Romantic Threesome
"How did you know?" Xiang Sheng asked, "Are you a Mingxue fan?"
Xia Yi shook his head.
Although I am not a fan, I have watched Mingxue’s live broadcasts too many times.
She knew all of Mingxue's little movements. When Mingxue was uneasy, she would subconsciously clench a small part of her sleeve, and her expression would be slightly different from usual.
The fake Mingxue would never be able to learn all the little movements of the real Mingxue exactly.
Mingxue smiled tiredly: "Thank you for speaking up for me. They doubted me no matter what I said just now. Even my partner has doubts about me. It's because we have been together for a long time, so you know me better."
Xia Yi didn't say anything, but a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Xiang Jiu's eyes rolled around. "So you need to spend a long time with someone to understand them. I'm different. After spending a whole day with Sister Yiyi, she must have gotten to know me pretty well."
"Puchi." Someone laughed out loud.
Mingxue looked back and saw that apart from the remaining confusion in Han Yi's eyes, the other players all had some grudge against her.
In stark contrast to Mingxue's situation in the dungeon where she was despised, the scene outside the dungeon showed a large number of fans feeling sorry for Mingxue.
As long as one is willing, the information left over from that time can be found. What's more, the recordings that were circulated at that time have also been dug out by those who are interested.
Videos of various competitions were also sold out online.
In the Octagonal Arena competition, the comparison pictures between Ming Xue and Xia Yi were circulated everywhere.
Xia Yi's live broadcast room was filled with insults from Ming Xue's fans, and the fans who had thanked him earlier felt as if they had swallowed a mouthful of ice.
——No wonder I recognized this as the real Mingxue at first glance. It turns out that I had been watching Mingxue for a while and was so jealous! If I stared at someone who was better at work than me every day, I would be familiar with her too!
Mingxue never mentioned her past in interviews, saying she was happy on the team and that her coach immediately sided with her when she was framed. Oh my god, the perpetrator is standing so close to her, and Xuexue is still so good-tempered. If she hadn't been disqualified, would she have made a name for herself in the octagonal arena and wouldn't have had to fight so hard for a small fortune to get into the ranks? She could be in a relationship now, happily starting a new family with the one she loves.
— I've finished eating the melon. My whole family is shocked. Even if someone like Xia Yi has some ability, he doesn't deserve to be liked by so many people, right?! His character is terrible!
"Fuck!" Gao Mingming spat in the livestream, "Manager, are we just not going to do anything?"
As soon as a problem occurred in Xia Yi’s live broadcast room, Gao Mingming went to his immediate superior’s office.
"No, I've checked. From Xia Yi's boxing team, only she and Mingxue made it to the stairs. The more they spend time together, the more flaws Mingxue will reveal, and the subsequent backlash will become greater and greater." Pan Xi smiled. "Even if there aren't any flaws, I heard the next game is a reward dungeon offered by the state, and the game's content is self-analysis."
"Self-analysis, the reward dungeons can't be opened from the player reward settlement, right? Why are the players in the ladder this time like a joke? It's not as formal as the first session at all. With so many people signing up this time, why did the national team let it down?"
Gao Mingming muttered dejectedly, "With so many people participating, I thought it would be an unprecedented competition. If I had known, I wouldn't have persuaded Sister Yiyi to participate."
"The country certainly has its own considerations." Pan Xi glanced at Gao Mingming. "Don't worry about it. Netizens are emotional creatures. Every one of them who scolded Xia Yi will be blamed. The guilt that will surge out will be even stronger. But Xia Yi has to get out of this ladder game alive. No one can help her with that."
"Yeah, I get it." Gao Mingming was in a bad mood. He stared at the live broadcast and kept typing to show his support.
Xia Yi didn't know the twists and turns in the live broadcast, and just responded to all the stares in silence.
Suddenly, music came from the loudspeakers in the villa. After the soothing and lively music like a wedding march, a sweet narration sounded.
"Look, the sunset outside is so beautiful!"
There are many windows in the villa, and Xia Yi can see the large patch of red glow left over from the sunset on the island as soon as he raises his eyes.
"Do you smell the aroma of food?"
Xia Yi looked at the dining table. He didn't know when all kinds of dishes appeared on the table, which was divided into six precise areas, corresponding to the six groups.
"The dishes on the table are the spoils of your victory in the haunted house game. Everyone, you can sit down and start your romantic candlelight dinner under the setting sun!"
"Please note that dinner can only be shared between couples!"
"After the candlelight dinner, the production team used the romance brought by the stars and the moon to create a small game to ensure that everyone would have a very happy evening!"
"Evening entertainment will determine tomorrow's breakfast, so everyone should give their best to the games later!"
The narration ended and the music stopped abruptly.
The whole room fell silent.
Xiangjiu was the first to move.
Xia Yi was obediently pulled over and sat down according to her number. There were six groups of dinners on the table. She and Xiang Jiu had the most complete dishes, with three whole dishes. The others had only one incomplete dish on their table, and the amount of food was pitifully small.
Mingxue and Han Yi were missing their staple food.
There was no fish in Lin Guo and Xia Linlin’s grilled fish.
Cai Qi and Lin Sheng’s pig’s trotter and kelp don’t have pig’s trotters.
There was no vermicelli in Luo Xiao and Huo Lin’s duck blood vermicelli soup.
Xiang Sheng and Bai Mianmian suffered the most.
"Sister Shengsheng, how do I eat this?" Bai Mianmian stared at the plate in front of her in surprise. There were no vegetables on the plate, only onions, ginger, garlic and various condiments. Two bowls of rice were placed there intact.
Bai Mianmian was full of complaints, but after calming down, she still sat back at the table and struggled to fill a bowl of rice into her stomach.
The only sound on the table was the clinking of chopsticks.
The dishes conjured up by the ghosts are exactly the same as those in reality, and are even more delicious and sweet.
After taking a few bites and feeling that he could maintain normal physical strength, Xia Yi stopped eating. Xiang Jiu, on the other hand, didn't care at all and ate up all the food on the plate.
The red glow from the window shone in, casting a faint red shadow over the entire dining table.
After dinner, a group of people stood up tacitly and searched the living room, but everyone was one meter away from each other. Even Xiang Sheng and Bai Mianmian, who seemed to be very good friends, did not stand close to each other.
"Sister Yiyi, aren't we going up?"
"Go up."
Xia Yi did not look for the first floor. She was the first to go upstairs. She skipped the second floor and went to the third floor. At noon, they came out of the room door and entered the haunted house illusion directly.
She had been wanting to come and see the door of the room for a long time.
Xiang Jiu walked until he was ahead of Xia Yi. He was the first to jump up the stairs to the third floor and looked into the corridor. "It's the same as this morning, nothing has changed." Xiang Jiu said as he walked inside. "The order of the photos is the same too."
Yes, the beautiful girl who was lost in a shipwreck and lost her relatives was rescued by a boy on the island. She took medicine while recuperating and fell in love with him over time. The last painting shows the boy and girl in love hugging each other in the sunset.
The picture is delicate and beautiful, like a color photo.
"Isn't it... different here?" The more Xia Yi looked at it, the more she felt that there seemed to be something different about the last painting. She moved the photo frame, and it moved lightly and it moved.
The photo frame was turned over and put down, and the picture suddenly changed.
The amiable scenery turned bloody, the clouds in the sky transformed into two embracing figures, surrounded by crowded sea water. The sunset glow was like a giant human figure standing upside down on the heads of the two figures, pressing the embracing figures slightly to bend them. The bright beach turned upside down and appeared gloomy and brown-black.
"It seems that not only the last painting, but all the paintings are wrong." Xiang Jiu quickly turned all the paintings over.
The flipped picture is still a love story of a hero saving a beauty. The boy is safe on the beach, and the girl is bravely fighting a monster in the sea. The monster is made up of the waves turned upside down, and a huge balloon broke into a strange-looking monster. Seeing the girl injured, the boy rushed out to save the girl heroically, but the beach was polluted. In the end, the two can only hug each other to try to slow down the world surrounded by endless monsters.
Xia Yi looked at it point by point, and then restored the photo frame to its original state.
"Sister Yiyi, someone has moved the photo frame." Xiangjiu said, pointing to the stains on the corner of the photo frame.
Xia Yi nodded and turned to look at her room: "Xiang Jiu, where did you put the balloon when you first entered the small villa?" Xia Yi remembered that she had casually put it in the corner of the room, but after the announcement at noon about their first group formation, she looked around the room and there was no trace of the balloon.
"Put it inside the room." Xiang Jiu said, pointing to the door opposite Xia Yi's room. "At that time, I thought you were coming, so I took a look at your room first, and then I took the balloons and a small amount of luggage to the room opposite. When I went to get the suitcase, you just happened to come over."
Xiang Jiu said as she pushed open the door and looked at the balloon in the corner of the room in surprise: "But the balloons before were not this big." The layout of Xiang Jiu's room was the same as hers, except that the light blue balloon in the corner was a circle larger than the pink balloon she received at the beginning, and the color was not as transparent, as if something was growing inside.
Xia Yi immediately opened the door to look at his room. The balloon inside the door had also grown bigger. It was originally the size of a small leather ball, but now it was as big as a basketball or a football.
With a gentle tug, the balloon trembled, but that was definitely not the pulling feeling of a light balloon.
Just as Xia Yi was about to speak, the balloon in his hand suddenly shrank and the lively female voice rang out again.
Xiang Jiu turned back into a kitten and jumped into Xia Yi's arms.
"I've heard that couples who go through hard times together are more likely to overcome difficulties and spend their future together. Detective mystery games are the most popular mystery games among young people today."
"So we worked together with Love Bang Bang TV and Comedy Battle Royale to create a special scene."
As soon as the sweet female voice in the speaker fell, Xia Yi felt a pair of claws appear on her shoulders, and a great force pushed her backwards.
Before Xia Yi opened her eyes, the strong scent of rotten roses filled her mouth. She covered her mouth and couldn't help coughing violently.
