Lin Fengqi thought so and sent a message to Wen Xia: [How was the food? Is it to your liking?]

Wen Xia replied quickly: [It was delicious.]

He was not happy for two seconds before Wen Xia said: [Don’t send it next time.]

From heaven to hell, it was just like this. Lin Fengqi was stunned for a second and typed quickly: [Why?]

On the other side, Wen Xia frowned and thought for a long time, and decided to use a euphemism that would not hurt Lin Fengqi’s enthusiasm: [It was too troublesome and tiring to run to the hotel.]

After thinking for a while, he added: [The flowers were also very nice. Don’t send them next time. It’s expensive.]

Lin Fengqi looked at this reply, his frown relaxed, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes.

Wen Xia was still so kind. This has not changed even after so many years.

Wen Xia was relieved after getting Lin Fengqi's "OK".

He ate while sending the photo he had just taken to Zou Boyan: [Look, what is this.]

Zou Ni: [?]

Zou Ni: [If I'm not mistaken, this is my...]

Wen Yixia: [Yes, yours.]

Zou Boyan's family is in the hotel catering business, and the meal Lin Fengqi ordered for lunch was from a hotel under the Zou family.

Zou Ni: [What day is today? You're spending so much money? If you want to eat at my house, tell me. I'll just call you and give you a free meal.]

Wen Yixia: [It wasn't ordered by me.]

Zou Ni: [...Could it be Lin Fengqi?]

Wen Yixia: [You're really good at guessing.]

Zou Ni: [...]

Zou Ni: [Awesome brother. Although Liu Feisi

and the others didn't understand the reason for the meal, they enjoyed it very much. Only Wen Xia was wondering how many more surprises Lin Fengqi had that he didn't know about.

But unfortunately, Lin Fengqi didn't have time to surprise him in the following period of time.

It seemed that a certain project had reached a critical time, and he worked overtime every day, or went out for social events, and sometimes he got home in the early morning. Wen Xia waited for him once, but while waiting, he fell asleep leaning on the sofa. At first, he slept very unsteadily and had some bizarre dreams. However, these dreams soon faded like the tide, and when he woke up, he found himself lying well in bed.

Looking at the time again, it was past three in the morning.

The next morning when they were having breakfast, Lin Fengqi asked him, "Last night... why did you fall asleep on the sofa?" He asked this question with hope in his eyes, wondering if Wen Xia was waiting for him.

Wen Xia said, "I fell asleep while playing on my phone while sitting on the sofa. Thank you for moving me back to bed."

Lin Fengqi was stunned, and said "No need", pretending not to be disappointed and looking away.

Wen Xia put the fried egg into her mouth and said indistinctly, "Just wait a while."

Sometimes it only takes such a simple sentence to coax a large dog.

In the next few days, Wen Xia would still wait for him, but not in the living room, but in her own room, until she heard Lin Fengqi coming back, then she would put down her phone and go to sleep.

Although they met seldom, Lin Fengqi still had the habit of asking Zeng Yuan to bring him lunch every day at noon, but it was no longer as big a fuss as that day, just like before. Lin Fengqi would always take some time out of his busy schedule to make him a lunch different from that of others.

The only thing was that Wen Xia didn't know what kind of Ren and Du meridians Lin Fengqi had opened, and from time to time she would send him some strange "inquiries about his well-being", including but not limited to:

"Are you satisfied with your lunch? "

"You looked a bit cold this morning. Next time, don't go out without enough clothes."

"Are you wearing new shoes today? You have successfully caught my attention."

Wen Xia: "..."

Sorry, who are you?

Wen Xia asked him: [What weird things have you read?]

Observation subject: [...Not weird things.]

Wen Yixia: [Oh?]

Observation subject sent four words seriously: [It's a reference book.]

God damn reference book.

Wen Xia was lying on the small sofa in the studio, laughing like an idiot.

Wen Yixia: [You should read less reference books, they are not serious.]

Observation subject: [...]

Observation subject: [Have you read them too?]

Wen Yixia: [A little dabbled in them.]

Observation subject lost He typed

for a long time.

Observation object: [Actually, I also think it’s… inappropriate…]

Wen Xia laughed again and fell on the sofa.

He could even imagine how Lin Fengqi blushed as he sent him these messages. He was so fucking cute. He even doubted deeply whether someone had instilled some inappropriate thoughts into this wooden head.

Nearly two weeks passed like this. On Thursday, the 18th, the first snow of the year fell quietly.

When I woke up in the morning, the indoor temperature was obviously lower than the day before. Wen Xia opened the curtains and saw snow outside. There was fine fluffy snow.

Clothes were getting thicker day by day.

That afternoon, Wen Xia received a message from "Xiao Ma". When he first saw the note, he was stunned for a moment, and didn't react until he clicked on the message and remembered.

He and Xiao Ma greeted each other once after adding each other as friends, but they didn't chat on other days. After all, Lin Fengqi was busy for more than a week, and he went for a walk alone in the evening. He would always run into Xiao Ma on the way, and they would chat about anything at that time.

Xiao Ma sent a message to ask him if he was free this Saturday, Then he said: [Brother Wen, do you know the store "World Law"? It's an escape room! There's a promotion going on recently, and there's a discount. My wife and I want to go, but the group purchase discount is only valid for at least four people. I want to ask if you and Brother Lin are free, and if we want to go together on Saturday?]

World Law, this is Wen Xiashu, Zou Boyan's store.

He also knew about the promotion, and Zou Boyan told him about it, and his circle of friends was also actively advertising there, saying that it was to boost sales at the end of the year.

He remembered that Zou Boyan had suggested that he take Lin Fengqi with him to "cultivate their relationship."

Wen Xia replied that Xiao Ma might not be free, and he had to ask Lin Fengqi. After all, he was not sure whether Lin Fengqi was free this Saturday. He was very busy last Saturday and Sunday, and he also went to another city to attend a meeting. It seemed that this week was not as busy as last week, but it was hard to say. Xiao Ma expressed his understanding.

Unexpectedly, Lin Fengqi, who was working overtime at the company that night, sent him a message asking: [Are you free on Saturday?]

Wen Xia replied with a question mark.

Observation subject: [Escape room, do you want to go?]

She also sent him a picture, which was a promotional poster for a discount event that Zou Boyan often posted on WeChat Moments in recent days.

Wen Xia was alert: [Where did you get this picture?]

The observation subject typed for a while and replied: [I saw it from the employee WeChat Moments. He likes to play escape rooms very much. ]

Wen Yixia: [Why did you think of playing this? You like it too?]

Observation subject: [Just saw it.]

Observation subject hesitated for a moment and sent him a voice message.

Lin Fengqi rarely sends voice messages. Maybe he is more comfortable communicating by typing. If he really needs to say something by voice, he will choose to make a phone call instead of sending a voice message of ten or twenty seconds, or even sixty seconds. Then wait for the other party to reply with a voice message of several dozen seconds.

This is very time-consuming, and he pursues high efficiency.

The voice sent by Lin Fengqi this time was as long as five seconds.

Wen Xia was shocked and clicked it.

"I'm still pursuing you. Can you go on a date with me?"

The voice played from the speaker was slightly distorted and noisy, which just diluted the subtle tension in the man's words.

It was like a sentence that had been practiced thousands of times.

Wen Xia simply couldn't refuse.

On Saturday, Wen Xia and Lin Fengqi met the young couple at the gate of the community.

Lin Fengqi drove Wen Xia's car, and the four of them just sat in one car. On the way, Xiao Ma shared some of his experiences playing escape rooms with Wen Xia. It can be heard that he is a senior lover of escape rooms. In addition to Zou Boyan's World Law, he also pays attention to the famous escape rooms in the local area every time he travels abroad.

"If I want to say that the one that ranks high in my heart, it has to be "Eternal Village" by World Law. It can be said to be the most interesting escape room I have played in recent years," Xiao Ma said, "We can play this later."

"Have you not played it before," Wen Xia said, "I have also played this theme before, let's choose one that everyone will experience for the first time."

As Zou Boyan's official designated beta player, Wen Xia was among the first batch to experience "Eternal Village". There were quite a few shortcomings at the time, and Zou Boyan reworked and improved it several times. Later, when it was officially launched, it was very amazing and it became popular for quite a while.

This promotion is very powerful, attracting batches of players, and the traffic is even more constant during weekends. They arrived early, but they still couldn't escape the fate of waiting in line.

When Zou Boyan heard that Wen Xia was coming with Lin Fengqi, the big boss came out to greet them in person: "Which one do you want to play?"

Wen Xia had already discussed it with the young couple on the way - as for Lin Fengqi, his opinion was "I'll listen to you", so he could be ignored.

He raised his chin towards the "Highly Recommended" theme poster hanging on the side: "Let's go with this one, "Crazy Night."

"Crazy Night" is a circus-themed secret room. It was an early secret room when Zou Boyan first opened the world law. It has just undergone a round of upgrades and renovations this year. It is said that both the horror level and the difficulty of the missions have been greatly improved by more than one level. Even Wen Xia has never experienced it.

“Okay,” Zou Boyan glanced at the waiting list, “This escape room requires at least six people. There are four of you here, so why don’t you join the two girls next to you, making it exactly six people. There is another team in front of us.”

The two girls are still high school students and are very lively. They happened to pass by while shopping today and decided to give it a try on a whim. It was the first time for both of them to play an escape room.

They found a place to sit and wait, and Xiao Ma came over: "Brother Wen, you know the boss of World Law?"

"Yes, friend."

Xiao Ma said enviously: "Then can you play the latest theme escape room? I saw on the official website of World Law that new theme escape rooms are also being prepared and produced. I have tried to get the first batch of experience spots for the Immortal Village before, but it was hard to get one because there were too many people."

After saying that, he scratched his head and hurriedly explained: "Brother Wen, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to get some backdoor through you, I'm just expressing my feelings."

"It's okay," Wen Xia said, "It's a good thing you didn't get the experience spot. The original version of the Immortal Village was actually quite boring."

"Is that so?"

The two high school girls were chatting about their own things next to them, and Wen Xia chatted with the young couple idly, occasionally pulling Lin Fengqi in. After chatting for a while, Lin Fengqi asked him: "Are you thirsty? I'll go buy something to drink."

"Just water," Wen Xia turned to ask Xiao Ma, "What about you guys?"

"No, no, we're not thirsty."

Next to the front desk is a beverage station, selling some simple freshly made milk tea and fruit drinks, and there is also a vending machine selling bottled drinks and water next to it. They sat with their backs to the front desk. Wen Xia didn't suspect anything and didn't turn around. He continued to chat with Xiao Ma to pass the time.

Lin Fengqi walked to the beverage station, and Zou Boyan wandered over: "How about I give you another tip?"

Lin Fengqi was silent for a while, and said: "Last time..." What a domineering president fell in love with me, it didn't work at all.

"Well, wasn't I joking?" Zou Boyan coughed lightly, "It's the chat software's fault. It swallowed all my joking messages. Don't worry, I'll compensate you ten times if it's fake this time."

He added, "If you give me a fake clue, I'll compensate you ten Wen Xias!"

Lin Fengqi said, "...I only need one."

Zou Boyan clicked his tongue twice, leaned forward with his elbows on the bar and said, "You know, this kind of horrible scene has only two effects on a relationship, either it heats up or accelerates its rupture. Aren't you afraid of that?"

Lin Fengqi nodded.

"Then I suggest you be afraid," Zou Boyan said, "Only when one is afraid and the other is not can there be a story. If neither of them is afraid, it will be meaningless. Think about it, if you are afraid, you know Wen Xia, he will not abandon you. You have to stimulate his desire to protect you, and the feelings will definitely rise immediately - of course, don't deliberately take advantage of me, my surveillance can see everything clearly. This kind of thing still requires a natural flow."

Lin Fengqi hesitated slightly about his words: "...Really?" He watched the live broadcast of Wen Xia and Guiqulai playing a horror game together. Guiqulai was almost scared to death, but Wen Xia didn't react. Sometimes, he was annoyed by Guiqulai's howling and would directly sacrifice his teammates.

Zou Boyan patted his chest and guaranteed: "Listen to me, it's for sure."

After the revision and upgrade of "Crazy Night", the duration was extended from the original half-hour show to nearly one and a half hours. When they arrived, there was a team in front of them making preparations before the start. When it was their turn, almost two hours had passed.

This secret room can accommodate at least six people and at most eight people. It is based on the circus theme, and the names of the characters are all foreign names.

Everyone was blindfolded and brought into the venue. During this period, they were not allowed to talk to each other. Wen Xia soon felt something was wrong because the footsteps became more and more scattered, which meant that they were taken to different places.

The footsteps around Wen Xia became more and more sparse, and in the end, only he and the staff who led him forward were left.

With his eyes blindfolded and unable to see, he began to think seriously about the main purpose of today.

Of course he was not afraid. He asked Lin Fengqi last time, and he was not afraid either. That's a difficult thing to do. There has to be someone who is afraid in order for something to develop, right?

Otherwise... he is timid and should just pretend to be afraid.

The more Wen Xia thought about it, the more he felt that he was really smart. There are not many people like him who give their suitors a chance.

The author has something to say:

Mr. Lin: I want to be a little scared.

Xia Xia: I want to be a little scared.

Question: Who is really scared?
