Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Don’t Hate Me

[? Are Lin Wen Yu and Mu Ran close?]

[It feels like Lin Wen Yu really has a private relationship with Mu Ran, otherwise Lin Wen Yu definitely wouldn’t dare to mess with Mu Ran.]

[Wow, fans curse Mu Ran to death, but actually the two are quite familiar in private.]

[No, is everyone’s focus on this? Shouldn’t it be that both Mu Ran and Lin Wen Yu are really afraid of ghosts?]

…

“Ahhhhh.” Lin Wen Yu screamed, trying to back away.

Mu Ran was about to go mad, “Get lost, I told you not to pull me, if you step back again, I’ll kick you over there.”

“Mu Ran, you’re really ruthless!”

“Same to you.” Mu Ran now tightly held Mao Ziyang’s hand and found her to be quite calm. He couldn’t help but curiously ask, “Mao Ziyang, are you scared?”

This was Mu Ran’s first time speaking proactively to Mao Ziyang, Mao Ziyang was a bit stunned and shook her head.

“You’re impressive, you go in front.” Mu Ran immediately said.

Lin Wen Yu also wanted to say he wanted to be at the back.

Mu Ran timely stopped him from speaking, “You’re the one who dragged me into this, the instigator. If you’re not standing up front, if any NPC appears later, I’ll kick you right to the NPC!”

“You’re ruthless.” Lin Wen Yu and Mao Ziyang moved to the front together.

Only then did Mu Ran feel slightly more secure. The haunted house didn’t just have one path, plus there were lights and music, and the viewers behind the screen felt scared just watching, let alone being there in person.

At a fork in the path, Mao Ziyang and Lin Wen Yu both turned to look at Mu Ran at the same time, wanting to ask her which way to choose.

Mu Ran was so frightened that she took a step back: “No, can’t you two give me some kind of signal before you turn your heads? The lighting atmosphere makes you two look like one of those…”

Super creepy types.

Especially Mao Ziyang, today there seemed to be something going on with her, she seemed more despondent than usual, and her long hair draped over her shoulders. Just when they passed that path, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her hair. Her hair was tousled and combined with heavy makeup.

Mu Ran was almost scared to death by her.

She squatted down to calm herself.

“Ahhhhh!” Lin Wen Yu screamed, panicking and fleeing.

Mu Ran turned and saw an NPC coming at them with a bloody mouth open wide. She instantly stood up, wanting to run with them, stumbled a bit, and almost fell if she hadn’t grabbed the wall in time.

At this moment, the screen was filled with “hahaha” comments.

As Mu Ran was about to leave, she saw Mao Ziyang looking a bit puzzled, and pulled her along, “What are you doing? I know you’re not afraid, but don’t just stand there stupefied.”

“No, there seems to be a clue on that NPC.”

“Hm?” Mu Ran stopped in her tracks.

Lin Wen Yu, who was ahead, also stopped.

Mao Ziyang suggested, “How about you two stay here, and I’ll go get the clue back.”

“No, we’re coming with you!”

At this moment, Mu Ran’s sense of security was at a negative level.

[Mao Ziyang is kind of brave!]

[Brother Lin is really such a coward, hahahahahaha…]

[I can feel Director Mu’s fear through the screen, never seen her so talkative, hahahahaha…]

[I really love this segment, love seeing these celebrities in such a mess, hahahahaha…]

…

The three returned, Mao Ziyang boldly went to get the card, Mu Ran gave her a thumbs up, “You’re unbelievably brave!”

Mao Ziyang, a bit embarrassed by the praise, said, “No, it’s just that I play escape rooms with friends, and my courage grows with practice.”

“Oh.” Mu Ran nodded thoughtfully.

Then she glanced at the camera, “Are you all laughing?”

[How did Director Mu know, hahaha~]

[The pretty girl is here, as your fan, I also really enjoy seeing you embarrassed, hope you cry even more later.]

[What if we’re laughing, what can you do about it!]

…

Mu Ran brushed her bangs back, squinted her eyes slightly, and a thought suddenly sprang to mind.

So they think it’s funny she’s scared!

Well, she’ll make sure everyone experiences this fear.

Raising her head, she found Lin Wen Yu leaning close to Mao Ziyang to see the card content, Mu Ran raised an eyebrow, suppressed her idea, and curiously asked, “What does it say?”

Mao Ziyang read aloud, “It says, do you know what the child most wants to say to you? If you guess it, you get a reward dish at night, and you can use it as you like.”

The three fell silent.

They hadn’t spent much time with the child, so it was really hard to guess right this time.

Because what they’d say needed to match up with the child.

If they didn’t match, it was pointless.

Mao Ziyang hesitated to say, “Aunt will slowly learn to love herself, as you said, to be her own knight.”

The scene switched to Mao Xiaomiao speaking to the program staff, “I hope Aunt can learn to love herself, be her own knight. If you’re really scared, I’ll try hard to learn to be your knight.”

The NPC immediately gave her an exchange coupon.

With the exchange coupon in hand, Mao Ziyang couldn’t help but tear up.

[Oh my God, I’m tearing up!]

[Xiao Miao’s gaze is firm, Mao Ziyang’s gaze is scattered and hesitant, I think Xiao Miao looks very cool, but inside she’s also a very soft girl. She probably also knows Aunt has been criticized online, which is why she said these words.]

[She has really faced a lot of bad press lately, Xiao Miao is so sweet, I won’t comment on Mao Ziyang’s bad press, but I absolutely love Xiao Miao!!!]

[Xiao Miao’s last words were really heartbreaking, even though Mao Ziyang didn’t say anything, seeing Xiao Miao’s determined gaze made me completely break down!]

[Xiao Miao is really so sweet.]

…

Mao Ziyang tried hard to quickly return to normal, and perked up to ask Mu Ran, “Director Mu, what do you think Xiao Jin would say?”

Mu Ran really didn’t know and randomly said, “Auntie, you’re awesome.”

The scene switched again to Chu Xijin feeling very helpless, “I think in this round Aunt and I will definitely lose, because what I want to say to Aunt is…”

The child paused, his eyes suddenly reddening, and his voice also got a bit choked, “You are the closest person to me in this world, and the one who loves me most. I’m really thankful that you’re willing to take care of me so thoughtfully, giving me a sense of security that I’ve never had, allowing me to be unruly and do many things. Aunt, I’m really thankful, I really love you.”

[??? Doesn’t Xiao Jin have parents?]

[I’m falling apart, so heartbroken, you can feel Xiao Jin holding back his tears!]

[That child’s gratitude seems genuine. I think Mu Ran is really good to Xiao Jin, that’s why he would say that.]

[What has Xiao Jin gone through, I always feel this kid is strong, but definitely lacks a sense of security.]

…

Mu Ran couldn’t see the footage.

She only knew she guessed wrong.

Finally, Lin Wen Yu hesitatingly said, “Brother, come home more often?”

The program group hesitated whether to give it or not and let the audience comment.

Because Lin Yuxian, who was smiling from the start, couldn’t help but sob softly, “Brother, I won’t praise you, you’re not handsome at all, super ugly.”

His sister seemed to think of something, her head tilted, petty lips pursed, “Can you not dislike me, don’t always refuse to come home because of me, Mom and Dad miss you a lot, and I miss you too. If you really hate that I’m taking away Mom and Dad’s love, I’ll make sure to go out when you come home, okay?”
