Ye Wuyou came back to his senses, looked at Ning Xi's expectant eyes, and agreed without hesitation: "Okay, as long as you like it."

The two arrived at the escape room venue and were warmly received by the front desk staff.

Ning Xi asked curiously: "Hello, we want to play an escape room game, what are the themes?"

The staff introduced with a smile.

"We have the horror-themed 'Midnight Horror', the adventure-themed 'Lost Tomb', and the mystery-themed 'Misty Manor', all with different levels of difficulty and style."

Ye Wuyou looked at Ning Xi, who thought for a moment and said, "Let's try the 'Lost Tomb', it seems very mysterious."

The staff nodded and said, "This theme is very popular, but it's quite difficult. Are you sure?" Ye Wuyou said, "It doesn't matter. Let's go with this one."

The staff member continued, "Okay, both of you. The ticket price for this theme is 150 yuan per person. If you can pass the level within the specified time, you can also get a small exquisite gift from our museum."

Ning Xi's eyes lit up: "Wow, there are gifts, then we must work harder!"

As he said this, he prepared to pay.

Ye Wuyou took out his phone first to scan the code and pay. Ning Xi said a little embarrassedly: "How can I let you pay all the time?"

Ye Wuyou smiled and said, "All of this is what I should do when I come out with you."

After paying, the staff gave each of them a wristband and said, “This is an entry bracelet. It has some simple reminder functions and can also be used to record your game time.

Please follow me over here, I will briefly introduce the rules and precautions of the game to you."

After a detailed explanation from the staff, the two came to the entrance to the secret room of the "Lost Tomb".

After entering the secret room, they found that the puzzle inside was much more complicated than they had imagined.

At first, Ning Xi was looking for clues everywhere with great interest, but before long, she was stumped by a complicated mechanism.

She frowned anxiously, Ye Wuyou patted her shoulder gently and comforted her: "Don't panic, let's think about it carefully together."

Ye Wuyou paced calmly in the room and observed. Suddenly, he found that there seemed to be something behind a painting on the wall.

He carefully removed the painting, and a hidden combination lock appeared before his eyes.

However, there were some strange symbols engraved on the combination lock, and there was no clue at all.

Ning Xi was trying hard to recall some clues she had seen at the entrance to the secret room, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

"I seem to remember that there are similar symbols on the map at the door. Could it be related to this?"

Based on Ning Xi's hint and his understanding of the patterns around the combination lock, Ye Wuyou began to try various combinations.

After several failures, I finally heard the combination lock open with a "click".

There were strange lights flickering in the passage behind the door, as if waiting for them to continue exploring.

Ning Xi excitedly walked into the passage first, but almost tripped over a hidden ditch on the ground. Ye Wuyou was quick-witted and grabbed her arm, pulling her steadily into his arms.

Ning Xi fell forward due to inertia, her face almost touching Ye Wuyou's face, their eyes met.

Their breaths intertwined gently, and the warm air filled the small space. Their lips were so close that it seemed as if they would touch each other in the next second.

Ye Wuyou's Adam's apple rolled slightly, Ning Xi's face turned red instantly, and her heart was beating wildly like a deer.

"Be careful." He said softly, with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice.

Ning Xi leaned in his arms, "Thank you, I was so rash."

They walked carefully along the passage and came to a room full of old books and strange instruments.

Ning Xi picked up a dusty book out of curiosity. As soon as she opened it, a slight sound of a mechanism turning was heard, and a stone table slowly rose from the ground in the middle of the room. On the table was a complicated puzzle box.

Ning Xi studied the puzzle box carefully and found that each piece of the puzzle was engraved with different symbols and patterns.

She tried to put the pieces together but had no clue.

Ye Wuyou looked around the room for other clues and found an ancient mural in a corner.

The mural depicts figures surrounding a similar box, apparently performing some kind of ritual.

Ye Wuyou carefully observed the gestures and expressions of the characters in the mural. Suddenly, an idea came to him and he said to Ning Xi, "Try to arrange the puzzle pieces in the order of the gestures of the characters in the mural."

Ning Xi did as he said, and sure enough, the puzzle box gradually responded. When the last piece of the puzzle was put into place, the box opened automatically, revealing a key emitting a faint glow.

Ning Xi picked up the key and said excitedly, "This should be the key item to the final level."

Ye Wuyou nodded slightly, with a faint smile on his face, "Well, we are not far from success."

They continued to move around in the secret room, and with their increasingly tacit cooperation, they successfully cracked several ingeniously designed mechanisms.

In a passage filled with infrared sensing lights, Ye Wuyou gently put his arm around Ning Xi's waist and led her to avoid the dangerous lights with an extremely elegant posture.

Ning Xi felt the warmth from his strong arms, her heart full of trust and dependence.

Finally, they arrived at the exit door of the secret room.

There is a special keyhole in the door.

Ning Xi inserted the key that was emitting a faint glow into it and turned it gently. With a "creak", the door slowly opened.

The staff outside had been waiting for a long time. When they saw them walk out successfully, they showed approving smiles on their faces.

"Congratulations on your successful clearance. This is a beautiful gift for you."

As he spoke, he handed over a pair of customized couple bracelets, which were inlaid with delicate star patterns and sparkled charmingly under the light.

Ning Xi took the bracelet shyly, and Ye Wuyou looked at her gently, "It suits you very well."

Ning Xi blushed as she handed the bracelet to Ye Wuyou, "Can you help me put it on?"

Ye Wuyou gently picked up the bracelet and put it on Ning Xi carefully.

At this moment, a girl not far away saw the intimacy between the two and unconsciously clenched the milk tea in her hand, her eyes full of unwillingness.

This girl was a patient that Ye Wuyou had seen before.

She had always believed that she and Ye Wuyou were the most suitable couple, so she had been hinting at her feelings during this period of time, but he didn't seem to notice...

Now seeing Ning Xi and Ye Wuyou interacting so sweetly, she felt very uncomfortable.

She gritted her teeth and walked straight towards Ye Wuyou and Ning Xi.

"Doctor Ye, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."

The girl greeted him warmly, but her eyes were always looking at Ning Xi with a hint of hostility.

Ye Wuyou frowned slightly and responded politely: "Well, it's quite a coincidence."
