They don't actually think I like them, do they?

"Honestly, how many times do I have to say it? Mangzi has never bragged! Everything Mangzi says is true!"

Mangzi pretended to be angry, put her hands on her hips, and pouted.

This appearance instantly melted everyone's hearts, and everyone exclaimed that Mangzi was just too cute!

The importance of a persona!

Both are public figures, so why does Yan Yuli live such a tiring life? Although their fame is not on the same level, it can be seen that Mangzi really doesn't care about his image as an idol!

Lin Han tried to run away, but Mangzi grabbed his arm.

"Don't go! Take me around the school festival." Mangzi looked at Lin Han, blinking her big eyes.

Lin Han knew he couldn't escape, so he had no choice but to compromise: "Alright."

The sound of students talking came from behind me again.

"Although I was just joking, those two really have a good relationship~"

"Waaaaah, why does Lin Han get all the good things? It's not fair!"

"I really want to go around the school with Mangzi! It would be so much fun hanging out with a girl like her!"

"......"

At this moment, Lin Han was completely convinced.

After this school festival, my original intention of studying quietly at school is probably going to be a bit difficult to achieve!

Meanwhile, on the second floor of the senior high school building in the distance.

Yan Yuli leaned on the balcony, her expression calm, quietly watching this scene.

......

Afterwards, Lin Han took Mangzi on a tour of the school.

During this process, Lin Han also gained a better understanding of the AWM girl group that Mangzi belonged to.

AWM Girls Group has evolved from a campus idol group and has been established for three years. It is one of the most influential campus idol groups in Sichuan.

It wasn't until the end of last year that the AWM girl group transformed from "campus idols" to officially debut as professional idols.

Therefore, AWM girl group does not have much fame in the entertainment industry and has not become a mainstream phenomenon.

However, in the circle of campus idols, AWM's popularity and buzz have always been at the top level.

It's normal that Lin Han didn't know them before, because he never pays attention to idols and isn't within their audience.

However, among students who like idols, AWM and Mangzi are extremely famous.

Just like in the e-sports circle of his previous life, almost everyone who played games knew Clearlove, but you couldn't say he was particularly famous, because once he left the circle, no one would know him.

In contrast, only a national-level child star like Yan Yuli could make someone like Lin Han, who was oblivious to the world around him and focused solely on his studies, somewhat aware of her.

Lin Han took Mangzi to a toy store and ordered a milk tea.

It felt like a young couple strolling through the streets.

"Lin Han, I want to play this!"

Suddenly, Mangzi stopped in front of a shop.

The words "Haunted House" were prominently displayed above.

The haunted house at school festivals is a classic trope in novels, comics, and anime, and the gameplay is always the same old formula.

In fact, this is also the reality.

Because you simply can't expect a few students to produce anything interesting.

Lin Han didn't find this thing scary at all; he knew all the tricks inside by heart.

However, seeing Mangzi's expectant eyes, Lin Han still bought two tickets.

A classmate blindfolded Lin Han and Mang Zi with a cloth and then led them into the haunted house.

Just then, the student at the door pulled out a walkie-talkie and gave a wicked smile:

"Attention all units, Mangzi is here! She's the cutest girl in AWM! Everyone, go all out and scare her until her hormones are out of whack! She'll be the best advertisement for our haunted house!"

"understand!"

049. Haunted House

After the blindfolds were removed from their eyes, everything went completely dark.

With only a faint glimmer of light, the two could barely make out each other's presence.

"Whew~ It's so cold," Mangzi said, hugging her arms.

"Let's go." Lin Han walked straight ahead.

"Hey, can't you have a little compassion for women?!" Seeing that no one was around, Mangzi stopped pretending and started yelling.

"Let's go now."

It was pitch black all the way, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. Lin Han and Mangzi had to rely on the walls to move forward. Occasionally they could hear some rustling footsteps, but they didn't know if it was Mangzi's or someone else's.

In fact, this feeling of not being able to see anything clearly can still make people feel uneasy.

Even though Lin Han was a staunch materialist, he couldn't withstand the shock of suddenly stepping into the air.

Suddenly, a terrifying sound effect started playing.

It was a woman's pitiful scream. If you listen carefully, it sounds a little funny, but it's so loud!

Moreover, it plays on a loop repeatedly, which really gives it a brainwashing feel.

It's like paying money to suffer...

Lin Han scratched his head, looking somewhat troubled.

Mangzi grabbed Lin Han's arm.

"I'm afraid..."

"You're afraid??" Lin Han asked in shock.

"I'm terrified of ghosts and monsters!" Mangzi said quietly.

"Really?" Lin Han asked skeptically.

"Oh dear~ why don't you believe me? I've been afraid to watch horror movies since I was little, I'm really scared of that kind of thing!"

Mangzi blinked her big, bright eyes and looked pitiful.

At this moment, in the shadows.

"Hmph, Mangzi is such a sweetheart, she's already scared of this little thing!"

The girl, dressed in white, put on a wig that completely covered her face and said smugly.

If we can give them a good scare here, the haunted house will become famous!

As the female ghost pondered this, she stealthily crept up behind the two of them.

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Lin Han said helplessly.

As if waiting for Lin Han to say those words, Mangzi immediately stretched out her slender hand and said with a mischievous smile:

"Take my hand and walk with me, then I won't be afraid."

"Huh? Isn't this bad?"

“What’s wrong with it? I’m a girl and I haven’t said anything, but you’re starting to act all reserved,” Mangzi said, dissatisfied.

"Ok."

Lin Han reached out his hand, just as he was about to take Mangzi's hand.

A cold hand blocked the two of them, and the female ghost poked her head out...

Mangzi turned around and delivered a flying kick that struck the female ghost squarely in the abdomen, sending her spinning three and a half times in mid-air before she flew five meters and crashed spectacularly to the ground.

"???" Lin Han was stunned.

"That scared Mangzi to death!" Mangzi looked aggrieved.

"You're the scariest one here!" Lin Han shouted.

The female ghost, who was lying on the ground, was completely stunned by the kick.

Who am I? Where am I? What just happened?

In the pitch black, the female ghost hadn't even seen clearly before she was sent flying.

No one could possibly have that much strength!

It's a hallucination, it must be a hallucination!!

Perhaps because she had just fallen, the female ghost felt that her mind was somewhat confused.

She quickly moved aside, and a voice came from the walkie-talkie.

"Xiaojia, you did a great job! I could hear Mangzi screaming from the doorway. They were terrified!" the ticket seller exclaimed excitedly.

"But I always feel like something's off about them," Xiaojia said anxiously, clutching her aching stomach.

"Something's not right? The effect is outstanding! Give them a good beating later!"

"Ok."

Next, Xiaojia tried to clear her mind, returned to the prop shop, and began to replenish her equipment.

Xiao Jia had inexplicably tripped and fallen earlier, making her hesitant to get too close to the two of them.

She decided to use a remote-controlled item.

Xiaojia opened the styrofoam box and pulled out a water gun from a pile of ice.

This is an electric, rapid-fire water gun; all its water bullets are made of ice water.

In such a terrifying atmosphere, these ice bullets were fired at them, making them experience a sudden chill down their spines without them even knowing what was happening!

That would be enough to throw them into a panic and make them lose their way, so I could then reappear and give them a good scare!

After these three moves, it would be hard for Miss Mangzi not to be scared to tears!

Thinking of this, Xiaojia regained her confidence and revealed a smug smile.

Meanwhile, Lin Han and Mang Zi continued walking forward.

Along the way, Lin Han saw all sorts of props, including skulls, crosses, severed limbs, zombie models, and so on.

This haunted house really knows how to blend Chinese and Western styles!

At first, Mangzi was hesitant and timid when he saw ghosts or Sadako, but later, when he saw skulls or blood, he immediately became very interested and started playing with them.

"Haha, this severed hand and blood are so fake!" Mangzi laughed.

Lin Han couldn't laugh at all, given the sarcasm and disdain in the words!

Just then, an ice bullet suddenly shot out and hit Mangzi's arm.

"Hey, I won!" Xiao Jia exclaimed excitedly from the shadows.

Mangzi's pupils widened suddenly, and then he immediately tackled Lin Han to the ground.

"There is an enemy attack!!"

"???" Lin Han was still completely bewildered.

Mangzi quickly pulled an AK47 from under her skirt and opened fire in front of her.

"Calm down!!" Lin Han shouted, but Mangzi's two big white rabbits were already on his head, and he started firing a burst of gunfire.

"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat—"

In the darkness, sparks flew everywhere, and spent cartridges kept flying out.

"Die to me!!"

The ticket seller, who was watching from the doorway, was overjoyed when he heard the gunshot.

Xiao Jia's even using a water gun! Won't that scare Mangzi away?!
