Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Chapter 156 The Poor Little One Living Under Someone Else’s Roof (3)

Gu Qingli's lips moved:

"We are, after all, the closest people. There's no need to completely cut off contact. Otherwise, my mother will be sad. After all, it was my aunt who entrusted you to us."

He mentioned his mother and aunt simply to remind Mu Zhou that the two of them had a close relationship that outsiders did not have.

Mu Zhou looked at him silently, sneering silently.

What a selfish coward.

I dare not admit that I like her, but I can't let her go.

She said nothing more and went upstairs.

*

Gu's parents are back.

After asking about their recent lives as usual, Gu's mother asked Mu Zhou about his college entrance examination results, and Mu Zhou replied that everything went as usual.

Mother Gu nodded with relief:

"That's good. You can go to Tsinghua University by then, and Qing Li and you can still look after each other. Even if you don't get in, it doesn't matter. There are many good universities in Qing City. You can just pick one."

Father Gu also said:

"If you don't want to live on campus, you can still live at home. If the villa is too far away, I'll have someone look for a house in the city for you."

Mu Zhou lowered his eyes and said nothing.

She didn't dare tell them that she wanted to apply to University A, because Gu's parents would definitely not agree to her going to the distant city A alone.

Although Gu's parents are busy with business, they have been very good to Mu Zhou over the years, and she is very grateful.

But this time, they had to be disappointed.

They only stayed for two days and left in a hurry. Before leaving, they did not forget to remind Gu Qingli:

"Qingli, your father and I treat Mu Zhou as our biological daughter. She is your biological sister. You must take good care of her."

Gu Qingli's face turned pale and he nodded stiffly.

Ever since Mu Zhou came home, his parents often said these things to him. Gradually, these words became like shackles for him, completely trapping him.

He couldn't accept how his parents would look at him if they knew, and he couldn't get over it in his heart.

When he looked at Mu Zhou again, he made up his mind.

Mu Zhou looked at his bitter and resentful expression, and just glanced at him before looking away.

She didn't care what he was thinking, she was going to get down to business.

Mu Zhou came to a large escape room.

They are recruiting an NPC to play a female ghost. The salary is good, and Mu Zhou just happens to be short of money.

Although Gu's parents will definitely give her living expenses, Mu Zhou is an adult after all, and she also wants to be self-reliant.

Now that the college entrance examination is over and summer vacation is approaching, it is the peak season, so the store manager quickly let Mu Zhou take up his post.

Mu Zhou changed into a Lolita-style dress that was deliberately made to look old.

There is a crinoline under the skirt, which spreads out the layers of skirt. The complex court style is quite noble, but because of the worn fabric, it has a hint of weirdness.

Mu Zhou put on makeup, put on an exaggerated white wig, and went to his room.

The theme of this escape room is the secrets of the ancient castle. It has some horror elements, but not many. The main focus is still on love, and the target users are couples.

A little bit of micro-terror is just enough to allow couples to have more intimate contact.

Mu Zhou was lying in the office bored and almost fell asleep.

Her job is to lie in this luxurious coffin, wait for someone to come, open the mechanism, suddenly sit up to scare them, and then lie down again to wait for the next wave.

The escape room is very large, with more than ten levels. In addition, it is well-made and there are many customers, one after another.

Mu Zhou does so many sit-ups every day that he feels like his abdominal muscles are about to show.

It’s just that someone booked the entire place today, so the first wave of people hasn’t reached Mu Zhou yet.

Finally hearing the sound, Mu Zhou concentrated her attention. After the sound of the central control prompt came from the headphones, she turned on the switch and sat up suddenly.

As expected, screams were heard. Mu Zhou turned his head stiffly to look at the two couples hugging each other, revealing his exaggerated makeup, and heard the second wave of screams as he wished.

She lay back down contentedly.

After this happened three times, the fourth wave still did not come.

Mu Zhou remembered that the store manager said that the people who booked the entire restaurant today would be divided into four groups, and then they would be able to leave work early.

Logically speaking, there is still one last wave.

No one came yet, and Mu Zhou felt a little bored.

After a while, she heard a sound and thought that the fourth wave had finally arrived, but after waiting for a while, there was still no prompt in the headphones.

She called softly, but the central control still didn't respond.

Mu Zhou lay there, not sure whether he should get up or not.

Just as he was hesitating, he realized that the mechanism had opened by itself.

Before she could stand up, a figure suddenly hovered above her.

She screamed uncontrollably, her hands covering her mouth, her eyes wide open.

Only after seeing the handsome face clearly did she breathe a sigh of relief and take her hand away.

"Lu Yan?!"

That’s right, this person is Lu Yan.

He did not stand up, but still supported himself with his hands on both sides of the coffin, lying above Mu Zhou, looking at her with a smile.

Mu Zhou supported himself with his arms and tried to sit up, but he saw that he didn't move. At this time, the distance between them was shortened. Mu Zhou didn't continue to sit up, but just maintained this half-supporting posture.

Lu Yan moved his body, but did not leave. Instead, he changed his posture, supporting his chin with one hand and placing the other hand on the coffin, just blocking the direction in which Mu Zhou wanted to get up.

He curled his lips, a casual smile on his face: "Which level is this, Sleeping Beauty? Do I need a kiss from the prince to pass it?"

As he spoke, he actually moved closer.

Mu Zhou was so scared that he covered his mouth with his hands.

As a result, his body lost its support and fell straight backwards.

There is a coffin behind me. If I lean back like this, the back of my head will definitely be hurt.

At this moment, Lu Yan bent down nervously, stretched out his long arm, and put his hand on the back of Mu Zhou's head. There was a dull "bang" sound, and Mu Zhou's head hit something soft.

She realized something and looked back, and sure enough, she bumped into Lu Yan's hand.

Seeing that she was fine, Lu Yan pulled his hand back and shook it nonchalantly, leaving obvious red marks on the back of his hand.

Mu Zhou felt a little embarrassed, but then he felt better when he thought that he was the one who had deliberately scared him first.

She sat silently in the coffin without saying a word, just glancing at Lu Yan and his injured hand from time to time.

Her makeup at this time was very exaggerated. Her face was painted pale and had several cracks. There were sequins on her red and black eyeshadow, her super long false eyelashes were flickering, and there were a few drops of blood and tears flowing down the corner of her right eye. She had a thick layer of black paint on her lips.

The makeup that should have been weird, but because of her guilty conscience and furtive gaze, it looked inexplicably cute, which hit Lu Yan's cute spot.

He couldn't help but chuckle, stood up, put his injured hand in his pocket, and stretched out his other hand towards Mu Zhou:

"Get up, your colleagues are all off work."

Mu Zhou was shocked and stood there in a daze.

Lu Yan had no choice but to bend down again, grab her wrist and pull her up.

"Come on, accompany me to complete the rest of the levels."

Mu Zhou was pulled out of the coffin by him, and only then did he remember to ask him what was going on.

Why did her colleague leave work?

Lu Yan walked in front and answered calmly: "Because, I am the boss here."
