The stench of blood swept over us.

"what--"

"Help me—"

The final surprise attack came at the most relaxed moment, almost breaking everyone's morale.

"Om..."

Fortunately, the other door slowly opened.

Everyone rushed in that direction in a panic.

If they calmed down a bit, they would realize that these ghostly figures were running very slowly, simply trying to drive them away.

"Are you trying to get yourself killed! You scared me! Scared me! Scared me!"

At that moment, the girl's sudden roar drowned out her terrified screams.

Some people turned around in confusion and saw a red-haired girl move inexplicably, throwing the surrounding shadowy figures one by one, leaving them sprawled on the ground.

"Damn!"

"Yami Butterfly!"

"..."

The shadowy figures cried out for mercy.

"Uh…"

The tourists looked at each other in bewilderment.

"stop."

Chu Zihang quickly grabbed the enraged red-haired witch.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. No one will get hurt," Chen Motong snorted.

"Why are you so agitated?" Chu Zihang released her.

Chen Motong continued humming.

"Scared?" Chu Zihang said calmly.

Chen Motong turned her head away and gave him a clean backhand.

Everyone was pulled out of their fear by the commotion, and when they saw the staff who had been frightened in return, they couldn't help but laugh and cry, and then they all gave Chen Motong a thumbs up.

The crowd gradually left.

Chen Motong and Chu Zihang took a few steps, but found that Xia Mu and Erii had not followed.

The two turned around and saw Xia Mu with his hands raised in mid-air, looking helpless.

Erii was clinging to him, her face buried in his chest, not daring to lift it.

"Haunted houses are definitely the best date spots!"

Chen Motong put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Not only did I scare myself, but I also helped them get into physical contact. I must have been out of my mind to come up with this idea!"

No one responded to her.

She turned her head and saw Chu Zihang silently observing the two of them, his expression calm but seemingly gratified.

"Uh…"

This was the first time Xia Mutou had ever been held so tightly by a girl. The warmth and softness of her body against his skin, along with the smooth strands of hair beside his cheek, left him completely bewildered.

"I've heard that hugging between opposite sexes is a magical kind of contact. Unlike kissing, which can get boring after a while, couples with a good relationship will always enjoy hugging because it has something beyond lust: intimacy, extreme intimacy, and need," Chu Zihang said calmly.

Chen Motong rolled her eyes: "Are you a theoretical master? Others may not know, but I do. You don't have a girlfriend at the academy. Even Su Qian is just a close friend of yours."

Chu Zihang fell silent.

He never reciprocated the girl's affections.

Because he knew his fate and that he would never escape that rainy night, he never intended to implicate others.

"How long are you going to hug her? She's all gone!" Chen Motong waved his hand in front of Xia Mu, ruining the mood.

Xia Mu hesitated for a moment, then lowered his hand and gently patted Erii's shoulder, whispering in her ear, "It's alright, you can let go now."

Erii moved her head slightly, quietly lifting herself from his embrace. She opened one eye to look to the side before quickly closing it again. Only after confirming that nothing was wrong did she raise her head and open her eyes.

But she still held tightly to Xia Mu's waist, not daring to let go.

She cautiously observed her surroundings, like a groundhog that had just emerged from the ground.

"hehe…"

Xia Mu couldn't help but laugh out loud and reached out to pat her head.

They're so cute...

However, he was unaware that at that moment, the photo of "Xia Liyi embracing a Japanese singer" topped the trending search list on the other side.

The paparazzi are dedicated; even when they're scared, they don't forget their job.

The four of them finally emerged from the terrifying ancient tower and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the crowds of people coming and going again.

"Your country is really good at scaring people!"

Chen Motong couldn't help but complain.

Xia Mu wanted to say that this was not his country, but no one would believe him anyway.

Their activities became much more relaxed after that, and Chen Motong didn't insist on riding the roller coaster anymore.

Meanwhile, at Tokyo Airport, a plane had just landed, but several reporters in a corner of the airport swarmed around it like cats smelling fish.

"Miss Chen, are you here to take Miss Xia Liyi back to the country?"

"I heard that Xia Liyi fell in love here, is that true?"

"Photos of the two embracing have surfaced online, and the location appears to be Disneyland. Are they on a date?"

"..."

These reporters all spoke Mandarin, clearly indicating they were correspondents for Chinese media outlets stationed in Japan.

The woman, dressed in a black suit and wearing sunglasses, left without saying a word, escorted by her assistant.

But the reporters didn't give up and kept chasing after her, even following her nanny van.

"Sister Chen, Disneyland has three exits. Which one should we go to?" the assistant asked the woman in business attire.

“Our people split up and block every exit,” the woman replied coldly.

So, when Xia Mu and Erii had a great time, and Chu Zihang and Chen Motong had a great time accompanying them, the four of them were about to return to the hotel when they were blocked by a large group of people at the Disney exit.

First, a group of reporters swarmed around.

As the story continued to spread, the news that "Xia Liyi's management team surrounded her after she eloped with a man" had already spread throughout the entertainment industry in both countries.

Countless onlookers are waiting for the live stream.

Therefore, the journalists are not only from China; there is also a group of local journalists.

However, the group of reporters did not affect the professional female agent. She led a group of assistants and pushed through the crowd to stand in front of Natsuki and Erii.

"Rii, shouldn't we go home together?"

Manager Chen gracefully removed his sunglasses and gave Erii a gentle smile.

Erii, somewhat at a loss, hid behind Natsuki.

Her action immediately caught the attention of the reporters, who snapped photos in droves.

“She is Chen Ning, um…” Xia Mu scratched his forehead with his finger, “Your agent.”

"You're the one who called me that day."

Agent Chen looked at Xia Mu with a wary gaze: "I don't care how you brought Li Yi here, and I don't care who you are. We're taking her back now, and I hope you won't stop us."

Xia Mu shrugged, saying nonchalantly, "I didn't stop you from taking her away, but she has to be willing to go with you..."

He turned to look at Erii and asked softly, "Are you going with them?"

Chen Ning immediately turned her gaze back to Erii.

Everyone else was also watching this drama unfold.

Erii... hid completely behind Natsuki, shaking her head vigorously like a rattle-drum: "No."

Chen Ning: "..."

Chapter 43: Let Erii leave?

"Liyi, you're too naive, that's why you're easily fooled. Listen to Sister Chen, let's go back, okay?"

Chen Ning softened her tone, as if she were coaxing a child.

Because in her memory, this was always how she and Erii had always interacted.

A naive and innocent little girl with a powerful talent for composing, writing lyrics, and singing. Such an easily controlled star is every agent's dream.

"Only by my side can you receive the best protection..."

She spoke earnestly: "Your fans are all waiting for you to come back. Your disappearance these past few days has driven everyone crazy with worry."

In present-day China, Xia Liyi is a little angel to tens of millions of people…

"Ugh, this feels so out of place..."

Xia Mu couldn't stand it anymore, so he shook his head and rubbed his forehead, saying, "Don't bother, she only listens to me now."

He knew this agent too well; her style and approach to things were tailored to each individual.

Chen Ning's expression changed slightly, and she looked at Erii, only to see her nod, as if to say, "He's right."

She took a deep breath, glanced at the reporters waiting for the breaking news, and lowered her voice, saying, "Can we talk privately?"

"No."
