Yan Chuan caught a glimpse of the tattoo on the back of the man’s hand.
It was the image of a clown.
Yan Chuan frowned slightly.
Number Three… is also a contestant, or an NPC?
However, Yan Chuan was quickly distracted by others around him.
He saw an incredibly familiar face.
With handsome features and gentle peach blossom eyes, the man’s gaze felt as if it were filled with deep affection.
The man sat down in the Number Five seat directly opposite Yan Chuan.
He didn’t say anything but stared at Yan Chuan with a hint of a smile.
“Long time no see,” the man greeted Yan Chuan, his expression warm as if meeting an old friend.
Yan Chuan’s expression, however, was not good at all.
It was clear that the man seated opposite, Dan Qi, also recognized him.
He tugged at the corner of his mouth and exclaimed, “Tang Zhen?”
“What are you doing here?”
Yan Chuan: …
Great, his two lovers from the first script were meeting again.
Before he could scrutinize the expressions of Tang Zhen and Dan Qi further, the seat next to him was pulled out.
A young man with platinum-dyed hair, an eyebrow piercing, and a lazy, defiant expression took a seat.
The author has something to say:
Does anyone still remember him?
Chapter 86: Special Variety Show 2
Young, with platinum-dyed hair and an eyebrow piercing.
Yan Chuan stole a glance at the young man’s lazy yet handsome face but looked away before their eyes met.
It was Keli.
From the script “Live Battle,” he was the gaming streamer who had previously livestreamed with Yan Chuan.
He was also one of the potential “boyfriends.”
The clock ticked away as Yan Chuan lowered his eyelids and stared at the white cloth covering the table.
He intended to keep a low profile, hiding his face and only showing a small portion of his beautiful, pale face.
However, a gaze fell squarely on him.
Coming from the Number Two seat, it was a fish that had once lingered in his pond.
Not to mention the two “secret lovers” across from him.
Suddenly, Yan Chuan felt an uneasy premonition.
Were there really this many acquaintances in this hall…?
He sensed something was off when he saw Tang Zhen, but he did not expect his luck to be so terrible.
Tang Zhen, as a contestant from the escape variety show, was randomly assigned to be in the same group as him, which was fine. But what about this NPC in front of him…?
Yan Chuan sat upright in the Number One seat, but his mood became increasingly strange.
Although Keli was staring at him, he remained silent, his lips pressed firmly together, leaving Yan Chuan unable to determine whether he recognized him or not.
Did he still remember this cross-dressing streamer, who had once invited him to livestream and appeared as a “romantic interest” in the broadcast?
Yan Chuan tightened his brow even more.
Not to mention why an NPC could appear, but if Keli still retained his original memories… wouldn’t that be quite awkward?
The young man in the Number Two seat simply stared at him, frowning as he assessed him from head to toe.
Yan Chuan’s cheeks grew hot.
He would rather Keli act like a silly boy again, charging in to express his thoughts directly, than face this current situation.
He had to guess whether this person remembered him.
Did he remember that he was once one of the “victims”…
Each contestant in the hall was tense and on edge, fearful of being punished for taking the wrong seat.
Most of the people randomly matched to his team displayed mixed expressions of surprise and disbelief.
Yan Chuan was no different; a few people were silent, but several gazes turned toward him at the same time.
He didn’t even need to look up to know who was watching him.
Yan Chuan thought vaguely that this special variety show was indeed too extraordinary.
About five minutes later, the screen stopped scrolling the matching results.
The contestants in the hall had already taken their seats.
But there was still one person missing from the long table.
Yan Chuan was in the Number One seat, Keli was in the Number Two seat, and the Number Three seat was occupied by an unfamiliar long-haired man.
Dan Qi was seated opposite him, in the Number Four seat, facing him directly.
Tang Zhen appeared calm and collected, a smile lingering at the corner of his mouth as he observed Yan Chuan with keen interest.
He was in the Number Five seat, while the Number Six seat remained empty.
Time passed minute by minute, and Yan Chuan scanned the room, realizing that their table was missing one person.
Where was the sixth person?
The invitation specified six-person teams, and the matching results displayed six people earlier; it was impossible to be one short.
So, was the sixth person not here, or was there some other situation?
Yan Chuan pondered, sensing that things were not looking good.
The invitation’s mention of the roulette game clearly required six people to play together. With one person missing, they’d definitely be unable to participate.
In such a scenario, how would the escape variety show arrange them?
After another two or three minutes, the people at other tables also noticed that the long table was missing one person.
In contrast to other fully seated long tables, the empty seat here felt particularly conspicuous.
Yan Chuan felt his expression must look quite peculiar.
It wasn’t concern but rather the kind of ambivalence that comes from knowing the outcome yet dreading to face it.
Yan Chuan glanced again at the vacant Number Six seat.
Both Dan Qi and Tang Zhen were present, and even the NPC from the second script had shown up. The next person wouldn’t be someone he “knew,” would it?
Yan Chuan did not know, only furrowing his brows tighter as time passed and anxiety rose.
God knows how many individuals he had envisioned by now.
Dan Qi glanced at Tang Zhen, then at Yan Chuan’s expression, seemingly understanding something.
