At first, Chu Huai was just trying his luck, but he actually got results.
Considering the strange behavior of number 27 in the second round, he made a decisive decision without hesitation.
The indifference of number 35 proved that the touch in the first round was fake, even though he clearly felt Jin Tianyi’s watch on the wrist of number 35.
Combined with the fact that he has proven that his hearing is fake, then the remaining senses of smell and sight must be real. So the strong and fresh smell of blood he smelled before was real.
The smell of blood was slightly salty, not foul, and was very different from the smell of the other ghosts.
The loudspeaker remained silent, but Chu Huai felt no fear. He couldn’t have chosen wrong. His senses had not yet fully recovered, and he waited quietly in the darkness for the results to come out.
Jin Tianyi was surprised at how quickly and decisively Chu Huai made his choice, and he smiled.
Chu Huai must have figured out a clue.
Finally, the loudspeaker crackled and spoke: “Congratulations to tasker Chu Huai for choosing correctly, selecting a human…”
Chu Huai interrupted impatiently: “Just say it’s Jin Tianyi.”
“It’s me.” Jin Tianyi walked out, smiling and answering for the loudspeaker from behind.
The ban on Chu Huai’s confirmation was completely lifted at that moment.
“How did you find me?”
Chu Huai turned to look for him, feeling a bit proud. “Not bad, right?”
His vision gradually restored, from initially only being able to see the outline of Jin Tianyi’s body to clearly seeing his entire face.
Chu Huai felt a sense of inexplicable peace in his heart.
Jin Tianyi smiled: “I told you, you would choose correctly.” He never doubted it.
“How did you find me so quickly?” Jin Tianyi asked.
Chu Huai paused, turned around, and said: “Secret.”
Jin Tianyi’s voice was hoarse, and Chu Huai noticed that he had hidden his left hand behind him.
It was then that Chu Huai remembered that the second round had a strong smell of blood, and he could only imagine the condition of the part of Jin Tianyi’s sleeve that was covering it.
Chu Huai hesitated for a moment, thinking that if Jin Tianyi hadn’t caused that bloody smell in the second round, would he have eliminated him immediately?
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly tightened.
Without Jin Tianyi’s hint, he wouldn’t have realized the problem so quickly. If he had eliminated Jin Tianyi in the second round, he still had a good chance of picking someone to leave alive. But what about Jin Tianyi…
Chu Huai fell into a daze.
The darkness disappeared, and the conveyor belt suddenly disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them were back at the door of “The Book of Sexual Psychology”.
At this time, the bloody words appeared in the minds of all the task participants: “Task participants Chu Huai and Jin Tianyi have completed all the projects first and can immediately go to the gate to take the bus and leave. It is now 2:50 in the morning, and there is only one hour and ten minutes left before the amusement park closes. Please speed up if you haven’t completed the tasks, so as not to miss the opportunity.”
“Let me see,” Chu Huai pointed to the hand behind Jin Tianyi: “Isn’t it painful?”
With so much bleeding, Jin Tianyi seemed indifferent as if nothing had happened.
After careful consideration, Jin Tianyi smiled and said: “If you feel sorry for me, I’ll say it hurts. If you don’t feel sorry for me, then I won’t say it hurts. As for the five points of affection and ninety-five points of trust… well, I still won’t say it hurts.”
Chu Huai instantly exploded: “That must be fake!”
He felt that he wasn’t that low in self-esteem. At least ten points, fifteen points should be expected, right?
Chu Huai felt a bit guilty and said softly: “You know… five points of affection and ninety-five points of trust, that’s a total of one hundred points.”

“What’s there to be afraid of?” Jin Tianyi snorted and asked with a meaningful smile: “Are they as great as me?”
Chu Huai was at a loss for words.
Jin Tianyi leaned in and grabbed Chu Huai’s hand, biting his ear and saying: “Actually, I really want to… in the first round of physical contact…”
He looked down meaningfully, his smile suggestive.
“Stop it!” Chu Huai quickly withdrew his hand, feeling his face getting hot at the thought of some inappropriate things.
He couldn’t believe he was acting all shy and timid like a girl around a man every day.
When they arrived back at the apartment, Sun Jiamu was downstairs and saw the two of them entering. He paused for a moment and sneered: “Has Luo Ziyang died?”
Luo Ziyang and Ye Yuan’s project hadn’t finished yet, so they hadn’t returned.
“Not dead,” Chu Huai said coldly, looking at him with disgust at his petty and self-satisfied expression.
He understood the feelings of everyone who came to the apartment, but Sun Jiamu’s behavior was really nauseating.
“He will outlive you,” said Sun Jiamu with a sneer, and then he went upstairs.
In the apartment, Chu Huai found the painting that belonged to Zhou Xiuwen and Dong Anya on the judgment wall, and he was momentarily stunned.
In the painting, Zhou Xiuwen held a knife to the neck of a stranger, while Dong Anya hid outside.
She clearly saw the situation inside through the window but pretended not to know, tightly closed her eyes, and covered her ears with her hands.
Chu Huai tried to digest it. Did Zhou Xiuwen kill someone? Dong Anya knew, but deceived herself by covering her ears…
It didn’t matter anymore what had happened.
An hour later, Ye Yuan and Luo Ziyang returned, accompanied by two new people.
Luo Ziyang took care of settling them in.
Before Chu Huai took a shower, he gathered everyone and stole a glance at Jin Tianyi, then cleared his throat. “During dinner… I have something to announce.”
Jin Tianyi’s pitch-black eyes flashed with surprise, then his lips curled up. Was Chu Huai going to be open and honest now? He couldn’t wait.
Luo Ziyang thought something serious had happened and looked worried. “Is it something serious? JiaoJiao, if you have any issues, you must speak up and we’ll solve them together…”
“No, no,” Chu Huai hurriedly said: “it’s just… a very small matter, trivial.”
Just… he was just a man, after all.
Luo Ziyang was relieved.
At dinner time, when Luo Ziyang went to Chu Huai’s room and opened the door, he was stunned.
There was a man leaning against the wall, with a refined and elegant temperament.
The man had a slender figure, which made him look particularly spirited.
His features were handsome, with fair skin that resembled marble in texture. His hair was a light warm color, but his pupils were extremely dark and deep.
When he saw someone enter, the man lifted his thick and dark eyelashes, revealing a meaningful smile at Luo Ziyang.
“Hey handsome, who are you…?” Luo Ziyang was taken aback for a moment.
Could he be one of the newbies who survived in the horror amusement park? But why didn’t Chu Jiao and the boss mention him before?
Moreover, this person looked a bit like Chu Jiao the more he looked at him.
Luo Ziyang swallowed and rubbed his eyes to take a closer look. The more he looked, the more he thought he resembled Chu Jiao. He couldn’t help but feel amazed.
Luo Ziyang became a little guarded and walked in, trying to test: “Do you know Chu Jiao…?”
Chu Huai nodded with a smile, innocently saying: “I know her.”
Luo Ziyang handed him a cigarette, and Chu Huai took it smoothly with a smile, saying: “My name is Chu Huai.”
He’s also surnamed Chu? Luo Ziyang was confused.
Luo Ziyang cleared his throat and regained his composure, introducing himself and asking: “What’s your relationship with Chu Jiao? Where is she?”
Chu Huai smiled playfully: “Chu Jiao is my… younger sister.”
Luo Ziyang exclaimed: “Oh,” and immediately became friendly with Chu Huai, patting him on the shoulder and offering him a cigarette. But Chu Huai waved his hand to indicate that he didn’t smoke.
“No wonder you two look so alike. I knew it, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.”
“We’re fraternal twins.” Chu Huai continued to talk nonsense with his eyes wide open.
Luo Ziyang nodded, expressing regret, and sighed,
“You and your siblings are really pitiful. First JiaoJiao, who is so delicate, and now the world is not satisfied with just her, they even dragged her brother into this mess.”
“Your family’s genes are really good,”
Luo Ziyang suddenly approached mysteriously: “Do you have any more sisters? Introduce me to one!”
Chu Huai suppressed a smile and said: “Yes…”
He was about to continue when he caught sight of Jin Tianyi and Ye Yuan, who had entered together.
Luo Ziyang patted Chu Huai’s shoulder and pointed excitedly at Jin Tianyi: “Your brother-in-law is here!”
Chu Huai’s face stiffened, and Jin Tianyi looked over in their direction. Their eyes met in mid-air, and Chu Huai pretended to be calm as he looked away, while Jin Tianyi narrowed his eyes slightly.
Brother-in-law? Great. New and old grievances can be settled together.
“Take your hand off,” Jin Tianyi’s face darkened, suddenly speaking.
Chu Huai was momentarily stunned before realizing that Jin Tianyi was talking to Luo Ziyang, whose hand was still on his shoulder.
Did he recognize me? So quickly? Chu Huai was surprised.
Isn’t Luo Ziyang’s reaction the normal one?
Chu Huai couldn’t predict Jin Tianyi’s response, but he couldn’t worry about it now. He couldn’t let himself be further entangled in this mess. He had his own concerns, and the ghost inside him had completely disappeared.
There had been no signs of it lately. He had initially only pretended to be close to Jin Tianyi to suppress the ghost. Now there was really no reason to continue doing so, and it wouldn’t be fair to delay Jin Tianyi either. He couldn’t pretend forever.
Most importantly, he had been unexpectedly revealed by the book “Book of Sexual Psychology”. Instead of waiting for Jin Tianyi to figure it out and come after him for revenge, it would be better for him to confess and put an end to it.
He would make up for Jin Tianyi’s losses.
Luo Ziyang looked around nervously and suddenly shivered.
“Boss, are you talking to me? I should take my hand off?”
“Of course,” Jin Tianyi said coldly.
Luo Ziyang looked bewildered as he moved his hand away, unable to understand the tense atmosphere between them. His expression seemed to suggest that he wanted to tear Chu Jiao’s brother, Chu Huai, apart limb by limb.
Luo Ziyang thought that they had some unresolved issues or misunderstandings from their previous team battle, so he approached Chu Huai with the intention to mediate.
“Chu Huai, this is your sister Chu Jiao’s boyfriend,” Luo Ziyang said with a grin. “Isn’t he a talented guy? He’s at least 1.8 meters tall, even taller than you. Look at his face, his legs, his chest muscles. Chu Jiao and him are a perfect match, a match made in heaven. If Chu Jiao is with him, she’ll definitely be happy!”
Ye Yuan covered his face, realizing the situation, and really wanted to tell Luo Ziyang to shut up.
Chu Huai forced a smile and also wanted to tell Luo Ziyang to shut up.
Jin Tianyi’s gaze locked onto Chu Huai, deep and intense, making Chu Huai feel uneasy.
Luo Ziyang had a weak sense of crisis and pulled Jin Tianyi, gesturing desperately with his eyes.
“What are you still standing there for?! Call him brother-in-law!” Luo Ziyang said anxiously.
Jin Tianyi raised an eyebrow and smirked, looking at Chu Huai with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile. “Brother-in-law?”
Chu Huai’s heart skipped a beat.
“That’s right!” Luo Ziyang said with satisfaction.
Jin Tianyi casually inserted his hand into his pocket and took a lazy step forward, making a cracking knuckles motion.
Luo Ziyang was shocked, thinking: “Oh my god, are they going to fight?!”
Although Jin Tianyi sometimes joked and threatened people, he was actually a gentleman. If they had to resort to physical violence, their grudge must be really deep!
Ye Yuan sighed and dragged Luo Ziyang away.
Chu Huai instinctively wanted to step back, but then thought: “Who’s afraid of whom?” He stopped and sneered.
“Are you going to fight? Sure, why not? I owe you, so go ahead and hit me. I won’t fight back.”
Using fists to resolve matters among men can indeed be a good choice.
Chu Huai stood straight, chin raised slightly, ignoring the slight throbbing pain and bitterness deep in his heart, and put on an indifferent expression.
Jin Tianyi, however, stared at his snow-white neck and well-shaped clavicle, his eyes deepening.
Jin Tianyi raised an eyebrow. “Not fighting back?”
“Mm,” Chu Huai responded lightly. He had gotten used to it over the years, not afraid of pain.
Jin Tianyi stared at him.
“Don’t hesitate,” Chu Huai provoked, urging directly.
He was a swindler, and he had expected this outcome long ago. Could Jin Tianyi really pity him and not lay a hand on him?
“F*ck! Gentlemen settle disputes with words, not fists!”
Luo Ziyang was about to rush forward to stop the fight but was quickly held back by Ye Yuan.
“Don’t get involved, Xiao Luo,” Chu Huai frowned and said lightly.
Jin Tianyi pushed him roughly against the wall. Chu Huai thought it would hurt when the back of his head hit the wall, but the expected pain did not come. Jin Tianyi had used his hand to cushion the impact on the back of his head.
Luo Ziyang screamed, struggling desperately with Ye Yuan: “Let go of me, damn it!” It didn’t seem like they were just messing around! If they really fought, Big Boss and Chu Jiao would be in trouble!
Jin Tianyi’s pitch-black pupils clashed with Chu Huai’s clear eyes, with a hint of ferocity.
Chu Huai was still a little scared of the impending pain, so he closed his eyes.
But Jin Tianyi’s kiss… fell.
“Don’t fight…” The rest of Luo Ziyang’s words were stuck in his throat, and he stood there dumbfounded.
Wow, kiss! Right behind dumb teammate
Thank you for your translation 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
I’m still so surprised Dong Anya’s story ended so quickly and the way it did. She thought Chu Huai died and her first reaction is to commit suicide?? I get that her ex died and maybe it had something to do with her husband, but it kind of felt like the moral of her story is that she has to take responsibility for her ex’s feelings for her and I don’t agree with that. She wasn’t in love and broke up properly to stay a new relationship, she didn’t do anything wrong unless I’m missing a subtle somewhere.
I agreed with you…but from that portrait we know that Dong Anya knew that her husband killed her ex-lover and kept silent about the murder
i think the moral of her story was that she was very selfish? play blind to her partner killing her ex, and also forcing suicide on her partner also
Ackkkk– 🤭
Your name…… is freaking amazing 🥹
Where is it from?
