Tuya swears she was devastated when she heard those words!

On the one hand, she really didn't expect Fu Jinxiao to fall in love. After all, in her opinion, the reason why Fu Jinxiao, who had been single for many years and kept himself pure, had never had a partner was because he was picky!

He doesn't like good-looking people, he doesn't like bad-looking people, he doesn't like smart people, he doesn't like stupid people, he doesn't like profit-driven people, and he doesn't like people who are indifferent to worldly desires. To be honest, for a long time, his group of friends were secretly betting on whether Fu Jinxiao would be single for the rest of her life!

But……

Turning around, it's pitiful to be targeted by this wicked old fox; wouldn't he be completely devoured?

Tuya managed to ask the question with difficulty, though she still wanted to struggle a bit: "Who do you want me to set you up with?"

Fu Jinxiao stood opposite her, raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, giving her a look that said, "What nonsense are you asking?", then smiled and slowly said, "What do you think?"

"..."

Ya Ya didn't know, and it wasn't Ya Ya's business.

Others may not know about this lunch, but Tuya ate it with trepidation and couldn't eat or sleep properly. To make matters worse, this kind of gossip can't be shared casually, which is really distressing.

Afternoon passed, and the production team gathered everyone together. It was afternoon, and the sun wasn't too hot. A staff member stood at the front and said, "Everyone's work report for this morning is out, and the scores so far are also available. Let's first announce the rankings of the contestants with the highest professionalism and the highest dedication scores based on comprehensive consideration:"

Fu Jinxiao 230 points

Tuya 200 points

Shen Xingsui 180 points

Li Xu'an 178 points

Shen Xingchen 150 points

An Ran scored 142 points...

After the rankings were announced, Shen Xingchen was quite dissatisfied: "Director, I worked hard all morning to cook, and you only give me 150 points? Is that fair?"

"You should be grateful for the points you've given us," the director said expressionlessly. "The ingredients you wasted and the pots and pans you smashed aren't even enough for us to pay for."

"..."

Shen Xingchen fell silent, a rare occurrence for her.

The viewers in the live stream were amused:

"Young Master isn't cooking, he's going to blow up the kitchen."

"Haha, what have I done to deserve eating his cooking?"

"The key point is that he actually managed to cook the meal for his family in the end."

"How worrying, hahaha."

The director added, "The top three winners of this competition will receive a small gift pack and a mission hint card. Good luck everyone!"

It was like a short meeting that ended, and everyone learned their current scores. Because of the experience gained in the morning, they were able to work more easily in the afternoon.

Shen Xingchen returned to the kitchen in the afternoon, intending to chop some firewood. He happened to run into An Ran, who had come to fetch water. An Ran smiled and asked, "Brother Chen, are you chopping firewood?"

Shen Xingchen gave a perfunctory reply: "Yeah."

"Brother Chen, can I give it a try?" An Ran asked tentatively from the side.

Shen Xingchen said impatiently, "What are you doing? You can't even hold an axe properly with that little strength. Have you finished your own work? Don't come here and cause trouble."

An Ran choked, but still used his usual coquettish trick, saying in a sweet voice, "I'll just try it, okay? If you let me try it, I'll leave and promise not to bother you. Really, I've never chopped wood before. This axe looks so fun."

"..."

Shen Xingchen was terrified by his disgusting tone and emphasis, and finally handed him the axe: "Okay, okay, you can try it."

An Ran happily took the axe, but after trying it a few times, it didn't work. So she returned the axe to Shen Xingchen and sighed, "It's so heavy! Brother Chen, you're doomed. You'll definitely have a sore back in a couple of days."

Shen Xingchen ignored him: "I'm perfectly healthy, you should worry about yourself first."

An Ran could tell he was getting impatient with her, so she returned the axe to him and finally left, knowing better than to do so.

In the late afternoon, everyone was busy working, trying to earn points in their respective positions. They gradually became familiar with the students and would occasionally stop to chat. The students at this school were all shy and reserved. When they were approached, the children would gather in twos and threes, laughing and playing around, which was quite energetic.

Shen Xingsui was quiet when cleaning in the afternoon. She always worked silently by herself. Even when she had a break, she wouldn't go to play with others. She would just sit in one place, lost in thought.

Netizens had mixed opinions:

"What's wrong? I'm so tired that I'm taking a break."

"That's so boring."

"Could it be...writing a song? Don't judge a book by its cover."

"Writing sheet music without paper and pen? That's outrageous."

Although the audience was complaining, they were always saying one thing but meaning another. The more fiercely they complained, the more viewers watched online. On the contrary, the number of viewers continued to rise. The live streaming platform gave each guest a separate live streaming room, and each live streaming room had a number of viewers based on popularity. As of now, Shen Xingsui's popularity is second only to Fu Jinxiao and Shen Xingchen, and even surpasses most of the boy group members.

...

evening

After the afternoon's activities concluded, the production team announced today's rankings. As expected, the top three winners were: Fu Jinxiao, Shen Xingchen, and Tuya.

Teacher Li raised her hand and asked, "Why is Shen Xingchen mentioned? Didn't he break a lot of bowls?"

“That’s right,” the director replied, somewhat dejectedly. “But he chopped too much wood, and the kitchen auntie who was giving him the ratings thought it was great and gave him a lot of extra points.”

Teacher Li: "..."

No one expected it to be like this.

Seeing that everyone was tired and exhausted after a long day, the director said, "If no one has any objections, we can pack up, say goodbye to the students, and leave the school."

Just then, Shen Xingsui, who hadn't said much until now, raised her hand: "Director, I have."

The production team looked at him in surprise.

"I passed by a classroom while I was cleaning today," Shen Xingsui said with a smile. "I saw an old piano inside, so I was wondering if I could use it?"

The director didn't know what he wanted to use it for, but still hesitantly replied, "It's possible, but what do you want to use it for?"

Shen Xingsui smiled gently and said, "I want to play a song for a classmate."

As soon as he finished speaking, the viewers in the live broadcast room naturally knew who he was referring to. Just as the production team was hesitating, Shen Xingsui actually used his trump card: "I remember during the phone call segment this morning, you said that if we passed the challenge, we could ask the production team for a favor at a specific time."

The director nodded: "So you want to..."

Shen Xingsui replied, "That's right, I'm going to take advantage of this opportunity."

This was a very important opportunity to make a request to the production team, and no one expected that Shen Xingsui would use it without hesitation just to play the piano!

But since he said that, the production team, which had already made a promise, would of course not break the contract. After the guests finished eating in the cafeteria, when everyone came out, the piano had already been tuned and carried out. It was only six or seven o'clock in the evening, and it was not dark yet. The sunset dyed the sky red, and the piano was placed neatly on the playground.

To Shen Xingsui's surprise, the little boy Qi Xiao was also among them.

The production team said to Shen Xingsui, "This piano is ready to use now, and this is a microphone, make sure it's working."

This production team, which is known for constantly messing with its guests and being a bunch of idiots, is surprisingly meticulous when it comes to serious matters, handling every detail with great care.

Shen Xingsui responded with a thank you.

He walked up to the piano, and the children passing by stopped to watch. Shen Xingsui walked to the piano, his hands fell, and his fingertips glided across the piano with elegant and natural movements. After he had familiarized himself with the piano for a while, he looked up at everyone, a slight smile on his lips: "I am very happy to have met everyone at this school. Before I leave, I would like to sing a song for a little boy."

The evening breeze brought a touch of coolness, and the young man standing upright in the center of the playground was particularly eye-catching.

Shen Xingsui sat down at the piano. His long, slender, fair fingers pressed the keys, and a clear and elegant piano sound poured out. It was a somewhat low and gentle melody. It sounded very simple, yet it contained a strange sense of tenderness. His hands fell on the piano keys, and the melody was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears through the microphone.

As the two melodies faded, the young man began to sing, his voice sounding exceptionally gentle against the backdrop of the twilight:

"If I were the wind, a wind that others could hardly see."

"In this sweltering heat, I want to cross the fields and traverse the mountains to reach you."

The lyrics were simple, but paired with a deep and elegant melody, even when sung a cappella, it didn't feel out of place at all. The setting sun cast long shadows on the playground, and Shen Xingsui's singing was so infectious that it made the originally noisy playground inexplicably quiet down, with everyone listening to the song.

The viewers in the live stream went wild:

"Don't tell me this is the song that kid sang at noon?"

"He actually composed the music in one afternoon and even memorized the song!"

"But wasn't he right under our noses all afternoon?"

"So they actually managed to compose the music?"

"If I were a beam of light, a beam of light that is not conspicuous."

"In the darkest night, I will leap over high walls, break through the darkness, and bring you brilliant light..."

The soothing melody rose slowly after the last word, Shen Xingsui's voice clear and pure. He raised his face, his gaze passing through the crowd to the boy with red eyes. His voice rose slightly, stirring everyone's emotions, as if he were venting for the song's owner.

"So the weather won't stay hot forever, so the nights won't stay dark forever, the temperature will drop, the sun will rise, and our lives will definitely get better."

"So what if it's hot all the time? So what if the sun doesn't rise? We'll all be fine..."

Even at high notes, Shen Xingsui didn't crack while singing a cappella and keeping the piano playing continuously. His rich and deep emotional impact was explosive. The lyrics were simple, but he drew the listener in with his singing and composition skills. It was a song with slightly immature and nonsensical lyrics, but when he sang it, the cheerful mood and the deep emotions were perfectly blended. The piano arrangement was gentle and lonely, making it very pleasant to listen to.

“So we must…” Shen Xingsui’s fingertips slid across the piano keys, his voice lowering, “wait for the sun.”

When the last steel note faded, the entire venue fell silent.

quite a while

No one knows who started it, but enthusiastic applause rang out on the playground. It was the first time the children had heard someone play the piano and sing up close, and they were excited and thrilled.

Shen Xingsui stood up and bowed to everyone, her movements elegant and solemn.

He wasn't wearing a tuxedo, but standing beside the piano, he seemed to be on his own stage. His mastery of the music and his confidence in it made him appear as if he were the protagonist, drawing everyone's attention.

Shen Xingsui smiled at the child who was clapping the loudest and asked gently, "Did you think it sounded good?"

The children answered in unison, "It sounds great!"

"Actually, this isn't a song I wrote." Shen Xingsui's words left many children bewildered. He then waved to Qi Xiao and explained to everyone, "This is Qi Xiao, he's your classmate, and he wrote this song."

The students were in an uproar.

The third-grade boy, who was dark-skinned due to malnutrition and only reached Shen Xingsui's chest, was called upon. He stood there dumbfounded, staring blankly at Shen Xingsui. Finally, surrounded by his classmates, he walked to the center of the playground and stood beside the piano, looking somewhat helpless.

Shen Xingsui squatted down to meet his gaze at eye level and smiled gently: "I'm sorry, I arranged the music for you without your permission."

Qi Xiao quickly shook his head.

"What do you think?" Shen Xingsui asked him gently, "Is this how you imagined the song to be?"

Qi Xiao nodded almost without hesitation. He was nervous, but he still spoke in a low voice, which was a little hoarse: "That's how it is. I didn't expect it to sound so good."

“Because…everyone says my lyrics are terrible, not good at all.” Qi Xiao’s hands unconsciously clenched at his sides as he tugged at the hem of his clothes: “Even if they’re sung, they definitely won’t sound good.”

No one interrupted him, even though he was speaking haltingly and in a very soft voice because of nervousness.

Shen Xingsui had been watching the boy the whole time. After patiently listening to him speak, she reached out and wiped the thin layer of sweat from the boy's forehead. A smile appeared on her face as she said softly, "How could that be? It sounds really good."

Qi Xiao asked in a hoarse voice, "Really?"

Shen Xingsui nodded. The sunset glow fell on him, as if bathing him in golden light. He smiled gently, his eyes seemingly filled with a bright light: "Really, didn't I prove it to you, Qi Xiao? You are just as good as me. You are my pride."

This sentence is like pressing a button.

The boy, who had been tense all along, twitched his lips and breathed heavily for a moment. Tears rolled down his cheeks like beans, and he burst into tears, wiping them away with his arm as he cried. It was as if he was venting his pent-up grievances, or perhaps he was finally getting recognition and encouragement, and could no longer hold back his emotions.

Shen Xingsui reached out and gave him a hug, and the taciturn child no longer refused, but instead threw himself into Shen Xingsui's arms and cried loudly.

This emotion even permeated the live stream, moving most of the viewers:

"Tears welled up in my eyes."

"Sui Sui, you are our pride!"

"Waaaaah, this is my idol! He's an amazing arranger, he sings so well, he's an angel."

"Although it's just a small act of kindness, it could change a child's life."

“He himself was eliminated from a talent show and almost couldn’t continue singing. He was already working very hard, but he still wanted to give light to others.”

"I'll cry first as a sign of respect."

Previously, people's understanding of Shen Xingsui was only superficial, but today, his displayed composing skills, his emphasis on a child's dream, and his kindness have moved most people. For the first time, Shen Xingsui has become a trending topic on Weibo's real-time hot search list.

#Shen Xingsui's Arrangement is Absolutely Superb#

#He is my proudest idol#

The recording of the show was equally lively. Qi Xiao, who was crying, was too shocked to cry when he learned that Shen Xingsui and the others were the original singers of "A Glimmer of Light." Just then, it was time for school to let out, and Qi Xiao's sick grandmother came to pick him up. After a brief discussion, the group decided to use the piano they had on hand to perform a live version of "A Glimmer of Light" together.

Moreover, the lineup this time is truly spectacular.

Fu Jinxiao played the piano accompaniment, and Tuya and Teacher Li joined the dance group. The entire boy group worked together to perform a song called "Glimmer," fulfilling the old man's dream. As the sunset finally disappeared below the horizon and night officially arrived, the day at school came to an end. Starlight filled the sky, illuminating everyone's way home. They were exhausted, but they were still chatting and laughing.

The camera captured this vibrant moment.

The viewers in the live stream were also deeply moved:

"I think I understand why this show is called that."

"In the bright days of life, we should go and encounter more beautiful things."

"I used to think that adding Shen Xingsui was unnecessary, but now I'm proven wrong."

"I'm going to listen to his older works!"

"Looking forward to more great works from you every year, I'll be your new fan from now on! ~"

After returning to the resort, everyone still couldn't rest. The production team gathered everyone together. Today was the fourth day of the show, which would last for five days and six nights. This night was destined to be anything but peaceful.

The director said, "I see that everyone seems to be having a lot of fun, but I have to announce something. Today, three of you have been poisoned by the killer in public and are only half alive. If the killer succeeds again, the three of you will be eliminated and punished."

Everyone was stunned.

The director read out the cast list directly: "Shen Xingchen, Li Xu'an, An Ran."

...

The moment the words were spoken, all around fell silent.

Shen Xingchen was the first to jump up and down: "How is this possible? How could I be poisoned? I didn't even know when I was poisoned!"

The director's face remained expressionless; he simply stated the facts: "I regret to inform you, Shen Xingchen, that you have indeed been targeted by the assassin once, and successfully. You are now only half alive. If the assassin succeeds in attacking you again, you will be completely eliminated."

"What I want to tell you is that those in the good guys' camp who haven't been poisoned shouldn't think about staying out of trouble. If the assassin successfully poisons the prince, then if half of the prince is poisoned, half of everyone else will also be poisoned. If the prince fails, dies, and is eliminated, then the entire good guys' camp will fail." The director reiterated this point: "Your goal is to find the prince and protect him while also finding the assassin."

Still unwilling to give up, Shen Xingchen raised her hand: "Director, can I ask if the assassin can poison whomever he wants without any restrictions? The pay is so good, can I join?"

"..."

His silly remarks amused everyone.

The director couldn't help but chuckle, but still answered honestly, shaking his head and saying, "No, there are conditions for an assassin to make a move. As things stand, if you fall for it, it just means you don't know enough about the assassin yet."

These words are already a clear indication.

If any of you are eliminated, it's entirely your own fault for not studying the hint cards properly and not studying hard enough.

After the production team finished their meeting with the guests and everyone dispersed, the guests, realizing the seriousness of the situation, finally developed a sense of crisis. They gathered together in a nearby pavilion to begin their meeting.

Tuya spoke first: "Let me go first. I think we need to exchange clues from the mission cards and share information so we can deduce the killer faster and eliminate him."

“I agree with this suggestion.” Teacher Li took out two cards: “These are mine.”

Since someone took the lead and set an example, others followed suit.

Teacher Li, who still held some prestige, spoke first: "My two cards are both simple and strange. They tell me a story. It is said that there was once a family in this manor whose members were the local prefects. Later, because they were given a task by their superiors, the prefects secretly went to carry it out. After the task was completed, however, their entire family was executed to silence them."

Tuya nodded: "My mission card also gave me two storylines. There is an important clue in it: this young master is the eldest son in his family, and I also have a card with only a dragon pattern on it."

Shen Xingchen also took out the card and said, "We have more clues. He is very handsome, has great artistic talent, and is very popular and well-liked."

Li Xu'an and An Ran also showed their cards: "We have a storyline here. After the entire family was executed, only this young master survived. His enemy is the prince. In order to avenge his family, he has been trying to win over various forces. And their forces have a secret code for communication: 'Tonight is a good night.'"

...

After all the cards were laid out, everyone fell silent.

For no other reason than that these clues are too pointed, Teacher Li glanced at Actor Fu and said, "This 'Tonight's auspicious night' is practically a rip-off of your ID card."

Everyone else laughed.

Fu Jinxiao sat languidly in her chair, raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, and smiled, "So, Teacher Li suspects it's me?"

"I can't speak for others, but if it's you..." Teacher Li looked apprehensive and sighed, "You can't judge a book by its cover, you can't trust it."

Tuya giggled, "And there's another clue saying he's the eldest son. I remember you're the only child in your family."

The others seemed to think it made sense.

The gazes directed at Actor Fu became wary; they were all afraid!

Despite the doubts of the crowd, Fu Jinxiao remained calm. He swept his gaze over everyone and asked, "Then I want to know, are the three poisoned individuals all princes?"

Those who were asked the question were taken aback, while the other three shook their heads.

“It seems none of you are princes. The assassin has targeted the wrong person.” Fu Jinxiao sat there calmly. He was not flustered at all and even seemed to be in a good mood. He smiled with confidence and a touch of arrogance: “But if I were the assassin, then the game would be over now.”

"..."

A hush fell over the room.

He's arrogant, truly arrogant, but he has the right to be arrogant.

The reason the production team didn't arrange for Fu Jinxiao to be the killer is because he could actually turn a five-day show into a four-day one.

Shen Xingchen, for once, grasped the key point: "Brother, you already know who the prince is?"

Fu Jinxiao said with a smile, "What if it's me?"

If the prince's identity is exposed, he will become the target of everyone's attacks. The assassins will definitely try every means to eliminate the prince first, so as to end the game in the simplest way. At this time, anyone who tries to claim the prince's identity will undoubtedly be asking for trouble.

Shen Xingchen sighed: "Then I'll be relieved if it's you. That assassin can't do anything to you."

Li Xu'an nodded in agreement: "Then we won without even having to lift a finger, right?"

"What are you dreaming about?" Tuya laughed and slapped him. "If he were a prince, would the assassins still have a chance to win? Unless the prince really is him, we can't win without lifting a finger. Oh, or maybe the prince is his darling, then we might have a chance to win."

Shen Xingchen moved closer to Fu Jinxiao and said in a disgusting tone, "Brother Fu~ look at my baby, I'm poisoned, waaaaah, you have to protect me."

Fu Jinxiao glanced at him coolly, a smile playing on her lips, her voice, though not cold, seemed to carry icy thorns: "It seems you don't want to wait for the poison to take effect, but rather want to die now?"

Shen Xingchen trembled and ran behind her younger brother to hide.

Shen Xingsui was both amused and exasperated, but taking advantage of the moment when everyone was joking around, she glanced meaningfully at Fu Jinxiao. Fu Jinxiao also glanced at her, their eyes met, and then looked away.

Did he know he was a prince?

Shen Xingsui was somewhat uncertain, but he subconsciously felt that Fu Jinxiao might know, or should know, if he wanted to know.

...

Day 2

Today can be considered the final round.

Everyone got up very early and spontaneously gathered in the courtyard. They glanced at each other and saw wariness in each other's eyes.

The director said, "Today we have a mission. The assassin and his organization have set up a mysterious formation in the town. Once it's activated at night, the entire town may be harmed by the magic. However, this formation is not without a way to break it. Legend has it that in a distant dynasty, a peach blossom fairy left behind fragments of a sacred beast to protect the town. As long as everyone finds all the fragments and pieces them together, we can protect the town and find the assassin!"

Everyone responded with a shout of agreement and applauded.

"Of course, if you don't find them all before nightfall, or if you're all eliminated by the assassins beforehand, the formation will still activate," the director said. "So everyone must do their best!"

Shen Xingchen, brimming with variety show sense and high spirits, exclaimed, "Okay, find the killer and protect the town!"

Shen Xingsui was right next to him, being pulled along and waving, and she joined in his antics, gradually relaxing a lot: "Find the assassin!"

Ning Ze reached out his hand and said, "Come on, give me some gas."

The crowd huddled together, each person extending one hand, one hand stacked on top of the other, and chanted in unison: "Find the assassin, protect the prince, save the town!"

This is the last day of "Starlight Splendor," and the first episode is about to come to an end.

The audience was also deeply moved:

"My go-to show for watching while eating is coming to an end."

"Especially the boys in the boy group, I've really watched them grow up from the talent show to now."

"I'm really going to miss it so much that it's suddenly ending."

"Waaah, yeah, yeah, thankfully it's in the entertainment industry, so we can see it often."

The guests discussed it and decided that since they didn't know who the killer was, and there was still a risk of danger if they traveled together, they should each go their own way. This way, at least they wouldn't have to worry about someone suddenly poisoning them.

Shen Xingsui wandered around the small town by himself. When he passed by a restaurant in Peach Blossom Town, the waiter at the door greeted him: "Hello, Suisui."

Shen Xingsui smiled and said, "Hello."

"Are you filming a TV show?"

"Yes, we're looking for something."

The waiter casually said, "You're looking for something? You can pray to our Peach Blossom Goddess; it'll bring you good luck."

Shen Xingsui's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Where do we pray?"

The waiter pointed to a room inside the restaurant and said, "We have a shrine to the Goddess of Peach Blossoms in our restaurant. Would you like to go and pay your respects?"

Shen Xingsui readily agreed: "Great, great!"

The waiter's words reminded him that since he was looking for the treasures left behind by the Peach Blossom Fairy, he might find something by worshipping her. He went into the restaurant and went up to the second floor, where he saw a lifelike statue of the Peach Blossom Goddess. The woman seemed to have affection in her eyes and was very beautiful and charming.

Shen Xingsui sincerely bowed in front of him. Just as he got up to offer incense, he glanced at the table next to him and noticed that something seemed off. He reached out and touched a token!

"No way..." Shen Xingsui smiled, "You're so lucky."

The token was engraved with the program team's big "Star" character, and it could be opened. After opening it, Shen Xingsui found a fragment of a treasure inside, along with a mission card. However, strangely, the mission card had no text prompts, only a large peach blossom pattern.

Shen Xingsui asked in confusion, "What does this mean?"

He doesn't quite understand.

The waiter behind said, "Could it mean a peach blossom grove? There's a peach blossom grove on the back hill of our place, although it's not the season for peach blossoms to bloom."

Shen Xingsui replied, "That's possible. I'll go take a look."

He picked up the sign and was about to walk towards the peach blossom grove when An Ran entered the restaurant. He asked, "Hello, has anyone been here just now?"

The waiter asked somewhat warily, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

An Ran quickly said, "I need to talk to that person. Please tell me quickly."

"He went that way." The waiter simply pointed in the direction: "I don't know exactly where he went."

An Ran nodded: "Okay."

An Ran smiled at the camera, put away the card he had obtained from another place, and then said to the camera, "I am now basically certain that Sui Sui is the prince, so we need to go find him now."

The viewers in the live stream were very conflicted:

"Ranran is an assassin."

"Even though I know it's just a game and everyone has their own role, I still feel sorry for Sui Sui."

"Waaah, please don't hit me!"

"It's just a game, and it wasn't Ranran's idea to draw the assassin."

On the other side

Shen Xingsui arrived at the peach blossom forest and found that although it was not the season for peach blossoms, the forest was still very beautiful. The climate here was already very hot, and there were other flowers and plants planted along the roadside. At the end of the forest, there was a tower with staff members at the entrance. It was clear that this tower was some kind of hidden mission location.

"Hello." Shen Xingsui quickly walked over and politely asked, "Excuse me, is it possible to go up this tower?"

The staff member nodded and said, "That's fine."

Shen Xingsui smiled and said, "Okay, thank you."

He quickly ran to the top of the tower, navigated the layers of stairs, and found several rooms at the top. There might be something inside. He opened the doors and searched the rooms. The room on the left was empty. When he went to the middle room, he found that the cabinet in the very center could be opened, and there was a diary in the drawer!

Shen Xingsui opened the diary and saw that the childish handwriting told stories about the manor. He said to the cameraman, "This seems to be the assassin's diary."

After flipping through a few pages, Shen Xingsui noticed a piece of paper that read: "My younger brother and I depend on each other for survival, but my brother's health is too weak, and I'm worried that he won't survive."

younger brother?

The assassin wasn't an only child!

Shen Xingsui's hand holding the diary trembled slightly as he said to the cameraman, "So Brother Fu's innocence can be cleared, and this killer really might have had accomplices."

Just as Shen Xingsui was about to turn and leave the room, there was a noise outside. He turned around and met An Ran's gaze. An Ran, who was standing at the door, noticed the notebook in Shen Xingsui's hand and took a deep breath: "You found out."

Shen Xingsui closed her notebook and said, "You're an assassin, aren't you?"

"There's no point in talking about this now," An Ran said to Shen Xingsui. "Suisui, I'm sorry!"

Clang

The door was closed from the outside.

Not only that, An Ran seemed to have locked it. He said, "Sui Sui, this is my room when I was the 'young master.' If you were in another place, I might not be able to help you. But I have a key to this room, so please stay inside. I will come and let you out after dark!"

Shen Xingsui rushed over: "An Ran!"

An Ran, who was outside the door, ran away as if she had done something wrong, leaving Shen Xingsui and the cameraman staring at each other in disbelief.

The live stream chat exploded:

"My God, that scoundrel An Ran."

"Haha, he's such a sweetheart! Isn't he supposed to be a pure and innocent girl?"

What about Sui Sui?

"Locked up for a whole day? Are you kidding me? Are you not going to eat or drink? This room is stuffy, small, and hot!"

Shen Xingsui inside the house was in a bad mood, but the more urgent the situation, the calmer he became. After taking a deep breath, he did not choose to bang on the door meaninglessly, but instead opened the window immediately and began to look for anything in the house that he could use.

The photographer said, "Jumping out the window won't work; it's very high up here."

“…I didn’t mean to jump out the window.” Shen Xingsui said helplessly, “Help me look around the room for anything brightly colored. We can hang it on the window. It’s a tower, so people outside can easily see us. It’s also a peach blossom grove, so someone should be able to come here. As long as they see our things, we’ll be saved.”

The photographer's eyes lit up: "Brilliant."

The two searched for a long time but found nothing.

Shen Xingsui was a little tired. After taking a deep breath, she looked at the cameraman in his yellow vest, staring at him with a thoughtful expression.

The cameraman took a step back: "What, what are you going to do?"

Shen Xingsui smiled and said, "Cameraman, please help me out..."

The cameraman was on the verge of tears.
