It appears that Tang Zhen might have had a romantic involvement with the “beautiful wife” character.
Tang Zhen forced a smile.
If he remembered correctly, the “husband” character in the script was likely here as well. That tall man, with his heavy brows and eyes, came to mind.
“Ahhhh, everyone is laughing at you, my dear! This wife isn’t the first kiss; our baby has already been kissed plenty by others!”
“That’s nonsense! Every kiss with a man is still their first kiss!”
“Stop spreading rumors! My wife is pure and innocent; she’s only ever been with me!”
“Sorry everyone, my wife Yan Chuan and I have already registered our marriage and are about to hold a grand wedding. On this incredibly beautiful day, I want to invite everyone to attend (dog emoji).”
Yan Chuan managed to deflect the awkwardness.
As soon as Shan Qi took his seat and the wheel began to spin again, Yan Chuan’s flushed cheeks finally had a chance to cool down.
The earlier tasks had just been a stroke of bad luck for him, but Shan Qi’s was entirely intentional.
Not only did he choose Yan Chuan, but he also made him kiss himself in front of everyone.
The lips were still slightly swollen, and Yan Chuan gently touched them with his fingertips.
It hurt.
There was also a subtle, slightly stimulating itch.
Yan Chuan furrowed his delicate brows.
Shan Qi had just kissed him like he was mad, sucking on his lips carefully and even trying to insert his tongue, producing a wet sound.
Just thinking about it made Yan Chuan’s cheeks heat up again.
He had no idea why Shan Qi suddenly went wild; he didn’t even care that they were still in the villa.
Yan Chuan didn’t dare to look at anyone else’s expressions, instead lowering his gaze to the pristine tablecloth, feeling a bit resigned.
It wasn’t just Shan Qi he recognized at the table; Tang Zhen was also there, along with even the “husband” from the first script…
Yan Chuan felt an inexplicable sense of bad luck.
Who else had to do tasks and often run into previous NPCs?
Fortunately, their game with the spinning wheel hadn’t ended yet, and the earlier kissing incident had become an unspoken little interlude.
After the sound of the wheel stopped, Tang Zhen’s task gradually appeared.
“When was the last time you used an item, and under what circumstances?”
Truth or dare.
Yan Chuan let out a sigh of relief.
A simple inquiry about the use of an item… it’s unlikely to lead to another embarrassing moment like before, right?
Yan Chuan shifted his gaze toward Tang Zhen.
This was the first time since entering the villa that he looked at Tang Zhen so openly.
Previously, due to the awkwardness of “meeting familiar faces” and Shan Qi being present, Yan Chuan’s gaze toward Tang Zhen held a hint of avoidance.
After all, no one would expect that former “secret lovers” could gather in such a situation.
Tang Zhen still looked the same.
Witty and warm, his eyes always held a twinkle of amusement, making him seem easy to approach.
But at that moment, he was staring down at the spinning wheel, head bowed, his superior profile cast in a delicate shadow.
Seemingly displeased, his expression was tense, robbing him of his usual gentleness.
Could it be that he was mistaken?
Yan Chuan blinked, lost in thought, while Tang Zhen began to answer the question.
“The last time I used an item…” The handsome man quickly brought out a smile, like a breath of spring, even his tone lifted slightly: “was when I played the underground lover of the wife character in a script.”
Tang Zhen spoke slowly, deliberately, but Yan Chuan sensed something was off.
Playing the underground lover of the wife character in the script…?
Wasn’t that the same script, [Apartment No. 13], he was involved with?
Could it be that Tang Zhen played such similar roles in different scripts?
Yan Chuan’s heart skipped a beat.
Tang Zhen continued,
“It was a supernatural script with many participants, featuring numerous characters.” He explained carefully: “The contestants become various residents, facing random ghosts that appear in the script together.”
“I received the role of the wife’s musician who was secretly in love. My financial situation was poor, and I could only afford to live in a small room near the wife’s home, watching her intimately interact with her husband…”
Tang Zhen’s detailed recounting included the context of the script.
The other people at the table didn’t seem to notice how the relationship between the beautiful wife and her husband related to Tang Zhen’s task; Jiang Qi asked with interest: “Were the beautiful wife and her husband both NPCs?”
Tang Zhen shook his head.
“No,” he said, “her husband is an NPC; one of them is a ghost, but he isn’t.”
The “he” was clearly referring to the beautiful wife.
However, Jiang Qi sensed something was amiss.
“One of them?”
“You’d better not be talking about the script that involves my baby being the underground lover.”
“I’m really going to die laughing; two underground lovers have come, and even the dead husband is here. This isn’t a special variety show; it’s a victims’ meeting of romance scams…”
“Suddenly, I feel so sorry for Baby’s dead husband; every time, there’s a chance that he gets ntr’d…”
“It doesn’t matter who it is; only by being a devoted follower can you win over your wife!”
Tang Zhen nodded.
“Yes,” he patiently explained, “in the setup of the script, the beautiful wife has had two husbands before.”
“One is her original husband, and the other is the one who had an affair, leading to the death of her original husband.” Tang Zhen’s tone was calm: “The husband who was murdered is one of the ghosts in the script, and there are other ghosts among the residents as well.”
Jiang Qi raised his eyebrows in surprise.
“So, you’re saying that the wife is a contestant in the script?” Jiang Qi pondered for a moment: “Does that mean she needs to deal with the complications from two NPCs?”
Tang Zhen nodded.
