DTBS – Chapter 65

Chapter 65: Kinda Cute

【I actually thought the way the Sea King Qiuqiu blocked Sister Qin just now was really cool】

【You're not alone】

【Ahhhhh, I'm so envious, she's really good to girls, I want to be one of Sister Qiuqiu's girlfriends】

【Enough with the love-struck talk, can you tolerate your girlfriend flirting with others every day?】

After the first pair of partners was formed, the remaining guests also began to team up freely.

Finally, Tao Qiuyun and Qin Qingshang were one team, Ming Siwen and Wu Shenfeng were one team, Ding Yuyan and Bai Yunquan were one team, Zhou Linwan and Ai Yi were one team, and Jiang Lihe... was with Meng Wuzhong.

Jiang Lihe: ...?

He was very angry; no woman was willing to choose him voluntarily!

After Qin Qingshang and Tao Qiuyun paired up, Wu Shenfeng immediately asked Ming Siwen, then Bai Yunquan approached Ding Yuyan, and Ai Yi found Zhou Linwan. In the end... only he and the big guy Meng Wuzhong were left!

Five men and five women. If there was a female-female pair, it meant there would be at least one male-male pair among them. But why did it have to be him!

【Hahahahahaha, help, this pretentious guy teamed up with my Brother Meng, their expressions, for a moment I couldn't tell who was more miserable】

【That person surnamed Tao is so troublesome, does she think she's the center of the world? Changing the show's rules however she wants】

【Are you sick? Did Sister Qiuqiu change them however she wanted? Didn't the production team agree too?】

【I think everyone except the guy surnamed Jiang is quite happy】

【Brother Meng is the most miserable, right? Hahahahaha, that guy surnamed Jiang is so far away from him, I'm dying of laughter】

【I'm a man, I like Brother Meng's muscles】

【Excessive fitness for men only attracts the same sex, Brother Meng, you understand now】

"According to our partner combinations," the host handed out room cards to the guests, "your rooms have also been arranged, all on the third floor. There are no other activities today, after all, it's the first day. After dinner, everyone is free to do as they please."

"You can chat together, take a walk, or play board games in the activity room. But there's one thing to remind everyone: don't sleep too soundly tonight, we'll have a surprise mission at night."

Dinner was very rich. The director really didn't lie to them; those four dishes were indeed major dishes. They weren't just dishes anymore, but four different cuisines.

The guests all ate happily, even picky people like Jiang Lihe showed smiles. It seemed the chef's skills were excellent.

The little cat took a sip of the multi-grain porridge and found it familiar, so she took another sip.

Mystery solved, it tasted exactly the same as the porridge made by the chef at the Tao family's old house!

Unfortunately, with the live stream audio, she couldn't ask Tao Qiuyun right now if her family's chef had come over.

After dinner, Jiang Lihe refused Wu Shenfeng's friendly invitation. He had been hurt by board games; don't expect him to touch such low-level games again!

So he invited Meng Wuzhong, asking if he wanted to play billiards with him, the reason being that he wanted to get closer to his partner for tomorrow... The main reason was that playing billiards alone was boring.

Excluding the two, the eight guests were in the activity room. It was still early before bedtime, so everyone gathered together and played a few rounds of Werewolf.

Anyone on Qin Qingshang's team didn't win a single round.

What made the comments section burst into laughter was one round where Qin Qingshang was the Witch. She finally brought out her heirloom antidote and saved the dying Tao Qiuyun, only to find out she was a wolf who had self-stabbed. So the little cat was planning to use the poison she had rarely not used at the start on the next night...

But things didn't go as planned; she was killed by the Lone Wolf Tao Qiuyun first.

Qin Qingshang: ... (The little cat took a deep breath)

Tao Qiuyun: If the game isn't for winning, what is it for?

【Hahahahahaha, Sister Qin was ultimately betrayed】

【Why save the Sea King? You believed her nonsense】

【Hahahaha, without the burden of Sister Qin scattering poison everywhere at the start, the Sea King Qiuqiu really went on a killing spree】

【Qiu Yi: When I get ruthless, even if I'm the only wolf left on the field, I dare to kill myself】

【Why did Sister Qin save her? Show the attitude of the divine doctor who didn't save anyone in the previous rounds. Why did you pull out your antidote as soon as the Sea King died? Hahahahaha, and you ended up saving a real wolf! And she killed you】

【Facts prove that when playing Werewolf with the Sea King Qiuqiu, you must scatter poison everywhere. Witches, have you learned?】

【Learned, learned. Just went to set up a game to learn from Sister Qin and scatter poison everywhere, and I've already been reported】

The Werewolf game ended amidst everyone's laughter...

The ten guests also returned to their rooms to wash up and rest, but no one actually fell asleep, as the host had mentioned a surprise attack at night.

Late at night...

"Guests, please get into bed and sleep. Please cooperate."

The director's voice-over suddenly sounded. Although everyone didn't quite understand, they all got into bed and lay down.

Just as everyone lay down, an arc-shaped shield-like object suddenly emerged from the headboard, enveloping them. Then the rooms seemed to start shifting.

"What's happening? Wow! The lights suddenly went completely dark!"

The guests' noisy voices kept ringing out, and the comments section was full of question marks.

【Am I watching a romance show or an escape room?】

【What kind of operation is this, so flashy, but I love watching it, bring more】

Although it was late at night, because they knew 《Super High-Speed Heartbeat》 would be live-streamed the whole time, and they even mentioned a night surprise today, many people were still staying up in the live stream room, unwilling to leave. The popularity remained number one across the entire network, even surpassing many peak-time major streamers.

Tao Qiuyun felt a bit dizzy from the shaking. The shield outside changed color, turning completely black the moment it fully enveloped them, making it impossible to see outside, but the sounds were very clear.

She reached out and knocked on the shield, seemingly wanting to confirm its material, but unexpectedly, it opened automatically.

A strange smell filled her nostrils, making Tao Qiuyun frown. She looked around; the room had completely changed, no longer the simple style from before, but filled with many strange things and in complete disarray.

"Hahahahaha!" The TV screen suddenly turned on, showing a live indicator. On the screen, a person in a black cloak was laughing maniacally.

Tao Qiuyun remained expressionless, listening to the person on the TV talk a lot. To summarize:

She and her girlfriend came out to play and, to save money, went to a very cheap hotel. Now she and her girlfriend were locked up separately. The hotel owner was a pervert who loved watching others struggle to survive in front of him, and also liked seeing people abandon each other when disaster struck, and most of all, enjoyed seeing backstabbing.

Her and her girlfriend's current situation was very dangerous. They only had two hours; the TV screen was counting down. They had to work together to escape the room, otherwise, poisonous gas would be released. However, she could also choose to kill her girlfriend, and the hotel owner would let her leave.

According to the cloaked man's request, Tao Qiuyun moved the bookshelf and indeed saw a railing similar to a ventilation duct. She lay on the ground, removed the iron railing, revealing a very narrow passage. Even crawling inside would be difficult and would likely take some time.

But there was no other way. The cloaked man said that Qin Qingshang's shield was specially made and required a specific frequency applied externally to unlock. She had to crawl over.

Tao Qiuyun crawled while thinking...

Were the other guests' rooms like this too?

【Hahahahahaha, I'm dying of laughter, they should mess with the Sea King】

【Just came from next door, everyone else has a double escape room in one room to solve together, only the Sea King Qiuqiu and Sister Qin are separated】

【I'm really envious of that figure, she squeezed in so easily, my chest is too big to squeeze in】

【? What's with that twist? No, Sister Qiuqiu isn't small either, she's just right!】

After finally seeing light, Tao Qiuyun realized that her room and Qin Qingshang's room were offset. She was now against the ceiling wall, and if she went down, it would be difficult to get back up using leverage.

Wait, this meant that she and Qin Qingshang were actually in two different escape rooms?

A TV was hung on the opposite wall, and on the bed below, Qin Qingshang's bed was still sealed by the shield, completely invisible.

At this moment, the signal on the TV flickered, and a sentence suddenly appeared. A cold, emotionless AI voice began to play:

[Please shout "Wife, I love you", "Wife, I really love you", "Wife, I really, really love you ah" to unlock the mechanism]

Tao Qiuyun: ...

What are you doing?

Trying to make things awkward, huh?

Who exactly are you trying to make suffer social death!

【Hahahahahaha, I'm dying of laughter, what kind of expression is that on the Sea King? Shouldn't shouting 'wife' come naturally to you?】

【Wow, I'm thinking, since their situation is so different, could the production team be retaliating against the Sea King Qiuqiu for her earlier teaming behavior? Hahahahaha】

【Quick! Shout it, I want to hear it!】

Tao Qiuyun pursed her lips, still hesitating a bit. After all, shouting such words in front of the entire internet was, well, too... immodest!

She took a deep breath and shouted loudly towards below, "Wife, I love you, Wife, I really love you, Wife, I really, really love you!"

The shield lock remained unresponsive.

Tao Qiuyun: ?

How could this be!

Tao Aiqin leaned against Big Bold, pounding the ground with laughter: "Hahahahahaha, help, I really can't take it anymore, this production team, do they even know that Qiu Yi is Tao Qiuyun, the CEO of Chunjin? Hahahahaha, I'm so afraid this show will be the final swan song of their careers."

System: "So why didn't it unlock?"

The little cat wiped away the tears from laughing: "Because of those quotation marks. Shouting any one of them would unlock it, but she shouted all of them, and she was missing an 'ah' at the end of the last one."

"Hahahahaha, help! Sys, can you decode that shield? I want to see what the female lead's expression is like now, after all, that shield isn't soundproof, she must have heard it."

System: "We are a proper system, this kind of thing..."

Tao Aiqin: "I'll give you some points, Sys~ We're on the same side, family doesn't keep secrets from each other."

System: "We are a proper system, of course I'll help you with this kind of thing!"

The System was no longer the System of the past; it had learned the essence of humans, the 'Add Money' Method!

Inside the shield on the bed, Qin Qingshang curled up into a ball, covering her mouth to stifle her laughter.

Tao Qiuyun, how could she be so earnest? And quite cute.
