Chen Yu did want to win first place, but looking at Cheng Yi's beautiful face, his heart was shattered by her words. Compared to the girl he liked, what did winning first place matter?
"Points are not important. I would be willing to give you all my points."
Cheng Yi's beautiful eyes lit up, then she was deeply moved: "Really?"
Chen Yu nodded emphatically: "Of course it's true."
Cheng Yi grasped his hand and said sincerely, "Thank you, Brother Chen Yu. I really don't know how to thank you enough."
Chen Yu's cheeks flushed red, his heart raced, and his breathing became hot.
Cheng Yi looked at her hand, exclaimed "Oh!" and quickly let go, lowering her head shyly and saying, "No... I'm sorry, I was too excited."
Chen Yu shook his head: "No...it's okay."
Cheng Yi said, "Let's go to the next secret room."
She can't wait to see He Jing now.
With Chen Yu around, she'll definitely surpass He Jing.
I wonder what He Jing's expression will be like then...
"Is the next escape room escape room 07?"
Yes, that's right.
...
Escape Room 07 is the most important of the large escape rooms, and it offers a very generous amount of points. It is not as difficult as 08, 09, and 10, but it has many complicated tasks that require a lot of brainpower. At the same time, it is also related to the BOSS of the entire escape room.
When He Jing saw that Room 07 was highlighted in the manual, she knew that this would trigger the final battle on the leaderboard, and she might run into Chen Yu and Cheng Yi.
But when she actually saw Chen Yu and Cheng Yi at the door of the secret room 07, she couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat, and then glared at Yan Hanxi beside her.
A handsome man is a source of trouble; all wars are started by him.
Cheng Yi also saw He Jing and Yan Hanxi. She hadn't expected her chance to turn the tables and slap them in the face to come so quickly. With Chen Yu by her side, she no longer felt ashamed or inferior, and confidently went up to greet them.
"Yan, He Jing, what a coincidence."
Chen Yu frowned and glanced at He Jing.
Is this the He Jing that Cheng Yi mentioned, who was jealous of her popularity and conspired with others to squeeze her out of the team?
She's actually quite pretty, and doesn't seem like that kind of person at all...
However, he still believed Cheng Yi's words more. After all, you can know a person's face but not their heart. Cheng Yi had been with him for so long, and his kind nature was evident. It was absolutely impossible for him to lie to Cheng Yi.
He Jing was also looking at Chen Yu. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he wasn't as handsome as she had imagined. No wonder the real heiress in the original novel was unmoved by him. Compared to the god-like Yan Hanxi and the exceptionally handsome He Ning, he was indeed lacking.
However, at first glance, she was certain that this was her formidable rival.
Escape Room 07 also has a prerequisite task, but instead of rewarding a doll, it involves making a preliminary guess about the mastermind behind all the escape rooms. Whether you guess right or wrong doesn't affect the final result; in short, it's a great opportunity to find the mastermind.
Besides their two groups, there were three other groups, with a total of ten people participating.
Cheng Yi smiled and said, "He Jing, I'm fourth."
He Jing said expressionlessly, "Congratulations."
Seeing her calm demeanor, Cheng Yi felt a surge of anger. She was putting on such a composed act; who knew how angry she was inside?
With that thought, she perked up again: "He Jing, I will try my best to surpass you. I hope you won't mind."
He Jing replied, "Um, whatever."
Since things are going according to the rules of novels anyway, she just gave up.
As long as she's not used as cannon fodder, anything goes.
Cheng Yi gritted her teeth slightly and decided to change her stance. She turned to look at Yan Hanxi and said in a voice barely above a whisper, "Classmate Yan, I will prove my strength to you."
Yan Hanxi glanced at her sideways and chuckled softly, "Don't worry, with me here, you won't get first place."
