Chapter 7, The Carnival of Joy House

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Hehe... Seeing Le Xiaolian's flustered expression, Shi Xun's smile remained as radiant as spring flowers, with his shell-like white and even teeth shining with brilliant light. Suddenly, it seemed he understood something, and with a grin, he said, "Oh, I see, is it because I haven't been dating you lately that you feel sad?"

Ding ding ding ding—ding ding ding ding—

As she watched Shi Xun rush towards her like a launched projectile, Le Xiaolian wanted to dodge but it was already too late. Her steps faltered, and her body immediately lost its balance, causing her to sit down abruptly on the ground

Le Xiaolian stood at the edge of the cement platform, her eyes wide with anxiety as she stared at Shi Xun. However, after a moment, she turned her head to the side, pouted her lips, and let out a cold huff

The dazzling Ferris wheel spins continuously, exuding an air of romance, while the colorful roller coasters soar into the sky with a whoosh, resembling a fairy tale. The carousel, akin to a whimsical story, sings a joyful tune. Along the promenade, numerous charming little shops attract countless sweet young girls, each clutching adorable plush toys with affection. Children at the entrance of the dessert shop savor their ice cream, their faces adorned with satisfied smiles, as the laughter and joy of visitors echo in every corner of the amusement park. The promenade is lined with an array of delightful shops that captivate many sweet young girls, each holding onto their cute plush toys with great fondness. Children at the dessert shop's entrance enjoy their ice cream, their faces reflecting contentment, while the cheerful laughter of visitors resonates throughout the park.

As the sun sets in the west, the throngs of visitors gradually disperse. The once bustling amusement park, filled with joyous voices, slowly cools down.

The sound of rustling or flowing water

"Little Cola, you... you really are not bad at all..." A voice, panting heavily, carried a fragmented laughter.

After a while, seeing that the phone was almost dry, Le Xiaolian, feeling somewhat anxious, pressed the power button of the phone. Fortunately, it seemed that the phone was still functional! Le Xiaolian let out a long sigh of relief

Oh ho ho ho ho! Ah ha ha ha ha!

The frantic screams violently assaulted Le Xiaolian's throat. She took a deep breath, desperately holding herself together, and with her brain already nearing 80% blankness, she managed to analyze the situation slightly. Finally, she barely opened her mouth, producing a sound that was as turbulent as water sloshing in a cup being shaken vigorously

"Shua— public bus!" Seeing the tightly closed doors of the rapidly departing bus, Le Xiaolian let out a sigh of frustration, her voice drooping like noodles soaked in water, limp and listless.

Grow taller

Ah... I... am in Joyful Paradise... Suddenly, I recalled that on a cold autumn night, I had told myself to get in touch after two hours. Looking at the time displayed on my phone now, which reads 5:20 PM, Le Xiaolian felt a wave of regret and guilt in her heart

Ugh ... ... Wowwwwwwwww

Senior? ... ...

Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff!

A monotonous electronic announcement drifted out from the bus that was slowly pulling into the station. After waiting for a long time, Le Xiaolian quickly reached into her bag to retrieve her bus card, preparing to board the bus

Hehe ... ... Little Cola, that's right, this is indeed a very small case! So you must not call out later! The one who calls is Little Pig!

In an instant, Le Xiaolian felt as if her heart was being tightly squeezed by a hand, then released...

Alas! Why is this guy able to laugh so candidly while saying such disgusting things?

"It is fortunate that you are safe..." On a chilly autumn night, the head was deeply buried in Le Xiaolian's hair, softly murmuring as if in a dream, "Get rid of you, please do not suddenly disappear like this again, okay?"

Ah, by the way! Suddenly, Zhi Xun's eyes lit up as she grabbed one of Le Xiao Lian's braids and waved it in front of her, "Xiao Ke Le, it's rare that I have time, and since you've been dumped by your boyfriend, why don't I help you complete the 'Autumn Campus Cultural Festival' devil training!"

At this moment, in the café by the window, a young man wearing a white baseball cap pulled low hung up the phone and leaned against the soft armrest of the sofa, letting out a soft, languid sigh

Le Xiaolian ... ... I died so tragically ... ... Le Xiaolian ... ... return my life to me ... ...

Le Xiaolian and Shi Xun Dali threw themselves onto the bench. They lay on it head to head, gazing at the azure sky, taking deep breaths in large gulps, striving to calm their hearts that were nearing overload.

At that moment, Xun observed the black sports watch on his wrist, and seriously counted on his fingers: "If we calculate it this way, Xiaokele, you have just spent about a minute with me, so... doesn't that make you a disaster that will last for a thousand years?"

Seeing the somewhat anxious expression on Le Xiaolian's face, Shi Xun was momentarily taken aback in confusion. However, he quickly raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mischievous smile, and quickened his pace to follow Le Xiaolian towards the entrance of Joyful Paradise

As he spoke, the smile on his face suddenly became hazy, as if shrouded in a thin layer of mist. He lowered his eyelids and slowly said: "It's just... I do not wish to experience this feeling again."

At this time... at this time, Xun... are you... are you here? This... this kind of deceptive little trick from kindergarten, you... you should stop playing it!

It felt as if the last vestige of strength in her body had been drained away, and Le Xiaolian found herself unable to move even a little, her heart weighed down as if it were filled with lead

Countless slender columns of water suddenly erupted simultaneously from the pipes laid beneath the music fountain square, encircling the entire fountain square in concentric circles

Le Xiaolian was taken aback and raised her head. Before her stood a greenish-faced, over five meters tall three-eyed demon. The demon was bending down, its crimson tongue lolling out, glaring at her with a predatory gaze, as if it were ready to pounce on her at any moment

Cherished Coffee House ... ... what a lovely name ... ... " Le Xiaolian's face broke into a yearning smile, but suddenly her expression changed, and she forcefully retracted her outstretched neck, reminding herself, " Le Xiaolian, that kind of luxurious place is not somewhere you can enter; you should hurry to the municipal library instead.

Hello? Senior, on this chilly autumn night...

Feeling a sudden, intense pain in his thigh, Xun instinctively opened his mouth, and a loud "Ah" was about to burst forth like a cannonball.

"Is this a phone?" ... Xun said lazily, pulling out Le Xiaolian's phone from his pocket. He flipped open the phone and looked around, "Xiao Kele, this model is quite outdated! It's time for an upgrade, don't you think?"

Wuwuwuwu---wuwuwuwu---

On a chilly autumn night, senior... ... why are you in such a hurry? Has something happened? Or are you angry with me?... ...

At this moment, on a chilly autumn night beside He Le Xiaolian, the voices of a mother and her child could be heard.

The setting sun slants its rays onto a small patch of camphor forest not far from the restroom, where the scattered sunlight glimmers like golden stars among the camphor trees.

Just as the moment arrived, the mischievous spirit unexpectedly plunged down with the fastest speed in history!

Over here!

Wow, oh no, a ghost!

Le Xiaolian ... ... I died so tragically ... ... Le Xiaolian ... ... take my life ... ...

Thinking of this, the girl glanced at the row of small shops across the street, and finally her gaze settled on the sign of "Zhenai Café"

He simply tore off the two red strips of paper stuck to both sides of his cheek, and then pressed the phone that was resting on his chin.

Le Xiaolian, feeling somewhat flustered, hurriedly took the words of Han Qiuyue, quickly grabbed her bag, and pulled out a piece of paper, stammering as she handed it to Han Qiuyue, "This... this is an essay written by a classmate of ours. I can't understand what she has written... so I specifically came to seek your guidance, senior!"

"Coke Mom? ... ... Hey! Little Coke! Wait!" At that moment, Shi Xun was shouting at Le Xiaolian, who was rushing towards the fountain.

Descend from the top of the slide in an instant

No way..." Le Xiaolian felt a shiver run down her spine, mustering the courage that had scattered within her body, and turned back to look at that three-eyed monster again, "But I clearly heard it just now..."

呼...! ... I'm afraid I'll die eight hundred times if I get angry with this guy...! He must be my nemesis, it's better to stay away from him...

The "City of Hell" truly lives up to its name

Senior! Actually, I ... ...

Alas ...! ... You despicable fellow, it turns out it was you trying to scare me! Since that is the case, I shall take advantage of the situation and let you know how miserable the consequences will be for teasing me, Le Xiaolian! Hmph!

The night breeze gently stirred their clothing and hair, while a faint fragrance of lotus lingered around them. Le Xiaolian softly closed her eyes, breathing in the pleasant air as if in a trance

Just as Xun Yangyang was smiling proudly and talking to himself, a furious voice exploded in his ear

Uncertain of the reason, Le Xiaolian's mind was suddenly filled with the image of Senior Han Qiuyue's face! He was taken aback, his face flushed, and he shot a furious glance at Shi Xun.

Hmph, such matters are nothing to someone like me who aims to become the top student in the Star Alliance!" Le Xiaolian adjusted her rapid breathing and pretended to respond nonchalantly in a loud voice

Hehe! By the way, Little Cola, I just remembered that there is one more activity for the "Double Ninth Festival" that I haven't specially trained you in! That is dancing! Now, let me teach you the modern dance steps!

Qū——Qū——Qū——

Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha! Little Cola, you are really timid! Seeing the way Le Xiaolian fled in panic, "Suspension Eye Ghost" suddenly burst into a burst of happy laughter!

Little Lian Le furrowed her brows, her eyes glinting sharply, and without saying a word, she raised her fist and swung it towards him!

At this moment, the sound of the fountain and the administrator emanated from the speakers beside the fountain, yet Le Xiaolian furrowed her brows and continued to rush towards the center of the fountain, showing no intention of stopping her pace.

Hey! You big jerk! Hurry up and give me back my phone!" Le Xiaolian saw her phone being held high and was so angry that her face turned red, barking like an angry little dog at Shi Xun.

"Hey! Do you have anything else to say?" Le Xiaolian glared at him impatiently

Completely unprepared, Le Xiaolian was caught off guard, feeling as if her entire heart was instantly thrown into disarray, as if it were about to burst out from her throat, her throat constricting like a spring! She could no longer hold back, opened her mouth, and screamed with all her might!

However, the senior unexpectedly has something to attend to on this chilly autumn night, so where should I go for the next two hours...

Ah! The study of a cold autumn night

Who knows that a flash of bright light suddenly appeared in Shi Xun's eyes! He abruptly changed direction and charged towards Le Xiaolian unexpectedly!

"Who got dumped by a friend from the south!" Upon hearing Xun's words, Le Xiaolian widened her eyes in surprise, but soon suppressed her overwhelming anger and looked at him with a mix of belief and skepticism, "What kind of devilish training is this?"

Ah! It hurts! It hurts! My toe seems to be fractured

Wow! My butt hurts so much! Her originally proud and radiant face instantly turned dark and gloomy

In fact, today I have regarded you as another person!

Left hook! Uppercut! Hmph! Let's have another whirlwind sweep kick!

A magnificent musical fountain stands in the center of the park, quietly awaiting the arrival of the next opening moment. The setting sun shines on the shimmering water surface, refracting colorful rays of light. Soft golden afterglow gently spills onto a nearby white European-style bench, glistening. Surrounding it are rows of camphor trees, standing tall like soldiers, and beside a quietly standing white bench, the sound of two dragging footsteps suddenly emerges from the left and right.

However, after only a few steps, he suddenly stopped again, standing dazed at the street corner, reaching out to lower the long brim of his baseball cap. A faint shadow immediately enveloped his porcelain-like face, obscuring any expression.

As night fell, in a children's playground not far from Joy Paradise, Le Xiaolian and Han Qiuyue sat together on two adjacent slides over ten meters high. With their hands propped behind them, they tilted their heads back, gazing at the night sky, which was as splendid as velvet in deep indigo, sprinkled with shards of diamonds.

Little Lian! In a short while, a clear and urgent voice came from her right front. Le Xiaolian was taken aback, turned her head, and saw Han Qiuyue standing not far away. Upon seeing Le Xiaolian, he seemed to let out a heavy sigh of relief

Who cares about you! It's strange if I don't run away

Ah! My phone!" Le Xiaolian trembled with anger, gritting her teeth and glaring at Shi Xun, then quickly turned and rushed towards the center of the fountain. "You big idiot! That was a gift from my mother after I finished my high school entrance examination. If it gets broken, I, Le Xiaolian, will never forgive you for the rest of my life!"

Ah ha ha ha! Little Cola! Come on! Come on!

Little Bao is a well-behaved child, a brave young man, so he should walk by himself

Ah, no... I haven't... Hehe... The warmth in the embrace of the chilly autumn night seems to linger, and Le Xiaolian's face turns red as she quickly waves her hand, "Senior, the one who should apologize is me! We agreed to contact each other after two hours, but my phone..."

Le Xiaolian ... ... So your name also contains a 'Lian' ... ...

Sunday · Xinghua University Bus Station

Ugh... Upon hearing Xun's words, Le Xiaolian was so furious that her face was about to explode, a black mushroom cloud rising rapidly from her head like the explosion of an atomic bomb

Wow! At that moment, Xun made a quick move and narrowly avoided it

Just when Le Xiaolian was frustrated with herself for not focusing on the key points, the mischievous Le actually paused at the highest point in the sky

Le Xiaolian thought to herself, helplessly rubbing her slightly swollen head, but just as she was about to turn and leave, a crisp sound of a door closing suddenly reached her ears

As if in an instant

He quickly walked up behind the terrifying three-eyed monster and took out a mobile phone

Wow! Le Xiaolian! These are my new shoes! They are from Dior! A super luxury brand!

Whizz-Whizz-Whizz-Whizz.

Little did she know, at that moment, a detached voice slowly echoed in her ear, "Is that what you just heard?"

Hmph! I won't fall for your tricks! You must be trying to make a fool out of me! Anyway, this model of the phone is already quite old! If you don't return it to me, I can just buy a new one!

A gust of wind swept by, and the mist from the fountain reflected the sunlight, lightly enveloping his hair like a sheer veil entwined with golden threads, emanating a captivating golden sheen. His handsomeness was so flamboyant, so unrestrained! It seemed that nothing could diminish the innate brilliance of his radiant glow!

After Le Xiaolian finished speaking, she took out her phone from her backpack, preparing to call Han Qiuyue

Le Xiaolian's blood was boiling, yet at this moment it seemed as if it would freeze! With a pale face, she stood rigidly, staring at Shi Xun in front of her, trembling violently as if she were in a fight.

With the roar of Le Xiaolian, the rumbling of the machine echoed across the sky, and the fun machine began to turn.

Wow! A ghost! There is an evil spirit! I will kill you! I will kill you!

However, he suddenly closed his mouth tightly, forcefully swallowing back the sound.

Yet, it left Le Xiaolian standing still in place, only able to gaze blankly at the cold autumn night. After a long while, she finally mustered all her strength and asked with difficulty: "Is 'she' the person that the senior likes?"

Standing at a distance, Shi Xun gazed at the tightly embraced figures before him. He was momentarily taken aback, but then he nonchalantly curled one corner of his mouth upward and turned to walk briskly in the opposite direction

And a slender crescent moon hangs distantly in a corner of the sky ... . ... Between them lies an insurmountable distance that feels so unattainable.

Buzz—buzz—buzz—buzz

What are we doing here

"Are you still not done with your tasks?" The girl's originally sparkling eyes dimmed slightly. However, she quickly raised the corners of her mouth and said, "Ah, it's no problem! Senior, you go ahead and take care of your work!"

Le Xiaolian mumbled as she stood in front of the dryer, holding her damp phone, continuously flipping it back and forth as if roasting rice cakes.

The night breeze gently caresses the long hair of the cold autumn night, continuously dancing in the air, further highlighting the tranquility and solitude of his deep, pitch-black eyes

Star University Station has arrived. Passengers disembarking at this station, please exit from the rear door

"Xun Chou! Stop right there! If you have the ability, don't run away! You are treacherous! How could you resort to underhanded tactics?"

Hehehe, this is a private training that others can't even ask for!

A faint voice suddenly reached Le Xiaolian's ears

Seeing Le Xiaolian's furious expression, Shi Xun instead looked at her eyes with a cheerful smile

Didi

"Xiao Lian, I still have some unfinished tasks, and I may need another two hours... I am very sorry..." A gentle and apologetic voice came from the other end of the phone

The terrifying sound that had been constantly lingering in the air suddenly ceased! And that 'ghost' was none other than Shi Xun!

"Little Cola! Wait! Don't go in! Hey! Fool, the fountain is about to spray!" The anxious smile of Shi Xun, who had caught up at some point, reflected his desire to stop them.

Seeing the dejected and disappointed expression on Le Xiaolian's face, Han Qiunye, who was completely unaware of the situation, gently smiled and ruffled her hair

Boom

Gradually, the sun leaves behind a shadow as thin as a cicada's wing on the distant horizon. The entire sky and land are enveloped in a warm orange hue, and the air is filled with a gentle and tranquil atmosphere.

Ah! ... ... I almost forgot!

Upon seeing Le Xiaolian, Xiun's eyes lit up, but before he could call out to her, Le Xiaolian swiftly dashed towards the entrance of Happy Paradise like a little deer

Le Xiaolian hurriedly turned her head to the side and said in a muffled voice

I have seen the landscapes of the entire world

Le Xiaolian could no longer hold back! She screamed with all her might, lunging forward, and fled with her head tucked down like an ostrich!

Oh... how boring...

Le Xiaolian looked at her phone, which was emitting a busy tone, with confusion, and murmured softly with some concern

Excerpt from the blog "The Illusory Land of Lotus" published on October 8, 2008, Category: Journey of the Heart

Oh? Who is that person... Suddenly, those drowsy eyes brightened with a "ding," and the body that was as limp as cotton instantly perked up. The boy in the baseball cap leaned forward, his eyes wide with excitement as he looked towards the bus stop across the street, where a girl in a blue dress was shielding her eyes with her hand, looking up at something.

A crisp ringtone suddenly rang out from the crowd waiting for the bus

Suddenly, the corners of his mouth curled into a beautiful arc, "Yes... but we are quite far apart now..."

Le Xiaolian ... ... I died so tragically ... ... Le Xiaolian ... ... return my life to me ... ...

Seeing Le Xiaolian with a look of having boarded a pirate ship, Shi Xun raised his eyebrows with a serious expression: "Hehe, Little Cola, you aren't really scared, are you? Afraid to ride this invincible roller coaster?"

Seeing Le Xiaolian's indifferent expression, Shi Xun's eyes rolled around and he said, "Tch, how boring! I originally wanted to tease you, but you didn't fall for it! Since you happen to be changing your phone, why not let me help you throw it away!"

Le Xiaolian ran frantically and soon arrived at the entrance of the now sparsely populated Joy Paradise. She brushed aside the sticky strands of hair on her forehead, panting as she tiptoed anxiously, glancing around.

This despicable fellow

As if to show off, the little boy, dressed in denim overalls, marched up to them with a proud and spirited demeanor, extending his chubby little finger to loudly declare in the chilly autumn night! He then walked forward with somewhat unsteady steps, filled with pride.

Hmph! You bastard, dare to speak? Stop right there!

Ah, ah, ah! Little Cola! Are you done yet? I am helping you train!

Damn it... Every time I see that guy, nothing good ever happens

Le Xiaolian was caught off guard, and her left foot was already stamped with a large footprint by Shi Xun!

Le Xiaolian felt a sudden chill on the autumn night, and then quickly released the hand that was holding her, looking at Le Xiaolian with a hint of embarrassment

A pair of dirty white casual shoes came to a stop at the entrance of the Joyful Paradise.

"Hehe—Little Cola, you will understand soon." Shi Xun's eyes sparkled with a gleeful light, "This type of entertainment can stimulate the enlargement of the nuclei in your brain cells, enhancing your reaction capabilities. It accelerates your brain's activity while simultaneously enlarging the nuclei of your brain cells, placing your mind in a state of heightened tension, thereby improving your responsiveness. Moreover, during the fluctuating processes of rising and falling, up and down, fast and slow, straight and slanted, it enables your body to make instantaneous corrections to regain balance." It accelerates your brain's activity while simultaneously enlarging the nuclei of your brain cells, placing your mind in a state of heightened tension, thereby improving your responsiveness. Moreover, during the fluctuating processes of rising and falling, up and down, fast and slow, straight and slanted, it enables your body to make instantaneous corrections to regain balance.

This bastard! He actually dares to frame me! Hmph! I will make you taste the bitterness of being burdened by an angry woman!

On an unusually cold autumn night, I held the paper and, illuminated by the moonlight, examined it carefully for a while. Finally, with a defeated smile, I shook my head and said, "I am sorry, Xiao Lian, it seems I am unable to help you either; this essay... is truly too difficult to understand"

At 5:30 PM, as the time to close the park approaches, Joyful Paradise appears increasingly desolate.

Hahaha—hahaha—Little Cola is calling—

The bus stop in front of Xinghua University is well-connected and usually bustling with people. However, resembling a weekend, only four or five passengers are scattered in line, leisurely waiting for the arrival of the bus

Unexpectedly, Shi Xun suddenly reached out a hand and tightly grasped the hand of Le Xiaolian, which was gripping the railing and trembling slightly.

Beside the fountain, curious tourists stopped one after another, turning to look at them, gesturing towards Shi Xun and Le Xiaolian, occasionally bursting into fits of suppressed laughter. Just as Le Xiaolian and Shi Xun, who were in the midst of stepping into a puddle, were momentarily taken aback and turned to look, they discovered that, at some point, the water jets of the fountain had all ceased.

A few minutes later, Le Xiaolian still mustered her courage and, with a steely resolve, ventured alone into the "City of Hell"

Haha! A feint to the east and strike to the west! Both phones have recorded the sound! Hehe, Little Cola, this training must be quite effective, right? I can see that your psychological resilience has certainly improved a lot

Ah! Little...

Are you okay! ... ... I am really sorry!'' Seeing Xu's pained and jumping figure, Le Xiaolian pouted her lips in guilt and murmured softly, ``But you shouldn't have brushed against me... ...''

All passengers who have boarded the "Invincible Adventure" are requested to fasten their seatbelts. In one minute, the thrilling journey is about to begin

As they watched the passersby who cast surprised glances at them, Le Xiaolian felt somewhat embarrassed, yet she was even less willing to break the dreamlike atmosphere that enveloped the two of them at that moment

"Ugh—" Le Xiaolian felt a sharp pain in her hair and immediately turned her head angrily to glare at Shi Xun, a cross-shaped vein bulging on her forehead

Shi Xun rubbed his wet hair while walking out of the bathroom, intending to meet Le Xiaolian. However, as soon as he reached the edge of the camphor forest, he saw Le Xiaolian hurriedly coming out of the bathroom.

Hoo hoo hoo hoo - hoo hoo hoo hoo

Alright, we will see each other later

Le Xiaolian ... ... I died so tragically ... ... Le Xiaolian ... ... take my life ... ...

Alright! Alright! Since you seem to show some sincerity, I will let bygones be bygones! I forgive you!

"Cut it out! This is simply sophistry!" Le Xiaolian scoffed, feeling a strong regret for having believed Shi Xun's words and wasting time coming here with him. "I'm not going to argue with you anymore; I have to leave first"

Slide

The building, encircled by a ring of skulls forming a gate, appears particularly eerie, exuding a suffocating atmosphere. Heart-wrenching wails and howls continuously emanate from within the house, while a stark white plaque bears four shocking characters, seemingly dripping with fresh red blood

There is none... there is no sound at all!" Shi Xun said, scratching his head in confusion

Le Xiaolian had not yet had the chance to voice her thoughts, and it seemed that the opportunity to express them was forever lost. She turned her head in a daze, only to find Han Qiuyue gazing into the distance, as if immersed in some distant memory.

Le Xiaolian looked at Shi Xun's face and, for a moment, felt a bit dazed

Because I really cannot understand what classmate Shen Xuechi's essay means, and I cannot figure out how to persuade her to team up with me for the "Chongyang Festival" competition, I have no choice but to seek help from Senior Han Qiuyue, asking him to take a look at classmate Shen Xuechi's "heavenly book essay".

However... please remove your pig hand first! Ahーー

When she stumbled and wobbled her way to the final level of the "City of Hell"...

Le Xiaolian was momentarily taken aback, slightly turning her face to discover that the soft and flowing strands of hair on Han Qiuyue's side were already slightly damp. Could it be that he had run all the way here?

The afternoon sunlight slanted through the transparent glass windows of the café, gently casting its glow on the handsome face of the young man. He languidly gazed at the crowd passing by outside and the vehicles coming and going at the nearby bus stop... A deep sense of weariness silently flowed in his eyes...

What kind of trick is this

Le Xiaolian turned her head cautiously, only to find Shi Xun staring at her with a pair of bright eyes, looking utterly bewildered

By the way, Little Cola, in order to make the training more effective, we will split up and act separately in 'City of Hell' later

The path leading to the "City of Hell" gate is a bottomless road paved with blue bricks, emanating a chilling aura. On both sides, jagged walls are adorned with numerous paintings, each depicting the harrowing scenes of people suffering in hell, sending shivers down one's spine. As one ventures further inside, it becomes apparent that it is a terrifying wax museum! The lifelike wax figures, indistinguishable from real people, either gaze at Le Xiaolian with wide, terrified eyes pleading for help, or glare at her with grotesque expressions, occasionally emitting bursts of sinister laughter. Even more horrifying, a hand occasionally reaches out from mid-air, as if to pull Le Xiaolian in at any moment, subjecting her to the torments of hell!

As they watched the little boy and his mother walk away, both of them unconsciously let out a gentle sigh of relief. After a while, they turned to look at each other and shyly exchanged a smile.

Little did she know, before her words had even faded, that the eerie voice demanding a life echoed beside her once more

"Together forever?" Le Xiaolian felt as if she were cradling a small deer in her arms, her heart racing, and her face was so flushed it seemed as if it might catch fire. She took a deep breath and slightly turned her head.

What? He didn't make a sound! This guy really knows how to endure

Night has quietly descended without notice

Time Xun—You absolute jerk—Wow ah ah ah ah

City of Hell

It will not be caught off guard like this

In front of the gate of Joyful Paradise, time seemed to stand still, as Le Xiaolian was tightly embraced by the chilly autumn night

Le Xiaolian, these are all fake... Le Xiaolian, these are all false..." Le Xiaolian shrank her neck, desperately murmuring to comfort herself. She wanted to quickly complete the entire journey, but her feet felt as if they were dragging two heavy lead balls, making it impossible to walk fast!

Hmph! I don't care what you say! You deserve it! Who told you to throw away someone else's things? This punishment is already very lenient for you!" Le Xiaolian crossed her arms, pouted, and retorted loudly. "Hey, are you even being reasonable?" Shi Xun angrily pulled out her phone from her pocket and handed it to Le Xiaolian, "Your broken phone is right here! What I threw away just now was only a stone I picked up from the ground!"

Oh, is that so?" Le Xiaolian smiled stiffly, "Don't worry, I will make you take back that statement very soon! But before that... Hey, Shi Xun, please return my phone to me first!"

Brother is shy, even at this age still wants sister to hug him, little treasure is good, little treasure can walk by himself

Seeing Le Xiaolian sitting on the ground in a disheveled state, Shi Xun smugly shrugged his shoulders, leaned closer to her face, and laughed, "Little Kele, do you not understand the principle that all's fair in war?! Hahahaha!"

Senior, I ... ...

In the clear night sky, a faint star is dotted, resembling a silver feather gently swaying in the breeze, radiating its brilliance

What is going on? ... Le Xiaolian was taken aback, looking around at the white, misty air in confusion, then turned to Shi Xun. ... ... He winked at Le Xiaolian again, revealing an astonishingly mischievous smile

Hmph, you fool Xun, now you know the power of me, Le Xiaolian, right

Ha! Little Cola, you really dare to speak! At your current level, you are still eight hundred years away from this goal!" Shi Xun placed his hands behind his head, crossed one leg over the other, and disdainfully splashed a bucket of cold water on Le Xiaolian.

Da Da

"Xun, did you just hear anything..."

Even though the light mist gently caresses his handsome, fair cheeks at this moment, it cannot obscure the dazzling rainbow that appears in his bright, clear eyes

Immediately following, there were two loud, hard sounds

From a distance, one can see two individuals suspended from a massive axe, facing each other, their expressions interwoven with a mix of frustration and excitement

In the mirror of the restroom at Joyful Amusement Park, a face reflecting frustration and anger is seen.

Le Xiaolian widened her eyes, staring blankly at the pair of eyes that had completely lost their previous calmness and composure on that cold autumn night. Before she could come to her senses about what was happening, a pair of long arms suddenly wrapped tightly around her, holding her as if they would never let go again

Um ... ...

The sound of a drop

Le Xiaolian's eyes flashed with a cold light! Seizing the moment when Fan Doule paused briefly in mid-air, she reached out and pinched Shi Xun's thigh with force!

A mass of dark substance suddenly flew out from Shi Xun's hand, tracing an arc in the air before finally landing in the center of the fountain

None of your business

The two individuals standing in the center of the fountain were immediately drenched by the mist that wafted over from the surroundings

How long has it been since I felt this way

However, in stark contrast to this lively scene, a girl with braided hair stood pale-faced in front of a strangely shaped building

The phone rang suddenly just as she was about to put it back in her backpack. Le Xiaolian glanced at the caller ID, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly pressed the answer button

Just as it was said, in the blink of an eye, a person suddenly sprang out from behind Le Xiaolian, causing her to gasp sharply, her eyes nearly popping out in terror

With a punch missing its target, Le Xiaolian instead broke into a wicked grin, raising her tightly clenched fist and launching a frenzied barrage at Shi Xun

A cold autumn night fell silent for a long time.

Hmph! Le Xiaolian, fuming with anger, turned her head and raised her leg to step onto the bus that had already stopped at the station. "In any case, spending even one more second with someone like you will shorten my life by ten years!"

Wow ah ah - wow ah ah ah ah -

Boyfriend

Le Xiaolian was stunned, quickly turned her head to the right, and a dazzling and somewhat dazzling smile suddenly appeared in her sight, making her unable to open her eyes for a moment.

"Coming here is, of course, to train Xiaokela's psychological resilience!" Shi Xun turned his head, grinning as he happily explained, "Walking through a haunted house, the unexpected fears can enhance Xiaokela's endurance and reaction ability! This is quite important for any competition!"

Mind your own business! I have long had my own plans! Le Xiaolian frowned, disdainfully glanced at Shi Xun's mouth, his eyes turned to the other side, too lazy to look at his playful face.

... ... Huh? This is ... ...

I must admit, this guy is really good-looking

Ring ring ring ring—ring ring ring ring—

I will be there shortly

Xiao Lian, although I do not know what this article is truly about, I believe that any work reflects the inner thoughts of its creator. Just like this slide, the scenery seen from any height is different. Therefore, I think that if you want to understand this article, it is necessary to gain a deeper understanding of the author's thoughts!

Suddenly, a piercing whistle sounded outside the fountain, and a middle-aged man in a gray-blue uniform stood with his hands on his hips, shouting angrily at the explorer

A gentle conversation on a cold autumn night, quietly blending in with the drifting wind, rustling leaves... even the transparent and invisible air.

I am sorry, this has happened before, she suddenly lost contact, I am very worried

Le Xiaolian stood there, her hand raised in the air, momentarily blanking out as a fierce heartbeat relentlessly pounded against her chest. Excitement and tension intertwined rapidly within her body, ultimately transforming into a whirlwind that plunged her into an inescapable dizziness.

"Wow! It hurts!" Le Xiaolian exclaimed in pain. Coming to her senses, she looked at Shi Xun, who was laughing heartily in front of her, and, feeling indignant, gritted her teeth. She lifted her leg and continued to join the battle, "You despicable guy! I will repay you tenfold for what you just did! I step on you! I step on you!"

Ah ... ... my precious phone ... ...

What did you say! Say it again if you dare...

... ...

Understanding the thought ... ... is indeed very accurate ... ...

Le Xiaolian automatically muted Shi Xun's voice and charged straight into the center of the fountain! But when she crouched down and looked at the dark object that Shi Xun had brought out!

Seeing Le Xiaolian's hand tightly gripping the phone, fidgeting with some unease, Shi Xun couldn't help but curl his lips into a sly smile, revealing a hint of satisfaction

What exactly happened on that cold autumn night, senior

What appeared before her was a face pale with coldness, a gaping mouth filled with crimson, and a long tongue that kept quivering! ... A pair of furious eyes were glaring wide open, bulging outward, with two streams of fresh blood trickling down from the corners of the eyes...

Under the relentless pursuit of Le Xiaolian, Shi Xun, who was running wildly, cried out for mercy, prompting Le Xiaolian to reveal a mischievous smile of triumph.

"Mind your own business!" Le Xiaolian said defiantly as she turned over, reaching out to snatch the phone from Shi Xun's hand. However, Shi Xun skillfully dodged left and right, and she was unable to get her hands on it.

Le Xiaolian's eyes lit up, and she happily raised one arm to wave at Han Qiuyue. However, just as her arm was lifted, Han Qiuyue suddenly ran towards her at high speed, coming to a stop right in front of her!

Hmph..." At that moment, Xun smiled mischievously, a glint of cunning flashing in his eyes. Suddenly, he reached out and snatched Le Xiaolian's phone from her hand, holding it triumphantly in the air. "Little Cola, the training has already begun, and you cannot give up halfway! I will keep your phone for you; I will return it once the training is over!"

Moreover, why is the senior's body trembling slightly, as if emanating an indescribable sense of fear and fragility

Bang! Bang!

I only hope for the moments spent with you next time

The girl closed her phone and let out a long sigh of resignation

Mom, Xiaobao can't walk anymore, I want to be held

Upon seeing the arrogant figure of Xun and her kidnapped phone, Le Xiaolian felt like a villager who had been plundered by bandits, filled with hatred as she ground her teeth, yet found herself at a loss for what to do

Xiao Lian, just now... did I scare you? I am truly sorry..." On a chilly autumn night, Han Qiuyue retracted her gaze from the night sky and turned her head with an apologetic expression to look at Le Xiao Lian, who was sitting to her left

"By the way, Little Cola, why are you here?" A gleam of cunning triumph flashed in Shi Xun's eyes as he stood with his hands in his pockets, staring wide-eyed around Le Xiaolian. Pretending to be surprised, he asked, "Since you are here, why are you leaving... Ah, I see, Little Cola, you must have been stood up by your friend Nan."

"Hello, is this what you call 'devil training'?" Le Xiaolian sat in the narrow seat, her two braids standing straight up on her head. She frowned and suspiciously glared at Shi Xun beside her, saying, "Swinging back and forth like this... it doesn't feel like anything at all..."

Ah—Shi Xun! You big jerk! Le Xiaolian felt a sharp pain in her foot, wrinkled her nose and grimaced, glaring at Shi Xun with resentment

"Oh? Xiaokela, aren't we friends? You are making me too sad like this!" Shi Xun immediately feigned innocence. He blinked his eyes and looked at Le Xiaolian with confusion

At that moment, a trembling voice slowly emerged from the bench, asking, "Are you still doing well?"

Wuwuwuwu---Wuwuwuwu---

Seeing Le Xiaolian suddenly stop the "battle", a glint flashed in Xu's eyes, and he raised his leg to stomp down hard on Le Xiaolian's foot twice more

The slender and pointed jawline outlines a sorrowful profile, as if even the slightly raised corners of the mouth convey a faint bitterness

What are you saying? Clearly, it was you who caused me to run in here, and everything is your fault, right! Ah! My phone!" Le Xiaolian suddenly shouted, realizing that the phone in her hand had already become wet! She picked it up fiercely and showed it in front of Shi Xun, shouting furiously:

Is that so? Then I must clarify this issue with you! At that moment, Xun raised her eyebrows and unexpectedly grabbed her wrist, pulling her down.

Do you know the legend about this slide

Next to the sofa, on a coffee table covered with an orange tablecloth, there sits a glass of mango juice that is nearly empty. The boy, seemingly too lazy to even move a finger, tilts his head and hooks his lips around the long straw in the glass, sipping intermittently and producing a slurping sound.

A high school girl with two braided pigtails hurriedly lowered her head, reaching into her white square bag to search for something. Her skin was slightly dark, and her delicate features were slightly flushed, giving her a vibrant appearance. She wore a not overly trendy blue cotton dress that was exceptionally neat, showing no signs of wrinkles. After a while, she pulled out an old-fashioned Nokia phone and let out a slight sigh of relief

... ...

Immediately after, Le Xiaolian caught a whiff of a rich fragrance of lotus flowers

Hearing the suggestion from Han Qiuyue, Le Xiaolian slowly nodded her head, forcing herself to lift her gaze to thank Han Qiuyue, "Thank you, Senior Han Qiuyue! I understand! I will definitely work hard..."

Strange... wasn't that sound just now made by you? The hair on Le Xiaolian's arms stood on end in disbelief

After Le Xiaolian finished speaking, she slowly turned her head to the side like a rusty robot, nervously looking around.

Oh ... ...

"Even... even Senior Lian cannot understand it?" Hearing Han Qiuyue's words, Le Xiaolian silently took back the piece of paper and replied absentmindedly

Shi Xun Chong Le Xiao Lian squeezed his eyes and said: "Trust me, this is my unique metaphor for the second transmission of consciousness! Let's set off to my secluded retreat!"

Whoosh

Without waiting for Le Xiaolian to respond, Han Qiuyue hurriedly hung up the phone on the other end.

Hehe—Little Cola, if you want a phone, just come with me! Seeing Le Xiaolian's angry expression, Shi Xun revealed a smug and wicked smile as if his scheme had succeeded, and without further ado, turned around and walked towards the "City of Hell"

Beneath the long brim of the hat, one can vaguely discern a pair of slightly intoxicated eyes that are perpetually enveloped in an air of languor, as if it were an innate quality.

Hey! Little Cola! Didn't you hear me when I told you not to run?

Hey! Silly Kola! I told you not to run in here! Look, now my new clothes and shoes are all wet!" Xu Yuyun, feeling like a drenched chicken, pulled up a corner of her T-shirt and shouted at Le Xiaolian.

I can't stand you... Seeing Le Xiaolian holding her phone as if it were some rare treasure, completely oblivious to her surroundings, Shi Xun shot her an annoyed glance. Suddenly, his gaze flickered, and he curled up, grinning and turning in circles on the spot several times.

Indeed, violating the life principles understood by those before us is erroneous. Soon, Le Xiaolian experienced the consequences of being distracted during the "battle"

In the Success Manual of Su Youhui, Rule 17 for Outstanding Students states: "During 'combat', one must never let down their guard"

No... no problem! Le Xiaolian gritted her teeth and nodded.

Hello, Senior Han Qiuyue, I am Le Xiaolian! The girl answered the phone, and her bright eyes revealed an excited anticipation

Ah, good...

At this moment, a mischievous grin appeared on Shi Xun's face as he grabbed her high-flying ponytail and yanked it down like pulling a light switch

Le Xiaolian tightly covered her ears and bit her lips hard, as if the moment she accidentally opened her mouth, her heart, which was hanging in her throat, would immediately leap out in terror

"Le Xiaolian, we meet again!" A boy in a baseball cap has one hand in his pocket and raises the other hand, happily greeting Le Xiaolian.

Wow! Little Cola! Wait! Wait! Don't hit anymore! It's me! It's me!

Wow!

"Go to hell!" Hearing Shi Xun's words, Le Xiaolian, who had not walked far, could no longer hold back. Instinctively, she raised her fist and rushed forward, mercilessly striking Shi Xun's handsome face!

Doo doo—doo doo— "These two people are quite strange... What are they up to!"

Bang

Da---da---da---da---

Hmm? She felt a heavy blow to her left shoulder, and instinctively turned her head to the left. At the same time, a cheerful voice came from her right.

"Your face is flushed! How appropriate! However, Xiaokela, you seem too relaxed. How can you still have the mood to go on a date at such a critical moment!" Shixun seemed to completely ignore Le Xiaolian's rising anger and continued speaking to himself, "The autumn campus cultural festival is approaching. Don't you want to defeat Jiang Shaoliu? Achieving victory in this competition is the crucial first step!"

Little Lian! Where are you!

Attention all passengers, in 30 seconds, the musical fountain will begin to spray water. Please ensure that any visitors remaining in the fountain area leave quickly to avoid injury. Attention all visitors, in 30 seconds, the musical fountain will begin to spray water. Please ensure that any visitors lingering in the fountain area leave quickly to avoid injury

Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff!

Ugh... Le Xiaolian couldn't help but want to scream loudly! However, she bit her lip tightly.

Seeing the person approaching, Le Xiaolian's face immediately fell weakly. "Get lost, I have something very important to do today, so don't mess with me!"

Shui Zhi Le Xiao Lian glared at him with puffed cheeks, lifted her leg, and forcefully stomped on his white casual shoes, leaving a dark black footprint

On a chilly autumn night, she suddenly smiled softly and said, "Legend has it that those who hold hands and slide down this slide together will be together forever"

Hehe, it's alright. I looked for you for a long time this afternoon but couldn't get in touch. However, it's good that you are fine. Han Qiuyue smiled and shook his head.

Who... who says I am not daring

The Joyful Park on Sundays is always bustling with crowds, as it is the largest amusement park in Xinghua City. Moreover, with the current pleasant autumn weather, it has attracted many families out for an outing

It is unclear how much time has passed, but the heavy breathing gradually eased, and the two seemed to have fallen into a dreamlike state, quietly closing their eyes

Le Xiaolian ... ... I died so tragically ... ... Le Xiaolian ... ... return my life ... ... drip!

The little boy's mother followed behind him, apologetically nodding to Han Qiuyue and He Leilian, and then hurriedly ran after the little boy.

Le Xiaolian looked at the cold autumn night. Suddenly, she wanted to say something, but when the words reached her lips, Le Xiaolian turned her head and swallowed them back.

Le Xiaolian's body was covered in goosebumps, as if electrified, standing upright.

"Xiao Kele, you are in trouble, jumping around like a monkey in front of so many people!" Shi Xun lowered his head, glanced at Le Xiaolian, and muttered in a low voice.

Indeed, only when I am with Senior Hanqiu Ye can I truly experience this sense of joy and peace...

By the way, Xiaolian, you called today and asked me to help you read an article. That article is...

You two, come out quickly

Look at the good things you have done, if the phone cannot be reached, you can hold yourself accountable

Before long, the boy's attractive lips slowly curled upward, revealing a mischievous smile reminiscent of a cat that has spotted a mouse

The frantic voice of Shi Xun sounded behind Le Xiaolian, but just as he finished speaking, a lively piece of music suddenly played from the speakers by the central fountain

Hehe! It's nothing. At least the guy who answered the phone thanked me and avoided your disturbance!

At that moment, Shi Xun suddenly stepped forward to counterattack, forcefully stomping on Le Xiaolian's foot!

Having spoken, he could not help but raise his hand and forcefully fling it in the direction of the fountain

Originally, Le Xiaolian thought that the mischievous fun would swing forward gradually like a swing, but it suddenly shot up, rising into the air in an instant
