What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book

Chapter 62: Haunted House

It’s my first time experiencing Qixi with a girl…Chu Ge’s thoughts were drifting.

It was sudden, yet it didn’t feel sudden. If he were to celebrate Qixi with someone, it could only be Qiu Wuji.

Her coming out of the book… was really nice.

“What is Qixi?” Qiu Wuji asked Chu Ge.

“Emmmm…” Chu Ge’s gaze wandered. “It’s a festival for lovers… Hey, don’t hit me, I really didn’t know today is Qixi… Actually, even if it is, it’s not a big deal. We’re just purely going out to have fun, a calm heart naturally feels cool…”

“I came out to have fun and only then knew it was Qixi!” Qiu Wuji waved the nine roses in her hand and said seriously, “Don’t misunderstand because of this!”

Chu Ge smiled mischievously, “Mhm, mhm.”

“I accepted the flowers because you bought them and don’t want to waste them.” Qiu Wuji became more serious. “I can take them back and keep them alive. I have a technique that can make them last.”

Chu Ge still had a smile on his face, “Ah, right, got it.”

“Why do you have such a weird tone!”

“Ah, how about eating at this place? Italian steak, experience some exotic flavors?”

“Is it delicious?”

“It should be decent…”

“Why do we have to queue up just to eat a meal?”

“That’s how you know it’s good, right?”

“Common people’s perspective. Let’s go somewhere else.” Qiu Wuji tugged at Chu Ge’s collar. “Seeing a line of people waiting outside really looks stupid.”

“I suspect that if we don’t queue up today, we won’t get any food.”

“Then let’s not eat. Since we’re not hungry and it’s not our mealtime, let’s do something else and avoid the crowd. We can eat supper later when we get hungry.”

Chu Ge exclaimed, “You’re clever, Master.”

“It’s easy to know.” Qiu Wuji tilted her head back and flicked her ponytail. “This kind of logic is universally applicable in any world. It’s you who’s foolish!”

Chu Ge pondered for a moment, then took out his phone to book movie tickets. It didn’t matter what movie they watched today; it was not easy to get tickets… After searching for a while, he finally found a 9 o’clock show with two seats left in the corner. Chu Ge swiftly booked them with the speed of someone who had been single for twenty-eight years and breathed a sigh of relief. “Let’s go, let’s go to the amusement park first, and then watch the movie later. It works out perfectly.”

The two of them swiftly headed to the amusement park, and Chu Ge bought the tickets to enter.

Qiu Wuji said, “There are more people here than in the subway. Why don’t they require health codes?”

Chu Ge replied, “Emmmm…”

Qiu Wuji casually asked but didn’t dwell on it. She looked up at the roller coaster going up and down, lacking enthusiasm, and shook her head.

She could fly on her own, so why bother with this?

A group of people screaming on it seemed foolish.

Chu Ge had already expected this and smiled, “Do you want to try that?”

Qiu Wuji followed his gaze and turned her head. Someone was throwing darts at balloons, but they couldn’t hit a single one. There was a pile of cute toys next to it.

“What’s this? Do they give you something if you hit the dart?”

“Yes, isn’t this pure profit for you?”

Qiu Wuji hesitated for a moment, “Isn’t this a scam?”

“If you hit the target with your skills, how is it a scam?”

“I’m a cultivator, it’s too unchallenging. Even games should have some level of challenge to be interesting.”

Chu Ge tilted his head and looked at her for a while, realizing that she indeed lacked interest. He couldn’t help but scratch his head. “You, it seems like you’ve lost your childlike innocence.”

Thinking about it, it was true. It was not easy to get a lady who had been cultivating for ten thousand years interested in playing games. She had been using the computer for so long, watching movies, searching for information, and seeing game advertisements everywhere, but she didn’t show any curiosity to dive into it.

Well, she lacked both curiosity and the desire to play. She was too indifferent. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken them so long to come out for fun for the first time.

Thinking about it, oh no, even the most anticipated haunted house has no meaning.

What ghost could scare her? She could just extinguish all excitement with her Taoist powers…

Thinking left and right, it’s quite distressing: The entrance tickets were so expensive…

Qiu Wuji’s lips curved into a slight smile. “Let’s go, the haunted house.”

Chu Ge was dumbfounded. “How did you know…”

“I looked it up.” Qiu Wuji swayed and walked forward with her hands behind her back. “They say when a man takes a woman to an amusement park, they love the Ferris wheel and the haunted house. On the Ferris wheel, two people can hide in a small cabin in the sky, embracing each other and watching people’s faces turn pale from fear…”

Chu Ge said, “That’s a lie. They hold on to a hammer tightly.”

Qiu Wuji ignored him and continued, “…as for the haunted house, it’s fun to see how scared the girl gets and clings to the guy.”

Chu Ge said, “That’s a lie. Nowadays, girls can kill a ghost with a glass bottle.”

Qiu Wuji mused, “I actually want to see how they pretend to be ghosts.”

Chu Ge said, “I think we should forget about it. I’m afraid we’ll have to compensate them for their losses.”

Qiu Wuji replied, “Do you think I have no sense of measure?”

…

In the haunted house.

“Bang!”

Chu Ge watched as the person pretending to be a ghost was slapped to the ground by Qiu Wuji, covering his face.

“Um…” Qiu Wuji stuttered, “Aren’t they supposed to be fake? Why would there be a real person rushing at us…”

I sensed the aura of a real person approaching! What if someone was plotting against us! Chu Ge, you have to believe me…

The staff member on the ground was both angry and anxious. “We strive for authenticity nowadays. Otherwise, who would play!”

“Well…” Qiu Wuji said awkwardly, “Don’t you often get hit like this?”

The staff member covered half of his numb face. “When others see a ghost, the first thing they do is hide behind their boyfriend. In all my years of playing the ghost, I’ve never seen anyone dare to slap the ghost in the face! Not even the guys!”

Chu Ge continuously apologized, “Sorry, sorry, my girlfriend is a bit violent.”

Is that just a bit violent? The staff member covered his face, not feeling much pain, but instead, he scrutinized Chu Ge’s face with deep sympathy.

This young man must have a tough time at home, he probably has to kneel on durian to read a book.

Blushing, Chu Ge pulled away the equally blushing Qiu Wuji, and the two quickly entered another passage, far away from the expert acting as a ghost.

“I didn’t mean it,” Qiu Wuji forgot that she was still holding his hand and explained weakly.

“Um… yeah,” Chu Ge glanced at the hand he was holding, feeling strange.

Others achieved their goal by scaring ghosts, but he accidentally achieved it when his date beat up a ghost. It didn’t feel right no matter how he thought about it… But never mind, as long as the goal was achieved, he would give the ghost actor a red envelope as compensation later…

“Roar!” Another evil ghost pounced, apparently not receiving the warning from their colleague.

Chu Ge dared not let Qiu Wuji intervene again. He immediately pulled her into his arms, turned around, and shielded her with his back from the approaching evil ghost.

Qiu Wuji’s forehead touched his chest, but her heart was slightly moved. There was an indescribable feeling resonating and spreading within her.

She knew very well that the ghosts were fake.

She knew very well that even if they were real ghosts, she could easily turn them into ashes with a wave of her hand.

But the feeling of someone protecting you in their embrace, using their back to shield you from danger…

Had she never experienced it in the ten thousand years?

Chu Ge held her in his arms, and seeing her lack of response, he didn’t know what she was thinking. He nervously let go and said, “Well… I’m afraid you couldn’t resist and they would demand medical expenses…”

All the ambiance and experience were completely destroyed.

“I’ll make you pay for your medical expenses, Chu Ge!” Qiu Wuji fiercely stomped on his foot and ran away with big strides.

“?” Chu Ge hopped outside, limping while holding his foot. “Hey, wait for me…”

What’s going on here?

A genuine single man for 28 years.
