Yang Liu was so startled that her mouth fell open, her eyes wide and round. Big teardrops rolled down her cheeks and splashed onto the ground. She didn't even dare to utter a word.
The whole room fell into dead silence.
[Am I seeing things, or is there something wrong with my brain? Fellow viewers in the live chat.]
[Help! What happened to the little white rabbit?]
[Guys, the look on Yuan Meng's face is really jarring. It gives me the creeps, at least.]
Although the audience couldn't see clearly through the screen, they still felt the palpable fear.
However, it was just so out of place.
Seeing Yang Liu too scared to speak, Yuan Meng twitched her lips. Was she really that scary?
How boring.
Yuan Meng gave up her idea of scaring people and simply threw the arm at Yang Liu.
Yang Liu fled with her head in her arms, shouting, "Don't give it to me!"
She scurried behind Xiang Bo and the others, shivering. Only then did Yuan Meng notice the look of disillusionment on everyone's faces.
She clicked her tongue mentally. This was the downside of pretending to be a little white rabbit.
All she did was say a few harsh words and scare someone, but in their eyes, it was like seeing a ghost.
She felt helpless but suddenly put on a sweet smile and said, "Xiang Bo, do you think I was like the psycho you described just now?"
The word "psycho" brought everyone back to their senses. Yuan Xingcheng gritted his teeth and said, "I'm getting angry! So angry!"
He clenched his fists so tightly that the veins on his forehead bulged, indicating just how angry he was.
"Xiang Bo, stay away from her in the future. Look at what you've done to her!"
"Yeah, stay away from this girl. She almost scared us to death just now."
The others echoed, but only Yang Liu didn't believe Yuan Meng's act.
She was the closest to Yuan Meng just now and could feel that... eerie and terrifying aura. It wasn't an act of a psycho; it was like a real one.
"Yuan Meng is so brave now. It's a good thing. She even dares to play with these corpses. I think I've made a contribution!"
Xiang Bo held his head high, looking very proud.
Look, after his guidance, the little white rabbit had the potential to turn into a big bad wolf.
Truly, teachable!
Yuan Xingcheng let out a couple of scoffs upon hearing this and pointed at Yuan Meng. "Are you sure?"
Xiang Bo and the others watched as Yuan Meng pieced together the corpse, her movements swift and decisive. With the white incandescent light, she actually seemed to have the potential to star in a horror movie.
The proud smile on Xiang Bo's face disappeared. He really thought this scene was a bit psycho.
He scratched his head. "Uh... Well... Haha."
As the saying goes, it's hard to scold someone with a smiling face. As long as he kept smiling, no one would have the heart to criticize him!
Before they knew it, night had fallen. The five of them found an open space, set up tents, and had something to eat.
They ate and chatted merrily. The atmosphere was wonderful.
Then Yang Liu frowned and said, "But I don't have a tent. Where can I sleep?"
"That's your own problem. If you don't have a tent, sleep outside," Xiang Bo replied first.
The others didn't want to get entangled with her, so they kept silent.
"But... I'm a weak woman after all. I'll really be scared if I sleep outside." Yang Liu clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture.
"Please, help me, okay?"
After witnessing the scene of the female lead disassembling the corpse today, Yang Liu was truly scared. She thought she might even have nightmares tonight.
If she continued to sleep outside tonight... She didn't even dare to think about it.
"How about you share a tent with Yuan Meng? You two are the only females here," Mo Lin suggested.
Hearing this, Yang Liu turned to look at Yuan Meng and happened to see her giving her a big smile.
Although her smile was sweet and beautiful, in Yang Liu's eyes, it was like... a ghost's death call!
If she had to sleep with her psychological shadow tonight, she might as well just die.
Yang Liu swallowed hard and almost cried. "No... Forget it."
"One solution doesn't work, and another doesn't work either. If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?" Yuan Xingcheng looked impatient.
His straightforward words made Yang Liu a bit embarrassed, and her face showed awkwardness.
Seeing the atmosphere turn strange again, Mo Lin waved his hand and came out as a good guy. "Forget it."
"I'll give you my tent."
Hearing this, Yang Liu immediately nodded and said repeatedly, "Thank you. I really appreciate it."
Finally, she had a place to sleep tonight. She let out a long sigh of relief and secretly glanced at Mo Lin's handsome face.
Now seemed to be a perfect opportunity to create a CP. Mo Lin had offered his tent voluntarily. Maybe he had a crush on her... Yang Liu's mind started to wander.
"Mo Lin, I was really scared just now. They all thought I deserved it, but only you were willing to help me."
Under the pretext of gratitude, Yang Liu sat down next to Mo Lin, her nose red as she looked at him.
Mo Lin shook his head, unaware of the impending danger. "It's okay."
Seeing his cold attitude, Yang Liu rolled her eyes, wracking her brains on how to create a CP in a pure and natural way.
With Yang Liu's tent problem solved, everyone started eating, drinking, and chatting again.
"Seriously, Yuan Meng, you really scared us when you grabbed the corpse just now," Xiang Bo said excitedly, holding his water cup.
Yuan Meng rolled her eyes mentally. It was just a corpse arm, and everyone knew it was fake. What was there to be scared of?
She just couldn't understand these people.
Although she was speechless inside, she pretended to be shy and pursed her lips. "I just wanted to scare you guys suddenly at that time. I didn't expect it to really work."
Everyone burst into laughter. In fact, looking back now, it was quite interesting that the usually cute and innocent Yuan Meng suddenly showed a dark side.
This was the so - called contrast cuteness, but they hadn't noticed it before.
Seeing that everyone's attention was on Yuan Meng and recalling how they had disliked her, Yang Liu was filled with anger.
"Mo Lin, you must be thirsty after talking for so long. Do you want some water?" Yang Liu deliberately spoke loudly to attract everyone's attention.
She wanted to create a CP. How could it work if no one was watching?
Maybe seeing that they were chatting happily, the camera was on them now.
After seeing everyone's eyes turn to her, Yang Liu was satisfied. She reached out her small hand to touch Mo Lin's cup.
Then, she was going to pretend to accidentally spill the water on him.
This was a common plot in idol dramas and always worked. The audience would say it was sweet after seeing it.
Just as Yang Liu was about to make her move, Xiang Bo suddenly squeezed in and sat down.
She was squeezed aside with the cup in her hand, staring blankly.
"Since you don't have a tent to sleep in tonight, why not sleep with me? We can squeeze together," Xiang Bo suggested, putting his arm around Mo Lin's shoulder.
Mo Lin let out a sigh of relief, his eyes filled with gratitude.
He shook his head and declined politely. "No, thanks. I'll go on night watch tonight. I always feel that the program crew will play some tricks."
