Chapter 601 Escape Room
The car exited the airport expressway and headed towards the villa area of the capital.
January in Beijing is shrouded in gray, the roadside trees are bare, and the branches sway slightly in the cold wind.
The car turned into the gate of the capital's villa district and stopped in front of the villa where Yang Rong and Liu Yan lived.
Fu Yibai pushed open the car door, and a gust of cold wind rushed in. He shrank his neck and quickly walked to the door.
Before the door was even opened, you could hear lively sounds coming from inside.
The sounds of Zhao Ning and Jing Chen giggling, the chatter of several women, and background music from a variety show on TV.
He pushed open the door, and warm yellow light and hot air rushed in.
In the living room, Fan Binbin and Li Dabai sat side by side on the sofa, with various fruits and snacks laid out on the coffee table.
Yang Rong was chasing Zhao Ning on the playmat, while Liu Yan was watching TV with Jing Chen in her arms. When Jing Chen saw Fu Yibai enter, he immediately twisted his body from his mother's arms and rushed towards the door.
"dad!"
Fu Yibai changed into slippers and quickly walked over to take his son from Liu Yan's arms.
Jingchen leaned on his shoulder, patted his back with his little hands, and mumbled "Dad" several times.
"You're back?"
Fan Binbin's belly is already noticeably protruding, and even her loose loungewear can't hide the curve.
"Is everything done?"
Fu Yibai nodded, shifted Jing Chen to his other arm and held him, then gently placed his hand on Fan Binbin's lower abdomen.
"How have you been these past few days? Have you been feeling unwell?"
"Very good."
Fan Binbin placed her hand on the back of his hand.
"Why are you all the only ones left at home? Where is everyone else?"
"Sister Lan has joined the crew again; she left the day before yesterday."
She asked me to tell you that it didn't work this time, but you need to try twice as hard next time she has a holiday.
"I've already tried my best, do I need to double it?"
"You should talk to Sister Lan about this."
"What about the others?"
"Jing and Jenny went home to see their parents, and Pear went to Lu Yang's audition?"
"An audition?"
"Yes, Lu Yang wants to invite Li Zi to star in his new play, 'Room'."
They had contacted me before, but I turned them down.
"So that's how it is."
"Yifei and Tiantian went shopping, they should be back soon."
Did you have meal?"
"I ate on the plane."
"It's an airplane meal. I still have food at home; let me heat it up for you."
"Binbin, you rest, I'll go."
Liu Yan put down the fruit plate and got up to walk towards the kitchen.
"Don't make too much, I'm not very hungry."
"it is good."
Liu Yan waved her hand and went into the kitchen.
…………
The dishes on the table had just been cleared away when the door lock clicked.
"Pear is back."
Fan Binbin put down the orange peel in his hand and waved towards the door.
"How did it go? How was the audition?"
Zeng Li changed into slippers and came in, took off her coat and hung it on the coat rack by the door, leaned against Fu Yibai and let out a long breath.
"Passed."
Zeng Li took the orange that Liu Yan handed her, peeled a segment, and put it in her mouth.
"Director Lu is a very nice person. He made the decision on the spot after watching the audition clips."
They want me to join the crew after the New Year; the project will take about two months.
Zeng Li turned to the side, her gaze falling on Fan Binbin's protruding belly.
"How are you today? Did the little guy kick you?"
"Only two months, where did the kicking come from?"
Fan Binbin smiled and waved his hand.
"Dabai's is almost five months along, while she's making quite a splash on her end."
Li Dabai leaned against the other side of the sofa, a cashmere blanket draped over his legs, and his hands on his stomach.
When Fan Binbin mentioned her, she tilted her head and smiled.
"This little guy has been getting more and more active lately, and it's keeping me up at night."
That means the child is healthy.
Yang Rong carried Zhao Ning downstairs. The little girl was perched on her mother's shoulder with a teething toy in her mouth. When she saw Zeng Li, she mumbled "Auntie."
Zeng Li reached out and took Zhao Ning from Yang Rong's arms, then kissed the little girl on the cheek.
Zhao Ning took the teething stick out of her mouth and carefully offered it to Zeng Li's lips, meaning that she should try it too.
Zeng Li obediently bit into a mouthful of air, and Zhao Ning giggled with satisfaction.
At 5:30 in the evening, there was a rustling sound of the door opening and Jing Tian's clear voice.
"Sister Sisi, slow down, the bag is going to fall."
The door opened, and Jing Tian came in first, carrying large and small bags, her face still showing the excitement of shopping.
Liu Yifei changed into slippers, looked up and saw Fu Yibai sitting on the sofa, and froze for a second.
Then her eyes reddened.
"Brother Yibai~"
Liu Yifei walked over quickly, plopped down in Fu Yibai's lap, buried her face in his chest, her shoulders trembling, and her voice muffled with a sob.
Fu Yibai was taken aback for a moment, then reached out and gently patted her back.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Liu Yifei lifted her head from his embrace, her eyes red-rimmed, and pointed at Jing Tian, who was tidying up shopping bags in the entryway, her voice both aggrieved and angry.
"I'm never going shopping with her again!"
Jing Tian was squatting on the ground, taking things out of a bag.
"This is for Sister Binbin, this is for Sister Rongrong, and this is for Sister Yanyan..."
She was muttering the allocation plan when she heard Liu Yifei's accusation. She looked up and blinked at the sofa with an innocent expression.
"Why don't you want to go shopping with Tian Tian anymore?" Fu Yibai looked down at Liu Yifei, who looked aggrieved in his arms, and gently wiped the corner of her eye with his finger.
"On our way back, we passed by an escape room called 'House of Mysteries'."
Liu Yifei sniffed.
"Tian Tian insisted on going in to play, so she dragged me and my two assistants inside."
It was pitch black inside, with scary traps and NPCs popping out all around.
I was inside for over an hour, and I was almost scared to death.
She sat up from Fu Yibai's arms, becoming more and more agitated as she spoke.
"There's a room where you have to lie in a coffin!" Without saying a word, Tian Tian crawled in and urged me to hurry up!
Do you know what it feels like to lie in a coffin and hear sounds from outside? I felt like my heart stopped!
Jing Tian put the last shopping bag on the coffee table and sat down on the single sofa with a pout.
"I didn't expect it to be that scary."
Online reviews said it was quite fun, but who knew the NPCs were so dedicated? The girl dressed as a ghost chased us down a whole corridor!
"You still dare to talk back!"
Liu Yifei sprang up from Fu Yibai's arms and pounced on Jing Tian, her hands heading straight for her waist.
"NPCs are scary enough, but you deliberately scared me! Do you know I almost cried?!"
"Hahaha.
"Sister Sissi, stop scratching me, I was wrong, hahaha."
Jing Tian curled up on the sofa, laughing so hard she could hardly breathe, her legs kicking wildly in the air.
Yang Rong quickly moved Zhao Ning to the side to avoid being affected.
Zhao Ning watched with great interest, clapping her hands and giggling. Jing Chen clapped along with his sister.
