Chapter 1358: Sharp-Tongued Tsundere Celebrity & Super Rich Insecure Wife 34

Lin Cheng had already rolled up his sleeves, ready to go down the well via the vine ladder, but Xiang Xiaoyu grabbed him.

"I want to go down and try, let me do it!" Xiang Xiaoyu said eagerly, unafraid.

Lin Cheng froze, glancing at the worried and reluctant Cheng Xi and Mu Sen, then at Jin Chen, who was being all cute and clingy with Shen Shi before heading down the well.

He couldn't help but sigh, "Xiang Xiaoyu, you're really......"

It makes me feel completely lacking in love experience.

It's also an issue that, as they shift from close friends to lovers, they cannot avoid facing.

Lin Cheng scratched his head, jumped down from the well opening, "Alright, you go, be careful."

Jin Chen, Xiang Xiaoyu, and Mu Sen went down the well one after another, with their respective lovers squatting at the well mouth; the scene looked a bit comical.

〖Shen Shi is almost becoming a wife-waiting statue! Does he really love him that much, Shen Shi's wife! 〗

〖Xiang Yu is really awesome! The beautiful girl and her weird cry bodyguard combo is the best! 〗

〖By the way, have you guys noticed Lin Cheng seems a bit unhappy? Is it just my imagination? 〗

〖It's obvious Cheng Xi noticed too, pulling Lin Cheng aside to whisper. 〗

〖Ahhhh, why not bring Shen Shi's wife to play? These two won't play solo, right? 〗

〖?? They're talking about relationship issues, with Jin Chen all lovey-dovey like a bear, what does Shen Shi have to do with this topic…〗

〖Upstairs, Jin Chen has a feeling of déjà vu: arguing by day, yet able to hug his wife and sleep under the same blanket at night. 〗

〖Quickly look at Yang Ji's side! The NPC revenge had me laughing to death! The stoic guy, with no one to retort him, still performs steadily in solo missions! 〗

——

Yang Ji was brought into a pitch-black small room, with no other guests chattering nearby, only various strange sounds coming from the loudspeakers.

His expression grew worse until he heard the door being locked from the outside, and Yang Ji abruptly removed his blindfold.

"What is this! Let me out!"

Just as his words fell, a ghost's projection appeared on the wall. Youyou clung to Yang Ji's shoulder.

"Who are you talking to?"

Yang Ji turned around, seeing the ghost drawing ever closer, almost about to rush into his body.

Yang Ji: "......"

I want to quit this show!

Saying he's not scared is all a lie; this shocking scene even terrified Yang Ji to the point of being unable to cope.

But while frantically searching the room while hiding, he actually found the key to leave the room.

After the ghost's illusion vanished, Yang Ji let out a deep sigh, wiped the cold sweat from his neck, and looked at the fixed camera in the room.

"Searching like this is quite a hassle."

Yang Ji seemed to be talking to himself, messing with his bangs in front of the camera, then patting his chest,

"But it's fine, after all I have experience from last season; finding the key still takes skill, and I actually found it right away."

"Come to think of it, last season's guests were even more affectionate; I really miss them."

Having said that, Yang Ji held his forehead and gave a bitter smile.

〖@Jin Chen, someone is throwing shade at you. 〗

〖Hahaha, the stoic guy performs steadily! His legs were shaking from fear from the ghost, yet he still says he's not scared. 〗

〖Jin Chen hearing this just shook his head. 〗

The Director Team outside the camera possibly couldn't stand it either, and promptly announced via the room's loudspeaker.

"Please find the key, then choose the wish you want to fulfill; the monster will help achieve that wish."

Yang Ji rummaged out a task card from the corner by the door, then let out an surprised laugh.

"Isn't this just getting something for nothing! On the surface we can't take revenge, but secretly no one will find out."

He supported his waist, which had been struck by Jin Chen and still ached faintly, gritted his teeth, and wrote Jin Chen and Shen Shi's names on the task card, as well as his wish:

"Let Shen Shi be captured, locked in the terrifying little black room, and be scared by monsters in turns! At least half an hour must pass before Jin Chen can find someone."

"Then, acting as if nothing happened, return to the courtyard and regroup with the main group."

Moli was excited again, pulling Yang Ji to insist he take off his shirt right then to check for injuries.

Yang Ji pinched her chin and sneered, "Do you have so little faith in your man?"

"How annoying!"

Moli cutely stamped her foot, insisting on pulling Yang Ji to the corner to look.

Suddenly, the courtyard was shoved open.

Many NPCs wearing monster masks rushed in, surrounding Shen Shi on all sides.

"Quick! Grab him! This is the person who broke into our village!"

Shen Shi frowned, pointing at himself doubtfully, "Only me?"

"According to intel, only a pair broke into the village; since we only see you, we must take you back and lock you up!"

The monster-masked figure put handcuffs on the bewildered Shen Shi, "Come with me quickly! Unless your lover finds you within ten minutes, you'll become the next sacrificial victim!"

The Program Team certainly wouldn't really drag it out for half an hour—what if the sponsor got scared and that would be disastrous!

Lin Cheng understood, "Turns out it's a two-person mission."

〖Ahhhh, damn it! Shen Shi is so scared of ghosts, yet they actually made him do the task! 〗

〖Aren't the Program Team afraid the sponsor Father will withdraw funding? 〗

〖Jin Chen came back from the well after retrieving the token, and the sky felt like it had collapsed. 〗

Shen Shi broke free of the toy handcuffs, his slender fingers fidgeting.

"I'm not going."

His expression was cold.

NPC had long been prepared, saying, "If you don't go, it shows you have no confidence in your lover, not believing he can rescue you within ten minutes!"

"Outsider, don't you want to test how important you are in your lover's heart?"

Shen Shi: "Boring."

If he still had doubts before, but as they got along day by day, those sensitive and overthinking tendencies were soothed by Jin Chen, so now he certainly would not doubt his own importance in Jin Chen's heart.

NPC: "……"

What do we do if the sponsor dad doesn't follow the rules?

Yang Ji hurried over, saying in a teasing tone, "Director Shen, I was just taken away to do a solo mission, and I had no complaints—we're all guests; you can't play favorites on the show!"

"This live stream isn't good for Jin Chen's reputation either."

Moli chimed in: "Exactly! Brazenly playing favorites, those who don't know might think this show exists just to serve you."

Shen Shi silently glanced at the well bottom, then followed the monster NPC away with a cold face.

Lin Cheng and Cheng Xi exchanged a glance, then both looked at Yang Ji, asking, "Was the pair mission arranged by you?"

You're practically writing the secret on your face!

Yang Ji didn't deny it either, saying, "Just let everyone participate; Director Shen isn't someone who can't afford to lose."

Lin Cheng shook his head, saying, "You really aren't afraid of being beaten up by Jin Chen."

His close buddy's punches hurt like crazy!

Yang Ji turned a deaf ear, deliberately avoided looking at the well's mouth mission, and wandered around the courtyard searching for clues.

At that moment, at the well bottom.

Various fake spiderwebs and floating white cloth ghosts greatly obstructed the view.

Moreover, the further forward one went, the narrower it became, making even single-person passage somewhat difficult.

Jin Chen and the others finally entered the storage room where the tokens were kept, and fell into contemplation over the several items on the table.

"Hiss..." Jin Chen inhaled, touching the tip of his nose.

"A key is inserted into a half-open lock, strawberries, green bean ice cream, and two locked locks."

Xiang Xiaoyu couldn't believe it, saying, "What do these things have to do with us at all?"

Mu Sen hesitated not, taking the green bean ice cream, saying, "This is the token for me and Cheng Xi."

Jin Chen and Xiang Xiaoyu: "Why?"

Mu Sen lowered his head and chuckled, a bit shyly, saying, "This is my first time on the show; Cheng Xi is my mentor who brought me, and he specially gave me green bean ice cream before the competition to ease my nerves."

Xiang Xiaoyu: "How abstract..."

She scratched her long hair, recalling the many years she'd known Lin Cheng, hesitating as she picked up the strawberry.

"If I remember correctly, when he confessed earlier, he said I was the strawberry type of girl."

Jin Chen made an interested sound, asking, "Does he think you're sweet?"

Xiang Xiaoyu snorted coldly, saying, "He says I'm full of little flaws, but he still likes my inner self."

Jin Chen: "……"

Even Lin Cheng managing to win a wife is no easy feat.
