Shocking! A haughty and arrogant older sister was relentlessly pinned against a wall by a cold and a

Chapter 32 Crying is Key

"Damn it!" Song Yifei couldn't help but curse, immediately throwing the puppet aside, as angry as a little lion. "Good heavens, the production team is ruthless, they actually resorted to underhanded tactics!"

Immediately afterwards, she gave Cheng Ai a thumbs up and exclaimed, "As expected of Sister Ai, your observation skills are truly remarkable!"

[From Fei Fei fan to hater! There should be limits to sycophancy, and there's no need to change how you address someone so frequently!]

[I agree with you upstairs, but I'm afraid of getting scolded, so I haven't dared to say it, hahaha.]

At this moment, all six guests were squatting beside the dressing table, staring intently at the two wooden puppets lying quietly on the floor.

They are clearly distinguishable by gender, about half a meter tall, entirely red, with smooth skin and very realistic carvings. At first glance, they look like a pair of golden boys and jade girls.

"Aside from the words, there doesn't seem to be anything special about it." Zhong Zheyi pondered for a moment. "Could this be the puppet that Director Gong was talking about?"

Wu Xu couldn't figure it out either. He stroked his beard and pondered, "If that's the case, then why can't we touch it? And how are we supposed to take it away?"

"There are a lot of tattered clothes on the ground." Song Yifei looked at Hao Jian and suggested with a grin, "You have the most points left, why don't you try helping everyone first?"

Hao Jian felt a chill run down his spine. He stiffly forced a smile, frowning as he refused, "I don't think... it's a safe bet..."

"Huh?" Song Yifei looked puzzled. "Why?"

Hao Jian hugged Cheng Baoni tightly, took a deep breath, and explained matter-of-factly, "Baoni only has 11 points, and I need to use my points to exchange for food for her!"

What a deeply affectionate lover! I wonder how much of it is genuine.

Haha, you talk a good game, and if you say it a few more times, I'll start to believe you.

Cheng Baoni was moved to tears and immediately snuggled into his arms, saying sweetly, "A-Jian~ Thank you~"

She paused, her gaze sweeping over everyone, her brows furrowed with calculation. "My sister's points are second highest, and she doesn't need that much food. Rather than wasting it, we should serve everyone."

After saying that, she raised an eyebrow at Cheng Ai, smiling gently and innocently, "Sister, what do you think?"

For a moment, the entire room fell into an eerie silence.

After a long silence, Song Yifei broke the deadlock.

Her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground, clutching her head in agony, yelling and screaming, "Aaaaaah... what the hell did we break... why are we getting points deducted like this...?!"

The wailing stopped abruptly the next second. She blinked hard, pointed to the roof, and exclaimed, "Look! There's a clue!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked up and saw a large character for "cry".

"What the hell?" Song Yifei rubbed her temples, looking utterly dejected. "What is Director Gong up to now? Does he want everyone to cry?"

"You're right." Cheng Ai added casually, ignoring everyone's bewildered gazes, and slowly spoke, word by word, "Obedience puppet, puppet obedience, is it you who is obedient, or the puppet?"

Once he was enlightened, Zhong Zheyi suddenly realized, "No wonder we couldn't figure out the riddle, so this is the answer!"

Wu Xu patted Cheng Ai's shoulder approvingly, "Ai girl, you're really smart, I admire you."

Song Yifei gritted her teeth and gave the camera the middle finger, saying, "Director Gong, you're not only cunning, you're vicious!"

Then, she changed the subject, took Cheng Ai's arm, and said with a fawning expression, "But don't be so smug. With Sister Ai around, we'll definitely be able to collect all the puppets and get out of the castle!"

Hao Jian finally realized what was happening and excitedly slapped his thigh. "Great! I can't stand this hellhole for another second. Let's follow the clues!"

The five of them sang in unison, their teamwork impeccable, as if victory was already in their grasp, while Cheng Baoni remained completely bewildered.

She glanced at the words above, then at the puppet on the ground, her brows furrowing. "What are you talking about? I don't understand a single word."

Hao Jian glanced at her with disdain, secretly rolling his eyes.

Both are Cheng Yunfan's daughters, so why is Cheng Ai so clever and quick-witted, while Cheng Baoni is as stupid as a pig?

[Can someone please explain what exactly the guests are up to?]

[Quiet down, can't you see that bitch is asking that question?]

Haha, even though I'm just as absent-minded as her, as long as I don't say anything, who would know?

Unfortunately, no one could answer Cheng Baoni's question. Song Yifei faced the wall, her face fell, her mouth gaped open, and she burst into tears.

Wu Xu seemed to be thinking of something sad, his eyes reddened, and he lowered his eyes and sobbed silently.

The somber atmosphere quickly affected Zhong Zheyi. He closed his eyes with a somber expression, recalling his deceased parents, and two lines of tears instantly rolled down his cheeks.

Cheng Ai rubbed her face, her mind filled with her master's face, sometimes kind and sometimes serious. Her nose stung, her eyelashes grew wet, and she finally couldn't help but cover her mouth and sob.

Since there was no photographer, Hao Jian could only pinch his thigh and squeeze out tears while trying to get in the shot of the other three people.

As for Cheng Baoni, she stood there dumbfounded, completely at a loss.

They cried their eyes out, which was torture for the viewers in the live stream:

Thankfully, I immediately muted it, otherwise I would definitely have gone deaf.

【Feifei, stop yelling so loudly, or the neighbors will complain that we're hitting our child!】

[Ai Ai's makeup, combined with her tears, made her resemble a daffodil bud about to bloom, breathtakingly beautiful.]

Haha, the angel brother is pretty good too, so cute and adorable!

Is Hao Jian really an actor? Others can cry easily, but he seems to use pain to stimulate himself.

[Excuse me, everyone, I really couldn't hold it in any longer. Don't you guys think this scene is... a little eerie?]

[I must say, it's quite creepy, like the wailing at a funeral.]

[Got it! The hidden rule in this room is: touching the puppet deducts 1 point! Not crying for a certain period deducts 2 points!]

[That's hilarious, she only has 9 points left, she probably won't have any food tomorrow.]

Cheng Baoni finally figured out why she was penalized. She looked at Hao Jian with a puzzled expression and started sobbing.

This situation lasted for about three minutes until the announcement came again, at which point the crying stopped.

The puppet on the floor began to shake violently, then suddenly jumped up, shaking its neck and swaying its limbs, making a creaking, grinding sound that sent chills down the spine.

Hao Jian grabbed Cheng Baoni's arm tremblingly, swallowing nervously. "What's this thing going to do? It's not going to suddenly jump over and attack us, is it?"
