Chapter 264: Chapter 264: Immersive Murder Mystery Game

"Hubby, hubby!"

"I know what we’re going to play now!"

Finally, after spending half the day researching strategies, Yuxin came up with an idea.

She excitedly held her phone screen toward Xiao Fei, her eyes brimming with anticipation.

"Hubby! Let’s go play this!"

"I’m driving, just say it."

"Immersive script murder!"

"It’s kind of like that celebrity detective show!"

"We’ll dress up like ancient people, and then play script murder in a recreated ancient town. There are even staff playing NPCs to assist us—they’re supposedly trained professionals from acting schools!"

"Uh... are you kidding me?"

Xiao Fei felt his dear wife had gone completely nuts.

"I’ve heard about this. Two days and one night, babe? We’d be out for that long?"

"Yeah... you have a point..."

Hearing what Xiao Fei said, Yuxin instantly looked a little disappointed.

Xiao Fei glanced at Yuxin, and his heart softened seeing the look of dejection on his wife’s face.

He suddenly pressed the hands-free button in the car and made a call to Xiao Jun.

The line connected quickly, and Xiao Jun’s voice echoed in the car.

"Son, what’s up?"

"Dad, Yuxin and I might be out playing for two or three days. Could I trouble you to look after the baby?"

"Two or three days?"

"Where are you two heading?"

"Um... specifics aren’t clear yet."

"I see... no problem. You two go have fun. The four of us can take care of the little one for you."

With that, Xiao Fei hung up and turned to arch an eyebrow at Yuxin.

"Hubby..."

Tears welled up in Yuxin’s eyes as she suddenly lunged over.

"I love you to death...!!!"

"Hey, hey!!! I’m driving!!!!"

"Heehee... Hahaha..."

The car was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

"Alright then, hubby, drive safely!"

"I’m going to check out the shop’s details real quick!"

For things like script murder, just one or two people wouldn’t be enough. Usually, you’d pair up with other strangers there to form a group.

So before committing to it, it was best to consult the store about the situation.

Yuxin quickly struck up a conversation with the shop.

After hanging up, she chirped, "Hubby, we’re super lucky!"

"There’s a session this afternoon, and they’re short two people. With us, they’ll have enough!"

Xiao Fei broke into a smile. "Looks like even the heavens are helping us."

"Exactly~"

Yuxin puffed up her chest proudly with a humph.

"I already placed the order. I’ll send you the address for navigation~"

Yuxin opened the navigation app, and Xiao Fei immediately followed the directions to the destination.

The shop had rented out almost half a street to build their immersive script murder experience, converting all the buildings on both sides into Song Dynasty-style architecture.

The investment must have been massive. To save costs, the shop was located on the outskirts of Shanghai, just beyond the official city boundaries.

Only there could the land prices and rentals be somewhat reasonable.

Around 2:30 in the afternoon.

Following the navigation, Xiao Fei and Yuxin arrived at their destination.

As soon as they got out of the car, Yuxin couldn’t help but exclaim, "Hubby, this place feels so deserted!"

"Of course it does."

"Places like these are the only ones where you can rent half a street for a somewhat reasonable price and repurpose it."

Xiao Fei also took in the surroundings.

Though a bit desolate, it didn’t feel dirty or messy.

They were at the edge of a parking lot, and ahead was a small commercial town-like area.

However, this commercial town looked rather rundown; not a single shop seemed to be open. All they saw were "for rent" signs plastered everywhere.

"Hold on, hubby. I’ll call the shop."

Yuxin pulled out her phone and made a call.

Soon, a girl who looked about twenty ran toward them.

The girl was wearing an ancient costume on top but paired it with a modern skirt below. Her hair was a bit messy, as if she was in the middle of prepping her look.

She must be one of the NPCs.

"Hello! Are you Miss Tang and Mr. Xiao?"

The girl raised her head and asked when she reached them.

"You’re both so good-looking!"

"You’re very pretty too, little sis."

Yuxin replied with a smile.

"This way, my lords. The others are already waiting."

With that, the girl led the way, and Xiao Fei and Yuxin followed.

"My lords..."

On the way, Xiao Fei couldn’t help but comment.

"That title..."

"It’s for immersion! Hehehe..."

"I’ve wanted to try this for so long but never got the chance. Then we had the baby, and I just stopped thinking about it."

As she spoke, Yuxin clung to Xiao Fei’s arm.

The girl leading them glanced back, her eyes filled with envy as she watched the chatty and cheerful couple.

"Are you two a couple?"

"There’s another couple in the group you’re joining."

"We’re married," Yuxin replied with a cheeky grin.

"Oh, you’re already married?"

The girl seemed surprised—attractive and young couples getting married at this age weren’t common.

Before long, under the girl’s guidance, Xiao Fei and Yuxin arrived at a courtyard.

At that moment.

The courtyard already had quite a few people gathered.

As Xiao Fei and Yuxin walked in, everyone turned to look at them.

Then...

"Are you... Tang Yuxin...?"

A hesitant voice broke the silence.

Yuxin and Xiao Fei turned toward the voice, both letting out a soft "Huh."

"It’s you...?"

The woman talking wasn’t a stranger—she was Zhang Xiaoya, the one who had tried flirting with Xiao Fei during that traffic jam.

Yuxin abruptly turned to glare at Xiao Fei. "Hubby, you know her?"

"I don’t."

Xiao Fei shook his head.

"But during that traffic jam, her car was next to mine, so we chatted a little."

"Oh, really..."

Yuxin narrowed her eyes.

Chatting just a little?

Based on Yuxin’s understanding of Xiao Fei and Zhang Xiaoya, there was no way it was that simple.

That annoying woman must have been trying to flirt with her man!

Yuxin’s presence instantly expanded—she exuded an unapproachable aura, her entire body screaming "Do not mess with me" as she locked her gaze on Zhang Xiaoya.

She didn’t throw a tantrum—after all, she rarely got to have fun with Xiao Fei, and having a good time was the priority.

Still, she tightened her grip on Xiao Fei’s arm and leaned closer to him.

Without hesitation, she openly claimed what was hers.

"This man is mine. None of you little flirts can even think about touching him!"

Zhang Xiaoya shivered under the full force of Yuxin’s hostile glare...
