    Chapter 7 Negotiation Expert

    Hearing Xia Xiqing’s words, Zhou Ziheng was stunned. Although he still didn’t speak, his accelerated heartbeat could not deceive anyone.

    He narrowed his eyes slightly and saw that Xia Xiqing in front of him was still facing him straightly. After a moment of stalemate, he asked again: “Is your mouth sealed? That’s okay. Just help me take off the cloth.”

    Xia Xiqing’s tone was so firm that it was almost impossible to refuse. Zhou Ziheng turned his neck and thought in silence for a while.

    To be honest, he didn’t want to deal with this person at all.

    But… they have been frozen like this, and neither of them can get out, not to mention that this is a program recording, so we can’t make it difficult for the program crew.

    After struggling for a while, Zhou Ziheng had no choice but to give up watching the show.

    He put his feet on the ground and turned the swivel office chair he was sitting on so that his body faced the long table. There was a white porcelain vase with a bunch of white anus placed very close to it.Zhou Ziheng struggled to reach the vase with his tied hands.Finally, his fingers grasped the neck of the bottle, and with a bang, he decisively smashed the vase on the table.

    Zhou Ziheng raised his legs, stepped on the edge of the table with the soles of his boots, pushed hard, and slid to Xia Xiqing’s side with the chair.

    “I can untie your blindfold, and in exchange, you have to untie the rope for me.”

    After all, he had been a sincere dog for several years. Xia Xiqing instantly heard Zhou Ziheng’s voice, which was completely in line with he’s previous expectations.he smiled, “No problem.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Ziheng reached his two tied hands behind his head, took off the piece of cloth that blocked his sight, and threw it aside.

    His field of vision turned from a brief blur to clear. Xia Xiqing turned his face sideways and realized that the two people were very close. He could almost smell the light scent of Zhou Ziheng’s aftershave.

    Xia Xiqing half-squinted his bright eyes, and the expression on his face went from confusion to surprise, smoothly and without any flaws.

    “So I’m trapped with you.” Xia Xiqing smiled sweetly, her eyes shining brightly, and the mole on the tip of her nose made him look even more innocent. “It feels like a dream, I’m a little dizzy now.”

    He is so good at pretending that even he, a professional actor, has to admire him.Zhou Ziheng couldn’t figure out why such a smile could be placed on this person without any sense of violation.If they had not seen his true face, I am afraid that few people would not have been deceived by him.

    The secret room was covered with cameras, and every corner could be captured clearly. Not wanting to be accused of being indifferent to fans, Zhou Ziheng had no choice but to respond with a smile that seemed warm enough, and even softened his voice, “My eyes were also covered by a blindfold, and I was quite surprised when I took them off.”

    Zhou Ziheng’s self-esteem as an actor and Jiang Yin’s advice made Zhou Ziheng have no choice but to deal with him patiently, even though he really disliked this type of person.He handed the sharp broken piece of porcelain in his hand to Xia Xiqing, “Sorry to trouble you.”

    “It’s no trouble. I’ve liked you since a long time ago. I watch every movie you make.” Xia Xiqing awkwardly took the broken porcelain pieces with his handcuffed hands, and half-bent down to help Zhou Zihon break the rope.

    Zhou Ziheng smiled emotionlessly, “Thank you.”

    Two people who are good at pretending go back and forth and engage in hypocritical exchanges.

    The rope was not easy to cut, so Xia Xiqing started to speak slowly, “Hey, did you just say the rules just once? I’m still a little confused now.”

    Only then did Zhou Ziheng withdraw from the memories. He didn’t hear what Xia Xiqing said. In order to ease the embarrassment, he had to say something else: “By the way, how did you know that someone would take off your blindfold just now?”

    Xia Xiqing guessed that he would ask this question.Now that there are only two of them here, Zhou Ziheng fully understands his true colors.If he is not honest, he will lose more trust and cause trouble later in the game.

    It’s better to be honest and honest.

    The hands used for painting were cutting the rope vigorously. Xia Xiqing’s eyes were fixed on the gradually disconnected rope, and he explained softly, “Although this is my first time on the show, I have often played escape rooms with my friends before, so I have some experience.”

    “When you come to a place like this, you can’t have too much of a sense of immersion. You have to think about things from the perspective of the planners at all times.”

    he cut one and pulled out the broken rope with his hand, “heThey locked me here in the hope that I could escape, not because they really wanted to trap me here for a whole episode.If I am alone in this room, my hands and feet are trapped, and I can’t even see my eyes, the possibility of escaping on my own is almost zero. There are only two situations. First, wait for someone to escape from their own room and come to my room, save me or kill me.Second, there is another person in this room, and we need to help each other, from the perspective of the show’s visibility…”

    Having said this, Xia Xiqing raised his head slightly and met Zhou Ziheng’s eyes.

    He didn’t say anything, just looked at him in silence for three seconds.

    Then he suddenly raised the corners of his mouth.

    For a moment, Zhou Ziheng had a strange illusion, as if he could hear what he had not finished.

    Obviously he and I had only known each other for a few days, and there was no such thing as tacit understanding. However, from this look in his eyes, he completely understood what Xia Xiqing meant.

    [From the perspective of program watchability, only Me and You Together has the highest topicality.]

    “I just wanted to try the second possibility, but I didn’t expect to be so lucky. I hit it in one go.”

    Lie again.

    At some point, Xia Xiqing had untied Zhou Ziheng’s hands.

    “Okay.”

    “Thank you.” Zhou Ziheng was still in a daze. He considered himself a smart person, but his extremely poor first impression made him lose his judgment on the person in front of him.If he wants to win this game, he must lose his bias.

    When he reacted, Zhou Ziheng found that Xia Xiqing leaned down and used his cuffed hands to untie the rope around his ankle.

    Now that his hands are free, he can completely untie the knot by himself. There is no need for violent unlocking methods such as breaking porcelain pieces, or the help of others.

    “I’ll do it myself…”

    Before he finished speaking, he saw Xia Xiqing, who was still bent over, raising his head. He had some doubts in his eyes, his slightly red lips were holding the broken piece of porcelain that had cut the rope just now, and his raised collarbone was exposed in the oversized collar of his white shirt.

    The eyes that broke free from the black cloth, the slightly longer hair that was tied up, the angle of leaning forward, the posture of Zhou Ziheng’s knees close to each other.

    The handcuffs, the mole on the tip of the nose, the sharp pieces, the beautiful but ruthless lip line, the tip of the teeth gently biting the porcelain piece.

    The weird atmosphere accentuates these broken elements into a strange painting, which is very strange and has a bit of ambiguous paint accidentally added to it.

    Zhou Ziheng didn’t understand why he suddenly felt embarrassed. This feeling was something he had never experienced before. He hurriedly bent down and reached out to untie his legs.

    People always subconsciously fear the unknown.

    Xia Xiqing didn’t pay attention. He just took off the porcelain piece he was holding with his fingers and handed it to Zhou Ziheng. “It seems to be a few dead knots. Try this one?” But the other party only shook his head and untied one knot with a little difficulty.

    Seeing that he didn’t appreciate it, Xia Xiqing had no choice but to straighten up and throw the broken porcelain pieces neatly into a corner of the room, like throwing darts.

    After untying his hands and feet, Zhou Ziheng regained the most basic freedom, at least leaving this damn swivel chair. The scene just now made him feel uncomfortable all over. He could only attribute this feeling to the sequelae of being restrained. He turned his neck and clenched his fists to relax himself.Xia Xiqing’s hands were still handcuffed, and he was unable to untie the restraints on his legs by his own abilities.

    It’s a pity that he only exchanged one condition for taking off the black cloth. Now Zhou Ziheng is extremely benevolent and can completely let him become a victim of the game here, not to mention that he hates himself so much.

    Xia Xiqing was thinking about countermeasures in his mind. This was a recording of a show. Logically speaking, it would be too bad to abandon a companion. Ordinary celebrities would not choose such behavior. However, this show also has the special characteristics of psychological warfare. The hidden killer role will create natural mutual suspicion between people, and they cannot be called companions at all.

    So even if Zhou Ziheng leaves he here at this moment, it is completely logical.

    In fact, Zhou Ziheng was also thinking about it. To be honest, morality prevented him from just abandoning someone, even if it was just a simulated survival game.But he really doesn’t like Xia Xiqing. He is a big trouble and a time bomb.If he is saved now, he may betray himself at some point.

    Smiling like an angel and pushing him into the abyss, this is Xia Xiqing.

    For a brief moment, both men struggled and weighed.

    “Although you are my fan, but this is in the game, I’m not sure if the program team will do some tricks to lower my vigilance.” As Xia Xiqing thought, Zhou Ziheng found the excuse for himself that would be least likely to be criticized by the audience after abandoning he. But even if the audience is really dissatisfied, it doesn’t matter, because he really doesn’t want to be tied to Xia Xiqing, “If you are a killer, then I am the aggressor of the tiger.”

    So what if you are?Xia Xiqing originally wanted to ask he like this, but he took it back before he opened his mouth because such words were too direct and conflicted with his harmless persona.

    There is really no way.

    After being mentally prepared, Zhou Ziheng turned around calmly, but the moment he stepped forward, his calf was hooked by a foot.

    “Don’t leave.”

    Looking back, Xia Xiqing, who was sitting on the chair, looked into his eyes.Zhou Ziheng found it extremely strange. Although he belonged to such a cunning body, why could these eyes always make the most innocent and unbearable looks.

    “Ziheng, please form an alliance with me. I will help you win unconditionally.” Xia Xiqing smiled, the expression on his face so confident that he didn’t look like a person asking for help at all, but more like a negotiator with the best bargaining chip.

    “Really? But in this kind of game…” Zhou Ziheng raised his eyebrows at he, “The way to win is to not trust anyone.”

    Quite smart, Xia Xiqing laughed.

    “I didn’t let you believe me.” He’s pupils as black as the abyss revealed a sweet and seductive light, “I let you use me.”

    The author has something to say: Xia Xiqing: This child is so pure that my □□ skills completely failed.

    Zhou Ziheng: Actually, it’s not completely… [whisper bb
