Chapter 52… Extra 2: Haunted House

Now that they had decided on the itinerary, the two quickly drove to the amusement park.

Twenty years have passed. The once newly built amusement park is now quite old.

The signs of the amusement park are outdated in color, with small patches of green moss growing on them, and the amusement facilities are fairly mottled.

Fortunately, as being the only amusement park in the city, there are still many visitors in the park. In addition to many parents playing with their children, there are also young lovers in twos and threes, holding hands intimately, shoulder to shoulder, a few people hiding in secluded places and whispering intimately in the dark.

The whole park is permeated with a joyous atmosphere.

On the carousel in the amusement park, Shen Yu actually saw the figure of an old friend.

Starscream was holding a little girl’s hand, bending down and carefully supporting the girl on a pink merry-go-round.

She still wore her favorite red dress, but this time she didn’t have a cigarette stick in her hand, her brows were bright and her eyes, when looking at the little girl, were full of affection and gentleness.

The little girl looks young. Only about five or six years old, with white and tender cheeks, and eyebrows so similar to Starscream’s ones. At this time, she is holding Starscream’s palm and excitedly patting the head of the merry-go-round with her small hand.

“Mom, I want to sit on this unicorn!” she said to Starscream.

At this moment, a young girl who was not tall was holding the arms of two old people, one with her left and and with her right hand.

The two old people looked like an old couple, their hair had turned grey and their faces were kind. They were accompanied by the girl, and they were on their way to the carousel.

The girl was walking and persuading the two old people with every step: “Dad, mom! You two are old now, especially mom. Your hearts are not very good. They’re really not suitable for playing Bungee jumping and roller coaster, come! Let’s play this? It’s exciting.”

“Fine, we two rarely come to see you from our hometown. Let’s listen to our daughter!” The old man said with a smile: “This girl has been working outside persistently, all the money earned was remitted to us, and you didn’t keep much for yourself. We are also worried about you.”

“What are you worrying about, I’m doing serious work, okay! There is no danger… in the future? There will be no danger anymore.” The girl replied somewhat vaguely.

Her mother continued to ask anxiously: “Don’t you just think about your job? What about your life? You haven’t settled yet. When will you find a boyfriend?”

“I heard you say it before. Your boss is good, and the new colleague is also a handsome guy. Have you ever considered…”

Faced with her parents’ routine urging of marriage, the girl couldn’t decide between laughing or crying: “The two of them… Cough! Mom, don’t you think about it? I guess it will never be possible to develop an office romance.” The two guys in the same department, I don’t know whenever they hooked up!

Poorly, she hadn’t been able to find out how the two people were hooking up in private, and she became the only single dog in the whole department. She didn’t know how much dog food she had eaten, secretly.

Zhang Cuihua, who tried to pretend to be obedient in front of her parents, murmured in her heart.

She continued to have a quiet smile on her face, pulling her parents to walk forward. She raised her eyes and saw Starscream standing beside the merry-go-round. The two of them looked at each other. All of a sudden, both were startled.

“F*ck , why are you here?” Zhang Cuihua couldn’t help but say.

Her mother immediately patted her arm lightly: “Girls don’t use foul language!”

So Zhang Cuihua could only endure the mockery back, and said with a smirk: “I didn’t expect to meet you here. Ha ha!”

Starscream also looked at Zhang Cuihua, who was carrying the hip flask, and also had a mocking smirk on her face. She said: “Yes! What a coincidence.”

These two enemies who have always been fighting in the story,  a cigarette not leaving one’s hands, or a wine bottle not leaving the other’s  body. Right now, this is the first time the two of them have met in real life.

One does not smoke and is a good mother in front of her daughter;  one dares not to drink and tries to pretend to be a good girl in front of her parents.

“Girl, who is this? Is it a colleague in the department?”

Zhang Cuihua’s parents asked curiously. After the question, they couldn’t help sighing: “Look at her, she doesn’t look older than you? How old is she, there is even a child! When are you…”

“Yes, yes, she is my colleague.” In order to stop her parents from continuing to urge the matter of marriage, Zhang Cuihua hurriedly agreed.

“Mom, who is this aunt? Your friend?” At this time, Starscream’s daughter had completed one round on the ride, turned over from the pink unicorn and ran in front of everyone, asking equally curiously.

Auntie…

Zhang Cuihua covered her heart, stung by the word “Auntie”.

However, the two old people have always loved children. Seeing that this little girl is so cute and beautiful, they immediately happily leaned forward to tease her.

Seeing the elderly and children get along so harmoniously, in order not to disturb the mood of the family, the two old rivals of many years also had to hold each other’s hands with a smirk, gritting their teeth and looking at each other with a smile.

“Yes! We are friends, best friends~~”

……

Looking at the two old acquaintances who were forced to cooperate in the distance, Shen Yu couldn’t help but be amused.

“Forget it, let’s not go there? Excuse them to enjoy their parent-child time.” Yue Ze also slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said.

The two of them did not go to say hello, but quietly went elsewhere in the amusement park.

It’s a pity that they didn’t go very far, and there was a cheerful voice: “The Mint? Mint…. You are the Mint, right?”

Being called by the pen name, Shen Yu was slightly surprised, turned his head and looked around.

He saw a group of young people standing in the back. Among them, a girl looked at him hesitantly. Seeing him turning around, she ran over cheeringly: “It’s really the popular Mint? Mint! I liked the “Remains in the Mist” you wrote, please give me an autograph!”

It turns out to be a fan of his novels in the reality, and has nothing to do with the previous “novels”.

Shen Yu was slightly relieved and took the girl’s signature book.

Then a group of young people also came over. Among them was a man of about the same age who looked up and down Shen Yu with hostile eyes, and asked in a very aggressive tone: “Manman, who is this person?”

“Li Yuan, this is the horror novel writer I often mention to you. I am a loyal reader of Mint.” The girl named “Manman” accepted the autograph and said very excitedly.

The man named “Li Yuan” curled his lips in disdain and muttered in a low voice: “A horror novel writer…just to be a hero with his pen, how bold can he be in reality?…like it? What’s so good about a coward…”

He muttered till here, then his eyes turned suddenly and he had an idea.

“The haunted house in this amusement park is quite famous. We are going to go to explore the haunted house. Since you are writing horror novels, why don’t you go with us? Take a look!”

Li Yuan seemed enthusiastic in his invitation: “I wonder if you… and your friend dare to come?”

Haunted house?

Shen Yu couldn’t help but stare at Yue Ze.

Seems interesting?
