Chapter 232: I Will Catch You

“This well is not deep. Be careful, I will catch you.”

Yun Qing gritted her teeth and decided to jump into the well in one go.

Although the well was not deep, it was still quite a way down. Huo Zhou rushed forward to catch Yun Qing in time and wrapped his arms around her. However, due to their unbalanced position, Yun Qing and he still fell to the ground together.

“Plop—plop—”

The sound of their heartbeats could be clearly heard. Yun Qing hurriedly got up from Huo Zhou’s body and said, “I’m—I’m sorry. You didn’t have to.”

“I was afraid that you’d get hurt.” Huo Zhou smiled slightly.

“Why don’t you let go of Yun Qing now!” Ye Zhi looked down from the well and saw the ambiguous scene. He was extremely angry and shouted at Huo Zhou. Then, he flipped over and jumped into the well.

Yun Qing looked at the jealous Ye Zhi helplessly. After being friends with Ye Zhi for so many years, Yun Qing only recently found out that Ye Zhi was a jealous man.

Just as Huo Zhou said, the key was indeed in the well. Not only that, but the well was also specially constructed. Huo Zhou soon found a mechanism and opened a secret passage.

“Is this really your first time playing in ‘Secret room’?” Yun Qing followed Huo Zhou in puzzlement.

Huo Zhou seemed to be very familiar with the game. Every time, he would be able to find the key clues without struggling for too long.

“Yes, it’s my first time playing it.” Huo Zhou smiled at Yun Qing. “However, I’ve always liked to take risks. Besides, I’m smarter than most.”

Well… Huo Zhou and Huo Chuan were indeed Huos. In terms of narcissism, the two of them were exactly the same.

However, Yun Qing had to admit that Huo Zhou was indeed smart. He had led them through the game all the way.

Ye Zhi was not willing to be defeated by Huo Zhou like this. However, he was already a scaredy-cat. If Yun Qing did not want to come and play, he would not have come at all.

Ye Zhi secretly made up his mind. When this was over, he would definitely catch up on horror movies. After that, he would play with Yun Qing. Then, he could stand boldly in front of her.

Through the efforts of the group, they finally came out of the game.

“Phew— that was quite scary. Yun Qing, you’re so awesome, nothing could scare you.”

Gu Zhi let out a long sigh of relief. Just now in the secret chamber, she, who had always been chattering, finally shut her mouth because she was too scared.

On the other hand, Yun Qing seemed to only get the occasional startle, such as when they encountered the female ghost in the well.

“It’s not that bad. Huo Zhou is still the best. Not only is he fearless, he even led us out.” Yun Qing could not help but look at Huo Zhou in a new light.

Who did not find intelligence attractive?

Huo Zhou scratched his head and said, “You flatter me! But I’m a little hungry. Do you want to have dinner together?”

Yun Qing looked at the time. It was indeed time for dinner. She nodded and agreed. “Okay, let’s do it. Since you brought us out of the secret room, it’s my treat today.”

Huo Zhou did not turn her down. Ye Zhi was a little unhappy, but he could only follow Yun Qing and the others to a Michelin restaurant.

Yun Qing loved to eat at this restaurant. Since Huo Zhou had just only returned, Yun Qing wanted to take him to experience the delicacies in China and order all her favorite dishes. Then, she asked Huo Zhou to order a few of his favorite dishes.

The four of them ordered and chatted enthusiastically.

Huo Zhou had traveled around the world. He told Yun Qing and the others about his experiences during his travels, vividly and vibrantly.

While they were chatting, Yun Qing felt a cold gaze fixed on her.

She looked up and saw Huo Chuan walking into the restaurant. He was staring at their table, his expression extremely ugly.

Huo Zhou followed Yun Qing’s gaze and turned his head. He was stunned for a moment before his usual smile blossomed on his face. “Brother Huo Chuan, what a coincidence.”

Huo Chuan shot a cold glance at Huo Zhou and strode over.

“Yun Qing, you and Huo Chuan are really destined to meet each other. Why do you always run into him?” Gu Zhi moved closer to Yun Qing and whispered.

Of course, Yun Qing wanted to know the reason too. When she saw Huo Chuan approaching her, Yun Qing felt like her head was about to explode.
