How Did the Top-Tier Male Lead Fall in Love With Me? 47p1

Chapter 47 Part 1

The amusement park booked by Wonderful Adventure was not too large. Generally speaking, excluding the waiting time, it could be played through in one or two hours.

Even though there were only six visitors in the huge amusement park now, in the long four hours, it was enough for them to meet many times.

Half an hour after the competition began, Shen Wu and Meng Huaizhi skipped a few closed amusement park rides and found a haunted house that was decorated like a cave from a distance.

In this kind of amusement park competition, the show’s team would not let go of a haunted house that was 100% guaranteed to have an effect. Whether it was the guests being scared to death by the ghosts, or the ghosts being kneaded into a ball by the guests, it was a full-fledged highlight.

And at the entrance of the haunted house not far away, there were two figures, a man and a woman.

When Lin Yanran saw them, her first reaction was not to greet them warmly, but her expression was strange, “Don’t…”

Then she smiled brightly and waved, “Come here, there’s a task here.”

Shen Wu did not suspect anything and immediately went over with Meng Huaizhi.

As soon as Shen Wu arrived, he was stared at curiously by Lin Yanran. Lin Yanran’s gaze went up and down for a while, and she said hesitantly, “Why are you…”

“Ah, this?” Shen Wu took the initiative to take off the cat ears on his head. “We sold the treasure. There are a lot of merchandise in the Miu Miu store, which can be bought with the gold coins exchanged for the treasure.”

He then showed the cat ears to Lin Yanran. There was no price tag on them, so it was not a treasure prepared by the show’s team.

But Liang Shu frowned and questioned, “Why did you sell the treasure?”

Meng Huaizhi said truthfully, “It was a chair, and it was not easy to carry around. The amusement park rides here also require money to play.”

Lin Yanran let out a meaningful “tsk” and joked, “Those who don’t know would think you’re not here to play a game, but to date.”

Shen Wu was silent for a moment, and a faint blush flew onto his cheeks. “It’s true. You’ll know when you see the highlights version.”

In the last episode, Lin Yanran had firmly grasped the script. In this episode, Lin Yanran was the best mouthpiece for the audience in the live broadcast room.

After the guests had finished chatting, the staff at the entrance of the haunted house finally spoke, “Because you have accidentally entered the forbidden area of the Miu Miu Haunted House, you need to find the exit in the Miu Miu Haunted House before you can leave from here.”

Shen Wu was taken aback, “Huh?”

Lin Yanran’s smile was subtle. This was obviously the reason she had called the two of them over.

Shen Wu had just done the balloon shooting task with Meng Huaizhi and knew at a glance that this was also a task. He was not worried but happy and eagerly walked over, “Then let’s go in and find the exit now.”

The staff member spread his arms and stopped him, “The Miu Miu Haunted House opens every half an hour.”

Meng Huaizhi asked, “Then how long do we have to wait now?”

The staff member: “Fifteen minutes.”

Shen Wu was unconcerned, “It’s just right for a short break.”

They had been riding their bikes all the way, not in a hurry at all. Fifteen minutes was not long. Lin Yanran and the other, who had deliberately pulled them into the fire pit, must have been waiting for a longer time than them.

“Mm,” Meng Huaizhi nodded. “It’s good. If we had come a dozen minutes later, we might have had to wait for a full half an hour.”

Lin Yanran, who had to wait for a total of 28 minutes: “…”

Meng Huaizhi also had an unconcerned attitude and said unhurriedly, “And this is not a punishment, it’s a task point.”

“A task point?” Lin Yanran was surprised.

“Mm,” Shen Wu, who was leading by a large margin with a huge sum of money, kindly answered her, half-truthfully, “The prop we sold was obtained by playing other amusement park rides.”

“Ah,” Lin Yanran was not too dejected. “Forget it, it’s good to have a few more people. Hey, I don’t want to go into the haunted house even if there’s a reward…”

The fifteen-minute waiting time quickly ended.

The staff member at the door spoke on time, “Now, please come and pay the entrance fee to enter the haunted house.”

Lin Yanran and Liang Shu: “?”

Isn’t this a punishment? They don’t have a single penny.

The staff member: “Since Liang Shu was the first to arrive, he is our first guest, so we’ll give you a special discount of free admission. Now, please have the others come and pay, 100 yuan per person.”

Lin Yanran: “…What if we don’t have money?”

The staff member: “If you don’t have money, you can use a treasure with a value greater than or equal to 100 yuan as a mortgage. Or, we can help you apply for a loan from the Miu Miu Bank. The interest rate per hour is 100%.”

Lin Yanran: “Then if I use a treasure as a mortgage, will I get change?”

The staff member: “No.”

Lin Yanran: “…” She had never seen such a shady shop in her life.

Meng Huaizhi listened silently from the side and judged from the conversation between the two that Lin Yanran had also found a treasure with a value greater than 100 yuan.

For the sake of their friendship on the Racing Heartbeat set, Shen Wu generously offered a helping hand, “Sister Yanran, I can lend you. Just return it to me before the game ends, no interest.”

And the 100 yuan that was a huge sum in Lin Yanran’s eyes was nothing to him, only enough to buy half of his cat ears.

Lin Yanran beamed with joy, “Okay, I’ll go and sell the treasure later and return it to you. I didn’t expect that we had to pay first to do a task…”

Shen Wu bought three entrance tickets, with 500 yuan left.

They had been leading the way on their bikes before. Besides having more cash, the total value of their treasures might have fallen behind, with only a 200 yuan cat tail, which was equivalent to 100 yuan per person.

The two of them were determined to show off their skills in the haunted house.

Before entering the haunted house, Shen Wu had to leave the bicycle at the entrance.

Before they set off, the staff member took out four wristbands, “Please wear these heart rate monitoring wristbands. Be careful not to be scared. There will be someone at the exit to calculate your scores.”

The four of them had no objections and put on the wristbands.

Just as they walked into the pitch-black haunted house, Lin Yanran had already started to shrink her neck. To relieve her fear, she looked at her wristband and murmured to herself, “I’m definitely going to be last.”

In a place like a haunted house that tested one’s courage, the level of one’s heart rate was most likely inversely proportional to one’s score.

Liang Shu comforted her, “Don’t worry about the score. As long as we find the exit, we can get out. Maybe there will be an extra reward for a good score, but that’s okay. We can still go to other places to do tasks.”

Shen Wu, on the other hand, was happy at Lin Yanran’s words.

He glanced at Meng Huaizhi’s unusually cold and stern face in the darkness and thought to himself, This time, they’re sure to win!

He had never been to a haunted house before, but he wasn’t very scared in the abandoned school last time, so it should be about the same this time. Meng Huaizhi was even less of a concern. Even if the sky fell, his brow would not wrinkle.

However, as they went further in, the four of them gradually found that the level of darkness in the haunted house was completely different from that of the abandoned school.

In the abandoned school, they needed to avoid the “ghost’s” pursuit. No matter how dark it was, they could at least see the road clearly. But the inside of the haunted house was almost pitch black, and they could only move one small step at a time.

There were occasional faint glimmers of light by their feet, like fireflies in the night, shining alone, but they could not dispel the slightest darkness.

The follow cameraman’s camera had turned on the night vision mode, and what was presented in the live broadcast room were a few hazy blue human figures in the darkness.

Because the corridor was narrow, and the guests needed to face the first wave of scares from the “ghosts,” the cameramen all followed behind them. The frontal shots were mainly taken by the cameras in the corners of the walls and would be put in the highlights version later.

Especially since Shen Wu and Meng Huaizhi were walking in the front, the audience couldn’t even see their complete backs clearly and were so anxious that they were frantically venting their dissatisfaction in the bullet screen.

“Ah!! What touched me…”

Suddenly, a high-pitched scream from a girl sounded.

Shen Wu, who was walking in front, was also startled and turned his head. The petite Lin Yanran had been so scared that she had thrown herself into Liang Shu’s arms.

There was a three-second silence.

Lin Yanran recovered, took a step back in embarrassment, and explained, “Something just reached out from the side and touched my hand. It was cold…”

The four of them looked over. In the spot Lin Yanran had avoided, a skeleton was surrounded by a dim yellow light and a pile of weeds.

The grayish-white bones and the hollow eye sockets were indeed a bit eerie.

But it was clear that it was just a plastic prop that couldn’t move.

“It’s really scary to be suddenly touched…” Lin Yanran defended herself.

In the darkness, even just touching an ordinary object that could be seen everywhere in daily life would inevitably make people feel scared. This fear came from the unknown, and from the suddenness and unexpectedness.

Lin Yanran’s heart, which was in her throat, could not be put down at all. She unconsciously clutched Liang Shu’s arm, and Liang Shu quietly and steadfastly provided her with support.

Shen Wu noticed the intimate posture of the two of them, almost snuggling together, and inexplicably felt a little at a loss. “Then… should we continue forward?”

He turned around, and the follow cameraman behind him finally got a shot of his full face.

The audience in the live broadcast room seized this rare opportunity to carefully interpret his micro-expressions.

[Baby, you’re a baby who’s at a loss when you see your sister and brother-in-law dating.]

[Hahaha, Shen Wu’s expression is just like when I go out with my couple friends.]

[Where’s Huai-ge? What are you doing, Huai-ge? Such a good opportunity is right in front of you. Why don’t you hurry up and take it?]

Shen Wu continued to lead the way with Meng Huaizhi in front.

“Be careful,” Meng Huaizhi suddenly stopped him. “The road is getting narrower. There are obstacles on both sides. Be careful not to trip.”

“Mm, okay,” Shen Wu replied, then turned back to pass on the message, “You guys be careful too.”

The path in the haunted house was winding, sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, at most allowing two people to walk side by side.
