Deadly Trap

Chapter 107 Extra: The Room You Can't Leave

The white room was pure and flawless, with no windows, no doors, and not even a seam between the walls and the ceiling, except for two pure white, streamlined bar stools.

Su Li sat properly on the bar stool, wearing a mint green shirt dress, her bright yellow tropical floral mules carefully set in place, and a glimpse of white lace bra trim peeking out from the neckline.

Gu Mufeng appeared relaxed. He had one arm around the back of the chair, one long leg planted firmly on the ground, as if ready to leap up and protect Su Li at any moment. His naturally aloof and beautiful almond-shaped eyes framed a sharp, royal blue suit, and his frizzy hair fell heavily over his nose. He cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

"Isn't this an interview? The room is completely white, this host is pretty boring," Gu Mufeng quipped casually.

Welcome to the 'room you can't leave'!

The sound came from somewhere, but the system noise in the room couldn't suppress the gloating and excitement.

Su Li immediately understood: "Oh? I know, it's the 'you can't leave if you don't do it' room that's popular online, right?"

“Simple.” Gu Mufeng’s expression changed, and without saying a word, he began to take off his suit jacket.

The system immediately screamed, "Stop! Stop! Just answer truthfully! Please, stop!"

Gu Mufeng slightly pursed his lips and tied the collar of his white shirt, which had just revealed the scar and the tip of his collarbone, back to its original position.

"Alright, let's begin the questions." Having already witnessed how proactive this person was, the system immediately posed the opening question:
"What was your absolute first impression of them?"

Without a second thought, Su Li quickly and calmly replied, "Rich. Quite a gentleman. Who would have thought he'd be such a good actor?"

Gu Mufei paused for a second, then coughed lightly, a rare occurrence: "Untamed wildness."

Recalling the scene, his heart still raced slightly. The love at first sight was like poison; the instant shock was unforgettable.

Who usually does most of the housework?

“Him.” Su Li answered instantly. Gu Mufeng’s slight mysophobia was already evident.

Who spends more money?

"Absolutely not him." Su Li pointed instantly and ruthlessly. Gu Mufeng never even looks at price tags when he shops.

"Who takes the initiative more in flirting?"

"It has to be Gu Mufeng." Su Li was absolutely certain. Although she was good at flirting, the desire of the person beside her was like a perpetual motion machine that never stopped working.

Gu Mufeng rubbed his forehead in exasperation: "Why ask such a simple question in a locked room? This room is so unrefined."

"Ahem, now the problem has escalated!" The system automatically ignored the teasing and retorted, "The most embarrassing place you've ever been intimate?"

"In the car," Gu Mufeng replied calmly and casually.

The system ruthlessly commented: "Everyone in the car already knows, huh? That's alright."

Gu Mufeng was shocked. He immediately sat up straight from his relaxed, even somewhat bored, posture: "'Everyone'? How did they know?"

Su Li smiled faintly, her face slightly flushed as she savored the moment:

"Mu Fei was referring to another instance of having sex in a car. I advise everyone not to flirt in a sports car. Because someone's space was limited, they ended up having to use the convertible top, making it completely open-air—"

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Mufeng swiftly covered Su Li's mouth with his hand, his veins clearly visible, his ears turning red: "Next question."

Who has more severe separation anxiety?

Just as Su Li was about to raise her hand to answer, Gu Mufei unexpectedly answered first: "Me."

Su Li raised an eyebrow.

Covering his lips with his hand, Gu Mufeng subtly avoided her gaze: "But I won't show it."

Su Li's cheeks flushed with surprise.

Who gets jealous more?

Su Li immediately answered, "Gu Mufeng."

Gu Mufeng hesitated for a long time, a rare occurrence, pressing his brow in resistance. But in the end, he helplessly lowered his head, squinting as he admitted, "If you really have to say... I'll take the blame."

Su Li blushed and slightly raised the corners of her mouth: "It's so obvious. Mu Mu, how could you hesitate?"

A light, sweet scent filled the room.

"How about we talk about our ideal type?"

Su Li immediately became very interested:

“First of all, he has to be handsome.” The emerald engagement ring, like a large rock candy, swayed brilliantly. Su Li’s hand began to seriously gesture a certain shape, making it impossible to tell who it was.

"He has to be taller than me, and not fat. He needs to be mature, steady, and not crazy; his intelligence, willpower, and execution skills must all be top-notch. He must have his own career, be decisive in external affairs but also considerate and understanding at home; he can't be a silent type or a chatterbox. Oh, and..."

Blah blah blah, Su Li counted on her fingers for five minutes, meticulously refining her mental quantification list, before suddenly snapping back to reality and remembering that Gu Mufeng was beside her. She added a casual, comforting remark that it didn't necessarily have to meet all the criteria, before hesitatingly saying:

"Uh, Mu Fei, what about you? What's your ideal type?" Su Li was super enthusiastic, blinking her eyes at him repeatedly.

Gu Mufeng pursed his lips and smiled as he looked at her lively appearance: "...You sometimes do silly things."

Su Li blushed instantly and pretended to pinch his muscular physique beneath his suit. "Ahem, be serious, no flirting." The system quickly stopped them, its voice sly, "You look so sweet together. How about we talk about who's better at arguing?"

At the same time, the two pointed at each other, and the air was incredibly tense.

Who is harder to appease?

"Gu Mufeng." "Su Li." The two spoke in unison, then glared at each other.

Su Li simply laughed in exasperation, her charming eyes flashing with mockery: "Every time this person argues, the air freezes, and he seems to have the upper hand as if he could sever all emotional ties at any moment. He's terrifyingly angry. How can we even argue?"

Hearing Su Li's words, Gu Mufeng was taken aback. He severed all ties of affection? Clearly—

Gu Mufeng calmly retorted: "When you argue, every word you say is like a knife, stabbing straight to the heart. You're completely unyielding to either soft or hard approaches, and you threaten to run away from home at the drop of a hat. When you're angry, it lasts at least three days."

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a little awkward, the system quickly asked out of curiosity, "So who has more experience in romantic relationships? Gu Mufeng? After all, you're good-looking and five years older than Su Li."

But Gu Mufeng pointed a finger at Su Li without hesitation. Su Li raised her chin and hit the nail on the head: "Gu Mufeng doesn't know anything about love, he only knows how to manipulate, okay? If it weren't for my poverty alleviation work..."

Gu Mufeng raised an eyebrow, seemingly acknowledging that he had nothing to say.

"So what do you think is something the other side absolutely cannot do well?"

Su Li smiled slightly: "Tell him to hold back and ignore me."

Gu Mufeng stared at her, who was smiling sweetly, and said, "Make her give in."

The two looked at each other in surprise, and a sweet feeling welled up in their hearts again.

"If tomorrow were the end of the world, how would you spend time with each other?"

Su Li paused for a moment, her peach blossom eyes filled with uncertain confusion. She pondered seriously and said, "I can't imagine it. I hope that no one will ever be in that situation."

Gu Mufeng remained calm and confident, as if he had already planned it out: "It will be the same as every day."

As he spoke, he steadily took Su Li's slightly cool fingertips in his hand.

"Alright then," the room system suddenly said slowly, "it's time to end this petty squabble. Now it's time to ask some tough questions. What is it that you two hate, or even despise, the most about each other?"

The hand she was holding trembled slightly, but she didn't loosen her grip. Gu Mufeng remained expressionless, coldly trying to smooth things over: "No, I don't think so."

A moment of silence. Just as the system was urging her to answer before leaving the room, Su Li, despite his grip tightening, suddenly rested her chin on her hand and slowly uttered a voice:
"Gu Mufeng, even in the truth-or-dare room you have to control the situation, you act so convincingly, you don't even flinch when you lie. I can't stand it."

Gu Mufeng, however, was clearly restraining his grip on her hand, his knuckles turning white. His eyes narrowed, and he raised them sharply:
"Su Li, you're more cunning than anyone else, yet you always rush to play innocent. You're selfish and self-serving. Someone has to take the blame, right?"

Su Li immediately snorted coldly: "Gu Mufeng, say I'm selfish again?"

"So," the system said calmly and indifferently, "when things are already so bad, why would you still fall in love with the other person?"

A moment of silence fell over the room, and their previously excited breathing gradually returned to calm. Their peach blossom eyes and phoenix eyes seemed to look at each other with amusement, yet their ten fingers were intertwined, inseparable. They both secretly cared for each other in their eyes.

After a moment, Su Li gently touched the calluses on Gu Mufeng's fingertips and sighed softly:

"...Mu Fei was just doing his best to take all the trouble and responsibility upon himself. Once you understand that, it's impossible to criticize him. Besides," Su Li gently bit her lip, as if feeling sorry for him, "this person is the most ruthless to himself."

Before Su Li could speak, Gu Mufeng had already relaxed. He listened quietly, his gaze softening.

"Su Li is smart, full of vitality, and unique. Who wouldn't love her? Room, don't ask such an obvious question."

"So, in the end, is there anything you've always wanted to say but never actually said to the other person?"

Turning her head, as if by unspoken agreement, Su Li met Gu Mufeng's gaze perfectly. The brilliance in her eyes had long been entrusted to his heart, just as his abyss had long been open to her.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Su Li murmured, "I feel like we've already been honest with each other, so what else is there to say?"

Gu Mufeng tightened his grip on her hand and gently pulled her closer. He lowered his head, embraced her tightly, and silently poured all the words of his life into her lips.

The pure white room slowly disappeared in their passionate kiss. The world seemed to melt into golden light...

Sunlight bathed the entire white bed facing the sea. In the Hawaiian sea breeze, mingled with the faint scent of flowers, Su Li gradually awoke from his enveloping arms, while Gu Mufeng remained a light sleeper.

He tilted his head slightly, lifting it away from the pillow. His almond-shaped eyes were unusually relaxed in the sunlight. The healed scar shone brightly like a necklace, and together with his raised Adam's apple, it was softly embraced by her light chestnut hair.

Whether it's a green dress or a royal blue suit, with one pair of mules here and one there, their clothes from last night were piled up at the foot of the bed.

Su Li whispered in his ear, "Just now, Mu Mu, did you also dream about...?"

Gu Mufeng feigned confusion, gently rubbing his hair, a dreamy yet serene smile playing on his lips: "What were you dreaming about?"

Su Li feigned anger and playfully punched his shoulder: "Fine, Gu Mufeng, you dare call me selfish!"

Without a word, Gu Mufeng smiled indulgently and held her even tighter in his arms. Filled with her love, he passionately sealed Su Li's lips with countless kisses, both now and in the future.
