Green Tea Villainess Fails 49

Chapter 49

There was only one path forward, and they followed it upwards, arriving at a classroom.

The moment Zuo Bian pushed open the door, a white figure flitted past her, but it was too fast for her to see clearly.

Worried that Qin Ai might be scared, Zuo Bian said, “Qin Ai, close your eyes.”

“Mm.” Qin Ai, who wasn’t actually afraid, closed her eyes, leaning closer to Zuo Bian.

Qin Ai’s “dependence” made Zuo Bian feel a sense of responsibility. She felt that she shouldn’t betray Qin Ai’s trust and must protect her.

555 clicked its tongue, chatting with Little Frog through their private channel.

【I think my host is completely blinded by love. She would probably believe it even if Qin Ai, that sly fox, said she had a heart attack and needed CPR.】

[CPR, ribbit? Sounds exciting, ribbit.]

【Hehehe, I also think it’s exciting, but unfortunately, I get censored whenever things get exciting. Tsk, this darn Jinjiang, so inhumane.】

[But you’re not human, ribbit. And I can see, ribbit. Don’t censor me too, ribbit.]

【Nuh-uh, I’m taking you down with me. If I can’t see, you can’t either! Hmph!】

[Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit? You’re so mean, ribbit! ]

【A system isn’t bad if the frog loves it~】555’s tone was full of playful malice.

Even more mischievous than 555 was Zuo Bian’s action. The white figure that had been flitting around must have been an eyesore to her because she suddenly grabbed it, with one hand, while it was still moving.

Staff Member B, controlling the white figure, frantically pressed the buttons. The wire attached to the doll, dressed in a white dress and wig, buzzed and vibrated, trying to retract, but Zuo Bian’s grip was firm.

With a ripping sound, the doll’s head separated from its body, leaving only a head with a long wig floating in the air, making the scene even more terrifying.

Zuo Bian stared at the headless “ghost” in her hand and said instinctively, “Qin Ai, look, it’s just a doll, not a ghost. You don’t have to be afraid.”

Qin Ai opened her eyes and saw Zuo Bian holding the headless “ghost” with one hand.

She said in a flat tone, “So it’s a doll. Thank you for protecting me, I’m not afraid anymore.”

Staff Member B, sitting behind the monitor, thought, Oh! These lovebirds! This is not the place for your PDA! *(Public display of affection)*

He pressed a red button, and the classroom was instantly bathed in a blood-red light. A voice echoed through the room.

“Don’t even think about escaping. Today, you’ll all be my scapegoats! Hahahahaha—”

The sharp, female voice was like a dying person scratching at glass, piercing and filled with despair.

Shadows fell repeatedly from the closed window, the sound of flesh and bones shattering against the ground clearly audible.

The atmosphere was heavy with fear, from the environment to the sound, the smell, and the lighting. Most people would be terrified in such a place.

But Zuo Bian wasn’t like most people. Not only was she not afraid, but she also started looking for clues, trying to explain everything with science and comfort Qin Ai.

She reached into a drawer, pushing aside clumps of hair, and pulled out a megaphone.

“Qin Ai, look, this is what’s making the noise. It’s not scary at all. But the person who put this in here seems to have a serious hair loss problem. They’ve lost so much hair.” Zuo Bian shook her hand, sending strands of hair flying.

Qin Ai bit her lip to suppress a smile. “Mm, not scary.”

As Zuo Bian was putting the megaphone back, she accidentally pressed something, and a deafening voice boomed from it.

“Mommy, I want roasted yam! I want it! A big piece! Are two pieces enough? Enough, thank you, Mommy, you’re the best~”

【That’s even cheesier than me.】

[Does roasted yam taste good, ribbit?]

Staff Member B, sitting behind the monitor, slumped in his chair in despair. He had been watching too much Douyin (TikTok) and accidentally added that audio clip.

It was over, the reputation of their haunted house was ruined. People wouldn’t be scared to death, they would be laughed to death.

Qin Ai massaged her temples, a helpless smile on her lips, but her eyes were filled with tenderness.

Zuo Bian led Qin Ai out of the haunted house, their hands still clasped. No matter how terrifying the scene, with Zuo Bian there, it couldn’t be scary. It was more comical than anything.

Qin Ai, who had been “protected” the entire time, was in a good mood. She realized that amusement parks were actually quite fun, especially this haunted house.

Zuo Bian, on the other hand, felt guilty. She found a staff member and apologized for accidentally damaging the props, asking how much she needed to compensate.

Hearing Zuo Bian’s description, Staff Member C waved his hand. “Don’t worry about it. You know Barbie dolls, right? That doll is structured the same way, the head can be detached. Just put the head back on, it’s no big deal.”

Zuo Bian nodded, although she didn’t actually know how Barbie dolls were structured. But since the staff member said it was fine, she felt less guilty.

Not far from the haunted house exit was a souvenir shop. Zuo Bian pointed at it excitedly. “Qin Ai, let’s go take a look, okay?”

“Okay.”

Zuo Bian’s eyes were drawn to the various headbands hanging on the wall. She picked up a white cat ear headband and held it up to Qin Ai’s head. “Qin Ai, what do you think of this? I think it suits you.”

Qin Ai lowered her head. “Put it on for me.”

“Okay.” Zuo Bian smiled and placed the headband on Qin Ai’s head.

Qin Ai picked up a black cat ear headband. “Let’s get one each.”

“Mm-hmm.” Zuo Bian let Qin Ai put the black headband on her head. The black cat ears looked harmonious against her black hair, as if she was born with them.

Qin Ai rubbed the fluffy cat ears, her fingers sliding down to gently pinch Zuo Bian’s soft earlobe. “Real ears feel better.”

Zuo Bian’s fair ears turned pink. She turned her head away, trying to suppress her joy, but her upturned lips and crescent-shaped eyes betrayed her feelings.

“I’ll go pay.” Zuo Bian took out her card from her wallet.

【”The White Wolf King’s Little Wildcat Wife”? Even with cat ears, Qin Ai looks like a wolf. She’s definitely plotting to devour the little wildcat.】

Zuo Bian heard 555’s voice in her mind and recalled what had happened earlier, her neck and ears turning crimson.

She had already been devoured.

================

After paying for the headbands, Zuo Bian suddenly felt a wave of confusion.

“Qin Ai, I feel like I’ve forgotten something important.”

A flicker of amusement crossed Qin Ai’s eyes. She knew exactly what Zuo Bian had forgotten but said, “If you can forget it, then it must not be that important.”

Zuo Bian felt that Qin Ai’s words made sense, so she stopped trying to remember.

Meanwhile, Qin Tian was still lying unconscious in the haunted house, looking utterly pitiful.

The scaredy-cat had run until he was exhausted and stopped to rest, only to come face to face with a faceless ghost. He screamed and fainted.

Zuo Bian, however, was oblivious to this. Only after trying all the non-thrilling rides in the amusement park did she remember that she had forgotten about Qin Tian.

“Qin Ai, Xiao Tian seems to be missing!” Zuo Bian was filled with guilt and self-blame.

As Qin Tian’s older sister, Qin Ai was surprisingly calm. “Knowing Xiao Tian, he’s probably still in the haunted house. We just need to go back and find him.”

Qin Ai was always reliable, so Zuo Bian felt relieved. “That’s good. Qin Ai, let’s go back and find Xiao Tian.”

As expected, just like Qin Ai had said, Qin Tian was still in the haunted house, but he was in the break room.

After being scared unconscious by the faceless ghost, he had been taken to the break room by the staff.

Zuo Bian and Qin Ai, the two adults, had enjoyed their time at the amusement park, but Qin Tian, the minor, had a terrible experience. He angrily vowed never to set foot in an amusement park again for three years!

However, Qin Ai saw through his act and said calmly, “If you ever whine about wanting to go to an amusement park again, I’ll confiscate your allowance.”

Hearing this, Qin Tian immediately changed his tune. “Hmm? Did someone say they wouldn’t go to an amusement park for three years? I don’t think so. And what if Older Sister Zuo Bian wants to go? Sister, you’re so busy, I’ll have to accompany her. Right, Older Sister Zuo Bian?”

Zuo Bian could sense his strong desire to survive. She nodded. “Right.”

Qin Ai chuckled softly. “You talk too much. Let’s go home.”

“But Sister, you laughed!” Qin Tian said, following Qin Ai.

“Did I? I didn’t notice.” Qin Ai had already stopped smiling.

Zuo Bian looked at Qin Ai’s profile, thinking how beautiful she looked even when she was being dishonest.

555 knew that its host was truly lovestruck.

=================

A few days later, Zuo Bian had thoroughly mastered the theory test and showed a surprising talent for driving.

Within just a couple of days, she obtained her motorcycle license. Why did she learn to ride a motorcycle first? Because she had told Qin Ai that she wanted to race her, but Qin Ai had pointed out that she didn’t even have a license.

Zuo Bian still remembered that, so she got her motorcycle license first.

After obtaining her motorcycle license, she would get her car license, but she didn’t have time for that now because she had to film a commercial for AB Beverage Factory’s new peach soda.

The filming location was Starlight Entertainment building. Zuo Bian arrived with her agent and assistant. From the moment they entered the building to the elevator ride, Zuo Bian had already seen several celebrities.

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a man suddenly stopped them with his hand. The doors opened again, and the man stepped inside.

Zuo Bian instinctively glanced at him. He was handsome and charming, with three black earrings on his left ear and a nonchalant smile on his lips. He noticed Zuo Bian looking at him and gave her a playful wink.

“Beautiful lady, I feel like I’ve met you somewhere before.”

555 whistled in her mind: My 10 points have finally arrived.
