That night, in Fu Zichen’s room.

As he watched the time ticking, he became nervous.

It was only half an hour left until midnight!

Fu Xingxing was joking. She wasn’t really going to explore the haunted place, was she?

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

It was Fu Xingxing!

“Fifth Brother, we have to set off!”

Fu Zichen wanted to play dead. He wanted to pretend to be asleep.

In the end, Fu Xingxing exposed him and said, “Fifth Brother, I saw the light in your room. I know you’re awake! Don’t pretend to be asleep. If you’re a coward, just forget it!”

Fu Zichen was such an idiotic person. Unable to take the provocation, he hurriedly got up from his bed.

He didn’t want to go, but his actions spoke the contrary.

He quickly changed his clothes and opened the door. “Let’s go!”

When they reached the entrance of the laboratory, a gust of wind happened to blow past. Fu Zichen felt a chill run down his spine. He was so regretful that he had butterflies in his stomach. He glanced at Fu Xingxing and said, “Well. Don’t go if you’re scared!”

Fu Xingxing proved her courage with her actions!

She kicked open the door of the laboratory and shouted, “Let’s go! Go in!”

It was just a laboratory. What was there to be afraid of? It wasn’t like it was her first time here!

At the same time, Fu Xingxing turned on her flashlight.

Fu Zichen stuttered, “Hey… Hey. Aren’t you afraid?” As he spoke, he looked around. It was so dark! How terrifying!

There was a dense forest behind the laboratory. It was especially quiet in the middle of the night. From time to time, the cries of birds could be heard, making it seem eerie and strange.

Fu Zichen was shocked and quickly followed Fu Xingxing. “Hey! Fu Xingxing, wait for me! Let’s go together!”

“I’ll protect you!” Fu Zichen found a reasonable excuse.

Fu Xingxing burst out laughing. “Then go ahead! Why are you hiding behind me?”

Fu Zichen continued with a straight face, “Hmm… I’m okay to take the lead, but let me tell you, the scariest part is the back! I’ll help you keep an eye out, you can rest assured and open the way!”

“Alright, thank you for your kindness, Fifth Brother!” Fu Xingxing would never believe him!

Looking at Fu Zichen’s pale and handsome face, Fu Xingxing did not want to tease him anymore! She took the lead and walked around the laboratory according to her memory.

The so-called rumors were all fake. How could there be a ghost here?

People always liked to scare themselves!

For example, right after Fu Zichen entered, he screamed, “Ah! There’s something!” He grabbed Fu Xingxing’s arm tightly.

Fu Xingxing took a closer look. “It’s nothing! That’s our shadow!”

After taking a few more steps, Fu Zichen was so scared that he almost peed his pants. “Ah…What the hell?” Then, he hurriedly covered his eyes.

Fu Xingxing was grinning from ear to ear. “That’s just a specimen from the laboratory!”

Soon after, she heard another scream. “Mommy!”

Why would anyone be so cruel to make butterflies, bats, and so on into specimens? Some were hung on the wall, and some were soaked in transparent containers. In the night, they looked exceptionally creepy.

“Alright, we are done! Shall we go?” Fu Zichen pulled Fu Xingxing along the entire time and did not leave her side.

Fu Xingxing walked around in a circle, but she found nothing. She sighed silently. He had been here!

“Okay!”

Fu Zichen used his actions to prove that he was indeed a coward!

Not only that, but he was also a coward with a stubborn mouth!

As soon as he left the laboratory and reached a bright spot, Fu Zichen patted his chest confidently and said, “Fu Xingxing, how is it? Didn’t I say so? There must be nothing in this laboratory! There’s no need to be afraid!”
