Amusement Park.
Haunted House.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman stood in this somewhat eerie place.
"Are you sure you want to go in?"
"Y-yes!"
Chu Youmeng instinctively hid behind Mu An.
Her eyes looking at the haunted house clearly showed a hint of fear.
[From Chu Youmeng, fearful emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +2000]!]
[From Chu Youmeng, anxious emotional fluctuation +17, congratulations, you have received the reward [Electronic Courage +666 (Invalid)]!]
[From Chu Youmeng, fearful emotional fluctuation +20, congratulations, you have received the reward [Invalid Spell (For Fun Only) - Monsters, please go away]!]
...
Mu An: "..."
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
The girl didn't look like she wanted to go in and explore at all!
Also, why did they have to go to a place that scared her?
Was it to enhance their relationship?
He didn't quite understand.
But he knew that the 'rewards' that came to him should be taken!
"Then let's go in!"
"If you're scared, you can hold my hand!"
Saying this, Mu An didn't wait for her to think much and took her delicate little hand.
Chu Youmeng was pulled forward like this, her beautiful eyes gazing at the back of the man in front of her.
A sweet smile, genuine and heartfelt, appeared at the corner of her mouth.
A heart that was racing out of fear suddenly calmed down.
One could say it seemed to be racing in a different sense...
[The girl feels at ease beside you; the fear of the haunted house seems to have faded significantly without her noticing. Emotional fluctuation +30, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +30]!]
After that, the two of them, under the privilege of the staff allowing them to skip the line, smoothly 'cut in' to enter the haunted house.
.....
It was hard to tell how long it had been.
The two finally walked out of the haunted house.
Chu Youmeng's little face was pale, her hands tightly gripping Mu An's arm, almost pressing herself into his embrace.
It seemed she hadn't yet recovered from the experience in the haunted house.
It was evident just how scared the girl had been!
Mu An, however, remained calm, quietly holding the girl's slender waist, showing no signs of being frightened at all.
And indeed, that was the case.
Someone with strength is just that confident!
Not to mention that the haunted house was filled with staff dressed as ghosts.
Even if real ghosts showed up, he was confident he could make them kneel and call him 'father'!
"We've come out of the haunted house; do you feel better now?"
Mu An asked gently, showing concern.
The staff in the haunted house had known of his arrival.
To help their young master win the heart of the beauty, each of them had done their utmost to scare people, especially focusing on the two of them!
This made the fear the girl felt increase by quite a bit!
Of course, the outcome was good.
Chu Youmeng almost cried from being scared.
She had been like a frightened little rabbit, tightly hiding in Mu An's embrace with her eyes closed, not daring to look at anything.
Afraid that some ghost would suddenly jump out from an unexpected place and scare her out of her wits!
Naturally, Mu An also received a massive amount of emotional rewards!
"I... feel much better!"
Chu Youmeng's pretty face flushed slightly, like a shy mimosa, as she gently lowered her gaze and bowed her head.
At that moment, she realized their posture was somewhat ambiguous.
As if thinking of something inappropriate, the girl's face turned bright red, feeling as if it could bleed!
[From the girl's shy emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Book: Always Making People Think of Embarrassing Things, Your Conscience is Greatly Damaged]!]
Mu An: ???
Seeing this inexplicable reward pop up, Mu An was left speechless.
Girls' thoughts are always so mysterious.
He couldn't figure it out.
But why did he feel like he was being... seen as a pervert?!
On a bench in the amusement park.
Mu An bought a bottle of water for Chu Youmeng to help her calm down.
The girl's full, glossy lips slightly parted as she took small sips of mineral water, her snow-white neck resembling that of a swan, and the rise and fall of her chest had calmed down quite a bit. He wondered if her frightened heart had also settled a little.
"Actually, I know I'm timid; I definitely wouldn't dare to come to the haunted house alone!"
Chu Youmeng stared at the water bottle she was holding, suddenly explaining in a low voice.
"But my younger sister really wanted to come to the haunted house in the amusement park!"
"Like me, she has lived in the countryside since childhood, and our family is quite poor, so we never had the chance to come."
"I was thinking that after I go to college in the city, I would have the opportunity to help her see it!"
"So, I told myself that no matter how scared I was, I had to help her take a good look and then go back to tell that girl..."
"Am I... am I being a bit self-centered?"
Chu Youmeng looked nervously at Mu An, her fingers gripping the water bottle turning slightly pale, seemingly worried that he would dislike her.
But she saw no trace of disdain in his eyes.
Instead, she saw nothing but love in his clear gaze!
At that moment, her heart was deeply touched.
The deep-seated sense of inferiority hidden in her heart gradually transformed into strands of sweetness!
"Silly girl, we don't need to be so restrained between us!"
"And in the future, I will definitely find a chance to take you and your sister to the amusement park!"
"No matter what happens, I will be by your side, don't worry! I am here, and I will always be here!"
Mu An tightly embraced the girl.
Chu Youmeng also wrapped her arms around his back.
The two fell into silence.
But their hearts had never been so close to each other.
Just like this, silence spoke louder than words!
'Grandma, I... seem to have met the right person!'
The girl silently thought in her heart, tightening her grip on him again.
[From Chu Youmeng's liking emotional fluctuation +100, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +100]!]
After that, the two seemed to gradually dissolve all the barriers between them.
Their conversation became much more natural and relaxed.
The girl also took the initiative to hold Mu An's big hand, her pretty face breaking into a brighter smile.
Unlike her usual quiet demeanor, today Chu Youmeng showed him a different treasure girl.
A girl full of youthful vitality and laughter!
Mu An seemed to be infected as well, feeling much more relaxed.
To be honest, it was the first time he felt like he was on a date with his first love!
That initial thrill was like a newborn baby looking at the world with pure eyes.
Every moment was precious!
He liked her.
And she just happened to like him too!
Perhaps this is the happiness they were both pursuing!
