“Cinderella” gave him an indescribable look and remained silent.

Lu Jin silently accepted the shoes, hesitating as he looked at his disgustingly dirty socks.

The NPCs immediately started teasing:

“Cinderella, can’t wear the shoes.”

“Yeah, can’t fit?”

“No problem, just cut a piece off.”

“Tie them up, let’s go to the bridal chamber.”

Lin Yan: “…”

Lu Jin: “…”

Being an NPC here was indeed a peculiar role.

Lu Jin imitated their tone: “Thank you, kind person.”

The NPCs chorused, “You’re welcome, it’s our pleasure.”

Lin Yan calmly continued, “Hurry up, I…”

Before he could finish his sentence, both the NPCs and Lu Jin turned to look at him.

Lu Jin mouthed, “Keep the formation.”

With a cold expression, Lin Yan completed his sentence, “…am feeling really cold.”

Seeing his cooperation, the NPCs exclaimed in joy.

Speaking in this manner was quite tiring, and after a while, everyone lost interest.

Lu Jin wiggled his toes, “My socks are too dirty. I don’t want to soil the shoes.”

Lin Yan was taken aback, “Just change them when we get out. Do you plan to keep wearing them like this?”

Lu Jin looked at him and smiled gently, “This was a gift from you.”

Lu Jin’s smile seemed quite mischievous, like a flirtatious playboy who enjoyed teasing young girls. Yet, when he looked at someone seriously, it was as if he saw only that unique person.

Lin Yan was momentarily unsure how to respond.

Suddenly, someone chimed in, “No socks? I can help with that!”

Pushing his way out of the crowd, he tore off the bandage wrapped around his head as he did so.

This NPC was covered in bandages from head to toe, and there were large patches of blood on the bandages.

He was very enthusiastic, “Wrap yourself with this, it’s clean.”

The corners of Lu Jin’s eyes twitched slightly, “Thank you, but…”

Bandage man: “It’s clean, I just wrapped it up today.”

He didn’t wait for Lu Jin to refuse and took off the bandage in two or three strokes.

Resistance was futile.

Lu Jin raised his head and wanted to thank him, but saw that the head of the bandaged man was shaking, and half of it fell off.

Lu Jin: “…”

Walking out of the haunted house, Lu Jin had a feeling of being reborn.

The sunlight poured down, warm and inviting, dispelling much of the chill from their bodies.

To create a chilling effect, the haunted house had the air conditioning on full blast.

Lin Yan had wanted to come out a long time ago, but Lu Jin was nowhere to be found.

The two basked in the sun for a while in silence.

As noon approached, seeing Lu Jin looking a bit downcast, Lin Yan suggested, “Would you like to have lunch first?”

Lu Jin regained his energy: “Let’s eat.”

Lin Yan answered unconsciously: “Children’s meal.”

Lu Jin: “…”

Sensing Lu Jin’s condemning eyes, Lin Yan changed his tune and said, “I will eat it.”

Finally, the two of them ordered two children’s set menus in the restaurant.

The waiter looked at them with a strange expression and walked away with the menu.

Lin Yan took a few sips from his glass, “I thought you weren’t going to eat this.”

Lu Jin was looking at the child at the next table, and pointed to the toy in the child’s hand and said, “But they gave Doraemon, who can refuse Doraemon?”

The children’s set menu included a Doraemon toy that could walk when you pulled a string, and the bamboo dragonfly on its head would spin around.

Lu Jin was almost instantly smitten by it.

He immediately abandoned the idea of getting a manly meal.

Lin Yan sighed, “As you wish.”

He wasn’t particularly attached to toys, but seeing the slightly expectant look on Lu Jin’s face, he couldn’t help but curve his lips.

The smile was fleeting.

Lu Jin didn’t notice, but the audience who had been observing Lin Yan closely did.

[That handsome guy admiring Doraemon, can you turn your noble head to look at your wife? How can you miss such a sweet smile]

[Isn’t this kind of dog blood drama? The prince looked at Cinderella, but Cinderella looked at Doraemon, the same bed with different dreams.]

[I’m crying, I’m crying, why does it smell like BE when they have a meal?]

“These are your children’s set menus. Enjoy your meal.”

“Also, two bibs are included. You can use them at your discretion.”

The waiter suppressed a smile, put down the set meal and bib, sneaked a few glances at the two of them, and left with the tray.

Lin Yan: “…”

Who wants to use a bib?

He wanted to put the bib aside, but Lu Jin picked up the bib and looked at it, commenting: “It’s a bit small.”

Lin Yan: “…”

What on earth.

Lin Yan looked at him helplessly, “Do you want a larger bib?”

Lu Jin: “Not really, it’s a bit silly.”

Lin Yan: “Well, there’s hope.”

Lu Jin: “…”

“Huh.”

Lu Jin suddenly discovered that the two Doraemons were different.

“Excuse me.” Lu Jin waved the waiter over and pointed at the Doraemon toys, asking, “How many different types of Doraemon are there?”

Waiter: “There are ten types in total.”

Lu Jin seemed to be pondering something.

Lin Yan put down the knife and fork, “Wait…”

It was too late.

Lu Jin had already blurted out, “Give me eight more, packed to go.”

Lin Yan: “…”

The waiter hesitated for a moment, then added the eight more portions to their order on the tablet.

Lin Yan said expressionlessly, “Eight portions, you can eat them yourself.”

Lu Jin had ordered so many meals on a whim, and now that he had placed the order, he didn’t bother to cancel it.

Scratching his cheek, Lu Jin dryly coughed, “Actually, it’s okay. We can have lunch, dinner, and supper.”

Lin Yan said, “…I don’t really feel like eating that much.”

After they finished their meal, they sat and waited for a while.

During this busy time in the restaurant, it took some time for the eight additional portions to be prepared.

Lu Jin received a phone call and stepped outside to answer it.

Lin Yan was so bored that he turned on his phone and browsed Weibo.

He opened his alternate account and found a 1 in the upper right corner of the message.

Curious, he clicked on it and found that he had gained a new follower.

He glanced at it, and this sole follower was someone named “A Skillful Heart Thief.”

He frowned slightly and simply removed the only follower.

The Skillful Heart Thief didn’t seem to be online, as there were no private messages from them.

Lin Yan then clicked on the trending topics and realized that they were once again dominating the hot search rankings.

The video clip of them inside the haunted house had surged to the top of the hot search list.

The scene where Lin Yan handed Lu Jin his shoes at the exit was playfully dubbed by netizens as “The Ghost King’s Forced Marriage.”

—The blood on the bandages symbolized the Haunted King’s favor.

—The glass shoes don’t fit? No problem, just cut off a piece!

—You’re not my predestined partner? No worries, I’ll turn you into one!

—”The Ghost King’s Little Lover: Cut You Three Hundred Times, Don’t Even Think About Running”

Lin Yan still wanted to scroll down, but Lu Jin came back after answering the phone.

He can only put away the phone first.

Just in time, the waiter came over with a large package of packed children’s meals.

She meticulously took out all the toys, packed them in another bag, and said, “Hello, here are your orders.”

Lin Yan looked at Lu Jin and remarked, “Don’t you find eating just this a bit monotonous?”

At least buy something else to complement it.

Lu Jin pondered for a moment and agreed, “You’re right.”

He pointed to the flowers and candle holders on the table, then turned to the waiter and asked, “Are these for sale?”

Lin Yan deadpanned, “… I wasn’t asking you about that!”
