He tilted the umbrella towards Tao Zhizhi to shield her from the scorching sun, and stuffed the milk tea he had bought five minutes earlier into her hand.

"Have some water first."

Tao Zhizhi subconsciously looked up and saw that it was her favorite Zhizhi Peach drink.

I couldn't wait to take a sip. On a hot day when even the wind is blowing, a cup of iced milk tea is so refreshing!

Seeing her enjoying herself, Fu Jue couldn't resist teasing her:

Is it really that delicious?

Tao Zhizhi nodded, and subconsciously handed it to Fu Jue as if it were being handed to Lan Xin, blurting out without thinking:

"Of course! You'll see once you try!"

Tao Zhizhi looked at Fu Jue's teasing smile in front of her, her mind went blank, and she remembered the invitation she had just blurted out. There was even her lipstick on the straw, and her face quickly turned red.

He stammered:

"I, I mean—"

"I can buy you a cup to try, you can hold it for me first."

"Yes, that's right!"

Tao Zhizhi quickly composed herself and felt that she had made amends. Her final expression of affirmation could not hide her embarrassment at the moment.

"Okay, I understand."

Fu Jue looked at her with a clearly mocking gaze, and his deliberately drawn-out voice made Tao Zhizhi want to punch him.

Fu Jue knew he couldn't tease her any longer, so he cleared his throat and leaned down slightly:

"Zhizhi, it's too sunny here, let's go inside."

Tao Zhizhi didn't want to talk to him for the time being, so she walked straight ahead, and Fu Jue followed obediently, holding an umbrella for her.

Looking from behind, Fu Jue turned his head towards her and spoke to her; the two of them under the umbrella looked no different from the couple standing nearby.

"Zhizhi, besides the haunted house, what else do you want to do?"

Tao Zhizhi's fever had subsided, leaving only a slight pink hue, like natural blush, making her look delicate and gentle.

"I think I've already tried them all."

Hearing this, Fu Jue, seeing that she was about to go to a haunted house, relented:

"Okay, let's go to the haunted house."

Upon hearing this answer, Tao Zhizhi's eyes lit up with excitement again, and she quickened her pace:

"OK!"

Unsurprisingly, one of the attractions of this amusement park is the haunted house, and there are still several people queuing up even during the day.

The staff routinely reminded the tourists:

"You chose the biggest and scariest one. Once inside, listen to the NPC's instructions before taking any action. Put on your blindfolds first."

Upon hearing these words, Tao Zhizhi realized that it wasn't a haunted house, but a secret room!

They decorated the outside so scary that it looks like a haunted house at first glance!

The four people in front of them wanted to play the highest-ranking game, but there weren't enough people. A cool-looking girl strolled over to them and politely started playing:

"Hello, we're two people short for our escape room. Would you like to team up with us?"

Fu Jue was always indifferent to others, but his eyes were only on Tao Zhizhi.

Seeing that Tao Zhizhi was the main speaker, they all looked at her expectantly.

Tao Zhizhi also wanted to go in and play quickly, so she agreed, and Fu Jue followed suit.

They chose the Chinese-style horror escape room, and the two obediently followed the staff's instructions and put on blindfolds.

I don't know where they bought their eye masks, but the quality is exceptionally good. As soon as I put them on, it felt like it was already dark.

Tao Zhizhi grabbed Fu Jue's sleeve and followed the staff inside. She felt her teammates getting further and further away from her, they must have separated.

She and Fu Jue were placed on a bed and sat down. She also felt the staff cover her head with a cloth.

When Tianyin coldly spoke:

"Please remove your blindfold."

Fu Jue was the first to remove his veil, and by the dim candlelight, he saw Tao Zhizhi covered by a red veil, and then he threw the red cloth down.

In the flickering candlelight, her beautiful peach blossom eyes met his gaze.

Fu Jue's heart melted. Just as she was about to speak, she saw her excitedly starting to look for clues.

Based on her experience watching variety shows, she first went to the door to try the lock and found that it was a key lock.

"Fu Jue, we need to find the key!"

Fu Jue's thoughts returned to normal, and he began rummaging through drawers and cabinets with Tao Zhizhi.

While searching for the wooden bed, Fu Jue felt a bumpy spot under the bed. Just as he lifted the blanket, the wall against which the bed was placed was illuminated by the light and looked like a thin sheet of paper.

Just as he was about to take the box inside, the wall was torn open, and the NPC disguised as a female ghost gave Fu Jue a close-up kill.

Fu Jue's face turned pale instantly, and he involuntarily stepped back, grabbing Tao Zhizhi's hand with the box in his hand.

Tao Zhizhi noticed the sound behind her and felt the warmth of Fu Jue's hand; his fingertips were a little cold.

"What's wrong? Is someone there?"

Fu Jue tried to remain calm, but his trembling voice betrayed his true state:

"Hmm~ There's a tear in the wall, and there's a woman inside."

Tao Zhizhi let him hold her hand, looking at the box he opened with surprise:

"Fu Jue, you're amazing! You found the key!"

Fu Jue's face was pale, clearly still not recovered. Hearing Tao Zhizhi's sweet voice, his expression returned slightly. He tightened his grip on Tao Zhizhi's hand, which was much smaller than his own, and curled his lips into a smile.

The two opened the door together and found themselves in a dark corridor.

Experience tells Tao Zhizhi that ghosts will inevitably appear as she walks.

The two held hands, exchanging warmth. Fu Jue's eyes never left Tao Zhizhi; at that moment, he could only hear the constant beating of his own heart.

Sure enough, they heard footsteps at the end of the corridor and became alert.

Hey~ Oh, it's a teammate!

The four people in front had a certain understanding because they had played many escape rooms before, and they quickly found each other. Now all six of them have reunited.

Many of the clues they obtained pointed to the kitchen, so the six of them went to the kitchen together.

The four of them continued rummaging through drawers and cabinets, and found a clue that they were going to make steamed buns. They looked at each other in confusion, and finally looked at Tao Zhizhi and the other person.

Tao Zhizhi thought to herself: [How come I run into people making steamed buns while I'm out having fun?!]

She smiled politely:

"I'll do it."

She smoothly took the flour and water from the kitchen and started kneading the dough. Perhaps it was intentional on the part of the props team, but they replaced the water with special water. As she kept pressing, text clues appeared on the panel.

Fu Jue pushed aside the other boys in the group, took a closer look, and within seconds confidently declared:

"Go to the woodshed."

Fu Jue seemed reliable, and the group obediently followed his instructions, leaving after Tao Zhizhi washed her hands.

The female ghost, who was supposed to be lurking in the kitchen to scare them, left before she even made an appearance.

Female ghost: [Huh?! So fast!]

Because this escape room is quite simple, with the brave Tao Zhizhi and that cool girl leading the way, and the other three always able to quickly find clues.

Fu Jue solved the puzzle after a few glances, and the group made rapid progress, emerging from the secret room in just one hour, which was originally set to take at least two hours to escape.

The staff were all somewhat incredulous.
