I’ve Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show

Chen Xixi moved back to her original position, tilted her head closer to Zhou Jinyuan, and asked softly, "Did the brooch I gave you last time have any letters on it?"
Zhou Jinyuan said, "No."
Chen Xixi uttered an "Oh", it seemed that the brooch exchanged with points was just a keepsake, or a small gift between couples, not the same as the ones used for tasks.
Zhou Jinyuan turned his head to look at Chen Xixi, "You would look for my brooch, right?"
Chen Xixi smiled slightly: "Of course."
If Zhou Jinyuan left, he would take away half of her family assets, and she was no fool.
He can take her feelings, but not the hard-earned family assets!
Zhou Jinyuan slowly curved his lips, quite satisfied with Chen Xixi’s response.
[Ahhh! Chen Xixi said she would still choose President Zhou, they seem to be getting along better and better!]
[How do I feel like they have started dating already?]
[Please, just lock it down already!]
[Are you guys crazy about shipping them? With President Zhou’s family’s status and Chen Xixi’s, how could they possibly be together?]
[I don’t care! As long as they don’t clarify, I’m going to ship them hard!]
[Change partners? It feels like Zheng He and Hu Yun are definitely the hot commodities here now!]
Now that Zheng He and Hu Yun each have so many assets, naturally, they are the targets that everyone wants to snatch.
Qian Yue explained the rules clearly and then took the guests to the haunted house.
Five male guests entered from the entrance and five female guests from the exit.
After entering the haunted house, Hu Yun quickly went to look for Zhou Jinyuan’s brooch.
Han Qianyi watched Hu Yun urgently brushing them off, and couldn’t help but whisper to Chen Xixi, "She’s definitely going to look for Zheng He’s brooch."
Chen Xixi pursed her lips: "Not necessarily."
She felt that Hu Yun might look for Zhou Jinyuan’s brooch.
After all, the coquettish glances she threw at Zhou Jinyuan last time they came over for a bath almost overwhelmed her as a woman.
She didn’t even realize that Hu Yun had such a charming side.
Han Qianyi looked up at the pitch-dark surroundings and the occasional scary noises, and grabbed Chen Xixi’s arm, confused, she asked, "What do you mean?"
Chen Xixi didn’t answer but asked instead, "Who do you want to team up with? Still with Wan Chen?"
"I..." Han Qianyi leaned close to Chen Xixi’s ear and whispered softly, "I want to be with..."
...
Half an hour later.
On the male guests’ side.
The screams in the live broadcast just never stopped.
[The scariest thing in this haunted house isn’t the NPC, but Zheng He, who’s screaming at every little thing, scaring the hell out of me.]
[Hahaha representative of the haunted house atmosphere group.]
[Why is Zheng He such a scaredy-cat?]
[He’s practically clinging to Xu Mu...]
Xu Mu irritably covered his ears, his clothes deformed from being pulled by Zheng He, frowned and said, "Can you let go of me? A grown man, can you not be such a coward!"
Zheng He clung tightly to Xu Mu’s clothes, justified and adamant, "I’m not a coward! I am scared for you!"
Xu Mu stopped, looked at Zheng He, and impatiently said, "I’m not scared, let go of me now."
This was really interfering with his search for the brooch.
But Zheng He had a thick skin and was completely unmoved.
Not until Xu Mu’s expression gradually darkened, did he rub his wrist and threaten ominously, "If you don’t let go, I’ll have to loosen your skin."
"..." Zheng He quickly let go, chiding, "What a violent child you are! In a civilized society, it’s wrongdoing to hit someone, you know?"
[Holy cow! What did I just hear! Zheng He is actually advising Xu Mu not to hit people! Is this the same Zheng He that skates on the edge of the law?]
As soon as Zheng He let go, a female ghost suddenly burst out at his side, he screamed uncontrollably and reached out to hug another person.
But just as he was about to strike, a foot suddenly kicked his knee, sending him tumbling to the ground.
Zhou Jinyuan withdrew his leg, looking at Zheng He who was sobbing and wailing on the ground, and spoke unhurriedly: "I thought you were not human."
Not human?
Even the ghosts in a haunted house are played by humans.
Was Zhou Jinyuan subtly poking at him?
The next second, Zhou Jinyuan continued: "Upon closer look, indeed you’re not."
Zheng He: "!!!"
It’s not a subtle poke, he’s outright insulting!
Zhou Jinyuan finished speaking and walked away.
Zheng He saw that everyone around him left, leaving him alone with the ’female ghost’. Panicking, he shouted: "Hey! Don’t go! Don’t leave me all by myself!"
As expected, no one responded. Only the ’female ghost’ with her messy, cascading hair, her face concealed, was diligently (scaring) accompanying (intimidating) him.
The ’female ghost’ got closer and closer to Zheng He, "Why do you want to harm me... give me back my life..."
The mournful sobbing, combined with the eerie and terrifying background music of the haunted house, made Zheng He’s scalp tingle and sweat pour down.
He lay on the ground, not daring to get up, eyes shut tight, nearly crying from fear.
He was terribly afraid of ghosts, even if they were just played by humans!
Tonight his room would definitely be lively!
This damn game on the show must be deliberately targeting him!
It looks like finding the brooch is impossible now; with his current state, he could only wait for Hu Yun to find the brooch and come to him.
He wanted to go home, he missed his mom sob sob sob...
The ’female ghost’ lifted her black hair that was veiling her front, revealing a fair and pretty face, as she looked at Zheng He sprawled on the ground in a pathetic heap, she sneered mockingly, and said in her normal voice: "Just this?"
Zheng He: "?"
Why does this voice sound so familiar?
Looking up... it was Chen Xixi!
[Ha ha ha! Hilarious! Chen Xixi is definitely taking personal revenge haha!]
[Chen Xixi scares Zheng He, President Zhou gives Zheng He a kick, wow, they must have prearranged this, intentionally targeting Zheng He!]
Zheng He gritted his teeth, immediately stood up, dusted off his clothes, and exclaimed angrily: "Are you okay!"
"There is a problem." Chen Xixi smiled slightly, then clapped her hands three times.
Zheng He then saw two women walking out of the artificial rock tunnel crafted behind Chen Xixi.
The two women walked straight toward him with unfriendly looks; Zheng He felt doomed, these three women might harm him!
He was about to run, but Chen Xixi was quick, swiftly grabbing Zheng He. Han Qianyi and Qin Wei quickly rushed over, each holding down Zheng He’s shoulders and arms, preventing him from running.
Zheng He, leaning against the fake rocks, struggled: "What are you going to do! We are in a society ruled by law now! I will not cooperate with any actions of yours!"
Han Qianyi smiled with a hint of evil: "Go ahead and scream, it won’t help at all."
Zheng He felt this definitely wasn’t the kind Han Qianyi he knew before!
Indeed, bad company corrupts good character! By getting close to Chen Xixi, Han Qianyi’s demeanor has changed!
He shouted helplessly: "Police, save me!!"
Then he saw Han Qianyi handing Chen Xixi a brooch, "Help me put this on him."
Zheng He exclaimed in terror: "I disagree! I won’t join your group! I’m telling you, this is against a man’s will! I will sue you!"
Chen Xixi, seeing Zheng He not cooperating and moving around, held the brooch at his chest, measuring back and forth, her tone indifferent: "My hands tend to shake, if you keep moving and I stab the wrong spot... it won’t hurt me."
She frowned slightly, looking concerned for Zheng He, which instantly made him sweat even more!
Such a malicious woman!
Zheng He didn’t dare to move anymore; he closed his eyes in humiliation and shouted with all his remaining defiance: "I disagree! This is coercion! The show crew won’t allow this!"
Han Qianyi spoke cheerfully: "The show crew didn’t say forced love is not allowed, just that putting on the brooch means we are a team now."
[Ha ha ha, hilarious! First time seeing a real-life version of a man being forced into love!]
[As expected of someone who reads a lot of novels, these words are well understood by Han Qianyi haha haha!]
