit creepy.

She absolutely wasn’t afraid, really.

Giving herself a psychological hint that she wasn’t scared, thinking about those images, she said to the much younger Xiao Jin, “Xiao Jin, how about your aunt wait for you at the door?”

[Hahahahahahahaha…]

[Director Mu, don’t be such a coward!]

[Director Mu, how can you be scared of a ghost house?]

[Xiao Jin, please don’t agree with her, I really want to see Director Mu embarrassed!]

…

But, Chu Xijin nodded, “Sure.”

Mu Ran instantly revealed a bright smile, hugging him with a sweet laugh, “Xiao Jin, I really love you.”

With his aunt hugging him, Chu Xijin’s face turned a bit red.

But at this time, Yang Yingying spoke as if whispering like a devil, “Kids can wait for adults, but adults absolutely cannot wait for kids!”

“Damn!” Mu Ran almost cursed.

Facial expression immediately turned cold, when looking at Yang Yingying, she felt like hitting her.

Yang Yingying was fearless, “Let’s go!”

Mu Ran: “…”

She really, really was a bit anxious.

The entrance to the ghost house alone was terrifying, and Lin Yuxian had already started crying, so Yang Yingying quickly let the kids go to the other side, which was usually the exit and less scary.

Right now, in front of the gate, were just five adults. Mu Ran crossed her arms, bowing her head coldly.

Xiong Guobing asked Lin Wen Yu, “Xiao Yu, you’re the youngest, be brave, you go first?”

“Ah… oh… okay.” Lin Wen Yu swallowed, looked back, and called out to Mu Ran, “Director Mu, accompany me!”

When someone shows more fear, it might ease his nerves a bit, and honestly, among those present, he was the most familiar with Mu Ran.

“No way!” Mu Ran responded without hesitation.

She had heard Yang Yingying complain before, Lin Wen Yu was a coward and very fearful of such things.

“We all know each other well, might as well die together.” Lin Wen Yu couldn’t care less now and dragged Mu Ran inside.

Mu Ran also pulled Mao Ziyang along.

The more people, the braver they are!
