"So, junior, which challenge do you want to accept?"

48 About the School Festival (12)

"Challenge 1: If you have a friend with you, you can give them a kiss to complete the challenge."

Challenge Two: Shout out the following words in front of the stall: "Welcome home~ Would you like to take a shower first? Or eat first? Or perhaps eat me first?" That counts as a successful challenge.

Lin Yin could, of course, refuse the challenge, and then ten or so points would be deducted from her credits all at once.

"So, junior, which challenge do you want to accept? You'd better choose quickly, otherwise the people behind you will get impatient." The staff member urged with a smile. Lin Yin was stunned, looked at the slip of paper in her hand, and then looked at Leng Yihan.

In every respect, it's true that being intimate with Leng Yihan would be less shameful. First of all, the two are already boyfriend and girlfriend, so there's nothing wrong with doing such a thing. Secondly, the commotion would be smaller, and only people who are paying attention here would see it.

If Lin Yin were to shout out those shameful words in front of the stall, she might instantly become a celebrity throughout the school, one of the campus legends...

"I choose the first one." Since she had to choose, Lin Yin naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to choose Challenge Two, so she chose Challenge One, which was less embarrassing.

Ah, as expected, it was true, she's so good to me.

As Leng Yihan pondered this, something seemed to touch his face, but the sensation disappeared in an instant.

"Hey?"

"Alright, alright! Challenge complete! Participation prize!" After Leng Yihan came to her senses, she saw Lin Yin pretending to be calm as she asked the staff for the participation prize, but the blush on her face betrayed her true feelings.

"Okay, junior, here you go~" The staff member took out a small notebook and handed it to Lin Yin. This thing was probably only the size of a pocket. This was the participation prize.

After receiving the notebook, Lin Yin did not put it away immediately. Instead, she glared at Leng Yihan. Leng Yihan naturally knew what Lin Yin wanted him to do. Helplessly, he registered his class and name with the staff and then started rolling the dice.

The first one: six o'clock.

The second one: six o'clock.

The third one: six o'clock.

The fourth: six o'clock.

The fifth: six o'clock.

The sixth: six o'clock.

The seventh: six o'clock.

The eighth: six o'clock.

The ninth one: six o'clock.

The tenth: six o'clock.

People went from initially thinking, "This guy is lucky," to the fifth person marveling at Leng Yihan's good fortune, then gradually to the seventh person expressing disbelief, and finally to the tenth person being utterly dumbfounded.

"What about the reward?" Leng Yihan asked the staff member with 'delight', while Lin Yin clapped her hands happily. With Leng Yihan around, anything involving luck always became ridiculously absurd...

Ah, although I know this is inevitable, I still have to pretend, otherwise, if I calmly throw away ten sixes, people might suspect me of cheating... although in a sense, it does seem like cheating?

"Ah...ah, here you go." The staff member paused for a moment, then, after confirming that Leng Yihan had rolled ten sixes, took out a large bear plush toy that looked just like the exhibit from under the table at the booth.

Leng Yihan reached out and hugged the plush toy. After nodding her thanks to the staff, she quickly led Lin Yin away from the game booth. From every perspective, carrying such a large bear plush toy was very eye-catching. They hadn't been noticed just now, but if they had stayed out for a while longer, they might have been surrounded.

If they wanted to continue shopping, they had to deal with the teddy bear first, so the two decided to go back to the classroom to put the teddy bear down before continuing their shopping.

When the two returned to the classroom, only a few students who didn't want to participate in the school festival were resting and idly playing on their phones. (Yes, playing on phones is allowed during the school festival.)

Amidst everyone's curious stares, the two placed the doll on their desks and left the classroom again to head to the game stall. On the way, Leng Yihan realized how daunting it was to be in such a large school; the walk would take forever…

After returning to the game booth, the two looked around, searching for an interesting game. A few minutes later, they stopped in front of a shooting game booth. This booth was three times larger than the others, and the game was a rather old one... shooting balloons.

The main reason why Leng Yihan and Lin Yin stopped here was that Lin Yin saw the doll she wanted again, so the two of them joined the queue.

"Xiaoyin, I'll go first this time. You're a shooting expert," Leng Yihan said. Lin Yin naturally had no objections, and Leng Yihan went first at the booth this time.

Even for a rather boring game like shooting balloons, people couldn't resist the allure of firearms... (Actually, they just wanted to play with guns and shoot balloons at the same time). The queue lasted for half an hour before it was finally Leng Yihan's turn.

Leng Yihan glanced around and determined that the shooting position was about 25 meters away from the balloon. In the end, Leng Yihan spent 50 yuan to buy 100 bullets. If he was going to shoot, he would naturally shoot down the entire opposite wall, even though his long-range shooting ability was absolutely terrible...

The gun in her hand was probably a Kar98k or something similar. Leng Yihan raised the gun and didn't pay much attention to her shooting posture (after all, it was just a toy gun, not a real one). She aimed at the balloon in the distance with three points aligned.

Snapped!

The first shot hit, of course. With a hundred balloons so densely packed together, any shot would have hit them; if it had missed, it would have been a miracle.

Pull the pin, second shot.

The third shot.

The fourth shot.

The fifth shot.

……

On the fiftieth shot, Leng Yihan hadn't missed a single one. If all one hundred shots hit, it would be another giant doll, and they wouldn't have room to put it in their house...

When she fired her fifty-fifth shot, Leng Yihan exclaimed that it was too easy, and then fired the next shot.

After repeating this mechanical action a hundred times, Leng Yihan aimed at the last balloon 25 meters away and fired a shot.

Snapped!

Leng Yihan put down her gun, speechless at how easy the game was. Confident in her marksmanship and accuracy, she estimated she could shoot down a hundred balloons in less than ten minutes. Even if her marksmanship wasn't great, she could take them one by one and finish them in twenty minutes.

Leng Yihan spent nine minutes popping all one hundred balloons (including the time to reload), successfully getting another plush toy. After looking at them for a while, Leng Yihan chose a Kumamon plush pillow.

After seeing Leng Yihan succeed on her first try, Lin Yin also became very interested and fired a hundred shots. Of course, Leng Yihan paid for the hundred bullets.

Lin Yin's shooting talent was naturally good; she was faster than Leng Yihan and shot all one hundred balloons in five minutes. Instead of taking a large pillow, she took a small rabbit pillow.

The two returned with the plush toy again. The students in the classroom stared at them in disbelief when they saw them carrying a cushion back. After putting the cushion away, the two left the classroom again and headed to the game stall.

In an hour, the two only played two games, spending most of their time traveling back and forth and waiting in line.

After playing a few more games, it was already 10 o'clock. After playing the last game they wanted to play, Leng Yihan and Lin Yin left the stall and headed towards Building B, which housed classes 6 through 30 of the first year of high school.

"Yihan, is there anything to do?" Lin Yin asked Leng Yihan on the way there. Leng Yihan just smiled and didn't answer.

Miao Xingyin had told him that there would be a play in the screening room this afternoon, and that Class 6 of Grade 11 had borrowed an abandoned music classroom and transformed it into a haunted house...

"Yihan~ Tell me, what fun things are there to do?"

"Say it, say it."

"Are you going to tell me or not! If you don't, I'm getting angry!"

"Aren't you going to tell me?! If you don't tell me, I'm going to cry..."

"Sigh... women change their expressions faster than turning the pages of a book," Leng Yihan complained. In the end, she still told Lin Yin what they were going to do: "The group from Class 6 of the first year of high school borrowed the abandoned music classroom and turned it into a haunted house. Of course, we're going to test our courage and go into the haunted house."

Lin Yin's expression changed immediately upon hearing Leng Yihan's words, and she stopped in her tracks. "Yihan... let's... not go play, okay..." she whispered. Leng Yihan, of course, wouldn't let this girl off the hook. "Huh? Is that so... I just received a message from Leng Binglan saying she went to explore the haunted house and thought it was a lot of fun, and that those things weren't as scary as the level 30 Ghost Tomb in the Oracle." Leng Yihan's words essentially meant, Leng Binglan went through it, so are you admitting you're inferior to her?

Lin Yin heard that Leng Binglan had made it through. If a girl two years younger than her could pass, why couldn't she? Besides, it was just a haunted house... Oh well...

"...You look very pale. Let's give up." Leng Yihan saw that Lin Yin's face had become extremely pale and decided to give up as well. The game is one thing and reality is another. Just because Lin Yin is not afraid of demons and monsters in the game doesn't mean she's not afraid in reality, even if she knows that these things don't exist.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yin misunderstood his meaning and used it as a provocation. He grabbed Leng Yihan's clothes and dragged her towards Building B, saying, "If Leng Binglan can pass, I don't believe I can't! I was scared once today, so you can do whatever you want to me tonight!"

Seeing Lin Yin's serious expression, Leng Yihan helplessly led her to the haunted house that had been converted from a music classroom.

The music classroom was on the first floor. From afar, the two saw a long line of people waiting to enter the haunted house. Leng Yihan couldn't understand why so many people would come to the haunted house. Shouldn't they be scared?

Above the entrance to the haunted house were written "Midnight Carnival!" and "Challenge your limits of courage! Guaranteed to make you scream!" Leng Yihan looked at Lin Yin again, only to find that her face was still so pale.

"Xiaoyin... if you're scared, don't be stubborn. It hurts me to see you like this."

"..." Lin Yin didn't speak, but pulled Leng Yihan to the end of the line. It seemed that they had to try this haunted house this time. Leng Yihan looked at Lin Yin with concern. The usual redness on her face had disappeared, leaving only a pale face, and it had been like this for a long time. He was worried that if this continued, something bad would really happen.

Leng Yihan looked at Lin Yin, hardened her heart, picked Lin Yin up and carried her away from the line: "Leng Yihan, what are you doing!" Lin Yin tried to struggle at first, but stopped when she saw Leng Yihan's extremely serious expression.

"Look at your own condition now, okay?" After putting Lin Yin down, Leng Yihan took out her phone, opened the camera, switched to selfie mode, and pointed the phone at Lin Yin.

Lin Yin's face on the phone was so pale it was unnatural. Although Leng Yihan didn't know why Lin Yin was so scared, she knew that something bad was bound to happen if she went inside. This was the protagonist's intuition!

Lin Yin looked at herself on the screen without saying a word, simply standing there silently.

After putting away her phone, Leng Yihan figured she couldn't drag Lin Yin away, so she simply picked her up in a princess carry and carried her to a nearby bench to sit down and rest.

Is this guy an idiot? Why is he so concerned about whether he can get through that haunted house? His health is the most important thing...

Thinking about this, Leng Yihan began to regret why she had brought up the haunted house before. She was really a... hopeless idiot. Lin Yin was clearly very scared, but she still had to bring it up.

Or perhaps I simply don't understand her at all; I didn't even know she was so afraid of ghosts. I've wasted the last ten years of knowing her...

Thinking this, Leng Yihan felt guilty. If she traced the source, it was undoubtedly Leng Yihan's fault. She carefully placed Lin Yin on the stool. Lin Yin looked like a porcelain doll that would shatter at the slightest impact. The more Leng Yihan looked at her, the more anxious she became.

Leng Yihan quickly took several deep breaths to calm her agitated mind and then made a phone call to Miao Xingyin.

"Hello... Leng Yihan? What's up?" After the call connected, it was noticeably noisy on Miao Xingyin's end. You could vaguely hear conversations about food, so it must have been at a food stall.

"Could you please buy a bottle of water and a pudding and deliver them to the rest area next to the convenience store in front of the haunted house in Class 6 of the first year of high school? Lin Yin is in a really bad state... I need to keep an eye on her..."

"Ah? Okay, wait for me, I'll be there soon!" Miao Xingyin hung up the phone as soon as she finished speaking, but it would still take quite a while, since it was quite a distance from the food stalls. It would take at least ten minutes for her to get there to buy pudding and water.

Leng Yihan hugged Lin Yin tightly. This was the first time he had seen Lin Yin like this. He hadn't seen her like this when they encountered the Oracle together in the level 30 Ghost Tomb, nor in the level 75 Demon Realm. In his memory, Lin Yin was afraid of most things, but he never expected...

Tsk, I miscalculated...

"Yihan, you don't need to blame yourself anymore..."

"How could I feel guilty? Xiaoyin, you're overthinking it..."

"Your face is all written on your face, you idiot..." Lin Yin whispered as she leaned against Leng Yihan's chest. Leng Yihan didn't reply, just kept his arm around her.

A dozen minutes later, just as Leng Yihan had predicted, Miao Xingyin and Leng Binglan appeared in his field of vision. He looked down at Lin Yin, who was still leaning against him, and noticed that her face was no longer completely pale but had a hint of red.

"Ye... Lin Yin, what's wrong with you?" Leng Binglan was about to call out the familiar name, but realizing that Miao Xingyin was still around, she quickly changed her words.

Lin Yin slightly raised her head and glanced at Leng Binglan. The paleness on her face startled Leng Binglan, making her look like a lifeless doll.

"Are you alright? Have some water and pudding and rest." Miao Xingyin sat down next to Lin Yin, handed her a water bottle, and opened the pudding for her.

"I'm not that fragile... I can do it myself, Yihan, help me open the lid." Lin Yin took the water and handed it to Leng Yihan to help open the lid, then took the pudding from Miao Xingyin's hand.

"Do you know how worried we were when you looked like a dead person?"

"Leng Yihan, are you trying to imply that I'm dead?!" Lin Yin stomped on Leng Yihan's foot, really hard, making Leng Yihan howl in pain. But this actually made Leng Yihan feel a little more at ease, at least Lin Yin didn't look like a doll anymore.

"You two keep an eye on her, I'm going to the convenience store to buy her something to eat," Leng Yihan instructed Miao Xingyin and Leng Binglan as she got up, before heading towards the convenience store.
