Chapter 163 Chapter 163 "What are you looking at?"...
"What are you looking at?" Lin Huai said casually as he looked at the list in Zhou Zhu's hand.
"It's the notice of this year's inter-school exchange activities." Zhou Zhu said. She saw Lin Huai's confused expression and remembered that he was a transfer student and should not know about this activity.
She started to introduce it, which was probably about college exchange activities centered around joint entrance exams, and exchanging ideas with other colleges about their respective campus lives.
"It seems to be held at Holy Thorn this year, and people from other schools will come to our college." Zhou Zhu looked down and added.
Lin Huai finished reading the paper. Zhou Zhu was probably notified in advance because she would be taking the joint exam at the exchange meeting. He said casually, "Good luck, then. Wen Qian should be taking part too, right?"
"Of course." Zhou Zhu said confidently, "She has such good grades, she must be..."
The voice faded away. Wen Qian would definitely be on the list, but it was not certain whether she was willing to participate.
Zhou Zhu paused: "It seems not necessarily."
Hearing Zhou Zhu's sudden change of words, Lin Huai looked at her in confusion, and then heard her explanation.
Indeed, whether Wen Qian will participate in the end depends mainly on her mood.
It’s too early to say this now. Until the day of the exchange meeting begins, no one can guess whether Wen Qian will attend.
Wen Qianzheng and Loren, who were mentioned by the two, were walking towards the drama club.
"What were you talking about just now?" Loren turned sideways to look at Wen Qian and said.
When he met her, she was chatting with a stranger. He didn't hear what they were saying, but only saw the strange girl holding Wen Qian's hand tightly and shaking it up and down.
"There's a prop in their drama club that they can't find. I'll go find it for her later."
"Someone from the drama club?" Loren asked casually. "Your friend?"
"No." Wen Qian said, "We don't know each other."
“…Don’t know him?”
"Yes." Wen Qian took two steps forward and opened the door. "I just passed by her and happened to hear her say she was looking for something."
Just taking on a task.
According to the drama club member just now, their props disappeared after the last rehearsal and could not be found.
Wen Qian arrived at their rehearsal place and saw all kinds of stage props, including but not limited to everyday furniture such as cabinets and tables. There was a big hammer that looked heavy but was actually made of foam, and there was also a tree in the corner.
Looking at the slightly messy space in front of him because of the many props placed there, Wen Qian was silent for two seconds, took out his mobile phone and started calling people.
It seems that bringing only one tool person is not enough.
"So what are you looking for?" Loren picked up the magician's hat placed aside, and when he turned around, the hat jingled and a bunch of things fell out.
He paused for a moment, stuffed all the fallen items back in, and put the magic hat back in its place as if nothing had happened.
When Wen Qian heard Loren's question, his expression froze and he remained silent for a long time.
Loren: "You haven't asked?"
After receiving the task, Wen Qian agreed without hesitation, saying, "...Ahem, wait a moment, I'll study it."
She quickly opened the task she had just received and checked the task details.
【Emergency Mission——Missing Props
A student from the drama club is wandering anxiously on campus. The performance props she is responsible for are missing, and she doesn't know what to do. Is there any kind-hearted person willing to help her?
Rewards: Experience +500, Gold +300, Drama Club's Gratitude x1 (Can entrust the Drama Club with one favor)]
Looking at the task introduction without any hints, Wen Qian paused and silently put on the title of [Scam Buster].
Wear a title - take it off.
Put it on again - and take it off again.
Keep wearing it...
After repeating this several times, a golden prompt word appeared.
[Task prompt has been triggered]
[The thing you are looking for is playing hide-and-seek, but it doesn't know that it is the only one who can't play hide-and-seek - because there is no one looking for it.]
Please join its game
[The Captor - Wen Qian
Hider: Searching...]
"Wen Qian, what happened?" Zhou Zhu pushed the door open and walked in. Looking at Wen Qian and Loren standing in the room, he asked in confusion.
She had just received a message from Wen Qian, and Lin Huai on the other side also received the same message.
The message only told them to go to the drama club's rehearsal place as soon as possible, and nothing else.
Not knowing what was going on, the two hurried to the rehearsal room.
Hider search completed: [Mission Target], Loren, Zhou Zhu, Lin Huai
[When the game progress exceeds 50%, the player will receive a mission objective prompt]
"You're just in time." Wen Qian said happily, and she looked at Loren.
Loren understood and recounted what had just happened.
"So are we supposed to help find things now?" Zhou Zhu looked around and saw the various performance props around him. He felt that this was a big project.
"So what is that thing?" Lin Huai asked.
"I don't know." Wen Qian said confidently.
"?"
Loren nodded slowly: "No wonder you didn't answer me after I asked you just now."
So you didn't know... Hmm? You didn't know?
Zhou Zhu's expression was blank for a moment: "I don't know what I lost, how can I find it?"
Wen Qian: "This is easy, let's play hide and seek."
Lin Huai was about to ask the girl he had met before, but after hearing Wen Qian's words, he remained silent for two seconds.
"What hide-and-seek?"
"Haven't you played it before?" Wen Qian asked in surprise. She explained carefully and patiently, "One person counts down with their eyes closed, while the rest of you hide and wait until the countdown is over..."
Lin Huai: "...No, I'm not asking you how to play the game."
What he wanted to know was what hide-and-seek had to do with this matter, and why did he suddenly have to play hide-and-seek?
"Because if you play hide-and-seek, you can find the missing items."
Looking at Wen Qian's natural expression, Lin Huai vaguely thought that he was the one with the problem - could there really be a connection between finding things and playing hide-and-seek, but he just didn't understand the meaning?
He subconsciously looked at the two people beside him.
Another person had the same expression as him, with confusion, misunderstanding, and doubt appearing alternately on his face.
The other person seemed to have understood and was smiling and nodding.
It's just that his eyes looked a little empty when he nodded.
Lin Huai silently withdrew his gaze and understood. It seemed that no one understood.
Is it important whether you can understand this? It’s not important.
Anyway, the final result is the same - being dragged by Wen Qian to play hide-and-seek.
"I can't even remember how many years it has been since I last played this game." Zhou Zhu sighed.
"I don't think I've ever played it, but it sounds interesting." Loren said with a smile.
Lin Huai glanced at Luo Lun who was sitting directly on the chair: "Aren't you going to hide?"
"Compared to that, I would rather let Wen Qian find me first."
Lin Huai, who was about to find a corner to stand for a while: You are even more perfunctory than me.
Zhou Zhu: Actually, I just want to slack off.
Loren: I don’t know what you’re thinking, but aren’t your expressions a little too obvious?
Wen Qian, the only one who respected the game, looked calmly at the prompt in front of him.
[The other members have not yet entered the game state and cannot start the game]
Holding us back, huh?
Wen Qian smiled slightly and said, "If anyone doesn't take it seriously, I'll hang him on the tree."
The air was silent for a second, and the three of them began to move.
No one questioned this joke, after all, Wen Qian might really do such a thing.
There are a lot of things in the rehearsal room, but not many places to hide.
Zhou Zhu looked around and hid in a large box nearby. The moment she entered, her expression was a little surprised.
Lin Huai quickly slipped to the side of the box, under the table covered with a dark tablecloth. The space under the table was relatively small. He casually supported the box next to him and raised his hand to touch nothing.
Is it empty?
Lin Huai lifted the tablecloth in confusion, his expression paused.
Loren, who was the last to act, looked around slowly, walked to the wardrobe props, opened the wardrobe door and walked in.
As he closed the wardrobe door behind him, he casually glanced beside him—and met two pairs of eyes.
Loren: “…”
Zhou Zhu: “…”
Lin Huai: “…”
"You guys." Loren's smile froze for a moment. "You weren't hiding here just now, were you?"
"It's a long story." Zhou Zhu paused and said, "I hid in that box, but there was a trapdoor next to it, which connected to here."
She pointed to the side of the wardrobe where there was a half-meter-high hole.
"I was a little curious, so I came here."
Loren looked at Lin Huai. After two seconds of silence, Lin Huai continued what Zhou Zhu said.
"I'm just like her."
The only difference was that he first entered the box from under the table, and then crawled into the closet from the box.
These three things are a set.
Loren remembered the magic hat he got when he came in - so are these things also magic props?
"I see." Loren nodded slightly. "Since you came here out of curiosity, can you go back now?"
Lin Huai, who was standing in the middle, paused and said, "This is the next thing I want to say."
"The trapdoors on the boxes and wardrobes are one-way."
Once they were in, they couldn't get out. The only way to get out was to open the closet door, but before they could get out, Loren came in.
"I understand." Loren raised his hand and was about to open the closet door to let them out, but before he could move, he heard a sound coming from outside.
"Okay, I'm going to start looking for someone!" Wen Qian's voice rang out outside along with the sound of footsteps.
The three people who were a step late: "..."
Lin Huai lowered his voice: "I think I should just endure it for now."
Zhou Zhu: "I agree. If I go out now, it will probably be seen as a perfunctory game."
Loren's smile froze. What would be the consequences of treating the game perfunctorily?
Will be hung on the tree by Wen Qian.
Loren slowly put down his hand, not wanting to leave this impression on Wen Qian.
Wen Qian's footsteps were getting closer and closer, followed by the sound of her rummaging through things.
There was no time limit for the task, and Wen Qian's movements seemed neither hurried nor slow. When she casually pulled open the curtain to see if there were any Tibetans inside, the door of the rehearsal room was suddenly opened.
Wen Qian subconsciously looked up at the person who came: "Chu Lingyu?"
After searching for a long time, Chu Lingyu finally found out where Wen Qian was. He breathed a sigh of relief after rushing over.
"It seems I've found the right place." He took two steps towards her. "Wen Qian, can I talk to you about what happened yesterday?"
He pursed his lips. After returning home yesterday, his emotions had completely stabilized. Thinking back on their conversation, he felt something was wrong.
Why do I feel like the liking Wen Qian was talking about isn't that kind of liking?
