Chapter 3442: Feeling Depressed

Atlas Studios Atlas Studios

However, the smell wasn’t strong. It was a faint smell.

And even the air tasted sweet.

Han Zhuofeng tossed and turned on the bed. He couldn’t sleep.

If he went back now, Xie Jiling would beat him to death.

As such, Han Zhuofeng closed his eyes, but he couldn’t sleep and stayed up until 7 am.

It was his first time being so happy when getting out of bed.

He quickly prepared himself and left the room.

He turned and knocked on Xie Jiling’s door. “Jiling!”

After a few seconds, Xie Jiling opened the door.

When Xie Jiling saw Han Zhuofeng, her face darkened.

Why was he everywhere?

“Let’s go! Aren’t you going to the filming location with us?” Han Zhuofeng said with a grin. He didn’t think he was being disliked.

“Let’s go.” Xie Jiling said.

At this moment, Yan Zhiqing’s door opened as well.

Yan Zhiqing and Wei Wucai were seen walking out of their room.

When Yan Zhiqing saw him, she lifted her brow and said, “Yo, why didn’t you call us?”

Han Zhuofeng answered without thinking at all. “Back then, Brother Xiao Cai only knew to knock on your door. He had never done the same to us.”

Yan Zhiqing froze and looked at him with a strange expression.

Was this dude pursuing Jiling?

Unfortunately, Han Zhuofeng didn’t realize what was wrong.

Xie Jiling, being very dense, didn’t realize what was wrong with what Han Zhuofeng said.

Yan Zhiqing felt emotionally tired.

At this moment, Shi Xiaoya and Han Zhuoling came out of their room.

However, the two came out of their rooms a little too late, so they didn’t hear the conversation.

Yan Zhiqing couldn’t ask Shi Xiaoya to cooperate with her.

She then poked Wei Wucai on his waist.

At this moment, Wei Wucai immediately understood what his girlfriend wanted. He looked at Han Zhuofeng with his peach-blossom eyes.

He said softly, “Back then, I was knocking on Zhiqing’s door because I was courting her. I wasn’t courting you, so why would I knock on your door?”

Yan Zhiqing thought about it happily. Wei Wucai had a difficult time back then.

He even pretended to be gay to court her!

It couldn’t be helped. She was too pretty and too cute. Obviously, Wei Wucai couldn’t forget her when he saw her for the first time.

Yan Zhiqing was no longer the person back then who had just discovered the truth.

Han Zhuofeng finally realized what was wrong.

After all, Wei Wucai had stated it very clearly.

But before Han Zhuofeng could explain…

They heard Shi Xiaoya exclaim, “What do you mean? What did Zhuofeng do?”

Yan Zhiqing immediately answered, “Zhuofeng just knocked on Jiling’s door, reminding her to leave together. I asked why he had only called Jiling and had not called us at all. He said that Xiao Cai had only knocked on my door and no one else’s door back then.”

Yan Zhiqing smiled and said, “You heard how Xiao Cai responded to him.”

Beams of light shot out from Shi Xiaoya’s eyes. She hurriedly asked Han Zhuofeng, “That’s true. Xiao Cai had done that to court Zhuofeng. That’s why he didn’t call us. Why are you doing this?”

Han Zhuofeng was speechless. “…”

He subconsciously looked over at Xie Jiling.

Han Zhuofeng didn’t think much about it. He just wanted to wake Xie Jiling up.

His focus was on calling Xie Jiling, so he didn’t even think about calling others.

It was also because Shi Xiaoya and Yan Zhiqing both had significant others. They didn’t need him to wake them up.

However, he really didn’t think about them at all.

Why?

Han Zhuofeng started pondering.

Xie Jiling thought it was weird. Why was he looking?

Was he waiting for her to give an explanation?

Even after waiting for a while, Han Zhuofeng still remained silent.

Because Han Zhuofeng didn’t want to explain at all.

If he gave an explanation, it would seem weird.

If he explained, the explanation wouldn’t actually be his honest opinion.

As such, he decided not to explain.

When Xie Jiling saw him behaving this way, she understood it as him really needing her to provide an explanation.

Xie Jiling thought to herself. Why was Han Zhuofeng so troublesome?

Not only did he need her to exorcise, but he also needed her to explain for him.

Xie Jiling had no choice but to say, “He said that he feels safe to be with me. I protect him against all evil.”

Han Zhuofeng was speechless. “…”

Han Zhuoling didn’t know what to say. “…”

Shi Xiaoya was dumbfounded. “…”

Wei Wucai was at a loss for words.

Yan Zhiqing had no idea what to say.

The four of them wanted to laugh.

The four of them felt exhilarated, especially when they saw how Han Zhuofeng looked like he was feeling depressed.

No one could help Han Zhuofeng. He had been the one who said this, so he had to resolve it himself.

“Let’s go.” Han Zhuofeng glanced over at Xie Jiling sadly.

He stopped talking and left with his head drooping.

Xie Jiling stared at his back and thought it was weird. She then looked back at the group.

“What happened to him?” Xie Jiling asked puzzledly.

“I guess he didn’t sleep well.” Shi Xiaoya answered with dry laughter..

Xie Jiling thought about it and agreed. Han Zhuofeng had slept on the carpet for the entire night. It had to be uncomfortable.

So, she nodded. She didn’t doubt that explanation at all.

While Xie Jiling was walking in front of them, Shi Xiaoya sent a message to the group chat that they had created last night because of Han Zhuofeng. “Zhuofeng is so pitiful.”

Yan Zhiqing nodded and said, “Yes. Jiling is still young. She still has no idea about these things.”

Wei Wucai said, “It’s his fault for being a pervert and liking a girl so young.”

Han Zhuoling said, “Who are you calling a pervert?!”

Han Zhuofeng had no idea that he was being the object of ridicule in the group chat.

When Han Zhuofeng was in the car, he had nothing to do and opened his WeChat.

He then saw the four people taking turns roasting him in the group.

Although there weren’t many people in the group, many messages had been exchanged. Han Zhuofeng was so angry that he placed his phone down.

He refused to read those messages!

These people were his older brothers and elder sisters-in-law!

Yet, they didn’t even know how to help him.

His brothers had forgotten how he had helped them when they were courting their significant other.

At this moment, Lu Man said, “I thought that Zhuofeng would be one of the three brothers with the most tricks. But I didn’t expect all his tricks to be wasted…”

Han Zhuoli said, “I have no tricks.”

Han Zhuoling was speechless. “…”

What could he say?

Could he say that he had no tricks as well?

That would sound very boring.

They continued chatting until they arrived at Ghost Town.

Ghost Town normally opened at 9 am.

However, there would be a lot of tourists by then, making it really inconvenient for the production crew.

As such, they arrived an hour earlier.

The staff members arrived at 8 am as well.

This way, they could enter Ghost Town with the staff members.

Han Zhuofeng and Xie Jiling, as well as some of the other production crew members, had already gone inside Ghost Town.

So, they were mentally prepared and didn’t show much reaction when they arrived again today.

However, it was the first time for many others.

When they saw those rocks standing straight up, they couldn’t help but hold their breaths.

“This place… is a little scary.” Yan Zhiqing held Wei Wucai’s hand, sticking close to him as much as she could.

Shi Xiaoya, feeling scared, held Han Zhuoling’s arm as well.

Yesterday, when Han Zhuofeng and the team arrived, there were many tourists, and it wasn’t very scary.

But currently, this place was still closed.

Even if the production crew was a big group, the number of people right now was no match against the crowd of tourists from yesterday.

In addition, Ghost Town was huge, making it even more obvious that they were a small group.

As a result, Ghost Town appeared even creepier and scarier.

Thankfully, the staff members were with them and were leading the way.
