When He Jing successfully escaped from the escape room 07, she still couldn't believe that she had overshadowed Chen Yu and overshadowed Cheng Yi's leading lady aura.
All of this is thanks to...
He Jing couldn't help but secretly glance at Yan Hanxi. If it weren't for him, she definitely wouldn't have been able to get the highest score in the escape room 07.
As expected of the male lead, only his male lead aura can rival Cheng Yi's female lead aura.
Yan Hanxi caught that glance. His thin lips curved slightly, and his magnetic voice, like the sound of a cello, asked, "So, am I a good partner? Did I hold you back?"
He Jing grunted and mumbled, "Barely passable."
Yan Hanxi chuckled, his dark eyes sparkling like stars.
Cheng Yi escaped from the secret room 07 less than two minutes after He Jing, and saw this scene right when she came out.
She followed behind Chen Yu, enduring his cold violence—he hadn't said a single word to her throughout the entire escape room 07 game—leaving her feeling embarrassed and humiliated.
She clutched her skirt tightly, making it messy and wrinkled, barely managing to bear it all. But when she came out, she saw He Jing and Yan Hanxi gazing at each other affectionately, their atmosphere ambiguous and warm, and she almost broke down.
Why?
Why was He Jing able to win Yan Hanxi's favor?
If Yan Hanxi liked him, none of this would have happened.
She clearly had a feeling that Yan Hanxi would like her, so where did things go wrong!
Chen Yu said, "I don't plan to play the remaining secret rooms. Let's split up here."
Cheng Yi was quickly pulled back to her senses. Upon hearing this, her face paled again, and tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to fall. However, Chen Yu showed no sympathy whatsoever, not even glancing at her before turning and leaving.
Feeling wronged and desperate, Cheng Yi called out, "Brother Chen Yu."
Chen Yu stopped and turned around.
Before Cheng Yi could even feel happy, Chen Yu said coldly, "Actually, after thinking about it carefully, what you said in the secret room was indeed problematic. He Jing clearly stated that she didn't think collecting playing cards was the key to solving the mystery, but you deliberately misinterpreted her and led everyone to attack her. I think what you said to me before was all to gain my sympathy so that you could use me as a tool, so you deliberately fabricated or distorted the facts, right?"
Cheng Yi hurriedly tried to explain, "No, Brother Chen Yu, I..."
Chen Yu interrupted again: "I never thought that a top scorer in the college entrance examination would be treated like a fool. You're really something. I hope we never see each other again."
After saying that, he left without looking back and disappeared in no time.
Cheng Yi was stunned, completely stunned.
It took her a long time to come to her senses, and she bit her lip angrily.
Is it just that he lost and got angry?
What's so great about it?
She wouldn't even look at a man who couldn't even handle He Jing.
Cheng Yi snorted, unable to calm down for a long time.
Since she started fighting He Jing, she has never won a single battle. She can't keep going like this; it's time to change her strategy.
Cheng Yi stood there for a long time before a slight smile appeared on his face.
...
The escape room game didn't end until 4 PM, by which time the sun had already shifted to the west, and the light had turned orange.
When He Jing came out of the secret room, He Ning and the others were already waiting at the door. They had been playing for a full eight hours.
Upon seeing her, He Sui rushed over, his eyes sparkling, and asked, "He Jing, how are you feeling?"
