Yi Sian and Qiang Hao, followed by Lee ran into the deep forest for another hour , exhausted to the bones as Sian's eyes lifted up when she saw a large old stone gate in front of her .
It has carvings of ancient script and art , covered in dust and vines.
Sian stepped forward and touched the closed gate.
" What a fine art ! This door looks so heavy to move and it doesn't have any handles to open either ." Looking here and there , she frowned her eyebrows , " Look there are handprints on this , it looks new, it seems like someone came here before us."
Qiang hao stood beside her as he glared at those handprints , ' Those righteous bastards ! so they were after this too huh .'
" Lee ran , how should we enter this?" He asked .
" Mas-.... I tried pushing this door and also tried to find any hidden openings but nothing seemed to work." Lee ran slowly, eyes trembling.
" Tsk! Useless." Qiang hao glared at him then turned around and sat on a big flat stone .
" Let's search it again and You.." He looked at sian .
Sian pointed at herself , " Me ?"
"Yes you , you'll look for the clue , now hurry up and search for it . " Qiang hao said as he sat comfortably and started fanning himself with his paper fan.
" Why me ?! I don't even have a clue about this place , forest and this stupid gate ---" Sian exclaimed but stopped talking when Hao glared at her.
" First of all , you made a deal with me to come here so that means you also have to take part in helping me find stuff. Also I am tired, do you want me to tell you in detail ...? "
Sian looked at Lee ran then shook her hands .
" Ahh no , no need to tell the details ! Got it I'll find it but if I find the clue first you'll have to give me a reward, giving me a reward to do work is added in the deal now."
" Sigh... Ok but only a small reward, nothing big . Now stop being a baby and get to work."
" Roger." sian salute then quickly turn around towards the stone gate , looking for any clue she can find. Touching all the carvings, looking behind the ornamental design and behind the bush of plant vines.
' I remember in those historical dramas that they have hidden door openings in unimportant things . I am sure I'll be able to find that and as a reward I'll make Qiang Hao do things he never imagined, I'll definitely get my revenge..hehehehehehe' Sianh thought..
" Why are you smirking there like a pervert? Don't tell me you have indecent thought about non living things too ???!" Qiang hao said , grabbing Sian's attention making her look at him in disbelief .
" What the -?!! Why would I think about these things that way ?! Just what do you think I am ?"
" Hmmm.... A pervert for sure.." Hao smirked, making Sian red.
" You ....! Why don't you come and help me then , it seems like you rested enough and are not tired now , come on get up ." Sian walked towards him , grabbing his arm over his clothes.
Hao looked at his hand , his eyes widened in surprise, Sian's dirty and dusty hand grabbed his clothes.
" Wait ..! Don't touch me.... !!!"
He quickly tried to shake her hand just to get his other hand being held too. He squirmed to get away from her hold , his step fell on sian foot , Sian stumbled forward.
" You...." Qiang hao looked at Sian eyes, which were very close to him . He looks at her with wide eyes , Sian on top of him , both staring at each other in silence, their heart beating fast in sync but they keep their poker face still.
' His eyelashes are very long...'
' Her eyes are very big , look at those double eyelids.'
" Ahem .... I think we should get back to work....." Lee ran said with an awkward look , he quickly turned around and blushed.
' Finally master got a lover , it's been so many years since master was single , can't wait to hear the cries of young master ....'
After hearing Lee ran , Sian quickly got up from Qiang hao , both of him blushing now.
Sian steps backward in an awkward smile trying to light up the atmosphere , as she leans towards the stone gate for some support.
" Haha , sometimes people fall , if you wanna rest you can ... Click."
She slipped her hand as it pressed on something, the ground started to rumbling and the huge stone gate started to move as it opened .
The three of them stood in front of the gate as the gate opened fully , it was dark to look inside.
" Heh .... Looks like I opened the gate ..." Sian looked at Hao in a smirk, she won her bet with him.
" Tch .... Don't get so happy for opening a door accidentally."
" Whatever that was , I won and you have to do as the bet said." Sian gave him a smug smile , Hao clicked his tongue again, lightly pushed her away as he walked towards the gate entering inside.
" We will see to that later , it's getting inside first and doing what we are here to do."
" Hey wait for me ! "
Lee ran and Sian followed him from behind, Sian quickly walked towards Qiang hao and held his sleeves. It was pitch black inside , with stairs going down. They took each step carefully and went downstairs.
' Gosh it's so dark inside , I can only feel the stairs, I hope there's no ghost inside... Please....! '
" Ahhh.!!!" Sian screamed, Hao smirked, as he retrieved his hand back from her shoulder.
" Heh why are you screaming, did you see a ghost? "
" You...!"
' Hmmp try to tease me again.' Qiang hao smirked, Sian was frustrated but she stuck closer to qiang hao.
' Hah so nice to have a lover but it is tiring to see someone lovey dovey in front of you. I wish I had someone to hold my hand too.'
Lee ran though as he followed them from behind .
