Accidentally Married to the Big Shot

Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Jealousy

Su Meixi asked, “What’s there to be afraid of? Everything here is fake.”

“But I’m scared, sister, can you stay with me?”

Su Meixi glanced at her and recognized her as the young girl whose boyfriend had pushed into the zombies; her companion had called her Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan was indeed terrified; her face had gone pale and her eyes brimmed with tears.

Su Meixi felt pity, so she said, “Fine, then follow me.”

“Thank you, sister!” Zhou Yuan quickly grabbed Su Meixi’s arm.

Su Meixi glanced at Zhou Yuan’s hand. She had been used to being alone from a young age and wasn’t accustomed to physical contact with others, so she felt uncomfortable at first, but seeing Zhou Yuan’s pale face, she did not refuse.

…

The second and third levels also passed quickly, and then they reached the last level.

The last level was the most terrifying. The story was set like this: The people who had been living well had killed someone, and then they were killed by a few doctors who fought back, but these people turned into fierce ghosts.

The combination of a good life and fierce ghosts made it even scarier!

At this level, Zhou Yuan clung to Su Meixi so tightly that she bruised her hand.

Su Meixi couldn’t help but ask her, “If you’re so scared, why did you come?”

“It was my boyfriend who wanted to come,” Zhou Yuan said. “He has wanted to try this haunted house for a long time, and I had no choice but to accompany him.”

Su Meixi shook her head helplessly, thinking Zhou Yuan must be madly in love.

She wanted to see where Zhou Yuan’s boyfriend was and found him clinging to Gu Wei.

Gu Wei was surrounded by several people, both boys and girls clinging to him.

Some grabbed his arm, others hugged his leg; Zhou Yuan’s boyfriend couldn’t get close, so he pulled on Gu Wei’s T-shirt, almost stretching it into a dress.

Su Meixi couldn’t help but feel both irritated and amused.

…

Finally, they passed the last level and exited the last door of the escape room, returning to the lobby.

After such an ordeal, some felt like they had been reborn from a catastrophe, some were thrilled and planned to play again, while others were pale-faced and never wanted to play again.

Zhou Yuan’s boyfriend came over to pull her, but Zhou Yuan refused, still clinging to Su Meixi.

“Zhou Yuan, what are you doing? It’s time to go back to school.”

“Li Feng, you’re now my ex-boyfriend, I’m breaking up with you.”

“Why?” Li Feng asked.

“And you still ask why? You know I’m most afraid of ghosts, but you just left me alone in there.”

“But I was really scared too, you know I’m afraid of ghosts as well, besides you made it out too.”

“I don’t care, I just don’t like you anymore!” Zhou Yuan said resolutely.

Li Feng, also angry, said, “Fine, then cool off, I’m leaving first.”

Zhou Yuan then started crying again, and Su Meixi noticed that Zhou Yuan’s tears really seemed like an uncontrollable valve, able to cry on command.

She couldn’t help but ask, “If you’re so heartbroken, why not chase after him?”

Zhou Yuan wiped her tears and said, “I’m not heartbroken, nor do I regret it, I just feel like crying.”

Meanwhile, she didn’t forget to take out her phone, “Sister, thanks for your help inside, let’s add each other on WeChat, I’ll treat you to bubble tea next time.”

Su Meixi looked at Zhou Yuan, a young girl likely just over twenty, fair and clean, with a round face and pitiable when crying; she couldn’t bring herself to refuse, so she added her.

Seeing Su Meixi and Zhou Yuan exchanging WeChat contacts, the other boys and girls couldn’t help but swarm around Gu Wei.

“Brother, let’s add each other on WeChat too, we’ll call you next time we play this kind of game.”

The girl who had clung to Gu Wei inside also came over, “Brother, let’s add on WeChat, let’s get to know each other.”

Gu Wei turned his head and saw Su Meixi looking at him.

He quickly declined their offer, then grabbed Su Meixi and left.

…

After leaving the escape room venue, Su Meixi and Gu Wei went to a nearby tea restaurant to eat.

Su Meixi thought about how Gu Wei had just hugged a girl inside, and she felt really annoyed.

She ordered a lemon tea, then fiercely jabbed the straw into the cup and took a big, aggressive sip.

Gu Wei watched, confused, not knowing why she was upset again.

“Ah Xi, are you unhappy?” Gu Wei asked.

Su Meixi said, “Why didn’t you add them on WeChat just now?”

“Them? You mean… the people we were playing games with?” Gu Wei was puzzled.

Su Meixi took another sip of her lemon tea. She couldn’t very well say, it’s that girl you hugged, could she? If she did, it would seem like she was being petty.

“Yeah, that group of people.”

Gu Wei retorted, “Why should I add them? They’re practically strangers.”

“That girl said you were very brave and not scared at all, she wants to hang out with you again. Look, I even added a girl,” Su Meixi said.

Gu Wei responded, “That girl likes you, and you hit it off, so it’s fine to add each other on WeChat.”

Seeing an opportunity, Su Meixi pressed, “So, you didn’t hit it off with the others?”

“Not really, we just played a game together, we’re not buddies or anything.”

“So you…” Su Meixi almost blurted out, then why did you hug that girl?

But she held back, only saying, “I saw you got along quite well with them, several of them were even leaning on you.”

Gu Wei was also drinking lemon tea, looking at Su Meixi as he did.

Something was off, she seemed to be insinuating something.

After a while, he seemed to understand and leaned closer to ask her, “Ah Xi, are you bothered by me getting too close to other people, especially that there were girls?”

Su Meixi, realizing she had been seen through, blushed and couldn’t even look him in the eyes.

No, she couldn’t appear as if she were jealous.

She quickly said, “Of course not, I don’t mind at all. You getting close to other people is your business, I can’t stop you from helping them. You hugging them, embracing them, I’m… totally fine with it.”

Damn it, what was I just saying? @@novelbin@@

She quickly took another sip of her tea.

However, because she had taken such a large sip before, the tea was gone.

Gu Wei pushed his cup of tea towards her, and she immediately took a sip.

After drinking, she realized she was drinking his and quickly put it down.

She looked up at the central air conditioning of the restaurant, fanned herself with her hand, and said, “Why is this restaurant so hot, isn’t the air conditioning on?”

Just then, an aunty waitress came over with dishes. The aunty said, “Beautiful girl, our restaurant is just at 26 degrees today, look at the girl behind you, she’s even put on her jacket.”

Su Meixi: “…”

She finally dared to look at Gu Wei.

Gu Wei was looking at her with a half-smile.

He seemed to understand, this must be the legendary jealousy.

Because he had physical contact with a girl inside, she was upset.
