Zhou Ci explained, “My cousin insisted on coming to the amusement park, and being the great cousin that I am, I brought him here right away! What about you? Why are you at the amusement park?”
Gu Dai, looking at Gu Yin, softly said, “I brought my cousin here to play too.”
Zhou Ci, excitedly responded, “What a coincidence! I’m not very familiar with amusement parks either. Let’s play together later.”
Gu Dai didn’t mind, and after asking Gu Yin, who was indifferent, she agreed.
Then she asked, “Where’s your cousin?”
Zhou Ci, startled, looked around and finally spotted Zhou Le on the merry-go-round, looking utterly dejected.
Zhou Le had ended up on the ride as it was about to start, and because he had two tickets, he even went twice.
Zhou Le was no longer in the mood to deal with Zhou Ci, but to confirm his earlier suspicion, he reluctantly joined in on many more rides.
Unable to bear it any longer, he pulled Zhou Ci aside and asked, “Do you like Sister Gu Dai?”
Zhou Ci didn’t answer but covered up after a few seconds, “What would you know, you little kid?”
Zhou Le scoffed, “I know a lot more than you think. Why don’t you confess to that sister if you like her?”
Zhou Ci didn’t respond and walked towards Gu Dai, but as he approached, he suddenly felt something was amiss.
Frowning, Zhou Ci asked, “Song Ling, what are you doing here?”
Song Ling coldly replied, “Just passing by.”
Gu Dai glanced at Song Ling and then turned to Zhou Ci.
Realizing he had shared a post on his social network, Zhou Ci quickly checked his phone and saw Song Ling had liked his post, making him feel guilty.
Alright, it was him who had inadvertently revealed their location.
At the office, Song Ling had been unable to concentrate, constantly distracted by Zhao Xuan’s pitiful glances.
Song Ling, in a serious tone, questioned Zhao Xuan, “What happened?”
Zhao Xuan, frightened, quickly shook his head, but eventually couldn’t hold out and confessed, “Young Master Zhou Ci seemed to have gone to the amusement park with Miss Gu Dai…”
Song Ling’s heart sank. He couldn’t even continue his work, Zhao Xuan’s words echoing in his mind. When he came to his senses, he found himself at the amusement park, walking up to Gu Dai.
Ignoring Song Ling, Gu Dai said to Zhou Ci, “It’s getting late, let’s go home.”
Zhou Ci, not daring to mention the haunted house they hadn’t visited yet, quickly nodded in agreement.
Unaware of the situation, Gu Yin asked in confusion after hearing Gu Dai’s words, “Cousin, weren’t we going to visit the haunted house later? I was really looking forward to it.”
Gu Dai relented, “Let’s go.”
Song Ling followed them into the haunted house.
Zhou Le, like a worried old mother, advised Zhou Ci, “Cousin, be smart later. When you see Sister Gu Dai scared, you must be the first to comfort her. Don’t let any other man beat you to it. This is your chance to be a hero!”
Zhou Ci, seeing Zhou Le’s excitement, quickly nodded in agreement, “Okay.”
Song Ling’s expression darkened upon hearing Zhou Le’s words, his gaze fixed on Gu Dai, ready for any moment.
To their disappointment, Gu Dai was not afraid of ghosts at all.
For her, some living people were far more terrifying than ghosts.
Gu Dai softly asked, “Yinyin, are you scared?”
Gu Yin shook her head, excitedly saying, “Not at all, cousin. I’m really looking forward to the story!”
This haunted house was not just about ghosts scaring people; it also had a corresponding plot.
Gu Dai smiled and nodded, “Me too.”
As they finished speaking and looked up, they saw a ghostly woman with long black hair, dressed in white and covered in bloodstains.
Her voice was low and sharp, crying out, “He doesn’t love me. I was his wife, but he didn’t love me. He even killed me for his lover, haha. I cared for him for two whole years, but he had no lingering affection and killed me!”
Gu Dai’s gaze turned cold, memories of her caring for Song Ling flashing through her mind..
