    Chapter 25 The game begins

    Zhou Ziheng brought three bowls of noodles to the restaurant, along with fried eggs and bacon.

    “There are really few things in the refrigerator, so just eat whatever you want.”

    Xia Xiuze was very excited, “It smells so good!” He took off his school uniform jacket and sat on a chair at the dining table. He picked the largest portion and placed it in front of him. He held a chopstick in one hand and tapped the table happily, “Thank you, Brother Ziheng.”

    Zhou Ziheng smiled in response.He was thinking about calling him Xia Xiqing, but now the two of him were like rivals who had just spoken harsh words on the field, and they didn’t know how to approach him.Zhou Ziheng simply gave up and sat at the dining table.

    Xia Xiqing walked from the living room to the dining room, smelling heavily of cigarettes. He lowered his head and took a bite of noodles without saying a word. Then he raised his head and smiled at Zhou Ziheng, “It’s delicious.”

    Zhou Ziheng was stunned, and poked the noodles with the hand holding the chopsticks. He is not good at accepting compliments from others. Even though he has been in this industry since he was a child, he still subconsciously finds various self-effacing lines when he encounters praise.

    “No, there are too few materials. Next time…”

    Next time?

    As soon as these two words were spoken, Zhou Ziheng ended in a hurry.This time it was all put together temporarily, there is no next time.

    Xia Xiqing laughed softly, lowered his head and ate the noodles quietly.

    When it comes to IQ, Zhou Ziheng is an unrivaled genius.But when it comes to relationships, he is a blank slate, inexperienced and always caught off guard.

    A fledgling heart thief carefully climbed over the eaves and walls. When he succeeded, before he had time to celebrate, he was tripped by the eaves and fell hard.

    Xia Xiqing really couldn’t think of any possibility that he would be overturned in the hands of such a person. If such a low-probability event really happened, it would be in vain that he had been swimming in this troubled water for so many years.

    Since we have said harsh things to each other, I am a scumbag, you are not afraid of scumbags, I bet you will fall in love with me, and you are sure that you will never be tempted, it means that this risky game can finally begin.He no longer has to hide and tuck in, he can attack and assault with confidence and boldness.

    Thinking about it this way, the injustice in my heart seemed to be getting better. I couldn’t tell whether it was because of self-comfort or because of this hot bowl of noodles that warmed my heart.

    “Ah! Brother, your show is about to start!” Xia Xiuze ran to the living room with a bowl of noodles in his hand, and not long after, he shouted at the other end, “Brother! How do you turn on the TV?!”

    After finishing the last bite, Xia Xiqing rolled his eyes, took out his phone and clicked on it, then threw it back on the table.

    “Okay! It’s open!”

    The relationship between the two brothers was really strange and funny. Just as Zhou Ziheng was thinking about it, Xia Xiuze, who came running back again, dragged him to the sofa in the living room, “Brother Ziheng, let’s watch it together.”

    “I have to go back…”

    “Don’t go back!” Xia Xiuze pressed him on the sofa, “Do you still have a job?”

    “Not today…”

    “That’s alright!” Xia Xiuze sat next to he and crossed his legs. “You stay with me for a while. I’m afraid I won’t understand. Just tell me. Anyway, if you want to go back, you just have to open two doors.”

    This guy is so smooth-talking… Zhou Ziheng couldn’t find anything to refute for a while, and was convinced by him.

    Not only he, Xia Xiqing also fell under Xia Xiuze’s invincible stalking skills.In this way, the three of them sat on the same row of sofas in a subtle atmosphere and watched “Escape”.The program first aired a prelude, which was about the process of the staff building a secret room and blindfolding the guests and leading them into the secret room.

    Not long after the start, Xia Xiuze, who was sitting in the middle, moved his butt forward and slid onto the carpet.

    “What are you doing?”

    “I like to sit on the floor.” Xia Xiuze turned his head with a smile. He didn’t stop for a moment after eating the noodles. While watching TV, he turned his head and asked Zhou Ziheng questions about various programs.

    “Brother Ziheng, do you have a script?”

    “The script…is available, but some of our guests did not get the script. It seems that the guest who played the killer did.”

    “Then is your room really fully enclosed? Isn’t it just a show?”

    “Hmm…”

    “Have you tried picking the lock? I know how to pick it…” Before he could finish speaking, Xia Xiqing kicked Xia Xiuze on the back and said with an impatient look, “Shut up.”

    “I’m just asking,” Xia Xiqing moved her butt towards Zhou Ziheng, looking aggrieved.At the end of the pre-roll, the first shot of the main film is the scene where Zhou Ziheng is tied to an office chair.

    “Wow, brother Ziheng is so handsome.”

    Zhou Ziheng was used to seeing his face on the TV, but he was a little nervous at the moment and couldn’t explain why.The camera switched from He’s face to Xia Xiqing’s face. He’s hair was half-tied, and he was wearing that familiar white shirt. His eyes were covered by black eye masks, and there was no unnecessary expression on his delicate face.

    The shot only included He’s upper body, but Zhou Ziheng couldn’t help but start to recall the scene at that time, the hands bound by silver handcuffs, and the white ankles going down the rope.

    “Brother looks good too!” Xia Xiuze’s words broke his imagination beyond the camera.

    The Xia Xiqing in his impression, the Xia Xiqing in the camera, and the Xia Xiqing who was beside him at the moment were obviously the same person, but Zhou Ziheng always felt that there was something different.

    Can’t help but want to take a glance.

    Xia Xiqing was half-lying on the sofa watching the show. To be more precise, he was watching Zhou Ziheng in the camera. Compared with the current he, he really hated himself when he first recorded the show. No matter how he used an actor’s ethics to cover up and disguise, he would always inadvertently detect he’s defense and hostility towards himself in the camera.But now he doesn’t seem to hate himself so much.

    Thinking like this, he couldn’t help but turn his face slightly, looking for that face, but he collided with his gaze tacitly and unpreparedly.

    It was too coincidental, too short-lived, and sparks flew out from both ends of the collision.

    Zhou Ziheng glanced over hastily, pretending to be calm and looking at the TV screen. The screen was no longer in their room, but in Ruan Xiao’s room.

    “Brother Ziheng, aren’t you a killer?” Xia Xiuze finally couldn’t help but start to seek clues from the two leading actors. If this was just an ordinary suspense reality show, he would have quietly started analyzing the clues and immersing himself in the situation. But now that the two guests on the TV were sitting in front of him, how could he sit still.

    “Brother Ziheng, I didn’t understand the password just now. What’s going on?”

    “Ah! I know that, Morse code! But I don’t remember the correspondence. Let me check…”

    “Oh, it’s all my fault that I just checked the meter and didn’t see this section. How did this sister find this? Brother Ziheng…”

    Xia Xiqing finally couldn’t bear it anymore, so he hooked Xia Xiuze’s neck, clamped his head on his elbow, and spoke word by word with a “kind” smile on his face.

    “The killer is Shang Sirui.”

    “I was killed by he.”

    “In the end, Zhou Ziheng was the first to escape.”

    After saying that, he let go of his hand, and Xia Xiuze fell straight to the ground while still holding his knees. The meaning of the entire program, as well as Xiaoxia’s three views, were shattered by Xia Xiqing’s three cruel spoilers.

    “Ah!!! Why are you so cruel! Are you a devil???” Xia Xiuze rolled around on the wool carpet, kicking the air with his feet as if to vent his anger, “I hate you!!!”

    Looking at these two childish people, Zhou Ziheng couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth. Something seemed to be pulling him in his heart, asking him to take a look at the person next to him.

    In the end, the peripheral vision followed the thoughts in his heart and drifted to Xia Xiqing. What surprised Zhou Ziheng was that Xia Xiqing was leaning on the sofa, his eyes were bent into two crescent moons, and his smile was different from the previous one. There was a sense of satisfaction and cunning of a successful prank.This was the first time Zhou Ziheng saw such a childish smile on Xia Xiqing’s face.

    “I don’t want to see you again. You’ve gone too far. I want to go home and see for myself.”

    Xia Xiqing, who had his arms crossed across his chest, stretched out a hand and waved towards Xia Xiuze’s back, “Walk slowly without seeing him off.”

    Seeing that his brother showed no nostalgia at all, Xia Xiuze became even more angry. He grabbed his schoolbag at the entrance and opened the door angrily. He stood at the door for a long time without moving, as if he was brewing something.

    “Hey, I’m asking you to leave or not.” Xia Xiqing lazily turned up the TV volume, “Please close the door.”

    Zhou Ziheng has been hesitating whether to drive the child home, and he is always a little worried.

    After thinking for a long time, he was finally ready to speak, “Well… how about I give it away…”

    “Ah, ah, spoilers will kill the whole family!” Xia Xiuze suddenly cursed in a shocking voice, then ran out quickly and closed the door with a bang.

    Xia Xiqing was so angry that she laughed, “What’s wrong? I have nothing to do and I can curse myself…”

    These two brothers are really… Zhou Ziheng sighed funnyly but helplessly, and his eyes finally returned to the TV screen.By coincidence, the scene returned to the room between he and Xia Xiqing again. This scene was exactly the scene where Xia Xiqing cracked the Morse code in “Mirror Suite”. The perspective of the TV was completely different from that of he at the scene. It should be the camera placed near the mirror.

    From the front view, Xia Xiqing, whose hands were handcuffed, raised his leg, kicked the mirror to pieces, and then slowly pulled it back, decisive and calm, but for some reason, the editing was very good, the production was very sophisticated, and even the BGM matching the program was just right, but Zhou Ziheng always felt that something was missing.

    It’s impossible to recreate the shock of being in the secret room and witnessing Xia Xiqing kicking the mirror to pieces.

    Xia Xiqing’s eyes were fixed on the TV screen, watching as he raised his handcuffed hands in front of Zhou Ziheng.

    “Do you know?” Zhou Ziheng suddenly said, “What I was thinking at the time was, how about I take the key away now? Xia Xiqing is so cunning, it seems safer if I have the key in hand.” He looked at Xia Xiqing and smiled very candidly, “At least I have a handle.”

    Xia Xiqing looked at Zhou Ziheng expressionlessly, his slightly curved eyes, the upturned corners of his mouth, and the white teeth exposed when he spoke. The deep outlines and refreshing temperament made people think of the snow-white roofs along the Aegean Sea.

    “I always thought you were the killer, so I was very guarded.” Zhou Ziheng turned his head and looked at himself on the screen accepting Xia Xiqing’s request, lowering his head to help him unlock the handcuffs.

    He’s voice was very soft, “Actually, it was because of you that I was able to come out smoothly in the end.”

    There seemed to be a lake next to my ears, and a round pebble fell down and gradually sank.Xia Xiqing looked at Zhou Ziheng on the screen who lowered his head slightly, almost ten centimeters away from him.

    “Do you know what I was thinking at that time?”

    Zhou Ziheng turned his head and looked at Xia Xiqing’s side face. The changing light from the TV reflected into his pupils, like glass balls with a strange luster, “What?”

    “What I’m thinking is…” Xia Xiqing, who was watching the TV motionlessly, suddenly turned around, stretched out his hand around Zhou Ziheng’s back, touched the back of his head, and moved his whole body close to him, and the distance between his faces instantly became a short distance.

    Once again, I was surrounded and invaded by the familiar scent of perfume.

    Before Zhou Ziheng’s brain could function well, Xia Xiqing stretched out his other hand to hold his chin.

    “Your face is really suitable for kissing.”

    After saying that, he turned his face and kissed her.

    For some reason, the alarm in Zhou Ziheng’s heart was delayed, and he was almost paralyzed when Xia Xiqing approached.It wasn’t until Xia Xiqing kissed him for real that the whistle in his head suddenly woke up.

    Xia Xiqing must be crazy!

    He tried to push away, but it had the opposite effect. Xia Xiqing’s hand grasped tighter, and the tip of his tongue stuck out almost semi-forcedly, lust and aggression merged into one.In He’s eyes, kiss should have been the most tender thing in the world, but now it became Xia Xiqing’s weapon to conquer the city.

    Xia Xiqing also felt that he was crazy. He just wanted to do this. The desire in his heart was so urgent that he was like a robber with a knife, forcing his body to do everything that could satisfy him.Licking, entangled, sucking, the closer he gets, the more he desires more. No matter how Zhou Ziheng pushes his shoulders, he is unwilling to give up, but wants to get closer.

    The kiss between two men is a tug of war with no outcome.

    The temperature rises rapidly between the intimate friction and the rapid exchange of breaths, intensifying the thick musky scent of he perfume.He was obviously a veteran in love, but Xia Xiqing became flustered under Zhou Ziheng’s resistance, and kept his lips and tongue in his mouth without any structure. However, seeing his forbearing eyebrows aroused a stronger fire, making him feel hot all over.

    Zhou Ziheng frowned, Xia Xiqing’s hand was like a smooth and cold snake, brushing against his Adam’s apple and snaking downwards, sliding in through the black windbreaker. He suddenly woke up and grabbed Xia Xiqing’s wrist forcefully, but no matter how hard he tried, the other party refused to repent or give up. He even straddled him with his legs crossed, trying to suppress him.

    It’s crazy!

    When he was dizzy, Xia Xiqing suddenly felt a fishy-sweet smell filling his mouth. The delayed pain made him frown and his movements became sluggish. Zhou Ziheng took advantage of the situation and pushed him down, holding his hands and pressing them firmly on the sofa.

    He couldn’t help panting, and his thick eyelashes were covered with misty beads of sweat. The Xia Xiqing in his eyes was different from before. His pale face was slightly flushed due to emotion, and blood oozed from his bitten lip, and some kind of gorgeous flower seemed to bloom in the wound.

    “You’re crazy…” Zhou Ziheng’s breathing subsided slightly, but his chest was still rising and falling, unable to cover up the throbbing before.

    Xia Xiqing suddenly laughed, his teeth stained bright red, “I was originally a madman.”

    This look is like that of a tortured drug addict.

    “You said you weren’t afraid.”
