Chapter 79 The Future ([-])

The playground in midsummer is very lively, the children are having fun on the merry-go-round, there are exciting screams on the roller coaster, and the staff in puppet costumes are performing everywhere.

Everywhere is so lively.

Zhou Luo hadn't been to the playground with Bai Luofan for some years, maybe it was just a holiday, and he was in a very good mood and his appetite was even better.

"Marshmallows in the shape of rabbits! I want them!"

"Octopus balls, you can't miss it!"

"Little bear ice cream, have one!"

"Hey, that ice cream tastes like bamboo charcoal. I haven't tried it before. Try it." Zhou Luo pointed at the ice cream booth with his eyes shining.

After a round, Zhou Luo was carrying all kinds of snacks in his hands, but he still couldn't walk when he saw the booth.

The boss made two black ice creams and handed them over.Zhou Luo took it and handed one of them to Bai Luofan.

She took a sip and commented, "Not bad."

"After eating this ice cream, let's go ride the bumper car!" She looked towards the bumper car area not far away.

Bai Luofan: "Yes."

Zhou Luo concentrated on nibbling on the ice cream in his hand, and led Bai Luofan to the bumper car area, but was told by the staff that there was a problem with the power supply system of the playground and the power was cut off.

"Then where else can I play?"

The staff pointed to the haunted house not far away: "It can still operate normally."

Without further ado, Zhou Luo pulled Bai Luofan and was about to go to the haunted house, but he dragged him back.

"What's the matter, I haven't been to this haunted house yet. The leaflet says it's the scariest theme. I want to see how scary it is!"

Zhou Luo is a serious lover of haunted houses. She has visited almost all the local haunted houses. This one is newly opened, so of course she can't miss it.

Bai Luofan looked at the time, raised his head and said, "I see it's almost time for dinner, why don't we go have dinner with our parents?"

Zhou Luo still wanted to go to the haunted house. She looked at the haunted house, then at him, and said hesitantly: "This one should come out in a while, let's go first, come out and then go eat."

He pulled her away and said as he walked, "Let's go, let's go, I'm hungry."

Zhou Luo was wondering, when a thought suddenly flashed across her heart.

Although she couldn't see his expression, she probably knew why he was so hungry and on time.

The more she thought about it, the more amusing she felt, and she couldn't hold back, and let out a "poof" laugh.

Bai Luofan's expression was a little weird, he stopped in his tracks, and said with a calm expression, "You can laugh a little bit, thank you."

She laughed even louder.

"I didn't expect you to be afraid of haunted houses. Can't you see it?" Zhou Luo looked at him a little awkwardly, restrained his smile, and comforted him, "It's okay, I'm afraid too, what else is there if you're not afraid of going to a haunted house?" Meaning, what you play is heartbeat!"

The teenager glanced at her: "You still want to play because you're afraid, do you have any tendency to be masochistic?"

Zhou Luo seemed to think about his question seriously, and said slowly: "Anyway, after coming out of it, I was so scared that I was covered in cold sweat. It's very exciting. Have you ever been inside?"

"No." He answered emphatically.

"Why don't you go there once?" She smirked.

Bai Luofan hesitated for a while, and asked tentatively, "Do you really want to go?"

Zhou Luo nodded solemnly.

The boy let out a breath slowly.

"Okay then... let's go with you once."

"Okay, okay! Let's go now!"

Zhou Luo cheered and dragged him towards the haunted house.

Bai Luofan thought it would be scary, but he didn't expect to see those NPCs playing all kinds of ghosts after entering.

On the contrary, Zhou Luo was so frightened that he screamed frequently, and grabbed his clothes and refused to let go.

"You didn't insist on coming, why are you so scared?" Bai Luofan said helplessly to Zhou Luo who was shrinking behind him.

"What's the point of coming to a haunted house if you're not afraid? What you're playing is... the heartbeat!"

Zhou Luo's spirit was highly tense, his face was pale, and even his voice trembled.

This newly opened haunted house really has no false publicity, it is really scary!
This setting, this atmosphere...

She moved forward a few steps, and a ghost with a long tongue suddenly jumped in front of her from the side. His tongue was so long that it fell directly to the ground, his face was painted white, and blood was flowing from his eye sockets. One of the eyeballs even popped out.

She closed her eyes and screamed, and suddenly grabbed the clothes behind the boy.

Bai Luofan was ashamed: "I thought you were so courageous, but I dare say you are good at cooking and love to play."

Even though Zhou Luo was afraid, he still didn't forget to retort: ​​"Then you didn't come in just now, don't laugh at me!"

"Can you gently pull my clothes?"

"why?"

"Because you're about to get ripped off..."

Zhou Luo paused and looked up. She had pulled his school uniform jacket to his shoulders. In order to prevent it from being ripped off by her, he firmly grasped the collar.

A bit like a chaste woman who would rather die than obey...

Zhou Luo thought inappropriately.

She let go.

The boy turned around, facing her, took her hand helplessly, and walked forward.

The girl's heart skipped a beat, and she followed him blankly, forgetting even her fear.

"You are not allowed to come to the haunted house with other boys in the future." His voice came from the front.

Zhou Luo subconsciously blurted out: "Why?"

"because--"

He paused, turned the flashlight in his hand to the side, and illuminated the face of a blood-stained little ghost even more horribly. The little ghost seemed to have received some kind of command, and floated towards her extremely fast. Zhou Luo was unprepared The ground was startled suddenly, and there was another scream that could break through the eardrums, grabbed him tightly, and said in a crying voice: "No more playing, let's go out."

He shook his head with a half-smile, and turned the light of the flashlight forward.Zhou Luo let go of him, but still shrank behind him.

In the darkness, she heard Bai Luofan's low voice that seemed to be joyful: "Why didn't I find out before, the haunted house is actually quite interesting."

"..." Is there really anyone in this world who would use the word "interesting" to describe a haunted house?

Meng Xiangting was sitting in the co-pilot, quietly staring at her mother who was driving, her expression still did not soften at all.

With such a cold face, she went back home. After a long time, Mother Meng was willing to speak to her.

"Tell me, why did your grades drop?"

Mother Meng sat on the sofa and seemed very tired after saying this.

Meng Xiangting bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes fixed on the floor.

"Why didn't you talk? How did you agree to me when you said you wanted to learn literature?" Mother Meng's voice was as cold as the winter wind, rushing towards her, making her tremble a little.

Mother Meng didn't agree with her to study literature at the beginning. It was she who repeatedly promised that after studying literature, she would be able to maintain the level of the top three in the grade and be admitted to a key university, so the family let her go to study literature.

But this time she slipped out of the top three.

"It's just right. I think you can go to school next semester. You still have time to study in the evening. Don't be idle during the holidays. Mom will enroll you in a class for you to study. If you don't have talent and don't work hard, how can you catch up with others?" ?”

Meng Xiangting nodded silently, "Understood."

"Okay, go back to your room."

Meng Xiangting returned to her room and gently closed the door.Soon the mother's voice came from outside the door, she was contacting the tutoring institution to inquire about the details of tutoring.

Meng Xiangting in the room fell on the bed and closed her eyes in silence. She suddenly felt a suffocating sadness for no reason.

Her mother is always like this. She is a gentle and beautiful mother representative when she doesn't mention her grades, but as soon as her grades are mentioned, she will be like a different person.

One of the words her mother often said is "do less useless things."

She didn't understand at that time, what kind of things are useless?
Her mother told her that things that cannot see the future are useless.

Later, she gave up her favorite guzheng, because her mother said that playing the guzheng would not give her extra points, and it would not become a tool for making a living in the future. It was useless.

At this time, Lin Ting's voice suddenly appeared in her ears.

"What if I can prove we have a future?"

She didn't say she believed it, nor said she didn't believe it, so she fled the scene in a hurry under the pretext of being too cold.

She closed her eyes.

She also didn't know whether Lin Ting's matter was useless or not.He can like her desperately, but she can't drag him so vaguely.

She got out of bed, took out her phone from the drawer and turned it on.

The phone responded for a while, and there was an unread message displayed on the WeChat icon.

Lin Ting: [You are already great, don't doubt yourself. 】

She opened the dialog box and typed a line.Seeing the cursor flickering in the input box, she did not press the send button for a long time.

That message was sent 10 minutes ago, maybe because he didn't wait for her reply, he sent another one.

Lin Ting: 【Are you home yet?Your mother didn't tell you, did she? 】

Meng Xiangting closed her eyes with difficulty, and with a sudden heart, sent out the message in the input box.

[I beg you, can you stop liking me? 】

Lin Ting’s comment above changed to “The other party is inputting…” and changed back to the note after a while, and within a few seconds, it changed to “The other party is typing…”

After doing this five or six times, he finally sent nothing.

Meng Xiangting looked at the dialog box, still maintaining the action of sending a message just now, her fingers were trembling.

After a long time, until the phone automatically turned off, the light in her eyes disappeared instantly.

The hand holding the phone dropped suddenly, and he did as she said, but why didn't she feel relaxed at all...
