After all the members of the romance drama read my heart, I became a heartthrob

Chapter 12 Little liar, squeamish
  There was no light in the secret room, as if to deliberately increase the difficulty for them.

The room was dark, so I had to fumble around to find clues.

Shi Fu was blinded by the darkness in front of her. After thinking about it, she patted Pei Shu on the shoulder.

"Mr. Pei, please put me down first. I'll stand here while you look for clues first."

"Take me out after you find the clues."

This is the best method at present, after all, it is too inconvenient for him to carry her behind his back.

Pei Shu responded and put her down.

Shi Fu fumbled against the wall with some difficulty.

She was originally wearing high heels, but she twisted them just now. Now that she was standing like this, her ankles ached and beads of sweat broke out on her forehead.

But Pei Shu hadn't found the switch yet, so she could only force herself to lean against the cold wall.

[Why is Pei Shu so stupid? He hasn't found the key yet. His feet hurt. 】

Pei Shu, who had already taken the key in his hand, paused and turned his head to look in the direction of Shi Fu.

Although the room was dark, he still caught her figure.

He walked over with long legs and was about to speak, but Shi Fu grabbed his tie.

"Why are you so stupid?"

A bit squeamish, but not overbearing.

The little girl was in such pain, but she still waited for him to find the key, and she didn't cry out in pain, well... she just screamed in her heart.

Pei Shu lowered his eyes, feeling a rare hint of guilt, "I'm sorry."

"Hmph." Shi Fu snorted, "No wonder an illegitimate child stole the company's secrets. He is such a fool." 】

Pei Shu's eyes darkened and he put the key down calmly.

The two were very close now, so close that he could feel her body temperature.

It was a little hot, and it heated up a piece of his chest through his clothes.

"This is my first time playing an escape room." Pei Shu stared at Shi Fu closely, "I'm sorry."

Shi Fu: [Forget it, I'd better stay away from the villain, lest he hurt me when he goes crazy. 】

"Forget it, it's okay." Shi Fu said and stepped back. Unexpectedly, Pei Shu pressed closer and followed him.

Pei Shu was supporting the wall with one hand, and he was much taller than Shi Fu. This was equivalent to having her in his arms, and the whole posture looked extremely ambiguous.

Pei Shu's approach made Shi Fu a little uncomfortable. She had never been so close to a man, so close that she could feel his breath on the ends of her hair.

Her ears turned red, and even her face was stained with a hint of crimson.

Fortunately, the room was dark now and she couldn't see anything, otherwise she would have made a big fool of herself.

Pei Shu waited for two minutes, but did not hear Shi Fu's voice again, and then took out the key he had just found.

"I found the key."

"Then open the door quickly!" Shi Fu urged, "Sister Manli and Doctor Duan will be here soon."

"Maybe they are waiting for us outside now."

At Shi Fu's urging, Pei Shu quickly opened the door.

The sun poured in from outside, making the two of them unable to open their eyes.

Shi Fu endured the pain and walked to the door. When she saw Qiao Manli not far away, her eyes lit up and she waved to her.

"Sister Manli!"

Qiao Manli heard Shi Fu's voice, spoke to Duan Minghan, and walked towards Shi Fu.

"You guys are out." Qiao Manli looked at Shi Fu and noticed her red and swollen ankle, "Shi Fu, are you injured?"

"My ankle is sprained." Shi Fu sighed, pretending to be pity, "I thought I could have a good date with Mr. Pei today, but it's a pity." Pei Shu raised his eyebrows slightly.

Little liar.

Seeing that her ankle was very red and swollen, Qiao Manli simply suggested, "Let Doctor Duan take a look at it."

Duan Minghan took a look and said, "It's nothing serious. Don't wear high heels."

Shi Fu glanced at Pei Shu.

Pei Shu had already put on his hat and mask, "I'm going to buy slippers."

When he came back after shopping, the three of them had already decided where to have lunch.

There was a famous Chinese restaurant nearby. Qiao Manli made a phone call and booked a private room. After Pei Shu bought the slippers and Shi Fu put them on, she drove to the Chinese restaurant.

In the box, Shi Fu and Qiao Manli sat on one side, Pei Shu sat opposite Shi Fu, and next to him was Duan Minghan.

The few people seemed to be chatting, but in fact their attention was focused on Shi Fu.

It's a pity that Shi Fu was obsessed with eating and had nothing on her mind, so they couldn't hear her voice.

Qiao Manli felt a little anxious. If it weren't for the fact that it was so unbelievable to hear Shi Fu's voice, she would have wanted to ask directly.

After Shi Fu had eaten and drank enough, she began to sit next to her in a daze. Next to her, Qiao Manli was still talking to Duan Minghan about the difficult customers she encountered at work.

Both of them have very special professions, so they have common topics when talking about them.

Shi Fu listened and sighed inwardly with some regret.

[Sister Manli was disfigured by the murderer. 】

[The murderer is also secretly stalking Sister Manli. 】

Qiao Manli was shocked and almost couldn't help but look at Shi Fu.

Shi Fu didn't know that they could hear her thoughts. If it wasn't for Xiao Gua's statement that she couldn't tell what she knew about the future, she would have really wanted to remind Sister Manli.

Unfortunately, when she had this thought, she would feel a tingling sensation from her fingertips.

Shi Fu knew that it was the rules of the system warning her, so she could only sigh secretly in her heart.

Qiao Manli pursed her lips, as if chatting with Duan Minghan.

"I have encountered another difficult client in the past few days. He hit someone with his car, but the other person ran a red light and crossed the road. This case is very beneficial to my client, but..."

She strained her ears to listen to Shi Fu's thoughts.

【That’s a liar! 】

[It has gotten better now, but twenty years ago he committed murder! 】

[The one who also killed was a female teacher. He was caught peeping at her because he was obsessed with her, so he killed her. Now her body is still buried under the abandoned warehouse of No. 1 Middle School! 】

Qiao Manli's eyes brightened slightly. It was indeed the right thing to meet Shi Fu today.

When Duan Minghan saw that Qiao Manli had stopped speaking, he followed her words and asked, "But what?"

Qiao Manli smiled and said slightly relaxedly: "But he insists on compensation for his mental losses."

Shifu: [Bah! That murderer is so shameless! 】

[He just wants to take this opportunity to pester Sister Manli! 】

[Sister Manli refused to die and was disfigured by him. 】

Qiao Manli's hand hanging on one side slowly clenched.

"This request is a bit excessive. I didn't agree. The day after tomorrow is the court date. I hope there won't be any surprises." Qiao Manli straightened her hair and glanced at her phone. It seemed that someone had sent a message.

She took a look and smiled apologetically at Duan Minghan.

"I may not be able to go on with today's appointment."
