Sharing the Dorm with the Enemy from Previous Life

Autumn Outing (3)

Although top student Qin’s face was as calm and cold as usual, their Ruan-ge’s sleeping expression was just as relaxed and exhausted. But for some reason, the two of them leaning together quietly was like some kind of wonderful chemical reaction and the looks on their faces were extraordinarily gentle and serene.

It was as if the noise and bustle of the world had nothing to do with them and as if they had been together like this for a long time.

***

There were nearly a hundred people in the two classes, divided into a dozen spontaneous groups at the park entrance. After the tickets were checked, they were like little birds out of their cages, chirping and screaming, instantly dispersed into the crowd.

Ruan Qingmu rubbed his eyes, still slightly dazed, and followed Qin Yuan. “Here already?”

Qin Yuan let out an “mn” and looked at his slightly red face as he slept, casually draping his jacket over his head to protect him from the sun. “Are you still sleepy? How about we go find a nice, quiet, and shady piece of lawn and you can continue to sleep there?”

Ruan Qingmu turned his head and squinted at his exposed small vest, suddenly removing his jacket and shoving it at him quickly. “Hey, hey, why are you scandalously exposing yourself in broad daylight? You’re prohibited from wearing this in the future.”

As they whispered, a dark voice rang out behind them, “Two bosses, where will we go to play next?”

The two were startled and turned their heads to look. “…”

Seven or eight people stood behind them, looking at the two impatiently.

Bai Jing, Huang Ya, Fang Li, Fu Songhua, and a few girls, some from Class 1 and some from Class 9, were all there.

Ruan Qingmu was dumbfounded and his sleepiness was gone. “What are you guys doing? Can’t you make some sound? Besides, why are you guys following us?”

Huang Ya straightened up. “We’ve all been divided into groups. Who will we follow if not you, Ruan-ge? You’re our boss!”

Class 1 Lu Lianyi and the girls also blushed. “Class monitor, we’ve discussed it. We want to go on The Horror Valley, but we don’t quite dare to do…”

Qin Yuan’s eyebrows twitched unnoticeably. “Can’t Fu Songhua and the others accompany you guys?”

Fu Songhua grimaced. “Lao-Zi wants to play 360-degree Sky Travels. The haunted house is boring.”

Fang Li bit his lip and blushed slightly. “I don’t ride roller coasters.”

Fu Songhua immediately became soft. “Ohh, you’re afraid of heights. Why didn’t you mention it earlier? Then, should we ride the go-karts?”

This time, Niu Xiaoqing and the girls refused. “Who wants to go on that child’s ride? We won’t go. We’ve done our research, The Horror Valley’s reputation is the best. Directly say it if you don’t dare to go. We can also ride it without the boys.”

The group was so noisy that Ruan Qingmu got a headache from all the noise. Looking at Tang Tiantian’s pleading face, he sighed and looked at Qin Yuan. “Let’s go together then?”

Qin Yuan said indifferently, “I’m okay. I’ll listen to you.”

Standing at the entrance to the Horror Valley, the group of students was shocked. “Have to collect our phones? So cruel?”

The staff smiled. “The main reason is that some places inside are pretty dark. Some guests couldn’t help opening their phone flashlights to light up the room. This is naturally their freedom, but the horror atmosphere will be lost if it’s brightly lit and can disturb other guests’ fun experiences. Thank you for your cooperation.”

Everyone had no choice but to hand in their mobile phones in a sealed bag, receive their number plates, and queue up to enter.

The movie park opened just a few days ago and was basically considered a test run. The news coverage hadn’t caught up, so it wasn’t too crowded this early in the morning.

“What is this? Just a haunted house? Are they going for the headless female corpse or the electric saw killer?” Fu Songhua was in high spirits right then.

“It’s just opened. There’s no guide on the Internet. I heard they have every kind of attraction and even a bit of an escape room aspect to it!”

Fu Songhua was even more smug. “Oh, using brains. We have the first and third rank in the grade here. We’re a small elite squad.”

Once everyone was inside, the lighting dimmed and they only heard Fu Song Hua calmly instructing, “Everyone, pay attention to the formation. Class monitor and Ruan Qingmu are in the front. Fang Li and I are in the middle and the girls are in the back!”

Ruan Qingmu was speechless: Why should they be in the front? He had hoped to walk slowly with Qin Yuan at the back.

“Sh-Shouldn’t you guys be in the back?” Lu Lianyi’s voice faltered. “Isn’t it the safest in the middle?”

Fu Songhua’s voice was strangely strained. “Then, Huang Ya and the others walk in the front.”

He secretly took Fang Li’s soft and slippery hand beside him and lowered his voice. “Don’t be afraid. Stay close to me.”

Fang Li’s voice sounded fine. “Mm. I’m not afraid. You should take care of the girls.”

Everyone could no longer see the people around them, and nothing could be seen clearly except for a long corridor in the shadows and the chilly air was getting stronger. It was thirty degrees outside, but goosebumps rose on their bodies once they entered.

“Wuwuwu. It’s so cold in here.”

Qin Yuan and Ruan Qingmu walked side by side at the front, and the two people’s hands were quietly linked together.

“Are you afraid?” Qin Yuan’s voice was calm and collected.

Ruan Qingmu snorted. “Afraid of what? Afraid of catching a cold from the air conditioner?”

As he spoke, the black corridor, which had been silent, suddenly lit up with bloody light and the situation on both sides of the crowd could finally be seen clearly. On the dark black stone wall, “gurgling” dark red blood flowed silently and the faint light reflected the teenagers’ ghastly white faces.

“Ahhhh!” The girls screamed in shock, mixed with Fu Songhua’s out-of-the-blue roar.

“Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! What is this fucking thing? I’m not playing anymore. Let’s get out!”

Qin Yuan and Ruan Qingmu stood still, enduring the devilish sound through their ears, and spoke together.

Qin Yuan said, “It’s only blood plasma. Edible red pigment with honey and sticky substance.”

Ruan Qingmu said, “The effect is too fake. It flows like spring water. Are there a thousand zombies locked behind this?”

Amidst the shrieks, Fang Li’s soft cry of pain could also be faintly heard. “Do-Don’t pinch me… It’s all fake.”
