After Becoming the Love-Brained Female Lead’s Best Friend - Chapter 19

On Saturday, Fang Shu booked tickets and went to the amusement park with Ye Wanyin. Originally, Fang Shu had wanted Ye Wanyin to wear a dress, but unfortunately, Ye Wanyin really was not used to it. In the end, Fang Shu could only give up regretfully.

The amusement park was quite far from school, so the two took a taxi.

As soon as they went in, Fang Shu asked Ye Wanyin, “Are you afraid of ghosts?”

Ye Wanyin hesitated. “I’m okay?”

Ye Wanyin, who was obsessed with studying, did not know whether she was afraid of ghosts or not.

And so, out of curiosity, Fang Shu pulled Ye Wanyin along and booked tickets for the Ghost Ship. When the staff at the Ghost Ship saw that there were only two of them, they asked them to wait for a while. After about ten minutes, when enough people had gathered, the staff finally led the group into the haunted house.

After entering the Ghost Ship, the staff used an old-looking small television inside to play the background story for them.

The story was about a merchant ship in the past. When it set sail, it was swept into a whirlpool. After the people onboard woke up, they discovered that no one on the ship had died. But strangely enough, it seemed they were not alive either…

When the background story reached this point, the staff came out to speak.

“In a moment, you will enter the interior of this ghost ship. Inside, you may encounter ghosts, and you may also encounter the undead. After you enter, we will scatter you. There are several routes you can take to get out. If you’re truly scared, you can call for help, and we will send staff to bring you out.”

After saying this, the staff led them down. The steps inside the sunken ship were made of wood. Ye Wanyin did not know if they had deliberately chosen wood of poor quality, but when she stepped on it, there was an obvious creaking sound, as if the steps were about to break.

It was very dark inside. Fang Shu was worried that Ye Wanyin was afraid of ghosts without knowing it, so she held her hand and whispered to her, “Stay close to me.”

Soon, there would be NPCs coming over specifically to lure them apart.

After walking for a while, Ye Wanyin’s vision in the dark was truly not very good. She could not even see clearly what was ahead. Then she suddenly heard several cries of surprise from around them, and the group scattered.

There were still several boys beside them. Seeing that the two of them were girls, the boys kindly said they could walk in the middle.

Fang Shu did not refuse this. In any case, they would be separated again later.

Ye Wanyin did not say a word the entire time.

However, among the boys, it was clear that not all of them were unafraid of ghosts. At the back, a boy wearing glasses had originally been walking shoulder to shoulder with a boy who was not wearing glasses. After walking for a while, a hand suddenly reached out from under their feet. Fang Shu clearly felt the hand she was holding tighten quite a bit.

As for the bespectacled boy behind them, he was so frightened that he directly squeezed in front of the boy without glasses.

He was absolutely determined not to be the last person.

The other boys all laughed at him.

After walking forward for a while, there were several rooms ahead. They were clearly the living quarters of the crew members who had died in the background story.

And there was no road ahead.

The two boys in the lead observed their surroundings for a while, then took the lead and opened one of the rooms. Almost as soon as they entered, the door closed behind them.

The two boys behind them exchanged looks and quickly tried to open the door. However, they discovered that the door would not open. Just as they were about to ask about the situation inside, a rustling sound suddenly came from behind them.

Once only four people were left, the scene became quiet. And so that strange little sound became especially obvious.

After a while, behind them appeared a ghost in a white coat, floating over with no visible feet. The boy who was afraid of ghosts was so frightened that he ran into one of the rooms in a panic, choosing a path at random. The other boy was dragged in with him.

Ye Wanyin felt like she was about to faint.

With her limited vision, when she saw the ghost floating over, she did not even know which side to step toward.

Fortunately, the increasingly tight grip of her hand reminded Fang Shu. Fang Shu glanced at the ghost getting closer and closer to them, then pulled Ye Wanyin into one of the rooms.

The first feeling after entering the room was dampness. There was even some leftover water on the floor. In the room, which felt obviously crowded once two people entered, there was a single bed. The distance between the foot of the bed and the wall only allowed one person to pass through, while the door leading out of the room was clearly on the opposite side.

Fang Shu thought about the horror movies she had watched before and felt that whether one walked in front or behind, there seemed to be risks either way. So she threw the choice to Ye Wanyin.

“Do you want to walk in front or behind?”

Ye Wanyin had only just recovered a little. Seeing that there was faint light in the room, she said, “I’ll walk in front.”

Fang Shu let her.

In any case, Fang Shu was not afraid of ghosts.

Ye Wanyin moved forward step by step. Fang Shu slowly switched hands to hold her and reminded her, “In a moment, a hand will reach out from under the bed. Don’t panic. Just ignore it.”

Ye Wanyin: “…”

The undead under the bed: “…”

Although Fang Shu had said that, when the hand really did reach out, Ye Wanyin was still frightened into gripping Fang Shu’s hand tightly. Using the light, Fang Shu even deliberately looked at Ye Wanyin’s expression.

…It must be the glasses hiding her expression.

The NPC under the bed was also depressed. He had thought the girl behind was reminding the girl in front because the girl in front was afraid of ghosts. But after his hand grabbed the girl’s foot, the expression on her face did not change at all.

She even looked expressionlessly at the hand under the bed.

After a person and an undead stayed frozen like that for a while, the NPC finally withdrew his hand. Only then was Ye Wanyin able to step forward on slightly weak feet and continue walking.

When it was Fang Shu’s turn, the NPC already knew she was not afraid of ghosts, so this time, he did not even extend his hand.

Ye Wanyin, who witnessed everything: “…”

Pushing open the door opposite them, they found a long corridor behind it. From the speakers on the ceiling, the sound of wind would play from time to time.

The two walked forward in silence. Fang Shu suddenly spoke. “I just realized your hand is actually smaller than mine.”

As she spoke, she pulled their joined hands in front of them. Because they had been holding hands for quite a while, there was already a little sticky sweat in their palms. Fang Shu instructed Ye Wanyin to spread her fingers. After comparing carefully, Fang Shu discovered that Ye Wanyin’s hand was indeed a size smaller than hers, though her fingers looked quite slender and long.

Fang Shu suddenly asked, “How tall are you?”

Ye Wanyin thought about it. “Last time I measured, I think I was 1.73 meters.”

Fang Shu: “…”

Fang Shu was unhappy.

In the yuri top-and-bottom novels she read, most of the tops seemed to be taller than the bottoms.

But very quickly, she comforted herself. It was fine. She was only seventeen. She could still grow taller.

And so, just as Ye Wanyin was about to politely return the question and ask her height, Fang Shu quickly changed the subject. “Let’s hurry. We’re about to get out.”

After passing through this corridor and encountering a few more ghosts, they finally got out in one piece.

After leaving, the two retrieved their belongings. Then Fang Shu asked Ye Wanyin what she wanted to play.

Ye Wanyin truly did not understand much about having fun, so she thought for a long time. In the end, Fang Shu could not bear watching anymore and directly pulled her to ride the roller coaster.

Between the vertical roller coaster and the regular roller coaster, Fang Shu even gave Ye Wanyin a choice.

Ye Wanyin looked at the roller coasters on both sides and suddenly felt her legs go a little weak. “Can we ride neither?”

Seeing that she had even taken a few steps back to show her determination not to get on, Fang Shu said regretfully, “Fine.”

Near the roller coasters, there was a pirate ship. Fang Shu asked her if she wanted to ride that. Ye Wanyin glanced at how high the pirate ship swung. It did not seem especially high, so she agreed.

There were already people playing on the pirate ship, so the two lined up behind them and waited. When it was their turn, Fang Shu asked Ye Wanyin whether she wanted to sit in front or in the back. But after asking, she remembered that this was Ye Wanyin’s first time, so without waiting for her answer, she led her to choose the front.

The front did not swing as high as the back. At first, Ye Wanyin even felt as if she were walking on flat ground, until the pirate ship swung higher and higher, and the figures on the ground looked smaller and smaller.

Ye Wanyin: “…”

She suddenly felt that she was somewhat afraid of heights.

Fortunately, even at the highest point, the front only swung a few meters off the ground, so when they got off, Ye Wanyin’s legs were not trembling.

This area was basically full of thrill-seeking rides. Without even needing to walk forward, they could see the drop tower and the giant pendulum ahead. This time, Fang Shu did not even ask. She led Ye Wanyin in the opposite direction.

There were several stalls along the way. Fang Shu bought quite a lot of food as they walked. When they reached an area that was not so thrilling, Fang Shu pulled Ye Wanyin to ride the carousel.

Fang Shu let Ye Wanyin get on first, then sat behind her. During the ride, she inevitably wrapped her arms around Ye Wanyin’s waist.

It felt completely different from being held before. A girl’s waist was soft, and especially slender. When Fang Shu’s arms circled Ye Wanyin through the fabric, she could clearly feel warmth coming from Ye Wanyin’s waist.

Suddenly, Ye Wanyin moved her body a little unnaturally and whispered to the person behind her, “It’s a little ticklish.”

Hearing this, Fang Shu held her even tighter. Their bodies became very close because of it. Fang Shu simply rested her head on Ye Wanyin’s shoulder.

“You have to get used to it. After all, we’re dating now.”

And so Ye Wanyin stopped talking.

After riding the carousel, the two played a few other things. Only when night was approaching did Fang Shu pull Ye Wanyin to line up for the Ferris wheel.

The Ferris wheel did not turn quickly, allowing the riders inside to clearly see the figures below shrinking second by second. By the time those figures had shrunk to the size of ants, Fang Shu and Ye Wanyin had also reached the highest point.

Fang Shu looked toward the sunset in the distance. The fiery red sun had already completely sunk, leaving only a stretch of brilliant rosy clouds hanging at the edge of the sky.

“According to novel plots, couples should kiss right about now,” Fang Shu said while looking at the glow of the sunset in the distance.

Ye Wanyin beside her froze for a moment. Thinking she had been hinted at, she imagined two girls kissing and felt that it did not seem especially repulsive.

And so, after mentally preparing herself, she closed her eyes and was just about to kiss Fang Shu when Fang Shu beside her suddenly said, “We’ve started descending.”

Ye Wanyin stopped.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Fang Shu staring at her with an extremely subtle expression. “What were you just doing?”

Ye Wanyin: “…”

“Didn’t you say we should kiss?” Ye Wanyin asked blankly.

Fang Shu punched her arm. “Kiss what? We haven’t even been dating for a week.”

Ye Wanyin belatedly nodded. Then her ears turned red with embarrassment.

After getting off, the two solved dinner nearby before heading home under the night sky.
