Chapter 249 - Taking Shameless Advantage
After enjoying their ride on the huge swing, Siying, Jian, Nian and Nuo came cheerfully hopping back to their parents. Xinyi handed a few small bottles to the kids. "Drink a little water."
Jun was lazily chomping on his seemingly endless cotton candy, wearing a cat ears band on his head. Nuo had bunny ears on her head while Siying had a Mickey Mouse headband. Baby Jin was wearing a Pikachu headband.
?
Of course, Jian and Nian refused to stay behind. Jian wore an angel's band and Nian had a devil one. Together, the kids took lots of pictures, adorably posing in front of the camera.
Nana looked at the map in her hands. "Hmm…where should we go next? On this side, there is a small superhero skit for children and here there are a bunch of games for them to play. Which side shall we go first?"
Jinhai and Zhiyuan peeked at the map from the back. Their eyes gleamed seeing a particular attraction. They placed their finger on that spot at the same time.
"Here."
Xinyi and Nana grimaced.
Xinyi said in dismay. "Zhiyuan. That is a horror house. We cannot take the kids there. They are too small for that. I don't want Siying to have nightmares."
Nana agreed. "Yes, yes, we cannot go there."
Zhiyuan said, "We are not going there for kids," he grinned as he looked at Xinyi, "It's just for Xinyi and me."
"As for you and me, Nana."
Their mouths twitched.
"The kids have been on a lot of rides and they are tired. Until they restore their HP, we will have our own fun as adults."
The twins said, "We are not really tir-"
One sneaky cold glare from Jinhai immediately shut the twins' mouths.
"You ARE really tired, right?" He slowly asked.
"...Yes, Dad. We are really tired. Oof, our feet are aching so much."
Jinhai nodded in satisfaction. "En."
Jian and Nian lacked tears to shed. They had endless energy to spend, but Jinhai's warning was clear. If they said anything unnecessary, they can kiss their fun goodbye.
Jun sneered at his brother's dramatics. Siying and Nuo were busy playing rock-paper-scissors in their own world. Nobody was there to support the poor twins.
"Baaaaaaaa…" Jin laughed at them.
The twins cried even harder.
Now, you are making fun of us too?
Nana cleared her throat. "I still don't think it is appropriate…"
"Y-Yes," Xinyi quickly nodded.
Zhiyuan smiled. "You don't have to be scared, Xinyi. I will be with you~"
"I am not scared of horror houses!" She glared at him, feeling embarrassed.
Jinhai didn't comment anything but his gaze expressed the same thing as Zhiyuan. Nana gritted her teeth. "Why are you looking at me like that? I am not scared either!"
"Great! Then let's go!"
"No, no!" Xinyi objected. "Who will take care of the kids if we are not there?"
Zhiyuan chuckled. "You don't have to worry about that, Xinyi. Mu Chuanli has assured us that his staff will look after the kids until we are back. They are professionals, so you can be at ease."
"..."
They really had no way out.
---
Inside the horror house, the car was a two-seater just perfect for couples. Jinhai and Nana already took the first car and left earlier much to Nana's protest.
Xinyi timidly looked around in the dim light. The weird paintings hanging on the wall were creeping up on her. In one of the paintings, she saw the woman's eyeballs move left and right and she shrieked.
Zhiyuan held his laughter. "What's wrong?"
"Y-you saw that…? Her eyes moved!"
"Really? Where?" Zhiyuan inched closer until his cheek hovered and almost touched hers. "Show me."
"There. T-that painting…" she stammered.
Xinyi pointed her finger and turned her head that bumped into him. Her nose softly touched his cheek. She stiffened seeing Zhiyuan so close.
"Why are you standing so close?" Her heart skipped a beat.
"To see the painting that scared my wife so much," he innocently said.
She clenched her jaw in frustration. "I wasn't scared at all! Just a little shocked!"
Their car arrived and the staff opened the gate. "Sir, Mam. Please step inside."
Xinyi's legs were slightly shaking. "Y-you know I am feeling really bad for Siying. It's better that we don't go," she righteously said, "How can I have fun leaving my son outside?"
Zhiyuan rolled his eyes and showed her some pictures of Siying playing with the Liu kids. He was laughing as if he already forgot about his parents.
"..."
"He is not lonely, rest assured."
The car slowly started wheeling along the path. As it moved further into the darkness, creepy and sinister laughter sounds began to echo in the house. The light on the roof blinked as if it was going to fall upon them at any moment.
Xinyi gulped and subconsciously shifted towards Zhiyuan. His face brightened like the sun to realize that it was working. Taking advantage, he quickly pulled her waist and said, "Don't be scared. It's all just fake."
The fear in her increased so much that she didn't even realize that Zhiyuan was shamelessly clinging on to her. He grinned in satisfaction.
Yup heaven does exist~
From Xinyi's side, an ugly ragged doll with a bloody face and an ominous smile suddenly jumped on her.
"Ahhhhhh!!!!"
Xinyi immediately jumped on Zhiyuan and clutched him as hard as she could. She tightly shut her eyes as she buried her face in his shoulder.
The happiness that bloomed in his heart knew no bounds. Of course, he didn't let the chance go of hugging her in his embrace. In that small car with restricted space, they sat in the middle, tightly holding onto each other, making Zhiyuan wish that this never ends.
He patted her head. "That doll is gone now."
"R-really…?" Her meek voice was barely audible.
"En."
She fearfully raised her head and opened her left eye only.
Phew…
She suddenly froze on realizing that she was in Zhiyuan's arms.
He-he is taking advantage…!
