My older sister is a villainous rich girl.

Chapter 118 Circus Performance, Strange People

weekend.

The four people, dressed in casual clothes, met up on Central Street.

Chris wore a wide-brimmed sun hat, with a delicate beaded chain hanging next to a small flower tied with pink ribbon on the side.

On the other side, Molly was dressed in a light and casual outfit with a lively ponytail; while Eve was still wearing a white dress embroidered with lovely floral patterns.

Wayne was carrying Chris's backpack, his steps were unsteady, and the dark circles under his eyes were very obvious.

"Wayne, you look really tired."

Miss Eve, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was smiling at him.

"Good morning, Eve," Wayne greeted her. "Your dress looks beautiful today."

"Thank you," she said softly.

However, she then added softly with a worried expression, "But Wayne, you should take care of your health. You seem to be indulging in too much sex."

Wayne: ? ? ?

He shouted back, "I just have a little insomnia! It's not—"

Chris and Molly, who were walking ahead, both looked at them with strange eyes.

At the critical moment, Wayne took back the words he was about to utter.

Please, someone take this pervert away!

He groaned inwardly.

For some reason, I've been dreaming about Miss Ge Li every night lately.

In his dream, she held a wood-chopping knife in her hand and asked him fiercely: Do you want to die or live?

Thinking of that terrifying dream, Wayne couldn't help but shiver in the bright summer sun.

However, apart from him, all the other girls here were very happy.

"Today!" Chris said, extending her hand. "Our destination is the circus!"

"Yay!" Molly pumped her fist in agreement.

Chris pulled several flyers out of her pocket, seemingly having prepared in advance.

"This circus is quite famous throughout the Western Continent. It's said that their performance skills are outstanding, and I've wanted to see it for a long time," she introduced.

"They just returned home three days ago after completing a tour of the Kingdom of Stuart. They will stay in the capital for two weeks before visiting the surrounding provinces."

Wayne took one of the cards and glanced at the promotional information on it.

His gaze lingered for a moment when he saw the words "from the Southwest region".

Wayne had seen quite a few different types of circus performances when he was a child in his previous life.

Acrobatic performances like monkeys riding unicycles, lions jumping through hoops of fire, and dolphins and sea lions balancing balloons or spraying water brought him a lot of joy back then.

However, as they grew up, they gradually gave up due to busy studies and work, and because society no longer encouraged animal performances.

Although the types of animals are slightly different, the circus in this world is not more diverse than in the previous life.

However, for locals who haven't had much exposure to these things, this performance should be a cherished memory for a long time to come.

"Ohhhhhh!" The audience roared excitedly, along with various whistles.

"Wow~ That's really amazing, to be able to train even those large, ferocious beasts to be so obedient." Eve raised her hands to her chest.

They clapped incessantly. "It was as if they could really talk to animals."

"Besides the show in the center of the venue, there are other attractions around. Let's try them one by one!" Chris suggested.

Rather than being interested in the performance itself, Chris seemed more passionate about simply "attending the fun."

Wayne glanced around at the noisy audience, moved closer to Chris, and whispered in her ear, "Don't stray too far from me later."

However, his face was quickly pushed away.

"I know, Wayne, when did you become even more nagging than Mom?" Chris said, completely unconcerned.

"I'm just concerned about you," he said with a displeased expression.

"Thank you for your concern! I'll treat you to ice cream later~"

Seeing that her attention was completely focused on looking forward to other projects, Wayne's heart softened.

Chris is still just a little girl.

Let her have some fun.

This circus seems perfectly normal.

However, a strange feeling lingered around him, making him uneasy.

Wayne, who was sitting in the second row in front, suddenly turned around.

They made eye contact with a man who looked to be about forty years old standing by the exit.

Wayne frowned deeply, staring blankly at the empty curtain swaying back and forth.

"Wayne! Snap out of it, the show's over!" Chris put her hands on his shoulders, gesturing for him to get up and leave.

He realized what was happening, and his right hand slid down from Chris's soft, white forearm to take her hand.

"Hey!" Chris glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed, and tried to pull her hand away.

Wayne, however, gripped the reins even tighter.

"Something's not right here," he said seriously.

Chris was slightly taken aback, but she didn't struggle any further, though her expression was a little unnatural.

Wayne led her out of the performance tent; the outside was still noisy.

It was the weekend, and many children were out playing with their parents. The crowds were bustling and peaceful.

happy.

"Should we go to other projects now?" Chris looked at Wayne, seeking his opinion.

"Hey? Didn't we just agree to go?!" Molly said, unwilling to give up.

Looking at their expectant eyes, Wayne didn't know how to express his feelings.

Every minute he stayed here filled him with a sense of dread.

It was as if the invisible monster lurking in this place had opened its blood-red maw, and he and Chris were standing on the edge of those sharp teeth.

After a brief moment of hesitation, he decisively shook his head.

"Let's leave now, we can come out and play again next time."

Molly wanted to say something more, but Eve tugged at her and said, "Listen to Wayne."

The group reached a consensus and decided not to follow the crowd to other attractions, but instead headed towards the main exit.

At the entrance, Wayne saw the man who had been staring at him from the last row during the circus performance.

The man was wearing a name tag on his chest, so he looked like a staff member here.

He glanced at Wayne, then at Chris, whom he was holding hands with.

"Dear guests, wouldn't you like to stay and enjoy yourself a little longer? There's an even more exciting show to come!"

There was an eerie incongruity to his smile.

A sinister smile curled at the corner of Wayne's lips. "If this circus ever has the chance to return to the capital, I will come again."

The man's expression froze for a moment, then he laughed even more heartily, his emotions seeming much more genuine than before.
