Seeing that her provocation worked, Su Luo immediately smiled. “You’re such a man, Big Brother Zhengyang. Best of luck!!!” Then, she stuffed the flashlight she was holding into his hand.
“…” After calming down and thinking about it, Xu Zhengyang felt like he had been tricked. However, he had already made a declaration in front of everyone, so he could not go back on his word even if he wanted to.
He seemed to be really afraid, so Xu Jiaojiao tried to help him out again. “Brother, let me go. I’m quite curious about the side mission. You can go with Qi Shenbai.”
Upon hearing this, Su Luo immediately glared at her.
Xu Jiaojiao was taken aback for a moment, but she quickly understood what her friend meant. She did want to be alone with Qi Shenbai, but her brother’s safety was equally important. She would not go so far as to throw her own brother aside for the sake of her feelings.
“You stay, I’ll go,” Qi Shenbai suddenly said. He would not let the little girl go to such a scary place by herself.
Su Luo took a deep breath and resisted the urge to beat Xu Zhengyang up. Were all her plans for nothing? It was all that idiot’s fault!
“There’s no need for that.” Xu Zhengyang glanced at them. “I’ll go, so be it. Stop passing the baton around.” After thinking about it, he warned Qi Shenbai, “Take good care of my sister. I’ll make you pay even if she loses a strand of her hair.”
‘If you dare to touch my sister, don’t even think about leaving this escape room in one piece!’
Xu Zhengyang left the second half of the sentence unsaid, but he believed that Qi Shenbai could understand his gaze, from one man to another.
After giving his instructions, Xu Zhengyang walked to the door with a strong sense of determination. He took a deep breath, and his face was filled with the words, ‘Fighting bravely for justice’!
“Let’s continue on to the next stage,” Su Luo urged. There was still a side mission in the next stage. Once there, she would go and complete the side mission herself, then Qi Shenbai and Xu Jiaojiao would have a chance to be alone together.
The room in the second stage was much larger than the previous one, and it was even harder to find clues. Qi Shenbai also helped the girls search.
Taking advantage of the fact that he was looking for clues, Su Luo approached Xu Jiaojiao and said in a low voice, “I’m going to complete the side mission later. You two have to work hard!”
Xu Jiaojiao was confused. “Work hard? How?”
“Just don’t waste the opportunity that I’ve painstakingly created for you!” Su Luo rolled her eyes at her angrily. “The time, place, and people are right. Once there’s a terrifying set-up, you can scream and throw yourself into his arms. Let him protect you!”
Xu Jiaojiao imagined the scene that Su Luo had described in her mind and felt that it was a little strange. “Isn’t it a little too fake? What if Qi Shenbai sees through my act?”
“Do you not want to date him anymore? Do you want to give Qi Shenbai to someone else?!��
“Absolutely not!!!”
“Then follow my instructions.” Su Luo patted her shoulder heavily and said solemnly, “As long as you believe me, you can get any man you want.”
Xu Jiaojiao hesitated for a moment, but still said, “Alright.”
Su Luo’s face was filled with pride. When the next side mission was triggered, she did not hesitate to step forward and create a space for them to be alone. Before she left, she did not forget to secretly give Xu Jiaojiao a thumbs up to cheer her on.
After Su Luo left, the pitch-black room fell into silence. Although there was a flashlight, the weak light could only illuminate a small area in front of them. The two of them had to move together.
“What did Su Luo say to you just now?” Only the two of them were left in the room. There was only the sound of their breathing, and the atmosphere was a little strange. Qi Shenbai took the initiative to change the topic.
“What?” Xu Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment before she shook her head. “She was just telling me… tips to clear the mission.”
Xu Jiaojiao was glad that the room was dark enough. Otherwise, Qi Shenbai would definitely be able to see her blushing face.
When the two of them were talking just now, Su Luo’s eyes kept drifting toward him. Qi Shenbai���s intuition told him that they were definitely talking about him.
However, Qi Shenbai did not continue to press the girl since she did not want to say. He continued to help her find more clues.
According to the clues, they had to check the cupboards. There were drawers under the cupboards, so Xu Jiaojiao crouched down to open them. Just then
Something suddenly jumped out of the drawer. Xu Jiaojiao subconsciously tilted backward and almost fell to the ground. Suddenly, a pair of large hands supported the back of her head. There seemed to be a warm wall behind her.
Xu Jiaojiao looked up and heard the man’s comforting voice above her head. “It’s fine. It’s just a toy.”
Qi Shenbai shone the flashlight on the toy that had just jumped out so that Xu Jiaojiao could see what it was at a glance.
The dim light outlined his well-defined face. It was strong and exquisite, and he was breathtakingly handsome..
