High School Belle Fell in Love with Me-Chapter 137 - 118: Survivorship Bias (Double-Length - )
How old is Song Yu? Li Yang isn’t sure.
Because when they showed their ID cards, both sides pixelated the key information, so nothing crucial was revealed.
Song Yu saw Li Yang pick up his phone and then put it down, so she asked, "Did Xiangnu text you?"
Li Yang looked up and asked, "Why her? I get along well with everyone in the group."
Song Yu laughed and said, "Because she’s the only one who would remind you not to get too close to me."
After hearing this, Li Yang measured the distance between them and said, "There’s at least 60 centimeters between us. Even if I wanted to get closer, I can’t reach you. Sixty centimeters isn’t something humans are supposed to have anyway."
"Huh? Haha..."
Twenty minutes later, Li Yang finished his meal and strolled around the entire building with Song Yu.
The space inside was really big, with lots of possibilities for use.
Could open a club... that would work too.
It’s just that the location is too good, opening a club would be a bit of a waste.
Doing something classy would be difficult and not very accessible.
Song Yu obviously doesn’t have strong connections; if she did, even if she set up a street stall here, people would sneak over to buy from her, ensuring she wouldn’t lose money.
"Sister Song, have you heard of escape rooms?"
"Hmm?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Song Yu had heard of it, but wasn’t that a movie?
Seeing Song Yu looking a bit puzzled, Li Yang said, "Have you ever played in a haunted house?"
"Oh oh oh, I have, just run forward with your eyes closed."
Who cares about those things?
She only played once out of curiosity before and never again.
"Yes, it’s a similar concept."
"Ah? My place is small, you can run a few steps and be out. Aren’t those usually in amusement parks? The atmosphere here doesn’t match..."
She already has some experience now and knows what kind of store fits where.
It’s just that even though her location is good, not many industries are actually suitable.
Li Yang explained, "Traditional haunted houses focus mainly on escape and chase, requiring large spaces for enjoyment. But escape rooms don’t need that. Two hundred square meters is already plenty to set up quite a large scenario, and even smaller themes can have three setups in two hundred square meters."
"Where’s the fun in that?"
"Story exploration."
"Exploration?"
"Yes, do you need me to invest? Though I can’t afford it right now, if you’re willing to let me owe you first, I can invest half."
Song Yu glanced behind her, half? That would be uncomfortable...
"Shall we give it a try?"
"Sure!"
Li Yang had played many escape rooms, mainly because there were so many girls there.
To put it bluntly, it gives you a chance to make a move.
If you take your girlfriend to play, it naturally strengthens the relationship. Sometimes, right after agreeing to be a girlfriend and barely holding hands, by the end of the escape room session, you’re kissing.
Because in such a stimulating environment, many people’s brains get exceptionally excited. Excitement leads to less restraint, and the wild inside gradually gets unleashed.
Those who haven’t played think there’s nothing fun about it.
But as long as the atmosphere is done right, with strong immersion, it’s definitely more fun than any scripted murder mystery.
When Li Yang returned, He Lewei asked him, "Hey, where did you run off to? You didn’t even reply to my messages..."
"You think I’m a bachelor like you? I’ve tons of extracurricular activities, can’t just stay in the lousy dorm all day."
He Lewei: "..."
Damn, can’t ever win with this guy.
So he quickly changed his tone: "Yang, I’ve really got my eye on a girl, help me out. Tomorrow I’ll take you to meet her, could you give me some strategies on how to woo her?"
"Tomorrow? Not good, let’s wait until the weekend. Then we can have a meal together, and I’ll see if you’ve got a shot."
He Lewei suddenly got excited, as long as Li Yang steps in, it’s a done deal.
Last time, a simple trick and Fan Shujing has been occasionally chatting with him recently.
Of course, he still remembers the secret Li Yang told him about chatting, mainly about seeming like you’ve said everything but really said nothing.
After all, he’s not that interested in Fan Shujing right now.
Fan Shujing is very pretty, but comparisons are odious, his female tenant is seriously too sexy.
"How about we play some games?"
"I’m busy with something, go ahead first. When the other two dormmates return, you won’t be able to play even if you want to."
"Damn!"
He Lewei really felt that Li Yang clicked with him, even though this guy always steals his girlfriends.
The other two, they’re not involved with the dorm at all, always studying at other places even without classes, like they don’t care about the dorm.
Though outwardly they’re amicable, if they come back while he’s noisily gaming, some conflict might arise.
No need to create tension over games.
At this time, Li Yang was making lists and jotting things down.
Building a complete escape room scenario doesn’t actually take much work, just get the materials and it’ll all be set up within two days.
The main challenge being, the materials are complex and professional photographers for shooting images and videos are needed.
Anyhow, it definitely won’t be ready within a month, and the fastest it can be done is in two months.
By around ten, the other two dormmates returned, so Li Yang and He Lewei stopped using the computers and went to wash up and lie in bed.
Considering these two have been studying hard all day, it’s not convenient to disturb them.
Lying in bed, Li Yang finally started replying to Xiangnu’s messages.
"I’ve asked about it; my son says there’s nothing between him and Song Yu."
