You Are the Only One I Never Tire of Watching

"I feel like I've seen this riddle somewhere before..." Bai Yan murmured softly.

Ye Yihe already had the answer in her heart. She looked up, her eyes meeting Lu Anxing's deep gaze. She tilted her chin up and challenged, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman before?"

To her surprise, Lu Anxing smiled and replied calmly, "Life is dull; you are the only one I never tire of watching."

Her cheeks instantly flushed crimson. She tried to act tough, snapping, "Dog Lu! Shut your mouth!"

The live chat went into a frenzy once again.

[Tsk tsk, this little couple is so sweet~ They're stuffing my mouth with dog food, but I love it!]
[The Wuyou Wulu CP is real! If you know, you know~ Hurry up and join the ship, there are so many sweet moments in the Super Topic!]
[How can you not ship this?! How can you hold back?! Are you all special forces soldiers or something?]
[I'm switching sides! Ahhh! Wuyou Wulu CP, charge! Show off your affection more! Hurry up and get married! I want to drink wedding wine!]
[A real couple is just different, so sweet! I don't care, in my eyes, they are true love! I'm not listening, ahhh! This is too exciting!]
[Say what you want, but Ye Yihe's beauty is truly flawless! Antifans can doubt her ability or her acting, but they can't deny this face!]
[Crazy for Sister, wild for Sister, hitting a wall for Sister! Beautiful Sister, let me cling to you!!! (drooling)]
[Question: Usually, do rumors come out first or is it a public announcement?]
[Neither! It's going to register the marriage first!]

"Could it have something to do with a vengeful spirit?" Gao Xutian rested his chin on his hand, pondering. "A vengeful spirit's diary... Could it have been left by an NPC?"

"Uh... there's no vengeful spirit's diary here. It's likely the production team is just trying to scare you," Ye Yihe paused, then quietly added, "And to mess with everyone's thinking."

"The sentence after that is the real riddle," Lu Anxing added.

Gao Xutian was stunned. "How did you two guess that so quickly?"

"Because the real vengeful spirit's diary isn't here; it's hidden behind the door," Ye Yihe said nonchalantly. "Furthermore, if this riddle were related to the diary, it wouldn't be just a few short words. It wouldn't even be missing the most basic dates."

Lu Anxing, standing beside her, chimed in, "The words don't match up. The result is already obvious."

Gao Xutian: "..." You two are making me look so stupid!

"So what's the answer?" Bai Yan asked.

Meanwhile, in the program control room.

"I didn't expect them to see through it so fast. But luckily, this riddle isn't simple. They definitely won't guess the answer right away," Zhuo Yan said with great confidence.

Tan Hai remained silent for a moment before asking, "Are you sure?"

"Of course..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a clear voice rang out: "Rose."

Zhuo Yan's eyes immediately widened. "!!!"

Tan Hai wore a "just as I thought" expression. He knew she would definitely guess it.

"Congratulations on successfully passing the challenge. The third door, 'Vengeful Spirit's Diary,' has not opened yet. Please wait for the others," a mechanical voice announced.

"The... the answer is correct?" Gao Xutian was still dazed. "What was the answer again?"

Bai Yan, standing next to him, couldn't bear it anymore. "The answer is rose."

"Rose?" Gao Xutian still didn't understand. "What does a black turtle falling off a cliff have to do with a rose?"

Bai Yan explained patiently, "An unlucky black turtle is a 'mò guī' (unlucky turtle), which sounds like 'méi guī' (rose). Get it?" (Note: In Mandarin, 'mò guī' and 'méi guī' have similar pronunciations).

"Oh! So that's it! My god! You two are too smart!" Gao Xutian finally reacted. "Mò guī, méi guī!!"

[I'm dazed... This trick was totally unexpected! That's a bit of a 'cold' joke!]
[I wouldn't have thought of this answer in a million years. Unlucky turtle = rose, that's truly top-tier!]
[They actually guessed that? Amazing! I'm impressed, truly impressed!]

A while later, Fang Meimei's group finally arrived.

"Everyone is finally here. Why do you look so pale?" Gao Xutian greeted them.

Xia Jun shivered. "The NPC at the second door was terrifying. Didn't you guys encounter them?"

At the mention of this, Gao Xutian couldn't hide his excitement. "Let me tell you, we were so lucky! The NPC at the second door turned out to be Yihe's friend. We didn't have to do anything to get the mission card! Wasn't that incredibly thrilling?"

Hearing this, a flash of jealousy crossed Fang Meimei's eyes, and her hands clenched. So that was it. No wonder she was so fast! She used the back door!

No! She must have done it on purpose! There's no such thing as such a coincidence! She must have arranged it beforehand!

She had been plotting against me from the start, intentionally leading me to choose the left path! She did it on purpose! Fang Meimei thought to herself.

"Wow, your luck is so good! I'm so envious!" Liu Dao said with a face full of jealousy. "I almost had a heart attack in there!"

Xia Jun glanced at Bai Yan and said something seemingly random, "It's good that you're okay."

Fang Meimei stared at Ye Yihe and spoke up, "But, isn't that a bit unfair?"

Sensing her gaze, Ye Yihe looked up to meet it and smiled faintly. "Everyone relies on their own prowess. Where is the unfairness? Besides, you decided which path to take. Can you really blame that on me too?"

"I just feel it's too much of a coincidence. You just happened to have been here before, and you just happened to know the staff..."

Fang Meimei didn't say the rest out loud, but everyone could guess what she was implying...

[No way? Does Ye Yihe really have something going on with the director?]
[I heard rumors long ago that Ye Yihe and the director had an unusual relationship... Even the audition was just a formality. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems those rumors might be true.]
[I told you, there aren't that many coincidences in this world. This woman, Ye Yihe, is not simple! Even the Lu family is being led by the nose by her. Her level is truly high~]
[You guys are making things up! My Bao isn't that kind of person! In my opinion, someone is just crying sour grapes! How annoying!]
[Exactly! I believe Ye Yihe isn't the type to crave vanity! I trust Master Lu's eyes even more! No one can break the Wuyou Wulu CP!]
[Precisely! With Master Lu's doting on our Bao, what could she possibly want that she wouldn't get? Why would she stoop to pleasing a director? Ridiculous!]
[I also believe Ye Yihe wouldn't lack self-respect like that! On the contrary, it's Fang Meimei who is constantly being passive-aggressive and intentionally making leading statements. Her heart is truly malicious!]

Indeed, Fang Meimei wanted everyone to misunderstand Ye Yihe, but perhaps she didn't expect that Ye Yihe's fanbase had grown strong and mostly consisted of rational fans. They naturally wouldn't believe baseless rumors. Even the antifans who wanted to bash Ye Yihe were scolded into silence.
