[Your acting is so exaggerated, Ah Zhi...]

[How come I remember when you participated in a variety show back then, you not only walked through the entire haunted house expressionlessly, but also had a gloomy face, deliberately scaring the next group to death?]

[Li Ruan! He's playing you! Beautiful wife, don't be fooled!]

Lu Liruan didn't see the real-time comments, but she felt Cheng Nianzhi leaning closer to her, with Xiao Yiyi on either side of her, sandwiching her in the middle.

Lu Liruan was about to say to Xiao Yiyi, "Why don't you go and be with Lu Yuan? The two of you together will generate more buzz."

A few nights ago, after dinner, Xiao Yiyi asked me for advice, saying that she didn't know why she couldn't relax in front of the camera, except when acting.

Sometimes when I read other people's comments, they also say they're being dramatic, that they can never really connect with other people...

You could tell that Xiao Yiyi was really troubled. She was sitting cross-legged, her two braids tied up with bubble hairbands swaying back and forth.

"Sister Li Ruan, how do you achieve that relaxed look?" Xiao Yiyi asked earnestly.

Lu Liruan: ...

How can I explain this to you? This isn't some kind of relaxed feeling; it's just a shamelessness as simple as breathing...

Mainly, it's too tiring to maintain that posture, because I completely lose my composure in less than three minutes.

With a light cough, Lu Liruan pinched Xiao Yiyi's plump, collagen-rich cheeks.

"Everyone has their own personality and unique characteristics, so why force yourself to become someone else?"

"You only see the bad comments people make about you, but the vast majority of the comments are about how much they love you. You can't just ignore what others like and fixate on the malice some people have for you."

Xiao Yiyi blinked her eyes.

"Sometimes there is malicious intent without any reason. They just want to hurt you for no reason. If you are really controlled by them, if you are really sad because of them, or if you doubt yourself, wouldn't that be playing right into their hands?"

Xiao Yiyi was persuaded by Lu Liruan and nodded thoughtfully: "Sister Liruan, you are right. I know I have shortcomings, and I will work harder for the people who like me, but I cannot lose confidence in myself, nor can I be afraid!"

Her soft, plump cheeks felt so good that Lu Liruan couldn't help but agree with her while repeatedly touching them like kneading dough.

When Xiao Yiyi left Lu Liruan's room, she was happy, her face was flushed, and she felt like she had been teased.

Lu Liruan sighed in the back, wondering when she had become a confidante.

The night before Xiao Yiyi arrived, Lu Yuan had been acting suspiciously, and his honey-colored skin appeared flushed even in the dim garden light.

He came to ask Lu Liruan for advice: what does Xiao Yiyi like, and how can he make Xiao Yiyi like him?

"Why are you asking me?" Lu Liruan was so full that she strolled around like an old lady.

"Because I feel... Yi Yi seems to like you the most, Sister Li Ruan! Sister Li Ruan, please teach me!"

"Don't talk like you're asking me to bestow some martial arts secret manual upon you, okay?" Lu Liruan was startled by his sudden loud voice and hiccuped.

Then there's Fu Tingshen.

These past few days, President Fu has been glancing over me with a mysterious and inscrutable look from time to time.

Lu Liruan: If you have something to say, just say it directly. It's rare that I feel you see through things so well...

Lin Qianyou, who was still around, would occasionally make sarcastic remarks to him. The only person he hadn't interacted with was Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng has been much quieter lately, spending less and less time at the villa. Lu Liruan heard that his work has been completely affected.

That's good, the scumbag will get his comeuppance.

Lu Liruan ignored him, but Lu Zheng's inner thoughts were still running wild. Before coming here, he never expected that Lu Liruan would become the dark horse of the show.

He must make good use of this escape room challenge to dispel his bad reputation.

Lu Zheng still remembered how Lu Liruan screamed in fear when they watched horror movies together.

As the director's laughter grew increasingly wild, Xiao Yiyi clung tightly to Lu Liruan's arm.

Cheng Nianzhi gently pulled the other side.

Xiao Yiyi pursed her lips: "Sister Li Ruan... I'm a little scared."

Before Lu Liruan could answer, Cheng Nianzhi's soft voice came from the other end: "Liruan, I'm a little scared too."

Lu Liruan: ...

Standing up and squeezing out from between them, Lu Liruan turned to them and Lu Yuan, whose face was already pale, and said, "Can't you be a little stronger? Can't you be a little bolder!"

"With a firm belief in materialism, what is there to be afraid of!"

[This is hilarious! The more you hear these simple words, the more powerful they become.]

My beautiful but clueless wife...

Cheng Nianzhi is undeniably handsome, but he's also incredibly cunning. I've never seen a male celebrity be so blatantly cunning, so naturally cunning...

What's the use of tea? He only got tea from us, hahahahahaha, Li Ruan: an impenetrable fortress.jpg

Lu Liruan indeed didn't notice anything, after all, Cheng Nianzhi had always treated Lu Liruan this way. Those involved are often blinded, while bystanders see things clearly.

Cheng Nianzhi remained out of the camera's view, his expression indifferent, his lowered eyes silent.

Oh, Li Ruan is so busy that she doesn't even have time to answer my calls at night. It's been like this for several days now.

His expression and his thoughts were completely unrelated.

With everyone harboring their own thoughts, the next day they were taken by car to the escape room venue.

Lu Liruan and Cheng Nianzhi were both wearing beige tracksuits, while Xiao Yiyi and Lu Yuan were wearing light blue ones. Lu Yuan also had a red headband tied around his head.

He's handsome. I wouldn't normally think much of it, but seeing him in this situation...

[Hahahaha! It's hard not to think of the word "warding off evil spirits."]

[Have you forgotten that Li Ruan told you to be a materialist yesterday?]

Shi Jingyun and Fu Tingshen wore gray, while Lu Zheng and Lin Qianyou wore light yellow.

DM begins to introduce the theme of this escape room.

The Secret Room is set in a school that has encountered an accident. Explore the whereabouts of missing students and uncover the secrets behind the school's transformation.

After the group entered the secret room wearing blindfolds, the door behind them slammed shut.

"Alright, everyone can take off their blindfolds now."

With the blindfolds removed, it was pitch black all around, and the group could only feel their way forward along the walls.

Although they cannot see it, from the audience's perspective, it is filmed with infrared, and everyone's actions are clearly visible.

Then everyone saw the tall and imposing Lu Yuan vanish in an instant.

Then came Xiao Yiyi's scream: "Ah—something is pulling my leg!"

Lu Liruan thought to herself, "This shouldn't be happening. Is it going to be high-energy right from the start?"

Lin Qianyou, who was behind her, was also caught up in the atmosphere and started screaming.

Just as the formation was starting to break down, everyone heard Cheng Nianzhi's voice, which was not loud but very calm and clear: "Lu Yuan, stop clinging to Li Ruan's legs."
