Chapter 901: I Am Fatty from Back Then (5)
Long Feiting seemed to know that she was afraid that something would happen, so he did not say anything else.
Mu Huan walked around the place and, although she couldn’t find the exit, she found a place where there was light above. The surroundings looked relatively clean and safe, so she came back first and asked Long Feiting and Li Meng to wait over at that place. After all, she didn’t know how long it would take for them to get out of the maze. It would be safer to save some phone power.
After bringing them to the place where she had found the light, Mu Huan realized that Long Feiting’s breathing was a little rapid. Something was amiss.
“What’s wrong? Are you injured?” she asked with a frown. It wouldn’t be easy to get out of this place. If the two of them were injured, it would be even more difficult.
“I’m not injured,” Long Feiting said.
“Then why are you breathing so fast?” As Mu Huan spoke, she felt his pulse. Although it was beating fast, it was very strong. He should be fine.
“I don’t like dark places.” Long Feiting had been locked in a dark basement when he was kidnapped when he was young. This had left a shadow in his heart. He didn’t like such dark basement environments. In the dark underground, he couldn’t control his panic and his breathing had quickened.
When he first fell, he didn’t have time to be afraid. After Mu Huan left, he looked at the dark surroundings and the narrow space. He couldn’t help but recall the feeling he had when he was young. He started to panic and his breathing quickened.
Mu Huan: “You have fear of the dark?”
Li Meng: “No way! You’re already an adult, yet you’re still afraid of the dark? Then how do you spend the night?”
“I’m not afraid of the dark!” Why would he, Young Master Long, be afraid of the dark?! He’s not a three-year-old kid!
“Aren’t you afraid? What’s with your reaction now, then?” Li Meng asked. If he didn’t dislike darkness, what else could it be?
“I just don’t like this dark environment that’s similar to a basement!” He would only be like this in such a place. He wouldn’t be like this in other places, and he wasn’t afraid of the dark or the night!
“Why would you be afraid of such an environment? Did you suffer any injuries when you were young? Were you locked up in a dark basement?” Mu Huan asked.
For an arrogant man like him to be afraid of such a place, it could only be because he had been traumatized in such a place when he was young.
“Yes, I was kidnapped and sold when I was young. I was locked up in a place like this.” Not wanting them to misunderstand, Long Feiting told them about the past. “And this was in the West Mountain!”
“From then on, this became the place I hate the most! I swore I will never come here again!” Yet he was actually trapped in this mountain again!
“Oh, what a coincidence. I was abducted and brought to the West Mountain when I was young, and I was locked up in an environment similar to this.” In order to divert his attention, Mu Huan told him about her childhood.
His reaction was a psychological reaction, not a response brought about by an illness. Once his thoughts shifted, the symptoms would disappear.
When he heard her words, Long Feiting instinctively said, “What nonsense are you spouting? When have you been kidnapped to the West Mountain? Are you saying this to mock me?”
She must be trying to say that she was not afraid of the dark even after being kidnapped and brought to such a place. Meanwhile, he was a man yet he was afraid of the dark. How come it left a shadow in his heart?
“Why would I spout nonsense? I was kidnapped and brought here. I was 11 years old!” Mu Huan broke out in a cold sweat. She had tried to distract him out of goodwill so that he would feel better. He actually thought that she was being sarcastic!
