Chapter 17
================
"It's really fun." When the roller coaster came into the station, Chen Le was still a little unsatisfied, "The roller coaster is the soul of the amusement park."
The boy beside him let go of his hand, and Qiao Yan turned his wrist uncomfortably.
Hearing Chen Le's words, he realized what the roller coaster was like just now, and he had no impression of it for the first time.
In the memory, only the hot palm of the boy was pressed on his skin.
"Next project!" Chen Le excitedly announced.
The high-altitude project still made Qiao Yan a little overwhelmed. It wasn't until he stepped on the ground that he realized that his legs were a little weak.
Just as Qiao Yan was about to stand up with the armrests, the boy's hand stretched out in front of him.
Lin Xiao was looking at him with open eyes, and Qiao Yan couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of his wild thoughts.
He hesitated for a moment, but stood up with Lin Xiao's strength.
Xu Yanyan supported Chen Xueli's hand to stand up, just as she saw Lin Xiao pulling Qiao Yan and jumping off the roller coaster.
The boy's broad palm wrapped Qiao Yan's thin white fingers, which looked extraordinarily tender.
Her expression darkened, she didn't want to watch this scene any more, and got off the roller coaster in a hurry.
Chen Le was full of energy, one project after another, Qiao Yan was a little overwhelmed, and most of the time he was outside looking at things for them.
"The last stop must be there." After taking the jumping machine, several people were surrounding Xu Yanyan, who was vomiting non-stop. Chen Le suddenly said mysteriously, "Haunted house."
The haunted house here is very old, unlike many fancy haunted house secret rooms nowadays, there are no NPCs to scare people, and there is no intelligent mechanism, so like all old haunted houses, the lights are dim and the sound effect is hell.
Although Qiao Yan was afraid of heights, he was not afraid of ghosts. On the contrary, the haunted house was the easiest project for him in the whole amusement park, so he nodded immediately.
Lin Xiao's eyes were strange: "Are you going?"
Qiao Yan was stunned: "...well, go."
Lin Xiao withdrew his eyes, as if he gave a helpless "tsk".
Qiao Yan:?
"Okay! Add Qiao Yan, Brother Xiao, me, Li Yue, and you two?" Chen Le asked.
Lin Xiao lowered his eyelids: "I said I'm going?"
Chen Le asked strangely: "Qiao Yan is going, why don't you go?"
Lin Xiao gave another "tsk", his expression became a little uncomfortable: "Who said my mother must follow...forget it."
Chen Le: "So are you going or not?"
Lin Xiao: "...Go."
Chen Le smiled "haha" and turned to look at Xu Yanyan and the others.
Xu Yanyan had just vomited, her face was pale, maybe she heard Lin Xiao's words, her face became even uglier.
"Xu Yanyan is like this, so I won't go in to play, I will accompany her to rest outside." Chen Xueli opened the bottle cap, handed the mineral water to Xu Yanyan, and said to Chen Le.
Unexpectedly, Xu Yanyan waved away the water she handed to her hand, and said in a loud and hasty voice: "Go!" She took a few breaths, faced Chen Le's somewhat surprised gaze, and eased her tone: "Everyone... ...everyone went, and of course I'm going too...I, I like playing haunted houses."
Her voice was a little shrill, which made everyone look at her.
Chen Le seemed to be choked, and said after a while: "No, I didn't expect Xu Yanyan to like haunted houses so much."
Chen Xueli frowned, her tone was serious: "You are already like this, what are you playing?"
She was not short in stature, and she hugged Xu Yanyan's shoulders forcefully, with an unquestionable aura.
She followed Xu Yanyan almost all day long, and was obedient to her. This was the first time she sang against her.
"Yeah, Yanyan, if you're like this, let's rest outside." Li Yue also spoke.
Xu Yanyan showed a reconciled expression, but she also knew that her current situation was not suitable for going in to play again, so she could only glance at Qiao Yan with nothing but sadness.
Qiao Yan was taken aback by her.
Chen Xueli took a step forward, blocked Xu Yanyan's sight, and passed the water in her hand: "Haunted houses are nothing fun, be good."
This time, Xu Yanyan took the water.
Seeing that Chen Xueli comforted Xu Yanyan, Chen Le hesitated and said, "Have a good rest, this is not a short time to play."
He looked at Lin Xiao with some embarrassment, wondering whether he should go to play or not.
"You guys go." Chen Xueli's voice sounded, "I'll accompany her here."
She looked at Chen Le, and her usual calm expression returned to her face.
Chen Le confirmed again and again that he was really fine, and then agreed.
The four turned their heads and walked into the gate of the haunted house.
Chen Le was shallow-minded, and as soon as he entered the gate of the haunted house, he quickly forgot Xu Yanyan and looked around curiously. Li Yue followed him and kept pouring cold water on him.
Qiao Yan followed behind, and Lin Xiao walked beside him with his hands in his pockets, looking at him nonchalantly.
At the entrance, a gust of cold air hits the face. In the early spring of March, the temperature has not yet risen, and the temperature inside is actually a little lower than outside.
Chen Le and Li Yue had already walked in, while Qiao Yan and Lin Xiao were left behind.
After only walking a few steps, Qiao Yan felt a chill all over his body, he couldn't help but let out a breath, and wrapped his coat tightly.
"Are you scared?" Lin Xiao's voice sounded behind him, with imperceptible urgency hidden in his impatient tone, "What can you do? Go back."
Qiao Yan was taken aback.
He...why is he scared?
He turned his head a little strangely.
The lights in the haunted house were dim, and there was a green light flickering from nowhere. Just as he turned his head, the regular mechanism next to him let out a strange laugh of "Jie Jie".
Before Qiao Yan could react, he felt that his collar was suddenly grabbed.
He took a step.
The boy behind him hiding in the dark looked as cold and impatient as ever, but Qiao Yan somehow saw a trace of stiffness in it.
The boy's fingertips inadvertently rubbed against the back of his neck, and the nervous smell of strong alcohol instantly enveloped his glands.
A thought suddenly appeared in Qiao Yan's mind.
Wait a minute, Lin Xiao...wouldn't be afraid of ghosts?
Qiao Yan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Lin Xiao coughed lightly and let go of his hand.
Chen Le's voice had gone away at some point, only Qiao Yan's and Lin Xiao's footsteps echoed in the corridor, accompanied by sound effects from somewhere around.
Qiao Yan brushed away the third mannequin that fell suddenly, and continued walking forward without changing his expression.
Lin Xiao paused and followed closely.
That's right, Lin Xiao, the school bully of the famous No. [-] Middle School, has an unknown weakness—fear of the dark and ghosts.
It's a bit embarrassing to say this weakness, so since childhood, when Chen Le proposed to go to a secret room in a haunted house, Lin Xiao would refuse him with various reasons, or simply use "boring" as an excuse to suppress him by force.
No one would have imagined that Lin Xiao, who fights like a wolf, would be scared out of his wits by such an unnecessary thing.
Lin Xiao looked at Qiao Yan who was walking ahead calmly, and couldn't help feeling regretful.
Who knew that Qiao Yan, who looked so weak that he couldn't even ride a roller coaster, was not afraid of haunted houses at all?
... If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't follow in.
Gee.
As Qiao Yan turned the corner, teasing thoughts suddenly emerged.
He slowed down, heard Lin Xiao's movement behind him, and suddenly turned around!
"Wow!"
"Scared!" Lin Xiao was so frightened that he stopped, and even took two steps back unconsciously.
"Are you scared?" Qiao Yan laughed.
Under the flickering lights of the underworld, the omega in front of him squinted his almond eyes, showing a childish smile, with a proud look of having succeeded in a prank.
The faint scent of orchids lingered over, making Lin Xiao suddenly a little irritable.
"Scare me?" The boy's momentum suddenly rose, he raised his eyebrows, and the tall figure rushed forward two steps.
Qiao Yan let out an "Hey" and was cornered by him.
A cold wind blows from the hole in the wall.
Qiao Yan trembled.
"You are very courageous." Lin Xiao lowered his head slightly, looking at Omega in front of him with a pair of phoenix eyes, "Don't hide from me now? How dare you scare me?"
"Ah...that, I'm sorry." Qiao Yan was held in the corner by Lin Xiao, and he bluntly felt a sense of crisis, and apologized resolutely, "I didn't know you were afraid of ghosts."
As soon as these words came out, the breath around the boy became even colder.
"I'm not afraid of ghosts." He paused every word, with a strange expression on his face.
"Well, you're not afraid." Qiao Yan said perfunctorily, pushing Lin Xiao to come out from the corner.
The boy had begun to take the outline of an adult man, and Qiao Yan's hand touched Lin Xiao's chest.
The body of the boy under him radiated heat, and his flexible muscles contained strength.
Qiao Yan immediately let go of her hand as if she had been burned.
"I'm really not afraid..." Lin Xiao didn't realize Qiao Yan's unease at all. He scratched his head irritably, as if he was giving up on himself, "Forget it... don't say it."
"Yeah." It was obviously cold here, but Qiao Yan felt his cheeks getting hot. He turned his head away to avoid the boy's eyes, "I won't say anything, you...let me go."
Lin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and then took two steps back.
The strong smell of alcohol around him faded a bit, Qiao Yan exhaled lightly, raised his hand and pressed the back of his neck.
Obviously Lin Xiao didn't release the pheromone intentionally, but at that moment just now... he seemed to feel his glands swell and ache.
——My own pheromone concentration has increased.
"Brother Xiao! Qiao Yan!" Chen Le's voice came from not far away, "Where are you?"
Maybe it's been a long time since they came out, so Chen Le came in to look for them.
Lin Xiao responded, "Here." Turning his head, he said uncomfortably, "Remember."
Qiao Yan looked at the boy's sharp jaw, turned his eyes away, and gave a low "hmm".
After walking out of the dark haunted house and standing in the sunlight again, Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Qiao Yan.
Qiao Yan's expression was a little strange, seeing Lin Xiao looking over, he turned his head away quickly.
... He was the one who revealed the secret. Why is Qiao Yan so awkward?
I really don't understand these omega.
"Student Lin Xiao!" Before Lin Xiao could understand Qiao Yan's expression, Xu Yanyan stepped forward and stood in front of him, her face full of joy, "I see that you haven't come out for so long, I'm worried whether you will come out What is it that made Chen Le go back to find you."
Although she had Qiao Yan in her words, it was obvious that Lin Xiao was the only one who was "worried".
"Oh." Chen Le almost smashed through the weakness he had hidden for so many years, which made Lin Xiao very upset, and even had little patience with Xu Yanyan, the instigator, "Let it go."
Xu Yanyan didn't seem to have expected Lin Xiao's reaction like this. Instead of thanking her kindly as she expected, she acted like she was meddling in her own business.
She stood there in embarrassment, her shy and timid face froze.
This incident seemed to be a bit of a blow, until the whole school was on the way back, Xu Yanyan looked dazed and didn't say a word.
Chen Le was very strange, and quietly asked Qiao Yan: "Brother Xiao is usually very polite to girls, why are you so impatient today?"
Qiao Yan shook his head.
He looked at Lin Xiao who was sleeping with drooping eyes behind him, and lightly pursed his lower lip.
He probably knew why Lin Xiao was angry, but he didn't want to tell Chen Le.
——This is their secret.
