don't sacrifice

"Are you... nervous?"

Xiaobai and Zhou Qichen were at the back of the line. Zhou Qichen noticed that Xiaobai was looking over there with a nervous expression, and his Adam's apple was rolling up and down, as if he was swallowing saliva.

"...It's okay, but I heard that this is quite scary." Xiaobai said so, but there was uncontrollable tension in his eyes, "I don't think we should be able to win against them..."

"Don't say that, have confidence in yourself." Zhou Qichen winked at him, cheering him up, "I'm here."

That sentence seemed to really give him strength, Xiaobai's fear was eliminated by half.Don't look at him being able to grab the gun heroically in front of the gangsters, but when facing this haunted house, he seems to have changed back to the boy who curled up in Zhou Qichen's arms back then.

"Are you all ready?"

Seeing that everyone was ready, the owner of the haunted house picked up the loudspeaker again and explained to a group of people, "There are three roads to choose from in our Red Street Fujii Hospital. Everyone can take risks according to their own ideas. In the end, the three routes will meet. Gather together, there is our ultimate ghost boss. This competition is to see who comes out last, that is, the one who stays the longest! We have already mentioned the championship prize, a huge red envelope! Now everyone can enter Adventure, must pay attention to safety!"

As soon as the boss finished speaking, the enthusiastic couples rushed into the 'hole' hand in hand, their faces filled with nervousness and excitement.Xiao Bai took a deep breath, turned to Zhou Qichen and said, "Let's go in too!"

After speaking, his hand consciously wrapped around Zhou Qichen's arm like a water snake, and slowly moved forward behind Zhou Qichen.

"Why, you dare to hold hands with me at this time?" Seeing his appearance, Zhou Qichen couldn't help joking, "Isn't it just a haunted house? How did you become so timid?"

"Less, less nonsense! Everyone has something that they are particularly afraid of. I have been particularly afraid of ghosts since I was a child, can't I? When I was young, I always watched "Approaching Science", and now I feel guilty when I hear this surprise!"

"...You haven't seen the ending of every episode, right? You won't be afraid after seeing the ending." Zhou Qichen couldn't help complaining.

At this moment, they had been left behind by a large group of people, and just as they moved to the entrance, they heard a woman's piercing laughter from inside, mixed with strange sound effects and creepy cries.Xiaobai's face changed suddenly, he got under Zhou Qichen's coat, and wrapped himself completely with his coat.

"...I, I, I, I will stop looking at the road, you take me with you!"

This sudden feeling is like a little rabbit getting into his arms, feeling that he is completely trusted and relied on by the other party.Zhou Qichen hugged the little rabbit with a smile, and smoothed his hair to try to give him a sense of security.

"It's okay, don't force it. If you are afraid, just shout out, and I will pick you up and run outside immediately."

"No...I'll try to stay as long as possible." Xiaobai moved in his coat, moved behind him, hugged his waist from behind, and his whole body was covered, "Okay, now I can't see anything in this position, let's go inside!"

Said to go, but in their current position they could only rely on moving.Zhou Qichen's coat was pushed up into a big bag, with two extra legs underneath, and he was struggling to explore and move forward in the dark haunted house.

"Aww" seems to be a visitor from hell, calling people from a distance.Xiaobai's hand firmly grasped Zhou Qichen's sweater.

"Hey..." A resentful sigh sounded in their ears, like a red-clothed female ghost hiding in the darkness, watching their every move with blood-red eyes.Xiaobai's arms hugged him even more tightly.

"Hehehehe, hehehe..." The urchin's laughter came from nowhere, but it didn't sound like a normal child's voice, it seemed to carry the breath of death. "Woo!" At this moment, Xiao Bai directly lifted Zhou Qichen's sweater, and got in again.The cold nose was pressed against Zhou Qichen's back, and his small face rubbed against it, causing Zhou Qichen to straighten his back in shock.

"Hey, let me say..." Zhou Qichen stood up helplessly, "We haven't encountered a ghost yet! It's just a few sound effects, come out and have a look, they are all fake... That speaker is still hanging there!"

"I don't!" Xiaobai closed his eyes and rubbed against his back vigorously, like a bunny with furred fur, "I won't, I don't want to see anything!"

Although it feels good to be so close to him like this, but...Zhou Qichen looked awkwardly at his waking up somewhere, which was particularly obvious under his tight jeans.

"You'd better come out quickly, I don't want to be said to have reacted to a bunch of ghosts in the haunted house..." He turned his head quietly, and said to the bump behind him.

"Damn it!" Sure enough, upon hearing this, Xiaobai immediately lifted off the double protective cover and jumped out.His little face was flushed, and his hair was messed up.

He pushed back a step, raised his finger and said to Zhou Qichen, "Zhou Qichen, you love beast! Why don't you just... just like that, damn it, you won't let go of a haunted house!"

He pointed at Zhou Qichen and complained as if he was not afraid of ghosts, but Zhou Qichen found a female ghost in white clothes quietly floating behind him.The female ghost looked at Xiao Bai who was exploding, hesitated for a moment, then slowly stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to pat him on the shoulder.

Xiaobai also noticed something, his movements became stiff, and he subconsciously wanted to turn around.

"Don't look!" It was too late, but the moment the female ghost was about to put her hand on it, Zhou Qichen grabbed Xiao Bai back into his arms and wrapped him tightly.

"Don't scare him." Zhou Qichen's voice sank, and he whispered to the female ghost in an orderly tone.The female ghost was actually intimidated by his eyes, and she was stunned for a while and quietly retreated.

And Xiao Bai in his arms naturally touched the place where the head was raised, his face was hot again, but he didn't dare to move.

"Come on, let's walk slowly." Seeing the female ghost walk away, Zhou Qichen slowly let go of Xiao Bai, took his hand, and stood in front of him, "I'm here."

Amidst the miserable screams and weird music, Zhou Qichen's broad back was always in front of him, holding his hand tightly with one hand, and protecting his back with the other.

"Get out of the way."

Along the way, there were many 'ghosts' trying to scare them, but Zhou Qichen resisted them one by one.The sweat from Xiaobai's palms gradually melted in his palms, and his frown slowly relaxed.He actually didn't cry out at all, just because he didn't see a ghost along the way.

"We're almost at our final location."

He heard Zhou Qichen say to him, "Listen, their screams are getting less and less, some people probably couldn't stand the horror there and ran out, can you still hold on?"

"Ah."

Xiao Bai nodded lightly, "I think I'm fine, since you're here anyway."
