The Security Guard Who Won the Heart of the Unattainable Actress - Chapter 24.2

Chapter 24.2

Staff: “Uh?”

Teammate: “Tragic… just tragic.”

Ran Mingyue: “???”

And Li Guang, who just happened to be at the front, got water on her shoes.

Jiang Qiaoye looked bewildered. He didn’t even want to know what had just happened. After he reacted, his face turned bright red, but he still tried his best to maintain his cool image, until Li Guang handed him a tissue.

“Wipe yourself,” Li Guang said, looking at Jiang Qiaoye pitifully. “Jiang Qiaoye, wipe it.”

Jiang Qiaoye: “Director, can you please tell me that at that exact moment, the production team’s cameras and broadcast interfaces all broke? Please, please, please.”

Wang Rou said, “I’m sorry to tell you, but they didn’t.”

Jiang Qiaoye: “…”

“Can my apology comfort you now?” Ran Mingyue knew that you shouldn’t hit someone in the face. Although she was still a little dizzy, she was much better off than Jiang Qiaoye.

The cause was that he shouldn’t have drunk that water, Ran Mingyue guessed.

Xiang Que didn’t mean any harm, but Jiang Qiaoye drank it too fast, giving no one a chance to stop him.

Jiang Qiaoye was no longer dizzy. The churning in his stomach had also ended because it had all come out.

“Never mind, Sister Ran, it’s okay. My face has already been completely embarrassed in front of the fans anyway,” Jiang Qiaoye said, clutching the wet tissue in his hand. “That 06, her shoes seem to be dirty because of me too. How did she just happen to be there? She even helped me up.”

Ran Mingyue looked over, and her heart warmed. She felt she could guess why Li Guang had come.

Li Guang had already returned to the third row.

The comments were all dying of laughter at Jiang Qiaoye. They even thought he had made a special arrangement with Ran Mingyue to create a comedic effect.

After Jiang Qiaoye explained everything, he and Ran Mingyue stood in their positions again. He decided he was going to get his revenge. Jiang Qiaoye had already figured out that Ran Mingyue was not very good at this game. His first two rounds were just an anomaly. Since Team Ran hadn’t scored before, he had to score this time!

Ran Mingyue was indeed not very good at this game. She spun slower than Jiang Qiaoye.

After the water spraying incident, Jiang Qiaoye’s physical condition was good. Before Ran Mingyue could even react, he had already high-fived and scored, successfully winning this round.

“This time, Team Wen won and got two points. The two teams are not far apart, but we need to especially thank our Teacher Jiang Qiaoye for adding so much drama to our show. Whether you win or not depends on your third round,” Wang Rou said.

Jiang Qiaoye: “Can we not bring up my embarrassing moment?!”

The third game was a full-team lie detector.

“A lie detector, haha, is it the segment I’m thinking of?”

“It’s basically similar to the heart rate game. Speaking of which, it’s more fun when people who know each other play this game, because they can be more open.”

“That’s a shame. Only Ran Mingyue and Wen Yingzhi are familiar with each other on the field. Teacher Ran is known for not having much to reveal.”

“Exactly. They’re not familiar with each other, and there are differences in their status, so they probably won’t dare to ask those ridiculous questions.”

“But the thought of them playing the lie detector together still feels exciting, hahahaha. After all, there’s a rumored couple on the field.”

The staff had already brought up the lie detector. It was a six-person lie detector. Everyone put one finger into the machine.

“After we turn on the power, Team Ran and Team Wen can ask each other questions. Please answer truthfully. If you lie, the lie detector will punish you with an electric shock within the human-tolerable range, but we still hope no one gets punished. In this round, you will take turns asking questions. As long as the other person gets punished, you get one point. The first to get three points wins.”

“The game begins.”

“Me!” Jiang Qiaoye said. “With all due respect, Brother Que, is it true that you’re secretly married, as the internet says?”

Xiang Que: “No.”

“Beep—He’s lying! He’s lying!”

The lie detector beeped.

“Is this lie detector broken?” Xiang Que’s expression was normal when he spoke. He didn’t look like he was getting electrocuted. “It’s beeping, but it’s not shocking me.”

“The lie detector is just a game prop, but since it has already beeped, it still counts as a point,” Wang Rou said. “Team Wen gets one point. The game continues.”

“Vocal, I take back what I just said. Brother Ye is so brave to ask that!”

“That’s so exciting hahahahaha. I bet that’s a question many fans want to ask but don’t dare to.”

“Qiqi’s expression of watching the drama is exactly how I look right now. But wake up, that’s your teammate!”

“What does that mean? Is he really married or not?”

Song Suoqi got her chance: “Teacher Wen, how many girlfriends have you had?”

Wen Yingzhi: “Two.”

“Beep—She’s lying!”

The lie detector beeped. Wen Yingzhi immediately pulled her index finger back. Her expression was a painful mix of emotions. “It’s really just two! Director, is this lie detector really broken? Ow, my hand, it’s killing me…”

Wang Rou said, “Team Ran gets a point. The game continues.”

“You! Fine, don’t blame me for being rude!” Wen Yingzhi was anxious when she heard that. “I want to ask Mingyue if she has a crush on anyone now!”

Ran Mingyue said, “No.”

“Beep—Lying, lying!”

The next second, Ran Mingyue’s hand was shocked. She quickly pulled it out. She almost said a curse word in her heart. This lie detector was not broken at all!

Then just now…

The shock was quite painful. Xiang Que lied, Wen Yingzhi lied, and she also lied. Wait, is Xiang Que really secretly married?

Ran Mingyue heard Wang Rou say that Wen Yingzhi got another point. When the camera floated over, Ran Mingyue calmed down and said, “The lie detector seems to be inaccurate.”

“Is it really inaccurate?” Li Guang said into her earpiece. “Brother Ma, is the lie detector inaccurate? Do you want Sister Wang to take it back and recalibrate it?”

“No, it’s fine. It’s not inaccurate. These guests are definitely just creating a show effect,” Chai Ning said on the side. “Are you heartbroken that Teacher Ran got shocked? It’s okay. You have to put aside your fan mentality for now. Get ready. Brother Gua said there’s going to be a sudden situation in three minutes.”

A sudden situation in the production team meant that the guests had triggered the NPC hunt mode. Their earpieces had a reminder, but it didn’t say what the trigger condition was.

The third round began.

“Ask Sister Ran! Keep asking Sister Ran,” Jiang Qiaoye reminded Hua Yuzhi. He whispered to Hua Yuzhi, “Just ask if Sister Ran has someone she dislikes here. Didn’t you and I see that before? She doesn’t seem to be fond of her accompanying security guard.”

Hua Yuzhi: “What if it doesn’t beep?”

Jiang Qiaoye: “It’s simple. You just ask the question quickly. Don’t give them a chance to ask. The production team didn’t say you can’t ask forcefully. Just ask Sister Ran directly if there’s someone she has a crush on here.”

“With a question like that, no matter how she answers, her emotions will fluctuate. As long as there’s a slight fluctuation, she’ll get shocked.”

The game started. Hua Yuzhi asked directly, “Teacher Ran. Is there someone you hate here?”

Ran Mingyue: “No.”

This time, the lie detector didn’t beep.

Ran Mingyue was about to speak when Hua Yuzhi asked again, “Then is there someone you have a crush on here! Please answer truthfully!”

Ran Mingyue’s gaze paused. If she really couldn’t lie—

Her lips parted. In the moment she answered, the microphone didn’t pick it up. Only the camera showed that the lie detector lit up.

“Bang!” All the people’s attention was diverted. No one was still paying attention to the lie detector. Ran Mingyue’s voice was swallowed up.

A group of people wearing pineapple props rushed in with pineapple-thorned knives, dispelling all the relaxed atmosphere.

The phrase that the production team always emphasized: Remember, the premise of completing the game is that you are still alive to complete it.

“Run!”

They didn’t care anymore. All the guests, including Ran Mingyue, ran away in a panic toward the side of the courtyard, stimulated by the pineapple people.

Wang Rou announced with a megaphone, “A quick question triggered the NPC hunt mode. It will last for half an hour. I wish you all good luck!”

Hua Yuzhi screamed as she ran, “Ahhhhhh, production team, what did you do to trigger the NPC with that! Everyone, I’m so sorry!!!”

The accompanying security guards ran in the direction of the guests. The other colleagues quickly identified the direction and followed. But when Li Guang went out, she didn’t catch up to Ran Mingyue in time.

It was the staff member in her earpiece who told her the location. Only then did Li Guang know that Ran Mingyue had gone toward the edge of Zone B.

That’s the place!

A flash of inspiration went through Li Guang’s mind. When she accompanied Ran Mingyue to change clothes in the morning, she saw that place that looked like a cardboard house.

Li Guang ran toward it at top speed. Screams rose and fell in her ears. Especially Jiang Qiaoye. He had already run toward Zone C, and his voice was still coming over. Unfortunately, the person who yelled the loudest would attract the attention of the pineapple people. On the other hand, only two or three NPCs came over to Li Guang’s shortcut. Li Guang avoided them.

When she ran to the edge of the pile of abandoned cardboard boxes, she saw footprints.

Li Guang stopped and approached quietly. There was someone inside, but Li Guang wasn’t sure if it was Ran Mingyue.

After spending time with these guests, she found that Ran Mingyue and Xiang Que were both careful. This small house made of cardboard boxes looked rickety and could at most fit two adults standing up. It was just an outer cardboard box of a double-door refrigerator that had been modified.

There was an extra piece of paper on the outside that read:

Purpose: [Shelter] Condition: Entering can block NPCs. If it collapses due to an irresistible force, it cannot be used a second time.

At this moment, the shelter was teetering in the light rain.

“Crash!”

Before Li Guang could get close to the cardboard house, she was discovered by a pineapple person.

Li Guang wasn’t sure if Ran Mingyue was inside. She didn’t want to attract the pineapple person. She hadn’t had time to look inside through the small hole cut in the cardboard box. She had just turned around and was about to run somewhere else.

The door of the cardboard house opened.

Someone from behind directly put their arm around her shoulder, pulling the unsuspecting Li Guang into their arms.

Who is it!

Li Guang subconsciously wanted to do an over-the-shoulder throw, but the pineapple person in front of her was already close!

The next second, that person pulled Li Guang into the cardboard house. An irresistible force pressed Li Guang against the thin cardboard wall. To prevent Li Guang from shouting, the person in front of her had no choice but to gently cover Li Guang’s lips with their hand.

Only a faint line of light came through the hole. Li Guang saw Ran Mingyue’s eyes.

Her peach blossom eyes, with their upturned corners, looked strangely seductive and moving in this dim light, making Li Guang’s ears feel hot.

“It’s me,” Ran Mingyue said. She was practically pressed against Li Guang. This place was only so big. One person could stand and turn around, but two people could only stand like this.

Li Guang breathed a soft sigh: “Sister Mingyue, you scared me to death…”

There were already two pineapple people outside. Their knives were clanging on the ground, as if they were going to break in at any moment. A sense of danger enveloped this small space.

Even Li Guang couldn’t handle this situation. Her heart was pounding.

In this cramped dark room, Li Guang couldn’t move.

“This is a good place, Li Guang,” Ran Mingyue said. “…Don’t move. I want to tell you something.”

“What? It doesn’t look like there are any cameras here. Wait, I’ll switch mine on.” When Li Guang tried to turn on her camera, her finger was pinched by Ran Mingyue.

“Don’t turn it on,” Ran Mingyue said, lowering her head. Her voice was only audible in Li Guang’s ear.

The next second, Ran Mingyue turned off her microphone.

“Sister Mingyue, what are you…”

Even in that tiny bit of light, Li Guang could clearly see Ran Mingyue’s eyes. They were astonishingly bright. When they landed on her, she even felt a burning sensation.

“Last time, in that small room, I kissed you.”

“What?” Li Guang’s mind went blank for a second. “What… what did you say?… A kiss? What… what kind of kiss?”

Ran Mingyue looked at Li Guang, watching her with a focused and restrained gaze. Her eyes shifted from Li Guang’s lips to her nose, and then uncontrollably returned to her lips when Li Guang asked what kind of kiss it was.

So close.

Ran Mingyue turned her impulse into action. She was already whispering in Li Guang’s ear. She leaned in slightly and kissed the corner of Li Guang’s lips.

She said, “This kind.”

Li Guang’s breathing stopped the moment Ran Mingyue leaned in. She didn’t dodge. She didn’t close her eyes. She blinked several times quickly, feeling her whole body stiffen.

Her lips were still slightly parted: “Sister Mingyue… you, you don’t have to show me.”

“It’s not a demonstration, Li Guang. I’m sorry, kissing you last time was an accident.”

The danger outside continued, but the intimacy and ambiguity between them kept fermenting with the touch of their breaths. Ran Mingyue lowered her eyes. In such a small space, her heart seemed to be pressing against Li Guang’s.

She looked at Li Guang’s soft and slightly parted lips, and her voice was clear: “But this time, it was on purpose.”
