Chapter 79: The Future (5)
In the middle of summer, the playground is bustling with children, children are having fun on the merry-go-round, roller coasters are screaming excitedly, and staff in puppet costumes are performing everywhere.
It's so lively everywhere.
Zhou Luo hasn't been to the playground with Bai Luofan for some years, maybe he has just been on vacation, and he is in a very good mood and has an excellent appetite.
"Marshmallow in the shape of a rabbit! I want to! ”
"Octopus balls, don't miss it!"
"Ice cream bear, here's one!"
"Hey, that ice cream is charcoal-flavored, I haven't eaten it, try it." Zhou Luo pointed to the ice cream stall, his eyes shining.
After a circle, Zhou Luo's hands were full of all kinds of snacks, but he still couldn't walk as soon as he saw the stall.
The boss made two black ice creams and handed them over. Zhou Luo took it and handed one of them to Bai Luofan.
She licked it and commented, "Not bad." ”
"After eating this ice cream, let's go take a bumper car!" She looked at the bumper car area not far away.
Bai Luofan: "Yes." ”
Zhou Luo concentrated on nibbling on the ice cream in his hand, and pulled 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 went out.
"And where else can I play?"
The staff pointed to the haunted house not far away: "That's still functioning." ”
Zhou Luo didn't say a word, and was about to go to the haunted house with Bai Luofan, but he dragged him back.
"What's the matter, I haven't been to this haunted house yet, the flyer says it's the scariest theme, I want to see how scary it is!"
Zhou Luo is a heavy lover of haunted houses, and she has basically played around the local haunted houses, this is a new one, of course she can't miss it.
Bai Luofan looked at the time, looked up and said, "I look like it's almost dinner time, why don't we go and eat with my parents?" ”
Zhou Luo still wanted to go to the haunted house, she looked at the haunted house, looked at him again, and hesitated: "This should be able to come out in a while, go first, come out and then go to dinner." ”
He pulled her away, and said as he went, "Let's go, let's go, I'm hungry." ”
Zhou Luozheng was strange, and suddenly a thought flashed through her, and her heart moved.
Although she couldn't see his expression, she probably knew why he was so hungry on time.
The more she thought about it, the more funny she felt, and she couldn't help it, and laughed out loud.
Bai Luofan's face was a little weird, he stopped, and his face was calm: "You can laugh a little quieter, thank you." ”
She laughed even louder.
"I didn't expect it, you're actually afraid of haunted houses, you can't see it." Zhou Luo looked at him a little awkward, restrained his smile a little, and comforted, "It's okay, I'm also afraid, what's the point of not being afraid of going to a haunted house, it's a heartbeat to play!" ”
The boy glanced at her: "I'm afraid and I have to play, do you have any masochistic tendencies?" ”
Zhou Luo seemed to think seriously about his question, and said slowly: "Anyway, after coming out of it, I was scared into a cold sweat, which is very exciting." Have you been inside? ”
"Nope." He replied in no uncertain terms.
"Do you want to go once?" She smirked.
Bai Luofan hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Do you really want to go?" ”
Zhou Luo nodded solemnly.
The boy let out a slow breath.
"Okay then...... Accompany you once. ”
"Yes, yes! Then let's go now! ”
Zhou Luo cheered all the way and pulled him towards the haunted house.
Bai Luofan thought it would be terrifying, but he didn't expect to see those NPCs playing all kinds of ghosts after he went in, and his heart was not turbulent, which looked fake.
On the contrary, Zhou Luo was so frightened that he screamed frequently, and pulled his clothes and didn't let go.
"You didn't have to come, why are you scared like this?" Bai Luofan said helplessly to Zhou Luo, who was shrinking behind him.
"What's the point of not being afraid to come to the haunted house, it's just ...... Heartbeat! ”
Zhou Luo's spirit was highly tense, his face was pale, and even his voice trembled.
This newly opened haunted house is really free of false publicity, it's really scary!
This setting, this atmosphere......
She took a few steps forward, and a long-tongued ghost suddenly came to her from the side, his tongue so long that it hung directly to the ground, his face was white, his eyes were bleeding, and one of his eyeballs popped out.
She closed her eyes and screamed, grabbing the young man's clothes behind his back.
Bai Luofan was embarrassed: "I thought you had a lot of courage, you dare to love you and love to play." ”
Zhou Luo was scared and didn't forget to retort: "Then you didn't come in just now, don't laugh at me!" ”
"Can you tug at my clothes?"
"Why?"
"Because you're about to rip it off......"
Zhou Luo paused, looked up, and saw that his school uniform jacket had been pulled to her shoulders, and in order to prevent it from being ripped off by her, he clutched his neckline.
It's a bit like a chaste martyr who would rather die than obey......
Zhou Luo thought out of place.
She let go.
The boy turned to face her, reluctantly took her hand, and walked forward.
The girl's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat, and she followed him in a daze, forgetting even her fears.
"You're not allowed to come to the haunted house with other boys in the future." His voice came from ahead.
Zhou Luo subconsciously blurted out: "Why? ”
"Because—"
He paused, turned the flashlight in his hand to the side, and shone the face of a little ghost with a bloody face even more terrifying, the little ghost seemed to have some kind of command, and floated towards her at a very fast speed, Zhou Luo was suddenly frightened unsuspectingly, and there was a scream that was enough to break through the eardrum, grabbed him, and said with a crying voice: "Don't play, let's go out." ”
He shook his head with a smirk, turning the light of the flashlight forward. Zhou Luo let go of him, but still shrank behind him.
In the dark, she heard Bai Luofan's voice in a low voice with a suspicious pleasure: "Why didn't I find it before, the haunted house is actually quite interesting." ”
"......" Is there really anyone in the world who would use the word "interesting" to describe a haunted house?

Meng Xiangting sat in the co-pilot, quietly looking at her mother who was driving, her face still did not ease at all.
returned home with a cold face, and after a long time, Meng's mother was willing to say a word to her.
"Tell me, why did your grades drop?"
Meng Mu sat on the sofa and seemed very tired after saying this.
Meng Xiangting bit her lower lip and stared at the floor.
"Why don't you speak? How did you promise me when you said you wanted to study literature? Meng Mu's voice was as cold as the winter wind, rushing towards her in one fell swoop, and she shivered a little cold.
At the beginning, Meng's mother did not agree with her to study literature, but she repeatedly promised that she could maintain the level of the top three in her grade after studying literature and would definitely be admitted to a key university, so her family relented and agreed to her to study literature.
This time, however, she slipped out of the top three.
"It's just right, next semester, I think you'll go to school, and you still have time to study in the evening. Don't be idle during the holidays, Mom will register you for a class, and you can tutor. If you don't have talent and don't work hard, how can you catch up with others? ”
Meng Xiangting nodded silently, "Got it." ”
"Okay, let's go back to your room."
Meng Xiangting returned to her room and closed the door gently. Soon after that, her mother's voice came from outside the door, and she was contacting the tutoring agency to ask for the details of tutoring.
Meng Xiangting in the room fell on the bed and closed her eyes silently, 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 long as her grades are mentioned, it will be like a different person.
One of her mother's most common sayings was, "Don't do anything useless." ”
She didn't understand at that time, what kind of things are useless?
Her mother told her that things that don't see the future are useless.
Later, she gave up her favorite guzheng, because her mother said that playing the guzheng could not add points to her, and it could not be turned into a tool to make a living in the future, which was useless.
At this time, Lin Ting's voice suddenly appeared in her ears.
"What if I can prove that we have a future?"
She didn't say she believed it, nor did she say she didn't believe it, so she excused herself too cold and fled the scene in a hurry.
She closed her eyes.
She didn't know if Lin listened to this matter if it was useless. He could like her desperately, but she couldn't drag him so indistinctly.
She got out of bed and took her phone out of the drawer and turned it on.
The phone reacted for a while, and the WeChat icon showed an unread message.
Lin Ting: [You are already great, don't doubt yourself. 】
She opened the dialog box and typed a line. Watching the cursor flash in the input box, she didn't press the send button for a long time.
That message was sent ten minutes ago, probably without waiting for her reply, he sent another one.
Lin Ting: [Are you home? Your mom didn't say anything about you, did she? 】
Meng Xiangting closed her eyes with difficulty, her heart was crossed, and she sent the message in the input box.
[Count me begging you, don't like me anymore, okay? 】
The note that Lin listened to above changed to "The other party is typing......", which lasted for a while and changed back to the note, and after a few seconds, it became "The other party is typing......
After five or six changes, he didn't send anything again.
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 screen automatically turned off, the light in her eyes disappeared in an instant.
The hand holding the phone drooped suddenly, and he did as she said, but why didn't she feel any more relaxed......
