After Gu Li got up, his entire person was still dumbfounded. His mind seemed to be secreting a hormone that made him particularly happy.

While Jiang Xun received the luck, she heard the system prompt her: "The favorability value has exceeded 65 points, it has directly risen by more than twenty points. Wow, you're super awesome!"

Jiang Xun felt the long-lost heat flow into her body. Since Gu Li's luck was pure and strong, her body changed very slightly as she absorbed it.

The atmosphere between the two became ambiguous. Jiang Xun lowered her head and didn't speak so that Gu Li couldn't see her face. He didn't know what expression she had on now, nor did he know her thoughts, making him a little flustered.

What Jiang Xun saw that scared them just now was an extremely large humanoid mannequin with blood on its face, making it very realistic and indeed a little scary.

This thing also gave her a divine assist. In her heart, Jiang Xun gave the design of this escape room a thumbs up.

Gu Li struggled for a long time before eventually asking, "Are you angry?"

Jiang Xun thought it was funny. The silly boy was really innocent. She shook her head, "No."

Gu Li seemed to be truly afraid of her being unhappy because she was kissed by him, but he didn't know what to say to make her feel better. After thinking about it, he said, "I… … I haven't kissed anyone before."

Jiang Xun was really defeated by his emotional intelligence. She looked up at Gu Li, "Me too."

Gu Li was a little surprised. There was even a little sweet joy in his heart. However, he didn't understand what this feeling meant. He hesitated and asked, "Then… … then can I vote for you tonight?"

Jiang Xun pretended not to understand, "What vote?"

Gu Li's eyes didn't know where to look. His throat became dry as he mumbled slowly, "The heartbeat vote."

Jiang Xun seemed surprised. She opened her mouth for a while before saying, "Eh."

"Then don't be unhappy."

Jiang Xun shyly blushed, "I'm not."

With the two having reached a tacit understanding, Gu Li was enthusiastic. He covered his mouth and glanced away embarrassedly.

"Let's continue." Jiang Xun said after a bit.

"Okay."

For the last level, it took ten minutes for the two of them to find the exit. It was a tunnel-like exit that needed them to crawl into the tunnel together and climb out.

Gu Li went in first and Jiang Xun followed him. When Gu Li went down safely and Jiang Xun climbed to the front, the stone slab under her suddenly dropped, her whole person fell forward. If Gu Li hadn't caught her, she would have fallen to the ground.

As Gu Li hugged Jiang Xun in his arms, he didn't know what to do. For his life, he had never experienced such a matter. The numerous close contacts made his cerebral cortex secrete so much love hormone that the moment he sees Jiang Xun, he would think of the kiss just now.

When they came out of the escape room to pay, the boss looked at them with an ambiguous smile. He obviously saw them in the surveillance video.

Jiang Xun: "Let's head out."

Gu Li nodded, "Eh."

Jiang Xun: "Since they haven't found us yet, we should probably head to the previous place and wait for them."

Gu Li continued to nod, still not daring to look directly at Jiang Xun.

Jiang Xun said, "After we return, I'll tell them that we were separated from the staff and got lost. Because we were too hungry, we found a place to eat and then you accompanied me to buy some things. You don't need to say anything. When they ask you, just say I'm right, understand?"

Gu Li felt Jiang Xun might be afraid that the staff would come to check the Escape Room when they learned they played it. When the time comes, they'll know what happened to them when they watched the surveillance, so she wanted to hide it.

Thinking about it, he agreed.

When the two returned to Pedestrian Street, they saw the staff of the program group waiting there anxiously. Seeing them, the staff almost cried out of joy.

"You guys are finally back, the producer is about to explode. Where have you been? We couldn't find you guys anywhere we looked."

Jiang Xun explained with the prepared remarks. Although the staff was skeptical, they had no choice but to immediately call the director to say that they had found them and they could come here to meet up.

As it was already late, the other three groups were already on their way back. Jiang Xun and Gu Li returned to the villa together after waiting for the others.

On the way, the director kept asking Jiang Xun and Gu Li how they got lost. It was obvious that Jiang Xun's words to the staff didn't convince her. When the director called Qi Yi, she seemed to be ready to face death. Seeing her being scolded that she didn't even dare to breathe heavily, Jiang Xun couldn't help feeling that she would be in serious trouble when she returned either.

But wasn't this also one of her goals, wasn't it?

Of course she had the confidence to dare to do so.

Right now, Jiang Xun couldn't be in a better mood. Today, she played all she wanted, ate all she could eat, bought all the things she wanted and even hooked up with Gu Li. Today could be considered a full haul. It simply couldn't be better, so she leaned against the window and satisfactorily closed her eyes for a nap. There were still two men waiting for her when she went back.

In the master control room of the villa, everyone held their breath, not daring to speak, for fear of angering Qi Yi. Qi Yi stared at Jiang Xun who was sleeping on the screen. His expression was very ugly. What getting separated, who's she trying to fool?

Qi Yi couldn't tolerate anything going wrong with his program. Who knew there would be such a serious accident like a guest escaping the camera this afternoon? They almost didn't film anything for Jiang Xun and Gu Li's date. How can he continue the show?

Because of the anger, Qi Yi got a stomachache. From noon to now, he hasn't eaten anything. When he endured the pain and was about to take some medicine, he thought of the mess last night and became even angrier.

The bottle of pain killer tablets was still in his pocket. He still hadn't asked Jiang for trouble, yet she caused another mess today.

Qi Yi swallowed a few pills. His face was pale, there was no trace of blood on his handsome face and his eyes were gravely deep. He placed the cup heavily on the table. Since the glass still had half of the water left inside, it splashed out, getting the back of his hand wet. Yet he didn't react.

The staff all lowered their heads, no one dared to look at him for fear of being eyed by him. Everyone knew that Qi Yi at this time was a nightmare-like existence.

Everyone was praying for Jiang Xun and Gu Li. This afternoon's incident, excluding the other guests, they all knew about it. When the on-site director called and reported that Jiang Xun and Gu Li had been lost, Qi Yi was literally furious. The look in his eyes at the time was simply chilling.

Gu Li should be fine though. They heard that he and Qi Yi had an uncle and nephew relationship. For the sake of Gu Li's parents, he probably won't do much with him. However, Jiang Xun was different. Qi Yi never took pity on the other party just because she was a female.

"President Qi, Jiang Xun and Gu Li are almost at the villa's door." Someone walked in and announced.

The staff members: Poor Jiang Xun, we're all praying for you.

...

Jiang Xun and Gu Li arrived just in time for dinner when they came back. Today's dinner was made by the chef, the guests didn't need to do anything.

When Jiang Xun and Gu Li entered, everyone else was seated.

"You guys are back?" After seeing them, Bai Ran greeted them with a smile.

When Jiang Xun returned here, she naturally recovered her aloof appearance again. She nodded faintly, "Eh, we're back. Let me put my things away first."

"Why did you buy so many things? You actually did go shopping." Lu Jia looked at the shopping bags in her hand with strange eyes.

Jiang Xun went upstairs with an "eh".

Lu Jia tightened her lips, whispering in a low voice, "Geez."

Bai Ran said, "She's probably too tired."

"Why would she be tired from shopping an entire afternoon? If anyone would be tired, it would be Gu Li, he had to accompany her." As Lu Jia's voice fell, everyone turned to look at Gu Li.

Zhao Wen Yin asked, "Gu Li, did you really go shopping with her all afternoon without doing anything else?"

Gu Li thought of Jiang Xun's warning and nodded.

Zhao Wen Yin let out a sigh of relief. This Jiang Xun was also stupid. She went shopping by herself, wasting a good date opportunity. But that's okay for her. Jiang Xun should know her place. With one less person competing for Gu Li with her, she can also relax a little.

"Then you're probably exhausted. Quickly come sit down and have dinner." Zhao Wen Yin is only so considerate to Gu Li.

Seeing Zhao Wen Yin's attitude towards Gu Li, Yan Xiao recalled that she wasn't like this when she went out with him during the day and frowned. He snorted, a little dissatisfied.

Gu Li nodded, but his gaze secretly glanced in the direction Jiang Xun was walking in.

Bai Ran keenly caught Gu Li's gaze and an idea came to mind, "Gu Li, where did you guys go shopping today?"

Gu Li didn't look at her nor did he raise his head to say, "I'm not sure."

Zhao Wen Yin furrowed her brows as she glanced at Bai Ran. Right now, she was paranoid. Whoever talks to Gu Li made her suspect whether they were interested in Gu Li.

"Jiang Xun only brought her things, didn't you buy something?" Lu Jia also asked.

Gu Li shook his head. His mind was still on Jiang Xun. After returning, Jiang Xun became cold, completely different from when she was alone with him. This made him extremely curious and also wanted to be alone with her again.

Everyone noticed that he didn't want to talk anymore and was used to it. No matter what they asked him everything these days, that's how he replied so no one doubted him except Bai Ran.

...

When Jiang Xun went back to her room to put her things down and was about to go to eat, a staff member came to call her, "Miss Jiang, the producer wants you to head over."

Jiang Xun asked, "Do you know what for?"

The staff hesitated for a while but didn't speak. There was a camera in this room and he was sure Qi Yi was watching them at the moment.

"You'll know once you get there."

Jiang Xun pretended to be surprised and worried, "Is it because of this afternoon?"

Internally, the staff member sighed, nodding, "You should hurry up and follow me."

Jiang Xun followed the staff to Qi Yi's lounge with a fearful appearance.

Once the staff took her to the door, he knocked on the door, "President Qi, Miss Jiang is here." Then he ran away.

Jiang Xun was a little excited. She could meet the superb son of the Heavens she wanted to meet again.

She opened the door and walked in. Qi Yi was currently sitting at the desk, staring at her with cold eyes.

Jiang Xun revealed a surprised look after seeing Qi Yi, "You're the producer?"

Qi Yi squinted his eyes and said nothing.

Jiang Xun said a little fearfully, "Why were you looking for me?"

"I think you probably know?"

"Is it because of what happened in the afternoon? I've already explained to the director… …" Jiang Xun looked at Qi Yi's face, secretly praising, truly what a good-looking face.

"You think I'll believe that?"

Jiang Xun frowned, "What I said is true."

Qi Yi sneered, "I don't care about what you and Gu Li did or where you guys went. I called you here to warn you, don't play any tricks. You'd better behave. The way I see it, you're not pretty to the point where you can do whatever you want. If there's a next time, I'm sure you wouldn't want to know the consequences… …"

Before Qi Yi finished speaking, Jiang Xun suddenly squatted, covering her stomach.

Qi Yi frowned, watching her, and said in a bad tone, "What's the matter with you?"

Jiang Xun's forehead immediately dripped with sweat. Her expression was incredibly painful as her voice became quieter, "My-my stomach suddenly hurts."

Qi Yi froze for a moment, "What are you doing?"

"My that came."

"... …" Qi Yi stood up and walked to her.

"It hurts so much." The tears gathered in her eyes like they could flow down at any time.

Qi Yi pursed his lips, "Then what do you want to do?"

"My medicine is gone."

Qi Yi's face was gloomy. He reached out to touch the medicine bottle in his pocket.

Jiang Xun was so painful that she couldn't even stand up by supporting herself against his leg.

Qi Yi took a deep breath. After thinking about how her face twisted into a bunch and how uncomfortable she seemed, he could only reach out to help her up.

When Jiang Xun's face leaned against his chest, she revealed a successful smile.

"Here's your medicine."

The author has something to say:

Jiang Xun: I'm only feeling this painful because I gave the medicine to you

Qi Yi: I didn't eat at all.

Jiang Xun: I don't believe you, there are obviously a few missing!
