Chapter Thirty-Three: The Most "Sweet" Romance

  Su Yi's face turned red again, and after a long time, she said, "Then just take it as default..."

  As soon as he heard this, Jiang Fengchen immediately jumped up excitedly and didn't forget to pick up Su Yisuo and spin her around in a circle several times, shouting: "Yisuo, I love you!"

  Although there weren't many people in the park, it wasn't that few either. With Jiang Fengchen's shout, everyone around them looked over, revealing kind or disgusted expressions. Su Yisuo obviously felt many gazes falling on them and couldn't help but feel shy, hurriedly shouting: "Jiang Fengchen, put me down!"

  Jiang Fengchen didn't put her down, instead he spun around a few more times before finally setting her down, saying: "Yi Su, you have no idea how happy I am!"

  Su Yisu's face had turned as red as Guan Gong's at this time, and her ears were also hot. To cover up her shyness, she could only turn around and run out, "Jiang Fengchen, I'm going back!"

  "Wait for me!" Jiang Fengchen took off after him.

  The two of them slowly made their way through the streets, retracing their steps back to where they came from. Jiang Fengchen would take a step and then glance at her, take another step and then glance at her again, his scorching gaze making it impossible for Su Yisou to pretend she didn't notice, so she lightly kicked him and said, "Pay attention to the road."

  Jiang Fengchen smiled with a "heh heh" and raised the two tightly clasped hands, saying: "And you're leading the way too."

  Su Yisuo tried to break free, but was held tightly, and couldn't struggle out of it. She pretended to be angry and said: "Who allowed you to hold my hand..."

  "Your heart."

  Su Yisu glared at him fiercely, but it only brought a more intense smile from Jiang Fengchen.

  Back on the school route, Jiang Fengchen finally restrained himself and let go of her hand. Su Yisuo immediately withdrew his hands into his pockets, afraid that Jiang Fengchen would grab him again. Holding hands was too embarrassing!

  Jiang Fengchen saw her off to the dormitory building and only left after watching her go up. Su Yisuo turned back every three steps, slowly walking up to the second floor, thinking for a moment, then looking down again, and really seeing him still standing there.

  Jiang Fengchen saw Su Yisuo poking her head out and immediately smiled, waving at her to greet her. His expression seemed to confirm that she would look for him again. Su Yisuo couldn't help but blush again, not responding to him, and turned around to walk back to the dormitory.

  Jiang Zuo and Lin Wei knew that Su Yi Su had agreed to Jiang Feng Chen, the first reaction was to spit out their food directly.

  "Sui Su couldn't help but feel depressed, 'Do you have to be like this?'"

  Jiang Zuo swallowed hard and said: "Su Yisou, you are beyond salvation."

  "Then you can save me."

  She gave him a sideways glance, "You think I'm some kind of miracle doctor who can cure anything? Even if that were true, it wouldn't be enough to heal emotional wounds."

  "Hey, you're wrong about this, it's just a crush, and you're already talking about heartbreak."

  Lin Wan occasionally looked at this and then that, silently lowered her head to eat, without making any comments.

  Jiang Zuo didn't let her stay out of it and turned around to ask: "Lin Wan, what do you say?"

  Lin Wan raised her head, pretending to be confused, and said: "I don't know anything."

  Have the courage to speak out the truth. You said this to Chen Jie Rui, if you can't even do it yourself, then I'll laugh at you~

  "Alright you two," Su Yisou interrupted them, "love is a matter between two people, whether it's right or wrong I'll personally go verify."

  Jiang Zuo didn't think so, "Is there right or wrong in love? Moreover, you've already determined it's right, what's the point of talking about right or wrong again?"

  "We'll just take care of our friendship then." Lin Wan said faintly, "One day when you're heartbroken, remember I'm still here."

  "Oh dear, I'm so touched! What should I do?" Su Yisu pretended to be moved.

  Jiang Zuo hummed and said, "Then I'll just have to marry you."

  "Sui Su glared at her, 'I have nothing to repay you with, but I do.' She said with a smile, and leaned in close to Lin Wan, 'Wan, I will love you more than you love me...'"

  Jiang Zuo couldn't help but shiver, "This is really creepy."

  "That's disgusting." Lin Wan showed no mercy on her face.

  "Are there people like you?!"

  "Are we not?" they replied in unison.

  Su Yisu knew she couldn't win an argument with them, so she changed the subject and said: "Ran, isn't it your turn next?"

  Lin Lin shrugged, "Not interested."

  "Not... interested..." Su Yisu repeated the sentence in a strange tone, turning her head to Jiang Zuo and saying: "Zuo, what a shocking reason!"

  Jiang Yaoyue suddenly saw something strange and said, "Wow! Someone is spiritually in love with a certain uncle!"

  "Oh! I see!" Su nodded thoughtfully.

  "Alas," Jiang Zuo couldn't help but sigh, "You guys are all abnormal. Su Yisou may have found someone unreliable, but at least it's real. You're even worse, with an online romance! Lin Wan, you're not young anymore, don't believe in those messy online relationships."

  Lin Lan glanced at her lightly and said, "I've said it many times before, we're just very good friends, that's all."

  "What's even worse is that they don't even know how to repent." Jiang Zhanlin sighed again, "Friends? Where can you find pure opposite-sex friends in this world who are good to you without having ulterior motives?"

  Lin Lin leaned in close to Su Yisou and whispered, "Su, don't you think that now she's like a middle-aged woman going through menopause? Always nagging."

  "It's just like you." Su Yisu nodded honestly.

  Lin Xiao did not intentionally lower her voice, so Jiang Xiao naturally and unintentionally overheard it, and couldn't help but get angry, saying: "Two naive little girls!"

  Su Yisu and Lin Wan just raised an eyebrow, lowered their heads and continued eating.

  Two out of the three people fell in love, and logically, the time they spent together as a trio would decrease. However, these three individuals' behavior defied conventional thinking. Su Yisu fully inherited Jiang Zhanlin's "friendship first, romance second" philosophy, often leaving Jiang Fengchen behind to spend time with Jiang Zhanlin and Lin Wan, inseparable as ever. Chen Jierui and Jiang Fengchen had no choice but to follow the trio from behind, resigned to being a small entourage. Over time, Chen Jierui and Jiang Fengchen also became quite familiar with each other.

  The trio often became a group of five, and Su Yisou, Jiang Zuo, and even Lin Wan didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

  Jiang Fengchen finally got the chance to be alone with Su Yisou, and excitedly pulled her to Flowing Scenery Park, saying that it was a witness to their happy beginning, and they had to commemorate it.

  This is the first time they have come here since they last saw the azaleas. The facilities in the park are almost all built, and the park has also started to operate normally.

  The two of them walked back and forth in the park, strolling through the entire park, and finally stopped in front of the haunted house.

  "Are you going in?" Jiang Fengchen asked Su Yisou.

  Su Yisu hastily shook her head, "It's really scary, okay?!"

  Jiang Fengchen smiled slyly and pulled her along as they walked inside, "With me here, you don't have to be afraid."

  The ticket seller pulled up the electric gate, and inside, a gloomy atmosphere filled with an eerie aura. As the music started, Su Yisu couldn't help but shiver, and suddenly felt a desire to retreat. But since she had already come this far, she steeled herself and followed Jiang Fengchen closely, her hands tightly grasping his, her head bowed, almost clinging to him, completely surrendering control to Jiang Fengchen.

  Clinging to Jiang Fengchen, she inched forward step by step, the terrifying sounds continuously assaulting her eardrums. Su Yisuo wanted to cover her ears with her hands but was afraid of losing her grip on Jiang Fengchen, so she remained indecisive, relying on the constant screams to numb her wildly racing heart.

  Suddenly feeling something sticking behind her back, Su Yisu let out a sharp cry and turned around to fling herself into Jiang Fengchen's arms.

  "Don't be afraid, it's just a broom." Jiang Fengchen hugged her, clearly feeling Su Yisuo's intense heartbeat, and regretted bringing her in hastily. He could only continue to comfort her, praying that he could give her a little more sense of security.

  Su Yisuo finally calmed down a bit, plucked up the courage to release Jiang Fengchen, and looked around. Just as Su Yisuo turned her back, a ghostly figure wearing white clothes, with seven orifices bleeding, and an expressionless face floated out lightly, stopped in front of Su Yisuo, stared at her fixedly, and let out a mournful and terrifying moan: "I... died... so... unjustly... ah..."

  "Ah!!!!!!" Su Yisuo screamed and tightly hugged Jiang Fengchen again.

  The eerie music that had never stopped seemed to grow even stronger, Su Yisou's whole body was trembling, hiding behind Jiang Fengchen and not daring to lift her head even if she died.

  Jiang Fengchen patted her hand and, plucking up his courage, took a closer look before smiling reassuringly at Su Yisou: "Yisou, it's fake. There's also an iron net surrounding it, see."

  "Don't look!!" Su Yisu shouted loudly and dragged Jiang Fengchen to run for his life.

  "Be careful, there might be something ahead!"

  Upon hearing this, Su Yisu's face turned pale and she stopped in her tracks. She drew closer to Jiang Fengchen, grasping him tightly and refusing to let go. "Don't scare me!"

  Jiang Fengchen hugged her and said, "Don't run around randomly, follow me."

  When the two finally came out of the haunted house, Su Yisu was stunned, her face pale and terrifying, her heart still racing violently. She could even clearly hear the sound of her own heartbeat. She tightly grasped Jiang Fengchen's hand and refused to let go, and whenever she thought about the scene just now, she felt a lingering fear.

  "Yi Su," Jiang Fengchen hugged her tightly, "I'm sorry, I didn't know..."

  Su Yisu interrupted him with a expressionless face and said in a dull tone: "Jiang Fengchen, it seems to be very stimulating."

  "Really?" Jiang Fengchen was somewhat surprised, looking at Su Yisuo's expression that hadn't recovered yet. "Yisuo, what did you say?"

  "Hah!" Su Yisou exhaled heavily, blowing out the wine fumes, and came back to her senses. She smiled at Jiang Fengchen with a carefree air, saying: "They say that there are two consequences of being overly frightened. One is to collapse directly, and the other is to lose the emotion of fear. I didn't collapse, so it proves that from now on, I won't be afraid anymore! Haha!"

  Jiang Fengchen was originally heartbroken and guilty, but upon hearing this, he helplessly said: "You!"

  But neither of them had the heart to continue playing, and they both returned to school.

  Jiang Zuo and Lin Wan were both there, Su Yi Su told them about the experience, and finally patted her frightened little heart and said, "Too scary!"

  Jiang Zuo glared at her with disdain and said, "Others go on dates, you also go on dates. Others are all about romance and sweet talk under the flowers and willows, but you're different, running off to a haunted house! Serves you right!"

  Lin Wan also spoke in a hushed tone, "All I can say is that Jiang Fengchen's intentions are not pure. He knows it's a girl and he's still scared, yet he dragged Yi Su along, wanting to be the hero who saves the beauty?"
