So it was actually very obvious what to shout. Lin Xingjiao pursed his lips. He subconsciously thought it was not appropriate.
But the way Lu Qi looked at him made his already dizzy thoughts even more confused.
Lu Qi wanted him to shout, and he went on the variety show in the beginning just to cooperate with Lu Qi, and he is still on the variety show now.
”Husband?” He asked tentatively, looking at him with a hint of doubt, hoping for Lu Qi’s response.
Then Lin Xingjiao saw that Lu Qi seemed surprised.
It was clearly Lu Qi who asked him to shout, so why was he surprised in the end?
”Yeah.” Lu Qi nodded slightly. The moment Lin Xingjiao called out the name, he almost suspected that Lin Xingjiao didn’t know the meaning of this name.
That should be impossible.
So he was willing to shout like that, Lu Qi thought calmly, and after the filming was over, he would need to explain something to Lin Xingjiao.
You don’t have to wait for it to end, as long as it’s not being broadcast live.
Just as he made up his mind, he heard Lin Xingjiao say with a troubled look on his face: “It’s a bit strange to shout like that.”
Lu Qi: “It’s fine. It won’t be strange once you get used to it.”
Lin Xingjiao had originally made up his mind not to shout like that, but Lu Qi seemed to be quite persistent.
Anyway, it’s just two days, and he and Lu Qi are alone together during these two days, so there probably won’t be many opportunities to call each other by nicknames.
Lin Xingjiao thought that they might not have many opportunities to meet in the future, so he didn’t say his objection halfway.
After the chat, the two of them started to discuss how to pass the next level. This time, what was needed to pass the level was not a key, but a string of passwords.
The doors of the level are voice-activated.
The white shadow just now did not go out from the door they were going to go out, but from a place next to it that looked like a dog hole.
It would probably be impossible to reach the destination by drilling out like this, so the two did not try.
In other words, the audience didn’t see it, otherwise Bai Ying would have to be praised for his dedication to his job.
They started looking for clues separately, but this time the search was not smooth. The courtyard was empty and there was no place to hide anything.
After searching in vain, Lu Qi suddenly asked: “Just try it first.”
Lin Xingjiao was not a person who liked to go against the grain, so naturally he had no objections.
According to the process given by the program team, their current characters had just finished their meal, so Lu Qi and Lin Xingjiao began to try it out one after another.
”I’m done.”
”Someone, withdraw.”
“…”
The door never responded. If Lin Xingjiao hadn’t been able to see the flashing light on it, he would have almost suspected that it was broken.
[The probability of guessing correctly is too small.]
[And it’s boring.]
Lu Qi didn’t feel the audience’s opinions, but he knew that trying this way was not a solution.
He thought about it and said to Lin Xingjiao, “Let’s reorganize the existing clues.”
”According to our status, we are here to visit the owner of the garden, so we are his friends. Our relationship should not be very good, otherwise he would not insist on his own bedtime.”
It is common to stay up all night when good friends come over.
”Of course we cannot rule out the possibility that he is a weirdo.”
”This possibility is quite high.” Lu Qi thought of the white shadow just now. Although he was dressed rather scary, he could be seen as a servant with a hunched body.
It is quite strange to let one’s servant become like this, whether it is intentional or for a reason.
Lin Xingjiao seemed to understand what he heard, after all, he didn’t see the white shadow just now.
”We can’t find any clues using normal people’s logic. According to weird people’s logic, why would he invite us to dinner here? Or, does he really have friends?”
”What do you mean? That sounds a bit scary.”
“But it does make sense.”
”There are generally only two reasons for holding a banquet: a happy event or a sad event.”
”I know this question. To translate it, Brother Lu means that either someone has died in this house, or someone new has come.”
”Newcomer?”
”A new baby or a new wife is considered a new addition.”
”I suddenly thought of another possibility. Taking a concubine can also be considered. With such a grand ceremony…who would marry her?”
Lin Xingjiao felt a little dizzy and didn’t understand what was going on. His face also felt a little hot.
I don’t know what Lu Qi is thinking about now.
Lin Xingjiao was thinking this and looked over, and found that Lu Qi had already walked to the stone table, picked up the wine cup and took another sip.
Then Lin Xingjiao saw him coming back and said to the door, “The wine was drugged.”
Ding—the white light on the door turned green, the password was correct.
[??? I don’t understand.]
[I don’t understand +1, how do you judge this?]
Lu Qi took Lin Xingjiao into the next room, and the door at the back closed automatically again.
New scene.
[Wow, this scene shocked my whole family.]
[Is this the wedding room?]
[It should be. It’s so red and has a happy character on it.]
The new scene is directly the bedroom, which is divided into two halves with a screen in the middle.
Behind the screen is the bed, and in front of the screen are the table and chairs for meeting guests.
The voice-activated door closed automatically, and candles were used for lighting inside the house.
Everything in front of Lin Xingjiao’s eyes was a little blurry and his vision was extremely hazy, but even so, he could still recognize the furnishings in the room.
There are large areas of red, and everywhere you look is red.
The purpose of this bedroom is self-evident, it is a wedding room.
[By the way, Brother Lu, aren’t you going to explain this to us? QAQ]
[Why do I feel that Jiaojiao’s condition is a little strange?]
[A bit like being drunk?]
[It seems a bit shocking how much he drank just now.]
Lu Qi obviously realized the problem, as Lin Xingjiao was a little shaky when he took the last few steps.
It’s even worse now. I’m swaying with my eyes closed, trying to find a support point. Now half of my body is stuck to the wall.
”According to the setting in the story, we should be the two concubines taken in by the owner of the garden, so Baiying called us ‘Madam’ before. Just now when we were outside, the third set of bowls and chopsticks belonged to him.”
”For reasons unknown to us, he has not come yet. Only a servant in the house is receiving us.”
”Just now I saw the wine jug, and there was a word ‘medicine’ underneath it, so I said that.”
[Two at once?]
[The owner of this garden is in good health (fog)]
[Am I the only one who feels that Lu Ge speaks so naturally?]
[That’s also guessable.]
[It may not feel right, but at least the door is open.]
Lu Qi found that Lin Xingjiao’s current condition was very consistent with the setting of being drugged in the script.
Then just a small sip can make you drunk.
I don’t know how to comment on this. Lu Qi still remembered that he was broadcasting live, and roughly explained why he said that to the person opposite him.
Lu Qi said to Lin Xingjiao, who was leaning against the wall with her eyes closed: “How do you feel?”
”I’m okay now.” Lin Xingjiao just closed his eyes to take a rest because of the uncontrollable dizziness. Now Lu Qi came to ask him, and he was indeed much better.
He almost understood Lu Qi’s explanation, his only question was why the owner of the garden was not in the bedroom either?
And if they were not guests but concubines, and had just come in today, what more important matter could have caused him to be absent?
”So is the time limit gone now?” Lin Xingjiao asked. They had been rushing the progress before in order to prevent him from falling asleep, but now that they were already in the bedroom, there was probably no need to rush.
”Not necessarily.” Lu Qi picked up the card on the table in front of the screen and turned it over to show Lin Xingjiao, “New task.”
The words on the card were: Escape from the Garden.
[Seeing this kind of escape mission… makes me scared.]
[Me too, because I don’t know if the person who threatened me will come out.]
[According to this setting, it seems that if you encounter it, you will die. You can’t fight it head-on.]
[After all, according to the setting, they are two weak women.]
[Why did you run away? Were you forced to do so?]
[Two at a time, such an outrageous thing, it’s hard to be voluntary.]
[Maybe they didn’t know this was the case before, but now that they’ve discovered it, they’ve decided to leave.]
Lin Xingjiao looked at it for a while and nodded seriously: “Then hurry up.”
There was a window in the house. Lu Qi tried it and Lin Xingjiao shook his head: “It can’t be opened.”
If they could open it, they would just run away.
There was no way out in front of the screen, so Lin Xingjiao went around behind the screen and immediately saw a large bed covered by a red gauze curtain.
[Will this not lead to an open-door kill?]
[I’ll just open the curtain and scare you.]
It was obvious that Lin Xingjiao had never played this kind of game before, so naturally he didn’t see any warning of danger next.
But Lin Xingjiao still stopped and waited for Lu Qi.
”Don’t be afraid.” Lu Qi added this sentence and held his hand. Lin Xingjiao didn’t let go of his hand just now, and he felt that he was still a little drunk.
Otherwise, you can’t rush so fast by yourself.
Lin Xingxing smiled at him, his long black eyelashes curled up, and he didn’t tell Lu Qi that he was not afraid, but was waiting for him.
There was another bottle of wine on the small table next to the bed. Lin Xingjiao was still thirsty and felt drunk. When Lu Qi lifted the curtain to check, he took another sip.
When Lu Qi turned around and looked at him without saying anything, Lin Xingjiao raised the bottle in his hand and asked, “Do you want some too?”
Lu Qi’s smile faded a little, and he asked, “Don’t you think the wine is spicy?”
Lin Xingjiao nodded his head up and down. It was spicy, but he was thirsty, so there was nothing he could do.
There was nothing behind the curtain. It was just there to create suspense and make people afraid to look. When Lu Qi just went in, he triggered the mechanism. When he turned off the recording, everything was gone.
Judging from Lin Xingjiao’s expression, he didn’t hear it either.
”Would you like to lie down for a while?”
They probably won’t be able to find a way out for the time being. Lu Qi looked at Lin Xingjiao’s obviously unstable figure. If he hadn’t been afraid of scaring him, he wouldn’t have let go.
It turns out there was nothing inside, but the problem outside was bigger.
Lin Xingjiao looked inside from behind Lu Qi. It seemed that the bed had no other flaws except that the color was too bright, and it seemed very soft.
So Lin Xingjiao: “Okay.”
[Hey, we’re on vacation again.]
[It turns out that I am the only one who is truly afraid that the garden owner will suddenly come back.]
[I was quite scared at first, but now that they are not nervous, then… I won’t be anxious either.]
[The eunuch who doesn’t want to be the emperor is stubborn.jpg]
Lu Qi asked Lin Xingjiao to lie down while he looked for clues.
He guessed that there were no other clues now, and the main purpose now was to wait.
Lu only thought that they would have to wait until someone else came before they could find other clues. All they could do now was wait.
Then the chase started directly.
So it’s okay for Lin Xingjiao to sleep for a while to conserve his energy.
Lu Qi thought about it and looked at Lin Xingjiao. He was not asleep yet, his eyelids were still moving slightly, and he didn’t feel sound even when he was asleep.
Lu Qi lowered his gaze and saw Lin Xingjiao’s light red lips which were watery from drinking.
He suddenly remembered what he had said to Lin Xingjiao before. If he asked Lin Xingjiao to kiss him back now, he wondered if it was possible.
When Lu Qi was about to get up and walk around again, he suddenly found that Lin Xingjiao had opened his eyes and had been staring at him for an unknown period of time.
After their eyes met, Lin Xingjiao was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he looked at Lu Qi from a completely new angle through his drunken eyes and through the red veil. He inexplicably read the hidden meaning in Lu Qi’s eyes.
The dark pupils were mixed with chaotic gray, not very clear, but he remembered his debt: “I did it before, are you okay now?”
He was talking about a kiss.
