Chapter 198: Forming CP
After Yin Chengjue finished speaking, Rong Yu looked up. The two made eye contact, as if sparks were crackling and flying between them.
Rong Yu: "You think the three members of the escape route also can't be ruled out as suspects?"
Yin Chengjue: "Or rather, the three people on the escape route have the greatest suspicion."
Rong Yu: "You're looking for the suspect, so you're on the detective route?"
Yin Chengjue didn't avoid it at all: "Yes."
The others: ???
Seriously? You just directly exposed your detective identity like that, is that really okay?
"In my opinion, the detective route has always been the most prominent main line, so, there's no need to hide or conceal it," Yin Chengjue said directly.
Last time Yin Chengjue got the detective route, he also revealed his identity very quickly.
"But, who can prove you're not lying?" Wei Shu's face was full of disbelief.
A slight smile tugged at the corner of Yin Chengjue's mouth: "Right, so, even if I say I'm on the detective route, how many of you would actually choose to believe me?"
"I believe you!" Rong Yu looked at Yin Chengjue, his expression serious: "I'll believe whatever you say!"
Yin Chengjue: "Next time, I'll have Sally take you to audition for a drama that requires cross-dressing."
Rong Yu: "?"
Seeing Rong Yu's momentarily confused expression, Yin Chengjue couldn't hold back a laugh: "Didn't you say you'd believe whatever I say?"
Rong Yu: "...I didn't say I don't believe you. I'm just thinking, do you have an obsession with women's clothing, or do you think I'm not suitable in men's clothing?" As he spoke, Rong Yu widened his eyes, pouted, and put on an aggrieved expression: "In your eyes, has my men's attire become unworthy of me already?"
Yin Chengjue: ??? Is it really okay to talk about this here?
Yin Chengjue was stunned for a moment before realizing this was a variety show recording. Rong Yu was probably creating show effects, so he cleared his throat and played along: "How could that be? In my view, in the phrase 'you wearing women's clothing,' the focus isn't on the women's clothing, but on you!"
Having said that, Yin Chengjue took one of Rong Yu's hands in his and kissed the back of it.
The others: =口=!
"Juezi! So this is the reason you've been single for so many years?" Qin Ke was the first to exclaim.
Yin Chengjue shot him a glance: "No one here is deaf. You're yelling so loud, are you afraid no one knows how long I've been single?"
Qin Ke's eyes widened: "Do you need me to spread the news about you being single? Go check and ask yourself, which of your middle school or university alumni doesn't know you earned your single status through sheer capability?"
Yin Chengjue frowned: "Why would they know?"
Qin Ke: "Do you have some misunderstanding about your looks?"
Yin Chengjue: "Are you sure it wasn't you, the loudmouth, who spread it?"
Qin Ke: "I only contributed a very small part to the cause."
Yin Chengjue clenched his fist, cracked his neck, glanced at the nearest camera, and said calmly: "Cut the next ten minutes."
Ten minutes later, Yin Chengjue walked back to his original spot, took Rong Yu's hand again, and said to the camera: "Alright, let's continue."
The others: ...I bet a cucumber that Qin Linlin won't cut those ten minutes but will specially edit them into behind-the-scenes footage to post on Weibo...
Rong Yu blinked, raising his hand to Yin Chengjue's lips with an obedient expression: "Start again from this step?"
Yin Chengjue pretended to think for a moment before saying: "The director told me, since it's the final episode anyway, let's go big. Form as many CPs as possible, create a stir and then leave. Look, Hua Yun and Wei Shu already went straight to the 'ground press' earlier. For our pairing, just kissing the back of the hand seems a bit shabby, doesn't it?"
Wei Shu: "What? What did you say? That little girl secretly discussed this with you?"
Qin Ke laughed heartily: "That's definitely her style!"
Rong Yu was momentarily stunned, not expecting Yin Chengjue to suddenly say this, and looked somewhat bewildered: "Then how far should we go?"
Actually, Qin Linlin hadn't said these things; Yin Chengjue just suddenly remembered that Qin Linlin once said: the more open and aboveboard you are, the less interest people have in digging deeper; the more you cover up and hide, the more you attract people to investigate. Usually, when it comes to gossip, the best method is to take the path of the marketing accounts, leaving them with no path to take.
So, Yin Chengjue had a sudden idea: "How about we just go straight to the 'being kept' step? Someone's definitely going to spread rumors about it anyway."
Rong Yu immediately cooperated flawlessly... by taking a pen and paper from his pocket, swiftly signing his name on the bottom part of the white paper, then stuffing it into Yin Chengjue's jacket pocket, saying in a breezy tone: "Name your own price, I'll take care of you!"
"Hahaha! Perfect, perfect! Xiao Yu, you really didn't let me down. Don't worry, if this segment airs, I'll buy you a trending topic. The headline will be #Shocking! The Eldest Young Master of the Yin Group Actually Does This!#" Wei Shu clapped and laughed.
"Ugh! Your headline belongs on a different platform! Don't use that clickbait style from certain news apps here on Weibo. You'll hook people and then force them to download an app first, and by the time it's done, they've forgotten why they even started. Trending topics on Weibo need to be simple and direct. Let me show you—just use the three-word hashtag #RongYuKept. People will definitely grab their popcorn and pull up a chair to watch." Lei Miao spoke up.
Yin Chengjue: "How many have you 'watched' to have so much experience?"
Lei Miao thought for a moment: "Not too many, I suppose. Basically, any headlines like that, I've clicked on them to see. Then I tell my dad, 'Look, young masters who keep celebrities like this are the real "profligate heirs." Someone like me, who just scrolls through Weibo, watches dramas, and plays games, is, at most, a homebody."
As soon as his words fell, a static noise suddenly came from the room's speaker, followed by Qin Linlin's voice: "First warning. Please take the game seriously and do not waste time."
At the same moment, a loud "BANG!" echoed from outside the door. Immediately afterward, a thick cloud of powdery dust began to fall from the ceiling with a puff puff sound.
"Whoa! What's going on!" Wei Shu, who got a noseful of dust, immediately jumped up.
"The game has a time limit? You didn't tell us that before!" Qin Ke hurriedly patted the dust off his head and clothes.
"No, actually, there was a hint." Hua Yun said: "Didn't the story background say? This underground lab is going to be demolished, which is why Dr. Fu asked us to come quickly to retrieve things."
Wei Shu: "But the demolition time hasn't arrived yet! There are still three days before dismantling!"
Hua Yun: "So, guess how many days have passed now?"
Wei Shu: "Do you think I'm a three-year-old? From the start of recording until now, it's been at most three hours. My stomach tells me that! It demands from me every three hours!"
Hua Yun: "...So you think with your stomach?"
Wei Shu: "...I hereby announce, the Wei-Hua CP is officially BE. Those who shipped this pair, your ship has sunk! He sank it! Drove an excavator to sink it overnight!"
Hua Yun: "...So, can the Hua-Wei CP officially announce now?"
Wei Shu: "..." Expletive!
"Um... Young Master Hua's meaning is probably that we can't measure the game's time with our normal time. Because we can't really film for three days, the filming time for the variety show is definitely compressed. That is to say, although only three hours have passed, three days might have already passed in this storyline." Xiao Xiao couldn't help but interrupt: "Also, while you all were neglecting your duties, I've already unlocked the passwords for these three boxes. Even if you want to win by doing nothing, at least give me a camera angle. You damn long-legged people are perfectly blocking all the cameras facing me!"
Liu Qingling and Yang Ji quickly moved aside. Only then could Xiao Xiao turn his gaze to them, his previously disdainful expression instantly softening: "Ah, you two teachers, I wasn't talking about you. You can continue standing in your original spots, it's fine!"
"Hahaha, no need to be so polite~"
"Yeah, yeah."
After a pause, the two suddenly realized something and fell silent in unison.
It's fine if we don't move aside... does that mean we don't deserve the term "long-legged"?
Why do his words sound so polite, yet we feel the damage is particularly great?
Fortunately, with Xiao Xiao's reminder, everyone realized the urgency of time. They quickly opened the boxes and respectively retrieved a key, a door access card, and a water gun?
Wei Shu: "What does this water gun mean?"
Rong Yu: "There are words on it: Truth Water Gun."
Lei Miao: "There are words on the access card too! Exit Access Card!"
Xiao Xiao: "There's a note stuck to the key, it says: Treasure Chest Key."
So, these are the important items for the detective route, escape route, and treasure hunting route!
"That's it? Three items directly placed in three side-by-side boxes? It's that simple?" Yang Ji found it strange. After doing so many episodes of "Don't Look Back in the Dark," this was a first.
"No, it's not simple. The test has arrived." Yin Chengjue's gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one as he slowly said: "Because the problem now is, who do we give these three things to? Let me be clear, within our three mission routes, there are moles. If an important item ends up in a mole's hands, then that mission route will miss out on victory."
Yang Ji held his head and wailed: "It's the final episode! Do you have to strain my brain cells like this? The production team has no heart!"
Liu Qingling patted Yang Ji's shoulder: "That's a bit exaggerated."
Yang Ji slapped Liu Qingling's hand away, pressed his own microphone with one hand, and whispered: "What do you know? If I exaggerate my actions a bit, they can be edited into the preview! Guaranteed to catch attention!"
Liu Qingling: "You know to cover your own mic, so why are you whispering right next to my mic?"
Yang Ji immediately turned to face the nearest camera, his expression serious: "I also announce, the Yang-Liu CP is officially BE. Disband the super-topics and fanfic sections! Remember, the one who sank your ship wasn't me, it was him!"
Liu Qingling coughed lightly: "Although I also want to declare domineeringly: the Liu-Yang CP is officially announced, my wife prefers to ship Yang-Liu, and I remember my younger brother's wife ships this pairing too, so we..."
