"It's really not me. I would like to, but I'm afraid you won't be happy."
Lin Muyan snorted, Xiao Chen is speaking the truth.
But no matter who arranged this party, she's not interested. Her goal today is to find Liu Er Bao and take him back as soon as possible.
As for whether or not she was deceived by Er Bao, that is a problem to be solved later. Shaking off Xiao Chen's hand, she leisurely walked along the path, the further she went, the stronger the fragrance of flowers around her became, as if time had been deliberately set to coincide with her appearance. Just as she was less than five meters away, about to reach the center of the stage...
Suddenly, the entire Zone A went dark! Lin Muyan instinctively retracted the foot she had just stepped forward and stood still. But for some reason, she always felt like she could hear someone whispering very close to her...
In the pitch-black darkness where you can't see your own hand, someone is whispering, and even strange incantations come to mind.
Lin Muyan's consciousness suddenly returned to the scene from the movie she had watched before leaving home.
At that time, there was also such a scene.
The female protagonist was surrounded by a group of invisible people. They were laughing eerily, chanting curses, and then the woman was almost possessed by a ghost, nearly going insane. In the darkness, her nerves were on edge, and suddenly she felt a touch on her shoulder. Almost instinctively, she punched the person.
After a muffled groan, there was Xiao Chen's aggrieved accusation.
"It's me, MuMu, it's me, don't be afraid."
Clearly trembling like a sieve, but still holding onto Lin Muyan tightly, afraid that she would be scared, and even holding her in his arms, letting her hide against his chest.
"Yes, I'm sorry, are you okay? I think I was a bit rough just now," Lin Muyan apologized as she tried to see Xiao Chen's face, but unable to, she could only feel her way up and touched something soft, only to be pushed back down by the man.
"Don't move, I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable."
Embracing her beloved, their skin touching, she continued to tease by touching her own neck all the way up, something no man could resist.
Xiao Chen only felt a tightness in his lower abdomen, and in a panic, he took a step back with his lower body. The surrounding voices seemed to grow louder, Xiao Chen furrowed his brows, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. He struggled to resist the intense feelings for someone, while also resisting the fear in his heart, a difficult task. He dared not move, only able to maintain his embrace, protecting Lin Muyan. His back was soaked, unable to distinguish whether it was from excessive cold sweat or the rain that had soaked him earlier.
And just behind the stage not far from them, Wen Zimo was urgently shouting at the stage manager with an anxious look on his face.
"It was only because you assured me that everything was foolproof that I entrusted it to you. Now what do we do? Hurry up and figure out a way to restore the power!"
What was supposed to be a lovely reunion party has now turned into a chaotic and sinister ritual.
"Mr. Wen, please don't worry. We have already contacted the person in charge of the campsite's electricity. They said it's a short circuit and it will take a few minutes to fix." Wen Zimo's temples throbbed. He had unwittingly caused trouble, and now he could already imagine himself being scolded in the near future. "Should we light some candles or something? Let's get these extras out of here. We can't scare people like this in the middle of the night!"
He glared angrily at the group of people still dancing in the dark, "Thanks to" these people starting early, the situation is now even harder to handle.
"You need to calm down first, or maybe you should be honest with them first."
Liu Er Bao patted his shoulder lightly, took a few deep breaths, and tried to psych himself up.
She pointed to the two pitiful figures shrouded in darkness, then turned her head helplessly, unable to bear looking any longer. When the power was restored, Lin Muyan finally felt the long darkness fading from the depths of her heart. She turned back from Xiao Chen's embrace in a daze, only to discover a group of people gathered around her. They were all extras in costume, each with a word on their clothing that formed a sentence when put together.
"Let's meet up."
Xiao Chen At this moment, Xiao Chen's face had completely darkened, and his gaze fell steadily on the man who had poked half of his head out from the side of the stage!
Wen Zimo Seeing that he couldn't escape, Wen Zimo forced a laugh and sneakily walked out from behind the stage.
Following behind him is Liu Er Bao, who has been on Lin Muyan's mind all night. The two of them are clean and not a single water stain can be seen on them, not at all like the instigators of this farce. "Can anyone explain to me what's going on tonight?"
Lin Muyan heard Xiao Chen's low, angry voice and only then noticed the two of them. Her face changed immediately, taking a few quick steps forward and raising her hand, but she couldn't bring herself to strike. Instead, Wen Zimo instinctively moved to shield Liu Er Bao, allowing the slap to graze his own face.
"Um, can this slap make up for my mistake tonight?"
Lin Muyan stood in a daze, head lowered, as she heard Wen Zimo sigh and ask Xiao Chen behind her.
Obviously, in his eyes, Xiao Chen's "violence" is more serious than a slap.
...
Ten minutes later, inside the small villa in Zone A.
"This whole thing is my fault," Wen Zimo said, glancing at Liu Er Bao, who was hanging his head low, and confessing voluntarily. "It's because I couldn't stand seeing you moping around every day after being dumped. I came up with this lousy trick to help you reconcile."
Xiao Chen glared at him, as if it was his fault now?
Wen Zimo raised his hand in admission of his mistake, "I thought Lin Muyan has such a stubborn temper, and if we were to take the normal route, she definitely wouldn't see you. So I worked with Liu Er Bao to plan this whole thing. You have no idea how much running around I've been doing lately just to create a decent stage. Look at how slim my waist has become."
"Do I still need to thank you?"
Wen Zimo forced a laugh, "No need, no need. This is all part of my job."
Lin Muyan: "..."
She knew Wen Zimo was smooth-talking, so he must have picked something pleasing to say. She turned to look at Liu Er Bao, who was hanging his head and dared not look at her. She let out a long sigh.
"Do you know how worried I am about you?" Just one sentence, Liu Er Bao's eyes turned red. "I know I was wrong, Sister Yan, I won't dare again." "I bet you will dare next time."
Lin Muyan pinched her soft ear and didn't pursue it further.
But even though she didn't pursue it, Wen Zimo didn't have it easy.
In order to discipline him, Xiao Chen has already called the Wen family, and it is said that Wen Zimo's father was so angry to hear that his son had come back and kept it from him that he almost fainted, and he scolded Wen Zimo over the phone.
Wen Zimo sat silently on the carpet, glaring at Xiao Chen with a sulky expression after being scolded harshly. "In the end, I was just trying to help. Did you really have to make my dad kick me out? Now I'm completely homeless."
"You can say a few more words, and I guarantee you'll be truly homeless right now," Xiao Chen replied nonchalantly, then got up to look out the window. The campsite, now restored with electricity, revealed its original appearance. Several people were slowly dismantling the temporary stage, and the roses in the central area were being rearranged back into their original pattern.
Wen Zimo suddenly stood up from the ground and said, "Xiao Ge, I was wrong!"
Lin Muyan ignored their lively reaction and just now Liu Er Bao told her that there is a famous ancient town scenic spot behind this campsite. She wanted to go and take a look.
I've been busy with work recently and haven't had much chance to relax.
Liu Er Bao knew that Lin Muyan has always had a fondness for ancient towns. Seeing her looking forward to it, he asked her to wait for him and hurried back to the room. He took out two jackets and gave one to Lin Muyan.
"After the rain, it tends to get chilly," she said with a smile when she saw that Lin Muyan wasn't angry.
They want to take a stroll in the ancient town. Naturally, the two boys will not let them go alone, so a group of four people set out. There is an ancient bridge connecting the ancient town and the campsite, with a quaint and nostalgic atmosphere, exuding a sense of the times. Lin Muyan and Liu Er Bao had just stepped onto the bridge when several sky lanterns suddenly rose from below the bridge. The paper surface swayed with indistinct candlelight, rising with the gentle breeze and gradually passing over their heads.
The number of sky lanterns is slowly increasing. Lin Muyan is led by Liu Er Bao to lean on the bridge, only to see that many households in the ancient town are lighting sky lanterns under the bridge. After asking around, they found out that today is their own lantern festival.
Usually, at this time of year, there is a constant stream of tourists coming here to stay, and they have even initiated a reservation system several times. But perhaps due to the bad weather these days, the number of sightseers has decreased significantly, giving Lin Muyan and the others the opportunity to see such a spectacular sight.
The river water shimmers under the flickering of candlelight and lantern light, as if a fine, glittering gold has been sprinkled under the plain moonlight, peaceful and serene.
Two girls couldn't help but want to go in and take another look.
Wen Zimo glanced at the time, "How about another day? It's quite late today."
Before he could finish his refusal, Lin Muyan cut him off impatiently, "There are still so many people shopping. You're welcome to leave whenever you want, but you need to think it over. I'm giving you a chance to make up for your mistake."
She looked at Xiao Chen as she spoke, and the latter immediately understood and nodded towards Wen Zimo. He looked like a henpecked husband. Wen Zimo didn't dare to say another word and quickly changed his tune, "The sky is getting dark, and the atmosphere in the ancient town is the most intense. It's good to take a walk around."
He looked around and fixed his gaze on a nearby store. "Just wandering around is boring. Look at the strong ancient flavor here. You two beauties should change into some appropriate clothes to make the photos better." His eyes were fixed on a Hanfu rental store. Liu Er Bao's eyes lit up as he patted Lin Muyan's shoulder. "Sister Yan, they sell Hanfu there!"
Lin Muyan is also happy to smile. The boss of the shop is a Hanfu enthusiast, similar in age to them. Upon entering the shop, she exchanged only a few words before familiarly selecting suitable styles for the two of them. "This chest-length dress is very suitable for you. Look, your chest is big enough, this kind of one-piece style will gather you up like a delicate beauty, and your skin tone is relatively darker, a light orange color is just enough to brighten. This set is rented by a lot of people in my shop."
