Chapter 453 Shen Yuechuan, I’m Scared

After Lu Boyan and Su Jianan left, Mu Sijue and Xu Youning also went back.

On the beach, Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun who were bored were the only ones left there.

Shen Yuechuan crossed his hands behind his head and crossed his legs as well. He casually lay on the beach and took a long breath.

The beach at night was particularly quiet and the dim light enveloped the sea surface, which changed its usual blue color into something mysterious and deep. The constant sound of the waves colliding on the rock was extremely clear in the night, as music movements performed by a musician.

Shen Yuechuan closed his eyes and was dipped in the leisurely feeling.

Xiao Yunyun crossed her legs and sat about one meter away from Shen Yuechuan. Then she subconsciously turned around to look at Shen Yuechuan—

He was the same person as in the daytime. But the casualness and unconventional feeling around him disappeared. Instead, he seemed harmless and cute when lying on the beach cozily. He could have been mistaken for a good promising young man by someone who hadn’t seen him before.

But, it was undeniable that Shen Yuechuan was very good-looking in any conditions.

Just like the moment when the moonlight was dim. Anyone else would look vague and unattractive in that situation.

But Shen Yuechuan was different. He had a perfect face, with firm features. The dim moonlight washed over his face and only gave him a mysterious feeling. It did no harm to his handsomeness.

Xiao Yunyun took out her phone photographed it from a chosen angle.

Um, the photo didn’t need any adjustment. It was automatically beautified.

But what if the photo was discovered? Would she be mistaken as a pervert?

Xiao Yunyun thought about it and sent the picture to Shen Yuechuan. Then she could keep the photo candidly!

Having received the photo, Shen Yuechuan was a bit surprised. He lifted his eyebrows and glanced at Xiao Yunyun. “You’re not skilled in photographing.”

Xiao Yunyun knew he wouldn’t say anything good. She just curled her lips and smiled, “I think it isn’t good either. But it has nothing to do with the photographer. The model is too ordinary. It’s not worth appreciating at all without being processed and beautified!”

Shen Yuechuan hadn’t thought she would use his words to attack him. He bit his teeth and then replied, “Really? But in my eyes, the model is the only part worth looking in this photo. The photographing skills were terrible!”

Xiao Yunyun laughed out. “If narcissism is a crime, you would be sentenced to be imprisoned for life!”

Shen Yuechuan answered quickly and fluently, “If bad photographing skill is seen as a crime, you would have been beaten to death by now!”

They kept on with the word attacks without either of them giving up. It just got more and more vicious. They kept stabbing at one another with words, hoping the other would die of blood exhaustion at the next second.

The quietness on the beach was gradually broken, and the sound of waves cras.h.i.+ng on the rocks became louder as if they were cheering for them.

The war kept on for half an hour. Xiao Yunyun was very thirsty and signed to stop, “Shen Yuechuan, it’s time to go back. We can continue tomorrow.”

Shen Yuechuan inwardly appraised Xiao Yunyun’s eloquence; he couldn’t win even if he wouldn’t lose. So he agreed to the temporary truce and went back to the cabin.

It took about half an hour to walk from the seaside to the cabin.

Xiao Yunyun had walked by that road with Shen Yuechuan in the daytime. But at the moment, her back felt a chill, although it was the same way back.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yunyun understood that it was because of the island’s lighting, which was abundant.

The lighting on the island was specially designed; every beam of light could properly add to the quiet and leisurely atmosphere. The luminance was also proper, which could not only let the tourists have some alone time quietly but was also suitable for a group of people to party.

Reasonably speaking, Xiao Yunyun shouldn’t be scared. But the problem was, there were only six people except for the staff on the island. And she and Shen Yuechuan were the only ones outside.

At the moment, no matter how delicate the lights were arranged, it would seem terrifying, just like in the movie Mysterious Island.

Xiao Yunyun walked slowly and huddled up by Shen Yuechuan.

Shen Yuechuan soon noticed her strange behavior and asked smilingly, “Are you scared?”

Xiao Yunyun denied stubbornly, “It’s impossible! I’m a doctor, okay? I just feel a little cold!” Then he moved to Shen Yuechuan’s side. “Ah, you’re tall. You should fend off the wind for me.”

Shen Yuechuan was surprisingly generous and reached out his hand to hold Xiao Yunyun’s shoulder, “Since you’re not afraid, let me tell you a story!”

In fact, his movement wasn’t invasive at all. It was like holding a brother’s shoulder which showed no intimacy.

But Xiao Yunyun still felt uncomfortable. She was about to get rid of Shen Yuechuan’s hand when he turned to look at her. “The story is a bit scary. Do you dare to listen?”

“Of course, as long as you dare to tell!”

Xiao Yunyun was very confident. Anyway, she was a student of the medical academy!

Shen Yuechuan liked Xiao Yunyun’s reaction. He organized his thoughts and started to tell the story slowly.

“The wooden architecture on the island was in the charge of Mr. Zhang who prepared the motor boat for us. Several days ago, he reported a thing to me. A strange thing happened when they laid the foundation of the cabin you’ll stay in.”

Xiao Yunyun had a bad feeling but she wasn’t afraid yet. She asked calmly, “What strange thing?”

“They just couldn’t lay the foundation stably,” Shen Yuechuan said lightly, “Later, he asked a Master over from outside. The Master said the reason was that someone lived there.”

Xiao Yunyun felt even colder but she still pretended she wasn’t scared. “And then? How was it solved?”

“Then the Master solved it.” Shen Yuechuan pretended to be thinking. “Well, I heard from Mr. Zhang that they had held a ceremony and the Master sent the person to another place. After that, the cabin was built smoothly.”

Right after those words, they arrived at the door of the cabin. Xiao Yunyun subconsciously stopped.

“What’s wrong?” Shen Yuechuan looked at Xiao Yunyun with “concern” and asked, “Are you scared? Don’t worry. That person was driven away by the Master.”

The more Shen Yuechuan emphasized ‘that person’, the more obvious Xiao Yunyun thought about the terrifying images.

She had to admit she was afraid, but she didn’t want to show it in front of Shen Yuechuan.

She got out of Shen Yuechuan’s grasp and condemned him angrily, “You are highly educated. How can you be so superst.i.tious? Well, stupid is a better word!”

Shen Yuechuan looked at Xiao Yunyun in doubt. “You’re really not afraid?”

Xiao Yunyun crossed her arms in front of her b.r.e.a.s.t.s and smiled. “When we had anatomy cla.s.ses, there were plenty of corpses in a lab. Do you really think this kind of story can scare me?”

Shen Yuechuan understood after thinking about it. Xiao Yunyun was from a medical school. What hadn’t she seen before? What could make her afraid?

He suddenly felt that things were boring and waved his hand to Xiao Yunyun. “I’ll go back now. See you tomorrow.”

Seeing Shen Yuechuan’s figure getting farther and farther away, Xiao Yunyun felt colder and colder. She instantly went back into the cabin.

Before she closed the door, Xiao Yunyun turned on all the lights first, then closed all the windows firmly and turned on the phone to play a song called “Good Day”.

“Aye—, today is a good day~”

The cheerful voice filled the whole room. Xiao Yunyun jumped for a few times to cheer herself up, then grabbed her pajamas and went into the bathroom.

She kept warning herself to stop those horrifying thoughts, but it didn’t work as she wanted. The scary scenes in the movies and novels kept appearing in her mind.

She thought of a woman who would come out of the bath tub, her body bleeding all over…

The ghost shadow appearing in the mirror…

Once turning around, you would see a man standing in the corner…

Gradually, she almost lost control. Xiao Yunyun held her breath, finished showering at the fastest speed and rushed out of the bathroom.

Just at that moment, with a “pah” sound, the lights in the room all went out and she was completely swallowed in the darkness.

A cold smoke went from her head to her toes. She was completely stiff for a second or two. She just opened her mouth but couldn’t say a word.

After two seconds—

“Ah!”

With a loud scream, Xiao Yunyun pushed the door of the cabin open and ran out.

Without any consideration, she ran directly to Shen Yuechuan’s cabin and patted on the door, “Shen Yuechuan, Shen Yuechuan!”

Shen Yuechuan was taking a bath. He heard the sound, covered himself with a towel and went out. He opened the door and saw Xiao Yunyun. He felt strange and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“I…”

Xiao Yunyun completely lost control after uttering a single word. Then tears burst out of her eyes.

“Hey, don’t cry.” Shen Yuechuan had handled all kinds of women but he had never seen a girl crying in front of him. He became instantly fl.u.s.tered and didn’t know what to do. What was worse, he didn’t know how to comfort her.

Xiao Yunyun looked at Shen Yuechuan with watery eyes. He never thought she would be so terrified because of him and he was still there comforting her to stop crying…

She cried even harder.

“No…” Shen Yuechuan wiped off the tears on Xiao Yunyun’s face, “What are you crying for?”

“You…” Xiao Yunyun choked as she talked, “The person you talked about, he came back.”

Shen Yuechuan was confused. “Which person?”

Xiao Yunyun stamped her feet. “The person living in my cabin! I just finished showering, then the lights went out. I’m so scared, wuwuwu…”

Shen Yuechuan finally understood. He looked at Xiao Yunyun with guilt, not knowing whether to tell the truth or not.

If he came clean, Xiao Yunyun might not let him go. He wouldn’t have a chance to sleep that night.

After thinking for a while, Shen Yuechuan finally made a compromise. “If the lights are out, there must be something wrong with the circuit. I can go to your place to have a look.” Then he wanted to walk out.

Xiao Yunyun held Shen Yuechuan’s hand. “Don’t leave.”

Shen Yuechuan turned around to look at Xiao Yunyun strangely. She realized her action was quite confusing, so she drew her hand back and explained, “I’m scared.”
