With a charming giggle, Su Mengmeng didn't think Tong Muxuan was ruining his image, but rather found him witty and humorous.

Seeing Tong Muxuan and Su Mengmeng getting along better and better, Lu Zheng's thoughts began to wander again.

This is different from what's written in online novels and jokes online. Shouldn't there be all sorts of nitpicking and disdain?

The woman demands the man have a car, a house, and an annual salary of a million, while the man demands the woman be virtuous, beautiful, and young.

Then they part on bad terms, and both sides write about each other in jokes and post them online, adding a little fun for the online onlookers.

But now, it's a success in one go?

Boring…

There aren't any twists and turns, how is the author supposed to pad out the word count?

Tong Muxuan and Su Mengmeng finished their conversation, only then realizing they had somewhat neglected Lu Zheng and Luo Yun.

"Lu Zheng, do you have a girlfriend?"

"No!" Lu Zheng shook his head. "Seeing Lao Tong's performance, I realized I'm still far from being qualified to have a girlfriend."

"Hee hee!" Su Mengmeng couldn't help but giggle, then said with a smile, "Yunyun doesn't have a boyfriend either, do you want to give it a try?"

"Where is Lu Zheng from?" Luo Yun immediately cooperated, asking with a straight face.

"Qin Province."

Luo Yun pretended to sigh, "What a pity, my parents won't let me find someone from out of town."

Lu Zheng nodded understandingly, praising, "You're so clear-headed, if I were you, I wouldn't either!"

And then the matter passed.

Rejecting casually in a joke, Luo Yun's emotional intelligence was not low.

Everyone understood, so they didn't bring up the topic again.

Lu Zheng patted his forehead, wanting to act cool and get his face slapped, but they didn't even give him the chance.

I can't just throw a tantrum, can I? Saying something like 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully a young man for being poor,' and then say that I don't even care about your family's tens of millions of real estate.

Too low-class, do you think this is a novel!

"What's the plan for the afternoon?" Su Mengmeng asked with a smile, linking arms with Luo Yun. "We haven't arranged anything else for today."

The first step of the blind date was a success, so of course there were no other arrangements for the afternoon. If they hadn't hit it off, there would definitely be something they absolutely had to do in the afternoon.

"How about a murder mystery game?" Tong Muxuan immediately suggested. "There are several shops upstairs in the next building, and some of the scenarios have very good reviews."

Playing a murder mystery game was a very natural way to build relationships, so Tong Muxuan had obviously put some thought into it.

Murder mystery games had become popular in the last year or two, originating from Werewolf, but had already improved by several levels.

High-end murder mystery games had excellent scripts, matching environments, player costume changes, and experienced hosts to lead the rhythm, providing a truly immersive experience. Playing for four or five hours in one session was said to allow you to experience another life.

The last sentence was a bit of an exaggeration, but it also showed how good the experience was.

Hai City was a major city in Hua Country, so there were naturally many high-end murder mystery game shops. The building next door had more than a dozen shops, half of which had high ratings.

"Okay, okay, murder mystery game!" Su Mengmeng clapped her hands and laughed, obviously a player herself.

Today's main character was Su Mengmeng, so Luo Yun and Lu Zheng had no objections either.

After choosing a reasoning club online with good ratings and the option to join a group, the group went to the shop together.

"Hello, do you have a reservation? What scenario would you like to play?" the owner asked eagerly.

"We just joined a group online, the horror one!" Su Mengmeng's eyes lit up.

"Ah, The Cries of Apartment Five." The owner immediately realized.

"Yes, yes, have the others arrived?" Su Mengmeng nodded repeatedly.

"They're here, resting over there."

Following the owner's gesture, they looked over and saw two women sitting on the living room sofa, watching them.

"Wow, beauties!" Su Mengmeng whispered.

Both women had good figures. One had ordinary looks, but the other could indeed be called a beauty.

Over 1.7 meters tall, with shoulder-length medium hair and a healthy-looking tan complexion, her shorts weren't too short, revealing a pair of shapely, long legs.

"Hello!"

After exchanging greetings, they were led by the owner to the scenario space.

The Cries of Apartment Five was a modern script, so they didn't need to change clothes. They just listened to the host explain the background and then read their character scripts.

The plot was roughly about a woman who was murdered in this apartment years ago, and ever since, the apartment had been filled with cries at night.

Of course, there were no ghosts in the world, so someone must be pretending to be one.

The group were all neighbors in the apartment, had interacted with the girl, and each held secrets that the others didn't know.

Therefore, they suspected each other, accused each other, and believed each other to be the murderer.

The story unfolded from there...

It had to be said that the host set the pace well, and everyone got into their roles.

Lu Zheng's performance was average, while Su Mengmeng fully demonstrated what it meant to be enthusiastic despite lacking skill.

Luo Yun and Tong Muxuan were trying hard, but their potential was limited.

What was surprising was the two women. The eerie and terrifying scenes and plot didn't scare them at all. Instead, their calm reasoning almost made the host cry.

The clues haven't even been released yet, how did you deduce this far?...

Four hours later, the game ended.

"You two sisters are amazing! I feel like professional detectives are nothing more than this," Su Mengmeng said familiarly as she stepped forward to strike up a conversation.

"It's alright, the clues weren't hidden very well, so it wasn't hard to figure out."

"Amazing, want to add each other as friends? We can play together in the future."

Newbies loved to be carried by experts. Tong Muxuan had performed quite well, but he couldn't stand the comparison. Fortunately, these two were women.

"No, we're quite busy and don't play often," the healthy beauty refused.

However, they still left the building together and walked to the street corner.

Just as they were about to say goodbye, Lu Zheng saw the green light at the intersection turn yellow, and an old woman pushing a baby stroller across the street couldn't wait and started to cross.

On the other side, however, a Ferrari was accelerating, obviously trying to rush through before the yellow light turned red.

"Holy crap!"

Not only Lu Zheng saw it, but many others did as well.

Exclamations rose one after another.

A shadow flashed in the corner of Lu Zheng's eye. The healthy beauty from earlier had rushed forward.

However, Lu Zheng, strengthened by the Light of Luck, saw at a glance that her speed was not enough, and she might even be hit along with the old woman.

"Screech!"

The Ferrari was braking hard, but it was obviously too late.

"Whoosh!"

Lu Zheng stepped onto the road in one stride, instantly surpassing the healthy beauty and pushing her back.

At the same time, using the force, he almost turned into a blur, rushing to the old woman's side before the Ferrari, grabbing her and picking up the stroller, then rushing to the sidewalk on the other side.

The Ferrari flew past Lu Zheng, then stopped with a "screech" as it swerved to the side.
