BXBX NOVEL Chapter 53 - 53: Scared
While Bai Lin and her group members were taking care of the meal preparation, the arguments went on in the comments section.
Fans from all sides were very aggressive and a chaotic battle began in the comments section. The popularity remained high on the primetime slot and ranked first.
The production team was not scared of the arguments. They were more afraid that the audience would be calm and not pay attention to the show.
When Bai Xi and the others finished their tasks, Bai Lin had also finished meal prepping. No matter what they felt, their hunger was real.
In addition to the dispute just now, Bai Xi was also a little tired, so she became more well-behaved and obediently followed to cook.
Despite that, she did petty tricks during the process, like secretly blocking the camera that was facing Bai Lin, or deliberately cutting her finger to act pitiful and not do anything.
Bai Lin just let them be. She would deal with them when she had time.
They had a sumptuous dinner. It was rare for the production team to be nice.
All the ingredients were fresh and abundant, and they even came with recipes.
Everyone was full and ready to rest when the light suddenly went out.
A sharp scream of a woman rang out from somewhere in the villa.
“Who is it?”
“A power outage? It’s easy to lose power in this place.”
“That’s not right. This is a rainforest. There are no electric cables. What was the villa using to generate electricity just now?”
“Someone’s crying.”
Yan Ruo’s voice was deep and calm, appearing even more mysterious and scary in the dark.
Zhou Guang was not afraid of ghosts. Although he rarely participated in variety shows, he knew the characteristics of one. His eyes flickered as he moved closer to Bai Lin, but there was already someone beside her.
It was Yan Ruo.
Zhou Guang took advantage of the darkness to rebut Yan Ruo and said in a hushed tone, “What’s wrong with you?”
Yan Ruo replied, “I’m scared.”
Zhou Guang was extremely disgusted and quickly stood on Bai Lin’s other side.
That b*stard would not even bat an eye if he were to kill someone. How could he be scared by a gimmick like this?
Zhou Guang held onto Bai Lin’s arm and said in a trembling voice, “Sis, did you hear that? I’m so scared.’
It was just acting pitiful. Everyone knew how to do it.
Zhou Guang provocatively glared at Yan Ruo, but the latter only smiled and did not say anything.
Bai Lin patted him and retracted her arm. She said coolly, “Ge, you’re someone who can scare the haunted house workers to tears. What are you afraid of?”
Zhou Guang saw Bai Lin looking at Yan Ruo with the moonlight from the window.
In the dark, Yan Ruo looked even more fragile. His long eyelashes trembled and his lips were tightly pressed together as if he was very nervous. His hands hung by his side, and the back of Bai Lin’s hand accidentally touched him. He was cold.
She naturally pulled Yan Ruo back, “Don’t be scared. I’ll protect you.”
Yan Ruo’s entire aura relaxed as he moved closer to her, saying in a low tone,
“Thank you.”
Zhou Guang was speechless. Damn it, he met a professional.
Lin Sen felt someone grab his hand in the dark. He frowned and wanted to shake it off, but Bai Xi said in a quivering voice, “Lin-ge…” She sounded like she was about to cry.
Lin Sen hesitated for a moment and let her hold onto him.
Bai Xi had her own plans.
Zhou Guang and Yan Ruo were too difficult to win over, and they followed Bai Lin’s every order. She needed time to think of a way. Lin Sen was someone she could win over now, so she would deal with him first.
In the current team, only Bai Shao and Zhao Yuan were her own people, which would be disadvantageous for her future performance.
If Jin Hang and Lu Zhi were still around, she would not have been in such a sorry state tonight.
In the dark, everyone looked either fearful or calm, but they were thinking of different things individually.
Bai Shao grabbed his hair in frustration. “What is this? It’s so annoying to not let us sleep in the middle of the night!”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone heard the crisp tick from their watches. There was a text message on it.
[This is a villa with a story.]
[It’s said that a family of three once lived here. They spent all their savings to build this villa in the forest, but what awaited them was not a happy life.] [Mom killed her son and husband with an axe and hid their bodies in the basement.]
[Shortly after that, she put on a red dress and ended her life with a knife.]
[Her soul is still wandering around the villa, and she’s possessed one of you just now.]
The eerie old residence, the gory story, and the dark environment stimulated everyone’s nerves.
The timid Jin Ran could not help but rush into Bai Lin’s arms and cry, “What should I do, jiejie? I’m so scared.”
Bai Lin hugged her tightly to comfort her. “It’s okay. I think there’s a new mission.”
Yan Ruo’s hand was released because of Jin Ran.
His gaze cooled down, which amused Zhou Guang. The latter slung his arm over his good friend’s shoulder and snickered, “You mustn’t have expected this huh? That you have to fight for a woman from another woman..”
