The couple next to them, screaming all the way, caught up.The music in the haunted house was already loud, combined with the screams; it was giving Eranthe a headache.She wanted to leave this spooky place quickly. In her opinion, the haunted house was poorly done, with subpar props. Not to mention the fake hands around, the giant fake python in the corner, and the cold wind blowing through the air.Colin envied the guy next to him. His girlfriend was practically hanging on him, while Eranthe wished she could be further away from him. Her mind was focused on searching every corner of the haunted house.She picked up the fake python, even putting her hand into the snake's head to stir it up, but found no props. She tossed the snake away, frightening the girl who then cried and screamed.Colin: ...The staff in the control room saw this scene and quickly had NPC (non-player characters) go and scare them.Eranthe was about to reach for the big spider on the ceiling when Colin pulled her
"Mr. Rodriguez, please be reasonable and stick to the facts." Eranthe tried to reason. "Why not? As long as I like her, from 80 to 18, I'm willing to indulge her." Colin answered without hesitation. He did what he wanted to do. For those he didn't like, no matter who offered them, it was useless. Did he work so hard to lead the entire werewolf clan just to let others control his life? What a silly question from this woman. Eranthe choked, feeling that this man was completely making excuses. Colin stared at her, and his reddened eyes, whether irritated by something foreign or otherwise, seemed to have a watery luster. Nonetheless, it was better than his usual calm and placid appearance. "As long as a man likes you, no matter how many years older, if he likes you, he likes you, understand?" He said this with great seriousness, as if afraid that Eranthe wouldn't take it seriously. If she treats that guy like a younger brother, does that mean he treats her as an older sister? If she
Acacia, engrossed in the murder mystery game, noticed her and asked, "What's up?"Oriel flicked her hair, "Nothing. I'm just calling Eranthe to see when she'll be back.""Okay."Oriel dialed twice, but there was no response. "Why isn't anyone picking up?""Probably having a wild time with Jayden. Let's continue."In the room, Eranthe pushed Colin away, "You have some bad habits."Colin, caught off guard, almost got kicked off the bed. Irritated, he asked, "What bad habits do I have?""Planting strawberries. You know I'm single now, but you keep planting on my neck. What's your intention?" Eranthe had lost count of how many times she had been tricked by him. He was like a dog marking his territory, always leaving his mark.Colin pulled her into his arms, "Are you so unhappy?""Yeah." Eranthe was too tired to bother with him."Then give me a few kisses.""?" Eranthe looked at him with confusion. Colin raised
Colin took advantage of the situation, sliding up, extending his long legs, and hooking her under the table. "So, will you go back and chat with them, then come out to accompany me?"Eranthe frowned. "When it's dark.""I'll come to pick you up."He said that, and Eranthe was a bit conflicted. "Then I'll have to run back early tomorrow morning. It's so troublesome.""I'll take you. How about that?"Eranthe suddenly felt that if this guy was willing to coax a woman, with this face, no one would refuse."Okay."Colin sighed, "You make me seem like a shady character.""Our relationship is not exactly respectable to begin with, and it's not something everyone can accept."Colin didn't say anything more.After they finished their meal, Colin actually took the initiative to accompany her back to the campsite and, at the same time, went to find Frank and the others.Eranthe saw someone ahead and didn't bother to greet them, just running towards her tent. Colin, hands in his pockets, walked in
"It's like there might not be the next moment after the next second.""In that place, we were each other's only, the last person we would ever see in this life. We even wore skiing helmets, unable to see each other's faces.""He would sing to me intermittently, gently telling me that if we were rescued, he would take me to see the most beautiful sunrise because our encounter was too beautiful. Honestly, at that moment, I thought I had fallen in love with him."Eranthe listened with fascination. After all, such life-and-death experiences would indeed make one emotionally dependent on another person for a while."And then?""Later, we kissed. In the darkness, listening to each other's breaths, kissing was the only thing we could do at that time.""When the rescue team arrived, he was already unconscious, and I was almost in the same state. Ironically, in the end, I never saw him.""When you woke up in the hospital, didn't you try to find out about him?""I didn't even know his name. How
Getting up after sitting down would be awkward, so she stayed tensely in her seat, avoiding eye contact with Colin. However, when she raised her eyes, she saw Jayden sitting in the distance, looking at her.Jayden, who was expressionless a moment ago, smiled and waved when he saw her.Eranthe also forced a smile and waved back. Jayden gestured for her to check her phone, probably indicating that he couldn't contact her from this distance.Eranthe shook her head; her phone was out of battery.Jayden seemed to understand and looked a bit disappointed.Just as she was thinking of pulling Oriel over, Frank moved to Oriel's side.Now, she was completely squeezed between the two most eye-catching men. The intense gazes on her felt like they could make her drill into the ground.Her lower back tingled as Colin pinched her. He lifted his wine glass, looking at her. "We meet again, Miss. Taylor."He emphasized the word "again" with a bit of lingering meaning.Eranthe felt her ears burn. "Yes,
Someone commented on the official Rodriguez's Twitter that this was a modern feeling of a restrained male god, and Eranthe just wanted to roll her eyes.While she was lost in thought, something suddenly landed in her lap. Eranthe was startled, only to realize it was the handsome guy with a bronze complexion from earlier, still staring intently at her.Eranthe just realized that in this game of passing flowers, you could throw the flower to someone! And somehow, it ended up in her hands!She was about to toss it to Frank when the host immediately said, "Beauty, it's not cool to pass the blame at the last minute."The people around burst into laughter, except for Colin's group and Jayden sitting in the distance, who remained expressionless.After all, among this group of people who willingly "lowered their status" to join in this childish game just to please Colin, someone actually dared to openly express interest in Colin's woman? Moreover, the thing was thrown by a guy. Wasn't it obvi
Colin watches her in this way, backlit, she seems to be coated in a layer of golden light.It's like that afternoon when he unexpectedly entered her world, listening outside the music room.The vivid and lively image is now presented before him.She is no longer unattainable, even within reach. Although Colin and she once had a passionate entanglement, looking at her now, Colin only wants to hold her hand without any desire.Even Frank, who grew up in an elite family with a background in learning performing arts since childhood, couldn't help but acknowledge Eranthe's excellent playing skills. Her performance seemed to transcend the intrinsic value of the cello itself. He was just curious why someone with such talent chose to work in the hotel industry.As the piece concluded, with the final note fading away, she lifted her head, graceful as a swan, and bowed slowly.Thunderous applause filled the air. She raised her eyes and looked at Colin, finding depth in his gaze.Eranthe handed
