Chapter 181 – I Am Having A Heart Attack
" Here we are" The shop that Shen Li and the others have finalized wasn't a small shop, it was situated in the middle of the busiest street at just a little distance from the tavern. A month ago the shop was one of the bustling shops, it was filled with customers inside and out but today it was completely empty. Not a sign of a single woman or mer could be seen, it was as if the shop has been deserted by its owner long ago. The reason for this scene was actually rather cruel -a month ago, one of the daughters of an official took fancy to the mer son of the owner of this shop, the mer was beautiful and was a boy of good virtue. The daughter of the official wasn't the only one who took fancy to him, many others did too. The official's daughter wanted to marry the mer but was refused, the reason was simple – she was too ugly and fat.
The mer's blatant rejection infuriated the young daughter of the official, she didn't chase him anymore but instead she started to chase off whoever came to marry the mer, the matter wasn't serious at first, the mother of the mer tried to reason out with the official, who promised that she will take care of her daughter, for a month everything was fine, even the mer got happily engaged but then – the official daughter rushed out one day and broke the leg of the fiancée of the mer, the situation went downhill from then onwards- the girl's family broke off the marriage and the mer whose engagement was broken was too stimulated. The girl had pushed him in a corner, in the end, the mer – ended his life by himself right in the middle of the street with a gruesome message written in blood where he blamed the official and his daughter for his death.
Ever since then the shop has been rumoured to be haunted and no one dares to buy it and as for the owner, she and her husband were too saddened by the loss of their son, they wanted to leave the town and move somewhere else.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt" you have surely chosen a good shop for us" commented Xiao Hua staring at the looming building in front of him, though he didn't show it, he was alarmed in his heart. Nit because he was worried that he will not be able to make a successful business here but because, somewhere.. deep down … very deep down he was a bit scared of ghosts … just a little.. just a bit.
Chen Mi turned sullen as he looked at Xiao Hua and unhappily said " If you are so good why don't you find a shop by yourself? This is the main street of the entertainment centre! It's hard to find a shop in this district, why don't you try and see for yourself, if you can find a better shop than this ?" Though Shen Li and Ye Liu said nothing they didn't stop Chen MI either. A shop in this location was a hard find, if not for such a tragedy striking the owner of the shop, they wouldn't have found this place either!
" I didn't mean that… I just .." Xiao Hua didn't want to admit that he was scared of the story and the rumours.. though he appeared as someone who was to be tough and arrogant on the outside, he has a faint heart when it came to ghosts and what not! But he didn't want to admit that he was scared at least not in front of these three and definitely not in front of Yu Dong as for why – humph, he will think of the reason later on with a calm mind! Right now, he needs to stop his leg from shaking! He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he glared at Chen Mi, not wanting to show any fear " I just think it's too gloomy, not at all aesthetically pleasing to my aura !"
Chen Mi raised his eyebrows then turned to look at Xiao Hua whose legs were shaking so much that he looked like he was going to faint anytime soon and smirked cockily " Really? But I think you got scared of the rumours-"
" who- who …w…w..w.ho is scared? I am totally not scared, I am just a little -" Xiao Hua's whose tail was stepped on immediately shrieked like a rooster being chopped.
" Got a little terrified?" Said Chen Mi helpfully, tricking Xiao Hua easily who nodded his head and said " Ye-" he stopped just in time as he realized that he has been tricked, Xiao Hua looked at Chen Mi who was smiling like a little vixen, then at Shen Li and Ye Liu whose shoulders were shaking with the efforts to stop themselves from laughing at him ..even his brother Hanjing was laughing at him!
Xiao Hua immediately flushed red, biting his lips he turned to look at Yu Dong, she wasn't laughing at him but she did look amused, his embarrassment took even a deeper dive as he opened his lips to save whatever was left of his dignity " That's-"
" Are you looking for me?" A croaky voice interrupted him, following this terrifying voice was a gust of chilly voice. The small hair on his neck stood up and then a pitiful, guttural and estranged scream rang around in the street before Xiao Hua ran like a roadrunner and rushed right at the one person who made him feel safe and gave him a sense of stability.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe didn't even look behind him and just rushed in the embrace of the person, hugging them tightly he shook like a leaf in a storm.
A strong and warm hand smoothed his hair on his back before the person he was hugging said in a soft voice " Are you okay ?"
" I-" only then did Xiao Hua realize what he just did, he looked up at once .. and his eyes met with Yu Dong's .. he was hugging her! He was actually hugging her! His heart thumped crazily as if it was going to jump right out of his chest. He blinked his eyes at her …why .. why was she shiny and all? Were his eyes playing tricks on him and what was wrong with his heart?
" Xiao Hua?" Looking at his pale complexion, Yu Dong raised her hand to check his temperature. Her palm touched his forehead and Xiao Hua suddenly thought of one thing ' He was going to die right in the middle of the street '. The second her hand had touched him, Xiao Hua felt his heart jump to his throat .. not good if this goes on he will die right here!
He grabbed Yu Dong's hand and immediately felt a zap in his fingers and when she tilted her head with that f*ckingggggg cute expression, he felt like his heart was being crawled upon by thousands of ants and all he wanted to say was ' step on me, mommy'. But instead of that, he said what he felt "It's not good I am having a heart attack !"
Yu Dong "….." huh? ( ?◇?)?
Shen Li, Ye Liu, Chen Mi "….." another one huh?
Li Hanjing " pfft hahaha "
