Chapter 144 Shh! Just follow the "rules" (20)
Qi Xia, who never expected Mo Qiu to pull this stunt, stared at the bear-like figure thrust in front of her face.
For a moment, they were stunned and forgot to cry.
Mo Qiu didn't expect that even after two or three days, he still wouldn't be able to get used to this thick mascot costume.
Even on the face of the fake brown bear, one could almost see a hint of embarrassment.
Qi Xia suddenly felt much more relaxed.
Remembering his initial mission, Mo Qiu forced himself to say, "Princess Qi Xia, if you stop crying, I'll let you go, okay?"
Qi Xia nodded on the bear paw.
Even through the thick cotton, Mo Qiu felt as if he could inexplicably feel the smooth, tender cheeks rubbing against his palm.
He immediately let go.
He coughed lightly and said, "Since you've stopped crying, then get some rest. I'll go first..."
Just as she stood up and before she could even lift her leg, Qi Xia grabbed her tail.
Turning his head, he saw Qi Xia supporting herself on the bed with one hand, leaning over and reaching out to grab his tail.
Mo Qiu was in a dilemma again.
"Princess Qi... Princess Qixia, is there anything else?" Mo Qiu swallowed hard and asked.
"From now on, just call me Qi Xia. Calling me 'princess' sounds weird." Qi Xia pinched the soft, round tail of the little bear and said seriously, "Also, you didn't answer me. Why didn't you take off your wig?"
Mo Qiu was surprised that she still had these thoughts in mind, and was in a dilemma for a moment.
He thought for a long time before sitting down again.
He hesitated before speaking, "Qi Xia, do you know why Brother Wu'an took us in?"
Qi Xia, who had just shrunk back into her seat, paused for a moment, then began to ponder.
But Mo Qiu didn't keep them in suspense any longer, and quickly answered his own question: "Because we are human."
In a sense, it was the answer we expected.
Mo Qiu continued, "Humans should help each other."
"Humans should help each other." Qi Xia repeated this sentence unconsciously.
Mo Qiu ignored Qi Xia's reaction and continued, "Qi Xia, you might still have a chance to go back, as long as you're determined enough. Are you sure you want to see what's under my hood?"
In an instant, Qi Xia knew that her worst-case scenario had come true.
But: "While I was crying just now, I already figured out what I wanted to do next. Don't try to comfort me, I can't go back, but Brother Wu'an saved us not just because we are still human, right?"
"Precisely because humans help each other, shouldn't we do our best to help even more humans?"
As Qi Xia spoke, she reached out and removed Mo Qiu's hood, and Mo Qiu did not resist.
Even in the dim light, Mo Qiu's unusual complexion was clearly visible.
It was a clown makeup look.
As expected... but seeing it with my own eyes still makes me very sad.
Mo Qiu reached out a paw and touched his nose, saying, "That's how it is. In short, once this grows out, everything can never go back to the way it was."
Qi Xia nodded, then suddenly felt a chill run through her body.
Mo Qiu quickly put on the hood and looked at Qi Xia, who was gradually calming down, and sighed, "You're lucky. You changed into the new work clothes after you changed into the old ones. Surprisingly, it was useful."
"Is it a rule?" Qi Xia asked softly.
“Yes, and it seems to be a rule that hasn’t been discovered yet,” Mo Qiu replied, unconsciously lowering his voice.
Qi Xia chuckled: "Looks like we're on the same page, hence the note in the carousel area..."
Mo Qiu nodded, but his words did not directly answer the question: "That's why I said we're very similar."
Qi Xia's smile was somewhat bitter, and she sighed, "So I can see my future too?"
Mo Qiu shook his head: "No, as I said, you are much smarter than me, and at least right now your situation is much, much better than mine."
Qi Xia didn't deny it, but she wasn't sure either. After all, Mo Qiu had been at the amusement park much longer than her, and if that time were combined with her own, she really couldn't say that her situation was any better than his.
Mo Qiu pulled a notepad from his belly pocket and said to Qi Xia, "If I feel like I'm going to die someday, I'll hide in this room."
“When that time comes, if I feel I can delve deeper into the truth, I will take over the task,” Qi Xia replied naturally.
Mo Qiu seemed to smile as he put away the note, echoing her: "So the most important thing for you now is to recover well. Once you're sure you can take the next step, go check the notices inside the haunted house, and remember to leave around four o'clock in the afternoon."
After saying that, Mo Qiu got up to leave.
This time, without Qi Xia's obstruction, he left the room very easily.
Unexpectedly, Wu An was standing at the door of the room.
Mo Qiu smiled, closed the door, and joked, "If you're so worried, why don't you go in and check?"
Wu An punched Mo Qiu on the head. It looked like a lot of force, but it didn't hurt at all.
It seems that my physical strength is indeed increasing.
Or rather... the senses are becoming numb.
Mo Qiu pretended to rub his head and chuckled, "I was wrong, I was wrong. Let's go, let her have some peace and quiet by herself."
As she spoke, she jumped up, grabbed the puppy doll that was half a head taller than her, and walked out of the haunted house.
Wu An was bent over by Mo Qiu's movements, but he didn't get angry even though he walked with a hunched back. He even walked out in this posture.
She seems to be in a pretty good mood.
That's how it was.
But after leaving the haunted house, the two stopped in their tracks upon seeing the withered, lifeless ghosts scattered all over the ground.
I stood there for quite a while.
Wu An silently removed Mo Qiu's arm from his shoulder and straightened up.
Mu Ran said, "Looks like we've been pretty reckless today. Let's go and figure out how to get a ticket stub."
As if remembering something, Mo Qiu's tone was somewhat sorrowful: "Is this the only way?"
"Relax, don't overthink it. We've just set up a platform for the toys to compete," Wu An reassured them. "This is the price we pay for breaking the rules, and we have to abide by them."
Mo Qiu tightened the bear headgear on his head and said in an indistinct voice, "Yes, we are just following the rules, and we must follow the rules."
-
As Yi watched the two leave, she happily released the ghost from her grasp and followed them to watch her favorite "bumper car race".
No, that's not right.
Yi Yi shook her head and thought about it carefully.
It seems that Qi Xia is still wavering on different paths.
Oh dear, it's a pity that the male leads also have important roles in the plot, and their interactions are necessary.
Otherwise, we'll find a way to prevent them from meeting!
Will Qi Xia end up on the Wu'an route? Or perhaps on Mo Qiu's bad ending route?
Waaaaah, no! My dear daughter, you're destined for a career-driven woman!
Thinking this, Yi Yi had already floated to the bumper car stadium sign, to her favorite spectator spot.
Watching the clown with his ticket stub walk into the bumper car arena, Yi Yi sat down on the signboard and comfortably started to slack off.
There's no point in agonizing over it, let me have some fun first!
