Chapter 523 Is there another trap at this banquet?



The car stopped in front of a hotel that was magnificent and looked like a palace.

The place has been decorated extremely luxuriously, with one-to-one life-size standees of the eight guests of Love Detective placed outside the door, and a very eye-catching Love Detective poster placed above them.

The red carpet leading to the hotel entrance was filled with pink balloons and flowers on both sides, which was very impressive.

【After this morning’s experience, I can no longer believe that this is a real banquet】

[Could it be that the exterior decoration is magnificent but the interior is actually a haunted house or something like that? ]

[Hahahahaha that shouldn’t be the case, this hotel is very famous in Hai City, this is a real hotel for sure]

[It’s not that I’m suspicious by nature, but I can’t help but be suspicious after watching this show]

[This is true]

Xie Mi walked along the long red carpet, signed and checked in on the signature board at the door, and finally arrived at the door of the banquet hall.

But the waiter stopped her here, took out a piece of silk and tied it around her forehead, and put a card on the silk.

Xie Mi raised his eyebrows slightly, "What is this?"

"It's the rules of the dinner." The waiter only gave an ambiguous answer and told Xie Mi not to take off the card, then opened the door and let her in.

【? Something is wrong】

[According to the nature of the production team, it will not be a simple banquet]

Inside the door is a bustling and lively banquet hall, with bright lights, clinking glasses, and a wide variety of delicious food, which embodies the luxury of the dinner.

Because it was a start-of-work dinner, in addition to the eight guests, there were also staff members from the team attending the party.

The staff were all wearing evening gowns and seemed to be attending the banquet like them, but there was one difference.

Each of them wore a cape over their gown.

The cloaks come in all kinds of colors, but no matter whether one is wearing a suit or a dress, they all wear cloaks.

People wearing cloaks were walking around the banquet, making Xie Mi, who was not wearing a cloak, look a little out of place.

Xie Mi seemed to be thinking about something, and walked a few steps further inside, and finally saw the figures of other guests.

They are Qiu Chengye and Xiao Jingxi.

I don’t know if it’s because they both had the worst grades in the morning, but now they are talking to each other.

However, in the original text they are indeed good brothers, and as long as each other's interests are not affected, their relationship is still good on the surface.

Taking two steps closer, Xie Mi heard what they were talking about.

"Although I don't know what the words above the head mean, I guess I can't tell you." Xiao Jingxi said.

Qiu Chengye's tone sounded a little unhappy, "I didn't ask you to say it directly, I just asked you to reveal a little bit, do you know what it means to reveal?"

Xiao Jingxi frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Then let's switch. I'll count to three, two, one, and then say the words above the other person's head at the same time."

Qiu Chengye readily agreed, "Okay."

"Okay, I'll start the countdown then."

Xiao Jingxi looked at him calmly and slowly input the numbers, "Three, two, one!"

“…”

It was silent.

The two people standing there were soldiers. They looked at each other with determined eyes as if they wanted to join the party, but no one said a word.

Qiu Chengye: “?”

Xiao Jingxi: “……?”

Qiu Chengye: "Why don't you open your mouth?"

Xiao Jingxi: "You didn't say anything either."

After the two of them sat face to face in silence for a few seconds, Qiu Chengye spoke first, "Okay, we weren't ready just now, so I'll count this time, and we'll speak at the same time after three, two, one."

"Can."

"Let's begin. Three, two, one!"

“…”

There was still total silence. The two of them stared at each other, their mouths shut as if sewn shut.

Qiu Chengye: “…”

Xiao Jingxi: “…”

[Are these two brothers performing a skit again? ]

[Hahahahaha, with your character, don’t play the honesty game]

[Sorry, I just entered the live broadcast room. When did Xiao Jingxi and Qiu Chengye become so close that they are playing the game of "Statue"? ]

So what do the words on their heads mean?

Xie Mi noticed the satin on their foreheads and the cards stuck on them, which were exactly the same as the satin that the waiter had put on her before she entered the door.

but.

When the waiter put the card on her, she didn't know there were words on it, so she naturally didn't know what was on it.

But now, she could clearly see the words above Qiu Chengye and Xiao Jingxi's heads.

The words above Qiu Chengye’s head: Sing.

The words above Xiao Jingxi’s head: Eat.

Xie Mi touched her chin and roughly understood something, but in order to verify her guess, she decided to give it a try.

She walked to the dining table, picked up the cake and started eating.

She deliberately made noises to attract Xiao Jingxi's attention, and sure enough, Xiao Jingxi walked towards her.

When they were on the beach in the morning, Xiao Jingxi took the initiative to talk to her several times, and his eyes were full of ambition to create a couple relationship with her to gain popularity.

She was not stupid, so she could naturally guess Xiao Jingxi's purpose.

So using himself as bait, Xiao Jingxi was easily hooked.

"Xie Mi, it turns out you like sweets."

Xiao Jingxi walked up to her side, lowered his head and chuckled, exuding his charm without any concealment.

"Your taste has changed a lot. You used to like light meals and never touched these high-calorie foods. But that doesn't matter anymore. Now, I want to get to know you again. You are also very cute when you love cakes."

Having said that, he looked at Xie Mi lovingly, the corners of his lips raised just right, and every micro-expression was carefully designed.

Xie Mi sneered.

How could she not understand his subtext.

Xiao Jingxi now knew that she was not the original Xie Mi, but a book-crosser. So he deliberately used this remark to hint to her that he wanted to understand her now.

Who gave him the face?

"First of all, who told you that I liked to eat light meals in the past? It was you who said that actresses had to control their weight and kept mocking me for getting fat. That's why I had to give up my favorite foods and only eat light meals."

Xie Mi looked at him with a smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes. "Secondly, you don't have to pretend to be affectionate. It's cute to say that you love to eat cake, but in your heart you are actually complaining that this cake is too high in calories."

She picked up a small piece of cake and smiled sarcastically.

"It's just because you know you can't control me now, so you're being tolerant for the time being."

These words were said mercilessly, and Xiao Jingxi almost couldn't hold back the smile on his face.

But he was under the watchful eyes of the public, with countless cameras pointed at him, and most importantly, he knew that he had to win Xie Mi's favor, so he picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth without hesitation.

He closed his eyes and tasted it, pretending to enjoy it, then slowly opened his eyes and smiled gently.

"I used to be stubborn and thought work was more important than anything else, but now, I want to put you first, including everything you like."
