I Heard You Like Me Too

Chapter 38

What could be more embarrassing than this?

Du Yu Shu thought but couldn’t come up with anything.

The last segment was a battle in the forest, this segment is a castle exploration. She doesn’t know where the production crew was able to borrow this castle. It is surrounded by the forest making it look gloomy and abandoned.

Du Yu Shu sneakily stole a glance at Ye Jing An. If she remembers correctly, he seems to be afraid of ghosts.

Last time, when they went to watch a ghost movie, it scared him to death.

When the lot of them were blindfolded and brought into the entrance of the castle, the director’s voice rang out throughout the castle, “In this century-old castle lies an earth-shattering secret and a hidden treasure that has been missing for thousands of years. Your mission is to find this missing treasure.”

“The first to find the treasure could take it away.”

“There are many hidden maps and objects in this castle to help you on your quest, but there are also many things that will block you from finding the treasure.”

“The treasure map could be fake or real, it is for you to decide.”

“Now, will everyone please remove your blindfolds.”

When the voice stopped, Du Yu Shu held back the urge to curse out loud. When she took off the blindfold, her heart rate couldn’t help but increase.

In front of them is a deep dark corridor covered by looming red characters, lit by candles that may go out at any time. There is faint whirring sound as if something is going to jump out of the smooth floor.

Du Yu Shu couldn’t help but the stand up straight and curse the production team for making it so realistic. She turned to Ye Jing An and pretended to be unfazed, “Let’s grab onto each other’s sleeves, I feel like something is going to happen.”

Ye Jing An who has been staring at the wall, slowly turned his eyes away and looked at Du Yu Shu and stiffly said, “.....what?”

Du Yu Shu felt for a moment that she is not afraid of anything. She couldn’t help but throw some angry glances at thecamera. What is wrong with the production team?! Do they not know that there’s someone afraid of ghosts?!

Du Yu Shu pulled his sleeve. She looked around and ridiculed, “Hey, could it be that you are afraid of ghosts?”

Ye Jing An looked at Du Yu Shu’s hand which is pulling his sleeve. His eyes showed a slight smile, “....heh.”

They felt as if today’s mission couldn’t be this simple. Ye Jing An and Du Yu Shu walked down the corridor, their heels on the floor filled the air, creating an echo. They did not communicate along the way, but Du Yu Shu could feel Ye Jing An’s stiffness.

Is he that afraid of ghosts.....?”

Du Yu Shu looked at his rigid face and couldn’t help but feel distressed. What is the production team playing at? Do they really not know that there’s someone afraid of ghosts?!

“How are we going to find anything?” Du Yu Shu took the initiative to talk. It is said that talking could distract you from your fears. Although she doesn’t know if it is true, she is in a desperate situation right now and she can’t even find any solutions on Baidu. “Let’s go look over there.”

T/N: Baidu: a search engine in China.

Ye Jing An nodded and walked slowly as if he didn’tjhear what she said. DuwYu Shu took it that he is scared silly andfelt even more distressed.

When they get back, she will definitely have a stern talk with the production team!

Those scared of ghosts could have a heart attack!

“Left or right?” When they reached where the corridor split, Du Yu Shu turned to ask Ye Jing An, “Why do I feel like something bad is going to happen to one of these corridors and the other one is going to be safe....”

“Left?” Ye Jing An grabbed onto her sleeve, “

“....You really.....” Du Yu Shu couldn’t find the right adjectives and simply changed the topic. “Since it is the road you choose, what happens will be your responsibility. It’s time to test your character.”

“I think that with you here, nothing good will happen.” Ye Jing An retorted. Although he spoke slower, there is still some of his imposing manners from before.

Du Yu Shu sighed in relief.

Du Yu Shu couldn’t help but be depressed by his alienation and politeness. She would rather Ye Jing An quarrel with her like before.

As if they are strangers......

Du Yu Shu pursed her lips and pulled Ye Jing An forward. After walking through the corridors, they still haven’t found anything.

“Judging by this show, I feel like the map and the items wouldn’t be easy to find. There must be some kind of obstacle.” Du Yu Shu furrowed her brows.

“.......Probably a ghost.” Ye Jing An said.

“.....” Du Yu Shu indifferently said, “If there’s a ghost, you would be scared to death.”

Ye Jing An, “.......”

“It seems like there is a box there,” Du Yu Shu pointed at the direction in front of them, “Let’s go look.”

......

“Ah––––” Before they could reach the place, Ye Jing An issued a loud scream and grabbed onto Du Yu Shu, burying in his head on her shoulder. He hoarsely cried out, “There’s a ghost.....”

Ye Jing An deeply inhaled Du Yu Shu’s scents and quietly exposed a smile which no one else saw.

Du Yu Shu was not scared by that grey skirt wearing creature covered in red liquid but by Ye Jing An.

She strokes his head and pats his back as she helplessly comforted him, “That’s not a ghost, it’s only a staff member.”

Ye Jing An mumbled, “....ghost.....”

“How is that ghost!” Du Yu Shu calmly said, keeping the pace of her stroking, “That’s probably ketchup on her face. The long skirt is covering her feet. She is probably not wearing any shoes which is why she didn’t make any sound. As for everything else, it is just a mirage created by the mirrors over there.”

“That’s a person,” Du Yu Shu laughed, “Don’t be afraid, mommy’s here, don’t afraid...”

Ye Jing An straightened and blankly stared at her, “....”

Du Yu Shu vigorously walked forward and poked the ghost, “How does she look like a ghost? How could I have been able to touch a ghost? Aren’t ghosts supposed to be transparent? This is a costume.”

Du Yu Shu used her finger and wiped off the red liquid on the ghost’s face and smelt it, “It’s only ketchup. It’smells very sweet too. Where did you buy it, it pretty good.”

Ye Jing An, “......”

Cameramen, “....”

The ghost staff, “.....”
