CH 43

Chu Huai looked at No. 24, who turned off the lights for himself, but it wasn’t because he had a house, a car, no father, and no mother.

The appearance of the ghost is no different from that of ordinary people. At first glance, he looks like a minor, with a weak temperament, but beautiful facial features, he is very pleasing to the eye. 

Chu Huai saw clearly that the sign in front of him read “Ye Yuan”.

Ye Yuan noticed Chu Huai’s gaze, lowered his head, and picked at his fair fingers, he seemed a little shy: “Sister, don’t look at me, I… like men.”

The direction glanced at No. 24 lightly.

Chu Huai’s expression was a little subtle.

Backstage Luo Ziyang’s expression was even more subtle because he had chosen No. 24 as the object of his attention.

After the first round ended, the second recording began to broadcast. Just before the broadcast, two more lights were turned off. The reason was that they didn’t like women who were too active.

Chu Huai was spechless.

In the end, the only person who left the lamp for him turned out to be the person who had a heart attack. Chu Huai looked at his two exposed feet with unexplainable feelings.

The second round is over.

Chu Huai was a little puzzled. According to the program, the last step is to hold hands, but would they make it so easy?

Host: “The next step is the final selection of love. Please invite male guest No. 13 to come to the center of the stage.” 

The handstand ghost went down the steps with both hands amidst the applause, and because of the center of gravity, his body swayed back and forth. He “walked” up to Chu Huai, and his narrow eyes met Chu Huai’s eyes, and he smiled shyly.

Chu Huai looked at No. 13 as his last hope and gave him a perfect smile without showing his true feelings.

Host: “Now we shall reveal Chu Jiao’s pick, it looks like she has picked… No. 13!”

The ghosts in the venue were in an uproar.

Female ghost No. 8: “This is true love!”

Female ghost No. 18: “Congratulations!”

…

No. 13’s rough face turned red amidst the cheering, and with the pockmarks on his face, he looked like a braised crayfish.

Host: “Now it’s time for Chu Jiao to break through the challenges. There are three challenges in total, if you pass all of them, you are allowed to hold hands.”

Chu Huai’s eyes froze. Sure enough, it can’t be that simple.

No. 13 held the microphone to his mouth with a resentful expression: “I have been dead for thirty or forty years. Because I am ugly, my wife committed adultery. When I found out, she and the adulterer beat me unconscious. When I was unconscious, they used a rope to bind my feet, hung me upside down from the beam, and then they eloped, they probably didn’t mean to kill me, but when I woke up, there was a cloth in my mouth, I couldn’t call for help, it was just like that I died in a few days.”

Chu Huai: “…” Wow.

“When I was with my wife, her eyes were always irritable and unkind, full of contempt, so your first challenge is,” no. 13 paused, “you need to look at me, face to face with affectionate eyes.”

He coughed twice: “…does this mean Jiaojiao needs to do a handstand too?”

Luo Ziyang looked at Chu Jiao who was wearing a white dress on the screen, and an involuntarily thought appeared in his mind.

Luo Ziyang: “Jiaojiao… is she wearing safety shorts?”

Jin Tianyi glanced at him coldly, and Luo Ziyang felt a chill run down his spine and laughed uncomfortably while being stared at. 

Luo Ziyang cautiously said: “… she could give up, we are still here anyways.”

Jin Tianyi looked at the screen: “Standing upside down is possible, but there are other ways.”

Chu Huai has already answered for him.

Chu Huai on the stage waved to the host who was tied to the ceiling beam. The host was taken aback for a moment, then turned and stretched herself, bringing her ear close to Chu Huai.

The eyes of No. 13 were full of curiosity and anticipation.

Chu Huai whispered a few words in the host’s ear, and the host nodded at him.

Chu Huai moved, Luo Ziyang thought he was going to do a handstand, and his expression gradually became embarrassed. Unexpectedly, Chu Huai just beckoned No. 13 to come over.

Number 13 was stunned by Chu Huai’s gentle expression as he moved closer in a daze.

Chu Huai and the ghost host on the beam looked at each other. The host instantly stretched herself at her fastest speed, endured the nausea she felt, and grabbed No. 13’s feet with her cold hands.

“Ah!” Number 13 screamed.

Chu Huai folded his arms, took a step back calmly, and watched with a blank expression as No. 13 was hoisted up by the host… and then as he dangled in front of him. 

He swung back and forth for a bit until his body stopped swinging. 

Luo Ziyang: “…” She is truly a ruthless person.

Jin Tianyi: “Your wife is awesome.”

Chu Huai stepped forward a bit and said to the host: “A little higher.” 

The host then pulled No. 13 up further, and Chu Huai’s line of sight was just at the same level as No. 13.

No. 13 was angry, but Chu Huai ignored it.

Chu Huai: “Now that we are ‘face to face’, the only thing left is…”

Chu Huai’s eyes curved like a bright moon suddenly overflowed with deep affection, and the moon dipped into the deep pool.

When No. 13 met such affectionate and clear eyes, the burning anger in his heart disappeared immediately, and a foolish smile gradually appeared on his face.

Host: “Congratulations to the female contestant, Chu Jiao, for passing the first challenge.”

No. 13 was let go and he landed with both hands.

Luo Ziyang was amazed: “…I will dedicate myself to Jiaojiao.”

No. 13 spoke again: “In the dungeon, only those who are seen by me can be killed. On the first night, I entered a tasker’s bedroom, he knew he would die if he was seen, so he hid, but I still killed him anyway, why is that?”

A brain teaser? Chu Huai raised his eyebrows.

Chu Huai answered quickly, “Because he hid under the bed. Your body is upside down, so as soon as you entered the door, you saw the tasker hiding under the bed.”

No. 13 scratched his head with one hand and smiled.

Host: “Congratulations to the female contestant, Chu Jiao, who passed the second challenge. There is only one last thing for Chu Jiao to successfully hold hands!”

Chu Huai also calmed down, ready to face the third challenge.

No. 13 began to look around, with a hesitant expression.

His red eyes looked at Chu Huai again and again, and his neck gradually turned red.

“For this last challenge, I would like to ask, ask…”

Chu Huai’s pretty eyebrows frowned: “What?”

“You, you…” No. 13 didn’t dare to look at the female contestant anymore. Finally said, “Are you willing to… 69 with me?” 

The atmosphere froze instantly.

Chu Huai’s expression twisted for a second, and the veins on his forehead twitched violently.

Backstage Jin Tianyi directly slapped the dilapidated and rotten wooden table.

Luo Ziyang couldn’t hold back: “Hahahahaha!”

Chu Huai took a deep breath. He thought that the difficulty of breaking through the level would rise in a straight line, but the result was a steep decline.

Chu Huai smiled: “Yes.”

He looked at No. 13 blushing, and asked coquettishly, “So can I leave hand in hand with you?”

No. 13 was pleasantly surprised, looked at the host, and said impatiently, “She has passed all three of my tests! I am willing to go with her.” 

The host announced: “The challenges are over and you have successfully held hands with a ghost guest.”

Chu Huai’s face turned cold instantly, and the speed of changing his face was astonishing. No. 13 didn’t react, and his expression was stunned.

Chu Huai smiled again, with crooked eyebrows and charming eyes: “Good brother, I also want to ask you a question.” 

No. 13 hurriedly said: “Ask, ask! I will answer any questions!”

“Excuse me, will you splash yourself in the face when you stand upside down to pee?” 

There was a deathly silence.

No. 13 face began to turn blue and then black.

Luo Ziyang laughed in the background.

There was a roar of laughter in the audience.

Chu Huai smiled innocently on the screen, and Jin Tianyi laughed.

Chu Huai blinked his big eyes, squatted down, and tilted his head to look at No. 13: “Good brother, you haven’t answered me yet.”

Furious, No. 13 yelled at the host, “I don’t agree anymore, she shouldn’t pass!” 

Host: “No, according to the rules, you have already successfully held hands.”

“She was pretending before! That doesn’t count!” Chu Huai stood up while No. 13 was still protesting.

The host looked at Chu Huai: “Does the female contestant, Chu Jiao, choose to play the horror playground with No. 13?”

Chu Huai crossed his arms and said, “No.”

No. 13 was furious.

Host: “No. 13 you should now hand over the clue, then the female contestant can leave.” 

No. 13 didn’t want to comply and wanted to leave, but found out that he couldn’t move at all.

He sneered: “The clue is in my pants, if you wish to take it, grab it yourself. “

Chu Huai raised his eyebrows, his eyes were strange: “Are you serious?”

“You wouldn’t dare? Mabey you can put me in a good mood…” He got stuck in the middle of his sentence and showed a shocked expression. 

Chu Huai didn’t touch his thigh at all, but grabbed his pant leg and pulled them off of him with a look of disgust.

No. 13 immediately felt the breeze. “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” no. 13 made a ghostly cry.

Chu Huai lifted the pants and used two of his fingers to twist out the thin folded paper from the pocket.

“Is this it?” he asked the host.

The host nodded, Chu Huai waved goodbye at No. 13, turned around, and waited for the elevator to come down.

He opened the folded paper and froze for a moment.

There are twenty or thirty phrases densely listed on the slip of paper.
