[Love and Producer] Passive strategy

Li Youxue was slightly taken aback, and when she looked closely at his hand, she saw that it was a pendant - especially, that pendant was made of translucent red crystal, carved in the shape of an apple.

"The apple on Christmas Eve represents peace." Zhou Qiluo explained with a smile on his face. "Now, I give this blessing to you!"

"Thank you." When Li Youxue was about to reach out to pick it up, she hesitated. "Should I give you a gift in return?"

"You don't need to return the gift!" Zhou Qiluo shook his head nonchalantly, the tiny light flickered in his blue eyes, and he looked at her with special mystery. "If you really want to thank me, accompany me to a place!"

Li Youxue couldn't help but start thinking, Zhou Qiluo had already planned the possibility of this trip.

"Come on, Youyou, I'll help you put it on!" Zhou Qiluo seemed to have thought of some terrible idea, and smiled sweetly at her with her lips pursed.

"...Okay." Li Youxue nodded hesitantly, turned around in cooperation, and asked uncertainly after thinking about it: "Do you need me...to squat down?"

"...you are too much, you little one!" Zhou Qiluo accused her aggrievedly, as if to prove his height, he deliberately wrapped his hands from behind her to her neck, dropped the crystal apple on her chest, and then wrapped it around her again. Wear it on the back for her.

As if feeling his intentions, Li Youxue looked down at the sparkling crystal red apple, and sincerely thanked: "Thank you, Qiluo."

"You actually made fun of my height..." Zhou Qiluo murmured, and suddenly put his arms around her neck from behind, and put his chin on the top of her head. "Damn it, I don't want to accept your thanks." Having said that, his tone was full of smiles.

The hot air from his breath lightly sprayed on the top of Li Youxue's hair, making her slightly uncomfortable.

"...Why, take advantage of me?" Li Youxue glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, trying to ease her discomfort by teasing.

"That's not it!" Zhou Qiluo rubbed her head feigning anger. "I just think... your shampoo smells good, I just want to smell it more."

"Really?" Li Youxue nodded. "Then I can recommend it to you, She Yulei's water lily essence."

【...Are you serious?Are you still teasing Zhou Qiluo? ] The system that had been watching couldn't help it anymore, and began to complain about Zhou Qiluo.

Li Youxue was expressionless: "Since he can tease me casually, why can't I tease him casually."

【…】The system was speechless.

"Really? I will definitely try it!" Zhou Qiluo looked very interested.

"Look, he took it seriously anyway." Li Youxue reminded the system.

System: […] Look at Zhou Qiluo, it really hates iron but not steel.

"Okay! Come on, let me have a look!" Zhou Qiluo's voice was full of eagerness and vivacity. He smiled and grabbed her shoulders, making her turn around, his blue eyes fixed on her collarbone. Among crystal apples.

The white sweater she wore today had a low neckline, which just exposed her milk-white skin, and the crimson, translucent crystal apple appeared even more dazzling.

"Sure enough, it's as beautiful as I imagined!" Zhou Qiluo jumped up visibly, without thinking, he reached out and touched the pendant. "I like you very much! It seems that I have chosen well!"

Li Youxue was slightly taken aback by his actions.

Then, she saw Zhou Qiluo lightly touching...the skin at her collarbone with a dazed expression.

——The smooth and delicate touch made him look at his fingertips in disbelief, and his sluggish brain could hardly respond.

Li Youxue was silent for two seconds, then asked him delicately and dangerously: "Do you... still want to continue?"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" "I, I, I didn't do it on purpose! I just, just conveniently..."

"Oh," Li Youxue agreed without a soul, and raised her hand to touch his neck - this action just touched his Adam's apple, which made people feel soft and elastic through the skin. "Then, I'm fine too."

"Eh?!" Zhou Qiluo shrank back abruptly, blushing and widening her eyes. "Youyou! What are you doing!" He pointed at her, unable to utter a complete sentence.

"You! What's the matter with you?" Li Youxue intentionally imitated him and spoke in a panicked tone, and then calmly asked him: "Isn't there still somewhere to go? Won't you go?"

"...that's too cunning." Finally realizing that she was joking, Zhou Qiluo's cheeks were still flushed, and he looked away unwillingly, but quietly took her hand. "Let's go..."

Seeing him in such an embarrassment for the first time, Li Youxue wanted to take a few more glances with great interest, but Zhou Qiluo gave him a reproachful look: "If you keep doing this, I won't protect you later?"

"Okay, I won't make trouble anymore." Hearing the possible direction from his few words, Li Youxue nodded clearly and comforted her casually. "Then you must remember to protect me."

"No problem!" Zhou Qiluo immediately patted his chest to express his determination. "From this moment on, I am your superhero Zhou Qiluo!"

Li Youxue hesitated for two seconds, but still couldn't bear to accept this childish stalk, so she chose to ignore it.

Ten minutes later, two people were standing in front of a small building.

Li Youxue glanced at the signboard with the word "Haunted House" written in strange fonts, and then looked at Zhou Qiluo with a very complicated mood: "So, this is the place you mentioned?"

"That's right!" Zhou Qiluo nodded, explaining seriously. "I heard that this haunted house has restored the sets of many horror movies. It's very scary! I've wanted to bring you here for a long time!"

"Horror movie?" Li Youxue murmured and repeated, thinking that Zhou Qiluo was so confident, could it be that he was not afraid because he acted in it himself?

"Don't be afraid!" Thinking she was worried, Zhou Qiluo held her hand tightly. "The content in horror movies is all fake! The ghosts are played by actors, and the blood is made of syrup and pigment... I even drank it! It's very sweet and delicious!"

...The celebrity is really pitiful. After being banned from sugar by the manager, he was reduced to drinking fake plasma?Li Youxue looked at him seriously.

"So, let's go!" Zhou Qiluo smiled at her and led her forward. "I will protect you!"

There seemed to be strong anticipation in his blue eyes, and when Li Youxue saw it, she couldn't bear to tell him the truth, "I'm not afraid, but what if you are."

So, the two walked into the gate of the haunted house.

"...It's kind of dark, I can't see." Li Youxue subconsciously followed Zhou Qiluo forward, while expressing her opinion - she has a bit of night blindness due to picky eaters, and she can hardly see anything under this condition.

"Yes, it's a bit dark, but just follow me closely! I, I'm here!" Zhou Qiluo was very calm, but his trembling tone gave him away. "Look, there's nothing in front of you..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a flash of light in front of him.

With the light of that moment, Li Youxue finally saw the place clearly - a long corridor with quaint doors on both sides.

"That's a spotlight!" Zhou Qiluo realized and immediately blocked her. "Don't be afraid, be good."

Li Youxue looked at his stiff back speechlessly, and muttered to the system: "Shouldn't I be the one who said that to him?"

System: 【...Well, can't you give him some face? 】

"But now that nothing has come out, is he afraid of this?" Li Youxue complained a little speechlessly.

System: [... Pay attention to men's self-esteem, self-esteem. 】It can only help Zhou Qiluo get here!

However, with a bang, the door closest to them opened at this moment.

"Ah!" Zhou Qiluo yelled out without holding back, and hurriedly pulled Li Youxue away. "According to my experience, ghosts will appear behind the door, let's go first, remember not to look over the door..." Probably to relieve tension, he kept thinking.

Li Youxue responded, gradually getting used to the dark eyes, and began to notice some things, for example... Zhou Qiluo was trembling.

"...Qi Luo, are you afraid?" She sighed and asked sympathetically.

"I am not afraid! How could I be frightened by these old routines?" Zhou Qiluo was so excited that he almost jumped up, and sternly denied it. "You underestimate me, don't you? I'm..."

With a "huh", the wind came from nowhere, blowing the snow-white curtains at the end of the corridor.

Zhou Qiluo, who was halfway through the speech, immediately froze from fright, completely forgot what he was talking about, and just buried her head and dragged her away.

Li Youxue didn't even bother to tease him anymore, she concentrated on observing her surroundings, and then managed to see a figure at the corner of this corridor.

"Qiluo." She called out as a reminder.

"Huh?" Zhou Qiluo agreed reflexively, raising his head unconsciously. "—Ah!" Obviously, he also saw the shadow coming towards them.

Li Youxue couldn't help but hold her forehead, pulled Zhou Qiluo up, turned a corner, and walked into another fork in the road.

"...Uh, what the ghost did just now was quite realistic, haha, I was almost scared." Zhou Qiluo defended himself with a dry smile.

——Where is "almost", is it simply frightened?Li Youxue wanted to laugh a little, and quietly watched him forcefully pull back his respect.

"Youxue, are you afraid?" Zhou Qiluo asked her while calming down and pulling her to continue walking.

"Not afraid." Li Youxue shook her head. "It's two people together, what's there to be afraid of?"

"You're right!" Zhou Qiluo turned to look at her, his blue eyes were still shimmering in the darkness. "As long as I'm with you, I'm not afraid at all! I will protect you well!"

Although he knew that this kid was very afraid of ghosts, and he was probably pretending at this time, Li Youxue nodded cooperatively.

With the help of a weak light source, she could see that Zhou Qiluo smiled at her with a comforting meaning: "That's it! You just have to trust me and rely on me! The superhero Zhou Qiluo will clean up for you." All obstacles!"

It sounds a bit touching, but Li Youxue actually wants to say: before removing the obstacles, can you "clear" yourself out of the haunted house?
