I am in the horror game, scrambling to steal the male lead's halo

"Pei Yan!"

She called out, with pleading in her eyes.

The room was too dark and she didn't want to go in.

In the early years, people used to hang curtains that were heavy and thick, and closed tightly. Didn’t they consider people who were afraid of the dark?

She simply leaned half of her body against the wall and just kept her eyes on Pei Yan.

He is the kind of person who doesn't like to force others to do things.

Besides, Gu Chaoxi is a girl.

After a little thought, Pei Yan stepped into the room.

I don’t know what he put in it, but he walked stumblingly.

I tried hard to identify things in the dark, but I could only see the rough outline with the light coming in from the door.

After finally avoiding all this and walking to the window, Pei Yan raised one hand to cover his mouth, and with the other hand he grabbed the curtain and pulled it aside.

Beams of light jumped in from the window, and the room became bright in an instant.

Gu Chaoxi was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and touched his nose.

There were several upside-down bookshelves in the room, and almost all that caught the eye were scattered red and green book covers.

"It looks like this is her own little study, right?"

On the right side of the room were two single sofas against the wall, with a mini table in between, on which a set of white cups were still left.

Pei Yan raised his foot and landed on an empty space, then bent down and picked up the book closest to him from the ground.

I picked it up and flipped through it. It was a thick book on economics.

"Be more rigorous, this may be where she takes classes."

Compared to these, Pei Yan felt that the things in her bedroom were what women really liked.

"It doesn't matter."

Gu Chaoxi still walked in, even though the room was too messy.

She flipped through the pile of books on the floor but didn't see anything particularly special.

There was a book on aesthetics with a long-withered ginkgo leaf tucked inside it.

The ginkgo leaf had been stuck in the book for too long and was now as thin as paper, as if it would crumble into powder if she applied the slightest force.

After just a glance, she closed the book and placed it carefully on the ground.

Pei Yan walked back to the door without stepping on air. He felt a little headache looking at the mess on the ground. "We can't read every book."

"what?"

She stood up, her eyebrows slightly raised: "Actually, I don't think there will be anything here."

She thought so the moment she saw the mess on the ground.

Hearing this, Pei Yan felt both angry and amused. He waved his hand and walked straight to the last room.

Looking at the ruthless Pei Yan, Gu Chaoxi secretly pursed his lips.

She looked again at the scattered books and collapsed bookshelves in the room, raised her hand to scratch her head, sighed, and jumped out.

Pei Yan had already opened the door of the fifth room.

"The room."

He sighed, and Gu Chaoxi moved closer.

The half-open curtains were tied up with ropes, and only half of the window was letting in light.

The layout is almost the same as that of the woman's bedroom, with a round bed in the middle of the left side, but the wardrobe position has been replaced by two single sofas.

Looking to the right, the bookshelf is empty.

The chandelier above her head is relatively simple compared to the one in the woman’s bedroom.

There was a small wooden table at the head of the bed on the left side, on which was a bound cowhide manual.

Pei Yan walked over and saw a pen lying quietly on the carpet in front of the small wooden table.

He reached out and picked it up, and also picked up the leather manual.

If the room wasn't covered with too much dust, Pei Yan would have wanted to sit down directly beside the bed.

But in order to avoid getting dust on your face, just think about it and forget it.

The two of them left the room and stood in the corridor, then simply sat down by the floor-to-ceiling window.

"have a look?"

Knowing that Gu Chaoxi disliked dirtiness, Pei Yan simply grabbed the hem of his tuxedo and wiped off all the dust on the manual.

Looking at the leather manual in front of him, he was choking on a sentence for a long time.

In the end, Gu Chaoxi just sighed: "Good quality!"

She took the manual. The rope tied to it was simply wrapped and not difficult to untie.

It seems that because the manual has been used for a long time, the pages with words written on them are obviously much dirtier than the pages without words written on them.

I opened the first page and saw only a string of English letters.

She tilted her head: "Have you ever considered that I might not understand?"

Pei Yan shook his head: "Don't pretend, how can I not know whether you can do it or not?"

Dumb.

She almost forgot that Pei Yan had investigated her thoroughly before.

Well, Gu Chaoxi resigned himself to looking at these letters that gave him a headache.

The first page contained nothing but a common love phrase, which was meaningless, so she just flipped to the next page.

The first few pages appear to be excerpts, with occasional traces of scribbles.

When she turned to the fourth page of the manual, there was finally a change.

When he saw the time and weather marked, the corners of Gu Chaoxi's mouth raised slightly.

Wow, this guy still writes a diary.

After reading two pages attentively, she finally felt the intense gaze of the person next to her.

"Cough cough."

Someone couldn't help but remind.

Feeling a little embarrassed, she turned around and smiled, running her fingers over the pages of the book.

"It's not that the content is unimportant, I didn't say that."

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable being stared at, Gu Chaoxi simply turned around and quickly browsed through the articles, picking out the key points and talking to Pei Yan as he read.

"Well, this person came to the manor with his father and got to know the young lady here."

"He claimed that he fell in love with the young lady at first sight, but the young lady has many admirers and may not like him."

"Father and the owner of the manor are out, and they are the only ones left here."

"He confessed his love to the young lady, but was rejected. The young lady said her father would not allow it."

"His father and the owner of the manor are back. His father wants to take him back. His father seems very angry."

She glanced at the remaining broken marks in the middle of the paper and turned her head to look at Pei Yan.

“It’s torn in the middle.”

"Well, what's behind that?"

He nodded, his eyes looking somewhere unknown.

Gu Chaoxi continued to look back and couldn't help biting her lip.

"He has settled down in the manor again, and is studying with the young lady every day."

"He believes that love can develop over time."

In fact, this sentence was summarized by Gu Chaoxi himself.

The person who kept this diary had long, boring, and flowery words in a way that made her feel wrinkled when she read it.

He turned the page again and saw half a page of content written. There were a few random scratches below it, and then there was nothing left.

She shook the book in her hand: "No more!"

The person who wrote this record really likes to keep people in suspense. Did they fall in love over time? Couldn’t they just finish writing it?

Pei Yan lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. Gu Chaoxi even thought he might have fallen asleep.

I flipped through the pages again, and saw nothing but blank pages.

Suddenly, there was something written in very light handwriting on one of the pages.

She stared at it with a frown. It looked like the pen was about to run out of ink, and the handwriting was not even complete.

But you can still see the word "sorry" written in a rather sloppy manner.

Is he apologizing to the manor owner's daughter?
