"Not going back to ancient tis, just grab sothing to eat for lunch, there’s another dinner gathering in the afternoon."
Just as I was thinking that, the phone started buzzing with incoming ssages.
Su ngng: Is everyone free? Let’s play so role-playing gas this afternoon! @everyone
Tong Muxuan: I’m up for it!
Luo Yun: I can do it too ^o^
Lu Zheng was planning to practice the Cold Condensation Curse in the afternoon, so he was getting ready to casually decline.
Lin Wan: Xiumin and I are free, join us, Lu Zheng? We can leave together after playing. @Lu Zheng
On the other side, Xiumin, who was sharing an apartnt with Lin Wan, pinched the side of Lin Wan’s bowl, making her fingers bounce. "If you want to et that guy, go alone, why drag along? I wanted to binge-watch dramas at ho."
"Watch them when we get back tonight. Such a beautiful day, we should go out and have fun. I’ll take you with to dinner, Captain Li is quite the eligible bachelor, put in so effort and snag him!"
"Tch, I’m not interested in straightforward guys."
Bringing the focus back, seeing that all five people were going, Lu Zheng didn’t want to dampen the mood. Anyway, he had plenty of ti and didn’t mind spending the afternoon this way.
Lu Zheng: Alright, where shall we et?
Su ngng: Still at Fulong Plaza, let’s et at eleven thirty, shall we grab lunch together?
Everyone responded with an OK, and that was that.
Lu Zheng put the suitcase filled with ’craft goods’ neatly against the wall and, having so free ti, skimd through "Cold Condensation Curse" to get a rough understanding.
...
Eleven thirty at noon.
Unlike last ti, when Lu Zheng arrived, he saw Tong Muxuan and Su ngng sitting at the outdoor table of a café, sharing a cup of coffee.
One sip for you, one sip for !
Lu Zheng twitched the corners of his mouth and said in unison with another girl beside him, "Such a lovey-dovey pair!"
Lu Zheng turned around and saw it was Luo Yun.
"Didn’t you two arrange to co together?"
"Nope." Luo Yun sighed, "ngng’s even learning to stay out all night now."
Lu Zheng scratched his nose, feeling a bit itchy.
"Everyone’s here, right on ti."
On the street, a taxi pulled up and Lin Wan got out with Huang Xiumin.
Tong Muxuan saw the four of them as well, so he pulled Su ngng to her feet, and they ca over together.
"What are we eating for lunch?"
"Whichever place is less crowded."
"Makes sense!"
So the group found a relatively empty Jiangsu-Zhejiang cuisine restaurant and quickly filled up.
"Is the afternoon venue fixed?"
"Yes, it is, got it all settled!" Su ngng nodded eagerly, taking charge since she called the shots, "This ti it’s a different place, with a new script for a horror ga!"
"How many people per ga?"
"Six to eight people, besides us, there are two others we don’t know."
"Seriously, these sneaky guys can always fill up the spots!"
"New script, more people want to try it out."
...
"Hello, you must be the ones who booked ’Ghost Lovers’, right?"
"Yes."
"Please wait a few minutes, the other two guests haven’t arrived yet. We’ll hurry them up."
"No need to rush, we’re here!"
As soon as the words ended, two n pushed the door open and ca in.
Lu Zheng felt as if two beams of light flashed before his eyes. Good heavens, are these guys models? Each one more handso than the other!
Both were over six feet tall, with fair skin, well-toned bodies, and chiseled faces with striking features.
Furthermore, Lu Zheng noticed how stylishly dressed they were, with the logos on their watches quite eye-catching.
Damn! These kinds are the most annoying!
"Great, now that everyone’s here, let’s get started."
The host appeared at the right ti, "The script for ’Ghost Lovers’ requires four males and four females, playing four couples. You can pair up first, and if it’s tricky to decide, we can draw lots."
Tong Muxuan and Su ngng were holding hands, so that pair was set.
Seeing the two handso model-like guys, Luo Yun’s eyes lit up but she maintained her poise without uttering a word.
"Hi, I’m Luo Liang, shall we pair up?" one of the model-like guys proactively asked Luo Yun.
"Sure, what a coincidence, I also have the surna Luo, I’m Luo Yun."
"Haha, what a coincidence, we must have been family five hundred years ago. From your accent, you’re from Hai City?"
"Yes."
"So am I."
"Hello, I’m Dong Jun, can I pair with you?" the other model-like guy made a move on Lin Wan.
Lin Wan shook her head and turned to Lu Zheng, "Shall we pair up?"
As Lin Wan’s beautiful eyes looked at him, Lu Zheng’s heart skipped a beat, and he nodded, "Sure!"
Huang Xiumin gritted her teeth and whispered to Lin Wan, "Two SPA sessions!"
"Deal!"
So the last pair was Dong Jun and Huang Xiumin.
"Alright, now that everyone has paired up, you can choose your characters and read the script. Follow , please." The host led them to the scene of the storyline.
’Ghost Lovers’ describes a couple who started living together after confirming their relationship, but the guy eventually shifts his affection, driving the girl mad, leading to their collusion with a third person to kill that girl.
The key is the female victim always kept the male’s identity a secret, while all four guys had flirtatious experiences with her.
Therefore, the four n with their girlfriends head to the scene of the murder to find the killer.
"Tsk tsk, this script is well-constructed, the writer seems fit for creating role-playing gas."
"I heard they used to write online novels, always failing at it."
"Haha, writing online novels, sure is a dead end."
...
Beyond Lu Zheng’s expectations, the guys who looked like models had good acting, logical thinking, and speaking skills. They weren’t just living off their looks and bodies.
As the plot unfolded, various hidden clues surfaced.
This ti, Lin Wan and Huang Xiumin didn’t guess the evidence in advance but followed the host’s pacing until the end.
"Satisfied!"
"I didn’t expect it to be this reason."
"The fatal evidence was caught, the murder made sense then."
"Tsk tsk, everyone here has a dark side!"
Four hours and the ga ended.
"Any plans for tonight, want to grab dinner together?" Luo Liang asked everyone, but his gaze was locked on Luo Yun.
"We have a dinner gathering tonight, my boss wants to treat Lu Zheng." Lin Wan declined.
"Your boss?" Tong Muxuan was montarily puzzled, wasn’t Lin Wan a cop?
"Yes, there’s a case, Lu Zheng helped us a bit," Lin Wan explained.
"A case, so you are?" Dong Jun, who saw there wasn’t much intimacy between Lin Wan and Lu Zheng during the ga, was not giving up just yet.
"Police."
Dong Jun couldn’t help but swallow, silently concluding not to ss around.
"Alright then, you head first."
With Lin Wan and Lu Zheng having important matters, they couldn’t be stopped.
Thus Lu Zheng and the two won bid farewell to everyone and left, while the remaining individuals were clearly about to grab a al together.
"I must say, those two were pretty handso."
In the taxi, Xiumin comnted with interest, "Looks like Luo Yun might get smitten."
"Seems like such playboys." Lin Wan coldly remarked.
Then both looked at Lu Zheng.
Six feet tall, fair-skinned, with delicate features, quite decent.
Tsk tsk, well then, a match indeed!
