"Yes! This secret room..."

Zheng Shuyi nodded, just about to make an introduction.

"Um... excuse me... Sister Yi, my face feels stuffy and uncomfortable. Could you wait until I remove the fake skin before you start talking?"

Yan Xi finally couldn't resist. Wearing the fake skin on her face for too long was too stuffy and made her sweat. She felt a little itchy; she couldn't very well peel off her skin in front of them, could she? That would be a bit scary…

A horror movie playing in broad daylight...

"Okay! Luo Luo, you can go now. I'll talk to you when you come out!"

Without Yan Xiluo saying anything, the three of them almost forgot that she hadn't removed her fake skin after disguising herself. As soon as she returned, she hurriedly placed the fog powder and antidote on the table, not even bothering to go to the bathroom.

Zheng Shuyi told them the entire layout and special features of the secret room, explaining that she had her reasons for designing it this way.

She never expected to need it so soon.

"If that's the case, things will be much simpler!"

Lan Jingyan spoke first, having already imagined several possibilities while Zheng Shuyi was speaking.

"I've got an idea too..."

Yan Xiluo directly stated her plan to see if they would agree to adopt it.

Her plan was meticulous, down to the strategy and layout.

"I think my sister's plan is feasible!"

Yan Yixing agreed, as this was the same idea he had just been thinking.

"Yes, just as I thought!"

Lan Jingyan nodded, giving him a look that it was permissible.

"If this plan is to be implemented, every one of you must come with me to the secret room now!"

Zheng Shuyi and the other two had already made up their minds. This was all the help he could offer, and they needed to hurry.

"good!"

The three of them spoke in unison and followed Zheng Shuyi's footsteps.

"You all need to watch carefully and write down every step I take from now on, just in case!"

Zheng Shuyi led them to the secret room and said seriously that this was a layout he had personally designed, and only she knew the details best.

"Uh-huh!"

"good!"

"Let's begin, Yi Yi!"

Zheng Shuyi spent a full half hour explaining everything he needed to, and also checked each of them to make sure they remembered it.

That's all you need to remember. Just remember it.

She found a place to sit down, but she was exhausted and her mouth was dry.

"Fifth Brother, how are you feeling? Should you wait a few more days to rest before taking any action?"

The timing of the action made no difference to Yan Xiluo and Lan Jingyan, but it was different for Yan Yixing.

The longer she rested, the safer she would be. Since Yan Xiluo didn't know if Yan Yixing had any other matters to attend to, she decided to ask for her opinion before making a decision.

"No, it's best to act tomorrow! This matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible; we must go back for Grandma's birthday banquet!"

It's hard to believe that three people were absent from Liao Yufang's birthday celebration; her family would definitely suspect that something bad had happened to them.

Moreover, he has never missed Liao Yufang's birthday since she was a child.

"Okay, then let's proceed according to the original plan."

Yan Xiluo pondered for a few seconds and finally agreed. After all, their excuse for leaving was to treat their back injury, and not being able to go back to the birthday banquet would only make their family members overthink things.

"Then I'll go prepare rooms for Luo Luo and Jing Yan. They'll stay here tonight."

They had just discussed that they would all have to stay at the school until the operation began, otherwise those people might launch a full-scale attack.

"Thank you, Sister Yiyi."

Yan Xiluo smiled gently.

"good."

After spending time together, Lan Jingyan's expression improved considerably, and she became more approachable.

"You're welcome!"

Zheng Shuyi got up and left with a sweet smile.

"Fifth Brother, you should go back and lie down! I'll take care of the cooking!"

Yan Xiluo's gaze fell on the bed next to her, gesturing for Yan Yixing to obediently go over and lie down to rest.

"This injury was totally worth it! I gained a girlfriend and get to eat my sister's cooking!"

Yan Yixing couldn't help but sigh, her smile as bright as a flower, as she obediently walked to the bedside and lay down.

"Don't talk nonsense! If you get hurt again, I won't talk to you anymore!"

She was so worried, and he was talking nonsense! When is it wrong to eat her cooking?

"Alright, alright! Little sister, Fifth Brother will shut up!"

Yan Yixing made a closing gesture with her right hand in front of her mouth.

"Lie still and don't get up! Ayan and I are going out."

Yan Xiluo spoke in a tone like an elder giving instructions, pointing at him with her index finger and looking at him with a fierce yet endearing expression.

"good."

At this moment, he was like a good boy, only able to lie on the bed and nod while moving his chin.

When Zheng Shuyi came out of the room after tidying up, she found that Yan Xiluo and Lan Jingyan had already started cooking, and their movements were very practiced.

"I'm so sorry, it's your first time visiting my home, and I'm making you cook."

Zheng Shuyi said awkwardly that she had originally planned to cook in the kitchen after tidying up the room, but they beat her to it.

"Sister Yi, it's nothing. We're troubling you by coming here; it's just a meal. You can go about your business; we won't blow up your kitchen!"

Yan Xiluo winked at her mischievously.

"Hehe, okay. If you need anything, just call me."

Zheng Shuyi was amused by Yan Xiluo; she was humorous, witty, lively, and adorable. No wonder Yan Yixing had said she would like her; it was true, she really liked Yan Xiluo and found her interactions easy and enjoyable.

The most crucial point is that Yan Xiluo is a very polite person and acts appropriately.

"I'll call you when it's time to eat."

Yan Xiluo smiled mischievously again.

"Uh-huh."

Zheng Shuyi then left the kitchen, deciding to go to the secret room after all.

"Star, oh! Lying there so obediently."

Zheng Shuyi joked that ever since they got together, he always liked to run around looking for her and cling to her. She was still a little unaccustomed to seeing him lying quietly!

They also have a rather well-behaved appearance.

"Of course! It was my sister's order."

Yan Yixing smiled, but he was lying there obediently because he didn't want to aggravate his wound, since the plan was to be implemented tomorrow.

Every time he got out of bed to find Zheng Shuyi, he couldn't help but kiss and hug her, sometimes accidentally aggravating his wound, but he never said anything.

"Xingxing, are you going back to China after this is all over?"

Zheng Shuyi had overheard the words "grandmother's birthday banquet" during their conversation. They should be going back soon, right?

She calculated the time; her work abroad still had half a month left before it ended.

"Yes, it's my grandma's birthday party. Also, my older brother and I have been managing the family company lately. I had an accident while I was away, and my family doesn't know about it. If I don't go back soon, they'll start to get suspicious."

He went to the United States to auction off goods, intending to return home after the auction, but he was ambushed and chased by the Bloodthirsty Hall.
