Chapter 732: Chapter 730 Secret Crush 2_1

Although there weren’t as many people in front of the Scream Room as there were for other attractions, there was still a considerable queue.

When lining up, Jiang Qingchen had intended to stand with Xu Zeming and let Muxia stand in front of him.

But who knew that she would slip in between him and Xu Zeming like a slippery eel?

From a distance, the two tall and handsome young men stood with a girl in the middle, who looked like a little rabbit.

The girl was wearing light blue casual pants and a short-sleeved T-shirt, topped with a duckbill cap. Her cheeks were flushed, faintly emitting pink bubbles.

She turned around, had to tilt her chin up to see the boy’s face, her eyes and mind full of him.

"Xu, are you hot? Shall I fan you?"

Xu Zeming gently refused, "No need, I’m not hot. You should fan yourself, junior."

Whining, the senior is really so gentle. Even his rejections are spoken so sweetly.

Muxia’s little heart beat even faster and she asked, "Then are you thirsty, senior? Shall I go buy you some water?"

The girl’s voice was tender and sweet, similar to the lychee-flavored soda from earlier.

Jiang Qingchen’s face grew increasingly somber, and the sour bubbles in his chest kept escaping, leaving him feeling somewhat out of breath.

Finally, Jiang Qingchen couldn’t hold back any longer and started coughing violently, interrupting their conversation.

"Wow! What’s wrong with you?" His acting was too convincing; Muxia jumped in shock, thinking something serious had happened to him. She immediately stopped paying attention to her beloved Xu and hastily tiptoed to pat his back anxiously.

He was really too tall, making the gesture of patting his back look very strenuous.

But the girl, despite the effort, did not give up. She bit down and continued patting until he stopped coughing, at which point she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Qingchen, how are you feeling? Do we need to go to the hospital?"

Jiang Qingchen lifted his eyes to see the girl drenched in sweat, panting heavily, her chest heaving intensely, her eyes full of concern, and even a layer of tearful mist from being frightened.

He felt a bit guilty—if only he had played along.

"I’m fine; don’t worry about me."

Muxia pursed her lips, held back her tears, and said with lingering fear, "You really scared me. I thought you had heatstroke! I was terrified!"

Seeing how worried she was, Jiang Qingchen felt not only remorse but also joy.

She cared about him.

How nice.

He teased her, "Does your family cough when they have heatstroke?"

Muxia thought about it and then felt embarrassed.

Right, someone with heatstroke should just faint, so why would they cough?

Alas, she had embarrassed herself in front of Xu again.

She wondered if Xu would think she was a shallow, ignorant girl.

Muxia was really worried, so she couldn’t help but steal a glance at him.

Xu Zeming happened to look down, and their gazes met. He smiled as if he could read minds, "It’s alright, knowing now is just as good."

"Mhm, mhm!"

Muxia nodded her head happily.

Great, the senior didn’t think she was a shallow woman!

Jiang Qingchen could feel the joy radiating from her even without turning his head, and he couldn’t help but curve his lips coldly.

Happy, huh?

He wanted to see if she would still be this happy after they entered the Scream Room!

If Muxia’s thoughts had moved away from Xu Zeming just a little bit, she would have realized that the Scream Room was no place for singing. But her mind and eyes were so full of him that she failed to notice the terrifying graffiti on the walls around her.

It wasn’t until after they entered, when a gust of cold wind and faint screams reached her ears, that Muxia felt something was amiss.

How could a place for singing be so eerie and terrifying?

Especially the wall opposite her, which even had bloody handprints.

Muxia felt her legs trembling. She hugged her arms, struggling to swallow her saliva. With stiffness, she asked the two boys beside her, "Isn’t this a place for singing?"

Jiang Qingchen remained silent, too indifferent to bother with her.

Xu Zeming curled his lip slightly and shook his head, "Of course not."

A singing place, indeed. It was almost laughable what she could come up with.

If it weren’t for maintaining his image, Xu Zeming would really have loved to jump up, point at her nose, and burst into roaring laughter right now.

This girl was simply his source of endless amusement!

Jiang Qingchen added kindly from the side, "This is the Thrilling Secret Chamber, also known as a haunted house."

No sooner had the words fallen than the girl’s round, watery eyes were filled with terror. She shook even more violently, like a sieve, as if she could collapse to the floor at any moment.

"A haunted house?"

Muxia turned as pale as a sheet, her face completely drained of color. She shivered uncontrollably, not wanting to stay another second.

She tried to run, but her legs felt stiff, and her feet seemed to be tightly suctioned to the ground, no matter how hard she tried.

At this unfortunate moment, the door closed with a "clang."

Jiang Qingchen curved his lips, offering a well-meaning explanation, "Just a heads-up, once you’re in here, you can’t get out."

Muxia: "...!"

His words were like a death sentence. Muxia felt as if an invisible hand was strangling her throat; she could hardly breathe.

She... She couldn’t leave?

Was she going to die here today?

Filled with panic and fear, tears almost spilled from her eyes. With rapid, labored breaths, her legs gave way, and she looked like she was about to collapse.

"Be careful!" If Jiang Qingchen hadn’t quickly caught her, she probably would have hit the floor.

"Didn’t you say you wanted to accompany Xu for some fun? Why are you so scared now?" Serves her right!

Jiang Qingchen huffed, mocking her, but deep down he felt somewhat regretful and even a little guilty.

If he had known she’d be this scared, he would have told her sooner.

Muxia grimaced, her voice trembling low, "I didn’t expect the Scream Room to be like this... And why didn’t you tell me earlier?"

She didn’t believe that Jiang Qingchen was unaware of what this place was.

"I thought you knew, so I didn’t want to spoil your fun," Jiang Qingchen deflected calmly.

Muxia: "..."

"Junior sister, don’t be afraid, it’s all fake," Xu Zeming said softly, comforting her with lowered eyes and a smile. "If you’re really scared, just sit here, and Jiang Qingchen and I will look for the way to clear the room."

"But..." Could she not go?

The wall stated that if they didn’t find a way out within half an hour, the door would open automatically.

But seeing how eagerly Xu was looking, Muxia’s voice weakened. She found a small stool and sat there, shivering.

In the dimly lit secret chamber, with eerie lighting, there were loads of horrifying props.

They loomed and lurched, emitting various ear-piercing heart-stopping screams, as if undergoing the cruelest and most miserable tortures.

Muxia...
