Chapter 399 Let'S Eat A Chocolate Stick Together
The firm tone, the dashing profile, the warmth from her palm filled her with a sense of security; Su Tao's final words felt like a cool vow.
In fact, she was definitely trying to be cool.
She was looking forward to praise from the girl next to her.
What Su Tao didn't expect was that Chi Xiaocheng was completely stunned.
Actually, Chi Xiaocheng had been ready to act.
She'd planned to be startled by the sudden appearance of something, then leap into Su Tao's arms, make some cute noises, and thoroughly enjoy being protected by the maiden.
But she hadn't had time to move.
With a "Duang," she froze.
Chi Xiaocheng knew that Taotao, who had inherited the blood of the God of War, was very strong, but was this... too overpowered?
Had she not considered the possibility that there were staff members under this fake prop?
Oh no, if I argue with Taotao in the future, how can I possibly resist her?
After falling into deep thought, Chi Xiaocheng's attention was no longer on the doll that had popped out. Su Tao thought the girl was frightened, so she easily pulled Chi Xiaocheng into her arms and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, Xiaocheng, I'll protect you."
The atmosphere I was trying to create is gone.
Chi Xiaocheng sighed inwardly and nodded lightly.
The sound was soft, but it made Su Tao realize something was wrong.
Xiaocheng didn't seem to be… scared?
She looked at the doll's face, streaming with bloody tears and missing a body, and couldn't help but fall into thought.
Honestly, she herself thought the doll was pretty scary.
Xiaocheng wasn't afraid!
Nor did she admire and praise me.
Could it be that my punching style just now was not right?
Su Tao couldn't figure it out, but she continued to pull Chi Xiaocheng forward.
The place they were in was clearly inside a cave. The further they went, the more clearly they could feel the flow of air, proving that they were gradually moving outwards.
Because the cave was damp and the road was dirty, neither of them searched much, but they still managed to get two pearls with their heaven-defying luck.
One was found while walking.
The other was originally on a rockery and required cooperation to climb up and obtain it, but a staff member dressed as a ghost on the rockery suddenly sneezed.
They inadvertently touched the pearl, and it rolled to Su Tao's feet.
The maiden's authority was declining, but this luck was still with her.
The cave wasn't winding, and the two of them soon walked out.
Outside the cave was a somewhat desolate scene, like an abandoned village. At the end was a wall, and inside seemed to be a courtyard, the scale of which left the two of them a bit dumbfounded.
At the same time, it seemed that other teams had come out earlier than Su Tao and Chi Xiaocheng.
It was that arguing couple.
Before the game started, they seemed to be having a fight, but now an NPC, a ghost, was scaring them.
This seemed to be a child dressed as a ghost. With the boy's six-foot frame, he should be able to easily solo this ghost and snatch the red pearl from it.
But the boy didn't move.
Instead, he shielded the girl behind him and confronted the ghost.
Because she was scared, the girl held the boy's waist tightly, screaming and telling him to quickly chase the ghost away.
The boy was very smooth, deliberately letting the ghost scare the girl, enjoying the feeling of protecting her while racking up more brownie points.
Su Tao glanced again at Chi Xiaocheng, who was watching the show and slacking off with a very indifferent expression, and instantly understood where she had gone wrong just now.
She had acted too fast, and Xiaocheng hadn't felt any sense of crisis at all!
Thinking of this, Su Tao also pulled Chi Xiaocheng quickly into the courtyard.
She shielded Chi Xiaocheng in front of her, "Xiaocheng, you go look ahead first. I feel a bit chilly behind me."
Chi Xiaocheng's mouth twitched, "Taotao, didn't you say you were going to protect me? Now you're…"
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly stepped on a mechanism on the ground, and a ghost face suddenly popped out from the floor, almost right in Chi Xiaocheng's face.
Even if she wasn't afraid of ghosts or anything.
This kind of sudden accident would still give anyone a big scare.
Almost as a conditioned reflex, she took a step back and was forced to pounce into Su Tao's arms.
It was at this moment that Su Tao felt the emotional value she had originally envisioned.
She immediately pulled Chi Xiaocheng behind her, "Xiaocheng, hide behind me, I'll protect you!"
"Dong!" She threw a punch!
The spring-loaded mechanism was directly knocked away.
Chi Xiaocheng's eyebrows twitched again, "Taotao, you're... you're too amazing."
Her praise was very ordinary.
But…
Su Tao felt great.
Sure enough, letting Xiaocheng be afraid first, and then protecting her, was the correct way to play this escape room!
Immediately afterwards, Su Tao followed suit, not taking action when encountering demons and monsters, but waiting for Chi Xiaocheng to be startled before playing the hero to save the beauty.
But Su Tao found that sometimes Chi Xiaocheng seemed to have a long reaction time.
After the monster was in her face for a few seconds, she would exaggeratedly "Ah" and then pounce into her arms.
It looked a little fake.
But Xiaocheng seemed to be just that slow and cute.
Back and forth, the two of them collected many pearls, and because this was a couple's game, the side quests inside were even more blush-inducing.
And they had nothing to do with the scene!
This was an ancient mansion, haunted by ghosts and monsters. The side quests of a normal game would definitely be related to this special background story.
But after Su Tao and Chi Xiaocheng met an NPC, they were dumbfounded.
NPC: "I have a couple's challenge here. You can challenge a total of three times. You can get a pearl for each successful challenge. Do you want to try?"
The two naturally nodded.
The NPC said again, "The challenge is very simple."
She pulled out a 20-centimeter-long chocolate stick, "The chocolate stick game. Each of you bite one end. If the chocolate stick doesn't break at the 3-centimeter-long light-colored edge, and neither of your lips touch, then it will be considered a successful challenge."
Some classic couple games.
But the people playing this game were Su Tao and Chi Xiaocheng.
The two looked at each other, both feeling a little embarrassed.
It was okay to be lovey-dovey at home.
But this was a public place.
The NPC lady was watching.
There might be other staff members in the dark here, or even security monitors.
There was a sense of shame from being exposed.
Su Tao looked at Chi Xiaocheng and asked, "Xiaocheng, for the sake of the pearls and the final victory, we have no choice, right?"
Chi Xiaocheng: "???"
You say it so reluctantly, but why do you look so eager to try!
Although Chi Xiaocheng herself wanted to try it too.
Her face flushed, and she nodded lightly, "Then… let's try?"
Su Tao's eyes lit up even more.
Xiaocheng didn't reject her kisses at home.
She didn't object after I suggested wearing couple outfits.
Now she would pounce into my arms when she was scared.
She even agreed to the challenge game of eating a chocolate stick together.
Could it be…
Su Tao swallowed and her heart beat faster.
