"What do you mean?"
"I mean, this mountain is rather interesting. Liu Zhen Feixu, if you're scared, you should leave now."
"And you?"
"I'm staying here overnight."
"Ah, don't scare me. No one ever said you were brave." Liu Zhen Feixu wiped away a bead of cold sweat.
"I want to see if this mountain is truly haunted."
"Even the experts from the Six Doors were investigating here for a whole night and went insane the next day. You're not going to tell me you're more capable than them, are you?"
"Alright, I don't know if Six Doors is capable or not, but I'm determined to stay here tonight."
Just then, a gust of wind suddenly blew. Liu Zhen Feixu shivered involuntarily. It felt like an unusual wind, and she wasn't sure if it was due to her heightened tension.
"Stop playing around. Let's leave quickly. It's my fault for not understanding the situation beforehand and bringing you here rashly. I thought it would be a romantic night, but it's turned out to be so disappointing." Liu Zhen Feixu looked very apologetic. She decided that once they returned to the city, she would find a technician for Zhou Hong, just to appease him.
"My mind is made up. Don't try to persuade me. I must get to the bottom of this tonight." Zhou Hong directly pried open the lock of the resort and entered the building.
"Zhou Hong, I'm begging you. Are you possessed now?" Liu Zhen Feixu, seeing Zhou Hong's persistent stubbornness, suspected something was wrong.
"Stop the nonsense. If you don't want to leave, then stay with me. Let's experience together if there are really ghosts." Zhou Hong let out a loud laugh.
Liu Zhen Feixu was on the verge of tears. She never expected Zhou Hong to be so daring. However, if Zhou Hong wasn't leaving, she naturally couldn't abandon him.
"Fine, fine. If we really die, or go insane tomorrow, it's your fault." Liu Zhen Feixu glared at Zhou Hong and decided to stay.
"Don't worry, if we're going to die, I'll be there with you."
"Hmph, I really don't know if your brain is malfunctioning. I'm going to check if there's anything to eat in the refrigerator in the kitchen. Before it gets dark, I'll cook something and then hide in our room early." Liu Zhen Feixu quickly went into the small kitchen of the resort. She opened the refrigerator and indeed, there were still many frozen meats and vegetables inside. After all, this place had only been temporarily closed for seven days, and although the resort didn't have many rooms, less than twenty, the travelers staying here needed to eat every day, so they naturally prepared a lot of dishes to keep in the refrigerator.
Zhou Hong sat in the reception hall of the resort, boiling water for tea. It was around three in the afternoon, and there were still several hours until sunset.
Meanwhile, Liu Zhen Feixu was preparing dinner in the kitchen. She wanted to finish eating quickly, find a room with Zhou Hong, and hide under the covers as early as possible. Tonight, she had also decided to share a blanket with Zhou Hong. She certainly didn't dare to stay alone in a room. The entire mountain was empty now, with no one else present except for her and Zhou Hong. Even though it was only three in the afternoon and the sun was still high, Liu Zhen Feixu still felt a chill.
"Zhou Hong, dinner is ready. Come and eat quickly," Liu Zhen Feixu shouted an hour later.
Zhou Hong came to the kitchen and found that several small dishes had indeed been prepared.
"It's only four o'clock. Is it necessary to have dinner this early?" Zhou Hong said with a hint of exasperation.
"Four o'clock is already very late. The sun is setting in the west. In another two hours, it will be gone. Let's finish eating now, find a room, and hide under the covers. Hopefully, we can last the night."
Zhou Hong gave a wry smile and could only have dinner early.
Soon, they finished their meal, and it was already half-past four.
As Liu Zhen Feixu watched the sun sink lower, her heart grew increasingly panicked.
Zhou Hong, however, appeared calm.
"Let's go to the cliff. We'll find an empty room, lock the doors and windows tightly, and hide under the covers." Liu Zhen Feixu grabbed Zhou Hong's hand, no longer concerned about being man and woman.
Zhou Hong reached the cliff face and entered the nearest small house. This small house was suspended from the rock face, appearing quite perilous. However, it was securely fastened to the rock, making it very safe.
But the door to the house was locked.
"Oh no, the door is locked. The key is still at the resort's front desk. I forgot to get it earlier." Liu Zhen Feixu looked dejected.
"Then I'll go get the key. You wait here for me," Zhou Hong said.
"Don't leave me here alone." Liu Zhen Feixu felt terrified. The resort's front desk was still quite a distance away. She couldn't bear to wait alone while Zhou Hong went back for the key.
"You're too timid. Then you go to the front desk to get the key, and I'll wait here for you to bring it back to open the door."
"I don't dare to go get the key alone either. Let's go get the key together."
Zhou Hong was helpless. The sun hadn't even set yet, and Liu Zhen Feixu was already so frightened.
Zhou Hong and Liu Zhen Feixu reluctantly returned to the resort's front desk. As expected, the keys to all the rooms were there.
After getting the keys, they returned to the cliff face and successfully opened the door to one of the rooms.
Liu Zhen Feixu quickly closed the door and locked all the windows.
"It's not even five o'clock yet. Is it that necessary?" Zhou Hong said with a wry smile, acting so nervously that even non-scary things could be frightened to death by oneself.
"Zhou Hong, you're truly too brave. I already regret staying here with you."
"If you want to leave, you still have time. There's no need for you to stay here with me. I can manage alone," Zhou Hong quickly replied.
Liu Zhen Feixu couldn't imagine how Zhou Hong dared to be here alone on this empty mountain.
"Forget it. I brought you here, so how can I leave alone? Unless we leave together."
"Haha, I'm not leaving. I must see what's going on," Zhou Hong laughed heartily.
Liu Zhen Feixu got into bed without even taking off her clothes.
"Zhou Hong, do you want to lie down with me? We don't have to take our clothes off," Liu Zhen Feixu said with a slight blush.
"No need. You sleep on the bed. I'll sleep on the stool." Zhou Hong chuckled. There was a recliner in the room, and if he really wanted to sleep, he could do so on it.
"But...!" Liu Zhen Feixu looked hesitant and fearful.
"What, you can't even handle this?"
"Alright then, but you can't leave me here alone in the middle of the night."
"Don't worry, am I that kind of person?"
"Mhm, mhm." Only then did Liu Zhen Feixu pull the blanket over herself.
The sun gradually began to set.
The entire Tianmeng Mountain became utterly silent, with no sound to be heard. Only Zhou Hong and Liu Zhen Feixu remained in a room on the cliff face.
