The Tianshan Mountains in October were colder than they imagined, and the ski resort was not open, so there were not many activities for them to play.

After Luo Jiamao's inspection, he was going back to continue dry skiing practice.

After this incident happened, Xu Xingli originally wanted to go home directly, but when she asked to go home, the others looked at her suspiciously: "Is it because you are not feeling well? Do you want to go to the hospital now?"

Xu Xingli felt stuck in her throat for a moment. She wanted to rush back to the haunted house to see the "inheritance" left by Yun Yan, but she quickly realized that the more anxious she was, the easier it would be for her to reveal her flaws. Once the system discovered the special features of the haunted house function, she might not be able to use the haunted house anymore.

It has to pick a time for the system to sleep.

But now, in order not to worry her family and friends, she should pretend that nothing happened, continue to travel with them, and take this opportunity to reflect on what went wrong that caused her to be sanctioned by the system.

Back to rationality, Xu Xingli did not adjust his state, but maintained the coherence of emotions, and acted.

She took out her frozen and brittle playing cards and the quick inflation device that was too frozen to be used, and sighed: "My magic props are frozen and damaged, so I don't feel safe."

"..."

Everyone was silenced by this nonsensical, reasonable and very Xu Xingli reason.

Who in a normal person would terminate a travel plan just because a magic prop is broken? !

Tian Ke handed her the SLR camera and the mirror with a face full of liver pain: "You can still use them to perform magic tricks, anyway, whatever comes into your hands can be turned into magic props."

Only then did Xu Xingli recall the set of landscape photos, and quickly took out his mobile phone to look through the group members list of their trip - there is Yun Yan in the group!

Tian Ke leaned next to her, pointed to Yun Yan's head and said, "I wanted to ask before, who is this?"

Xu Xingli: "..."

Tian Ke said: "It shows that you were the one who joined the group. We are not friends with him, and he has never spoken in the group. We don't even know who he is."

Xu Xingli silently set him as special attention, turned off the screen of the phone, looked into Tian Ke's eyes seriously and explained: "It's my friend who went to the snow mountain with me."

Tian Ke didn't respond, just said: "Oh, let's keep it."

Xu Xingli suddenly remembered the picture that Tian Ke drew for her and Yun Yan before the long-distance race at the sports meeting. She dug out the picture and asked, "You still drew him, do you remember?"

Tian Ke blinked blankly, as if he was an unknown passerby, and said: "I didn't pay attention to who it was, I just thought that the composition must look good, the main reason is that you turned your back to us at that time..."

While she was speaking, Xu Xingli carefully observed her expression, and finally confirmed sadly that everyone had indeed forgotten about Yun Yan.

Xu Zhiyuan leaned over, wondering: "Did Xingli fall in love at school?"

"No." Tian Ke quickly explained for her, "She ran 3000 meters that day, and each athlete can only have one accompanying runner. Our class... Hey, who is it? I seemed to be drawing pictures in the rest area , anyway, it's just an ordinary classmate relationship, and I haven't talked much."

Xu Zhiyuan protracted his tone and let out an "oh", a bit eccentric: "Didn't you say that you have many friends? There are also people you don't know?"

"No..." Tian Ke subconsciously wanted to defend himself, but found that Xu Zhiyuan said it to Xu Xingli.

Tian Ke was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Are you two fighting again?"

Xu Zhiyuan raised his head with his hands behind his back, but his eyes quietly fell on Xu Xingli: "She said she found a boyfriend, and she deliberately angered me."

Xu Xingli's eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you remember when I said that? Who was it with?"

When Xu Zhiyuan was asked such a question, he thought about it carefully in his mind, and found that he didn't remember when she said it at all, but only had a vague impression in his mind.

Xu Zhiyuan shook his head, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Oh, I'm getting old, I tend to forget things, and my unlucky girl is still pissing me off."

Except for Luo Jiamao, a group of people flew from Tianshan to Jiangnan, and played the whole small holiday according to the original plan. Xu Xingli observed carefully, and except for forgetting Yunyan, everyone did not have any abnormal behavior.

And the traces left by Yun Yan to this world are also there, but they are either forgotten, or the abnormal behavior is attributed to Xu Xingli.

Like his desk.

When the group leader collected the homework and received it from them, he saw Yun Yan's desk and subconsciously wanted to collect the homework, and then remembered that there was no one here. He sighed and complained to Xu Xingli: "Why didn't you think about it at the time and wanted to buy two sets of books?"

Luo Jiamao added coolly: "She thought I was in the way, so she drove me to the edge of the podium to make room for her ink and snacks."

Wei Xian laughed, and echoed him: "The teacher always wanted to arrange a deskmate for her, but she couldn't take it anymore, so she moved another set of tables and chairs, bought another set of textbooks, and pretended that there was someone here—that's all she could figure out. "

Xu Xingli laughed twice, pretending that what they said was true.

She didn't move the furnishings on Yun Yan's desk. She hadn't seen him for seven days. She carefully wiped the dust off the desk for him, as if the person sitting in this position would come to class in the next second.

The system seems to consume too much energy. From the day after Yun Yan disappeared, it has entered a dormant state without making a sound.

Xu Xingli wasn't sure if it was pretending to be dead or really dormant, and didn't do anything to make it suspicious.

On the first day of vacation, she went home by car with Xu Qianqian, Wei Xian, and Tian Ke as usual. When they got home, Xu Xingli asked Xu Qianqian, "You are the only one at home today?"

Xu Qianqian nodded: "Dad has to work overtime, and Mom is going to a fashion dinner."

Xu Xingli also nodded, and said seriously: "Then I'll go to the haunted house."

Xu Qianqian: "..." As for it?

Xu Xingli didn't put away his schoolbag. He hugged the grimace lantern and walked out. He got into the car without even saying "goodbye".

Xu Qianqian threw her schoolbag on the sofa and sulked herself——Xu Xingli really still hates her, isn't she just pretending in front of her parents?It's annoying, as for being so direct?Would rather go to a haunted house than be in a room alone with her.

Xu Xingli got into the car and had nothing else to do, staring at the lantern in a daze - this lantern was also rebuilt by her, and she knew how many funny faces were inside.

But it seems that one has been added suddenly.

Wen Yue saw her and wondered: "Why did you come here with a lantern again? I have already greeted them, and all the employees know that you are the little boss of our haunted house, and no one does not know you."

Xiaobai hid behind Wenyue, grabbed Wenyue's clothes nervously, and nodded in agreement: "This lantern is weird..."

Xu Xingli put the lantern on the table in front of Wen Yue, and smiled sweetly: "Dear Xiaobai, your little boss wants to eat vanilla and original double-scoop ice cream, can I ask you to help run errands?"

Xiaobai shuddered: "It's weird for you to talk like that... Okay, I'll change a coat and buy it for you when I go out. It's time to buy food too. What will Sister Yue have for tonight?"

Xu Xingli: "I haven't eaten yet, so help me buy food first, and I'll buy ice cream myself later, thank you, Miss Bai."

Wen Yue: "Then invite the little boss to eat the fresh shrimp and fish rolls that are a specialty of the amusement park today. How about another shrimp fried rice?"

"OK." Xu Xingli sent Xiaobai away, and then said to Wen Yue mysteriously, "Your lantern has turned a magic trick for me."

Wen Yue: "Huh?"

Xu Xingli plugged it in with ease, and a glamorous ghost with scarlet eyes suddenly appeared in the center of the lantern.

Wen Yue also wondered: "It wasn't there before...how did you add it?"

After turning on the strange green light of the lantern, Xu Xingli could see clearly the specific appearance of the extra grimace.After removing the bloody filter attached to him by the scary lantern, isn't this Yun Yan's face?

Wen Yue wondered: "Isn't this the little boy you brought last time?"

Xu Xingli looked at her suspiciously: "Do you remember him?"

Wen Yue: "Yes, that boy is quite handsome, and Xiaobai keeps praising you for your good eyesight."

Xu Xingli asked tentatively, "Then...has she mentioned it recently?"

Wen Yue laughed: "It's been so long, how can I mention it every day? Isn't that the boss behind the scenes? She said it in the two days you just left."

Xu Xingli became more and more sure that this haunted house was a paradise that would not be affected by the system.

But at the same time, she also began to suspect, what if the system deliberately left her a trap?

No matter what the result is, she has to insure Wen Yue. She reminded: "Don't tell others about this lantern. It's a secret between the two of us."

"Okay." Wen Yue looked at the lantern solemnly. This was the first time she felt that it was reasonable for the lantern to be complained by tourists.

Now even she wants to complain about Lantern.

It's a pity that there is no way to complain.

Xu Xingli comforted her: "It might be someone else's prank, so don't take it too seriously. Listen to more festive songs recently, and don't get yourself involved."

Wen Yue couldn't laugh or cry, and said seriously: "You are so young, why are you starting to comfort me? The lantern can be placed here with me, I will study it."

This is the second time she has proposed recycling lanterns.

Xu Xingli refused, trying to make his tone playful: "That's no good, you can't avoid me and study secretly, I have to watch, otherwise what should you do if you secretly add something to it?"

Xu Xingli saw that Wen Yue had been in a tense state, so he took the initiative to change the subject: "Is business going well recently?"

Wen Yue showed her the account book, and immediately changed from worrying about weird events to worrying about funds: "It's like that here, to maintain food and clothing, but because it is an ancestral haunted house, you can't throw it away. The new store will be renovated at the end of the year, so don't rush to open the store , especially brick-and-mortar stores, we may not see returns in the short term.”

Xu Xingli cheered and reassured her: "It's okay, my dad said that I can prodigal at will."

In fact, she is more interested in "ancestral inheritance", but in Wen Yue's state, it is not easy for her to ask more questions.

The two gossiped one after another until Xiaobai came back.

Wen Yue asked: "Xiaobai, do you remember the little boy that the little boss brought over last time?"

Xiaobai looked confused: "Ah? When did the little boss bring someone here?"

Just as Wen Yue wanted to remind her a few more words, Xu Xingli pressed her arm: "Don't scare her."

Wen Yue immediately understood Xu Xingli's meaning, and smiled: "I'm sorry, I wanted to make a joke with you."

Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief in an instant, patted his chest as if he had lingering fears in his heart: "I thought I saw a ghost, except for the first time with my aunt, the little boss came by himself after that... Could it be that Sister Yue, besides me, you have Another employee?"

Xu Xingli thought, the special environment of the haunted house must be related to the Wenyue family, but it is not convenient to ask more questions now.

Xu Xingli ate and chatted with them, and mentioned that Xiaobai was chasing stars, Xu Xingli joked that he would turn around and start the omnipotent circle of friends, and try to find autographed photos for her as employee benefits.

After dinner, Xu Xingli said he wanted to take a walk, so he dragged Wen Yue to accompany her to the amusement park, and bought ice cream along the way.

Xiaobai said that he must guard the store and let them play for a while.

After leaving the haunted house, Xu Xingli reminded Wen Yue in a low voice: "Everyone has forgotten him, only we remember him. I don't know what happened now, but if you don't want to get involved in trouble, I advise you to pretend you don't know."

Wen Yue fell into deep thought, she vaguely felt that this matter had something to do with her, and asked Xu Xingli if he needed to find a master to do it.

Xu Xingli was silent: "But what if he really turned into a ghost now? Isn't it harming him to seek the master?"

Wen Yue made up a scene about the unresolved love between humans and ghosts in her mind, patted Xu Xingli on the shoulder and said, "My condolences, but humans and ghosts have different paths."

Xu Xingli: "..." It's really not what you imagined, Yun Yan is clearly not dead!

The amusement park just after the holiday was a bit deserted, tourists in twos and threes, many parents and students in school uniforms were chatting and laughing, apparently to avoid the peak period, so they came to play after school.

Seeing her staring at the balloons held by other tourists, Wen Yue asked, "Should I buy one for you too?"

Xu Xingli shook his head: "No, I'm not so naive."

Five minutes later, Xu Xingli was holding a box of ice cream and a cute rabbit balloon on his wrist, sitting on a chair at the entrance of the haunted house and listening to Wen Yue's storytelling.

Wen Yue: "I'm actually a Taoist descendant."

Xu Xingli: "Inaction?"

Wen Yue said vaguely: "It's about the same. It's the same for any Taoist school. Anyway, it's down here. I can neither catch ghosts nor preach. If you say inaction, you can do nothing. Anyway, I've been guarding the haunted house all my life. As if I were rebellious..."

Xu Xingli suddenly realized, as if he had grasped the truth: "Did you live in the haunted house during your long vacation?"

"How do you know?" Wen Yue wondered, then smiled embarrassedly, and explained, "After all, the salary is three times the salary for the small holiday, and the funds are difficult. The little boss understands."

Xu Xingli: "..."

It turned out to be the case.

From this, we can be sure that Wen Yue can't count on it, and has to watch the haunted house.
