The creepy music paired with mist and the occasional little toy popping up in his face could not have been more childish to Ji Chi.
But he was rather curious whether Wen He would still wear that blank expression if those little toys popped up in his face. Or would he throw himself into Ji Chi's arms in terror and ask him to take them away?
The thought of fear possibly appearing on that blank little face made Ji Chi laugh out loud.
But his smile soon vanished. Irritably, he kicked over a fake rock blocking his path and continued forward with his hands in his pockets.
That ungrateful little thing. Why did he keep thinking about him?
He, Ji Chi, refused to become someone whose feelings could be swayed by another person.
He hated this, and now he would start hating Little Wooden Head too... Oh, no, he meant hating Wen He.
Hmph...
After chasing off another NPC, Demon Dragon headed straight for the exit.
Unexpectedly, he saw someone he hated...
Jiang Ye took the initiative to greet Ji Chi when he saw him emerge from the haunted house.
All he got in response was a view of two dark nostrils.
Ji Chi walked over to the food the production crew had prepared and chose the seat farthest from him.
Jiang Ye did not mind. After all, as far as he was concerned, they should count as romantic rivals now... No one expected their romantic rival to be particularly friendly toward them.
Ji Chi had no idea what the other man was thinking. All he knew was that he now hated this sanctimonious man too. Really hated him.
The man always acted as though he had everything under control, and Ji Chi hated it.
The production crew told them to have some fruit first while they waited for the others.
Ji Chi remained impatient, sitting with one leg crossed over the other. Anyone could see that he was in a foul mood.
Jiang Ye chose to ignore him. He had no desire to invite trouble at a time like this.
Soon, amid a series of screams, Zhang Shengsheng emerged from the haunted house, pale-faced and clinging to Jiang Yu's arm as the latter dragged him out.
Was Jiang Yu scared?
Yes.
But he was even more afraid of noise. From the moment Zhang Shengsheng went inside, those high notes had never stopped. By now, he felt as though his eardrums were about to shatter.
Still, Zhang Shengsheng was very loyal... Even when the NPCs got right up in his face, he never once thought of leaving alone. Instead, he clung tightly to Jiang Yu's arm and kept burrowing into his embrace, occasionally letting out a few more high notes.
Jiang Yu trembled until his pupils lost focus.
[That's fucking dead!]
[So damn loud. Can someone save my ears?]
[Forget saving you for now. Someone save Male Lead Two. I seriously think he's about to die...]
[Ah... Zhang Shengsheng... Yeah, very loyal. He even remembered to drag Jiang Yu along.]
[I'm dying hahahaha. Male Lead Two must be desperate for him to leave immediately and abandon him so he won't have to suffer.]
[All right, enough talking. Shengsheng, can you give me a high note that shatters the world?!]
His gaze lingered on the two of them for only a moment before quickly moving away.
He wasn't among them...
Ji Chi withdrew his gaze, his lower leg jiggling faster and faster. He could not explain how he felt right now, but he felt that he could not let a pet dictate his emotions.
The dream had said he would fall in love with Zhou Siyu, but after interacting with him, Ji Chi had felt no interest whatsoever.
Since that was the case, Ji Chi turned to look at the still slightly shaky Zhang Shengsheng, a smile curling his lips.
Zhang Shengsheng did not understand. He had clearly left the haunted house already, so why did chills keep running down his back...?
Soon, three more people emerged from the haunted house-the remaining three.
He had clearly told himself not to look anymore, yet his gaze kept fastening on that slightly pale face. Even the tuft of hair on top of his head seemed to have drooped a little.
He must have been terrified...
A trace of regret suddenly welled up in Ji Chi. He did not need to take first place, so why hadn't he waited a little longer outside the entrance? Wei Xun and Zhou Siyu were absolute trash. They could not even protect him in a haunted house.
Though that was what he thought, Quan Chongnian's words still struck hard at his heart.
That buddy of his was trash too. All he knew how to do was eat, drink, and have fun.
Seeing that the three looked rather pale, Jiang Ye hurriedly offered them the juice he had prepared.
Wen He kept his head down and did not look at Ji Chi in the distance. Instead, he held his orange juice and gulped it down.
This was the farthest apart the two had ever been, seated at opposite ends of the seating.
Wen He had never been to a water park before and had not expected it to be so thrilling. This time, he really had been frightened...
Only after finishing the entire half cup of juice could he suppress the fear in his heart.
He wondered whether Ji Chi would be scared. He probably wouldn't, right?
Why? Why did he always think of him? Why did he have to be curious?
Was it because of the dream? He already had someone to play with now. He did not need Wen He anymore.
In that case, he should just stop thinking about him...
But the thought of seeing a doctor grew clearer and clearer in his mind. He decided to see Doctor Wang tomorrow to find out whether something had gone wrong with his brain.
His brain could not break. He still had artwork to draw.
Lost in thought, he did not notice someone calling him. Only when Zhou Siyu shook his arm beside him was he pulled out of his thoughts.
To Ji Chi and Jiang Ye, he looked as though the haunted house had scared his soul right out of him...
Ji Chi became increasingly convinced that Wei Xun and Zhou Siyu were both trash. After glaring fiercely at them, he slowly picked up a french fry and even dipped it in ketchup.
Once he had done all that, his hand froze in midair with the french fry. In the end, he still stuffed it into his mouth, and the sweet-and-sour ketchup filled his taste buds.
Ji Chi barely chewed before swallowing it.
He hated tomatoes and ketchup.
Guessing that Wen He might like ketchup, Jiang Ye pushed the entire serving of fries closer to him.
Wen He gave Lawyer Jiang a grateful look. He really was a good person.
Ji Chi did not understand what was so good about that crap. Did he like it that much?
[Everyone, watch Male Lead Five's expression. This episode's main attraction.]
[Sigh, watching them have a lovers' spat hurts me as a shipper.]
[I hate Male Lead Five. I'll never forget that water splashed on Male Lead One. He must have been so cold...]
[Not just his body. His heart was even colder.]
[Actually, Male Lead One probably went all that way to the log flume because he guessed Male Lead Five might go on it... I don't think Xiao He really likes thrilling rides like that. Someone else must like them.]
[He was smiling on his way to see you, only to get a bucket of cold water thrown over him when he arrived. His heart shattered into pieces.]
[Forget it. Go have your bad ending. I think Lawyer Jiang is pretty great. I support Lawyer Jiang.]
[Why isn't anyone mentioning Male Lead Seven? Male Lead One has voted for Male Lead Seven every single time.]
[Those two... have no romantic chemistry, only friendship vibes.]
[What do you mean... no chemistry?! Male Lead One is a top!]
[You can only fool yourself with that. Who does he look like a top with?]
[Except Zhang Shengsheng.]
[Then get together already~]
And so, dinner was both harmonious and bizarre. The harmony belonged to everyone else; the bizarreness belonged to Ji Chi, Zhang Shengsheng, and Wen He.
Caught in the middle, Zhang Shengsheng was in agony. He did not like pumpkin, but Ji Chi was acting like a crazed bull, actually using his chopsticks to put pumpkin on his plate. He did not dare eat it... but he had no choice but to eat it.
Very bizarre, huh~ Everyone, you can guess tonight's voting results~ Who do you think everyone will vote for?~
No prize even if you guess right. Keh heh heh heh heh.
