0713: You who shine in the parallel world

On July 24, the seven people who were re-employed arrived at the hotel arranged by the Escape Room program team.

This time, Su Xing was the first to arrive. When he arrived at the hotel and was told that no one else had come except him, he turned around, raised his phone, squinted and looked utterly hopeless as he took a selfie with the hotel lobby as the background, and posted it to the re-employment group.

"What's wrong with you old guys? I thought I was late enough, but it turns out I'm the first one here! @Everyone"

Wang Yuexin replied instantly: "It's rare for President Su to wait for us, what, you're not happy about it?"

"How could I not be happy, Mr. Wang? These days, you're all either disheveled, writing OSTs, or going to music festivals and doing costumes. You're all very busy. I'm the only one with some free time who can come to the hotel in advance to check out the hotel environment and see if the beds are comfortable."

Su Xing's words still carried his usual Su-style teasing, but after Zhang Yuan saw a certain keyword in the sentence, he couldn't help but burst into laughter and flooded the screen with comments.

"Hahaha, I finally managed to forget that scene, why did you bring it up!"

"Why can't we mention it? The netizens have finally discovered the flamboyant nature of our virtuous and talented Xiao Liang, so we have to talk about this historic moment properly." Su Xing sent a meme of someone eating melon seeds.

"You really, eh, I really, eh, really, oh my!" After a series of hesitant interjections, Land Rover finally found the right words, "To be honest, looking at those proper photos, Liang Ge with his white hair is handsome, but watching the video always feels like watching a familiar person posing awkwardly!"

"Tiger, you understand me!" Zhang Yuan held Land Rover's hands through the phone's data. "It's so strange, really so strange. I couldn't help but take another look, and it got even stranger. I can't get over this old habit of feeling embarrassed for others."

"I dare not open my eyes, I hope it's just my imagination.jpg." Wang Yuexin posted her own meme, which was the source of her reaction when she and her brothers who participated in the Pi Ge event saw this transformation video. What's worse, the video was posted on Douyin by Wang Zhengliang himself.

Yu Yu opened Green Bubble and saw this picture. Without thinking, he opened the emoji collection, clicked on the first emoji, and sent it: "Chen Chusheng frowning and grinning, doing this disgusting thing again.jpg".

Then he scrolled up and found out what the guys were talking about.

Wang Zhengliang, who has recently made great strides in fitness, was very generous at the music festival, often showing off his arm muscles in stylish sleeveless vests.

The audience at the music festival was very enthusiastic. As soon as someone started shouting "Take it off!", the whole venue would be filled with shouts of "Take it off!" within seconds. And it didn't discriminate against anyone; as soon as the talking segment started, someone would definitely shout it.

While Wang Zhengliang verbally declined, he was quite meticulous in taking off his coat, secretly pleased with himself.

That's not all. After stepping off the stage, he posted a video of himself in a white hair and vest, which suddenly went viral. As a result, the production team of the show "The Brothers of the North" even managed to gain some attention. At the request of many netizens, during the break between the recordings of "The Brothers of the North", the five members of "The Brothers of the North" recorded a reaction video.

Immediately, Chen Chusheng's disgust, Zhang Yuan's awkwardness and headache yet irresistible desire to watch, Wang Yuexin's closed eyes and inability to watch, Yu Haoming and Yu Yu's excitement, and Yu Yu's regret at the end of the video being too short and ending in a flash—all sorts of memes spread rapidly.

Zhang Yuan: "@ccs Brother Sheng, someone's misusing your memes again!"

Land Rover: "Zhang Yuan closed his eyes, lowered his head, and rubbed the bridge of his nose.gif".

Zhang Yuan: "? Wait, why do you have GIFs too?"

Land Rover chuckled: "It's all thanks to the amazing skills of our netizens. As soon as your reaction videos were released, the comment section was flooded with memes, hahaha. Yu Yuhaoming's eyes lit up while copying and pasting.jpg."

"Young Master Yu, you and Haoming seem a bit off. Compared to the three people around you, you two are so excited, it's like you can't wait for Brother Liang to step down so you can go on your own," Su Xing chirped.

"Then take a look?" Yu Yu looked at the staff member next to her with great regret and said, "Is it really gone?" Land Rover released another of its treasured items.

"Zici Xiaoyu is filming a cross-dressing video!" Wang Yuexin took the opportunity to subtly promote her own message.

"Zici Xiaoyu filmed a transformation video!" Zhang Yuan followed suit, also wanting to see the excitement.

"I really want to see Xiaoyu film a transformation video!" Land Rover really wants to see it; Teacher Sai is so good at filming, it must be really good.

"Zici Xiaoyu filmed a transformation video!" Su Xing copied and pasted, enjoying the spectacle.

Wang Zhengliang: "Support Xiaoyu's costume change video!"

"! The original creator of our group has finally appeared!" Land Rover exclaimed in surprise.

Su Xing wasn't surprised at all: "Brother Liang, you're not spying on me again, are you?"

"Listening to us praising his transformation video, he's probably secretly gloating, bro? [Manual sarcasm emoji] Wang Zhengliang secretly gloating and trying to suppress his laughter emoji." Yu Yu started his cheeky and itchy-skinned mode again.

Wang Zhengliang almost burst out laughing in the car: "What nonsense are you talking about, Xiaoyu? Was that praising me? That was clearly a meme war and sharing emojis. If you like my cross-dressing so much, I'll give you some technical guidance when I get there tonight."

Chen Chusheng: "Brother Liang, are you going to the fish room tonight to watch him change clothes?"

"..." X6.

"?" X6.

"!" X6.

"Hahahaha, Chusheng, you're amazing! You're absolutely amazing! Do you want to listen to what you're saying? Hahahaha!" Su Xing was laughing so hard she couldn't live anymore. "Oh no, I'm making all the passersby in the lobby think I've gone crazy. I have to hold it in until I get to my room."

"Chen Chusheng, you better explain yourself!" Zhang Yuan snapped.

"No, hahaha," Land Rover almost burst out laughing too, "Brother Liang, you need to explain this to Brother Sheng, is this a moral decline or a distortion of human nature?"

Wang Zhengliang kindly explained, "I was just saying, Brother Sheng. I would like to see our Xiaoyu dress up, but if we actually go tonight, we'll probably run into Uncle Hat."

Wang Yuexin assumed Wang Zhengliang meant he was going to beat up the brat that night, and that "Uncle Hat" was just an exaggerated joke implying that a bad beating might get the neighbors to call the police. So he grinned and said, "Brother Liang, Xiaoyu doesn't deserve to die!"

"No, it's because watching Xiaoyu change clothes is like going undercover (in plainclothes)," Wang Zhengliang said.

……

This is so sudden, bro. At the very least, people shouldn't do this.

Feeling that there was more dirt on her phone, Yu Yu closed her eyes.

"Then you might as well say that fish wear cotton and linen clothes and their teeth will easily turn black (ma yi ya hei)." Chen Chusheng said.

Wang Yuexin had already started calling for an ambulance, and Zhang Yuan was even more direct. He threw out an emoji with an arrow pointing to the delete/block interface, saying, "Don't force me to delete you.jpg".

Su Xing was quite prescient and slipped away in advance, or rather, he actually saw it but tried to pretend he didn't, just like Yu Yu.

Adhering to the principle of "if you can't beat them, join them," Yu Yu said, "How about we find a restaurant to eat black duck tonight? My clothes today are made of cotton and linen."

"...I want to eat it, but I can't bring myself to do it, but I still want to eat it."

The tired jokes had already ruined Land Rover's appetite, but if he were really asked to eat something, he could still manage, perhaps with some gravy mixed with fragrant white rice or noodles, slurping it down: "You guys wait, I'll find some good food near the hotel right away!"

In the evening, after everyone had arrived, Land Rover found a highly-rated restaurant nearby on Dianping (a Chinese review platform), and the seven of them had a small get-together.

Unfortunately, this store doesn't have black duck.

Su Xing: Don't let me see any black duck or black teeth anytime soon!

When talking about her recent trip to the "Broken Hair" event, Wang Yuexin said with great enthusiasm that the intensity of the event was indeed quite high, but she was really happy to be able to make music and perform on stage every day and gained a lot.

They are all genuinely talented, their abilities speak for themselves. As long as the production team doesn't cause any trouble, all five of them can make it to the final.

"Of course! You five, three champions, one Best Actor, one Heavenly King, making it a piece of cake for you to conquer all obstacles." Su Xing never doubted his brothers' abilities. "You guys are going to be the obstacles in the 'Conquer All Obstacles' game. I'm telling you right now, the final annual champion will definitely be Chu Sheng."

They didn't mention Yu Yu because they all knew that Yu Yu's overly low-key and lazy nature meant he wouldn't fight for anything for himself, since he had already won all the big prizes he deserved.

But if it's about helping his brothers secure a key position, he'll definitely be the first to step forward.

"No, no, no, there are still many excellent musicians." Chen Chusheng waved his hand with his usual humility.

“Becoming a thorn is not good, otherwise you’ll just get cut down by others,” Zhang Yuan muttered.

Land Rover patted him on the shoulder: "Thorns have thorns, and if someone tries to cut you, they might end up with thorns instead. What's that called? It's called the mutual effect of forces. Like now, when I pat you, ouch, my hand hurts too?"

Zhang Yuan laughed and slapped Land Rover on the back.

Land Rover asked cheerfully, "Does it hurt?"

Zhang Yuan nodded happily: "It hurts."

The others looked at the two of them with smiles on their faces.

Perhaps this is the meaning of friendship.

This escape room theme seems to be related to friends. The production team has already sent them the background information of the seven people, but Yu Yu hasn't opened it yet. He plans to go back tonight and take a last-minute look. This identity setting is only one aspect. Who knows what changes will occur in the end of the game? After all, these guys are good at finding alternative ways to win.

Last year's terrifying case revealed Su Xing's unusual identity. Wang Yue thought it was one thing to cause trouble, but in the end, the one who was the most cunning and scheming was actually Yu Yu. So this time, Zhang Yuan made it clear that he would keep a close eye on Yu Yu.

It's said that this escape room only has a slightly scary element, and it's not even on the same level as last year's nursing home escape room. The focus is on solving the mystery, and the lights in the escape room are basically always on.

Zhang Yuan and Lu Hu, who completely believed the show's explanation, were both in a good mood. After all, they both believed in the power of light; as long as there was light, they were kings! (Self-proclaimed)

Yu Yu looked at the identity information sent by the production team. The role information they provided had little to do with him.

Mr. Yu, a father of a fifth-grade child, met Weiwei in a parents' group. Weiwei is also a father, and he has become the president of the parents' committee because of his harmonious family and his effective methods of educating his children. They met this time to discuss issues related to children's education and family relationships.

Sure, no one knows better than the children of the old money family how to handle family relationships.
