He Jing frowned and looked at Yan Hanxi. Suddenly, she remembered that Yan Hanxi was the male lead and Cheng Yi was the female lead. According to the rules of novels, they would definitely be together during important events.

Even if Yan Hanxi doesn't like Cheng Yi yet, she will eventually fall in love with him by chance due to the influence of the Masterpiece Hand. It seems that it is indeed not appropriate for her to team up with him.

If he agrees...

"Team up with me?" Yan Hanxi's smile turned lazy. Perhaps because he didn't want to say anything too harsh in front of the He brothers, his tone was excessively cold. "Are you trying to break up a couple?"

Cheng Yi knew it wouldn't be easy to succeed, but insisted, "I..."

He Sui interrupted abruptly: "What is a CP?"

Wu Yu immediately chimed in: "In anime, CP means companions. Breaking up a CP means separating two close friends."

He Sui was furious and glared at Yan Hanxi indignantly: "Who's your CP? My sister doesn't have a good relationship with you. The most important person in her heart is me..."

Oh, even the future fourth brother can't handle it...

Yan Hanxi: "Okay, whatever Fourth Brother says goes."

Once the two interrupted, Cheng Yi was completely forgotten. Even though she wasn't directly rejected, it was more painful than a direct rejection.

As Yan Hanxi led He Jing away, Cheng Yi could no longer hold back, turned around and threw herself into He Zhou's arms, bursting into tears.

He Zhou also regretted it; his blind confidence had made Cheng Yi lose face so badly. He patted her on the back and said, "Give up on him and find another guy to be your boyfriend..."

Cheng Yi looked up, tears streaming down her face, and choked out, "No, Third Brother, I really love him so much, I can't live without him."

He Zhou, who felt a pang of heartache and involuntarily furrowed his brow, smiled bitterly upon hearing this. Sure enough, she had only said she had a little affection for him before in order not to hurt him. It seemed that he had to let go.

Finally, after He Zhou's silent comforting words, Cheng Yi managed to pull herself together and followed He Ning into the secret room.

What does it matter if she is rejected from joining a team? As long as she demonstrates her wisdom in the early stages of the escape room, Yan Hanxi will definitely change his mind.

Upon entering the escape room, the staff explained its structure to them. It was a large, interconnected escape room with a horror-themed time-travel theme, divided into ten smaller escape rooms. Each smaller escape room had its own independent horror story, but they were all connected to the background of the larger escape room. Only by escaping all ten smaller escape rooms and finding the ultimate boss of the entire large escape room could one successfully escape.

In short, just hearing about the difficulty level is astonishing.

Since it's impossible for an average person to complete all ten escape rooms in a single day, rankings are based on points earned directly from solving puzzles in the game. If someone fails to escape even one small escape room, their points will be 0.

He Sui exclaimed "Holy crap!" three times, saying, "Isn't this tailor-made for me? It's time for me, this genius, to shine!"

He Xiaoguo couldn't help but tease him: "Your sister is definitely better than you."

He Sui flicked He Xiaoguo on the head with a flick of the wrist: "You talk too much."

He Xiaoguo started yelling.

He Jing bent down and pinned the number brooch given to her by the staff to He Xiaoguo's chest. With a gentle smile, she said, "Maybe Xiaoguo is the most amazing one."

Cheng Yi was eager to impress everyone, so she took the lead and was the first to enter the secret room 01. However, as soon as she stepped in, a terrifying ghost head reached down from above and hung upside down to look at her. A scream pierced the entire secret room.

P.S.: Still out of town, typing this on my phone. Love you all.
