not in love

"Indeed, your performance is not bad."

The man shook his head with a smile, the brim of his hat covered most of his face, but Lin Xie and the male singer, who had not yet been named, could feel that they were being looked at by him.

"I, I didn't say I was going to the island."

The male singer hurriedly imitated Yu Zhijuan's appearance, trying to avoid being called out by men.

"Yes, Not Bad,"

The man was pleased with his low-lying appearance, moved his neck, and grinned in the direction of Lin Xie,

"What about you, Lin Xie? Do you want to leave the island now?"

"I'm more curious about what you plan to use to threaten me."

Lin Xie met the man's eyes and looked at him quietly.

Others have more or less resorted to scheming or scheming in order to get to where they are today, but Lin Xie was an accident.

He has luck, strength and background. When he first debuted, there were many competitors who bribed him. He was a resource guy who relied on Governor Lin for his position, but he had no choice but to cooperate. Later, everyone wanted him to get more resources. It is good to resist the increasingly serious phenomenon of bad money driving out good money in the entertainment industry.

"Ha ha,"

After a moment of silence, the man chuckled,

"You don't really think you have no flaws, do you?"

"Did you think you found it?"

Lin Xie raised his eyebrows, his expression was indifferent, and his tone was disdainful.

The man and Lin Xie faced each other silently. Although he couldn't see his expression clearly, the gloom that overflowed the screen was like a cold wind that penetrated into the bone marrow.

Yu Zhijuan moved forward two steps calmly, standing in front of Lin Xie.

"Don't piss him off... He has something against us!"

Song Tiqing was terrified, fearing that Lin Xie's provocation would anger the ghostly man on the screen, he quickly apologized to the screen and said,

"Not going to the island, no one said they were going to go to the island, they were joking."

"Then let me ask again, is there anyone who wants to give up recording and leave the island immediately?"

The man stared at Xu Ruqing and asked again, but the answer was silence.

Xu Ruqing lowered his eyes firmly, staying on the island would be frightening, but if this man leaks his secret, then there will be more than just fear waiting for him...

Yu Zhijuan observed Xu Ruqing's expression calmly. He didn't expect that Xu Ruqing's secret would be related to Chen Hao. It seems that the two of them definitely had more than one meal on the day Xu Ruqing visited Chen Hao at their home a few months ago. The meal is so easy.

He also guessed what the man was going to use to blackmail him, he just knew that he was not the real Yu Zhiyi.

"Okay, very good, since everyone has no opinions, today's game is here. Next is the time for free activities and free investigations. In addition, you don't have to worry, as long as you actively cooperate with the recording of the program and seriously participate in the game, The words I just said can be sealed on this island forever, and no one will know."

The video call was hung up with a beep, and the moment the man's image disappeared from the screen, everyone felt relieved.

"...Fucking this unlucky program group, it's a trap, a liar, a kidnapper!"

Song Tiqing breathed a sigh of relief, her legs softened, and she sat down on the sofa,

"I figured out why I recorded a show on this broken island, and no one can run away."

"How did they know... Isn't this a blatant blackmail threat?"

The female singer's face was pale. Back then, she was able to stand out at the singer conference by ruining her competitor's voice. If this matter were exposed, not only would her reputation be ruined, but she would definitely be cast aside by the entire industry.

"It doesn't matter how they know, if people don't know, unless they do nothing. How many people in this circle are clean? But Xu Ruqing, why did you suddenly go crazy and want to go to the island? If it weren't for you, would that man threaten us like this? "

Song Tiqing complained.

"You don't know what's on this island! In the afternoon...!"

Xu Ruqing was leaning against the corner of the wall with his head stuck, but when he heard Song Tiqing's questioning, he raised his head in surprise and embarrassment, and bit his lip suddenly as if he was taboo in the middle of speaking.

"It's a godsend, so who can show it to mysteries?"

Song Tiqing mocked him.

"What happened to you this afternoon?"

Yu Zhijuan realized that something extraordinary might have happened to him, otherwise, with Xu Ruqing's competitive spirit now, it would be impossible for him to sleep peacefully in the astrology room.

"nothing……"

Xu Ruqing lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly at other people, the light in front of him suddenly dimmed, and it was Yu Zhijuan standing in front of him.

"No one can leave the island today. You have to be honest and rely on us so you won't be left alone."

"Rely on you? None of you are willing to believe what I say!"

Xu Ruqing raised his eyes, and the moment he looked at Yu Zhijuan, he felt that he was being looked at from the inside to the outside. The penetrating gaze seemed to evaporate the disguise he used to cover up his cowardice, and let the deepest part of his heart Little selfishness and weakness become invisible.

"No one will believe unfounded guesses, but the facts you see with your own eyes are different."

Yu Zhijuan quietly put Xu Ruqing's shoulder on Xu Ruqing's shoulder, which looked like comfort to Xu Ruqing who was on the verge of collapse, but in fact he just wanted to hold Xu Ruqing down to prevent him from running away in agitation.

Probably because Xu Ruqing has been denied and questioned by everyone these days, and in the afternoon he suffered several ups and downs like a roller coaster, and Yu Zhijuan's action was actually figured out by him that there is a sense of true love in the world.

No wonder Chen Hao always boasted in the company that his wife was gentle and affectionate. Although Chen Hao meant that Yu Zhiyi was easy to deceive, at this moment Xu Ruqing had to admit that he really felt Yu Zhiyi's tenderness.

Like a beam of warm sunshine clean after snow, flowing softly in the smoky ruins.

Impressed by himself, Xu Ruqing hesitated for a long time before speaking slowly,

"I, I want to confirm one thing with Lin Xie..."

"You said."

Lin Xie stood not far away, staring at Yu Zhijuan's hand on his shoulder.

Xu Ruqing didn't know why Lin Xie looked at him like he was looking at a waste of trash, but Lin Xie's temper was always unpredictable, and he was used to it.

"After you saw Mi Chen's body this morning, did you take something to cover her?"

"Ah."

Lin Xie nodded affirmatively.

"Hands... Where are your hands? Cover your hands and feet too? You need to remember clearly..."

"I'm sure, it's all covered."

"...That's right, that's right,"

Xu Ruqing suddenly felt his hairs stand on end again, and the hand he glimpsed in Mi Chen's room this afternoon once again occupied his mind.

"This house is not clean...it's not clean here!! The corpse moves...the corpse moves by itself...I've seen it all..."

"what are you talking about?"

Song Tiqing frowned impatiently,

"You think this is a horror movie?"

"Speak slowly."

Yu Zhijuan's fingers pressing on Xu Ruqing's shoulders slightly increased the pressure, so that Xu Ruqing could get more sense of reality, so as to distinguish between memory and reality.

In the past, when Yu Zhijuan was helping Zhuge Yunbai's studio, he often encountered patients who were agitated and talking nonsense. He was quite experienced in dealing with such situations.

"Hand...when playing hide-and-seek in the afternoon, I want to hide in Mi...in her room,"

Xu Ruqing stammered, not even daring to say Mi Chen's name,

"As soon as I entered the door, I saw her hand hanging by the bed... But Lin Xie, you also said that she was covered and placed on the bed, right? Then why did the arm hang down?"

As soon as Xu Ruqing said this, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly became gloomy. The male singer and Song Tiqing stuck to each other because of fear. Lu Youyou also raised his hand to cover his mouth, biting his nails nervously.

"Are you sure you see clearly?"

"I'm sure...! I really saw it! It's still painted with nail polish... Doesn't she like to mess with this?"

After Xu Ruqing finished speaking, he put his palms together and bowed to the air twice,

"I didn't mean you were sorry, I didn't mean to disturb your cleanliness on purpose, don't blame me, don't blame me..."

Seeing Xu Ruqing's neurotic appearance that was close to collapse, Lin Xie calmly gave Yu Zhijuan a wink, Yu Zhijuan paused, and shook his head slightly.

Xu Ruqing's current fear was not staged.

"But didn't you yourself say that the corpse is just a very realistic prop?"

The female singer was courageous and willing to use her brains, so it was rare that Xu Ruqing's few words didn't get her into a gloomy atmosphere right now.

"Then go and see for yourself! You don't believe me when I tell you!"

Xu Ruqing squatted on the ground covering her ears.

"He's right,"

Yu Zhiwen thought about it,

"Whether it's true or not, you'll know it when you see it with your own eyes."

"I, I won't go!"

Song Tiqing slumped on the sofa,

"I've seen it once enough to have nightmares for half a year, so I won't go."

"It's enough for me to go with Teacher Yu."

Lin Xie raised his eyebrows. It was just because the others didn't want to. Ever since they found out that Mi Chen was poisoned to death, this group of people would stick to him wherever he went, hardly leaving him and Yu Zhijuan any chance to be alone.

"I want to go together too..."

Lu Youyou tremblingly followed behind Yu Zhijuan. Although she was afraid of seeing the corpse, she was even more afraid of staying in the empty living room with someone like Song Tiqing Xu Ruqing who was not only timid but also liked to scare herself.

"I'll go as well."

The female singer also stood up. She despised Song Tiqing and Xu Ruqing more and more. Compared to them, Yu Zhiyi, the rumored omega spoiled by Chen Hao, seemed more reliable.

"Don't leave me...don't leave me."

Xu Ruqing glanced at Song Tiqing and the male singer who stayed where they were, and decisively chose to support their weak legs and join the army. Seeing this, Song Tiqing and the male singer did not dare to stay alone. Finally, the seven returned to Mi Chen's 303 together. Room number door.

Lin Xie stood at the front and took the lead. Unlike in horror movies, he would not considerately leave time for others to cover their eyes or prepare mentally. He pushed open the door without even saying hello.

Xu Ruqing and Lu Youyou, who were the least courageous, shrank back and closed their eyes tightly. The female singer who was eager to find out the truth walked in with Lin Xieyu Zhijuan.

The black dead branches outside the window were blown like scorpion tails by the night wind, blocking the moonlight and casting dark shadows in the room.

Yu Zhijuan turned on the switch of the chandelier with a "snap", but to everyone's surprise, Mi Chen's bed was empty, only the snow-white blanket that Lin Xie covered her was left.

"Crack-"

Before they could react, the lights in the corridor and in the room went out at the same time, Xu Ruqing's scream pierced the sky, only to hear the loud noise from the radio hanging on the ceiling again:

"Now is the break time, all guests, please return to the room on time and get ready to sleep, I wish everyone a good night!"

"Guests, please go back to your room on time and get ready to go to bed. I wish everyone a good night!"

"... Good night, everyone."
