SAYE [Run Freely]

Chapter 60

"Okay," Hu Feng answered immediately.

They endured having to shut their mouths for a few moments before bursting into laughter again.

Gu Fei turned around and looked at them, then glanced at Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng came up and walked alongside him: "These people must be high on rat poison.[1]"

"Aren't you often high on something too?" Gu Fei asked.

"Bullshit," Jiang Cheng replied, but then recalled all the times he and Gu Fei laughed idiotically in the past few months. He felt stupid just from the thought of it and sighed again, "It's probably only when I'm with you that it seems like I'm on something, don't act like you're any better."

"We're still young after all," Gu Fei said.

The side entrance was very small and not very eye-catching; there were a total of only two people at the ticket booth, a man and a woman.

Gu Fei walked up to the man and handed him the ticket in his hand. The person glanced behind him and counted the number of people, lowered his head, and punched a few holes through the ticket. He then scanned their IDs with his eyes, and let them in.

"That guy looks familiar ah?" Jiang Cheng thought about it once they were inside.

"Liu Fan's older brother," Gu Fei smiled.

"Ah?" Jiang Cheng was startled, "He looks a lot more proper than Liu Fan."

"Liu Fan will also be proper in a few years," Gu Fei said. "That's just how these people are. They fool around for a few years before eventually returning to the supposedly "correct path" and then try to make do for the rest of their life - fall in love, marry, and have children - unperturbed and tranquil, their whole life would be spent like this."

"Is that so?" Jiang Cheng glanced at him. Gu Fei had said all of that in total calmness, but once he finished, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt melancholic.

"At least that's what it all looks like on the surface," Gu Fei said smiling. "In terms of whether they have any other ideas going on inside, I wouldn't know, but who wouldn't develop thoughts of some sort ne? Even Wang Xu has thoughts of opening up a flatbread shop in some big city nearby."

And you?

Jiang Cheng really wanted to ask, how about you?

Do you plan on following this "correct path" also, and like all the people around you, spend the rest of your life like that?

But he didn't ask.

He once again thought back to Gu Fei's question.

The haunted house was situated at the far end of the park and hadn't always been a property of the park. As the renovation of the park went on for the last two years, that area of land got circled into the same property. The haunted house was previously an old, abandoned factory that occupied quite a bit of space.

"This place used to be an abandoned graveyard," Pan Zhi read from the brief introduction of the haunted house. "In which buried beneath are nameless corpses......"

"Aiya, that sounds so scary," Li Yuqing said.

"After the completion of the factory, strange things started to occur consecutively..." Pan Zhi continued to read. "Those that worked the night shifts would frequently hear sounds of singing coming from the empty rooms with no one in them..."

"Fuck," Jiang Cheng whispered. "They made it sound so real."

"What if it really is real ne?" Gu Fei answered back. "We do have a lot of abandoned and wild land here, along with many graveyards. Many of the schools were also built on top of graves."
