Ye Yanshuang, startled by the voice from the earpiece, flinched, her slender shoulders jerking. She quickly shoved the chocolates into Yu Qianxia's hands, then hurriedly ran off, as if she were trying to leave in a flash.

Yu Qianxia held the box of chocolates, her confusion deepening.

First, she had challenged her, and now she was offering gifts to flatter her?

Ye Yanshuang was really strange.

Director Qian was probably still obsessed with the unfinished escape room from last time, as it had been left intact for a whole week without being dismantled. The first task for the restarted live broadcast was still the escape room in the underground parking garage.

Ji Minghan had a bit of a shadow over this place. He was so cautious now that he didn't dare to eat anything randomly. He almost ate a sea dog pill during the first episode, and in the last episode, he had ended up on the "spring medicine." Was he this unlucky?

He silently followed behind Yu Qianxia, feeling secure by her side. Si Churou, who shared the same thought, immediately grabbed Yu Qianxia's arm. "Let's go in together."

But once they entered, it was the same as last time—staff immediately separated them and locked them into small dark rooms.

Yu Qianxia was already familiar with the routine, starting to search for clues and solve puzzles in the escape room.

She had just opened a door when she bumped into Ye Yanshuang, who was walking in the opposite direction.

When Ye Yanshuang saw her, her previously calm expression shifted slightly. She turned, lifted her foot, and kicked the black wall roughly. With an annoyed tone, she complained, "What kind of place is this? There's nothing here! It's so dark! How are we supposed to do the tasks when we can't see anything?"

Yu Qianxia ignored her and continued searching the room. Ye Yanshuang, however, walked over and said rudely, "Hey, are you gonna do anything? Can you lead me out?"

"If your IQ is fine, you should be able to figure it out," Yu Qianxia replied, her tone flat.

Ye Yanshuang's face stiffened, and she stopped making herself look foolish. The atmosphere gradually calmed down, and the only sound in the quiet space was the soft rustling as Yu Qianxia searched the walls.

Meanwhile, online viewers were watching this scene unfold, and the bullet comments were flying by in rapid succession. They had a very poor impression of the new guest:

[What's the background of this new girl? Why is she so arrogant? I just want to go in there and smack her!]

[Heard she's a new artist from Xingmang Entertainment. Seems like she has some background, and Yan Zhirou is bringing her on the show to boost their popularity.]

[Wait, Yan Zhirou is gonna help her debut? So shameless!]

[Her personality is terrible, and her emotional intelligence is so low. Didn't she prepare before debuting? At least try to act a little better!]

[Really, really hate these capital-backed people! Just looking at her makes me mad!]

Yu Qianxia spent another ten minutes and managed to solve three more doors before meeting up with Si Churou.

At this point, Ye Yanshuang didn't say anything else and quietly followed behind them. Yu Qianxia solved another door.

Behind it was Yan Zhirou.

The four of them locked eyes, and Si Churou quietly rolled her eyes, inwardly cursing, Not this ghost again!

Yan Zhirou, as if none of the previous tension existed, smiled naturally and greeted them. "Qianxia, you're so fast, you've solved so many rooms already?"

Si Churou didn't want to bother with her, and Yu Qianxia wasn't interested in maintaining any superficial politeness either.

A cold breeze passed, leaving behind a heavy atmosphere of awkwardness.

Yan Zhirou bit her lip, suppressing her displeasure, and shifted her gaze to Ye Yanshuang.

Ye Yanshuang slowly emerged from the darkness, looking grim. She pouted, looking both annoyed and aggrieved.

"I've been standing here forever, when can we get out of here?"

Yan Zhirou comforted her, "Don't worry, it should be soon."

"My feet hurt so much, I want to wear the flats you're wearing." Ye Yanshuang suddenly made this request.

Yan Zhirou looked slightly stunned and hesitated, "The sizes might be different..."

"Take them off, I'll try them and see," Ye Yanshuang ordered.

Yan Zhirou pursed her lips, her expression becoming extremely conflicted, but she still compromised under Ye Yanshuang's urging.

Yan Zhirou took off her sneakers, and Ye Yanshuang threw her high heels at her.

The sneakers fit Ye Yanshuang perfectly. She patted Yan Zhirou's shoulder. "These are pretty good, I'll just wear them for now."

[Help! Ye Yanshuang is too much! Why is she wearing Yan Zhirou's shoes!]

[Why is she wearing high heels while doing a task? How can someone be so stupid and dramatic?]

[Is she bullying people just because of her background?]

[Yan Zhirou is so miserable, getting bullied by her own company's artist.]

Ye Yanshuang strutted around in Yan Zhirou's sneakers, looking smug.

The bullet comments flooded the screen with criticism, and many viewers expressed sympathy and fondness for Yan Zhirou.

Sympathy could turn into fortune.

Yan Zhirou saw the rise in her fortune points in the system, and a subtle smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.

It took the guests an hour and a half to finally emerge from the escape room.

Yu Qianxia and Si Churou were the first to walk out, and Director Qian handed them the ingredients for lunch—top-tier steaks.

The other guests followed, receiving their own ingredients.

When Ye Yanshuang saw the cabbage and tofu in her basket, her dissatisfied expression almost broke the screen.

As the guests started to make their way into the kitchen to cook, she slammed her basket onto the table to vent her frustration.

Ye Yanshuang poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and immediately spat it out. "What is this? Why does it taste so bad?"

Ji Minghan said, "Bad? This is the lemon tea I just brewed."

Ye Yanshuang sneered, "Do you even know how to make lemon tea? Did you put passion fruit in it? Honey? Nothing! How can you call this lemon tea?"

Ji Minghan: "..."

He didn't say much more, quickly running into the kitchen to join Yu Qianxia and Si Churou.

He lowered his voice, quietly complaining to the two, "This new girl is so hard to please."

Si Churou nodded in agreement, "No kidding."
