"I said I didn't mean it, do you believe it?"
Do I believe it? I believe you as a ghost! Anyone who believes this is an idiot!
Mai Shiraishi's face turned red, and she couldn't help but grit her teeth and yell. In this situation, no one would have believed it, right?
Full of depression, the girl could only stand up slowly from the ground in embarrassment, patted the dust on her coat, and stared at someone resentfully without saying a word.
Baiyunshan coughed in embarrassment, knowing that the credibility of what he just said was indeed a bit low - even though he did not mean it intentionally, it was really just an accident...
In addition, this was indeed my own problem, so I had no choice but to admit my mistake: "Forget it, it's my fault, um... you weren't hurt, were you?"
As he spoke, he looked at the girl with concern.
"well enough......"
Shiraishi Mai lowered her head and looked down. Fortunately, her winter clothes were thick enough and acted as a suitable buffer, so it was not a big deal if she fell like this. The only injury that could be called an injury was just a scratch on the palm of her hand. Skin, just a few scratches——
Although it still hurts a little...
The girl wrinkled her nose.
"There is also some special medicine for bruises in the cabin, just in case. If you feel pain, just apply some medicine before going back -"
Baiyunshan, who noticed this, thought for a while and then spoke. He turned around and came to the hut based on his memory. He asked the girl to wait in the living room where she usually stayed. He opened the drawer in the cupboard and took out a few things. .
"It should be just a minor injury. I'll use a cotton swab dipped in saline solution to help you clean the wound and see how it goes. If there's no big problem, I'll put a band-aid on it and that's it. But be careful. It might hurt a little later, please bear with it for a while—"
The girl nodded obediently.
After the explanation, Bai Yunshan lowered his head and picked up the girl's hand and looked at it carefully. The wound was similar to what he expected, just a scratch. At first glance, it was a little conspicuous on the girl's fair and delicate skin. A little blood slowly oozed out, but it wasn't serious.
So I made up my mind and slowly concentrated on treating the wound.
Mai Shiraishi's face slowly turned rosy. At this moment, with the guy in front of her holding her hand so close, she could almost smell his scent. The girl was still a little shy after all.
Especially the way the other party looked at his palm meticulously. After a while, he always had a strange feeling in his heart. Even holding his hand, he felt some inexplicable warmth, which made people reluctant to move. He wiped the wound with a wet cotton swab. The slight stinging pain seemed to be mixed with a little numbness——
It's like flirting...
This thought suddenly appeared in her mind for no reason. Shiraishi Mai was shocked by herself. She quickly shook her head vigorously to get the thought out of her mind, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
However, as time went by, the situation just now did not improve. While the girl's face became redder and redder, the atmosphere became more and more weird.
Baiyunshan naturally gradually noticed this. To be precise, he caught a glimpse of the girl's slightly rosy face under the light from the corner of his eye, and he roughly guessed it.
So after thinking about it, he coughed lightly and took the initiative to break the silence.
"Um?"
Noticing the girl's questioning gaze, Bai Yunshan looked calm and said calmly: "It's nothing, I just feel it's a little too quiet and I'm not used to it... By the way, Bai Shi, do you want to hear a story?"
"story?"
Mai Shiraishi's face was stunned.
"Yeah, I suddenly thought of an interesting story. Do you want to hear it?"
"Hmm...okay."
Anyway, they had nothing to do, and they could temporarily divert the shy and awkward atmosphere just now. The girl didn't hesitate for too long, nodded lightly, smiled, and looked at him curiously.
Seeing that the girl's attention was indeed attracted by his words, and her face gradually returned from shy and rosy to normal, Baiyunshan smiled slightly in his heart.
Without pausing for too long, he cleared his throat and continued to clean the wounds on his hands while slowly telling a story.
"The story I'm going to tell you is a horrifying rumor that happened very early on in a ruined temple on a barren mountain -"
"?"
"It is said that this dilapidated temple used to be a place for businessmen and travelers to take a rest and shelter from the rain. Although it was a little dilapidated, nothing strange happened until a young girl died inexplicably. Here, some bizarre rumors gradually appeared——"
The smile on Mai Shiraishi's face gradually stiffened.
"The girl's death was extremely miserable, her skin was pale, her eyes were rounded, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying, her limbs and facial features were all twisted into a ball, and several days had passed since she was discovered. The corpses are all rotting——"
"..."
Mai Shiraishi's face was expressionless, she just looked at someone and raised her eyebrows little by little.
"Everyone who has seen the body has concluded that the girl definitely did not commit suicide, but how she died cannot be explained. The only thing that can be known is that since then, this ruined temple has become a taboo in this neighborhood, because Whenever dusk approaches and night falls, there will always be some strange sounds inside, like nails scratching on a wooden board—"
"etc!"
Shiraishi Mai finally couldn't bear it any longer and took the initiative to speak, loudly interrupting someone's increasingly immersive story.
Baiyunshan looked unhappy when his story was interrupted. He had just entered the feeling, but was interrupted in a blink of an eye, so he raised his head with a strange expression: "What's wrong?"
The girl took a deep breath, twitched the corners of her mouth, and said, "Baiyun Sang, do you... still know who I am?"
"Aren't you Shiraishi?"
Baiyunshan was surprised at this moment, then he touched his chin, looked at it carefully, and opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Did I admit that I was wrong?"
A black line appeared on Mai Shiraishi's forehead, and she said quietly: "Since you still know it's me, you deliberately tell such a scary story at this time. Do you think you think I haven't been frightened enough today..."
"Ah, sorry sorry-"
It turns out that the problem lies here... Baiyunshan understood instantly. The girl in front of him was well-known for being timid in the group. Of course she was scared to death of stories like hers, but this was what she habitually said when she told stories. A similar-style horror story, but I subconsciously forgot about this——
The girl twitched her lips and showed no apology at all for his apology.
But at this time, the wound on the girl's palm happened to be almost cleaned, and the last band-aid was put on, and it was finally over.
Shiraishi Mai slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and just as she was about to express her gratitude, her eyes suddenly fell into darkness.
