Capítulo 56: Let's do our best not to end up in a tent
"Do you want to be my partner?"
"Ah? O-of course!" Feng Qiao said in a stutter.
Feng Qiao wanted to smack himself in the head, he actually thought of other things because of Zhao Lin's question ah! He knew that Zhao Lin asked him that with no other hidden meanings.
Zhao Lin smiled, "Good, let's do our best not to end up in a tent okay?"
Feng Qiao was amused by this statement as he let out a small laugh, "Yeah, let's do our best not to end up in a tent."
"Do we all have a partner?" Xiao Yu asked.
Seeing that they all nodded, Xiao Yu continued, "Okay we'll all pick our starting point. The main key here is to find the signboards indicating the directions quickly than the others, that way, you'll be able to find your way quickly and arrive much earlier. Ready your flashlights and let's stand on our starting position."
Five pairs picked their respective positions and stood side by side with their partners. They also readied their flashlights on their phones.
"You're really sure that there's no other way?" Wang Shu asked for the last time.
"Nope." Xiao Yu answered him, shattering his last bit of hope.
Wang Shu gulped while looking at this dark and creepy forest in front of him. Does he really have to cross this?
Seeing Wang Shu's distressed expression, Shao Wei who was beside him whispered in his ears, "Don't worry, nothing bad will happen."
"I am not worried okay? I am not afraid. Ha, just this little thing? I can definitely do it." Wang Shu acted toughly. He couldn't let others know his fear okay!
A smile formed on Shao Wei's lips, "Yeah, You can definitely do it."
"It's good that you know that." Wang Shu said.
On the other hand, Zhao Lin turned to Feng Qiao beside him, "You ready?"
"Yes! Let's do this!" Feng Qiao said as he made a 'fighting!' pose with his both hands.
Zhao Lin chuckled as he ruffled Feng Qiao's hair. This Junior of his is really too cute.
"Are you guys readyyy?!" Xiao Yu shouted.
"Yeahhhh!!"
"On the count of 3! — 1! 2! 3! GO!!!"
After Xiao Yu's signal, all of them sprinted inside the forest in different directions.
"Careful, let's not run, we might get into an accident." Zhao Lin said as he slowed down his pace. He thought that they could run in the forest but that proved to be difficult. The ground was not even and they could not see properly due to the darkness.
Feng Qiao agreed and matched his pace with Zhao Lin. His face was calm as he was looking all around to find some signs.
After a couple of minutes of walking, Zhao Lin looked at Feng Qiao, bewildered at his calm countenance, he thought that Feng Qiao looked like someone who was afraid of the dark or ghosts, however, that turned out to be not the case since Feng Qiao was calm all throughout their journey in the forest.
"You're not afraid?" he asked.
"Afraid? Why would I be afraid?" Feng Qiao asked back. He was genuinely confused at Zhao Lin's question. It's just a forest ah, why would he be afraid?
"Because it was dark and this forest is rumored to be haunted."
"Ah, " Feng Qiao had a look of realization. "Actually, even though I don't look like it, but I love darkness and forests, it makes me feel relax. As for ghosts, I am more fearful of those humans alive than those who are dead. "
Zhao Lin was surprised at Feng Qiao's deep words, he looked at him as he remembered the terrible things Feng Qiao experienced on the hands of a fellow human being, he couldn't help but lamented, "Hmm, Don't be afraid of the dead, be afraid to those who were alive. Indeed, humans could be crueler than any ghost could ever be."
Sensing the sad and gloomy tone on Zhao Lin's voice, Feng Qiao tried to lighten up the mood, he smiled widely, "That's why this forest is just a piece of cake! We'll surely win take the first place!"
Seeing his bright smile, Zhao Lin couldn't help but smile back, "Of course, we'll win for sure and won't end up in a tent."
Feng Qiao agreed then they proceed to look for the direction. Both of them walked for a while but they can't still find any signs, added that the flashlight on their phones could only cover a small area, it makes their search more difficult.
Feng Qiao furrowed his brows, "Are we lost? Were walking for a long time but we can't still fin— ah!"
Before Feng Qiao could finish his sentence, he tripped on a hard object and was about to fall down.
Feng Qiao closed his eyes and readied himself to fall down face first however, what he felt was not a hard floor but strong yet gentle arms warped around him.
Feng Qiao was smaller than Zhao Lin, his head could only reach his chin.
"Are you okay?" Zhao Lin asked this cat in his arms. With Feng Qiao's hair near his face, he could clearly take a whiff of that addicting sweet smell.
Feng Qiao looked up at Zhao Lin.
At that time, despite the dark surroundings, he could still clearly see that dark hazel staring right through him.
Feng Qiao's heart skipped a beat.
