After three seconds, Gu Suian said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, you'll need to stay in my room for a while."
These words were like a bolt from the blue, stunning everyone present and the viewers in the live stream.
[Has Gu Suian suddenly become less intelligent? This reason is too far-fetched!]
[Wen Feiran's eyes looked so hurt, and my heart ached too.]
[Nooooo! My favorite ship has ended so tragically!]
Wen Feiran's mind went blank. She didn't feel any negative emotions because of those words, but she felt an emptiness in her heart.
He comforted himself, thinking that as Gu Suian, it was inevitable to have other expectations of him, which was wrong in the first place, and there was no need to be sad about it.
He pursed his lips, turned to look at the others, and smiled, "It's alright, you guys go ahead, I'll wait for you to come back."
Zou Yuxing and Su Shangting were both very worried about him, but they couldn't say anything to comfort him. They turned to look at Gu Suian, angry but unable to speak out.
Song Lindi, on the other hand, looked like she was going crazy with joy, staring at Gu Suian with bright, enthusiastic eyes, almost unable to maintain her original persona.
Wen Feiran didn't look at Gu Suian again from beginning to end, nor did she want to stay any longer. She turned and went into his room, closing the door behind her to show that she was cooperating. But an iron door ruthlessly slammed down, as if it were Gu Suian's place to him.
Wen Feiran lowered her head, concealing the emotions in her eyes.
The others continued their journey to explore the castle.
In the past, Wen Feiran was not talkative and always walked in the corner, never trying to make his presence known. But now that he was gone, everyone suddenly felt an emptiness around them, a kind of indescribable sadness.
Su Shangting directly and unilaterally declared war on Gu Suian, humming all the way. Meng Zizheng, on the other hand, looked at Gu Suian with a puzzled expression and cautious eyes.
The atmosphere was agonizing. Zou Yuxing couldn't take it anymore and asked, "Brother Gu, why do you insist on locking Feiran up? Fei Feiran didn't do anything."
Gu Suian didn't explain until they were stopped by a door.
Song Lindi hadn't expected Gu Suian to trust him unconditionally, and he could barely contain his excitement. Now that Wen Feiran was gone, he immediately took his place, volunteering, "I'll find the clues."
An hour later, they hadn't moved an inch.
Gu Suian stood silently to the side, not even raising an eyebrow, clearly having already anticipated the situation.
[I've got it! If I were a detective, I'd lock Wen Feiran up too.]
[Haha, this slap in the face came just in time.]
[I suspected Wen Feiran before, but now I can't get anything done without him. What am I going to do? lol emoji]
[Feiran has been chased by the bell for so long, he needs a good rest. Gu Suian did this because she felt sorry for him.]
[Thanks, I've found something new again.]
The scene was too awkward, Zou Yuxing couldn't help but burst out laughing. Even Su Shangting's lips curled up in a wild smile. Song Lindi's face turned a deep purplish-red as he desperately tried to prove himself, but the more anxious he became, the more problems arose.
Although they didn't openly mock him, they seemed convinced that they wouldn't be able to get through this door today. Zou Yuxing leaned against the wall and dozed off, while Su Shangting yawned out of boredom.
Song Lindi: "..."
On the other side, Wen Feiran had already composed herself.
So what if he's locked up? The more he's suspected, the more he'll prove himself. If he opens that iron door, even a detective won't be able to doubt him anymore!
Wen Feiran circled the doorway but received no prompt to unlock it. After a moment's thought, she went back inside.
Gu Suian is a detective from the East; there is a Go set on the table.
Wen Feiran glanced at the board and realized that Black was at a disadvantage, almost in a hopeless situation.
He immediately understood, realizing that this was the key to opening the door.
Wen Feiran stood in front of the chessboard, his brows slightly furrowed. An indescribable sense of familiarity washed over him, so familiar that he knew the only way out without even thinking.
Wen Feiran picked up a black piece and placed it in a corner of the board, looking expectantly at the heavy iron gate, but he did not get the result he wanted.
Wen Feiran did not give up and went forward to check carefully, but the iron gate remained unmoved.
What's going on?!
Viewers in the live stream were charmed by his cuteness.
[Haha, do you even know what being locked up means? How could they possibly leave a trap inside the room to let you out?]
Is it possible that this is just a prop?
[It's okay, try a different spot, maybe that will work, lol emoji]
This game is very famous; our teacher explained it to us before, but unfortunately, there's no complete game record.
[Wen Feiran actually knows Go? Does anyone know how to explain it?]
[That was a brilliant move! The deadlock was solved just like that.]
[I couldn't empathize with her before, but now that I'm in her area of expertise, I finally understand... Wen Feiran is truly ruthless; she leaves us no way out!]
Wen Feiran didn't think much of it and stubbornly circled back, but his movements were a bit too exaggerated, and his leg accidentally bumped into the chessboard, causing the chess pieces to fall with a clatter.
A crisp sound rang out, Wen Feiran, like a child who had done something wrong, looked around guiltily, trying to make amends before anyone noticed.
He squatted down, picked up the black and white pieces respectively, and sat down opposite the chessboard.
He held white in one hand and black in the other, and instead of relying on memory to haphazardly reconstruct the chessboard, he played as if he were playing against an invisible person, making every move flawlessly.
That eerie sense of familiarity returned, as if he had personally experienced it.
A white mist shrouded his mind; every time he tried to see clearly, he felt only a blur. But when he placed the last piece, the crisp sound lingered in his ears, and a certain string in his heart was suddenly plucked.
