Chapter 41: So Bored, Want to Do Something?

Now that you mention it, I also feel the Investigation Team members seem more like Escapees, out in the wind and rain, hahaha.

Indeed, those who know know they're the Investigation Team; those who don't probably really think they're Escapees. They didn't sleep well all night, and in the morning could only eat instant noodles—what a sin!

I'll go see what Xu Mo next door is doing.

……

Room No. 3 Live Broadcast Room.

Xu Mo had just finished washing up when he heard a knock at the door.

Hello, guest, your breakfast has arrived.

Xu Mo glanced at Yang Jingxuan.

Before he could speak, Yang Jingxuan cheerfully ran to open the door.

When the door opened, they saw a hotel staff member pushing a small cart.

Miss, hello, this is the breakfast you ordered; I'll go in and set it on the table for you.

"Alright," Yang Jingxuan tilted her body to make a path.

The staff moved swiftly; in no time they placed several plates on the table and lifted the lids covering them.

This is the breakfast our hotel prepared for guests in the Presidential Suite, with both Chinese and Western dishes. Please see if it suits your palate; if you don't like any of these, you can make a request and we'll have the kitchen prepare something fresh.

"It's all edible!," Yang Jingxuan smiled and nodded.

"Alright, then enjoy your meal; if you need anything, you can call the front desk at any time."

After the staff left, Yang Jingxuan looked at the extremely lavish breakfast table and couldn't help glancing at Xu Mo.

"Wow… this is way too lavish!"

It's not that Yang Jingxuan hasn't seen this before; in fact she has stayed in a Presidential Suite before, but don't forget, her current status is that of a 'Meat Ticket'.

She didn't expect a 'Meat Ticket' to live so comfortably; having watched many TV dramas, she knows that the treatment of 'Meat Tickets' is usually not that great.

Moreover… if she encountered those perverted kidnappers, she might be taken for stick-and-rod discipline every now and then.

"What the heck? Someone eats lobster for breakfast!? Is this the treatment of a Presidential Suite?"

"I can tolerate baked buns, steamed dumplings, and fried dough sticks; those are normal breakfast items. But damn, lobster and sea cucumber for breakfast!?"

"Is this the breakfast standard for Escapees? The Investigation Team members eat instant noodles, and they eat this stuff??"

"Is Xu Mo here to be an Escapee or to improve his standard of living?"

In Room No. 3 Live Broadcast Room, the Water Friends were stunned when they saw that lavish breakfast table.

Escapees in TV dramas don't seem to act like this, right?

Which Escapee, when being pursued, can stay in a Presidential Suite and calmly eat such a lavish breakfast?

……

Even the Investigation Team didn't expect that while they had to keep an eye on this area and were forced to have instant noodles for breakfast, Xu Mo was staying in a Presidential Suite at a nearby hotel, feasting on delicacies…

As Yang Jingxuan ate, she glanced, whether intentionally or not, at Xu Mo sitting across from her.

She suddenly felt that the days as a 'Meat Ticket' seemed quite good—not only a Presidential Suite to stay in, but also such a lavish breakfast to eat.

She even began to doubt whether the scene in TV dramas where a relaxed Escapee, to evade capture, can only sleep on a footbridge and eat instant noodles, is fake.

After eating, Yang Jingxuan leaned back in her chair, a face full of satisfaction.

"We've eaten, what shall we do next?"

"Wait," Xu Mo said only one word.

Yang Jingxuan didn't know what Xu Mo was waiting for, nor how long he would wait.

But none of that was within her considerations; she was clear that she only needed to cooperate with Xu Mo.

She obediently nodded, "Oh."

After saying that, she simply ran to the side, sat on the sofa, and played on her phone to pass the time.

But after a short while, she felt a bit bored.

She leaned over Xu Mo again.

"So bored, aren't you bored? Don't you want to do something?"

"Do something?" Xu Mo turned his head, glanced up and down at Yang Jingxuan, then shook his head: "Not interested."

After a while, Yang Jingxuan asked again.

"Are you sure you don't want to do anything?"

"Sure."

A few minutes later, Yang Jingxuan was still a bit persistent.

"Really, you don't want to do anything?"

"Hmm."

……

Room No. 3 Live Broadcast Room.

"Are their chats really on the same channel? Why do I feel like they're each talking separately?"

"Drop the feeling, be confident; indeed their chats aren't on the same channel—one is still on Makabaka, the other has already driven the car onto the highway."

"But the question is, who of the two got onto the highway!? The more I listen, the more confused I become."

"The adult world is really hard to understand… I'll just go sit by the supermarket entrance and rock the car a bit."

……

Time passed second by second.

Whenever she had nothing to do, Yang Jingxuan turned her head to glance at Xu Mo.

To be honest, she is now very curious about Xu Mo; he is one of the few men who don't proactively engage with her.

Even so, Yang Jingxuan once even began doubting her own looks, doubting her own figure.

But on second thought, Yang Jingxuan again felt she had no problem, after all she is also a star, making a living off her face, which proves her looks are far better than those of the overwhelming majority of people.

Sitting on the sofa, racking her brain all day, Yang Jingxuan traced the problem back to Xu Mo.

She guessed that Xu Mo must have thoughts about her, but she is too dazzling, so he didn't dare to voice them.

She must devise a move to make Xu Mo reveal his feelings!

After all, there's a camera on her streaming the whole time; if Xu Mo acted completely uninterested in her, wouldn't that be a huge loss of face for her?

"Xu Mo, do you want to play Truth or Big Adventure?"

Looking up at Yang Jingxuan, Xu Mo nodded.

"Sure, how do we play?"

Yang Jingxuan initially wanted to suggest Dou Di Zhu, but with only two people in the room they couldn't play, and having witnessed Xu Mo's card‑playing skill and his IQ, she also knew she could never beat this fellow!

After thinking it over, Yang Jingxuan spoke.

"Let's keep it simple, Rock Paper Scissors."

A luck‑based game like Rock Paper Scissors can never be won by brainpower, right!?

"Alright," Xu Mo extended a hand, "Don't say I didn't give you a chance; this round I choose Paper."

When Yang Jingxuan heard that, she thought, "This kind of trick, and you still try to fool me?!? Huh? You really think I'm stupid?!"

Actually, most of the time, I'm quite clever, alright.

The next second, Yang Jingxuan began to think.

Xu Mo said Paper, definitely trying to trick me into playing Scissors, then he would play Rock to win.

So, beating Xu Mo is simple; just play Paper.

"Rock Paper Scissors…"

Yang Jingxuan played Paper, but Xu Mo played Scissors.

Yang Jingxuan was silent for a few seconds, then seemed as if a groundhog had taken over her body…

"Ah!!! You set me up!"
