Arc 4: Castle Escape
Chapter 98

Gu Ze chuckled lightly and raised his hand to gently rub the back of Xu Ziyue’s neck, making Xu Ziyue tremble.

The others stared at Xu Ziyue speechless for a long time.

It was Gu Ze who broke the silence and continued, “Xu Ziyue is…..my possession.”

Everyone shuddered when they heard Gu Ze’s words.

Gu Ze’s voice was deeper and lower than Xu Ziyue’s. His gaze and the emotions in his voice as he said this while looking at Xu Ziyue seemed as if it could drown people. The affection in it was so strong, it made the others feel suffocated, as if someone was clutching them by their throat preventing them from breathing.

But they clearly only knew each other for only a few days.

“The two of you……What are you here for?” When that feeling faded away, the manager finally found her voice.

Xu Ziyue looked around and replied hesitantly, “I guess……I also….am not sure.”

Xu Ziyue’s answer only angered the others further. Only Gu Ze alone smiled extremely happily when he heard Xu Ziyue’s answer.

And it was this face of his that would always make Xu Ziyue dazed whenever it lights up.

Gu Ze’s smiling face was particularly intoxicating. Even if the others aren’t face-cons, they also couldn’t help but take a second look.

“It’s probably in order to meet me.” Gu Ze said this and gently planted a kiss on Xu Ziyue’s forehead.

The others: “……….”

The manager who had only just calmed her complicated emotions down could no longer remain calm. She even had the urge to throw this pair of dog men out of this game.

—— Although she can’t actually do it.

So she could only watch on coldly, “Since you two are like this……it means you both don’t suspect each other?”

Gu Ze smiled and replied before Xu Ziyue could come up with a response, “If he wants to do something, I will not stop him.”

Everyone’s eyes suddenly focused on Xu Ziyue.

Because from the sound of that, it was as if Xu Ziyue had really done something and Gu Ze knew all about it.

Xu Ziyue: I’m not, I didn’t do anything!!!

Xu Ziyue glared at Gu Ze with a ‘I didn’t expect you to be such a person’ look before calmly looking back at the others, “I didn’t do anything. Because Gu Ze’s is too obsessive, he even only casted his vote on me. If I wanted to do anything, he would probably be jealous and do something first!”

The looks in the other people’s eyes changed once again.

What are you doing here showing off?! Although they now knew the inside story behind the votes, they didn’t feel happy at all! They were just purely here to show off!

Gu Ze didn’t say anything in response to Xu Ziyue’s words. No matter what Xu Ziyue said, he would nod and say with an intoxicating smile, “Yes, everything of yours is mine.”

Gu Ze seemed to have found a unique way to express himself.

Before this, Gu Ze only thought about owning and monopolizing but the people around him didn’t realise that his things are monopolised by him and would even end up coveting and stealing. With the situation now where he announced his ownership, the others would no longer think that his possessions are not his.

The butler rubbed the goosebumps along his arms and asked tentatively, “Don’t you think that…..your relationship is a bit strange?”

Xu Ziyue glanced at the butler. Oh, so you only notice that now…..

But Xu Ziyue naturally wouldn’t confirm it so he just smiled and raised his head to kiss Gu Ze on the chin.

“We’re a fated pair!” Each benefiting off the other.

The manager supported his forehead and said weakly, “I don’t think these two can communicate normally.”

“……..I second that.”

The topic about Xu Ziyue and Gu Ze had magically been discarded but it didn’t mean that they didn’t suspect Xu Ziyue and Gu Ze.

At this moment with Gu Ze and Xu Ziyue being so friendly, the two are either from the same camp or one is in control of the other. However, in a situation where there is no further evidence, they wouldn’t arbitrarily waste their votes on Xu Ziyue and Gu Ze. They’re not stupid either and wouldn’t just blindly follow the female makeup assistant’s words to vote for them.

The votes would naturally go towards the ones they believe is the murderer.

Trusting in yourself is always far better than trusting another because it wouldn’t be surprising if the everyone suddenly turned around and voted for you when you thought you were free from suspicion.

Xu Ziyue breathed a sigh of relief.

He raised his head and glanced at Gu Ze who had just made trouble for him.

Gu Ze smiled softly at Xu Ziyue and then grabbed his hand and brought it to his lips to kiss like no one was watching.

Xu Ziyue sucked a deep breath…..

Gosh!!! This person—–This person is unbelievably good at flirting!!!

Xu Ziyue buried his face in Gu Ze’s chest and for a long time was completely reluctant to come out.

The male makeup assistant stared incredulously at Xu Ziyue before whispering to Staff A: “These two are too…….”

“It’s alright.” Staff A calmly interrupted the male makeup assistant. He didn’t want to join him in gossiping.

The male makeup assistant who was interrupted could only dejectedly turn his head away and continue to comfort the female makeup who seemed to still be resentful about something.

*****

Even though Xu Ziyue said there was no need to change rooms, they still went ahead with it. Afterall, if they gave up without trying, it would be difficult for them to survive through this.

Xu Ziyue sat cross-legged on the bed with his hand supporting his chin. All the rooms had their own wall clocks.

By eight o’clock, Xu Ziyue was still not sleepy. He then went over to the door to give it a try…still unable to open.

Gu Ze sat at the head of the bed reading his book and would occasionally glance up at Xu Ziyue like he was making sure his prey had not been taken away.

When he saw Xu Ziyue try the door, Gu Ze placed down his book, walked over to the door and directly plastered himself onto Xu Ziyue’s back, trapping him between his arms and the door.

Gu Ze rubbed his nose against Xu Ziyue’s soft hair and took in the fragrance of Xu Ziyue’s hair that was just washed, “You want to go out?”

“That’s not it…I was just curious.” Xu Ziyue let Gu Ze hold him, “I was just wondering if the others are asleep yet.”

“They’re asleep.” Gu Ze answered with certainty.

Xu Ziyue: “……..” Alright, alright. I already know that you’re the boss.

When Gu Ze saw that Xu Ziyue wasn’t speaking so he said, “We should sleep too, hmm?”

Xu Ziyue turned his head and tried his best to look at Gu Ze who had his chin pressed onto the top of his head, “Then…….can you tell me why they would fall asleep before eight o’clock?”

Gu Ze lowered his head and kissed the corner of Xu Ziyue’s eye, “Because of the vent.”

Xu Ziyue followed Gu Ze’s gaze over to an inconspicuous looking vent on the ceiling.

Xu Ziyue asked, “You mean…..something like sleeping powder?” This wasn’t a wuxia!

Gu Ze nodded.

Xu Ziyue: Okay, I guess this may be wuxia.

Gu Ze who had given him the answer smoothly pulled Xu Ziyue onto the bed.

He then turned off the light and held Xu Ziyue in his arms. As long as he was not completely asleep, he would occasionally raise his hand to touch to confirm that he was still there in his arms.

Xu Ziyue originally was a little sleepy, but with Gu Ze touching his back from time to time…….

He found that he was becoming more and more energetic.

It was the other type of energetic.

In the darkness, Gu Ze chuckled lightly, “Why are you so sensitive?”

Xu Ziyue was embarrassed, “Can I be blamed for this?”

Xu Ziyue pulled away Gu Ze’s hand that was on his back and trapped it with his hands before deliberately lowering his voice to say sternly, “Sleep!”

Gu Ze quietly sighed. His voice sounded a little regretful, making Xu Ziyue even more frustrated.

Ahhhh—- Why does he have to be so disciplined! He obviously wants it too!

Xu Ziyue angrily fell asleep, leaving the excited Gu Ze staring at Xu Ziyue’s sleeping face.

After a long while, Gu Ze left a mark on Xu Ziyue’s neck, held Xu Ziyue’s hands and contently fell asleep.

*****

The fourth day of the escape room.

It was the female makeup assistant who was eliminated.

She was hanged to death behind the door. Seeing that she didn’t show up when she was called, they had pushed the door open only to find it especially heavy.

There was only a large knot trapped between the door and the door frame.

When the door was pushed open, the female makeup assistant fell onto the ground.

The large bunch of keys that had been missing for a long time and should belong to the cleaner was also found in her room.

As the others discussed this, Xu Ziyue couldn’t help but look at Gu Ze.

Gu Ze rubbed Xu Ziyue’s dog head and just smiled faintly.

It was very boss style.

Except for those keys, the female makeup assistant’s fingers had some dried blood stains.

It looked like she had scratched someone.

Something of note was that she had cut her fingernails into triangle tips. Xu Ziyue remembered hearing in the hall the day before that she wanted to use it to protect herself against the murderer.

“Then it should be easy to work\ out.” The butler looked around at everyone, “Whoever has scratches should be the one.”

The male makeup assistant smiled awkwardly, “Hey, hey. Don’t just jump to conclusions. I also have scratches.”

The manager raised a brow, “How?”

The male makeup assistant was a straightforward person. He unbuttoned his pink shirt and revealed his back and chest.

It had to be said that although there were a few scratches on it, his muscle lines were quite attractive.

Xu Ziyue who was originally planning to take in the sight a little longer suddenly found his eyes covered by Gu Ze.

Gu Ze stared at the male makeup assistant and ordered with some dissatisfaction, “Put on your clothes.”

The others looked back at Gu Ze……only to see that he was covering Xu Ziyue’s eyes. All kinds of feelings struck them in an instant and the only thought was that they were being too excessive.

The male makeup assistant curled his lips and put his shirt back on, “This was something I got when I went to bed yesterday. I can’t explain it.”
