Was he the one who taught Chapter 259?
The interview room was set up in a side hall next to the recording studio.
The host sat on the far left, holding a script in his hand.
The six guests sat on the long sofa in turn.
Su Wuli and Wen Yan sat side by side.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the host asked, "Which part of the puzzle-solving process was the most challenging for you?"
Chen Kai was the first to raise his hand, "Puzzle, I feel like throwing up whenever I see anything shaped like a puzzle."
Lin Luchi laughed, "Didn't you always say you had the strongest brain? You're afraid of puzzles?"
Chen Kai turned to look at him, his expression serious. "The brain is afraid."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone laughed.
Lin Luchi sighed, "I need to buy a ladder when I get back."
Chen Kai asked, puzzled, "What do you need a ladder for?"
"Train your arm strength," Lin Luchi said.
Sun Yanbai chimed in from the side, "You can go to the gym."
Chen Kai replied on his behalf, "The gym doesn't have a private atmosphere, so it won't get your adrenaline pumping."
Everyone laughed again.
After laughing, Wen Yan tidied her hair. The drawstring on her sleeve had come undone, and she struggled to tie it for a while.
"I'm never wearing a skirt to film an escape room again. I got stepped on eight times and fell off three times today."
Chen Kai chimed in from the side, "I stepped on it several times too."
He laughed after saying that, "This episode is no different from the blind man's."
After saying that, everyone began to look each other over.
Lin Luchi's robe had a large, dusty patch at the hem, as if it had rolled on the ground.
Sun Yanbai's white shirt was even more striking.
Liu Yanfei's neat and capable appearance in her Hu-style clothing couldn't escape it either.
Looking back and forth, suddenly everyone's eyes slowly focused on one person.
Su Wuli sat on the chair, her red gauze dress looking like a thin layer of water under the light.
It droops down from the shoulders to the feet.
The gauze revealed the neckline of the moon-white inner garment underneath; the red and white colors overlapped, much like the first hint of color on a branch in early spring.
A few strands of hair fell down from her temples and clung to her cheeks, making her skin appear even whiter.
Her lips were even redder.
The red ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) enveloped her in a warm glow.
Despite spending half a day running around the escape room like everyone else, she seemed to have just stepped out of a painting.
Even those few stray lines looked like brushstrokes deliberately added by the artist.
Chen Kai glanced unwillingly at his robe, then at Su Wuli's skirt.
Turning to Lin Luchi, she said, "How did she escape so secretly? Her clothes weren't even dirty."
[Hahaha, Chen Kai has revealed the truth.]
Su Wuli sat there looking like she had just stepped out of a fashion show, while everyone else looked like they had just escaped from a disaster area.
[Both of them were being chased by NPCs, how do you think she managed to do it? (Smiles knowingly)]
I have to say, Su Wuli is absolutely gorgeous; even her messy hair is stunning.
The red color made her skin look so fair, and the lighting was just right.
Is this the look she got after escaping to an escape room all night? Did she secretly touch up her makeup?
She didn't need to touch up her makeup; the person beside her gave her a sense of security.
[Haha, that's well said.]
Seeing this, the host leaned forward slightly and continued speaking.
"There's another special feature tonight, which everyone should have noticed: a hidden guardian NPC triggered by Wuli."
His tone was a little higher than before, carrying just the right amount of curiosity and surprise.
Upon hearing this, Wen Yan quickly spoke up, "Yes, yes, where did the production team find that NPC? With that physique and aura, I thought he was some kind of martial arts director standing there."
As she spoke, her volume increased by half an octave, making the microphone vibrate and crackle.
Chen Kai nodded in agreement and added, "And his hand speed when doing jigsaw puzzles, let me tell you, even my hand is not as steady as his when I'm practicing calligraphy."
Lin Luchi couldn't help but chime in, "He lifted me down from the platform. I really didn't realize my feet were off the ground before I was standing on the ground."
He gestured as he spoke, "I almost thought I was going to teleport."
Su Wuli sat on the sofa and listened without saying a word.
The host chuckled a few times, "It seems everyone is quite satisfied with this hidden NPC. The production team will consider making him a permanent member."
After saying that, he glanced in the direction of the camera.
The director and screenwriter are standing behind the camera.
[The director's fingers must be white from all the twisting. Just tell us directly if it was improvised.]
The host has amazing composure; I wouldn't be able to laugh in that situation.
Are the other guests genuinely kept in the dark, or are they just playing along?
[A permanent resident? Really? I'll remember that.]
When the host said "let him stay permanently," the director's Adam's apple bobbed so high it could have trapped a fly.
Chen Kai couldn't help but complain, "Next time you have hidden NPCs like this, could you at least give us a heads-up? So we don't actually think they're ghosts."
After speaking, the host paused slightly, gave an awkward smile, and said, "I already said it's a surprise bonus, so I definitely can't tell you in advance."
"Then how about this," Lin Luchi said quickly, "Director, have him act as my bodyguard next time."
[Hahaha, everyone wants this!]
[I can't even imagine what it would be like to be Lin Luchi's protector, hahaha.]
[By the way, did you guys even ask Su Wuli's opinion before you were fighting over her? It feels like she's hers alone!]
[Lin Luchi: How much? Name your price?]
[Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter!]
The interview lasted a few more minutes before the host gave his closing remarks.
The live stream has ended.
……
lounge.
Su Wuli had already changed back into her own clothes.
A creamy white thin sweater, with the collar buttoned up to the top.
I just washed my face, and a few strands of hair on my forehead were still damp.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Wen Yan leaning against the wall, her hoodie zipped up to her chin.
Her bun was a little frizzy.
She held her phone screen down, her finger lightly tapping the edge of the screen.
"Let's go together," Wen Yan said.
"Oh," Su Wuli replied.
The two walked side by side in the corridor for a while, neither of them speaking.
The corridor lights are voice-activated; one of them went out as I walked along.
Su Wuli's footsteps were light, and she didn't light up the lamp. Wen Yan couldn't help but stomp her foot.
The lights came on.
The light shone on their faces.
Wen Yan turned her head and looked around.
He then lowered his voice, "Who's that NPC? You know him, right?"
Upon hearing this, Su Wuli was not surprised at all, knowing that Wen Yan would definitely ask.
She then parted her lips slightly and said, "It's him."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Yan paused for a moment.
Her mouth was slightly open, and her eyes widened a little.
Although she had considered this possibility, she was still stunned when Su Wuli said it herself.
"How did he get in? Was he invited by the production team? Or did he sneak in on his own?"
Wen Yan spoke in a very low voice.
Su Wuli shook her head. "I don't know."
There's no way to tell Wen Yan directly, since we can't exactly say that Yu Chen suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Wen Yan looked at her for two seconds, as if confirming something.
He then couldn't help but tease, "How worried is he about you?"
"It's just recording a variety show, why did you come all the way here, and even act like an NPC, protecting her from beginning to end?" She clicked her tongue sarcastically, "Are you afraid you'll be eaten by some other NPC?"
"No," Su Wuli said.
Seeing her friend's shy expression, Wen Yan couldn't help but laugh.
As he walked, he suddenly remembered something, slowed down, and turned his head to look at Su Wuli.
His gaze lingered on her face for two seconds.
"Wait, last time we bought clothes..." Wen Yan's speech slowed, as if she were recalling something, "You gestured with your hand to describe that figure, were you referring to him?"
Su Wuli was taken aback, her face showing a hint of embarrassment and guilt.
Seeing her like this, Wen Yan already knew what was going on.
The volume suddenly rose by half an octave. "Is it really him?"
Su Wuli nodded.
Wen Yan's lips twitched for a while before she finally managed to squeeze out, "You've gone bad; you lie without even blinking."
"No," Su Wuli retorted.
Wen Yan said, "He taught him, didn't he?"
