On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

When Zhao Yueyue saw that a two-person carriage had become available, she immediately insisted on pulling Huang Mao to ride in the same carriage.

Although Huang Mao looked disgusted, Zhao Yueyue still forced him to sit on it. Seeing his stiff expression like a wooden block because of the stares of the people around him and his shame at playing with such a childish facility, Zhao Yueyue kept giggling.

She simply enjoyed Huang Mao's embarrassment.

Soon, another two-seater became available. Su Yuqing got off the white horse and experienced the two-seater feeling with Chen Mo again.

The two sat side by side, feeling the seats rise and fall, as if they were floating in the air together, experiencing a unique sense of ease and joy.

No wonder couples like to play this; the feeling of easily getting closer to each other in this ordinary way is really comfortable.

As Huang Mao stepped off the carousel, he looked relieved to have escaped his ordeal, while the other three seemed to be having a lot of fun.

Having only experienced two attractions, Su Yuqing and Zhao Yueyue, who rarely visit amusement parks, were already quite happy. They were even more excited for the rest of the experiences. Chen Mo and Huang Mao served them throughout, exchanging a smile before continuing to follow them as they explored the park.

"Cotton candy! I want to eat that!" When passing by a huge pink cotton candy stand, Zhao Yueyue couldn't move away again.

Huang Mao immediately took out his money and bought her one.

Chen Mo glanced at Su Yuqing and saw that she didn't seem to want to eat it, but she seemed to like cotton candy, so he bought one for her too.

Holding the huge, cloud-shaped sugar flakes in your hand, you can feel the sweet aroma spreading even without tasting them.

Su Yuqing held the cotton candy in her hand and examined it closely, thinking that the person who invented it was a genius.

It's amazing how they can make sugar so interesting.

"Try it," Chen Mo said with a smile.

Su Yuqing nodded, carefully sticking out her pink tongue to lick it. The sugar strands instantly stuck to the corner of her mouth, and she wiped them off with the back of her hand, feeling a little embarrassed.

Chen Mo couldn't help but chuckle as he watched her clumsy movements. He naturally reached out and gently wiped away the sugar stain with the pad of his thumb.

The warm, brief touch of fingertips sent two blushes quickly spreading across Su Yuqing's cheeks, like they were tinged with the pink of cotton candy.

"Ahem, there are people around here, you two should be mindful of your behavior." Huang Mao said with a mischievous grin, looking at the two who were practically drooling.

Zhao Yueyue immediately turned her attention to watching the drama unfold.

This made Su Yuqing's face turn even redder.

After strolling around and experiencing rides like bumper cars and pirate ships, etc.

Finally, they arrived at today's "main attraction"—the haunted house.

The eerie entrance is designed as the gaping maw of a monster, from which come eerie screams and ghostly green light.

"Wow! We're finally here!" Zhao Yueyue rubbed her fists together, her face full of anticipation. "I heard this haunted house is super scary! Let's go!"

Huang Mao stared at the dark entrance, swallowed hard, and forced himself to remain calm: "Tch, it's all fake, what's there to be afraid of?"

Chen Mo subtly moved closer to Su Yuqing and asked in a low voice, "Are you scared?"

Su Yuqing looked at the entrance, her heart did beat faster, but she still shook her head and whispered, "With...with you here, I'm not afraid."

She herself felt that saying this was a bit bold, and her face turned even redder.

"Okay, stick close to me." Chen Mo's voice carried a reassuring quality.

The four people lined up to enter. The light suddenly dimmed, leaving only eerie green and red flashes.

The passageway was narrow and cramped, filled with the smell of dust and blood from props.

The further you go in, the colder and more damp the air becomes, and the stronger the musty smell of dust, mixed with a faint trace of disinfectant.

The corridor was narrow, the walls were peeling and mottled, and it was covered with all sorts of incomprehensible medical drawings and distorted "human models".

The eerie background music, mixed with sobbing, metallic scraping, and dragging sounds, constantly assaulted the eardrums.

"Ah!" A shrill scream came from around a corner ahead, startling Huang Mao, who was leading the charge.

"Damn it!" he couldn't help but swear.

Zhao Yueyue was in high spirits, using her phone as a light and for taking pictures (although she was quickly reminded by staff to turn it off). As she walked forward, she commented, "Wow, this fake blood is quite realistic! Tsk tsk, that skeleton, does it have a herniated disc?"

"My goodness, can you please stop commenting?" Huang Mao complained, looking around warily.

"Ah—!" Just around the corner, a "zombie" with a tattered rag hanging from its head and a hideous face suddenly popped out of the wall, accompanied by a piercing scream.

Zhao Yueyue shouted excitedly and leaned forward to see the details.

Huang Mao was so frightened that he jumped up and down, instinctively grabbing Zhao Yueyue's arm.

"Yellow Hair! You're hurting me!" Zhao Yueyue cried out, trying to shake him off, but Huang Mao held on tightly, and she closed her eyes, afraid to look. "This thing is too real!"

"What a wimp!" Zhao Yueyue said with disdain, but she didn't try to shake him off anymore. She let him hold her arm and kept complaining about how cowardly he was.

Chen Mo and Su Yuqing, who were walking behind, were also ambushed.

A disheveled "female ghost" hung upside down from the hole in the ceiling, her long wig almost brushing against Su Yuqing's face.

Su Yuqing gasped in fright, instinctively shrinking back and instantly pressing herself into Chen Mo's arms.

The warm, soft flesh embraced me, carrying a faint scent of sandalwood and the sweetness of cotton candy.

Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly reached out and put his arm around her shoulder, protecting her to his side.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." His voice, steady and powerful, clearly reached Su Yuqing's ears amidst the noisy ghost screams and Zhao Yueyue's complaints.

Su Yuqing's face was pressed against his warm chest, and she could hear his steady and powerful heartbeat, which drowned out the wailing and howling around them.

The initial shock was instantly replaced by a tremendous sense of security, followed by an indescribable flutter of excitement and shyness.

Instead of retreating immediately, she took advantage of the darkness and allowed herself to rely on this warmth and protection.

This is the real meaning of visiting a haunted house.

The passageway was narrow and winding, with all sorts of traps and mechanisms.

Chen Mo's arm remained firmly around Su Yuqing, shielding her from any potential obstacles and always ready to offer her support should she be frightened.

Each time she was suddenly startled, Su Yuqing would involuntarily shrink a little closer to him, and Chen Mo's arms would tighten a bit more.

The thin ambiguity between the two silently intensified and fermented under the deliberately created atmosphere of terror and close contact.
