The Security Guard Who Won the Heart of the Unattainable Actress - Chapter 23.2
Chapter 23.2
“I’m sorry,” Hua Yuzhi said in a low voice. “I’m so sorry. My long-legged persona has completely collapsed today.”
“It’s okay. Just leave them in there. You’ll need to keep them in,” Ran Mingyue said. She compared her height with Xiang Que’s and then, without hesitation, chose an external height-increasing prop from the prop rack. On top of her original insoles, she instantly became 9cm taller.
The girls were tall, and female celebrities, especially with their good body proportions, looked like they were almost as tall as Xiang Que.
Xiang Que held back a laugh and, as Ran Mingyue had said before, gave his watch to Ran Mingyue.
“One minute left.”
When Wang Rou’s voice rang out, Ran Mingyue quickly grabbed a fake abdominal muscle board from the prop rack and tied it around her waist.
Comments: “Hahahahahahahahaha, I really didn’t expect the abdominal muscle board!”
The countdown in the earpiece continued. The living room and dining room area were specific, and there were not many places to choose from. If Wen Yingzhi had carefully checked, she would have been able to master all the terrain.
At this moment, the guests on the sofa had all stood up, which meant that hiding on the sofa would be discovered immediately.
When the countdown entered the last thirty seconds, Ran Mingyue quickly put on the abdominal muscle board. Xiang Que cooperated with her quite well. He even took off his jacket and threw it to Ran Mingyue.
Ran Mingyue caught it cleanly and put it on. She waved to Hua Yuzhi.
Li Guang didn’t even have time to react before Ran Mingyue and Hua Yuzhi came over.
According to the game requirements, anything within the designated area that you could see could become your prop.
“I’ll hide for a bit.” Li Guang was caught off guard, and her heart rate accelerated because of Ran Mingyue’s sudden proximity.
She steadied her breathing. Ran Mingyue lifted Li Guang’s hand. Li Guang understood.
“Okay,” she took a step toward Ran Mingyue and protected her behind her.
Wen Yingzhi was still rubbing her hands together: “Give up! I’ve already heard your voice. You can’t hide from me.”
“Five, four, three, two, one. The countdown is over. The search begins now. The timer for the hunting team has started.”
“I know you’re here.” Wen Yingzhi was so bold and meticulous. She went straight to the pile of staff members and started groping around.
The cameras came to life with the guests. The six small cameras on the security guards were in chaos. Only Camera 06 was as steady as a rock, not moving at all. Only Ran Mingyue’s long eyelashes and profile appeared, looking peaceful and making the fans scream.
Ran Mingyue was comfortable under Li Guang’s protection. Wen Yingzhi was running wild in the pile of staff members. She stopped about two people away from them, her hand grabbing Chai Ning’s arm.
“Is that you? Are you a staff member or Xiang Que!”
Chai Ning didn’t say anything. Only Wang Rou prompted him: “This is a staff member.”
“A staff member? Isn’t this muscular body Teacher Xiang?” Wen Yingzhi was still suspicious. Xiang Que loved to work out, and his height was about the same, which was why Wen Yingzhi was sure it was him.
“More than half the time is gone!”
“Darn it.” Wen Yingzhi stomped her foot and started a more detailed search. Coincidentally, the two staff members next to Li Guang were both looking down.
Hua Yuzhi changed her position and also came behind Li Guang. Li Guang was about to move, but Ran Mingyue gently shook her head at her.
When Wen Yingzhi’s hand came over, Ran Mingyue extended her wrist a little. Wen Yingzhi just happened to touch the watch on Ran Mingyue’s hand.
Then, Ran Mingyue quickly pulled her hand back.
“I got you!” Wen Yingzhi’s voice became extremely loud. “Director! I found them! They’re right here!”
Wang Rou said, “Who did you find? You can still confirm. Don’t rush to answer.”
Wen Yingzhi stood still and sniffed. She smelled a familiar perfume in the air. Although it was faint, it couldn’t be compared to the scent she had smelled before the show.
“Teacher Xiang, how can you still get Hua Yuzhi to come here and confuse me?” Wen Yingzhi scoffed at this. “I already touched your watch.”
“Come out,” Wen Yingzhi said.
Li Guang looked at Ran Mingyue worriedly and whispered, “Did I not help you?”
“How could you not help!”
“You let us appreciate Teacher Ran’s beauty in a state of chaos.”
“This is a huge gain, security guard sister.”
“I want a Security Guard 06 like that too! I want to be her princess!”
“When Wen Yingzhi’s hand reached out, I stopped breathing too!”
Ran Mingyue stepped out and stood face-to-face with Wen Yingzhi.
Wang Rou said, “Now you can touch three places, but you can’t touch the facial features.”
Because facial features were too easy to recognize.
The first place, Wen Yingzhi touched the other person’s shoulder and found that she needed to raise her hand, as they were so much taller than her.
The second place, Wen Yingzhi reached out and touched the abdominal muscle board on Ran Mingyue.
“No need to look! I’m sure!” Wen Yingzhi shouted.
Her teammates over there were holding back from laughing but couldn’t make a sound. Jiang Qiaoye felt it was a shame that they were going to lose, but he also found it funny. Song Suoqi was holding back her laughter so much that her face turned red, especially when Wen Yingzhi shouted.
Wang Rou said, “Are you sure?”
Wen Yingzhi said loudly, “I’m sure! Teacher Xiang’s abs are so well-trained, it must be Teacher Xiang. I touched them for the fans. I’m sorry.”
When the blindfold was taken off, Wen Yingzhi saw that it was Ran Mingyue.
“???”
Are you playing me?
Ran Mingyue smiled: “You lost.”
“It wasn’t you—” She saw Ran Mingyue taking off the abdominal muscle board on her waist, and she was speechless. She then looked at Hua Yuzhi, who raised an eyebrow and ignored her.
Wen Yingzhi: Gritting her teeth.
In the second round, Wen Yingzhi refused to give in and went out to hide. She took a different approach and hid directly behind the curtain.
She hadn’t made a sound. Ran Mingyue was still blindfolded, but this time she didn’t go to the staff at all. Before the countdown was over, she pulled Wen Yingzhi out from behind the curtain.
“Wen Yingzhi,” Ran Mingyue also said. “I’m sure. No need to look.”
After taking off the blindfold, Wen Yingzhi said exasperatedly, “How did you find me? I don’t believe it!”
Ran Mingyue: “You’re easy to find because I’m very familiar with you.”
It was Wen Yingzhi’s first time as a captain, and she couldn’t stay calm. After losing the first round, she would definitely come again for the second. As for why she was chosen in one go, it was a blind choice. She was lucky. But Ran Mingyue knew it would be Wen Yingzhi.
When you’re familiar with someone, it’s not just about their location.
It’s also their scent, their silhouette, and even their breathing.
Wen Yingzhi: “I disagree! Let’s do it one more time. If you can still get it right, I’ll believe you, and I’ll agree to your score.”
Xiang Que said, “Little Wen, aren’t you just being a rascal?”
Ran Mingyue, however, said, “Okay, one more round. If you lose, give me double the points.”
“Fine!” Wen Yingzhi got the consent of her teammates.
Jiang Qiaoye immediately came up with an idea: “Wenwen, I have a way! Sister Ran can recognize you because she’s so familiar with you and has a good relationship with you. We’ll find someone that Sister Ran doesn’t like.”
Ran Mingyue put on her blindfold again and started waiting. Jiang Qiaoye rushed to Li Guang, who was switching to a serious work mode, and directly put Li Guang in front of Ran Mingyue.
“It’s her!” Jiang Qiaoye said in a low voice. “I’m telling you, Sister Ran doesn’t seem to like our Security Guard 06, and she’s not a guest. How could Sister Ran recognize her?”
Wen Yingzhi almost shoved Jiang Qiaoye away: “Do you know you’re just giving them points!”
But Li Guang was already pulled up. There was only one chance, and they couldn’t switch people.
Wen Yingzhi muttered to herself about who she had offended, while grabbing a long, straight black wig from the prop rack.
She mouthed: “Li Guang, I’ll have to ask you to cooperate.”
Wen Yingzhi also made a gesture asking for more.
Li Guang understood what she meant and took off her hat.
After being pressed down by the hat for so long, Li Guang’s hair was thick and voluminous and didn’t fall flat at all. Her small, stray hairs quickly and stubbornly appeared in front of everyone. She took off her mask, but not her sunglasses, so the audience outside the camera couldn’t see her face.
Li Guang’s feature was her naturally curly hair. As long as she could cover that feature, she would be fine.
Ran Mingyue spoke: “Are you ready?”
Wen Yingzhi quickly put the wig over Li Guang’s hair.
Wang Rou said, “Okay, now you have to guess who is in front of you. According to the rules, you can only touch the other person once at the end.”
Li Guang’s height was similar to Wen Yingzhi’s and Song Suoqi’s. Plus the confusion from before and only being able to touch once, the difficulty really increased.
Xiang Que and Hua Yuzhi both became nervous, their eyes fixed on Ran Mingyue and Li Guang in the center of the room.
Ran Mingyue was motionless, as if frozen.
After a full five seconds, she took a step back and reached out her hand.
But she stopped in mid-air and did not touch Li Guang.
Then, she took a step forward, returning to her original position.
“I already know who it is,” Ran Mingyue said softly.
Li Guang’s heart rose to her throat. Her breathing tightened.
No way? I didn’t do anything. Sister Mingyue didn’t recognize her… If she loses, the first round will be a failure!
After a two-second pause, Ran Mingyue seemed to change her mind and reached out her hand again. Her hand clearly touched the straight, long hair, but it didn’t stop her.
Ran Mingyue’s fingertips gently pinched Li Guang’s cheek.
“Little curly cat,” Ran Mingyue’s tone was certain, with a hint of a smile. “You tried to trick me with her. Are you willing to admit defeat?”
When you’re familiar with someone, you know their scent and their silhouette. And their breathing.
—If you love them enough, you can too.
In her mind, she had traced Li Guang’s image so many times. How could she not know?
