Before the game officially started, the guests returned to their bedrooms to rest for a while.
Song Yichen pushed open the door and saw that his luggage had been rummaged through and scattered all over the floor.
His roommate, Mu Yanshi, coldly scanned every item in the suitcase.
The hidden camera at the entrance has been smashed.
It's obvious who did it.
"Mu Yanshi, have you gone mad?"
"I'm not the one who's crazy."
Mu Yan grabbed Song Yichen by the collar.
"It's you, isn't it? You're the scumbag who harassed Fu Yu!"
Song Yichen narrowed his eyes.
"I don't understand what you're saying."
Don't pretend with me.
Mu Yanshi punched Song Yichen in the face, the blow swift and ruthless.
Song Yichen fell to the ground, blood instantly seeping from the corner of his mouth.
Why did you make me guess who your favorite woman is when you came here?
"Don't think I don't know, you're always spying on Fu Yu."
Mu Yan grabbed Song Yichen's tie and said fiercely, "You took Fu Yu's wine glass. What did you want to do with the wine glass? Tell me!"
"Where did you hide it?!"
Song Yichen's eyes were bloodshot, and the feeling of suffocation made his face turn a deep brown.
"Let me go."
Song Yichen struggled to push Mu Yan away.
“I really don’t understand what you’re saying. If it’s because of Miss Fu, I can explain.”
Song Yichen took out his phone, found a text message, and tossed it to Mu Yanshi.
It's my grandmother's phone number.
"Please keep a close eye on the banquet. If you notice anything amiss, nip it in the bud immediately."
Song Yichen replied yes, and then asked her if she didn't want Mu Yanshi to date Fu Yu.
Grandmother replied a few minutes later.
"Playing around is fine, but going any further is impossible. I believe you can grasp the right balance."
Song Yichen pulled out a few tissues to wipe the corners of his mouth.
"Young Master Mu, you should also know that the chairman asked you to participate in this dating reality show in order to set you up with Jiang Lu. Now you and Fu Yu are getting along very well."
"Of course the chairman is dissatisfied, that's why he sent me. How can I not keep an eye on you all the time?"
“Especially Miss Fu, I must find out whether she likes you as a person or just wants to climb the social ladder by marrying into the Mu family.”
Song Yichen threw the blood-stained tissue into the wastebasket.
Behind him came Mu Yanshi's deep voice.
"I can give her anything she wants."
“This is my business, it’s none of your concern. As for my grandmother, I will explain it to her. You don’t need to keep an eye on me.”
"I've made up my mind about Fu Yu. I won't like any other woman but her."
“If Grandmother wants to treat Fu Yu the same way she treated my mother, she’s mistaken.”
“I am not your father. Leaving the Mu family will not kill you.”
The atmosphere in the bedroom was quiet and somber.
Song Yichen lowered his Adam's apple and fixed his bloodshot eyes on Mu Yanshi.
"You really love Miss Fu."
"It's good that you understand."
Song Yichen's hand tightened for a moment, then slowly relaxed.
When he heard Mu Yan ask, not to be outdone, "You really like Jiang Lu?"
"So from the beginning, you thought I would like Jiang Lu?"
Song Yichen rubbed his cheek. "I took it for granted that you would follow the chairman's script. It seems I underestimated Young Master Mu."
He looked down at the drawer of the bedside table.
She asked softly, "Does Fu Yu like you?"
"What?"
"Does Miss Fu like you? Are you sure your feelings aren't just wishful thinking?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Yanshi acted as if he had heard a joke, pulled down his collar, and revealed a deep red hickey.
He straightened his neck as if showing off.
"I can't live without Ayu, and Ayu can't live without me."
"If it weren't for these bizarre rules on dating reality shows, she would have been sticking to me like crazy long ago..."
"Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."
Mu Yan pulled up her collar and put Song Yichen's scattered clothes back into her suitcase.
"I can't control myself when it comes to Ayu."
I'm sorry for doubting you.
"It doesn't matter."
Song Yichen's voice is ambiguous, conveying neither joy nor anger.
Mu Yanshi raised an eyebrow at him, pointed to the door, and said, "I'll go get you an ice pack."
As Mu Yanshi left the room, the apology on his face slowly disappeared.
grandmother?
That's a good reason.
But he could sense a hint of madness, a longing for unrequited love, flashing in Song Yichen's eyes when he mentioned Fu Yu.
Feelings can be hidden, and excuses can be countless, but desires can never be hidden.
That eerie, possessive feeling.
Mu Yanshi could smell it as soon as he took a whiff.
The bedroom is very well soundproofed.
So much so that after Mu Yanshi left the room, he didn't hear Song Yichen open the drawer and then slowly close it again.
Half an hour later, the challenge game officially began.
The first challenge tests the level of teamwork between partners.
It is divided into two parts.
In the first part, the male guests hugged the female guests and did squats; the number of squats they did determined their order of appearance in the subsequent games.
In the second part, the male guest, blindfolded, was guided by the female guest to a designated location to obtain the key to the exit.
During this process, not only will there be interfering NPCs, but also random tests of tacit understanding will be triggered.
Only partners who pass the test can continue.
There are only three keys, and the last pair to arrive is automatically eliminated.
Jiang Lu stood beside Song Yichen and immediately noticed the bruise on the corner of his mouth.
"Yichen, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Song Yichen.
