Let's Give Each Other a Break Tonight

Hearing this, Su Yang looked up at Ren Lingxi with some surprise.

"You... are sure?"

"Of course, it's just going to play an escape room, what's the problem?"

"Mainly, the place is a bit remote, you're not scared?"

Ren Lingxi took a sip from her mineral water and smiled brightly: "I am~"

"You're scared... and still dare to go with me?"

"I'm scared of that kind of creepy atmosphere, not you. You look like a good person at first glance."

Hearing this, Su Yang thought to himself: 'That sounds somewhat familiar.'

Seeing Su Yang silent, Ren Lingxi continued: "I've actually been to this kind of large-scale escape room out in the boonies with friends once before. It was indeed a bit scary, but these kinds of places exist in basically every city, and they're quite safe."

"So you're definitely teaming up with me?"

"Mhmm~" Ren Lingxi smiled, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at Su Yang.

"Whew~" Su Yang let out a sigh of relief and quickly finished the remaining cold jelly.

Then he wiped his mouth and reached out his hand towards Ren Lingxi: "Thank you~"

Ren Lingxi was taken aback for a moment, then also extended her hand to shake Su Yang's. "No need to be so polite, it's just going to play a game together."

"If it weren't for you, I probably would have had a hard time finding anyone else today, so I still want to thank you."

"And also thank you for trusting me."

Ren Lingxi covered her mouth with a laugh: "You're quite humorous. It's just playing a game, what's there about trust or not~"

"Mainly, I'm bored by myself too. Going to play with you all sounds nice, and I can get to know new friends~"

Su Yang nodded with a smile: "Yeah, that's true. You have a good attitude~"

"That's life~ Being happy is the most important thing~"

"Haha, yes."

[Ding, detected that the host has successfully invited a beautiful teammate, mood is joyful, reward 2 million]

[Ding, detected that Ren Lingxi's favorability towards the host has increased to 20, reward 3 million]

After the system's voice faded, Su Yang looked at Ren Lingxi and asked: "By the way, I still don't know your name."

Ren Lingxi stood up and extended her hand to Su Yang again: "Let me formally introduce myself. Ren Lingxi, Ren as in 'task', Ling as in 'spirit', Xi as in 'tide'. You can call me Lingxi."

Seeing this, Su Yang also stood up and extended his hand. The two shook hands once more.

"Alright, Lingxi. I'm Su Yang, Su as in 'Su Dongpo', Yang as in 'sun'."

"Nice to meet you~" Ren Lingxi said with a wink and a smile.

"Likewise."

"Then I'll call you Brother Yang?"

"Sure, I'm probably a few years older than you."

After introducing each other, the two shared a smile, but their clasped hands still hadn't let go.

The boss nearby saw this, secretly smiled, and didn't say anything more.

Three seconds later, Su Yang spoke up: "Um... should I go pay the bill first?"

"Oh oh, sorry~" Ren Lingxi hurriedly let go of his hand and sat down.

Then Su Yang turned and walked to the shop entrance, asking: "Boss, check please. How much for two bowls?"

"Sixteen, handsome~"

"Okay."

Su Yang was just about to take out his phone to scan and pay when Ren Lingxi quickly ran up and called out: "Brother Yang, wait."

"What's up?"

"I'll pay for mine myself~"

"No need, it's just a bowl of cold jelly. Consider it my treat to thank you for agreeing to team up with me."

"Well... alright then~"

Su Yang smiled slightly and opened WeChat to scan the code.

"Sent it over, boss~"

"Alrighty, received it. Take care, handsome guy and pretty lady. Hope you have fun in Licheng~"

The two turned and nodded at the boss with a smile: "Thank you~"

"You're welcome~"

After paying, Su Yang and Ren Lingxi walked side by side, strolling towards the central area.

On the way, Su Yang asked: "By the way, Lingxi, why didn't you come traveling with friends?"

"I did invite them originally, but they were all busy, so I came out alone."

"Oh oh, so where are you from?"

"Haicheng~"

"Ha...icheng?"

"Yeah, why?" Ren Lingxi turned her head to look at Su Yang and asked.

"What a coincidence? I'm from Haicheng too."

"Ah? You are too?"

"Yes, to be precise, I'm from Yangcheng, but I live in Haicheng~"

"Oh oh, that's such a coincidence! Your friends aren't all from Haicheng too, are they?"

Su Yang thought for a moment and said: "Mostly, yes~"

"Impressive! Then we're fellow townspeople~"

"Right."

"This is such a fateful meeting, Brother Yang, shall we exchange WeChat?"

"Sure." Su Yang agreed, pulling out his phone to add Ren Lingxi as a friend.

'Didn't expect it to go so smoothly~ Really good luck.'

'This girl doesn't seem to be wearing much makeup, yet she looks even better than with makeup on. Her looks are too unreal. Those guys will probably have their jaws drop when they see her later.'

'Don't know if they've found anyone yet.'

The two continued walking forward. Su Yang's phone vibrated.

He took it out and looked. It was a message in the road trip group chat.

Meng Qianyu: @Handsome guys, you're definitely going to play the escape room tonight, right?

Meng Wenzhou: Yes, what's up?

Meng Qianyu: Well, in that case, we won't have dinner with you all later~

Meng Wenzhou: What? Not even dinner?

Meng Qianyu: Hehe, didn't I tell you we met two new friends at the place doing colorful braids? They have a few more friends coming over, so they invited us to have dinner with them. After eating, we'll go play a script game.

Meng Wenzhou: Guys or girls?

Meng Qianyu: None of your business!

Meng Wenzhou: Hey? Am I still your brother or not? Can't even ask that?

Tang Ziyun: [Snickers] Seems like there are four girls and two guys in total.

Meng Wenzhou: Oh oh, alright then~

Liu Bo: What a pity, we were going to treat you all to a big meal later.

Meng Qianyu: We're having a big meal too, no big deal. Let's each have our own. That's it, bye~

Su Yang read the messages and typed: So none of you are eating with us?

Su Qingci: That's right~ Having dinner with new friends.

Tang Ziyun: Tonight we're giving each other the night off [Giggle]

Zhang Ziming: What's going on?

Meng Wenzhou: Scroll up yourself. The beauties aren't having dinner with us tonight, so we guys will just have to make do with something simple~

Liu Bo: Sigh, can only be like this [Crying]

Meng Qianyu: Stop pretending! Don't think I don't know you're all probably grinning from ear to ear inside right now!

Liu Bo: How could that be!! I'm heartbroken!

Zhang Ziming: Yeah, sigh.

Meng Qianyu: Not talking to you anymore, that's it, bye!

Su Yang finished reading the messages with a smile. He was about to put away his phone and continue chatting with Ren Lingxi.

But Meng Wenzhou immediately created a new small group called [Male Gods].

It contained Su Yang and the other five guys.

Meng Wenzhou: Everyone saw that, right? We're completely free tonight~

Liu Bo: [Taking off]

Zhang Ziming: [Fireworks]

Su Yang typed: So later, we'll each bring our own teammates to dinner.

Meng Wenzhou: Mhmm, that's exactly the idea!

Su Yang smiled and continued replying: I've already found a teammate. How much longer for you guys?

Meng Wenzhou: I've found one too~

Zhang Ziming: [Handshake]

Liu Bo: What the hell? So all three of you have found someone? And here I am chatting with you guys. Later!

After sending the message, Liu Bo went offline to continue searching for a teammate.

It seemed Ji Bo and Chu Qiunan, who hadn't spoken up, hadn't found anyone yet either.

Su Yang typed a reply: Should those of us who've found someone meet up first?

Meng Wenzhou: Ok, let's meet at the entrance of the coffee shop from before.

Zhang Ziming: Roger that!
