"Should we give it to them or not?"
Shen Zhiyi asked again.
I wanted to kick him again.
As soon as his left foot was extended, it was caught by Chi Wangye's large hand.
He held the instep of her foot, his thumb unconsciously stroking her ankle gently.
How are you going to bully me?
His voice was hoarse as he looked up and asked her.
Shen Zhiyi felt uneasy all over from his burning gaze.
She abruptly withdrew her foot.
She quickly burrowed into the covers and wrapped herself up like a silkworm.
"It's just... bullying them at will."
"It's none of your business how I bully you."
"The kind of situation where you can't resist."
Her deliberately raised voice, coming from under the covers, sounded muffled and lacked any intimidation.
All that's left is a soft, lingering resentment.
It's like being coquettish.
"Fine," Chi Wangye's voice was hoarse. "You can bully me however you want."
He moved closer and whispered in her ear through the blanket, "Shen Xiaoyi, I want to see just how fierce you are."
"Please, don't show any mercy."
Messy strands of hair fell down.
Cover his arrogant and flamboyant eyebrows and eyes.
A dark light flickered in his jet-black pupils.
That was no longer concealed... anticipation and excitement.
Shen Zhiyi blushed.
She shrank deeper into the blanket.
*
Chi Wangye's chosen escape room location is on a bustling ancient riverside street.
Why did you choose this place?
Shen Zhiyi looked around curiously.
It's still afternoon, but there are already quite a few people coming and going, eating and drinking.
"I'm afraid some people will be scared."
Chi Wangye smiled casually, "When we come out and see so many people, we won't be too scared to sleep at night."
Shen Zhiyi gave him a soft glare.
"I'm not afraid."
"Is that so?" Chi Wangye raised an eyebrow, tilted his head, and said towards the entrance, "Then let's go in."
"Fine, I'll go."
Shen Zhiyi gripped the bag strap tightly, took a quiet breath, and stepped into the entrance first.
It was very dark inside.
The only light was some red and green glow.
With the background music, it did indeed seem somewhat eerie and terrifying.
Chi Wangye turned on his flashlight.
A beam of white light illuminated the small area around them.
Night blindness did not occur.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
“There’s a door over there.” He shone his flashlight on a wooden door not far away. “If you find the key, you can get through.”
"Hmm." Shen Zhiyi bent down and rummaged through the props and decorations next to her.
Chi Wangye watched her retreat, his eyes flashing slightly, but he remained standing still.
Shen Zhiyi bumped into his arms with a thud.
He gently supported her waist, saying, "Be careful."
Shen Zhiyi blushed and turned to the side, "Why are you standing there without moving?"
"I'm scared." His eyes looked innocent.
Shen Zhiyi: ...
She suddenly caught a faint fragrance.
It came from him.
Woody scent.
“You…” she looked up at him, “You changed your perfume?”
"Hmm." Chi Wangye lowered his eyelashes.
Both of their faces suddenly turned red.
The surrounding air became inexplicably still, and even breathing became ambiguous.
Shen Zhiyi lowered her head and turned away.
She hurriedly got out of his arms.
"Find the key, find the key..."
Chi Wangye's lips curled slightly as he glanced to the side and fixed his gaze on a coded mechanism.
He walked over, looked down, and only glanced at it.
He flicked the lever a few times with his long fingers.
Click to unlock —
Take a key out of it.
"Here you go."
Shen Zhiyi took it blankly, "You've been here before?"
"No." Chi Wangye walked to the wooden door and said calmly, "This is my first time here."
He has night blindness.
I was never brave enough to play escape room games before.
"How could it be so fast..." Shen Zhiyi jogged over, unlocked the door with her key, "It really is this one!"
Chi Wangye scoffed.
He reached out and ruffled her hair.
"Let's go, you idiot."
"You're the idiot!" Shen Zhiyi punched him and then bent down to crawl under his arm.
Chi Wangye smiled and followed her.
They are very fast.
They quickly overcame several obstacles and led directly to the final secret room.
The boss behind the scenes was a bit flustered when he saw this.
"Those two, especially the guy, are they cheating? Huh?"
"I usually ask customers to open the door for me when I'm asking them such difficult questions. They just let me through like it's free!"
He took out a walkie-talkie and directed the NPCs inside.
"The final hurdle, let's scare them."
"If there's no experience at all, how can young couples get closer? That would defeat the purpose of opening this escape room!"
An employee dressed in a white female ghost uniform nodded solemnly upon hearing the boss's instruction.
"Okay, leave it to me!"
She suddenly floated out when Shen Zhiyi opened a cubicle.
Shen Zhiyi was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
Behind her, Chi Wangye bent down, shone a flashlight upwards from his chin, rolled his eyes, and slowly brought his face close to the female ghost's.
"Ah!!!" The female ghost was so frightened that she floated away.
The cubicle door slammed shut.
Shen Zhiyi: ...
The owner of the monitoring room: ...
"Provocation! This is a bloody provocation!" the boss roared. "You ghost with the wooden axe, go and chop off his flashlight!"
"Yes, boss!"
Shen Zhiyi turned around and was startled to see Chi Wangye's still-present expression.
