    Chapter 22 Cruel Moonlight

    These days, Xia Xiqing never took the initiative to contact Zhou Ziheng again, and Zhou Ziheng obviously wouldn't come to him. In general, Xia Xiqing can basically solve the problem within a week, but Zhou Ziheng is an exception.

    He was quite willing to spend his time.

    All the people or things that can make him feel satisfied, he is willing to spend time for it.

    On the day the house was renovated, Xia Xiqing planned to invite Xu Qichen and the others to gather at their new home. This proposal was also mentioned by Chen Fang, because that day happened to be the premiere of the show "Escape from Heaven".

    The "Escape From Heaven" program team spent a lot of money to build momentum for the ratings. Needless to say, all kinds of materials before the broadcast, the trailer alone has been forwarded nearly 20,000. Almost all of the five guests have their own halo and traffic, especially Xia Xiqing, who made his debut as a fan of Zhou Ziheng before, and now he is on the same reality show as his idol, which has attracted much attention.

    The tone of the first program preview is a very orthodox suspense style, fragmented editing, dislocated lines, faster and faster rhythm and BGM all at once grabbed the hearts of the audience.

    Compared with the traditional escape room, "Escape from the World" has more parts to find the killer, and the editing also highlights this point, amplifying everyone's contradictions and breakthroughs in the trailer.

    Xia Xiqing knew early on that the variety show's preview routine was very deep, but he didn't expect it to be so deep. The part where he was questioned by Cen Chen was cut in, and the taste completely changed.

    "What if you're not an ordinary player yourself?" Cen Chen's voice matched the scene where Zhou Ziheng untied Xia Xiqing's handcuffs. Soon, the scene turned to him leaning against the wall, smiling and answering the question.

    "If I were really a killer, the first thing I would do would be to 'kill' Zhou Ziheng."

    In the middle is Ruan Xiao unpacking the jewelry box, and Shang Sirui sitting on the chair smiling and saying, "I abstained from voting." Then, the screen changed to Xia Xiqing and Zhou Ziheng locked in the room In the first scene, Zhou Ziheng, who is bound all over, and Xia Xiqing, who is handcuffed and blindfolded, face each other.

    Cen Chen's voice appeared again, "Could it be that what Xia Xiqing said is true? Ziheng, you are really a killer." Suddenly, the picture turned into darkness.

    No, it's not darkness, Xia Xiqing pressed the earphone with his finger, and there was a slight gasp from inside. In the darkness, an infrared camera appeared to record the scene where Zhou Ziheng pushed him against the wall and covered his mouth.

    Zhou Ziheng's voice began to appear, "If I were the killer, I would indeed be the first to kill him."

    The images of everyone being initialized in the room flashed one by one, and finally they were frozen at the moment the door opened, but the figure walking out of the door was blurred.

    He heard his own voice, it sounded weak and calm.

    "I can't get out."

    Under the sound of the door slamming shut, the words "Escape from Heaven" appeared on the screen, and the trailer ended.

    Xia Xiqing shook his head and took off his headphones. This program group is really good at creating conflicts. The short two-minute preview hardly revealed any real plot. Instead, the original plot was reorganized. All the contradictions were concentrated on Zhou Ziheng and him. After the audience sees the preview again, they will involuntarily substitute into their conflict, weakening their attention to Shang Sirui, and only when they finally see the truth will they feel a sense of knowing.

    It's really fun.

    Xia Xiqing clicked on the nearly 10,000 comments below the trailer, which were basically as he expected.

    [Who said I was cute]: Ah, ah, what kind of fairy plot of falling in love and killing each other! Officials forced to kill colleagues! !

    [Shinyyyy]: Oh my God, the room escape and werewolf killing are both visual, if it is the killer, the first person who wants to kill is the other party! This is so emotional, I burst into tears! ! I haven't seen such an exciting reality show for a long time! (Not a fan, but I think Zhou Ziheng really exploded)

    [I'm a scumbag]: What kind of fairy Alpha is Tian Zhou Ziheng, I can see my heart explode in place by pressing the passage on the wall, covering my mouth and rounding up is a strong kiss, sisters!

    [Little Butterfly is not Xiao Fudie]: I have to say that the little brother in the white shirt is really good-looking. He looks like an angel in the world when he smiles. I don't believe that the little brother will be Killer~

    [My cute Sansan]: 55555 The milky yellow Sirui is so cute. Although Sansan is so cute, I still want to say that his sense of disobedience in this high-IQ game is really strong hahahahaha.

    [Rui Rui grew up eating sugar]: Really hahahaha, Sansan will perform various "stupid" faces for everyone on the spot~

    [Is there anyone more lovely than Shang Sirui]: Please don't tell me that Rui Rui was the first to die [although I really think so

    [Miss sister is a treasure]: Has anyone found that this show is a feast of beauty? That lady from Mensa is so pretty. She doesn't look like an amateur at all. She has temperament and intelligence. What kind of fairy is this?

    [Brother Ceng married me today]: My husband rarely had the last reality show, and he was doing the job of questioning others throughout the whole process. Hahahahahaha, so fierce~

    [I love CC]: I have black hair and red lips! I also want to marry Brother Chen today!

    [KarenLee]: Passers-by, I was circled after watching the preview. I feel that this show is very conscientious. The scene props are very real, and the immersion is too strong.

    [I'm not a little zombie]: Really conscience, it's like watching a TV series! And there are really very few programs of this type in the country, and it's completely appetizing for a suspense fan like me! Just watching the preview gave me goosebumps, and it was scheduled to explode.

    [Hee hee hee hee hee hee]: The program team feels that they have made a big chess game. The preview can't tell who is the dark character, but they are really good at choosing guests! Zhou Ziheng and his fans are really CP aura! A high-IQ actor X a high-IQ artist, they fell in love with each other and fell in love.

    ……

    Jiang Yinzhen is worthy of being a gold medal producer. The effect is more exaggerated than Xia Xiqing thought. Nearly half of the 10,000 comments are discussing Zhou Ziheng and his CP.

    I don't know how Zhou Ziheng will feel when he sees this notice now. Thinking about it this way, Xia Xiqing seemed to be able to see his unhappy expression on his face. The interest came, and he wanted to tease him again. As soon as he opened the WeChat interface, Xia Xiqing hesitated again. He found a problem, and it seemed that he was in such a hurry for the first time.

    Looking at the chat box that never responded to messages, Xia Xiqing finally quit WeChat and threw the phone on the sofa.

    As soon as he left it, he called. I was quite happy at first, thinking that it was Zhou Ziheng's stupid boy who got enlightened, but I didn't expect that the caller ID was another person. The smile on Xia Xiqing's face gradually cooled down, but he finally answered the phone.

    After making the call, he walked around the living room a few times, smoked a cigarette, put on slightly more formal clothes and went out.

    Before picking up the car, sent a message to the four-person WeChat group.

    [Xia Xiqing]: Let's put it aside for today's game.

    [Chen Fang]: You didn't let our pigeons go to catch Kaizi!

    [Xia Zhixu]: Cheers.jpg

    [Xu Qichen]: What's wrong? I also said that I would buy some food from Zhixu and bring it to cook for you later.

    [Xia Xiqing]: I have something to do temporarily. Tomorrow, I will prepare wine and wait for you~ Chen Chen, I want to eat boiled fish~

    After explaining Xia Xiqing, he started the car. It was just before the evening rush hour, and the road was heavily blocked. Xia Xiqing, who was not very happy at first, was even more annoyed. He finally stumbled to his destination, and suddenly it started to rain.

    Fortunately, there was an umbrella in the car. don’t know which lover left it before, so didn’t have to pick it. Xia Xiqing, who had parked the car, came down with the umbrella and looked around. The school gate at 6 o’clock in the afternoon was full of people wearing school uniforms. Students and parents, one after another colorful umbrella covers most of the sight.

    where is it? Xia Xiqing lifted the umbrella and looked around at the high school students passing by. Suddenly, felt someone bumped up from behind, arms wrapped around his waist.

    "elder brother!"

    Xia Xiqing sighed, opened the arms that wrapped around his waist, and when he turned around, he saw Xia Xiuze's smiling face, his wet hair hanging down on his forehead, and a pair of eyes that resembled his crescent moon.

    "Why don't you let your dad come?" Facing the smiling face of the so-called "brother", Xia Xiqing didn't give a good look. He pushed the umbrella handle in his hand into Xia Xiuze's arms, "Take it."

    "He went to the UK to talk business." Xia Xiuze took the umbrella and held it for Xia Xiqing. Most of his shoulders were exposed. He was obviously still a freshman in high school, but he was running fast. He was only half a head behind Xia Xiqing. .

    Then you won't find your mother. Xia Xiqing originally wanted to ask this question, but in the end he didn't say it, he just said coldly, "How can your teacher take you without your parents? Do you have to find someone to come over?"

    Xia Xiuze bit the inside of his lip and whispered, "Everyone has their parents coming... If I, if I... don't feel good."

    "What's wrong, I'm still graduating." Xia Xiqing was not forgiving, but he still walked towards Xia Xiuze's school. Xia Xiuze understood that his brother had agreed, and happily held an umbrella for his brother, and took advantage of the opportunity of holding the same umbrella to be close to him.

    He has adored his brother since he was a child, thinking that he is the most powerful and beautiful person in the world. No one dislikes his brother, he is the one who likes the most.

    But they are not exactly the same blood after all.

    Xia Xiuze's mother intervened in Xia Xiqing's family. A family that was originally incomplete finally fell apart, and Xia Xiuze was the crystallization of this collapse.

    Since he was a child, Xia Xiuze has never gotten a good look from Xia Xiqing. He has always been very afraid of this brother who is ten years older than him, because he is always arrogant and ignores the existence of their mother and son at any time. Until his sixth birthday, he dressed like a little prince and invited the whole class to come to his house for a party. Standing by the window and directing everyone to play games, he looked downstairs and inadvertently saw his limping brother sitting on the steps in front of the house.

    He climbed onto the stool and searched for a long time in the cabinet full of gifts, only to find a small Band-Aid. Xia Xiuze dashed downstairs and walked carefully to his brother's side with a Band-Aid, daring to speak for a long time.

    When he stood until his legs were weak, his brother finally turned his head. The sharp moonlight pierced his side face, and the corners of his bloody mouth were raised proudly as usual, like a gorgeous and decadent rose.

    "are you happy?"

    Birthday is a happy thing.

    It should also be a happy thing to see me so embarrassed.

    Xia Xiuze didn't dare to speak, but just stepped forward and handed the Band-Aid over, "Brother, I'll put it on for you, so it won't hurt."

    That night, Xia Xiqing hugged him for the first time, just like hugging a real younger brother.

    Buried on that little shoulder, she cried bitterly.
