This is the entertainment industry! No tantrums or shouting allowed!

If Joshua had been the one by Wen Yao's side since childhood...

And he was the new older brother who fell from the sky.

Will Wen Yao accept him so quickly?

Gu Yan, who had never known how to spell the word "inferiority complex," suddenly felt emo.

【Huh? Why did the inkstone suddenly break?】

[Indeed, a worn-out look is the best cosmetic procedure for men; Yanzi instantly became handsome.]

[How strange, how strange, how truly strange! Didn't Yanzi just shout that kings should not meet and should avoid each other's sharp edges?]

[It's not just romantic relationships that can lead to conflict; family relationships can too. Yanzi probably thinks Meibao doesn't need him. /doge]

...

Available in the next second.

Wen Yao seemed to sense something, her doe-like eyes landing on Gu Yan—

The pitiful little girl in front of Joshua instantly straightened her back and even spoke with a bit more confidence:

"Gu Yan, look how dirty your clothes are. Did you turn into a cocoon again from being scared?"

Gu Yan, who was terrified when chased by ghostly NPCs, was fearless and as cheeky as ever in front of Wen Yao:

"This dust is part of my outfit, a vintage, distressed, beggar style, you know?"

Wen Yao rolled her eyes cutely.

Gu Yan stepped forward: "And what about you? Your eyes are so red, did you cry from fright?"

It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it; the moment he did, the entire live stream room burst into laughter.

[God knows how hilarious it was when Mei Bao was hiding under the coffee table, and the ghostly NPC crawled out from the underground mechanism!]

[Whose carefully chosen hiding spot turned into a monster spawn point? Oh, it turns out to be our unlucky little sister!]

[This is the first time I've ever seen a girl scream like that, and the NPC even put his face right in front of her—don't think I don't know he wanted her to reward him!]

……

"Scared? I don't even know how to spell the word 'scared'," Wen Yao retorted stubbornly. "I'm just so envious of the intelligence of the guests on 'The Great Detective' that I'm jealous."

One would rather say they look like a beggar, and the other would rather admit they have conjunctivitis than admit they're afraid...

That's why they're siblings.

The guests saw through it but didn't expose it, suppressing their laughter as they watched the brother and sister flatter each other.

There were footsteps at the door.

Wen Yao shrank back like a frightened bird.

Josius stretched out his arms, expecting her to throw herself into his embrace.

Unexpectedly, Wen Yao's first reaction was to grab Gu Yan's arm.

But the siblings were of one mind, and Gu Yan also grabbed her arm.

They both tried to hide behind each other, circling each other several times, but neither succeeded.

"What are you two doing?" the Taoist priest's voice came from behind. "Practicing Tai Chi here?"

Wen Yao: "...Haha, we're just sparring for fun."

Gu Yan: "...Haha, we're just trying to improve our health."

The two started gesturing, one standing on one leg like a golden rooster, the other spreading his wings like a white crane.

When people are embarrassed, they will indeed pretend to be busy.

I've figured it out: Yao Mei and Yan Zi are pretty brave, except for ghosts!

Don't you two have any sense of each other's courage? Why are you hiding behind each other? You might as well hide together in Joshua's arms!

[Hmm, here's a little psychology tidbit: when people are in danger, they subconsciously gravitate towards the people they trust most~ I felt a sweet touch of family affection today!]

...

The Taoist priest said, "There's a clue under the willow tree at the village entrance. Which of you couples would like to go and investigate?"

Wen Yao eagerly raised her hand.

Jing Ce lowered his voice: "Are you sure?"

Are you questioning my courage?

"Yao is the bravest girl in the world." Jing Ce switched seamlessly from a stoic, straight man to a sweet-talker. "It's me who's a coward, so I suggest we let the other groups handle this round of single-line tasks..."

"What are you afraid of? I'll protect you!"

"..."

Seeing Wen Yao's insistence, Jing Ce silently swallowed back his words of persuasion.

It's alright, he'll just protect her a little more.

The two set off to look for clues.

The other groups were assigned by the Taoist priest to play scary mini-games.

...

Jing Ce didn't talk much, but in order to ease Wen Yao's mood, he racked his brains to tell jokes.

"Little Elephant found a job, and he's always angry after get off work. Do you know why?"

"Ok?"

"Because it works at the weather bureau."

"..." Wen Yao blinked. "How do your friends react when you tell jokes?"

Jing Ce hesitated for a moment: "You'll laugh, right?"

He wasn't quite sure either, because apart from Wen Yao, he had never told jokes to anyone else.

"Are you laughing at the joke or at yourself?"

"..."

[Hahaha, Jing Shen is flirting with a blind man!]

How could a girl be so clueless about romance?

[Uncle Fu: I was worried that Yao Yao would be snatched away by other men, but now I can rest assured /heart emoji]

My sister is the type who, if a handsome guy winks at her, she'll wonder if there's something wrong with his eyes.

...

As they spoke, the two arrived at the willow tree and walked around it.

"There seems to be something in the tree hole," Jing Ce said.

Wen Yao said with a righteous expression, "Aren't you a coward? Hiding behind me!"

She reached out her hand toward the tree hole, her fingertips trembling slightly, but she was determined to keep her promise!

A woman as fierce as a hawk will never admit defeat!

Jing Ce's heart was racing; it was the first time he had ever been protected by a girl...

This feeling is amazing.

"Although I'm timid, I want to challenge myself." A hint of tenderness appeared in Jing Ce's eyes behind his glasses. "Yao-mei, could you give me this precious opportunity?"

Wen Yao was stunned for a moment: "Really?"

"Ah."

Wen Yao was filled with respect and made way for him.

Jing Ce reached into the tree hole, but his wrist was suddenly grabbed, the touch icy cold!

There are powerful people behind the scenes!

Jing Ce had anticipated this and reacted indifferently.

Wen Yao, who was standing next to her, was startled and took two steps back, swallowing hard.

"Are you alright? You weren't scared out of your wits, were you?"

Jing Ce belatedly realized: "Ah~ Help me..."

This poor acting has drawn countless criticisms from viewers.

[You're just pretending, kid!]

[Kage no Kyouya didn't use all his clever schemes on deduction this time; he used them all on his little sister.]

[Sure enough, when you meet a girl you like, you can instantly master sweet talk and manipulative tactics without any instruction...]

...

Seeing this, Wen Yao became anxious and stepped forward to grab Jing Ce's arm: "I'll lend you a hand!"

The NPC behind the mechanism was almost dragged out with him!

NPC: ? ? ?

Where did this female guest come from? How come she's so arrogant!

Other NPCs nearby rushed to help, and several of them held Jing Ce's hand tightly.

The two sides pulled for a long time, but reached a stalemate.

Jing Ce: "Uh, how about we let them go through the procedures? In my experience, at most they'll just release some spiders or something to scare people."

"No way! I promised to protect you!" Wen Yao exclaimed, "I don't believe it!"

She braced one foot against the tree and pulled Jing Ce's arm back with all her might—

There was a bang.

A gasp came from the tree hole. First, an NPC was pulled out, then a radish was pulled out along with mud, and a whole bunch of people fell out one after another!
