Chapter 480 - Chapter 480 Chapter 480 Cunning Su Qingqing

Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Cunning Su Qingqing Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Cunning Su Qingqing Yu Fan and Cheng Yi sheepishly withdrew their gazes.

This was too easy to make them feel shy, making it awkward for everyone else.

“Big Bro Lu, if you’ve got plans, just tell us bros, and we’ll help you out,” Yu Fan said with great enthusiasm.

Cheng Yi indicated count me in.

Lu Shiran rolled his eyes in a straight-guy manner and said, “You guys are thinking too much, women are nothing compared to inventions.”

He had no interest in Su Qingqing.

It was just that he didn’t dare to get too close to someone so delicate and frail, in case he accidentally bumped or hurt them, which would be a real hassle.

And besides.

No woman, no matter how beautiful, could compare to his sister.

He was the person who had sworn to follow his sister for a lifetime.

After they entered the amusement park, Su Qingqing headed straight for the horror room.

The horror room at Starlight Amusement Park was notoriously frightening, with nine out of ten people being scared out of their wits.

Lu Shiran looked at the ominous entrance and swallowed hard, his voice involuntarily trembling, “Isn’t this too intense?”

“I’ve never tried anything like this before and have always wanted to. It’s not often we get the chance.”

Su Qingqing let out an “oops” and hesitated, “I forgot to ask if you guys are up for it. If you’re scared, how about waiting outside for us?”

Lu Shiran’s gaze turned to Qiao Yun.

Her eyes were cool and clear, her small face buried in the scarf, fair and innocent-looking, not scared at all.

Lu Shiran thought, this won’t do.

If such a fragile girl like his sister isn’t scared, what’s there for him to be afraid of?

“I’m not scared, I want to go too,” Lu Shiran said with conviction.

As he finished saying this, he wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination, but he thought he saw a momentary look of disappointment on Su Qingqing’s face.

Uh…

It must be his imagination.

Li Miao told Qiao Yun, “If you get scared, just grab me.”

Qiao Yun, with an expressionless face, said lazily, “Not scared.”

“How can you not be scared? Don’t be shy now,” Li Miao reassured Qiao Yun not to worry about being made fun of.

With a tone that held a hint of trying something new, Su Qingqing suggested, “Why don’t you hold my hand, cousin? Maybe that will make you feel safer?”

“No need,” Qiao Yun refused.

Su Qingqing responded with an “oh,” sadness in her eyes.

Qiao Yun’s eyelid twitched, feeling like Su Qingqing’s next sentence would be, do you dislike me?

So she added, “I’m not scared.”

Su Qingqing found the brave act of the little one quite cute, thinking that now she says she’s not scared, but once they’re inside, she’ll still end up seeking comfort from her.

The expressionless cousin seeking her comfort.

Oh no, she was kind of looking forward to it.

Su Qingqing said, “Let’s go in.”

As a man, Lu Shiran didn’t want to be outdone by the women, so he mustered up his courage and declared, “I’ll lead the way.”

As the door pushed open.

A ‘ghost’ with disheveled hair, half-rotten face, and all-white eyes dropped from above, landing right before his eyes.

Lu Shiran felt his body hair stand on end and couldn’t restrain a manly roar, “GHOST–!”

The sound was so chilling that it startled everyone except Qiao Yun.

“Crap! Where’s the ghost, where’s the ghost?”

Lu Shiran caught his breath with a frightened whimper: Eee eee eee… So scary.

Qiao Yun stepped forward and gently patted Lu Shiran’s back, her voice carrying a soothing calmness, “Don’t be scared, don’t be scared.”

Lu Shiran sniffled, his voice hoarse, “I’m not scared at all.”

If it weren’t for his reddening eyes, Qiao Yun might have actually believed he wasn’t scared.

Su Qingqing: “…”

Tsk, disdainful.

“How about you wait outside for us?” Su Qingqing suggested.

“I’m fine now, I just wasn’t mentally prepared earlier, but I’m ready now,” Lu Shiran said, puffing out his chest, trying to look unafraid of ghosts.

Qiao Yun: “Mhm, you’re not scared.”

“Next time, keep it down a bit, I was almost scared to death,” Li Miao said, still rattled. Lu Shiran had blocked whatever it was, so she hadn’t seen it and naturally wasn’t frightened.

Lu Shiran embarrassedly let out an “Oh.”

“All right, let’s keep going,” she suggested.

Yu Fan and Cheng Yi quickly moved in front of Lu Shiran to protect him on both sides.

Lu Shiran’s face turned bright red, embarrassed.

Seeing this, Qiao Yun took out her phone and tapped a few times. After a moment, she put her phone away and warned Lu Shiran, “According to the pattern, when you open the next door, someone will grab your leg.”

The ghost that was about to come out: “…”

Quietly withdrew their hand.

That took the fun out of it.

Su Qingqing, looking at the calm and composed Qiao Yun, started to question her life. Why wasn’t she whimpering yet?

Probably because she was worried Lu Shiran would get scared again.

On the way, Qiao Yun calmly disclosed the next potential ghost encounter to Lu Shiran in advance.

The effect was very successful. With psychological preparation, Lu Shiran indeed wasn’t frightened anymore.

The ghosts: “…”

Is there no way left for us ghosts?

After coming out.

Su Qingqing had a gloomy expression on her face.

Lu Shiran admiringly said to Qiao Yun, “Sister, how come you’re not afraid? That’s so cool.”

“They’re not ghosts,” Qiao Yun spoke calmly, “They’re all people. Why should I be scared?”

Lu Shiran thought to himself, true to his sister’s unique way of thinking.

“But how do you know when a ghost will appear?” Li Miao curiously asked.

“My sister is so smart, she must have figured it out through analysis,” boasted Lu Shiran.

Qiao Yun didn’t answer.

In reality, upon seeing how frightened Lu Shiran was, she had obtained the haunted house layout.

In her own amusement park, it was very easy for her to find out anything she wanted to know.

Su Qingqing didn’t lose heart.

If the haunted house was a flop, then the roller coaster was next.

Witnessing Qiao Yun step off the coaster with an unchanged expression.

Su Qingqing smiled and suggested, no worries, let’s try the free-fall ride.

Qiao Yun remained unfazed.

Su Qingqing bit her lip, her face showing disappointment.

Li Miao sensed something was off, narrowed her eyes, and grasped Qiao Yun, saying, “Qiaoqiao, your cousin really doesn’t like you.”

“Huh?” Qiao Yun was puzzled.

Li Miao explained, “Didn’t you realize? She’s been taking you to all these thrilling rides, probably to scare you out of your wits, then laugh at you–with such a good scheme! Even more ruthless than Lu Ting.”

Qiao Yun blinked, looking at Su Qingqing who was studying the amusement guide.

She tilted her head slightly, her expression confused.

Su Qingqing heaved a heavy sigh in her heart.

What lousy games, not fun at all.

For the remainder of the trip, Su Qingqing found that whenever she wanted to talk to the little girl, Miss Li would always interrupt with a protective look as if she were some sort of demon or monster.

Su Qingqing wore a contemplative look.

What happened?

As the day ended, everyone had a great time.

Except for Su Qingqing, who hadn’t made any progress in her closeness to Qiao Yun.

Seeing Su Qingqing’s lack of enthusiasm, Qiao Yun couldn’t help but think–was it because she hadn’t shown fear, that’s why she was unhappy?

So, did Su Qingqing dislike her?

Su Qingqing drove Qiao Yun home.

Meanwhile, at the amusement park’s entrance, an ordinary and unremarkable man, lost in the crowd, watched as Qiao Yun left the park.

He took out his phone and made a call.
