283 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System

**Chapter 283: Worth Every Penny of 300 Bucks (Third Update)** Wang Zijin looked at her dazed husband and unknowingly pressed her lips together with satisfaction. At this moment, Wang Zijin felt extremely content; indeed, the haunted house was so much fun! However, noticing her husband still struggling to breathe, Wang Zijin thought that once he returns to school in September, she must make sure he exercises his lung capacity! Otherwise, if they ever ended up in the hospital and had to explain, it would truly be more embarrassing than anything else. Su Qi slowly came back to her senses from the embrace of her wife, Wang Zijin. Thinking back to the scene earlier, Su Qi's originally pale face from being scared in the haunted house blushed with a hint of red! Who could have imagined that her own wife, Wang Zijin, would act in such a manner in that situation? Su Qi felt it was inappropriate for the setting, but seeing the chainsaw man had gone far away, Su Qi breathed a huge sigh of relief. The young lady at the bar, observing through the surveillance and seeing the two girls under the bed unmoving for so long, hesitated for a moment, wondering if they had fainted. Just as she was about to send someone to check, she saw the two climbing out from under the bed! Seeing them safe and sound, the young lady at the bar also breathed a sigh of relief. She picked up the walkie-talkie beside her and said: "Get ready, Number Eight!" Su Qi, holding her wife's hand, Wang Zijin, pushed open the dusty wooden door to avoid being trapped again in this dead-end room. The door creaked open, and Su Qi cautiously peeked her small head outside. Seeing the corridor was empty, she finally relaxed. Leading her wife forward, Su Qi moved very slowly. Wang Zijin watched her husband, who was clearly terrified but still acted bravely to protect her, feeling warmth in her heart. She gently squeezed Su Qi’s hand in return! Su Qi, feeling the strength from her wife, assumed Wang Zijin was scared too, so she turned back to give a smile more twisted than a cry! If it wasn't for the terrifying environment, Wang Zijin might have burst out laughing! After moving through two rooms, they reached a fork in the road. Suddenly, the sound of a chainsaw echoed in the distance. Thankfully, it was still far from them, and Su Qi let out a breath of relief! Just then, Su Qi felt an itch on her cheek, as if something like hair brushed against it. Assuming it was her wife’s prank, she instinctively said: "Stop playing around, Zijin dear!" But the next moment, Su Qi felt something unusual; her wife was staring in horror directly above her! Seeing her wife's wide apricot eyes, Su Qi couldn't help but swallow nervously. Logically, her wife's hair couldn't be hanging from above her face! With courage, she slowly tilted her head up. What she saw was a 'madwoman' in a white shirt bizarrely clinging to the wall with her limbs. Her head was twisted in an unnaturally 180-degree angle, staring directly at Su Qi. It was her eerie hair that had been brushing against Su Qi's cheek! It was now tickling her face! Su Qi found herself meeting the madwoman's inverted gaze! A horror movie’s most terrifying moment is the ghost’s stare, equivalent to a reversed human gaze. Su Qi felt every hair on her body standing on end! Her previously rosy complexion paled again! At this moment, Su Qi truly wanted a refund. "Mom, I want to go home!" She grabbed Wang Zijin's hand and sprinted forward wildly. Discovering, in horror, the madwoman clinging to the wall, moving like a centipede with unscientific speed. Every time Su Qi reached a turn, she'd confront her again. Su Qi was genuinely terrified now; this was more like an alien than a haunted house! "Je-je-je!!!" As Su Qi had this thought, the madwoman shrieked again, and Su Qi felt as if her soul was about to be scared out of her. Glancing back at her wife, Su Qi saw Wang Zijin's face as pale as paper! Watching the madwoman getting closer and closer, now looking at them, Su Qi felt the creature's gaze was on her. Seeing a crossroads ahead, she released Wang Zijin's hand and said: "Wife, I'll distract her, you run!" Then she dashed to the side. Watching her husband lead the dangerous madwoman out of her sight, Wang Zijin felt a warmth in her chest, perhaps this was love! Little did Su Qi know her wife was feeling moved; she was on the verge of tears! Can you imagine a giant creature in a snow-white shirt crawling towards you with alarming speed and an eerie presence out of nowhere? Through close contact, Su Qi was 1000% sure—it moved backward! "Je-je-je, ha-ha—" By now, Su Qi had entirely forgotten this was just a haunted house, losing any initial composure, with only the madwoman's bizarre yet terrifying crawling in her mind. It left a deep shadow in her young heart. Her pace quickened as her fear peaked. The madwoman, Number Eight, found it extremely amusing to see the little girl so scared she lost her complexion. Actually, every time Number Eight appeared in front of Su Qi, she was guiding her! Because the chief at the bar had instructed to ensure the meeting of this little girl and her older sister! After running around in the twisted rooms for quite a while, when Su Qi's vision blurred, she finally saw a familiar figure! "Sister Wang Yun—" Hearing the call, Wang Yun instinctively opened her arms, making an okay gesture to Number Eight! Number Eight then kindly closed the door! Su Qi was genuinely terrified this time, rushing into Wang Yun’s embrace! Wang Yun felt Su Qi, resembling a frightened little cat, snuggling closer and closer, and mused, "Those 300 bucks were truly worth it!" "Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, elder sister has already shooed them away!" Wang Yun softly patted Su Qi’s back, realizing the little girl was genuinely scared stiff, even after two whole minutes, still trembling all over! However, Wang Yun quite enjoyed the little girl’s snuggling! After a while, Su Qi finally calmed down! To be honest, Wang Yun always gave Su Qi a feeling of being a big sister from the neighborhood, offering a sense of security no one else could. But having been comforted for so long, Su Qi felt embarrassed to continue lingering in her arms. Gently lifting her face from Wang Yun's embrace, Seeing the little girl with a blush finally regain composure! Wang Yun smiled and lightly nudged Su Qi’s small frame, placing her in her lap, saying: "Do you feel better now, little warmie?" Upon hearing this, Su Qi recalled diving into Sister Wang Yun’s chest, her face flushed with heat! Under dim light, in the simple room, Wang Yun couldn’t see the little girl’s flushed face, but from the slightly elevated temperature, she knew Su Qi was probably redder than an apple! It reminded Wang Yun of the scene the previous night. Holding the little girl’s head gently in place, Wang Yun said softly, "Shouldn’t you give your sister a small reward? I wouldn’t mind trying again!" Speaking playfully, Wang Yun lightly bit her lip. Hearing this, Su Qi felt her face burning like fire! She instinctively lowered her head but noticed her tears had dampened Sister Yun’s clothes earlier! Feeling embarrassed by her own actions, Su Qi gave a meek nod, succumbing to her emotions! Wang Yun, seeing the shy young girl in her arms nod bashfully, found her utterly adorable! Having strategically chosen this blind spot in the room where no camera could capture, Watching the little girl lower her head, eyes closed, waiting innocently for what was to come. Wang Yun couldn’t resist anymore, gently hugging the softness of the little girl, leading to... *A warm reminder: If you can't find the book by its title, try searching with the author's name.
