[It's been so long since we've seen President Xie and Shuangjiang interact! I'm really looking forward to it!]
[President Xie and Shuangjiang are out!]
After all the guests had made their appearances, the two, dressed in mint green team uniforms, made a grand finale appearance.
When introducing them, the host MC said the following.
"Let's welcome the most popular couple in the love story: Xie Wang and Ling Shuangjiang!"
Xie Wang knew where the camera was, so he took Ling Shuangjiang's hand, waved to the audience, and nodded slightly.
Ling Shuangjiang held Xie Wang's hand and remained silent the entire time, not wanting to say a word.
[Hilarious! It's just like that domineering CEO who shows up at the company's annual party with his young, beautiful wife.]
[Was Mr. Xie greeting us?]
[They're holding hands!]
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel that the two of them look somewhat like a married couple.
Among all the guests, Xie Wang was the only non-celebrity. However, looking around, his presence was no less than anyone else's.
The same style of team uniform, Xie Wang's good figure can fill it out, with broad shoulders and a slim waist, and his two long legs make him look like he's walking a catwalk.
The arrival of the two prompted the host to vacate the center position. Being stared at by so many people, Ling Shuangjiang's earlobes burned bright red.
The wind was strong outside today. Ling Shuangjiang was being held by Xie Wang with one hand and was holding a microphone with the other. When it was his turn to speak, he raised the microphone, which swayed slightly in the wind.
At this moment, Xie Wangteng reached out and grasped his hand, holding the microphone together with him.
Two diamond bracelets touched together, gleaming brightly, their blue diamonds exquisite and dazzling.
Ling Shuangjiang smiled shyly: "Hello everyone, I am Ling Shuangjiang."
[Oh my god, it's so sweet!]
[Tsk tsk tsk, they'd rather hold the microphone together than let go.]
[Look at Xie Wang's eyes! He's been staring at my wife, clearly with ill intentions.]
[This bracelet looks like a matching couple's bracelet.]
[This seems to be a new product from the Fanyin brand; I found it on their official website.]
The guests have all assembled, and the task is about to begin. This episode is a couples special, and the overall framework of the show is based on the script "Couples' Ghostly Night."
Players need to follow clues to complete script tasks and solve the true cause of the bride's death in "The Night of the Couple".
"On their wedding night, the bride died. When the police arrived, the groom was missing, and poison was found on the table."
Ling Shuangjiang reviews the plot and heads to the first mission location with Xie Wang.
Ahead of them stood a newlywed celebrity couple. The groom, Fan Jiaxu, was enjoying a booming career, with his starring film grossing over 3 billion yuan. The bride, Chen Cheng, was a rising star.
The two were dubbed a "perfect match" couple by netizens.
This task mainly tests the two people's tacit understanding. There are ten questions in total. If you answer more than six correctly, you can get a clue.
Ling Shuangjiang and the other person waited for about twenty minutes before Chen Cheng and Fan Jiaxu came out, having failed in their challenge.
Fan Jiaxu nodded to Xie Wang, his expression not very good before he left. Chen Cheng followed awkwardly, and the atmosphere between the two was somewhat stiff.
Throughout the entire process, Xie Wang held Ling Shuangjiang's hand, claiming that Ling Shuangjiang was cold-natured and needed his hands warmed.
As the two entered, Xie Wang asked a staff member, "Are these questions difficult?"
The staff member nodded: "Yes, even real couples would get it wrong."
The phrase "true couple" carries a profound meaning.
Xie Wang glanced at the staff, handed Ling Shuangjiang a drawing board, and began to accept the challenge back-to-back with him.
The staff began by asking, "What is Xie Wang's favorite color?"
Ling Shuangjiang: Black.
Xie Wang: Black.
"What is Xie Wang's favorite form of entertainment?"
Ling Shuangjiang: Fitness.
Xie Wang: Fitness.
[Both of these questions are relatively simple.]
[Stay calm! My bro's partner.]
[Fan Jiaxu and the other guy both looked annoyed just now; they couldn't even guess the most basic color correctly.]
[Those two only got 30 points, and they're always showing off their affection.]
"What is Xie Wang's most common breakfast combination?"
Ling Shuangjiang: Black coffee, sandwich.
Xie Wang: Black coffee, sandwich.
The staff gave them an encouraging look, "Keep it up, you'll have a chance to pass!"
If you were to describe Xie Wang using an animal, what would it be?
Wow, this is a tough question.
[This definitely requires a high degree of teamwork.]
[It doesn't matter, as long as I can see them playing together.]
Upon hearing the question, Ling Shuangjiang hesitated for a few seconds, then wrote down two characters with a smile and displayed them together with Xie Wang.
Ling Shuangjiang: Dog.
Xie Wang: Big Dog.
The staff smiled in surprise, marveling at how the two had managed to spell it correctly with such perfect understanding.
"Why is Mr. Xie always a dog? Is it because of the Frost's Descent?"
Ling Shuangjiang smiled and said, "Because I think he's like a dog—both powerful and affectionate, and he knows how to care for people."
Xie Wang: "Most importantly, I'm very capable and loyal in love."
[Loyalty in love? Got it.]
[Ahhh, these two really know each other well.]
[Just guessing, Shuangjiang secretly calls President Xie "Doggy."]
Staff: "Okay, congratulations on answering four questions correctly. Now we'll move on to the fifth question. What is the ideal type of Frost's Descent? You can write down several words; if two words overlap, you win."
Ling Shuangjiang thought for a moment and wrote down the following on the drawing board: polite, with positive values, ambitious, caring, with a good figure, and with a lovely personality.
Xie Wang seemed to write very quickly, and after hastily finishing his work, he waited to reveal the answer with Ling Shuangjiang.
When everyone saw the name "Xie Wang" on Xie Wang's answer sheet, they couldn't help but applaud him, and even the photographer was amused.
"Does this count as an official announcement?"
"Don't tell me this is just for the show!! It's too sweet."
"Is this...this...so blatant?"
Ling Shuangjiang was unaware of what had happened when a staff member asked meaningfully, "Shuangjiang, President Xie said that he is your ideal type. What are your thoughts on this?"
Ling Shuangjiang was slightly taken aback. Turning around, she saw Xie Wang's confident two words on the answer board and his inexplicably proud expression, and suddenly burst into laughter.
The staff member laughed and said, "No points were awarded for this question."
"etc--"
Xie Wang said to the camera, "Am I in good shape? Am I polite? Do I have the right values? If I meet all those criteria, why can't we get a score?"
The staff member hesitated, "But..." He glanced back at the director, who nodded, "Okay, congratulations on getting another point."
When the next question was asked, the staff specifically added that this method could not be used again, to which Xie Wang agreed.
"For the sixth question, you can write down three favorite shower gel scents for the Frostfall season. If any of your answers overlap, you win."
This question, while of moderate difficulty, is a trap.
For most couples, this question isn't a problem.
However, there was a hint of ambiguity between the two of them.
Xie thought for a long time before writing down the two characters "cherry blossom".
When the results were presented, Ling Shuangjiang's answers were: cherry blossoms, roses, and mint.
Applause erupted as the two successfully passed the test. A staff member joked, "Mr. Xie, how did you know about the Frost's Descent shower gel scent?"
Xie Wang knew it was a trap, and said seriously, "I smelled it."
Ling Shuangjiang lowered her eyes and smiled softly.
The relationship between the two is obvious.
Those present exchanged knowing smiles, understanding the situation but refusing to say anything.
[Does anyone actually know what scented shower gel their partner uses?]
[I know what your shower gel smells like, I'm your ideal type, and I privately let you call me "doggy," but we're brothers.]
[What a brother! This is a true brother.]
After completing the level, the two obtained the clue "The Bride's Past".
It turns out that the bride's mother was criminally detained for robbery when she was very young.
During her school years, the bride suffered constant discrimination and bullying, and for a long time, she developed autism.
Ling Shuangjiang remembered the murder mystery game script link that Sheng Xiao had sent him. The plot was roughly the same, and the direction was very similar.
"Next, we'll meet at the West Square to participate in the Brand Name Competition."
Xie Wang took Ling Shuangjiang's hand and naturally put it in his pocket, saying, "Let me warm it up for you."
Ling Shuangjiang deliberately made things difficult for him: "Your pockets are cold too."
