Chapter 22 Chapter 22

Go forward five hours.

In recent years, escape rooms have become popular among young people. Players are "trapped" in a mysterious and weird room. There are various clues hidden in the room. Players need to use reasoning to gradually decipher and uncover the truth within a limited time, and finally escape from the room successfully.

Before entering the secret room, the group of eight people discussed who would be the tank and who would be the nurse.

The God Tank is the most courageous player in the escape room. He is fearless, walks to the front, and takes on the fatal damage from NPCs and even teammates.

The nurse is a timid player and usually needs the full protection of a divine tank.

He Xianyu looked at the tall and impressive Gu Zeye and asked for his opinion: "Master, can you lead the way as a divine tank?"

Gu Zeye hesitated for a moment and replied, "No problem."

He Xianyu continued to line up: "Yuyao and Zhaoyan are in the middle, who wants to be the last one?"

Jiang Bai raised his hand.

He Xianyu reminded Jiang Bai to be careful.

Gu Zeye was speechless at He Xianyu's double standards, and vented his dissatisfaction: "He Xianyu, I'm leading the way in front, am I not the most dangerous? Don't you worry about my safety at all? I'm not important at all in your mind, right? When I chose roommates, I was the only one who chose you——"

"Stop! Stop it!" He Xianyu was puzzled. Why did the cool and arrogant Bking when they first met have the tendency to evolve into Xianglin Sao? He said in a gentle voice, "Master, I will always be behind you to protect you, okay?"

"You, a weakling, want to protect me? I can almost protect you." Having said that, Gu Zeye was still pleased by He Xianyu's words "I will always be behind you."

Eight people lined up, put on blindfolds, and put their hands on the shoulders of the person in front of them.

The staff led the way and introduced the background story——

A few years ago, a high school student named Xiaoxiao jumped to her death in a red dress. Since then, strange things have happened repeatedly in Qingshan Middle School. Students fled, leaving behind an abandoned and desolate campus and terrible legends. Suddenly one day, you and your friends received an invitation from Xiaoxiao. You thought it was a prank at first, but out of curiosity, you accepted the invitation and came to Qingshan Middle School. A bunch of thrilling things happened one after another...

After the staff left, the eight people took off their blindfolds and walked slowly in a dark and narrow corridor.

The lights in the corridor flickered, sometimes green and sometimes red. Add to that the occasional sad sobbing of a female ghost, and it was like a large horror movie scene.

A cool breeze blew, and all the traffic lights in the corridor went out. It was pitch black all around. The plaintive sobbing turned into shrill screams, as if the scary red-clothed female ghost in the rumor was about to come and claim her life.

Huang Yuyao and Song Zhaoyan were so scared that they screamed and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.

Gu Zeye's heart was pounding and he suddenly grabbed He Xianyu's arm behind him.

He Xianyu gasped in pain, "Master, come with me to explore the way ahead. The others will stay here to protect the two girls."

Gu Zeye shook his head, "I dare not."

He Xianyu was speechless: "Aren't you a god tank?"

"You said I was a god-tank. I don't even dare to watch horror movies." The second young master Gu was not afraid of anything except ghosts. He was 1.92 meters tall, and at this moment he wished he could curl up into a small ball and hide like the two girls.

The wall suddenly lit up with a dazzling light, and a red figure suddenly appeared in everyone's sight. The red-dressed female ghost Xiaoxiao was wearing a bright red long skirt. The long skirt fell to the ground, covering her bare feet. Her long hair was scattered in front of her, and blood was flowing from the corners of her red lips. She smiled grimly at the students: "Give me back my things! Give them back to me!"

“Aaaaaaaaaaa—”

The students ran away in panic, and the formation was instantly disrupted.

Although everyone knows that the female ghost is a real person in disguise, people will subconsciously want to run away when they see scary things. This has become a conditioned reflex.

The fiery red figure then disappeared like a phantom.

He Xianyu pulled Gu Zeye off him with all his strength. He was so calm that he didn't seem like the youngest person here at all. "The NPC has left. Don't be afraid. Come and gather together."

Jiang Bai was a little surprised.

During the formation of Storm Boys, they also went to a haunted house to film a small group variety show. At that time, He Xianyu hid behind Xu Yining and trembled the whole time.

Jiang Bai asked curiously: "Xianyu, why aren't you afraid?"

He Xianyu curved his eyebrows and said, "Because I have a 24-word mantra."

"Is it that all the soldiers who are fighting are in formation? I have played the role of a heavenly master and practiced hand gestures hard." Jing Chen found something wrong after he finished making the seal, "Wait, there are only nine words."

Huang Yuyao and Song Zhaoyan urged He Xianyu to quickly teach him the 24-word mantra.

"Everyone remember this. I will only say it once." He Xianyu cleared his throat solemnly, "Prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious, free, equal, just, rule of law, patriotic, dedicated, honest, and friendly."

The other seven people: “………………”

He is indeed the secretary of the Youth League. With such ideological awareness, he should be awarded the title of advanced member.

Just five minutes into the game, Gu Zeye went from being a tank to a healer.

He Xianyu asked Gu Zeye to hide behind him and led the whole team forward in the dark.

He felt for a door, pushed it open, and suddenly light appeared in front of him.

This is an ordinary music classroom.

Written on the blackboard:

334554321123322

334554321123211

22312343123432125

3345543421123211

The most common type of room escape puzzle is the number puzzle. Players need to find the inner pattern between numbers and get the corresponding clues after solving it.

Everyone started discussing it.

Song Zhaoyan guessed, "Why not add up the numbers in each row and see."

Huang Yuyao held her forehead with her hand and said, "No, I have a disease that gives me a headache when I see numbers."

Jing Chen usually likes to watch locked room variety shows. He analyzed: "We need to work backwards from the result to find the answer. Usually this number corresponds to a combination lock. Let's find the combination lock first. If it is a four-digit combination, we will decrypt it in units of four."

The students began to rummage through the drawers and boxes, but apart from a few musical instruments and desks, there were no combination locks or anything like that.

He Xianyu looked at the four musical instruments in the classroom, and then his eyes fell on a music festival poster on the wall. The poster used the contrast of cold and warm tones to create a cool enough visual effect. From top to bottom, there were accordions, violins, recorders, and suonas.

An idea suddenly occurred to He Xianyu. "I understand. There are no numbers on the blackboard, but musical notation. It's Ode to Joy! We need four people to play four instruments in order to play this song."

Song So-yeon can play the accordion.

Huang Yuyao plays the violin.

Xia Chengyang can play the recorder.

"Who can play the suona?" He Xianyu looked at the remaining four people.

After silence, there is still silence.

That's not right. Since the program team arranged these four instruments, it means that there must be someone among them who can play suona.

Gu Zeye walked over slowly and picked up the suona.

The haunted house was completely silent, and no one knew who couldn't hold back their laughter. Then, the unbridled laughter surged towards Gu Zeye like a surging tide, filling his ears continuously.

Gu Zeye's Bking image collapsed again, and he warned with a dark face: "Whoever laughs again, I will make him ascend to heaven on the spot!"

He Xianyu was afraid that Gu Zeye would throw away his suona and leave, so he coughed a few times and said, "Let's finish the task quickly."

The accordion sounded pleasant, the violin sounded elegant, the recorder sounded clear, and finally the suona sounded——

Among all kinds of musical instruments, suona is the king. It is used to perform rituals, such as wedding ceremonies or ascension to heaven.

The sound of the suona made the haunted house even more eerie and terrifying, but since the performer was the normally arrogant Second Young Master Gu, the scene was quite funny.

Some students looked up at the ceiling, some turned their heads to admire the posters, and some lowered their heads to pick their nails. They all bit their lips tightly, trying their best to hold back the urge to burst out laughing. Some really couldn't help laughing, so they quickly pinched their thighs.

He Xianyu reminded: "Jingchen, you pinched my thigh."

"Sorry, sorry." Jing Chen took the opportunity to laugh, "Xiao Yu, did I hurt you?"

Gu Zeye’s face grew darker.

Where did He Xianyu come from? Didn't he realize that Jingchen was taking advantage of him? He was still talking and laughing with Jingchen!

Or maybe He Xianyu just likes to have ambiguous relationships with handsome young men.

Is he really Aquaman?

At noon on the bus, Gu Zeye received a message from his childhood friend. The friend changed his girlfriend like changing clothes, saying that He Xianyu looked like a sea king, and reminded Gu Zeye to be careful and never enter He Xianyu's pond.

Gu Zeye: [No way.]

The childhood friend began to ask three fatal questions: [Does he care about you? Does he show concern for you? Does he have bad intentions towards you?]

Gu Zeye thought about it.

This morning, He Xianyu reminded him to bring the down jacket distributed by the program team to avoid catching a cold. I guess she was just trying to show her concern for him.

I make coffee for him every evening before study. It shows my care and concern.

As for the last one, since the first day, He Xianyu has been against him in every way, trying desperately to get his attention. Isn't this a devious intention?

Gu Zeye was frightened: [What should I do? You said everything! ]

Childhood friend: [What a scheming 0! The average person in the entertainment industry has 180 tricks. Ah Ye, a pure and innocent virgin like you is no match for him. The Sea King likes to see his fish fighting for his favor. Ah Ye, you must stay away from him!]

Gu Zeye was lost in thought when, with a click, a secret compartment jumped out from the wall.

Inside the secret compartment was a key and a suicide note written in blood.

[They hid my shoes, hid my strawberry hairpins, and tore up the love letter I wrote to Mencius, saying that no one would like an ugly person like me. I hate them and myself. Why do I live such a cowardly life? I don’t want to live anymore! ]

According to the clues in this suicide note, players will then have to find the shoes and strawberry hairpins, restore the love letter, and thus eliminate the ghost girl's resentment.

The staff's voice came through the intercom, and the next task was a two-person task. The two girls took the key and followed the direction indicated by the fluorescent arrow to open the door of the art classroom.

Huang Yuyao and Song Zhaoyan knelt down immediately, their pretty faces wrinkled, "No!"

He Xianyu patted their shoulders and said, "When you are scared, just recite the 24-word mantra."

Song Zhaoyan asked in a trembling voice: "Does it really work?"

"Please believe in the Party and the people." He Xianyu gave them a firm look.

Chen Ge sang the battle song of strengthening the army to send the two girls off to the battle. "Listen, the horn of the new journey has sounded, and the goal of strengthening the army is calling from the front."

He Xianyu followed up Chen Ge's refrain and sang along: "If the country wants to be strong, we must take responsibility. The battle flag is full of iron-blooded glory. Soldiers, obey the party's command, win battles and have good work style. Don't be afraid of strong enemies and dare to compete, and win the battle for the motherland!"

The corners of Gu Zeye's lips twitched wildly. Could He Xianyu, who looked so righteous, really be the Sea King? Could it be that all the fish he raised had to be red?

Jingchen clapped his hands and praised them for their great singing.

Jiang Bai raised the corners of his lips slightly.

Amid the unique singing, the two girls supported each other and left the music classroom trembling.

For the next ten minutes or so, the secret room continued to echo with the two girls' terrified screams, mixed with the sobbing voices of "prosperity, strength and democracy".

When they came back, Huang Yuyao and Song Zhaoyan's voices were hoarse, their legs were weak, and they sat on the ground, unable to stand up.

After the two-person task comes the three-person task. Three boys are required to go to the art classroom to look for shoes.

Through the game of rock-paper-scissors, the ones who will go on the adventure this round are Jing Chen, Xia Chengyang and Wu Han.

Unexpectedly, during this expedition, Jingchen sprained his right ankle.

The staff rushed to the scene with a doctor and gave Jingchen emergency treatment.

Xia Chengyang calmed down and explained the sudden situation to his companions: "When the female ghost came out of the box, it was really scary. The three of us ran quickly, and then Brother Jing accidentally tripped over my leg and fell."

The staff wanted to take Jingchen out for treatment, but Jingchen refused on the grounds that "it's a minor injury and it's not a big deal."

He Xianyu squatted in front of Jing Chen, looked at his right ankle, then raised his head and looked at him with a half-smile: "How come Mr. Jing, who played the role of the Heavenly Master, is also afraid of ghosts?"

"Okay, stop laughing at me." Jing Chen was a little embarrassed, "Help me to break this level."

Players need to unlock a four-digit combination lock, under which there are four colors: red, yellow, blue, and green. Obviously, they need to find the numbers corresponding to these four colors.

He Xianyu looked at every gouache painting in the classroom. They were paintings of temples, libraries, TV towers and other buildings, and each painting had four colors: red, yellow, blue and green.

"Xianyu, do you have any clues?" Xia Chengyang got goosebumps when he heard the creepy sound effects. "The math test for the college entrance examination wasn't this scary! I'd rather go to the examination room than stay here."

This was the first time that Xia Chengyang took the initiative to mention "College Entrance Examination Mathematics". When Xia Chengyang came to this variety show, he kept his head down, and the word "sad" was almost written on his forehead. College Entrance Examination Mathematics was like a huge rock pressing on his chest, which made him completely breathless.

Although the secret room is scary, you can scream as much as you want in here, and no one will look at you with mockery or sympathy. Xia Chengyang felt that the heavy stone on his chest seemed to have become much lighter, and even his body and mind felt refreshed.

He Xianyu cast his eyes towards the plaster skull on the drawing table, "Chengyang, go and see if there is anything inside the skull."

"It's true!" Xia Chengyang found a note in the eye socket of the skull and read out the English words "the tallest building".

The tallest building -

That's the TV tower.

Wu Han counted the number of red, yellow, blue and green blocks on the TV tower, and then entered 2543 into the combination lock.

Wrong password.

He Xianyu thought for a while and said, "Let's try the library."

Wu Han was puzzled: "How can a library be the tallest building?"

"This should be an English brain teaser. The tallest building is the library because it has the most stories. The word story not only means 'story', but also means 'layer'."

Wu Han suddenly realized what was going on. After a while, he took out a pair of canvas shoes from the password box.

Xia Chengyang is about to become a fanboy of He Xianyu, "Xianyu, you are so amazing, you are simply our Eagle Eyes."

In addition to the God Tank and the Wet Nurse, there is also the most core player role in the secret room exploration, called Hawkeye. They are sharp-minded, can find props that others can't find, and are also good at deciphering.

"Don't flatter me. Let's go to the next level." He Xianyu helped Jing Chen up. Seeing that Jing Chen had a hard time hopping on one foot, he suggested, "How about I carry you on my back?"

Song Zhaoyan pinched Huang Yuyao's palm.

Both of them saw the word "Fuck" in each other's eyes.

A man carrying another man on his back——

This, this is too outrageous!

This, this is too delicious!

There is a saying that goes, when two Os meet, there is bound to be a 1.

Song Zhaoyan instantly imagined some 18+ scenes in her mind. Oh my god, how do they pay!

Compared to Gu Zeye and He Xianyu, a pair of elementary school kids who bicker all the time, isn't it better to have a confused beauty as the bottom and a national brother as the top?

Oh my God, the American empire is about to be born in front of her!

Song Zhaoyan, who looks fresh and refined but is actually vulgar and erotic on the inside, pulled her friends together and started eating it with relish on the spot.

The expression on Jingchen's face was hard to describe. "Xiaoyu, with your tiny arms and legs, aren't you afraid that I will squash you?"

He asked the staff to push a wheelchair.

The group moved to the girls' dormitory.

Huang Yuyao pointed at the closet and warned in a smoky voice: "There must be a female ghost hiding in there! Everyone stay away!"

"In order to ensure Jingchen's safety, the program team has decided that NPCs will not hide and scare people wherever Jingchen is." He Xianyu walked straight to the closet, opened it, and there was a task list inside.

He read: "I am Xiao Xiao. I found a boy among you who looks very much like Mencius. I decided to give him the love letter. I have already put a red handprint on his back."

After a period of chaos, Xia Chengyang found a red handprint representing "love" behind Gu Zeye.

Gu Zeye:!!!

He Xianyu suppressed his laughter and continued reading, "Now, to prove that you are a brave boy, please go to the bathroom alone, accept the courage challenge, and find my strawberry hairpin."

"I would rather be alone until I grow old than be liked by a female ghost! Even if the king of heaven comes, I won't go!" Gu Zeye crossed his arms and started to act like a spoiled brat.

Come on, it's a bathroom, the scariest bathroom in a horror movie.

He Xianyu thought of a compromise, "How about I go with you to accept the challenge."

"If I say I won't go, then I won't go!" Gu Zeye's face was long.

After a stalemate of ten minutes, Jiang Bai came over, tore off the handprint sticker on Gu Zeye's back, put it on himself, and then said to He Xianyu: "I'll go with you."

"Wait!" Gu Zeye snatched the handprint angrily, "The female ghost gave it to me, why did you take it away?"

Gu Zeye really disliked Jiang Bai. It was obvious that Jiang Bai came to him because He Xianyu was popular. I don't know if He Xianyu was really stupid or just raising fish, but she still associated with him.

Gu Zeye finally had the chance to be alone with He Xianyu (and maybe with the help of a female ghost), but he actually wanted to ruin it!

Jiang Bai: "...Aren't you afraid?"

"Do you underestimate me? I tell you, I'm not afraid!" Gu Zeye grabbed He Xianyu's wrist and pulled him to the bathroom to accept the challenge of courage.

Game rules: Players stand in the designated circle and cannot leave the circle no matter what happens. As long as they can hold on for three minutes, they can become a warrior certified by the red-clothed female ghost.

The unknown is the greatest fear.

Gu Zeye closed his eyes nervously.

He Xianyu whispered in his ear: "Hold my hand."

In the darkness, Gu Zeye touched his hand and held it tightly.

The three-minute countdown begins.

The room was so quiet that Gu Zeye could even hear the sound of his own teeth clenching.

Suddenly, in the dark and damp bathroom, there was a sharp scraping sound of nails scratching against the mirror. At first, it was just a tiny friction sound, but gradually, it became stronger and stronger, from far to near, as if something terrible had floated next to him.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Gu Zeye's back, and his heart seemed to skip a beat.

"He Xianyu——"

His voice was trembling.

"Don't be afraid, that's the sound effect of the game." He Xianyu touched his palm and comforted him with this action.

Every second seemed as long as a century.

Every second is a silent torture.

"Something touched my feet!"

"My ears, there's a cold wind blowing through my ears!!"

“She showed up!!!”

Gu Zeye's whole body was as tense as a string that was about to break. Just when he was about to collapse and scream, he suddenly felt a warm sensation.

He Xianyu hugged him.

Gu Zeye:!!!!!!

"Don't be afraid, the staff are just joking with you." He Xianyu's voice was always gentle, like the sound of a gurgling stream in Gu Zeye's ears, "They are responsible for your safety, so they won't play too much."

Gu Zeye asked the question in his heart: "Why aren't you afraid?"

He Xianyu had died once before, so his mental strength was incomparable to that of ordinary people. But he couldn't tell the truth to Gu Zeye. "Actually, I'm quite scared, but with you guys by my side, I'm not afraid anymore."

Gu Zeye asked tentatively: "Am I also your little friend?"

"Of course." He Xianyu patted Gu Zeye's back soothingly, "Don't be afraid. I'm here."

His voice seemed to have a strange magic that gradually calmed Gu Zeye's emotions. But Gu Zeye's heart was still beating wildly, even faster and more violently than before, but it was not because of the female ghost, but because of the person holding him.

Gu Zeye opened his arms, wrapped around He Xianyu's body, and slowly tightened them until he was completely submerged in his arms.

He sighed resignedly. Never mind, even if He Xianyu was really raising fish, he was so handsome and rich, he was still the most powerful fish in the pond.

"I'm not a coward. I won the National Junior A Karting Championship when I was 10, and I participated in the British F4 Championship when I was 15. I am just, I am afraid of ghosts."

The second young master Gu felt ashamed and was frantically trying to make up for it. He Xianyu said considerately, "I understand, I understand. I am afraid of something too."

"But you seem to be omnipotent and fearless." Gu Zeye said sincerely, "He Xianyu, I have never seen anyone like you. You are good-looking, smart, sing very well, and have a good personality."

He Xianyu almost suspected that he was hallucinating. These were actually what Gu Zeye said! Was he scared silly?

"Master, it turns out that you can spit out ivory from your mouth."

“…I’m not a dog!”

The charming atmosphere disappeared in an instant.

…

The last level was in the classroom. In a limited time, we had to find the fragments and piece together a love letter. This was a group activity, but most people were exhausted because of the long-term mental stress.

He Xianyu looked at Jiang Bai.

Jiang Bai nodded.

Gu Zeye: ???

No, He Xianyu didn’t say anything, so why did Jiang Bai give a shit?

Why do the two of them have such good chemistry? Is it because they were teammates?

He Xianyu handed the strawberry hairpin to Jing Chen, "You stay here first, Jiang Bai and I will finish this quickly."

Without any startled teammates, He Xianyu's ears were clear, and he chatted with Jiang Bai in the narrow corridor: "Do you know where the safest place in the secret room is?"

Jiang Bai asked: "Where?"

He Xianyu pointed at the surveillance camera above his head. "There is a blind spot under the surveillance camera. For the safety of the players, there will be no traps set up under the surveillance camera. If you hide in this blind spot, the central control can't see you, and the staff can't tell the NPC your specific location."

Jiang Bai suddenly realized, "Xianyu, you really know a lot."

In his previous life, He Xianyu was keen on exploring secret rooms. He and his friends deciphered almost all the secret rooms in Beijing.

He Xianyu continued: "Jiang Bai, guess what kind of love letter a female ghost would write?"

Jiang Bai was stunned for a moment, "Aren't love letters all about 'I like you, please date me'?"

"People with different personalities write different love letters." He Xianyu gave an example, "For example, Jiang Bai, you are introverted and relatively passive in relationships. You hope that the other person can feel your affection, and then the two of you can be together naturally. So even if you send a love letter, your love letter is likely to be blank. Because you think that as long as you have a mutual understanding, the other person will understand the moment they see the envelope."

In the novel, although the variety show "College Entrance Examination Countdown" is quite popular, the most popular students are Huang Siqi and Jing Chen. Jiang Bai is almost reduced to a foil for the two because of his slow personality. After that, Jiang Bai's career development was not smooth, and he gradually faded away in the entertainment circle. Later, he was forcibly taken away by a scumbag, and his love life was not smooth either.

Although the time spent with Jiang Bai was short, He Xianyu already considered him a friend. He sincerely hoped that Jiang Bai would have a successful career and a happy love life.

Jiang Bai's cheeks felt slightly hot as he was hit on the head. Fortunately, the light was dim and no one could notice his abnormality.

He was precocious since childhood, like a little adult. After entering the entertainment industry, he was even more cautious in what he said and did, fearing that mistakes would bring trouble to himself and others. Especially during the talent show, his every word and action was infinitely magnified.

Over the years, Jiang Bai has developed the ability to remain calm the more nervous he is.

He threw the topic back: "Xianyu, what kind of love letter would you write?"

He Xianyu has lived for 18 years and has never been in love, nor has he liked anyone. He thought for a while, "I might quote a passage from Mr. Shen Congwen. 'I have walked across bridges in many places, seen clouds many times, and drunk many kinds of wine, but I have only loved one person at the best age.'"

Jiang Bai said seriously: "No, you are still a minor and cannot drink."

He Xianyu: “…”

Jiang Bai is indeed the best idol in terms of male virtue.

The two men passed a corner and met a female ghost in red. They ignored her and walked past her.

"I'll treat you to a drink on your eighteenth birthday." Jiang Bai paused, "Osmanthus rice wine."

He Xianyu chuckled, "I'm just trying to comfort the child."

The ferocious female ghost: "…………"

Don’t I want face?

The two entered the classroom and searched for the fragments of the love letter.

He Xianyu opened the bookcase in the corner of the classroom, which was filled with must-read books for middle school students. He studied it for a while, took out "Mencius", and found a fragment on the title page of the book.

Jiang Bai was stunned, "How did you know to hide here?"

"The information repeatedly mentioned by the NPC are all key clues. The name 'Mencius' appeared in the small suicide note, and later the task card in the closet mentioned 'Mencius' again." He Xianyu explained.

Jiang Bai still didn't understand, "But what is the relationship between Meng Ke and Mencius?"

"Mencius, whose original name was Meng Ke." He Xianyu put "Mencius" back into the bookcase and looked at the standard eye chart next to the bookcase.

He noticed that the right-facing E in line 4.5 was capitalized and bolded.

"Jiang Bai, go to the drawer on the right hand side of the fifth table in group 4. There should be a fragment there."

Jiang Bai was stunned again.

He Xianyu's words of quick victory and quick resolution really meant quick victory and quick resolution. Five minutes later, Jiang Bai looked at all the fragments he had collected and suddenly felt that he was not worthy of playing the escape room game with a master like He Xianyu.

…

The female ghost in red sat on a chair, looking at the eight players in front of her expressionlessly.

Jiang Bai pinned the strawberry hairpin in her hair.

He Xianyu squatted down, lifted her feet, and helped her put on her canvas shoes very carefully and gently.

The red-clothed female ghost smiled on her pale and terrifying face. She stood up, slowly walked to Gu Zeye, and handed him the love letter with both hands.

Gu Zeye accepted it reluctantly.

Behind them, a door slowly opened.

The secret room adventure of Qingshan Ghost School ends here.

After recording and preparing for the interview, He Xianyu took out his backpack and mobile phone from the locker. The staff came over and told him that Song Xue had driven from Beijing to pick him up. She had been waiting outside for a while.

He Xianyu didn't want to go back "home" at all, nor did he want to see Song Xue, but the staff was too enthusiastic and led him to a red sports car.

"I have to go to school tomorrow, I won't go." He Xianyu said coldly to Song Xue.

"I will take you back tomorrow morning and will definitely not delay your studies." Song Xue opened the car door. "Today is Xiao Jun's birthday. He wants to have dinner with you."

There was a photographer not far away taking pictures of them. He Xianyu had no choice but to get in the car.

The red sports car sped through the street and onto the overpass.

Song Xue was the first to break the suffocating silence: "I looked at the trending searches, and it seems that you and Gu Zeye have a very good relationship."

He Xianyu didn't want to pay attention to her and looked out the window.

"He is Gu Junshan's only son. You have to have a good relationship with him." Song Xue showed a sarcastic and mean smile, "I raised you to this age, you finally have some value."

He Xianyu slowly retracted his gaze and looked at Song Xue, his voice cold: "Ms. Song, when did you raise me? Also, who I make friends with is my own business. You have no right to interfere with me. Let me make it clear in advance that I am not interested in playing any motherly and filial piety drama with you. I am going to the Xiao family with you purely for Uncle Xiao's sake."

The mother and son probably had a feud in their previous life, and they have never spoken to each other peacefully in this life. Song Xue doesn't care, and she won't be sad. "Xiao Jun heard that you want to leave Juxing, and he is willing to help you pay the penalty. Although it is just a small amount of money for him, it's because you are my son."

He Xianyu refused: "My contract will expire soon. Besides, even if I really have to pay the penalty, it will be with my own money."

"Do you think you can make money now that you are popular?" Song Xue raised her eyebrows, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Your popularity is not from selling gay couples? He Xianyu, I find that you have been played by Zheng Yi, and you know how to please men in your bones. Come on, mom is optimistic that you can win the second son of the Gu family."

He Xianyu took a deep breath and squeezed out every word patiently from between his teeth: "Don't mention the name Zheng Yi to me."

Song Xueliang laughed, "Without Zheng Yi, can you join Juxing? Can you become an idol? Because you sing out of tune or your body movements are uncoordinated? He Xianyu, don't be so ungrateful."

He Xianyu recalled the plot in the book: "You already knew that Zheng Yi liked to play with teenagers aged 17 or 18, so you gave me to him in exchange for a female lead role."

Song Xue was a little surprised, "How do you know? Did Zheng Yi tell you?"

"I also know that you told Zheng Yi that he could do whatever he wanted as long as he didn't kill me. Song Xue, do you think I'm stupid and don't know anything?" A haze appeared in He Xianyu's dark eyes. "You will go to hell."

After more than 20 years of being immersed in the world of fame and fortune, Song Xue is ruthless and calm enough to not get angry because of He Xianyu's curse. "Thank you for your blessing, but I finally found such a rich and loving husband. I won't go to hell for the time being."

The car left the overpass and was about to head to the highway intersection when suddenly, a sharp horn sounded.

A jeep rushed out from the fork in the road.

Sizzle——

Following the ear-piercing squeal of tires, there was the sound of two cars colliding violently.

As the world spun around, He Xianyu lost consciousness.
