Xing Yu was a little discouraged.
He quickly wondered if it might be the pinyin for "ghost".
Just as he was about to get excited, he remembered that the pinyin for "ghost" only has three letters, less than four characters.
He was a little discouraged, but then he wondered if it was the pinyin for "ghost".
Just as he was about to get excited again, he remembered that the pinyin for "ghost" has six letters, far exceeding four.
He felt a little discouraged again.
Viewers in the live stream saw Xing Yu standing still, his face darkening and brightening repeatedly, like a light bulb with a faulty connection.
Even the cheese company noticed it.
"What are you doing?" Chi Nai asked sweetly. "Why are you puffing up and exhaling like a frog? Are you practicing frog kung fu?"
Xing Yu “…”
“No,” Xing Yu explained, “I was thinking…”
"Are you thinking the password might be the pinyin for 'ghost' or 'spirit,' but then you realize that neither of those pinyin spells have four letters?" Chi Cheese chimed in, picking up where he left off.
Xing Yu stared in disbelief. "How did you know?! Are you a tapeworm in my stomach?!"
Upon hearing the word "roundworms," Chi Nao wrinkled her little face in disgust.
"I'm not a bug! I'm definitely not a bug in your stomach!" Chi Nao Chef glared at him, dissatisfied. "I know I'm not a bug in your stomach, you know. That's all you can think of!"
Xing Yu “…”
[Hahahaha, I'm going to laugh myself rich! Cheese has completely seen through Yu Yu's low IQ!]
[Cheese is truly worthy of being CEO Chi's daughter! She's just as smart as her father!]
One was too clever for his own good, the other too foolish; they were both incredibly clever and confused.
[But I think Cheese is right (facepalm) YuYu really can only think of these (facepalm)]
"Halloween..." Qin Yuanyao pondered, "Halloween is November 1st. Halloween is just three days ago, so that's November 4th!"
Everyone got excited when they heard November 4th.
"Li Xuan died on November 4th!" Xing Yu shouted excitedly. "Li Xuan died and became a ghost, so they have their own ghost!"
"Yes, yes!" Guo Zhuyan exclaimed excitedly. "1104, that's exactly four people!"
As Guo Zhuyan spoke, he entered "1104" into the password box on the metal box.
Immediately, the combination lock box opened.
Everyone was overjoyed and high-fived each other, never expecting to open the tin box so easily this time.
Viewers in the live stream were also happy for everyone, and they flooded the chat with "".
When Qin Yuanyao and Chi Baiyi high-fived, she saw the gentle, serene smile on Chi Baiyi's face and was momentarily stunned.
Qin Yuanyao quickly came to her senses, turned around and gave Xing Yu a high five.
Seeing Qin Yuanyao's palm and Xing Yu's palm clapping together, Chi Baiyi's smile vanished instantly.
So when Xing Yu reached out to give him a high five, Chi Baiyi ignored him and bent down to give Chi Naoqi a high five instead.
Then, he withdrew his hand and stood up arrogantly.
Xing Yu's outstretched hand missed its target. Feeling somewhat embarrassed but also somewhat used to it, he pretended to be nonchalant and scratched his head before turning around.
Why didn't CEO Chi give Yu Yu a high-five? Does he look down on her?
[Xing Yu's fans are already upset? Given President Chi's status, isn't it normal for him to look down on others?]
[President Chi didn't look down on Yu Yu, did he? He only high-fived Qin Yuanyao and Cheese, not Teacher Guo's family.]
[Exactly! President Chi and Xing Yu aren't even that close. Does he have to respond to Xing Yu's high-five? Does not respond mean he's looking down on her?]
[Are some of you fans following "Little Family" for the first time? That's just Chi Zong's personality. Aside from Qin Yuanyao and Chi Naiqi, you could count the number of times he's spoken to the other guests on the show on one hand. Let's not be so sensitive, fans.]
Yes, Yu Yu himself doesn't care, so let's not take it too seriously. Yu Yu has been winning by default with President Chi and the others, so it's quite normal that President Chi doesn't want to high-five him, isn't it? (covers face)
Why did I only notice that CEO Chi and Qin Yuanyao gave each other a high five? And CEO Chi's smile towards Qin Yuanyao almost made my heart melt!
[Hahaha, I also noticed that President Chi smiled at Qin Yuanyao, so sweet!]
However, just as everyone was excitedly looking into the contents of the tin box, they discovered another problem, and their smiles instantly froze.
"What?!" Xing Yu exclaimed in surprise. "There's another lock inside?!"
What Xing Yu took out of the metal box was another metal box, which was relatively smaller and also locked.
Like the large iron box outside, this small iron box also requires a four-digit password to unlock.
【What?! I'm totally baffled! Is this some kind of joke or just plain ridiculous?!】
My little fish was so shocked it was speechless! Production team, I urge you to be kind!
Is the production team creating a nested doll effect? Could it be that this little tin box opens to reveal an even smaller tin box inside?
The production team is really messing with the guests' mentality!
The other guests were starting to lose their composure, but CEO Chi remained completely unfazed, even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.
Xing Yu shook the small metal box, but there was no sound from inside.
"Could there be another metal box inside this metal box?!" Xing Yu said, somewhat exasperated.
"I don't know, let's open this tin box first." Qin Yuanyao had quickly accepted this reality.
Xing Yu sighed helplessly, "We still have to decipher this poem that isn't even a poem! I thought we could move on to the next stage and find evidence that Li Xuan didn't commit suicide so that the female ghost NP could lead us out."
Qin Yuanyao glanced at him and said, "What are you thinking! The live broadcast has only been going on for a short while. Why would Director Jiang be so kind as to let us out so quickly? He won't let us out unless he locks us up for a day or two."
"Even if we get the contents of the iron box and find evidence that Li Xuan did not commit suicide, Director Jiang will most likely activate a mechanism to make us fall into some unknown secret passage to delay our escape."
Director Jiang in the control room was speechless.
Was he making it that obvious?
He's been seen through so thoroughly?
[Yaoyao is so clear-headed! She sees things so clearly.]
It's not even 4 PM yet. They'll be locked up in the secret room for at least another two hours before Director Jiang lets them out. If they escape so early, wouldn't all this scenery be wasted?
[YuYu, you can just sit back and relax and win with this lazy bum. You're not really helpful with the puzzles anyway (dge face)]
Xing Yu looked at Qin Yuanyao with newfound respect, giving her a thumbs up. "That makes sense! No wonder you've been on the show for three seasons; you've figured out the show's tricks perfectly."
Xing Yu also adjusted her mood, "Then let's decipher it."
Everyone stared once again at the paper with the poem written on it.
