Everyone was happily participating in the game. Only Bai Xiao frowned as he looked at the bartender on the stage. He did not know if it was an illusion, but the more Bai Xiao looked at that figure, the more familiar she was.

Hu Ke did not realize that someone was staring at her. She had already finished her performance, packed her things, and walked down the stage.

In any case, Wen Huai was around and she would take care of everything. Hu Ke left the stage in relief and wanted to stay in the cocktail room for a while.

Moreover, when she came, Wen Huai mentioned that she only needed to prepare alcohol for Bai Xiao alone. Now, this performance was done by Hu Ke to boost Wen Huai’s reputation.

After completing her mission, she wanted to be alone now. Hu Ke planned to send a message to Wen Huai when she arrived at the cocktail room.

Wen Huai was still hosting the event at the side. Her back was facing Hu Ke, but the people who were enthusiastically participating in the game below the stage could see it clearly.

A few people who were familiar with Fox wanted to befriend her. One of the sharp-eyed people noticed Hu Ke, who was about to slip away, and hurriedly shouted, “Fox, you’ve worked hard. Do you want to play with us?”

That person’s voice was very loud. When he called out, almost everyone’s eyes were focused on Hu Ke.

Hu Ke’s movements suddenly froze. She could neither advance nor retreat.

At this moment, Wen Huai also reacted. She used her eyes to ask Hu Ke if she wanted to stay. Hu Ke shook his head slightly and still wanted to leave.

Hu Ke was not used to such a lively occasion. She rarely stayed with so many people and only felt uneasy. Moreover, she was already two months pregnant. If anything happened to the child, it would be troublesome.

Wen Huai understood and immediately began to maintain the situation. “Everyone, we all know what foxes are like, right?”

The people below the stage did not know what was going on, but they still supported her enthusiastically. “We know!”

Wen Huai nodded and pretended to be mysterious. “This is our most important game tonight. Fox will hide while we’re playing the first game. After we distribute the bomb shots, we’ll start the last game, Search for Fox. Everyone knows that foxes are cunning, but! As long as someone finds Fox, they can directly obtain a one-year membership of 1943. Moreover, they can spend half an hour alone with Fox tonight!”

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar.

1943’s membership was rare, so everyone naturally rubbed their palms together in high spirits. Wen Huai struck while the iron was hot, indicating that Fox would not change her clothes or take off her mask. They would just use these two characteristics to find her.

Hu Ke also heaved a sigh of relief. After bowing and saying goodbye, she left the stage and ran towards the cocktail room.

Bai Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction where Hu Ke left. The more he looked, the more familiar the figure looked, but he could not remember who it was. It was not until Hu Ke’s back disappeared that Bai Xiao turned around and finished the alcohol on the table in one gulp. He planned to join the game.

After all, it was a drink concocted by Fox, which could restore his taste buds. Humans were always greedy. He had already tasted sweetness a few times, and now, he felt that he could not live without this alcohol.

At first, he only thought that it would be great if he could recover his taste buds even if it was just for a minute. After a minute, he wanted another hour. After the time he had his taste buds extended again and again, Bai Xiao wanted to have Fox’s contact information even more now.

Search for Fox was his way to get Fox’s contact information.

On the stage, under Wen Huai’s control, everything proceeded in an orderly manner. Hu Ke also successfully ran to the cocktail room. After closing the door, she heaved a sigh of relief and took off her mask.

Wen Huai’s offer was very tempting. Everyone’s attention would be attracted. However, 1943 was too big. As long as she did not go out, no one would be able to find her.

Hu Ke relaxed, poured himself a glass of water, and leisurely played with her phone.

The game on the stage was also ongoing. From Carrot Squat to Stool Snatch to King’s Game, many people had obtained a bomb shot. However, Bai Xiao did not obtain the alcohol until now. It was unknown if it was because his luck was too bad or his strength was not good.

During the intermission, Bai Xiao stood up and walked to the washroom. He wanted to ease his mood.

Hu Ke had drunk a lot of water in the bartender’s room and couldn’t hold it in anymore. She quietly opened the door and walked to the washroom when she realized that no one was around.

“Why are you here?”

Walking alone, Hu Ke was shocked by the sudden voice. He turned around and saw Bai Xiao standing in front of him.

Bai Xiao was also surprised. 1943 did not receive outsiders today. Why was Hu Ke here?

“Could you be…” Bai Xiao looked at Hu Ke, his gaze sizing up her clothes.

Hu Ke’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Bai Xiao had discovered that she was Fox?
