Chapter 5 — Straight or curved, it's still with you

12 A low groan sounded right next to me. “…I'm sorry, I'll pay double the medical expenses and the mental damage. Please don't scare me anymore.” My voice trembled so much that I was almost about to cry. “Pss——” from behind came the sound of a staff member taking a cold breath, “Sister, your fighting power is truly formidable.” I opened my eyes in surprise and looked around in panic. Seeing me turn around, the employees simultaneously took a few steps back, including one person who turned on the emergency light switch on the wall. The pale yellow light reluctantly illuminated a small corner right in front of me. "There are favors and resentments. If you just kicked him, don't kick us again!" Er… so who was the person I just kicked? My heart was pounding, following the direction their hands pointed at—— “Sister, it's me.” In the weak light, the profile of Chu Nghien Tham's face was outlined. Half of his face was hidden in darkness, making it difficult to see his expression clearly. But I can see the hand falling to this side. Completely red. “So my sister is so powerful.” — low, suppressed laughter rang out in front of him. I quickly covered my face: "...Sorry, I'll take you to the hospital." Chu Nghien Tham moved closer, the distance between us immediately shortened. “Just a scratch, nothing to that extent.” There was a hint of laughter in his voice, his breath tickling my ear, like a feather gently sweeping across. His signature clean scent strongly enveloped me. "On the contrary, it's my sister, do you still dare to continue playing?" Hearing the sound of ghosts and wolves howling in front of me, my legs began to weaken. But remembering the promise I made to Hua Tu, I must "protect the price" for her love. I gritted my teeth and closed my eyes: "Play!" Chu Nghien Tham raised his eyebrows, seemingly surprised by my decision, the corner of his lips curled up into a faint smile: "Not afraid anymore?" “Not afraid.” — I tried to brace my neck, but my voice was a bit shaky. "Really?" — the tail of his voice was long, clearly teasing. "Real!" — I tried to raise my voice to hide my guilt. "OH." — he nodded, suddenly leaning close, almost right next to my ear, his warm breath blowing on my skin, his voice soft: "Then... I'm scared. Will you protect me, sister?" “I don't like to hear this sentence, take it back now.” My ears "whisked" once, burning hot. This little brother... really knows how to tease people! He laughed softly, his chest vibrating with the laughter. He didn't say anything more, just naturally reached out his hand: "So... would you mind my sister coming with me?" Before I could answer, in the next second, my hand was held tightly by him. Ten fingers interlaced. I stopped, feeling my heartbeat speed up again to the point of exploding. “My sister's hands are shaking.” — clearly knowing that I was blushing with embarrassment, he still deliberately teased, "Are you afraid of the dark, or afraid of me?" “Chu Nghien Tham!” — every time this fox unleashes his enchantment skills, I really can't resist, "Stop talking." "Okay." — he obediently agreed. Say no more. But he concentrated on playing with my hands. Stroking the back of the hand, scratching the palm of the hand, rubbing each finger, gently squeezing the tip of the finger... Little by little, the whole hand was "explored" by him all at once. 13 We passed through a narrow corridor, and suddenly there was the sound of dragging iron chains above our heads. That harsh sound was like a drill piercing straight into a nerve. I almost snuggled my whole body into his side, my arms glued tightly to his strong arms. Dark, My eyes completely lost their function. Only that tightly clenched hand is the only reassurance. Luckily... nothing happened. The hanging heart also temporarily relaxes. But suddenly, Chu Nghien Tham stopped. I didn't have time to react and crashed into his shoulder. “Shush…” — I held my nose, tears almost spilling out of my eyes. “Is it painful to touch?” — Chu Nghien Tham immediately turned around, put his warm hand on my shoulder and held it tightly, bowing his head and looking down. His voice is really easy to listen to, low, magnetic, and also carries a bit of comfort. But—— I stiffly looked up. I only saw an NPC whose whole body was glowing with a strange red light, his hair was hanging down, and he was using a horribly contorted posture, with both hands and feet crawling down from the ventilation slot on the ceiling! Its face was full of dark red blood, one eye was hanging out of its socket, the other eye socket was empty, staring at us! “——A A A A A A A A!!!” The scream I had been holding in for so long finally exploded, echoing throughout the closed room! In a state of extreme panic, I no longer remember anything about male and female rituals. One shot... carried Chu Nghien Tham on his shoulder, headed straight forward. 14 I'm really crazy. Chu Nghien Tham was shocked to death. His body immediately stiffened, letting out a short, surprised breath. Surely even in his dreams he would not have thought that one day he would be carried around his waist by his daughter and run away. Even though… it was less than five seconds. When I realized what I had just done, my legs were weak and the two of us almost fell down. Luckily, thanks to his strong waist, Chu Nghien Tham quickly turned around, hugged me tightly and rushed straight forward. Right in front, Hua Tu was so scared when he saw us coming that he rushed into his cold arms. She was still shouting: "Oh my god, behind you is the demon king, so loud..." From a distance, I could still clearly hear her "candy-pulling" voice. Sister, for your love, I risked my life to the fullest. After that, I was both scared and embarrassed, so I had to bury my face in the chest of the person right in front of me. Don't know how long it ran. With a "click" sound, a bright light shined in. At that moment, from the top of my head, a low, suppressed but trembling laugh rang out clearly from my chest. “Out… out?” — I asked in a choked voice, both confused and frightened. “The older sister was very powerful just now.” Chu Nghien Tham put me down on the soft mattress, still smiling. My face was hot, I no longer had any energy, so I weakly threatened: "You damn little brother, if you laugh anymore, I'll stop playing with you." But I underestimated this person's ability to "escalate". Hearing that, he froze for a moment, then his smile became even brighter. “So let's be boyfriend?” I was dumbfounded, looking at him blankly, for a long time before I could say: "What... did you say?" He bent down and looked straight into my eyes, his beautiful peach blossom eyes filled with laughter: "Sister, I've been aiming for your boyfriend position for a long time." So many emotions came over me that I was momentarily speechless. "Is that Okay?" — he quietly looked at me, his eyes so focused that it made people's hearts pound. Seeing him look at me like that, the heat that had just subsided on my face immediately flared up again, turning red. I quickly tilted my head, avoiding eye contact: "I... let me think more." "How long?" “Haven't... haven't thought of it yet.” “Then I'll pursue you… until you finish thinking.” His warm hand gently caressed the back of my neck, sending shivers down my spine. 15 On the 97th day since Chu Nghien Tham tried his best to pursue, I nodded and agreed to be with him. In the middle of a crowded intersection, he suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Sister, you are finally mine!" This scream caused all eyes around us to turn to us. Among them, there were also Grandma Chu and my grandmother. Grandma Chu pushed through the crowd and saw our tightly clasped fingers. She was silent for a moment, then suddenly pulled Chu Nghien Tham away, smiled so much that her eyes narrowed, her white teeth were exposed, then held my hand tightly: "Good child, I didn't expect you to be so powerful." Having said that, she immediately took off the jade bracelet from her hand and put it straight on my wrist. "It's just that, following this kid, you'll probably have to endure a lot of resentment." Faced with that sudden enthusiasm, I suddenly became confused. When the cool jade jade just touched my skin, Chu Nghien Tham suddenly grabbed my hand from behind. The finger with the thin callus gently caressed the wrist, the voice mixed with laughter fell right in the ear: "Grandma, you gave this engagement gift too early." "Go aside, I'm talking to my niece-in-law, it's not your turn to interrupt." Grandma Chu shook his hand away, then looked at me kindly: "Kha Kha, if this kid dares to bully you in the future, just find me and I'll break his leg!" My grandmother also stepped forward to stand next to me, her gentle eyes looked at me and Chu Nghien Tham, her mouth smiling brightly: "Really good, you really straightened a crooked boy." As soon as this sentence ended, I tilted my head to look at Chu Nghien Tham, skillfully touching his curved eyes, beaming with a smile. The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
