Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion Chapter 416 – You Will Be Standing Beside Wei Qian

Chapter 416: You Will Be Standing Beside Wei Qian

Tan Mo had watched horror movies with Qin Muye while covering their heads.

However, Tan Mo would close her eyes whenever eerie music started playing in the background. It gave her goosebumps.

She would only open her eyes when it changed into a dialogue scene—after all the shrieking and spooky music stopped.

Naturally, it was the same for Qin Muye.

Ming Yeqing even roasted them that they were missing the whole point of watching horror movies.

He could not understand why they would force themselves to watch them despite being afraid.

Why would they put themselves through all that misery?

“Okay.” Tan Mo nodded.

Before she knew it, Wei Zhiqian was already holding her hand firmly. Shaking his hand, Tan Mo said, “I heard someone introduce herself.”

Following that, Wei Zhiqian shifted his attention to Yu Xiaonan.

At that time, Yu Xiaonan was hesitating if she should redo her self-introduction.

Tan Mo flashed a warm smile and reassuringly said, “Got it, sis. You’re Yu Xiaonan. I remember now.”

Upon hearing that, Yu Xiaonan was in a dilemma.

She did not expect Tan Mo to address her as a sister while calling Wei Zhiqian uncle.

Upon noticing that Tan Mo was only several years younger than herself, she became reluctant to be addressed as an aunt as it would make her sound way older than her actual age.

After contemplation, she put the matter in the back of her mind.

If she were to be addressed as an aunt, her motive would be too evident.

It would be better for her to keep a low profile.

After that, Yu Xiaonan flashed a courteous smile. “This is my roommate, Zhou Jieyu.”

Given her cue, Zhou Jieyu greeted everyone at the scene.

The two dudes who came together seemed to be single men. Apart from the girl who came with her boyfriend, they did not expect Tan Mo and the other two girls to be single. They were feeling ecstatic for the event that would play out later.

They were incredibly hyped to see Tan Mo as she was a stunning young woman.

Rumor had it that celebrities were generally better looking in real life than on the screen.

They could not fact-check the assertion since they had never come across any celebrity before. They had been mulling over the claim and thought to themselves, ‘How beautiful could those famous personalities be if they were said to be prettier than on the screen?’

Nevertheless, all their questions were answered upon seeing Tan Mo, who stood before their very eyes.

The existence of a beauty as stunning as Tan Mo was simply beyond their wildest imaginations.

They could tell that she did not put on any makeup as her face looked clean and clear.

Although men often expressed their love for barefaced women, they were more inclined to see women with makeup.

Unlike the other women, Tan Mo did not wear any makeup at all.

Regardless of the fact, she was more attractive than the other three girls with makeup on their faces.

They assumed Tan Mo to be an adult after scrutinizing her.

Still, they could not pluck up the courage to woo her in front of her uncle.

Hence, they shifted their focus on their next prey—Yu Xiaonan and Zhou Jieyu.

Having said that, they did not give up on Tan Mo just yet.

Given a chance, they would, without a doubt, try to get close to her.

“The name is Fang Shuyang, and he’s Xin Kaiqi.” One of the male duos introduced themselves.

As for the pair of lovers, their names were Liu Yuehao and Shi Zhixia.

After the formal introduction, everyone turned their eyes on Tan Mo and Wei Zhiqian, waiting for the two to introduce themselves.

Tan Mo and Wei Zhiqian were public figures. Their names were not uncommon among the masses.

Yet, who would have thought that they would bump into these two while playing escape games? Though the two stood among the crowd, no one could recognize them, for crying out loud.

If Tan Mo introduced herself like usual, they could instantly put the name to her face.

Thus, with her shrewdness, she said, “Hi, I’m Wei Mo.”

After hearing that, the corners of Wei Zhiqian’s lips curled up into a smirk.

Little did the Tan family members know that Tan Mo had changed her surname while away from home.

“The person next to me is my uncle, Wei Qian.” She deliberately introduced Wei Zhiqian without the ‘Zhi’ part. Otherwise, it would raise others’ suspicion as to why their surnames were different. She would then need to go through the hassle of making up a story for the explanation.

“Ladies and gentlemen, this way, please.” A male staff member guided them to the entrance.

“For starters, please allow me to fill you in on the precautions. First and foremost, please do not have any physical contact with our employees. There were instances in which some customers hit our people out of terror or distress. Please be mindful that not all of our scare actors are males. There are female staff members among them as well, so they can’t handle being beaten. Additionally, some dauntless customers might try to touch our scare actors’ costumes. We hereby request your cooperation to refrain yourselves from doing so. In conclusion, under no circumstance should you have any body contact with our crew members.

“The time limit for the game is one hour. When the time is up, our staff will guide you out of the room, even if you still can’t clear the game,” the male employee explained.

“If there’s anyone who wants to give up while the game is still in progress, you may press the buzzer on the wristband that I handed to you earlier. After which, our crew members will bring you out of this place. So just chill and enjoy yourself. Don’t be stressed out. You can always leave the game if you can’t take it anymore, so there’s nothing to be worried about.”

Yu Xiaonan and Zhou Jieyu paid no heed to the staff member while he was doing the explanation.

They were texting each other through WeChat.

Yu Xiaonan wrote, “Jieyu, I need you to work with me once we’re inside. Please hold Wei Mo back when the scare actors ambush us. Meanwhile, I’ll grab the chance to launch myself into Wei Qian’s embrace.”

Without hesitation, Zhou Jieyu replied, “Got it.”

Yu Xiaonan responded, “Well, it’s not like we’re snatching her protector from her anyway. We just need to let another person do the job.”

Zhou Jieyu replied, “Don’t sweat it. Just go and give it your best shot with Wei Qian. I’ll be playing the kind-hearted big sister character and stay by Wei Mo’s side later. Surely, she’ll not be afraid. Even if she does, I’ll be there to watch over her. I’ll make sure that she doesn’t find Wei Qian. You may leave it to me.”

Zhou Jieyu wrote back, “Once we’re in, I’ll think of a way to attract her attention and get her to come to me. Then, the person standing beside Wei Qian will be you.”

With that, Yu Xiaonan flashed Zhou Jieyu a feverish grin as she replied, “Hooray! That’s brilliant!”

The staff member noticed that Yu Xiaonan and Zhou Jieyu did not listen to his explanation, but he did not bring up the matter.

After explaining the precautions, he continued to narrate the background story of the game.

Needless to say, the purpose was to set off the atmosphere and help the players better immerse themselves into the game.

This helped heighten the mood once they entered the room.

“OMG! That’s so scary.” Shi Zhixia, the female counterpart of the couple, hugged her boyfriend’s arm.

Meanwhile, Fang Shuyang, one of the two guys, smiled at Yu Xiaonan and Zhou Jieyu and commented, “You gals are a pair of daredevils if I do say so myself. To think that you would challenge the scariest theme among all escape games without any man accompanying you. That’s really something else.”

“Well, I, for one, am a coward. But my curiosity got the better of me. Teehee.” Yu Xiaonan chuckled. “I only picked this game since Jieyu, the fearless one, is coming with me.”

“You don’t say! How bold is she?” Xin Kaiqi asked.

“Do you know all those blockbuster horror movies? Jieyu had already watched them all,” Yu Xiaonan replied. “Furthermore, she would watch the entire movie without averting her gaze from it. She did it without letting out even one screech. How was that?

“She wasn’t even spooked by the characters with high-quality makeup and the state-of-the-art movie effects, so I doubt if the scare actors with their costumes and makeup can even affect her. It’s unthinkable that theirs could be more realistic than the ones in the movies,” Yu Xiaonan commented.

“Whoa! That’s badass! To be honest, we are frightened when we watch horror movies,” Fang Shuyang responded.

Shi Zhixia was doing pretty well since she had her boyfriend to look after her. Besides, her sense of security was further enhanced by having an arm to hug constantly.

Right then, Zhou Jieyu said to Tan Mo, “Wei Mo, don’t be afraid. I’ll keep you safe.”
