"Do you want to use that opportunity now?"
"You're not in the right state. You need to rest properly."
Bai Bin wasn't foolish; he could tell Ye Xun had something weighing on her mind that she couldn't overcome. He couldn't pry further, so he could only help her in this way.
If the game proceeded according to his guesses, the subsequent activities might not be suitable for a gentle woman like Ye Xun.
Not only would she be unable to participate, but it would also leave a heavy shadow on her heart.
Ye Xun looked up at Bai Bin helplessly, her eyes already brimming with tears, but she stubbornly held them back.
She felt deeply apologetic for her distress and powerlessness, yet she truly couldn't bring herself to decide to continue.
"Thank you."
Her voice choked. Bai Bin tried to calm her down and searched the room for a help button.
He searched all around and couldn't find one, but a faint memory surfaced.
"The corridor." He helped Ye Xun to the corridor and pressed the button.
Soon, the doctor returned to them.
"Is this young lady experiencing any problems?"
He wore a gentle smile.
But Bai Bin was on high alert. Even if the initial game rules were unreliable, it was better to be safe than sorry. The show had stated that those in black clothes were staff, so he had to wait.
"Oh, I'm sorry, she's just feeling a little unwell. I was bringing her to rest in the corridor and accidentally pressed the button. I apologize for the trouble."
Bai Bin apologized with a contrite expression; he was a good actor.
The doctor's probing gaze fell upon them, his eyes lingering on Ye Xun's face.
Finally, sensing Bai Bin's resistance, he nodded.
"It's fine. If you encounter any issues, feel free to find me anytime."
Bai Bin thanked him, and the doctor turned and left, disappearing around the corner of the corridor.
Soon, a group of people in black arrived. They exchanged no words with Bai Bin. Their bodies were fully covered, leaving only their bright, dark eyes visible.
"She will be safely escorted to the director's team, right?"
Bai Bin asked the person holding a work badge before they left.
The person nodded and raised the badge they were holding, but before Bai Bin could get a clear look, they retracted it.
With Ye Xun gone, Bai Bin was left to search for clues alone.
Meanwhile, Sheng Chenjin and Yun Rou's situation was much more optimistic.
The two entered the room without a word and began searching separately, with no verbal communication.
As there was only one live stream divided into many cameras, there were quite a number of viewers watching them.
After all, attractive young men and women would naturally become a topic of conversation.
\[You think they were so lively outside, but they're acting like mute people inside. Is it because of Shi Xin Xin?\]
\[Don't blame me for being curious about the kidneys in this room. I can't help but laugh.\]
\[How do they manage to search for clues inside with such calm expressions?\]
\[Why did Ye Xun leave so suddenly?\]
\[Does the show have some hidden agenda?\]
The previously harmonious live stream was suddenly stirred up.
However, it didn't affect any of the guests.
"Hey, I heard this is your first variety show?"
Yun Rou was idly flipping through a book, finally unable to contain her curiosity, and looked at Sheng Chenjin, who was diligently searching through documents.
"My name is not 'Hey'."
Sheng Chenjin frowned, not intending to answer her question directly.
\[Hahaha, 'My name is not Hey' is hilarious. Are you called Chu Yu Xuan then?\]
The bullet comments were instantly flooded with this remark, shifting the atmosphere from tense to lively.
"Oh, President Sheng."
Yun Rou pouted, somewhat displeased with his attitude.
"Miss Yun, isn't this also your first time participating in this show? What's strange about me participating for the first time?"
Hearing Sheng Chenjin directly reveal her yet-to-be-announced identity made her eyelids twitch involuntarily.
Would this guy really try to go to extremes with her?
However, thinking about her mission, she nonchalantly tried to pry information about Shi Xin Xin from him.
\[Only outsiders would dare to speak to Senior Yun like this.\]
\[What outsiders? Don't generalize. Try saying that to me if you dare.\]
\[Am I the only one who noticed Miss Yun's address? They seem to know each other.\]
\[Does Senior Yun have some other special identity? I thought she was extraordinary when she studied abroad.\]
\[Aren't you all curious why the two of them are talking with such animosity?\]
\[Curious, but who dares to ask?\]
It was like a tug-of-war between the two, one throwing out a question, the other deflecting it, never answering directly.
It was like playing with a yo-yo, pulling the string out and letting it spin, never retracting it.
"Kid, listen to your sister's advice, this isn't how you pursue a girl."
Yun Rou adopted an adult demeanor, and her alluring voice could be lethal to men.
Sheng Chenjin didn't even glance at her.
"How should I pursue a girl? Senior Yun seems very experienced. Are you willing to share?"
However, Sheng Chenjin was clearly intrigued by the topic.
He would never tell anyone that he had been struggling with matters of the heart lately.
"You have to tell me Xin Xin's usual habits. Then I can analyze her personality for you."
Yun Rou threw out her question.
"Can you guarantee that if I tell you, you will tell me?"
Sheng Chenjin knew what she was trying to achieve by asking this question.
Wasn't it just to get close to Shi Xin Xin and catch her off guard?
"This is a sure-win transaction. You still don't trust me?"
"Then forget it. I don't have to help you with this."
She sighed softly, her tone resolute.
"Don't try to approach her under this pretense."
Sheng Chenjin's tone became sharp, and his words to Yun Rou carried a strong warning.
"What, are you jealous already? You don't understand her, but you won't let me understand her?"
Yun Rou feigned anger and slammed the book back onto the bookshelf, unaware that she had triggered something.
"Are you trying to snatch her away from me..."
Sheng Chenjin looked up, annoyed at her.
This kind of woman was very noisy.
Indeed, not all women were as cute when angry as Shi Xin Xin.
But the bookshelf behind Yun Rou slowly lowered, revealing a massive mural.
Upon seeing the painting, Sheng Chenjin's expression became even more solemn.
"What? Are you scared?"
Yun Rou looked at Sheng Chenjin's worried expression but realized his gaze wasn't on her.
She cautiously took a few steps forward, following Sheng Chenjin's line of sight.
She saw a bloody mural.
She recalled the strange bump when she had put the book back and the bookshelf that had silently descended behind her.
Her expression turned peculiar.
