Gu Tiantian was seething with anger and, for a moment, forgot her fear.
She almost wished she could spit at Zhang Caidie.
Her own boyfriend was also a member of the ancestral hall team, and she hadn’t missed Zhang Caidie’s glances drifting over her boyfriend either.
How could she have such a big appetite?
Gong Qiming furrowed his brows, about to refuse.
But Ou Chi agreed before he could, thumping his chest with an air of manliness, like a rutting gorilla.
"Don’t worry, Brother Chi will protect you!"
Zhang Caidie coyly moved closer to the three of them, especially trying to squeeze herself between Gong Qiming and Ou Chi.
Rong Leyi found it essential for survival to step aside and raised his hands high towards his girlfriend to show his innocence.
Gong Qiming rolled his eyes surreptitiously and swayed the keys in his hand as he headed towards the ancestral hall.
Looking at Zhang Caidie a few more times might bring up his lunch—a meal that was too expensive for him to waste.
"Let’s go too," Yue Qingqing led her group toward the tunnel.
The planners of the ghost house were just wickedly clever.
They scared you when you least expected it, in utter silence.
The flashlight suddenly swept over the tunnel walls, revealing several ghastly green faces in front of everyone.
Gu Tiantian abruptly clung to Yue Qingqing, pressing herself against her.
Yue Qingqing coughed a couple of times from the tight hold.
"Lighten, lighten up."
Yue Qingqing felt that Gu Tiantian’s sudden cling was scarier than any ghost could ever be.
Pei Zhe and Wu Manbai watched the two girls, their faces revealing a kind smile befitting elders.
The crying and laughing of young girls held a special charm in their eyes.
Meanwhile, Yue Qingqing was quickly identifying clues from the messy objects on the stone wall, recording them in her brain with photographic precision.
Just then, a series of frantic screams echoed from afar.
The screams weren’t just isolated yells but were intermittent and increasingly shrill.
Gu Tiantian couldn’t help but criticize, "Is she crowing?"
She recognized that the voice belonged to Zhang Caidie.
When everyone hurried over, they found Zhang Caidie sprawled on the ground in the square, a complete mess like a pool of mud.
Ou Chi rushed out from the ancestral hall in a panic, "What happened?"
The door had suddenly been locked from the inside, and he couldn’t get out despite hearing the noise; it took Gong Qiming’s effort to unlock it before he could see what was happening.
Zhang Caidie, trembling and outrageously upset, pointed at Gong Qiming.
The people in front of the monitors were nearly dying of laughter.
From start to finish, Zhang Caidie had been clinging to Gong Qiming, but for once, the man didn’t dodge as usual.
Seeing this, the others exchanged knowing looks, and one of the male scriptwriters chuckled, turning to Qiao Jing.
"A hero’s downfall, the beauty trap."
Qiao Jing remained unflustered and unperturbed, used to her artist, who was both laid-back and talkative, but certainly not blind.
Then, everyone watched in plain sight as the ghost house staff, dressed as ghosts, stealthily followed behind several people from outside the ancestral hall.
Gong Qiming suddenly grabbed Zhang Caidie’s wrist.
Zhang Caidie was elated and instantly pressed close.
"Brother Qiming, ahhh..."
Like a grenade being thrown, Zhang Caidie was tossed out, coming face-to-face with the "ghost."
Completely unguarded, utterly unprepared.
In my world, bringing me an "unexpected" joy.
And then came the crowing-like screams that everyone heard.
Gong Qiming even took the liberty of closing the door of the ancestral hall behind him.
Even Qiao Jing couldn’t help but feel sorry for Zhang Caidie.
You treat him as a conquest, and he treats you as a tool for exorcism.
Zhang Caidie might not be the nicest person, but Gong Qiming is truly mean!!!
