"Welcome everyone to 'Our Little Family Season 3'. This season, a new family will be joining us." Director Jiang paused deliberately, keeping everyone in suspense before continuing, "It's a trainee family."
The guests didn't react much, but the viewers in the live stream started discussing it.
[A "trainee family"? In other words, not a real family of three?]
[Your understanding upstairs is probably correct! I wonder what kind of people make up this internship family?]
[The production team has been keeping it a secret for so long, it might be a big-name family!]
[That's hard to say. Maybe it's something very ordinary, which is why the production team didn't announce it beforehand.]
“This season’s format is slightly different from the previous two.” Director Jiang’s smile became meaningful and inexplicably excited. “Everyone’s accommodations tonight will be decided by playing games. The best player will get priority in choosing a room.”
"Alright, staff, cover their eyes with blindfolds," Director Jiang said to the staff.
The guests were stunned, and so were the viewers in the live stream.
"Why are you blindfolding us?" Guo Zhuyan asked.
"What game requires us to be blindfolded?" Ge Zhiye asked.
Director Jiang feigned surprise and said, "Oh dear, didn't I tell you? The game you're going to play is an escape room!"
[Ahhhhhh, I can't believe I can see my favorite escape room game here! Director Jiang, you're amazing!]
No wonder Director Jiang looked so smug and irritating; he'd been holding back such a big surprise, hahaha!
[Looking forward to the kids playing in the escape room!]
Director Jiang appreciatively watched the increasingly astonished expressions of the guests, and said, "The first one to escape from the escape room will get priority in choosing a room. The new guests are already waiting for you in the escape room."
After Director Jiang finished speaking, he waved his hand stylishly, signaling the staff to blindfold the guests.
The children had never played in an escape room before, and they panicked when the staff were about to blindfold them.
The children calmed down after their parents explained and reassured them.
A dozen minutes later, the bus stopped in front of an abandoned school.
Blindfolded guests were led into the school by staff, and viewers in the live stream were shocked to see the entire abandoned school.
Which abandoned school is this big?
The production team apparently renovated the site of the abandoned school, connecting all the school buildings together.
No wonder Director Jiang is so smug; the production team is really going all out!
[Such a big school... I feel a little sorry for the guests. How long will it take them to escape? (laughing and crying)]
[Who cares? Anyway, if they can't escape, the guests will be the ones crying, but we'll be the ones having fun (covers his mouth to laugh)! The higher the difficulty of the escape room, the more I enjoy watching it, because it's not like I'm the one escaping.]
[Hahahaha, you're so mean upstairs, but that's what I think too (evil laugh)]
The staff led the guests to a dark room and then left.
The guests were both flustered and confused.
"Huh? The staff left? They just left us here?"
The live stream footage was completely black, with only the silhouettes of the guests vaguely visible.
Judging from the voice, they believed it was Zhuo Ranjun who was speaking.
Ye Rui: "Should we start our escape from here?"
Wu Ningwei: "Isn't this place huge? I feel like I can't touch the walls!"
Ge Ling: "Mom, I'm scared!"
Zhuo Ranyun: "Don't be afraid, Lingling. Everyone is here. There's nothing to be afraid of."
Feng Wenhe: "Let's take off the blindfolds first. Shouldn't we be able to take them off now?"
Director Jiang's voice came through a loudspeaker from somewhere at just the right moment: "You can't take off your blindfold yet!"
The guests, who had already touched their blindfolds, stopped.
"Why can't I take off my blindfold, Director Jiang?" Guo Zhuyan asked at the top of her lungs.
"Each family's child can take off their blindfold after singing a song related to school," Director Jiang announced over the loudspeaker. "It has to be a song related to school. Whichever child sings it, their parents can take off their blindfold."
"Huh? A song about school? Why does it have to be a song about school?" Guo Zhuyan wondered while urging Guo Yicong, "Congcong, sing it quickly, we can take off our blindfolds after you sing. Wearing the blindfold makes me nervous."
"I'm thinking about it," Guo Yicong replied irritably.
"Lingling, have you thought of a song related to school? If you sing it, you can take off your blindfold." Ge Zhi also urged his daughter Ge Ling.
"I! Am! Thinking!" Ge Ling's tone became even worse. "With the blindfold on, I can't see anything, and I can't think of anything!"
The moment she finished speaking, someone started singing.
"The sun shines brightly, the flowers smile at me. The little birds chirp 'Good morning, good morning,' why are you carrying your schoolbag? I'm going to school, never late. I love learning and working, and when I grow up, I'll serve the people!"
The singer was Feng Xuan.
"Congratulations to little Feng Xuan, you sang wonderfully! Feng Xuan and his parents can take off their blindfolds now," Director Jiang announced over the loudspeaker.
Ah Xuan truly lives up to his father's reputation as Teacher Feng's son; he inherited Teacher Feng's talent for singing! He reacts the fastest and sings beautifully.
[Ah Xuan reacted so quickly! That's amazing! Awesome!]
Feng Xuan seems to have inherited his father's musical talent perfectly—he's a true successor to Feng Wenhe!
Feng Wenhe and Wu Ningwei were also very happy. They didn't expect that Feng Xuan would be the first to think of a song related to the school and sing it.
Especially Feng Wenhe, whose face was filled with undisguised pride and joy when she heard her son sing.
The three of them took off their blindfolds almost simultaneously.
After his eyes adjusted to the darkness, Feng Xuan screamed in terror, "Ah—!"
Wu Ningwei was also startled and let out a small gasp.
Although Feng Wenhe didn't cry out in fright, she was still quite startled.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? What are your names? Is it scary?" Guo Zhuyan asked anxiously.
Ge Ling became even more frightened and shrank further into Zhuo Ranjun's arms.
"It's nothing, you'll get used to it," Feng Wenhe said calmly.
"Teacher Feng, Ah Xuan and Sister Wei's reactions don't seem like nothing's wrong at all!" Ge Zhi said, almost in tears.
"It's really nothing, you'll see when you take off your blindfolds," Wu Ningwei reassured them.
However, the other guests were clearly not comforted.
As Feng Wenhe and his family removed their masks, the brightness of the live stream was increased, allowing viewers to roughly see the outline of the room.
[Damn! I was startled when I first saw it too. But after getting used to it, it's really nothing.]
[I was so scared I almost spilled my drink on the keyboard (laughing and crying) Now that I look at it closely, it's really nothing, just the scene was so realistic it was a little creepy. Kudos to the production team (covering face)]
