The innermost room was so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face; you couldn't see anything through the iron gate.
Looking at the tightly closed door, Meng Jingxiu said sarcastically, "Feiran, aren't you the best at cracking combination locks? But this door isn't locked at all. Maybe we can't open it. What are we going to do?"
There are several types of combination locks, but there is a situation where no key is needed, which usually occurs in a locked room.
Wen Feiran didn't answer. He looked around the room, touching and examining the items under the questioning gazes of the two men. He was just trying his luck when he touched the crystal ball on the table. He felt a slight jolt, and on a whim, he twisted it hard backward. The rusty iron door scraped against the ground, and the door opened.
Meng Jingxiu's words, laced with sarcasm, now felt like a slap in the face, leaving him looking quite displeased.
Song Lindi glanced back at him, biting her lower lip, and looked pitiful.
As if reminded, Meng Jingxiu staggered back a few steps and said pitifully, "I've been terrified of the dark since I was little. There are no candles here, and I'm afraid to go in alone."
Song Lindi, usually the most vulnerable and pitiful one, pretended to be strong this time. He took a deep breath and said, "I'm also afraid of the dark, but if the three of us go in together and none of us come out, the other group won't be able to rescue us in time. I'm the most useless one. Let me go. Even if I'm not there, you guys will definitely be able to complete the mission."
Wen Feiran didn't react immediately, but seeing that the two were scared, she said, "Let's take turns. Each of us will explore inside for one minute, then we'll switch places with the other."
Meng Jingxiu: "..."
Song Lindi: "..."
Unexpectedly, after being baptized by Guan Yunning's tea ceremony, Wen Feiran developed a certain resistance, which led him to think of a fair solution.
Meng Jingxiu nodded. "Alright then, who wants to go first?"
Wen Feiran, as the one who proposed it, took the lead. "I'll go first, you guys wait a minute and call me."
Before entering the room, he gave a final instruction, "You must not touch anything else."
Song Lindi and Meng Jingxiu both nodded, reassuring him.
Wen Feiran had just stepped into the room, her back foot not even touching the ground, when she heard a loud rumble behind her as the iron door slammed shut.
"..."
Meng Jingxiu walked over, his face full of self-reproach. "I don't know what happened either. I didn't touch the crystal ball. How could the door have closed!"
Wen Feiran was at her wit's end. "The crystal ball isn't necessarily the only switch. Didn't I tell you not to touch anything?"
Song Lindi shrugged, putting on an innocent expression. "Ah, I thought you were just talking about the crystal ball. I'm sorry."
Meng Jingxiu said apologetically, "We're going to find Su Shangting and the others to come rescue you. Please wait a moment, we'll be right back."
Wen Feiran knew that the two had only meant it unintentionally, so he could only nod.
After they left, the room became even quieter. Wen Feiran didn't know how many minutes had passed, and he was in great agony. He didn't want to stand there any longer, so he turned to look at the dark room and tentatively took a few steps inside.
His eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, and he vaguely saw a strangely shaped thing in the middle of the room, about chest height, and it seemed to have six legs.
!!!
Wen Feiran's pupils constricted, and he instinctively tried to flee, but the unidentified object spoke.
"Don't be afraid, it's me."
The sound froze Wen Feiran in place. He turned around abruptly, his fear vanishing, replaced by surprise. "Teacher Gu, is that you?"
"It's me."
Wen Feiran didn't care about anything else and walked quickly forward, but the further he went in, the darker it became, and he could still only see blurry shapes.
"The flashlight is in my shirt pocket," Gu Suian said succinctly.
Wen Feiran tentatively reached out, inching closer until his fingers finally touched the outer contour.
Slightly cool and with a certain firmness, Wen Feiran pinched it a couple of times before realizing it was Gu Suian's earlobe.
He recoiled as if electrocuted, instinctively saying, "Sorry."
"It's alright." The room was unusually quiet, Gu Suian's soft chuckle echoed in his ears.
It was so good that if he were a sucker for good voices, he would kneel down before Gu Suian on the spot.
That's so unfair!!
Wen Feiran unconsciously rubbed her fingers, her face tense, and tried her best to remain calm as she said, "Is this the place?"
"A little lower."
What happened to me?
"Don't worry about it, you don't need to be so gentle."
"Really? You must tell me if it hurts."
"Knew."
Wen Feiran and Gu Suian couldn't see each other, but the live stream used red light, so although their expressions were blurry, their movements were very clear. It was as if a swarm of screaming chickens had flooded into the live stream room.
[Ugh, this is too erotic, I can't take it!]
[Holy crap, what kind of idol drama is this? I'm laughing so hard my face is raw!]
[Oh my god, you dare to touch it, but we don't even dare to look! Little face turned yellow. jpg]
[Even without seeing the image, the sound is incredibly suggestive; a character running around in terror. jpg]
[I'm even considering blurring out the images, is this even allowed to be streamed live?]
[Wow, they're both so serious, yet they have such a strong chemistry. Could this be the legendary chosen couple?]
[I'm totally shipping them! I suggest they fight in bed, we love to see that. nosebleed (image).]
Chapter 34 A perfectly healthy person has mysteriously disappeared!...
Wen Feiran finally touched the hard object in Gu Suian's pocket. He immediately felt that the shape was very strange, and after reaching inside, he found that it was an ultra-miniature pocket flashlight.
Wen Feiran held it in one hand, her expression turning strange. "This size... it's not going to be a breeding stock for teasing cats, is it?"
