"Jinzhao, why did you go back again?" Shi Jing stood there stunned for a few seconds as he watched Zhu Jinzhao return to Su Ying's room, then followed her.
Zhu Jinzhao, hands on hips and frowning, looked around the room for the third time: "I have a feeling that there's something I've missed in this room. I don't think I've finished looking."
"Where haven't we finished searching?" Shi Jing looked around the room, a hint of doubt in his eyes. "This place is only so big, it's impossible that we haven't finished searching."
Zhu Jinzhao shook his head, paused for a moment, and said, "Never mind, I'll look again. You wait for me at the door."
Shi Jing didn't understand where she was looking for, but she still supported her idea: "Okay, then take your time looking, no rush."
Zhu Jinzhao: "Mm."
[Oh my god, why did Zhu Jinzhao come back looking for me again? Did she discover something?]
[Heh, what could she possibly discover with a brain like that? She's just creating a mystery to reinforce her image as a smart person.]
[Yingying is hiding so well, even if she's smart, she can't possibly find her! Let her look if she wants; it's just a waste of her own time.]
[Hey, Su Ying's fans, don't be so quick to jump to conclusions. Zhu Jinzhao's insistence on searching this room repeatedly means he's certain Su Ying or Zhu Mingyue are hiding here.]
[Zhu Jinzhao may seem simple-minded, but she's actually quite clever. Su Ying's fans shouldn't be too confident; your idol might be the first one eliminated in the next second... Have you all forgotten how Zhu Jinzhao nearly drove Su Ying crazy yesterday?]
Starting from the doorway, Zhu Jinzhao launched his third thorough search of the room.
I searched behind the curtains, in the bedside table, unzipped the duvet cover and crawled under the covers, and even looked for the slippers in the corner of the dressing table, but I couldn't find a trace of anyone.
Finally, Zhu Jinzhao stood in the dressing room again, placing his last bit of hope there.
There weren't many things in the walk-in closet, and there weren't many secluded corners either. Zhu Jinzhao searched through them one by one, but still couldn't find the person.
"Is there really no one here..." She propped her chin up with her right hand, pacing back and forth in the dressing room while frantically racking her brains.
In front of her was a half-person-high wardrobe area, with seven or eight pieces of Su Ying's clothes hanging on the thick iron rack.
It's summer now, and Su Ying's clothes are mostly light dresses or shorts. The only slightly thicker trench coat is hanging in a corner of the closet.
The trench coat was a bit long; even hanging there, the hem dragged on the shelf, creating undulating folds.
Zhu Jinzhao's gaze swept over the row of clothes several times before finally settling on the inconspicuous trench coat.
[Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, where is Zhu Jinzhao looking? Where is she looking?]
[She looked at the trench coat! She actually looked at the trench coat! Su Ying is definitely going to be found out!]
[So exciting, hahaha! Do you think she could have imagined Su Ying hiding inside the trench coat?]
[Help! Zhu Jinchao's eyes are so sharp! She definitely noticed something's wrong with this trench coat!]
[Hurry up! I hope you get out of here quickly! Stop staring at that trench coat with that half-smile! I'm begging you!]
Not long ago, Zhu Jinzhao saw a funny video while playing on his phone.
The core of the video is to showcase all sorts of bizarre ways to hide in a game of hide-and-seek, one of which is to hide inside a large coat and then hang yourself on a coat hanger to cosplay as unused clothes.
If either Su Ying or Zhu Mingyue absolutely has to hide in this house, they will most likely resort to this method as well.
But there were only two short-sleeved shirts hanging in the outer room, and Zhu Jinzhao could tell at a glance whether someone was hiding inside. If Su Ying or Zhu Mingyue used this method, they would have to hide in the row of clothes in front of Zhu Jinzhao.
Thinking this way, Zhu Jinzhao's gaze toward the trench coat became even more determined.
She took two steps forward and stood close to the trench coat, but did not rush to make a move.
...
A few seconds later, the collar of the trench coat suddenly moved on its own without any wind.
Zhu Jinchao's eyes lit up, and he smiled instantly.
[Damn it, Su Ying's been exposed! Zhu Jinzhao has definitely found out about her.]
[Retreat! Retreat! Retreat! Zhu Jinzhao, you better retreat! Don't touch my Yingying!]
[I'm the prophet; Su Ying will be the first person eliminated in the first round of the hide-and-seek game.]
"I think I've found you." Zhu Jinchao smiled sweetly, her right hand gently reaching out towards the trench coat...
The trench coat was meticulously buttoned up, appearing perfectly normal. But when Zhu Jinzhao grabbed the collar and pulled it down—
Su Ying's face, filled with panic, suddenly appeared before Zhu Jinzhao.
Zhu Jinzhao raised an eyebrow at her and said succinctly, "Sister Su Ying, you're out."
[Hahaha! Awesome! May this make your brain feel great today!]
[Who said we can't find Su Ying today?! Who said that?! Those overconfident fans, come out and argue with me!]
[Yo yo yo, "Our Yingying will never be found..."... And what happened? She was the first one eliminated, hahaha!]
"...Zhu Jinchao!" Su Ying broke down a bit. She flung open her trench coat from the bottom up and angrily crawled out from underneath, not caring that it would ruin her carefully styled hair and makeup.
"Zhu Jinzhao, why do you insist on finding me? Didn't you just leave?" She casually brushed her hair, which had been ruffled by the hem of her dress, and stood in front of Zhu Jinzhao, questioning him loudly.
But she handled her questioning with finesse, making it seem to outsiders that she was joking rather than genuinely angry.
Zhu Jinzhao replied with a smile, "I did go out just now, but after I went out, I felt like I had forgotten something, so I came back to look for it."
"..." Su Ying bit her lip and breathed heavily, her wide eyes filled with anger.
"I'm really impressed by you!" The live stream camera was filming her face up close, and Su Ying didn't dare to show her emotions, so she could only complain with a fake smile.
Zhu Jinzhao turned slightly to the side and gestured for her to leave: "Let's go, you're out of the game."
"..." Su Ying suppressed the urge to roll her eyes and turned to leave angrily.
Shi Jing, who was standing at the door, had already heard the commotion. Now that he saw Su Ying come out, he immediately added insult to injury with a sly grin: "Oh, so the one we found today is Sister Su Ying. Sister Su Ying is really capable; she was actually the first one to be eliminated."
"..." Su Ying glared at him, but didn't dare to talk back.
Shi Jing stared at her back, and after she had taken two steps, he said, "Sister Ying is quite capable."
"!!!" Su Ying couldn't take it anymore and turned around to glare at him.
He pretended not to see and called out into the room with a grin, "Chao Chao, come out! We should go find the next person!"
