CH 66

The lips parted at the first touch, leaving only a soft and warm touch.

The long gown suddenly fluttered down to his back, and Su Chi straightened up to gather his lapels as if nothing had happened.

Su Jianchen at the other end turned around just in time, “Big brother, are you ready yet?”

Su Huanyi returned to his senses and hurriedly pulled at his clothes, revealing two red ear tips in between his black hair. Su Chi glanced at them and the corner of his mouth curled up. Then he turned around to look at Su Jianchen.

His lapels were still open and he asked, “What do you think?”

Su Jianchen, “Oh…”

Su Yu looked over. From his angle, he could vaguely see the slim figure behind Su Chi that was in the middle of raising a hand to slip it into his clothes. After a while, Su Chi turned back around with one hand raised to help him.

“Second brother.” Su Yu called out to Su Jianchen, who was still looking over, “Can you help me see if my back is sorted out?”

Su Jianchen withdrew his eyes and frowned. “Third brother, why are you so particular?”

On the other hand, the two looked down as they straightened their clothes. Su Huanyi’s outer gown was pulled over with one hand, and Su Chi’s slender fingers brought the fabric past his neck, pausing when it passed the red mole.

Su Huanyi pulled the strap and urged in a low voice, “Big brother, you should close your clothes too. Otherwise, your abs will get cold. ”

Su Chi: “….”

Several people changed their clothes and put their belongings into the storage locker. Su Huanyi walked behind Su Chi as they exited the dressing room, while Su Yu walked at the front with Su Jianchen, “Let’s go.”

They pushed the door open and came to the lounge, where Liu Qinling was already waiting. She saw the four walk out and had a moment of amazement.

*The dragon gave birth to nine sons, each of which is different. The four brothers of the Su family also had different styles—Su Yu’s red attire was flamboyant and wild, like a flamboyant prince or nobleman; behind him, Su Jianchen’s navy blue tunic was stable and strong, with rigid lines, very much like a general.

“Wow, you ……” her exclamation stopped at the sight of the last two.

Su Chi was dressed in a noble, gold and black long gown, and his eyes were raised in an imposing, cold, and ascetic manner. He looked at the person beside him and his aura was slightly reduced. “Walk properly and don’t kick the hem of your clothes.”

Su Huanyi was dressed in a long white gown with a light outer robe over it that fluttered behind him, faintly revealing the waistline outlined by the corset underneath. “I didn’t kick it on purpose, I was just *walking with the wind.”

“Do you think you’re a vacuum cleaner?”

“….”

Liu Qinling’s exclamation was stuck in her throat as she swept her gaze over the two people who walked in. There was a hint of something else in there besides the visual impact.

“Wow, Sister Ling is such a beauty.” Su Yu walked up to her in a few steps. Her bright red gown was quite eye-catching.

Liu Qinglin’s feeling of déjà vu was shaken to the point of disappearing. She crossed her arms and raised her chin, “True!”

The staff member got up and handed out the pamphlets in his hand to the group, “These are the instructions for using the props. They will help you to crack the secret room later. There is no role-playing in this script, so just work together to get to the end. ”

Su Huanyi flipped the pamphlet open and read it word for word. He was halfway through the booklet when he saw Su Chi close his from the corner of his eye. Su Huanyi looked up and accused, “Big brother, you did not read it carefully.”

Su Chi: “I’ve already taken note of everything.”

Su Huanyi didn’t believe him, “You just scanned it without reading it.”

Su Chi looked at him pointedly, “And the effect of finger reading is excellent?”

“That’s a given ……” He had just started his sentence when his mind suddenly jumped to his most recent finger reading result- Nie Chiji.

Su Huanyi’s voice came to a screeching halt, and he hung his head in self-consciousness, no longer arguing with Su Chi.

The goldfish brain was rubbed with pity.

After reading the instruction manual, the group was led through the dimly lit corridor to a large door with a red-painted bronze ring.

The clearance time was two hours, and the walkie-talkie in their hands could be used once for help. Su Huanyi held the walkie-talkie as if he was holding the hopes of the whole village, “Remember to come to me if you need help.”

Liu Qinling rationally said, “I think we should look for Big brother Su first.”

Su Huanyi came to his senses and said, “Oh, that’s right, big brother is a talisman!”

His pronunciation was smooth and coherent, with a rise and fall in pitch. Liu Qinling was confused for a moment, “What…?”

Su Chi directly pushed the red door open. The heavy sound of the door opening interrupted the face-to-face confrontation between the two.

Beyond the door was dimly lit, the environment was simple, and an ancient mansion’s back kitchen was vaguely visible.

In a space of more than twenty square metres, there was a door facing the wall with three large dustpans hanging on the left and heavenly stems engraved on the right. On the floor were piles of firewood and miscellaneous items of all kinds.

After the five people walked in, the door slammed shut behind them, and then the lock clanged from the outside.

Su Huanyi was tense as soon as the door was locked and he hurriedly approached his eldest brother.

Su Chi was calm in the unfamiliar environment. “Let’s first gather clues and then gather for a one-on-one report. The first level is usually not difficult, and we shall be able to get out soon. ”

Su Huanyi glanced up vigilantly, “Don’t set such a flag!”

Su Chi: “…”

Liu Qinling waved her hand, “Ugh… I believe in Big brother Su.” With that, she turned to look around for clues. Su Yu also wandered off to study the heavenly stems carved on the walls.

Seeing this, Su Jianchen immediately joined in, “I’m going to check the stove over there. There’s a disk on it that should be a clue.”

The rest of the group scattered and split up. Su Huanyi glanced at a corner where no one was going and was about to move when his arm was pulled.

As soon as he paused, Su Chi pulled him back to his side. The hem of his clothes swirled around his feet with the movement, and Su Huanyi felt like he was doing a fantasy waltz.

He stood still and steadied himself, “Big brother?”

The room was so dimly lit that they couldn’t see each other’s expressions even when standing so close. Su Chi’s voice was muddled in the darkness, sounding low and faint, “Why are you running? Follow me. ”

Su Huanyi glanced at the other three, all of whom were looking up the details of the room individually, not paying attention to their side.

He then boldly grabbed Su Chi’s hand through the cover of his sleeve and gently poked the latter in the palm-I’ve checked in!

The breath in front of him suddenly became heavy, and Su Huanyi was caught off guard as he was pulled closer. Su Chi held his hand back, his calloused fingers rubbing his wrist. “Was that fun?”

The tingling in his hand was so strong that Su Huanyi felt his strands of hair standing up!

At that moment, the sound of Su Yu and Su Jianchen people talking across the air came from behind them, and it sounded like they were coming toward them.

Su Huanyi hurriedly retracted his hand, “Find clues, we have to find clues…”

Su Chi’s eyes remained fixed on his face for a few seconds, then moved away and let him go for now. “Come, look here.”

There was a wooden cabinet against the wall on one side of the kitchen. Each compartment layer had porcelain bowls and bottles with gaps in between them. The back of the cabinet was against the wall, and Su Huanyi stepped over to check it out. He found a half-finger-wide gap that appeared to be movable.

He tried to push it, but the cabinet wouldn’t budge.

Su Chi took him aside and lifted a bowl to examine its bottom: the bottom of the bowl was painted with a striking color and no pattern could be seen for the moment.

Su Huanyi came over, “Big brother, what is this for?”

The porcelain bowl was put back in place. “Do you think I’m an artificial intelligence, that I can know the answers just by voice input?”

Su Huanyi shyly stuck to him, “You are a talisman…..” The hand under the hem of his shirt was rasped by a large hand, and warm fingertips pinched his palm, “Don’t provoke me outside.”

Su Huanyi skillfully tucked his lips behind his teeth and obediently closed his mouth…

……….

After ten minutes, the people in the chamber converged in the middle, exchanging information they had obtained.

Su Yu said, “There are heavenly stems carved on the right wall with corresponding numbers. There are three circular dustpans on the left wall, with markings on the back when they are turned over. ”

Su Jianchen came to his senses: he could solve this puzzle!

He said, “On the stovetop is a large disk with three layers inside and outside. All are inscribed with heavenly stems, so they should be related to the clue you found. ”

As soon as Su Huanyi heard there was a clue, he immediately turned around and ran to the stovetop to take a look. Su Chi paused for a moment before following him with a turn of his toes.

There was indeed a large disc on top of the stove. The pointer in the centre was facing upwards, and there were three layers of discs that could be rotated. Su Huanyi tried to turn the disc, but the hem of his sleeve kept falling on the surface of the disc and sweeping around, so Su Chi held it in his hand.

He looked to his side and found Su Chi also looking at him.

Su Huanyi suddenly whispered in a small voice, “Big brother, don’t you think we look like–”

Before he could finish his sentence, Su Jianchen suddenly appeared behind him, saying, “Oh, I forgot to mention! The light is not good here, and the plate has some words engraved on it that you can’t see clearly. ”

The two: “….”

There was a momentary stagnation in the atmosphere and Su Jianchen sensed something was wrong. “What’s wrong?”

Su Chi finally spoke, “Nothing. You come close, second brother. Maybe then you can see clearly. ”

A 200 watt *lightbulb, so the lighting effect must be very good.

Su Jianchen was certain, “No, big brother, I already tried!”

Su Yu lazily followed behind and leaned to the side. He had given up on reversing his second brother’s naive character.

Liu Qinling smiled and clapped her hands at the words, “I think I saw a candle lamp. I threw it aside because it had no clue!”

With that, she turned her head and searched.

………

The candle lamp was quickly found. As it was a simulation of an ancient scene, the prop was just made in the shape of a candle lamp, but it was an electronic lighting device. After tinkering for a while, the dimly lit room finally had light!

Liu Qinling held the candle up high, dressed in a long gown, and the bright light reflected on her bright face. “Brothers, look at me…”

Su Huanyi duly complimented, “Like the Statue of Liberty.”

Liu Qinling:”…”

She put down the candle lamp and sighed slightly: if I am at fault, please let the law punish me instead of sending Su Huanyi to suppress me.

Su Yu had a rare moment of kindness as he comforted her, “At least you’re a *goddess.”

Su Jianchen couldn’t catch the point, but he wasn’t far behind, “And you’re free!”

Liu Qinling: “Thank you so much then.”

With the illumination of the candle flame, the small letters on the disc were quickly read. The circle of numbers lined up on the inside of the disc, and Su Chi rested his long fingers on the edge of the table, tapping it twice in thought.

After a few seconds, he suddenly turned and strutted towards the left wall, taking down the three dustpans hanging from it.

The group behind him gathered around him, “What did you think of?”

The dustpans were turned over. With the help of the light, they could see that the back had heavenly stems in faded handwriting and a red bar on the edge of each dustpan.

Su Chi overlapped the three dustpans according to size. The red bars came together in a straight line, and the corresponding heavenly stems were lined up in a row.

Liu Qinling suddenly exclaimed, “Ah, so this is how they are combined!”

Su Chi calmly handed them to Su Jianchen, “Second brother, go and line them up.”

“Oh, okay!”

Su Yu and Liu Qinling followed along and went to decipher, leaving Su Chi and Su Huanyi alone by the wall.

Su Huanyi was a little excited. Even though it was Su Chi who solved the puzzle, he was still stained by some of the reflected light-after all, that’s his boyfriend! Hehe…

“Big brother, you seem like the big boss, solving the riddle without doing it personally. You just stood behind and let the others do it while hiding yourself in a dark little corner. ”

Su Huanyi exclaimed, “How extortive!”

“….” Su Chi looked at the three who had their backs to them and reached out to pinch Su Huanyi’s strands of hair. “Do you think I’m doing this to be pretentious?”

“Then why did you make second brother go?”

“If I don’t send them away, then what? You want them to remain here for lighting?” Su Chi sneered softly, “Move your melon head.”

“Oh.” Su Huanyi obediently shook his head.

Su Chi could not help but praise his superficial thinking.

As the rest of the people were not there, the conversation that had been interrupted before resumed. Su Chi lowered his head and asked him in a low voice, “What did you want to say earlier?”

Su Huanyi looked at the other end to make sure no one was paying attention to them, and he whispered, “I was trying to say that we were like the talents and beauties in ancient times, where I study poetry and you hold my sleeve to grind the ink…”

Su Chi raised an eyebrow and asked, “Are you the genius, and I’m a beauty?”

Su Huanyi dared not challenge his elder brother, saying, “No, no, my focus is that we are happy with each other and compatible.”

Not knowing which word had hit the spot, Su Chi’s fingertips twitched and his breath became heavy. He raised his hand to catch the person who was teasing him at will, but Su Huanyi noticed and ducked to the side, his wide sleeve brushing past Su Chi’s fingertips.

Su Chi suppressed his voice, “Su Huanyi!”

Su Huanyi ran away with his sleeves in his hands, relying on the people not far away.

Ah! I didn’t expect to have a day where I could have one over big brother! So cool!

The figure gradually ran away, swaggering and feeling proud. Su Chi leaned against the wall and took two deep breaths to calm the emotions that had been stirred up.

After a few moments, he stepped up and walked toward the people gathered in front of him.

Lawless, spoiled, and arrogant… Does he think there is no bottom line to my patience?
