Desire! This Romance Is Overflowing with Ambiguous Atmosphere! So Sweet! - Chapter 12

Shi Ke had long anticipated this answer.

All the guests had been like this when they first joined this dating show, stubborn for a few days, but sooner or later, they would admit it.

Meanwhile, Yu Zheng was also undergoing interrogation.

The robotic voice simulated by Shi Ke sounded:

“Yu Zheng, do you choose to shift the blame to Wen Shiwu, admitting that she was the one clinging to you that night, in exchange for an immediate escape from the darkness?”

Yu Zheng lowered his thick eyelashes.

Under the night-vision camera, his features were etched more sharply, even the line of his brow bone seemed deeper.

He slowly lifted his chin: “Trade a lie that ruins a girl’s reputation for my own freedom?”

Yu Zheng let out a light, disdainful laugh.

“No deal.” His reply was crisp and decisive.

Fans were nearly frantic with anxiety, unable to understand why he would rather suffer himself and protect Wen Shiwu to the very end.

Luo Xuan also frowned while watching the live stream: “Teacher Yu really is such a gentleman…”

Lin Xingyou held a different opinion: “But God Yu is so manly! He said he can’t ruin Teacher Wen’s reputation! Maybe everything he said is true, and he really is Teacher Wen’s devoted fan?”

Luo Xuan was both amused and exasperated by her naivety.

She asserted, “How could that be? Even if God Yu were to be a fan of someone, it would definitely only be that white moonlight of his! I advise you not to overthink it.”

Yu Zheng’s fans completely agreed with Luo Xuan.

They even began to suspect that Lin Xingyou had been bribed by Wen Shiwu, starting topics to criticize the observer.

Back at the main recording site.

None of the guests chose to recant and leave. Aside from Yu Zheng and Wen Shiwu, the other two rumored couples also firmly decided to take on the next challenge.

All entrances and exits were completely sealed.

Shi Ke resumed his original voice: “Congratulations to all guests for passing the first test! Now announcing the rules for the next challenge!”

Wen Shiwu crouched on the ground, not daring to stand up.

She lifted her face, gazing eagerly at the speaker used by the dung beetle director to convey the game rules.

“This round: Quiz Challenge!”

Shi Ke continued explaining: “Guests, please listen to the questions and answer within the allotted time. For each correct answer, the danger level in the corresponding room will decrease by one level. Answer all questions correctly to leave safely.”

Wen Shiwu hugged herself fearfully.

She was genuinely terrified of heights, a physiological fear stemming from a childhood incident when she fell from a height while filming with a harness.

Though she wasn’t injured that time,

She was lucky enough to land on a soft cushion.

But it left an indelible shadow.

Wen Shiwu didn’t dare to look at how high the abyss beside her was. She kept her face tilted upward, her deer-like eyes misty, yet seemingly unwilling to admit defeat.

Just then.

The robotic voice sounded again: “The content to be played next is, Yu Zheng’s Fan Identity Questionnaire!”

Wen Shiwu: ?

She froze for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up, the mist in them completely vanishing.

“Yu Zheng’s fan identity questionnaire?”

“This is testing Wen Shiwu’s fan status, right? To see if she’s really a career fan.”

“Vocal! This director knows how to play.”

“Hahahaha, our daughter’s eyes lit up instantly, like she’s super confident about this.”

Wen Shiwu was, of course, extremely confident about this.

She had liked Yu Zheng for four years!

Oh, of course, it was just the kind of adoration a fan would have, and it was strictly limited to being a fan of his career and his looks.

As Yu Zheng’s senior fan leader, she dared to claim there wasn’t a single question she couldn’t answer!

At that moment, Wen Shiwu was also overjoyed. She felt her heart, which had been tossed into the air by extreme fear, now soaring freely at great heights, even spreading its wings to fly.

“I’m good at this!” she eagerly raised her hand. “Hurry up and ask! Ask me and then let me down, you dung beetle!”

Shi Ke: “…”

He really didn’t want to watch Wen Shiwu’s monitor for another second, lest he hear her call him a dung beetle over and over again. He simply handed her segment over to the assistant director.

The questioning had already begun.

The robot: “What is the date of Yu Zheng’s debut?”

Wen Shiwu: “June 21, 2020! The summer solstice! It was also his 20th birthday!”

First question answered correctly.

The platform beside Wen Shiwu, designed to create a cliffside horror atmosphere, indeed rose a little higher.

She stole a glance.

But her fear of heights still made her heart tremble with terror. Wen Shiwu quickly averted her tentative gaze, closed her eyes, and hugged herself even tighter.

Don’t look, don’t look…

As long as she didn’t look, she definitely wouldn’t be afraid!

Wen Shiwu comforted herself.

She took deep breaths but couldn’t help trembling, her palms already drenched in cold sweat.

The questioning continued.

Yu Zheng was facing a similar situation.

The questionnaire the director gave him was similar to Wen Shiwu’s, designed to test his identity as a fan. For every correct answer, a door would open until he could leave the dark corridor.

Shi Ke even specifically asked the observation panel, “What do the three of you think? Will Teacher Yu successfully pass the test?”

Lin Xingyou was a seasoned fangirl.

She had no connections and was straightforward in her thinking.

She always felt that Yu Zheng didn’t seem like someone who could be swayed by money and was more inclined to believe what he had said himself.

“I think it’s possible!” Lin Xingyou said excitedly. “After all, God Yu himself said he’s a fan of Teacher Wen’s dramas!”

Luo Xuan sneered.

She refuted without hesitation, “You actually believe that excuse about defending Wen Shiwu? They’ve never had any interaction before. If he were really a fan of her dramas, how come they’re only meeting now?”

Lin Xingyou was upset by the rebuttal.

But her status couldn’t compare to Luo Xuan’s, so she could only mutter quietly, “Maybe he’s like me, I genuinely like Sheng Yandi but just hasn’t had the chance to meet him until now…”

Luo Xuan: “God Yu is a top star. How could he be like you? If he really wanted to meet his idol, it would be as simple as saying the word.”

“Teacher Luo is quite confident,” Jiang Ran suddenly interjected. “Always treating the rumors she spreads as the truth.”

Luo Xuan’s body stiffened abruptly.

She turned to look at Jiang Ran. For some reason, facing his wild, intense gaze always made her a bit uneasy.

Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow confidently. “I know my bro best. Just watch, he won’t get a single question wrong.”

The audience: ??????

This guy seems to know a lot of inside information!

Not simple!

The rumors are definitely not simple!

But Yu Zheng’s fans remained stubborn: “I believe in our brother! He must have been threatened by the capitalists! There’s no way he could be that wretched woman’s fan!”

At that moment, the camera cut back to Yu Zheng, and the voice questioning for the fan identity test officially began,

Director: “Wen Shiwu’s birthday.”

It was the most basic question.

Yu Zheng lifted his gaze: “January 30, 2002.”

First question answered correctly.

The first door swung open.

Fans remained unfazed: “Pfft, it’s normal to get such an easy question right. You could even look it up on Baidu Encyclopedia.”

Director: “What genre was Wen Shiwu’s debut work when she debuted at age six?”

Yu Zheng: “Costume fantasy genre.”

This was also an answer searchable on Baidu, but he added extra: “The Peach Blossom Allure, where she played the young Daji.”

But the second door didn’t open.

Shi Ke: Hehehe, fell into the trap, didn’t you!

He rubbed his hands together excitedly.

Yet the next moment, Yu Zheng lazily raised his eyes and calmly corrected: “However, she actually debuted at age five.”

Shi Ke: ?!

His smile instantly froze on his face.
