After walking along a short path, a corner suddenly appears, and once you turn the corner, you'll see the truth.
It's often at this stage that people feel even more nervous.
Zhao Yuan told Xu Yi to follow behind him slowly, while he, as a brave man, went ahead to scout the way.
Xu Yi nodded slightly and followed him at a leisurely pace.
Soon, Zhao Yuan turned the corner that blocked his view, and what he saw made his legs tremble with fear.
"ah--"
Zhao Yuan exclaimed in surprise, and the viewers in the live broadcast room screamed and wailed incessantly.
There were two coffins in the cellar, and an altar with incense, candles, fruits, and raw meat as offerings.
There was also a pair of wooden chairs with two paper effigies on them.
What's even more terrifying is that there's a woman they know here, Professor Qi.
Professor Qi was dressed in festive red clothes, looking like a matchmaker who specializes in organizing these kinds of ghost marriages.
Professor Qi was startled when she saw Zhao Yuan arrive, but fortunately, she was a professional actress with excellent skills and rich experience, so she quickly regained her composure.
Professor Qi let out a sharp laugh that sent chills down one's spine, then said with an ambiguous chuckle, "The groom has finally arrived."
Zhao Yuan was so frightened that he immediately turned around and tried to run away.
Xu Yi had already walked up to him, but she couldn't stop in time and almost bumped into his arms, but luckily she managed to avoid it in time.
Zhao Yuan grabbed Xu Yi's shoulders, flipped her over 180 degrees, and pushed her back, shouting, "Run!"
"You can't escape... Hahahaha, this is your destiny!"
In the past, no matter what kind of demons or monsters she encountered, Xu Yi would always draw her sword and charge forward. Running away was something she had never done before. But today, no matter what, it was just a variety show. She had to pretend and learn to run away with the same fear as ordinary people.
The two ran back together, with Professor Qi, the matchmaker, still chasing after them.
When the two ran down to the bottom of the cellar, they found an old man in a long robe, leaning on a cane, guarding the place.
The entrance to the cellar had been sealed off.
Several people who were watching the live stream on their phones outside were somewhat surprised when they saw the old man.
Gu Yueyue frowned slightly, her tone cold as she said, "This man was the old man Xiao Xu and I asked for directions at the village entrance. I never expected him to be part of this trap."
Yin Yu was very proud; this time, she had to live in the atmosphere.
"So we've been in their trap all along." Gu Yueyue sighed softly, feeling a little uncomfortable. She should be the one doing the mission with Xu Yi right now.
However, because of her sprained ankle, she could only sit here and watch Xu Yi and Zhao Yuan do their mission.
In the cellar, Xu Yi saw that Zhao Yuan looked tense and scared, but he still had to maintain his composure.
She followed Zhao Yuan's example and made the same gesture of fear.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuan pulled her behind him and said in a gentle tone, "Don't be afraid."
"Mm." Xu Yi wasn't afraid. Whether it was a game or a TV show, she wasn't afraid.
Soon the two were taken together to the place where the coffin had been placed.
Professor Qi pointed to the two sets of clothes, "The bride and groom should change into their wedding attire."
Xu Yi was somewhat resistant. She had already held a half-wedding ceremony with Zhao Yuan in the illusion today, so why was she coming here again now?
The bride in red urged them on.
Zhao Yuan was no longer afraid at this point, and he began to follow the rules of the program, putting on the groom's clothes.
Xu Yi glanced at it and reached out to take it.
Gu Yueyue, who was outside, could hardly bear to watch any longer.
Why are you getting married again?
again?
She paused for a moment, not focusing on the main point of the thought, but instead cast a resentful glance at Yin Yu.
Yin Yu knew she was angry, and touched her nose guiltily and ingratiatingly.
This scene was originally intended for Gu Yueyue and Zhao Yuan, as she always wanted to generate some viewership and buzz for her show.
Unexpectedly, they ended up together as Xu Yi and Zhao Yuan.
Yin Yu made a suggestive gesture, and the camera then moved away from her and Gu Yueyue.
She pulled Gu Yueyue aside and whispered, "I'll arrange for you to go and steal the bride later."
Gu Yueyue felt a little better.
Yin Yu then instructed, "Take Xu Yi away, and then you go."
"..."
Yin Yu chuckled, "This is part of the show. It was all planned out."
"Can't it be changed?"
Perhaps her tone was too sharp, Yin Yu sighed softly, "It can be changed. Go and steal the bride later. Take Xu Yi with you. Go straight to that farmhouse. I'll arrange for Chen Sha to handle the rest."
Yin Yu was so worried that her hair was almost falling out, and the program schedule was completely disrupted.
Gu Yueyue had already started preparing, and Yin Yu handed her the new script so she could take a look at the follow-up.
“Originally, the scene of the bride being kidnapped was for Yuan Beidu. But he hasn’t even gotten to the main plot yet. You’ll act in this part, where he elopes with Xu Yi.”
"Your role as Chen Sha is next. You'll replace Xu Yi as the bride and continue this ghost marriage. Now it's Chen Sha's turn."
The footage from the cellar had been removed, and the production team was about to hand over the script to them when they received a call from Yin Yu.
I had no choice but to abandon the old script and give a verbal explanation.
"Teacher Gu will try to steal the bride later."
Zhao Yuan's eyes gleamed.
"Teacher Xu, you can just follow Teacher Gu."
The light in Zhao Yuan's eyes dimmed.
"Weren't you taking me away?" Zhao Yuan asked, puzzled. What kind of woman would it be to steal another woman?
Then Zhao Yuan thought of the legalization of same-sex marriage a few years ago. His expression changed again and again. But the entertainment industry is still dominated by heterosexuals. Is Yin Yu going to do something big?
Zhao Yuan may not understand, but he is competent and knows how to follow the rules.
The staff were quite afraid that Zhao Yuan would ask too many questions, making it impossible for him to explain, because they also couldn't understand why a simple plot had to be changed so many times.
Xu Yi's face remained unchanged, without much expression, but she changed her clothes much faster, making it difficult for people to see her movements clearly.
The matchmaker stood to the side. If Xu Yi didn't know how to wear this kind of wedding dress, she could have helped her. However, Xu Yi was quick and efficient in dressing, so there was no need for her help at all.
A note from the author:

Chapter 83
Gu Yueyue has already started preparing for the wedding. Because of her ankle injury, although she felt she was all better, no one around her believed her and forced her to rest. She also couldn't do any strenuous activities.
Xu Yi had been looking forward to it, but she maintained a cold demeanor, making it impossible for anyone to discern her true thoughts.
As the time drew ever closer, the program's schedule led to the scene of the bride being kidnapped.
Zhao Yuan turned off his microphone, avoided the camera, and quietly asked the staff member next to him, "When we're going to kidnap the bride later, can I run along with them?"
"..."
This young film star seems to have gone a little mad since he woke up from his afternoon nap.
Because of his status, the staff couldn't give him a direct answer, so they looked at Xu Yi with wandering eyes and smiled, "PD Yin said that Teacher Gu should take Teacher Xu away, and you stay to have the wedding ceremony. Let's follow the script, we can't make that decision."
Zhao Yuan sighed; he didn't mean to make things difficult for the staff.
He felt a little strange, as if his personality was split. On one hand, he wanted to leave with Gu Yueyue, hoping that she could take him away when she tried to steal him away later. On the other hand, he hoped that Xu Yi could stay and have the wedding ceremony with him. He felt like that little girl owed him a wedding.
Gu Yueyue's arrival made both Xu Yi and Zhao Yuan nervous.
Xu Yi's palms were damp, and her gaze was fixed on Gu Yueyue.
The production team had a scripted part; Gu Yueyue would suddenly barge in just as the couple was about to get married.
—I was so nervous watching this! The full moon couple is finally reunited!
—Why not just steal Xu Yi away? We, the January CP, are raising our flags high!
Aren't you curious why the live stream just disappeared?
"—Didn't I already say? Yueyue sprained her ankle, Zhao Yuan had a headache, and Han Muzhou had an upset stomach. That's why Yin Yu gave everyone a two-hour break."
—Also, it's said that Chen Sha is in poor mental condition and is constantly sleepy. Yuan Beidu stole vegetables from the villagers' gardens, and those vegetables had been fertilized with local manure just two days ago; he almost vomited up.
People online are mocking Yin Yu for his bad luck, saying that he managed to get so many complicated illnesses on this variety show.
Yin Yu nervously watched the monitoring screen. The positive comments floating on it and the stream of donations brought her a little comfort as she was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Gu Yueyue had arrived in front of a 'newlywed' couple.
Xu Yi's face was covered by a veil, so her expression was not visible. However, Xu Yi could clearly see the tension that Teacher Gu was hiding.
Zhao Yuan stared longingly at Gu Yueyue, still hoping that he would be the one taken away.
At the same time, Teacher Qi and the old man who was an extra also jumped out to stop them, saying a lot of terrifying things like evil god curses.
"Whether she is a god or a demon, I will take her away today."
