Guan Liangzhe: "An exit! It's an exit!"
Sha Ling: "I see a ladder. Everyone, hurry out."
Ge Dongxuan: "I can't believe the exit was discovered like this. I'm speechless."
Lan Tianyou: "Hee hee hee!"
As before, Nan Xiangwan led the way, and Gu Beihuai brought up the rear.
The six of them crawled out of the hole in the wall one by one. Outside was a rooftop with a ladder set up.
There were air cushions placed below the ladder to prevent slipping and falling. This obvious trick by the program team meant that this was indeed the exit.
Nan Xiangwan quickly looked at the height, then swiftly climbed down the ladder. In no time, she had reached the ground.
The others were slower, but still managed to climb down successfully.
By now, daylight had broken and the morning sun was shining brightly.
Glancing back at the old school buildings behind them, their state of mind felt different.
The three-story old school, mottled by the passage of many years, was coated with a layer of light under the sun's rays.
All their feelings were somewhat trance-like as they marveled at the spectacle.
A round of applause sounded nearby. Hua Yuanwu walked over with program crew members.
Hua Yuanwu: "Congratulations! You finally escaped from the haunted house after 7 hours, just in time for breakfast."
Lan Tianyou: "We actually spent seven hours inside?"
Guan Liangzhe: "Seeing the director, I'm so excited I feel like crying."
Sha Ling: "I was afraid we'd never get out."
Ge Dongxuan: "I was totally immersed. Sigh!"
Nan Xiangwan: "Director Hua, where is the spirit?"
Hua Yuanwu: "There are no such things as spirits in this world. Can you believe in science?"
Hua Yuanwu was rendered speechless. Was this girl out of her mind?
Nan Xiangwan asked again in disappointment: "How did your neck spin 180 degrees?"
She was just too curious!
Hua Yuanwu: "Come on, let's welcome our supporting NPC actors!"
Three adults led a group of children out of the building. By now, they had removed their makeup and their bodies had returned to normal.
Nan Xiangwan was still very curious, staring fixedly at them.
The three adults, their makeup removed, smiled at the camera and bowed. The actor who played the principal was actually a shy young man. The two "female teachers" were not demons without makeup either, just ordinary looking.
As for the children, they stared with wide eyes at Nan Xiangwan.
Hua Yuanwu explained: "These are actors we found from all over the country, including acrobat performers and dancers. Most of the children have skeletal deformities, which is why their necks are crooked. Some are dance students. Let's not look at that dance, haha!"
Hua Yuanwu: "Our program has already sponsored medical treatment for the children to help them recover, as you can see they are doing quite well now. We also call again on society to pay attention to children born with disabilities, so they too can have a happy childhood!"
Everyone applauded. The truth was revealed.
To go through so much trouble finding actors for just one episode, the program team was awesome!
Comments:
- A sudden burst of positive energy!
- Look at that little actor still staring at Nan Xiangwan, haha! A fan!
- Jealous! Can I break my bones now for a chance to participate and meet goddess Nan?
- No need to go that far to chase stars!
...
Amidst applause from the crew, a group photo marked the end of filming for the second episode of "Haunted House"!
Ge Dongxuan and Sha Ling clung to Nan Xiangwan, still feeling the excitement after leaving the haunted house.
Lan Tianyou was saying something to Gu Beihuai. Guan Liangzhe was earnestly asking Director Hua to not make it so scary next time.
Finally, the six went to record personal vlogs that would be edited and posted online later.
Nan Xiangwan yawned her way through recording everything. Xiao Dong came by car to pick her up.
As soon as she got in the car...
Whoosh!
Gu Beihuai jumped in and sat next to Nan Xiangwan.
Xiao Dong didn't even dare speak, only looked silently at Madam Nan for guidance.
Gu Beihuai: "Take pity on a person without an assistant. Anyway, we live together, so might as well give me a ride too."
Nan Xiangwan: "You don't even have an assistant?"
Gu Beihuai: "That's right, no assistant or driver."
Nan Xiangwan: "Leave it to me. Xiao Dong drives the car. From now on, buddy, feel free to ride in my car."
Gu Beihuai happily leaned back with a smile. Success!
Xiao Dong: "......"
Madam Nan, how could you believe the nonsense of this king?
Nan Xiangwan was truly sleepy. She was originally an early-to-bed, early-to-rise good girl. But this variety show insisted on recording late into the night until morning each time.
Gu Beihuai was also quite tired. The two sat quietly in the back row with eyes closed, napping.
Xiao Dong glanced at them occasionally via the rearview mirror, a knowing smile on her face.
Indeed, they looked well-matched!
The car arrived at the gate of Season Manor. Xiao Dong woke the two: "We've arrived, Madam Nan. Also, I've prepared breakfast in the kitchen, remember to eat."
Nan Xiangwan: "Will definitely eat it all."
Gu Beihuai smiled and followed her out of the car, but he took Elevator 2 instead of Elevator 1 with Nan Xiangwan.
Nan Xiangwan: "???"
Gu Beihuai: "I haven't eaten either. Can I join you for a bite?"
Nan Xiangwan: "Then eat less. I'm afraid there won't be enough for me."
Gu Beihuai: "......"
The elevator stopped at the 22nd floor. Nan Xiangwan opened the door and went inside.
She was sleepy, hungry and tired all at once.
Gu Beihuai familiarly walked into the kitchen and looked around. He had cleaned the kitchen before. Now there were several steamer baskets on top, steaming various hot breakfast items. There was also porridge and noodles cooking in pots.
Xiao Dong really was a versatile assistant!
However, she didn't seem to have noticed at all that the sand pot had cracked earlier. Gu Beihuai had cleaned up without a trace.
Nan Xiangwan looked around. The place had been unbearably messy when she left, but was now spotless on her return.
Her buddy really was reliable!
The two brought their breakfast to the dining table. Nan Xiangwan immediately switched to wolfing down mode.
Gu Beihuai obediently ate only a little. He had simply wanted to spend some time alone with Nan Xiangwan.
But Nan Xiangwan ate too quickly, soon sweeping the entire table clean!
Gu Beihuai's mouth twitched. "Still not full?"
Nan Xiangwan: "Of course not full, but I'm too tired. Going to sleep first."
Gu Beihuai: "Okay, I'll go back and sleep too. Let me know when you wake up and we can eat together."
Marking his spot first to avoid other suitors.
Nan Xiangwan readily agreed, then went back to her room alone.
Gu Beihuai raised his brows. The little cub was quite trusting of him since he hadn't left yet.
This made him happy.
He went upstairs to the rooftop garden, pushing open the glass door.
The connecting glass railing between the two gardens had been removed. The mess on the ground had also been cleaned up, only the damaged flooring remained to be relaid, which looked unsightly from his vandalism.
Gu Beihuai decided to build a small path to fully connect the two gardens!
He could install lamps along the path, but what kind?
The surrounding greenery could also use some improvements, not beautiful enough.
While Nan Xiangwan was fast asleep, Gu Beihuai had already moved on to the next phase of remodeling. The landscape architect logged on!
