Lu Liruan was gently pushed by Cheng Nianzhi and continued walking towards the darkness, touching the wall as she went.

Lu Zheng tried to help Lu Liruan, but as soon as he moved, he felt a resistance pulling on his clothes and he couldn't move.

He turned around and saw Cheng Nianzhi casually letting go of his hand.

Sensing Lu Zheng's angry gaze in the darkness, Cheng Nianzhi slowly crossed her arms and leaned against the wall in a relaxed posture: "I'm sorry, I was a little scared just now... unlike you, who is so brave."

Lu Zheng's anger turned into suspicion.

These words don't sound like they came from Cheng Nianzhi's mouth at all. Ever since sensing Cheng Nianzhi's almost undisguised hostility towards him, Lu Zheng couldn't help but feel a bit intimidated by Cheng Nianzhi.

Why do I say "almost"? Because in front of Lu Liruan, he instantly restrained himself, displaying extraordinary control over his emotions!

Many times, Lu Zheng tried to get close to Lu Liruan, but Cheng Nianzhi blocked him without making a sound, while Lu Liruan remained unaware.

This is also why Lu Liruan felt that Lu Zheng was quite quiet. Of course, Cheng Nianzhi would not tell Lu Liruan what he had done.

Forced to be brave, Lu Zheng flicked his sleeves, turned around, and found that the truly brave Lu Liruan had already disappeared into the darkness.

Lu Zheng: ...What happened to being scared?

He chased after them cautiously, and halfway there, Lu Zheng's legs felt weak. The faint green light in the distance was not enough to see anything within half a meter of his surroundings.

Lu Zheng didn't even know where Lu Liruan was.

Just as he was about to stop and rest by the wall, he suddenly heard a hissing sound coming from very close ahead, close to the ground: "What's wrong, my brave friend?"

"Holy crap—" Lu Zheng couldn't hold back and almost blurted out a curse.

Lu Liruan patted her trouser legs and slowly stood up. She had been crouching in the darkness, waiting for Lu Zheng to approach.

Lu Liruan could tell from the moment she entered the secret room that Lu Zheng was putting on a brave face, after all, his acting skills were really not that great.

Whether someone is bold or timid is just a matter of personality. He himself is clearly like that, yet he deliberately led Cheng Nianzhi astray just now.

Lu Liruan was very unwilling to listen.

Look at me, what are you afraid of, my brave friend!

[This is hilarious! Such a sarcastic and vengeful couple! No wonder you two seem so well-matched; your vengeful nature is incredible, hahaha!]

My beautiful wife truly lives up to her word; she settles scores on the spot without hesitation, never delaying. What a wonderful state of mind!

[Are you really that intolerant of anyone saying anything bad about Ah Zhi? Do you really love him that much?]

Lu Liruan glanced at Lu Zheng, who was pretending to be calm, and said with little interest, "You go first, my brave friend."

Lu Zheng couldn't very well insist that Lu Liruan walk in front, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue forward.

Lu Liruan kept herself two or three steps behind him, making it impossible for Lu Zheng to even touch a corner of her clothes.

Lu Zheng coughed lightly, trying to lighten the mood by starting a conversation: "Li Ruan, how come you're so brave now? I remember when we watched horror movies together before, you were really scared."

Lu Liruan pouted. Every word you say seems to reveal your lack of intelligence...

“I was faking it!” Lu Liruan said matter-of-factly.

Lu Zheng was momentarily speechless, but then seized the opportunity to ask again.

"Haha, why? Is it because..." He wanted to say, "Do you want me to protect you on purpose?" Such ambiguous words.

Lu Liruan replied coolly, "I've already acted so scared, you can't be so clueless as to ask me to watch horror movies next time, can you?"

What impressive logical thinking!

[I'm dying of laughter. My wife must be suffering. Seriously, isn't Lu Zheng annoying? He's always saying these fake intimate things. Didn't Li Ruan tell you she didn't want to talk to you?]

[Who remembers that at the beginning of the show, Lu Zheng and his fans adopted an attitude of: "Don't try to get close to me. A proud and doting heartthrob like me won't allow you to get even a fraction of a step near me?"]

Hahahaha! I'm caught up in my tendency to embarrass others again.

Lu Zheng finally made it slowly to the third corner. Lu Liruan leaned against the wall and said, "Have a safe journey..."

It doesn't seem like a blessing anyway.

Lu Zheng could only take a deep breath and continue walking forward.

When he reached the fourth corner, the only few small, green, will-o'-the-wisps that were still lit on the ground suddenly went out.

The announcement came over the loudspeaker, and everyone could begin the four-corner game. During the game, no one was allowed to make a sound.

In the pitch-black darkness, you can only hear your own heartbeat; the tense atmosphere makes your hearing exceptionally sharp.

Lu Liruan listened carefully to the soft sounds of people moving around.

First corner... second corner... third corner.

Someone walked towards us.

Lu Liruan turned around and tentatively reached out her hand towards the third corner...

Finally, they reached the person who had come.

The moment they touched, Lu Liruan felt Cheng Nianzhi's slightly cool fingers brush against her fingertips and palm...

Until it was held in the crook of my arm, there was the smell of dust being stirred up in the air.

Lu Liruan subconsciously took a step forward, turned to the side, and pulled Cheng Nianzhi into her arms with her free arm.

Although Lu Liruan was more than half a head shorter than Cheng Nianzhi, the scene didn't look out of place at all in the infrared camera footage.

On the surface, it appears that Lu Liruan is holding Cheng Nianzhi, but upon closer inspection, the young man's slender and tall figure, compared to the girl, still has broad shoulders and long legs, making him quite noticeable.

As he was being embraced, he also enveloped Lu Liruan with his own body.

So much so that in the already black and white image, all that can be seen is the girl's slender, snow-white forearm wrapped around his back and her soft, curly hair falling on his shoulder.

The atmosphere was very emotional...

[Someone took the opportunity to hug me! Ahhhhh! Report it! Report it!]

【Li Ruan is worried you're scared, but you know exactly what you're thinking! Let go of my wife!】

[Amazing! Although Cheng Nian is a bit of a tea bitch, he and Li Ruan have such a great chemistry! I can imagine a million words about it...]

Lu Liruan pushed him against the wall and whispered, "Wait for me here, I'll come back to you later~"

"Okay, I'll do whatever Li Ruan says."

Lu Liruan wondered if it was because of the darkness, but Cheng Nianzhi's voice was exceptionally gentle, his tone like a soft sigh.

Lu Liruan took the key from his hand and prepared to pass it on to the fourth person, who would then search along the wall for a room that could be unlocked.

Lu Zheng took the key, trying to persuade Lu Liruan to go to the last corridor with him.

Lu Liruan put her finger to her lips: "Shh—we can't break the rules, what if we get cursed?"

"The most arduous task is entrusted to you, the bravest person..." Lu Liruan muttered in a very dramatic manner.

It seems like Lu Zheng's nickname will always be "the bravest person."

[Hilarious, he just can't stop being sarcastic.]
