Lin Luoqing followed Ji Yuxiao to the small door of the secret room and walked forward. The room was very dark. Ji Yuxiao held a flashlight while Lin Luoqing grabbed his arm, trembling.
Suddenly, he felt someone tap him. He immediately shouted ‘Ji Yuxiao’ and hugged the person beside him.
Ji Yuxiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “What’s wrong?”
“T-T-T… There is someone!” Lin Luoqing’s voice trembled.
Ji Yuxiao couldn’t help it. He pulled out the arm tightly held by him and put his arm around Lin Luoqing’s shoulder instead. This way, Lin Luoqing could lean into his arms.
“It’s okay. They are all NPCs. They are people, not ghosts.”
Of course, Lin Luoqing also knew this but he was still afraid!
He silently clung to Ji Yuxiao and grabbed his clothes.
Netizens saw it and showed a laugh. [Cling cling~]
[A scared Qing Qing is so cute~]
[Qing Qing, don’t be afraid. Mr Ji will always hug you!]
[Hahahaha, for yesterday’s script kill, it was Chairman Ji crazily taking the initiative. In today’s secret room, it is Qing Qing’s turn to cling to the other person. CP fans are satisfied!]
[Same satisfaction!]
Ji Yuxiao saw that he was afraid and couldn’t help speeding up his pace. He wanted to leave here earlier so that Lin Luoqing could feel at ease earlier. Then after a while, he heard Lin Luoqing calling out his name again.
“What’s wrong?” Ji Yuxiao asked doubtfully.
Lin Luoqing looked down at his feet. He lifted them but couldn’t lift them. His voice was slightly trembling. “My feet seem to be entangled in something.”
Ji Yuxiao lowered his head and took a look with his flashlight. It was a ball of rope that happened to be wrapped around Lin Luoqing’s ankles.
He squatted down and lowered his head to untie the rope for Lin Luoqing. Lin Luoqing looked at him out of the corner of his eyes, but felt a flash of light. He followed the direction and saw an NPC looking at him with a grimace.
Lin Luoqing crouched down in a fright and hugged Ji Yuxiao, who was untying the rope.
“What’s the matter?” Ji Yuxiao laughed.
Lin Luoqing was aggrieved. “He scared me!”
Ji Yuxiao touched his head with a smile. “It’s okay, it’s okay. He is just teasing you. Don’t be afraid.”
After he finished speaking, he used the flashlight to look around. Then he said to the NPC in the darkness, “Don’t scare him. Just remind me if there is any plot that needs to be triggered.”
Lin Luoqing nodded in his heart. He thought, ‘Right, scare Ji Yuxiao. Ji Yuxiao isn’t afraid.’
Wait, he finally reacted after realizing it. How could Ji Yuxiao not be afraid? He obviously said at breakfast that he was afraid of ghosts?
“Aren’t you afraid of ghosts?” He wondered.
Netizens saw him like this and laughed again. [Did he finally realize it?]
[My silly son, he lied to you.]
[Hahahahahaha, he isn’t afraid of ghosts. The one who is afraid of ghosts is you, Brother.]
[My brother is really a simple man.]
Ji Yuxiao nodded without changing his face. “Yes.”
“Then why are you so calm?”
“I’m not calm either,” Ji Yuxiao coaxed him. “I’m actually panicking in my heart.”
“Really?”
“Of course, it is true. Aren’t I just pretending to be strong in front of you?” Ji Yuxiao continued to coax him.
Lin Luoqing was very suspicious.
Ji Yuxiao looked sincere. “It is just like how some people don’t show it on their faces when drinking alcohol. I don’t show it on my face when feeling afraid of ghosts, so ordinary people can’t see it.”
Netizens: [??? Is this okay?]
[What is the point of being afraid of ghosts if you don’t show it on your face?]
[Not only are you shameless, but you aren’t afraid at all!]
[Just spoil him, Mr Ji!]
[Mr Ji is a good man. A good man should be this sweet!]
[It is so sweet, so sweet. Chairman Ji really spoils him.]
[Wu wu wu, who ships it again? I ship it.]
Lin Luoqing became even more skeptical after hearing this.
Ji Yuxiao helped him untie the rope, took his hand and stood up. “Okay, let’s move on.”
Lin Luoqing nodded.
Ji Yuxiao took the initiative to hug him. Then Lin Luoqing realized at that time that this was a live broadcast. He only said last night that Ji Yuxiao should be a bit more restrained today.
So he shrugged and distanced himself a bit. “It’s okay. I’m not so scared now. It is fine like this.”
Ji Yuxiao saw him pretending to be calm and was quite skeptical. “Really?”
“Of course,” Lin Luoqing said firmly. “I’m not afraid of these things. I just couldn’t adapt for a while.”
The barrage laughed. [Qing Qing, why are you so stubborn!]
[Not afraid of ghosts Lin Luoqing [dog head].]
[Qing Qing, it isn’t that you aren’t used to it. You are simply unable to adapt.]
[Hahahaha, Qing Qing, are you a duck?]
[I will bet a cucumber. After five minutes, Qing Qing will throw himself into Chairman Ji’s arms again.]
[Who are you looking down on? I think it will be three minutes [amused].]
[Hahahaha, I guess one minute.]
[Good guys, good guys, all of you are fake fans. Obviously, it can’t be more than 30 seconds!]
As everyone was talking, they heard a loud ‘Ji Yuxiao’ again. In the next second, the person who had just said he wasn’t afraid had hugged Ji Yuxiao beside him tightly, his voice trembling. “T-T… Things are moving again.”
Ji Yuxiao chuckled while wondering how long it had been since this person left his arms. Was it more than 30 seconds?
This was really honest.
He hugged Lin Luoqing again. “Let’s go take a look together.”
Lin Luoqing nodded with apprehension.
Netizens never expected him to re-enter Ji Yuxiao’s arms so quickly and questioned it.
[Is this 30 seconds?]
[Hahaha, it is less than 30 seconds. Qing Qing, you shouldn’t be so stubborn when speaking.]
[Hmph, doesn’t he have to save face?]
[Along the way, I keep hearing the words ‘Ji Yuxiao Ji Yuxiao Ji Yuxiao’ and I’m dying of laughter.]
[Chairman Ji: What can I do? Just spoil him.]
[Hahahaha, Qing Qing is so cute. If I was Mr Ji, I would also like to spoil him.]
[Of course. Our Qing Qing is so cute and good-looking. How can Mr Ji endure this?]
[If it can be endured, it can only be said that Mr Ji is really a straight man.]
[I don’t think so. Can a straight man hold another straight man in his arms, touch his head and say, ‘Don’t be afraid, be good’? [amused]]
[That’s right. If this pair has nothing going on, I will never ship a CP again!]
[Me too!!]
By the time Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao came out after receiving the task, it wasn’t just the netizens watching the live broadcast, but even the guests waiting outside were full of the words ‘Ji Yuxiao.’
“Brother Lin’s voice is quite clear,” Qian Yongan sighed emotionally.
“It is also penetrating,” Peng Feijie added.
“The enunciation is very clear. No wonder why his lines are good,” Song Xiuwen analyzed.
“His emotions are also very abundant. His emotions are in place,” Zhai Tinglan continued.
Zhao Yaming, “…….”
Zhao Yaming thought about it before commenting, “Then he is quite suitable for being a host.”
Sun Liang agreed. “Yes.”
The barrage was once again filled with a joyful atmosphere.
After everyone laughed enough, Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao came out.
They combined the clues they received and were surprised to find that it was a mathematical problem.
Everyone looked at each other. Lin Luoqing saw this and said in his heart that it was better for him to try it himself.
He sat down at the table. He picked up a paper and pen from the table and started to calculate the problem. However, it had really been some time before he graduated and Lin Luoqing forgot some of the complicated formulas early on.
Just as he was thinking this, Ji Yuxiao’s voice entered his ears.
Lin Luoqing turned around. Ji Yuxiao had lowered his head, chin almost touching his shoulder as he looked at the problem-solving steps in front of him.
Seeing him look over, Ji Yuxiao glanced at him. Their eyes met and the distance between the two of them was a bit ambiguous.
The CP fans watching the live broadcast immediately hugged themselves and screamed excitedly. [Isn’t this a kiss?]
[Ahhhh why isn’t there a head pressing team at this time? Press the heads of both of them for me!]
[Kiss kiss kiss, hurry up! I’m dying of anxiety!]
[Why am I not there now? I’m dying of anxiety!!]
[Whoever is there, quickly press their heads together!]
[F*k, what type of idol drama plot is this? It is really too pure and ambiguous. The two of them really dare to say that they don’t have anything?]
[Mr Ji doesn’t dare to say it [dog head].]
[Qing Qing doesn’t dare say it [amused].]
In the end, it was Lin Luoqing who reacted first. He turned his head in time and looked down at the white paper in front of him.
Ji Yuxiao coughed unnaturally. The sound wasn’t loud but it was deafening when it fell into the ears of the CP fans.
[Did you hear that? Chairman Ji coughed.]
[I heard it. If he was a straight man, would he cough? Shouldn’t he be embarrassed at this time?]
[Mr Ji, something is wrong with you! You are so wrong!]
[Chairman Ji definitely likes Qing Qing! If he doesn’t like Qing Qing then I will eat the computer in front of me!]
[Although, Mr Ji’s cough sounds quite nice [covers face].]
[Mr Ji’s voice is very good.]
[He is also very smart. I forgot such a complicated formula but he still remembers.]
[He is also handsome!]
[And rich! God, he is a perfect man. Qing Qing, just say yes!]
[Yes, Mom agrees to you being together!]
Ji Yuxiao watched Lin Luoqing holding the pen with his head lowered but not moving. He repeated what he just said. Then Lin Luoqing reacted and continued to calculate according to his words.
His mind was a bit chaotic. The scene just now always reappeared. His mind was full of Ji Yuxiao’s expression and he wasn’t able to concentrate. Fortunately, he didn’t have time to think about anything at this moment. He wrote what Ji Yuxiao said and calculated it according to this. Then he could calculate the final answer.
Netizens looked at the tacit cooperation between them. They either praised Ji Yuxiao for being a study god or Lin Luoqing for being smart. Finally, they said again that the two people were a perfect match.
Peng Feijie entered the password according to the answer. The door opened and everyone successfully escaped.
Netizens in the live broadcast room also applauded and cheered for them. [Success! That’s great!]
[This time, the MVP has to be given to Ji Yuxiao. If it wasn’t for him in the end, they definitely wouldn’t have been able to calculate the password.]
[Yes. Qing Qing’s performance might be very good but he is a bit afraid of ghosts [covers face].]
[Both of them performed very well. They also did well in yesterday’s script kill. It is quite rare.]
[It is really surprising that Mr Ji can perform as well as an amateur. I’ve only seen Lin Luoqing’s works before. I didn’t expect him to be so interesting in real life.]
[I hope that Qing Qing and Mr Ji can go on other variety shows to play. They are smart and open. Variety show lovers are ecstatic!]
[Yes yes, please think about it!]
[Please, go to a romance show. I can already imagine the sweetness of their love!]
[I have the same request!]
Of course, Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao didn’t know what netizens were saying about them. The two of them were walking back with the other guests, following Zhao Yaming and Sun Liang.
Lin Luoqing’s mind returned at this time. He felt that this escape room was quite fun. Sure enough, ghosts weren’t that scary. He thought so. How could he be afraid of ghosts?
However, at 11:30 p.m., he lay in bed. Once he closed his eyes, he always replayed the scene of playing in the secret room during the day.
For a while, it was the doll under the table grinning at him. The other was a person on the wall grimacing at him.
The wind blew through the leaves. Lin Luoqing opened his eyes in fright and silently wrapped himself in the small quilt.
Ji Yuxiao was lying on the bed. He was just about to fall asleep when he heard a small knock on the door.
The sound wasn’t very coherent. The person who came seemed to be hesitant.
Ji Yuxiao barely opened his eyes. He got out of bed doubtfully, opened the door and saw his little boyfriend standing outside the door.
“I’m afraid you will have nightmares at night, so I’m here to accompany you,” Lin Luoqing said awkwardly.
Ji Yuxiao nodded while thinking he understood. It seemed Lin Luoqing was scared during the day and was afraid he would have nightmares at night, so he didn’t dare sleep alone.
He smiled and opened the door, looking overjoyed. “That’s great. I was too scared to sleep just now.”
Lin Luoqing quickly slipped in. He thought in his heart, ‘Fortunately, I got away with it again.’
