Chapter 39: Yu Fan, I really--

Chen Jingshen looks at the darkness in his hand, and obediently pauses to breathe.

A few seconds later, the nose was released.

"Silly you, covering your nose and not using your mouth?" Yu Fan's finger touched his chin and tapped him lightly, "Gasp!"

Yu Fan didn't withdraw his gaze until the person underneath him resumed undulating.

The people outside have detained the sedan chair for half a day without any intention to come in. Yu Fan patience was worn out, pressed Chen Jingshen eyes of the hand slightly relaxed a little, just ready to go out to see what the situation.

The next moment, the sedan chair curtain was lifted by a pair of white hands with a swish! The red light from outside illuminated the inside of the sedan chair -

The npc's arms were braced on their sides, and the ghostly HD □□□ rushed to Yu Fan's face, which was countless times more terrifying than before.

She opened her bloody mouth and a piercing scream came straight out.

Yu Fan is bold enough, in this kind of confined space is still a bit unbearable, not to mention that this npc seems to be here to take revenge, screaming ten times louder than before.

Grass.

Yu Fan's hand, which had just withdrawn a little, slammed back, covering Chen Jingshen's eyes again.

In the next second, Chen Jingshen's arm behind him suddenly curled up, covering his eyes as well.

The female ghost NPC's screams stopped after a long time.

She ruffled the hair in front of her face and stared at them for a few seconds, before slowly backing away with a low "uh-ah" sound as she retreated from the stage.

Yu Fan's eyes were dark, and he felt that his eyelids were a little hot. For a very brief moment, his mind could only pick up the temperature and flavor of Chen Jingshen's hand.

The moment the thrash music stops, Chen Jingshen lets go of his hand.

Yu Fan snapped back to his senses as his eyelids went cold. Almost immediately, he got up with his hands bent at the waist, swung open the curtain of the sedan chair with his fist, and flew out.

Just in time to run into the other three who had come out looking for them.

"Shit, this light is too netherworldly ......" Wang Luan was scared but couldn't help but look left and right, blinded by the red light on the ground.

Yu Fan stood in the light, her skin and white shoes colored an unnatural red.

Seeing him, Zhang Xianjing asked, "What have you been doing? I've done it all for you."

"...... is being chased." Yu Fan was succinct.

Zhang Xianjing gave an oh-so-quiet, "Where's the schoolteacher?"

Yu Fan didn't answer her, just turned around with a tense face and grabbed the sedan chair curtains rudely, "Come out, there's no ghost."

Chen Jingshen half bent over, Shi Shi came out of the wedding sedan chair.

Zhang Xianjing: "?"

Zhang Xianjing was feeling a bit indescribably weird about this scene when he was tapped on the shoulder.

Wang Luan : "Sister Jing, let's go, the last link is done and out."

When they exited the chamber, the owner personally served them tea and brought along a collection code and evaluation form, saying that filling out the form would give them a 20% discount.

When filling out the forms, the boss couldn't help but glance at the tallest boy.

The other man's long, thin fingers pinched his pen and scanned an option on the paper with a cold face.

"How scary do you think Ghost in the Shell is?"

The other finger lifted, and at the end of that "Extreme horror! Scared the hell out of me!" box.

Below that was a blank column dedicated to writing feedback. Chen Jingshen thought for a second and scribbled in it:

[Satisfied.]

The owner collected the research forms and sent the group out the door with a spring in his step.

It was already dark when they came out of the store, so a few of them talked it over and decided to go to a hot pot.

Wang Luan is a big fan, picking up the menu as soon as he's seated and taking control of the ordering process, while Zhang Xianjing pokes his head in from time to time to give his opinion.

Yu Fan got up to get a dip, and when he came back, only the seat next to Chen Jingshen was left.

"Sister Jing, why don't you sit next to the schoolteacher." Wang Luan looked at Zhang Xianjing, who had dragged a chair down the aisle, and said, "The waiter is walking around with the food, and he'll get your skirt dirty."

"No, sit comfortably by yourself." Zhang Xianjing asks, "Yu Fan, what kind of meat do you want? Let Wang Luan order it for you."

"Whatever." Yu Fan takes a seat in the empty booth and casually places the dip on the table.

After ordering, Wang Luan leaned back on the back of the couch, let out a long breath, and declared, "I'm never going to play escape rooms again in my life."

Yu Fan said, "Just to be clear in advance, I can't possibly accompany you and Zuo Kuan to the restroom anymore. You two take care of each other."

"No, Yu Fan, aren't you scared too?" Zuo Kuan couldn't help but say.

Yu Fan: "Me? Maybe?"

"Don't try to cheat, we all heard you, we heard you shouting from a long way away when we did that last two-player quest," Zuo Kuan called in his voice - "Chen Jingshen! Chen Jingshen!"

Yu Fan: "......"

Zuo Kuan After you finish studying, you have to confirm with the person across the table, "Isn't that right, schoolmarm?"

Yu Fan whipped her chopsticks onto the bowl, which rattled fragilely.

So Chen Jingshen said, "I didn't hear it."

Zuo Kuan: "......"

Yu Fan was still upset thinking about it, the two-star rating he had just given that secret room was still too high, he should have given it half a star.

As Wang Luan and Zuo Kuan chatted and began to argue about who was the biggest wimp in the chamber, Yu Fan resisted the urge to add Chen Jingshen to the list and took a sip of cool water from his water glass, when he felt the person next to him glance over at him.

"Did you get the wrong seasoning."

Yu Fan paused slightly and looked down, "What's wrong?"

Chen Jingshen fell silent, as if briefly recalling, "You can eat cilantro?"

The hotpot restaurant is noisy and boisterous.

Yu Fan, cup raised in the air, was stunned by the question and turned his head to ask, "Why not?"

Chen Jingshen locked eyes with him for a few seconds, long enough to say, "No. Very few people around here like to eat this. There are also people who are allergic to it."

Yu Fan oohs and aahs, "I was allergic when I was a kid too, and suddenly got better when I started middle school."

Chen Jingshen picked up a hot towel to wipe his hands and said in a faint voice, "This way."

The hot pot restaurant was very busy at this time of the day, and it took about ten minutes of sitting for the food to be served slowly.

Eat to halfway, Wang Luan suddenly picked up the tea cup: "school bully, this time thanks to you to help me, the test results out, my father excited straight to me to play money ...... afraid that you can not drink, today I did not order wine, come on, I tea instead of wine to honor you a cup of wine, thank you for the selflessness of the dedication! "

"You're welcome." Chen Jingshen pinched his teacup and raised his hand to clink it with him. Glancing at the man beside him as he withdrew it.

Yu Fan pinched his chopsticks and shabu-shabu seriously without looking up.

Wang Luan drank his tea in one gulp, and then yawningly touched the person beside him who was playing with his cell phone: "Zuo Kuan, not that I'm talking about you, we're already in our second year of high school, do you really don't intend to join us in striving for excellence? Don't let me and Yu Fan go to the first school hand in hand, and you go to the technical school next door."

Zuo Kuan shook off his hand, "Fuck off, you'll get on a fucking book."

"I'm serious, try studying. I've been trying for two weeks and I really don't think studying is that hard."

"Come on, work on yourself." Zuo Kuan finally put down his cell phone, picked up his chopsticks and called out, "Yu Fan."

Yu Fan: "Speak."

"A girl in my class asked me for your WeChat," Zuo Kuan said, "and I pushed you on her."

Yu Fan's movement of eating gave a start, and all of a sudden he remembered what the homeroom teacher next door had said in the office.

And really looking for it.

He subconsciously tried to look at the person next to him, but his face was only slightly averted when he realized, "Why the hell am I looking at him?

Yu Fan unobtrusively moved that bit of angle right again and frowned, "I gave you permission to push?"

"I can't help it, if I don't hand you over, I won't have any homework to copy later," Zuo Kuan said cheerfully, "Don't worry. If she really applies, just refuse, it's not like you have to be added."

Yu Fan didn't bother to talk to him and continued to lower his head to shabu-shabu.

After eating and drinking, Wang Luan bought the bill and asked the waiter for a ticket, then asked if anyone was going to smoke.

Yu Fan : "You guys go, I'll wait here for the issue//ticket."

The three had just left with their front feet when a lively uproar suddenly came from the table in front of them.

Chen Jingshen Eyes lazily looking forward, the next table looks like someone in the confession, seems to have succeeded, a man and a woman shyly hugged together.

The cell phone in his pocket buzzed. Chen Jingshen withdrew his sight, took it out and scanned it, his eyebrows faded, and he directly locked the screen.

The waiter brought the items over, and the man beside him said thank you, then pushed back his chair and got up.

Chen Jingshen followed up and waited for two seconds before realizing that the person in front of him was standing still.

Yu Fan mulled it over for a moment before opening his mouth to call him, "Chen Jingshen."

"Uh-huh."

Yu Fan picked up the teacup and raised it awkwardly to him.

Chen Jingshen raised an eyebrow and followed suit, picking up his cup.

Yu Fan was just about to clink glasses with him when he saw his hand suddenly recycle a little bit, then twisted his head to look at the next table.

Yu Fan frowned and followed suspiciously-

A man and a woman wrapped their arms around each other in a hokey-pokey and drank a toast to the uproar of the others.

Yu Fan: "......"

Yu Fan reached out expressionlessly and clinked his cup with him so forcefully that it knocked the tea in Chen Jingshen's cup and shook it out, "Keep looking if you want to die."

-

After eating, a few people disbanded in place.

Yu Fan watched the others get into the car before turning his head and walking backwards.

The street wasn't far from his house, a ten-minute walk.

He took out his cell phone and transferred half of what they spent today to Wang Luan.

Wang Luan:? Why did you transfer my money?

[-: Didn't we say we'd host together? I'm with you AA.]

Wang Luan: I was just saying that. It's okay, my dad transferred a lot of money to me, it's on me today!

Although Wang Luan had not known Yu Fan for a long time, he was on good terms with him and more or less knew a little about his family.

[-: Take it away, no bullshit.]

Wang Luan finally thought about it and took it.

[Wang Luan: Then next time when I say it's on the house, you don't get an A.]

Yu Fan walked on this path there are not many pedestrians, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, just to light up, the phone suddenly rang again.

Why is this Wang Luan so slow ......

[s: [photo]]

Okay, here comes a more abrasive one.

Yu Fan chewed on the cigarette he hadn't yet had time to light, and clicked on the photo to look at it; it was of the dimly lit compartment, as if it had been taken casually.

[-:?

[S: It's dark in the car and I'm a little scared.]

[-:?

[-: What are you afraid of? Isn't there a driver sitting in front of you?

[S: Taking a look, the driver looks like that NPC from earlier.]

[-: ......]

[s: Can you video it?

[-: Cannot.]

[s: Good.]

Yu Fan was just about to throw his cell phone in his pocket.

[s: It's okay.]

[s: I just got a little spooked by a ghost touching me today, I should be better in a couple months.]

[S: Excuse me.]

"......"

Yu Fan stared at the words for a moment with his cigarette in his mouth.

The phone was picked up and put down, put down and picked up again, and after a few bad cycles, he put on his headphones with a hostile face, gritted his teeth, and punched in a video.

Opposite second pickup.

Yu Fan held his cell phone very low on the road, and the angle wasn't really good.

He looked down and cast a sidelong glance at Chen Jingshen with an annoyed expression, "Being so timid, do you still have to let your parents watch over you at night when you sleep?"

Chen Jingshen said, "I have no one at home."

Yu Fan blurted out without thinking, "There's no way I'm going to video sleep with you."

There was silence in the headset for a few seconds.

Yu Fan: "......"

What am I babbling about.

"Nor do I need to." After a long time, Chen Jingshen's voice came out. Probably because he had been sitting in the cab for a long time, his voice was a bit tired, "I have Fanfan to accompany me at home."

Yu Fan: "Can your dog change its name?"

"Kind of hard to call for years."

As Yu Fan walks along the road with one hand in his pocket, he occasionally meets a few people walking their dogs. He would always glance at them without meaning to, thinking that these dogs are not as good-looking as the ones at Chen Jingshen's home.

They talk to each other, with occasional half-minute silences in between. When there is no sound in the headset, Yu Fan will subconsciously look down and then meet Chen Jingshen's eyes through the cell phone.

After a few times, Yu Fan couldn't stand it anymore and said coldly, "...... Don't keep looking at me."

"Uh-huh." Chen Jingshen obediently skimmed away and quickly looked back. He asked, "Did that girl add you?"

"What?"

"That girl in class eight."

"Nope."

Chen Jingshen faintly said, "Will you stay with her?"

Yu Fan froze.

What's that?

He frowned, "No way. I don't even know her."

Chen Jingshen hmmm, his voice lowered a bit, "So what kind of girls do you like."

"...... How should I know." Yu Fan glanced down at him quickly, and after a few seconds added, "There's no favorite right now anyway."

"There will be later."

"......"

"With a girlfriend, you can't video with you, right?" Chen Jingshen said, "Can't sit together either."

Yu Fan : "Who cares about that ......"

"Well, but I don't want to see you with someone else."

"I'll ask the teacher to change my seat." The cab drove along the small road, the dim streetlights flickering across Chen Jingshen's face in a staggered pattern. His eyes were downcast and his voice was faint.

Yu Fan: "I ......"

Chen Jingshen : "You can throw away the letter ...... I wrote to you before. I didn't write it for a long time, nor did I change it many times."

Yu Fan: "......"

"And the awards on top of the chalkboard-"

"I said no fucking girlfriends!" Yu Fan couldn't stand it any longer and interrupted him by holding his phone up next to his mouth, "No favorite girls either! If you want to make a fucking video, just play it for me! You can sit next to me if you want! You can sit next to me if you want to, and you can post your awards wherever you want! What's the point of being so long-winded?"

Yu Fan shouted in one breath and gasped very heavily twice. When he looked up, the people and dogs passing by looked at him with surprised faces.

...... I'll video Chen Jingshen on the main street again I'm a dog.

There was no sound in the headphones.

Yu Fan turned the corner into the park next to him with a grimace, picked up his cell phone and looked at it, the screen was dark, Chen Jingshen had blocked the camera.

Yu Fan called out with a frown, "Chen Jingshen?"

It took a few seconds before the opposite side responded with a very deep, "Uh-huh."

Yu Fan: "Did you hear what I just said?"

"Hear that." Chen Jingshen faintly said, "I know."

Suddenly feeling that something was wrong, Yu Fan stared suspiciously at the cell phone, "Chen Jingshen, show your face."

"......"

In the next second, the finger covering the front of the camera was moved away.

Chen Jingshen's cell phone was placed a bit down, revealing only the lower half of his face.

Chen Jingshen pressed the corners of his mouth and confronted him in silence for a while. Then finally unable to tense up, he raised his hand and covered his mouth, the knot in his throat rolling very lightly.

Two clicks.

Three down.

Yu Fan: "......"

For a moment, Yu Fan forgot what he had just shouted to make Chen Jingshen smile like this.

"Chen Jingshen, laugh again you die." He said grimly, "Hold the phone for me."

"Well, not on purpose."

Chen Jingshen lifted his cell phone with difficulty and locked eyes with him for two seconds.

Chen Jingshen inclined his head to look out of the window and quickly looked back.

It was as if he suppressed it for a moment, but in the end he couldn't, so he lowered his eyes, his voice hoarse from stifling laughter, "Yu Fan, I really-"

There was suddenly no sound from behind.

Yu Fan stood frozen in the park, holding up his cell phone and waiting for him for a while. Then he suddenly reacted and jabbed the hang-up button before Chen Jingshen could say the next word!

Doh. The video hung up.

The park is windy at night.

Yu Fan's heartbeat was so heavy that it felt like it was attached to his eardrums, and his entire head was burning.

He slowed down in place for a moment, rubbed his face, took out the cigarette he'd just had in his mouth, lit it shakily for himself, and started circling around the large tree beside him.

It's pretty fucking evil to say the least.

Just now, Chen Jingshen had clearly not finished his sentence, but Yu Fan felt that he had heard it.

He heard Chen Jingshen sitting in a cab against the wind at the window, with the driver's strange eyes in front of him.

Chen Jingshen said, sitting in the flickering streetlight.

Yu Fan, I really--

Really like you.
