Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Sickeningly Sweet Nothings

As they entered the last challenge, the two stopped chatting and became cautious.

Otherwise, who knew what sort of ghostly thing might suddenly pop out?

"Sister Lu?"

"Shh, it’s the last challenge now. Let’s be careful, just in case they pull something big."

"Mm-hmm, okay."

With a ding, all the lights went out, and it became pitch-black in an instant—the kind where you can’t see your own hand in front of your face.

The sudden darkness gave Lu Jing a start in her heart.

Just then, a ’creak, creak’ sounded, chilling to the bone.

Jiang Yuan was almost scared to tears:

"Wuu, Sister Lu, what’s that sound? It sounds like a ghost crying!"

Lu Jing calmed her mind:

"It must be a door or window making noise, creating an impression like something is crying."

It had to be said, Lu Jing’s explanation did relieve some of Jiang Yuan’s fear.

"Really?"

Lu Jing was just about to answer when a familiar voice rang out:

"How long are you two going to dawdle out there?"

Huh?

"Big brother?"

Of course, Jiang Yuan recognized her own big brother’s voice; she was just too shocked.

Lu Jing was still okay, aside from being slightly taken aback for a split second:

"How come you’re here?" she asked out loud.

It was pitch-black, and neither could see the other clearly.

But who was Jiang Ye?

Even if he couldn’t see clearly, he could still accurately grab hold of his woman.

Lu Jing didn’t resist, better to just surrender peacefully.

Of course, she didn’t forget her own flesh-and-blood sister, pulling one with each hand.

With Jiang Ye there, the last challenge was practically nothing.

Soon enough, the trio had completed the challenge.

That really shocked the staff in the surveillance room.

They’re not human, truly not human!

Then, the boss even gave Lu Jing and Jiang Yuan a little gift, hoping they would come again.

Lu Jing didn’t really want to come again, but Jiang Yuan seemed a bit eager.

...

Upon leaving the escape room club, Jiang Ye let go of his sister:

"Jiang Yuan, go buy two bottles of water."

Eh.

"Oh, okay, big brother, what do you want to drink?"

"Whatever."

"And for Sister Lu?"

"Plain water is fine."

Getting the answer, Jiang Yuan quickly ran off.

Lu Jing rolled her eyes at someone in annoyance:

"You’re supposed to be a big brother, how can you order your little sister around like that?"

Lu Yan would never; every time there was something to do, Lu Yan always did it himself, never letting herself or her cousin lift a finger.

Indeed, there’s quite a difference between big brothers.

"Well, who else was going to go?"

Who else could there be?

"You!"

Jiang Ye laughed:

"If I offered the water I bought, would Jiang Yuan dare to accept it?"

Cough, cough, that’s a problem.

"How did you end up here with her?"

Lu Jing, of course, wouldn’t carelessly speak of Jiang Yuan’s private matters:

"Young girls all like playing this stuff."

Jiang Ye didn’t doubt her, how could he doubt his own woman?

But...

"You’re a young girl too!"

Pfft!

Lu Jing really couldn’t help but laugh out loud:

"I’m almost thirty, how can I be a young girl?"

"Why not? No matter what, in my eyes, you’re always the young girl, even if you were eighty."

Cough, cough, cough.

This man must’ve had honey for breakfast, right?

Otherwise, why would every word out of his mouth be so romantically sweet?

Luckily, Jiang Yuan came back, carrying several bottles of water:

"Big brother, Sister Lu."

Lu Jing helped catch them, three bottles of plain water, and two boxes of ice cream.

The water was obviously one per person, and as for the ice cream, well, her big brother definitely wouldn’t be getting any.

"Sister Lu, do you like vanilla flavor?"
