Pregnant After Healing the Alpha-Chapter 695 - 684: Is Qiao Jing a Fox Spirit?

Qiao Jing nodded upon seeing this and replied:

"Hello, I’m Qiao Jing."

Since they had been assigned to the same team, it was necessary to get to know each other briefly.

Zhou Yunxiang was truly dazzled by Qiao Jing’s appearance; his gaze lingered on her face for a while, reluctant to move away.

When Li Yunyun saw Qiao Jing’s face, jealousy arose in her heart first, then her eyebrows knitted in displeasure.

Just as she was about to pull Zhou Yunxiang aside, she noticed he was still staring intently at Qiao Jing’s face.

Li Yunyun’s eyes instantly widened in anger, and she slapped the back of Zhou Yunxiang’s head.

"What are you staring at?!"

Zhou Yunxiang then snapped back to reality and coughed.

"Nothing, let’s start looking for clues. We can’t stay in this room forever, can we?"

Qiao Jing hadn’t noticed their interaction, as she was busy looking around the room for clues.

She slowly walked over to the only table in the room, pulled open the drawer, and found a piece of paper inside.

Upon seeing the Roman cipher written on the paper, she understood the meaning of the sentence at a glance.

Zhou Yunxiang quickly walked over to Qiao Jing when he saw she had found a clue.

"Qiao Jing, what clue have you found?"

Seeing her boyfriend rush over to another woman, Li Yunyun’s anger flared up again.

She strode forward a few steps and directly yanked Zhou Yunxiang back.

"Why are you getting so close to her?! And why are you calling her name so affectionately, what’s that about?"

Zhou Yunxiang replied with a resigned expression:

"Yunyun, I’m looking at the clue. How can we get out if we don’t look at the clue? If you think calling her by her name is too intimate, can I call her Miss Qiao, is that okay?"

Li Yunyun unapologetically rolled her eyes at Qiao Jing and clung onto Zhou Yunxiang.

"Why do you need to get that close to check the clue? Come back here!"

Every time she saw Qiao Jing’s face, she felt that the other was definitely a vixen, someone who lived off her looks.

She was deliberately using the clue to attract her boyfriend—clearly trying to seduce him!

When she entered the store earlier, she had seen Qiao Jing sitting with a man, who seemed to be in a couple as well, but it was too dark at the time to see their faces clearly.

But now, with Qiao Jing trying to seduce her boyfriend so openly, it must be because her own boyfriend was too ugly, which is why she was trying to lure hers away!

Yes!

That had to be it!

Zhou Yunxiang looked at Li Yunyun utterly baffled, but he dared not refute her, eventually giving up the idea of deciphering the Roman cipher.

"Alright then."

Qiao Jing noticed Li Yunyun’s hostility towards her, glanced at her indifferently, and paid no attention to it.

She placed the paper with the Roman cipher on the table and quickly walked toward the door, finding that it was a cipher-lock door, which corresponded with the Roman cipher.

Qiao Jing reminded them:

"You guys crack the code."

Although she knew the password for the door at a glance, she chose to let her teammates have some sense of game experience by figuring it out themselves.

Zhou Yunxiang hurriedly picked up the Roman cipher from the table and began to study it.

Li Yunyun snorted and glared at Qiao Jing with displeasure.

"Pfft, if you don’t know, just admit you don’t know. What’s with this talk about letting us figure out the code? Is it that hard to admit you don’t understand?"

Hearing Li Yunyun’s words, Zhou Yunxiang paused in his examination of the Roman cipher and tried to restrain her in a low voice:

"Yunyun, don’t speak to Miss Qiao like that."

Even though he knew his girlfriend was just like that, he absolutely couldn’t indulge her and allow Yunyun to be so impolite to Qiao Jing.

As soon as Li Yunyun heard this, her anger flared up even more, and she promptly grabbed Zhou Yunxiang by the ear.

"What do you mean? Are you taking Qiao Jing’s side? Are you starting to turn your back on me?"

Zhou Yunxiang helplessly grabbed Li Yunyun’s hand and explained,

"I’m not, I just don’t want you to speak about Miss Qiao like that, and I can solve this puzzle."

Li Yunyun rolled her eyes and stood aside, refusing to speak.

Qiao Jing couldn’t bother dealing with Li Yunyun and waited by the door for Zhou Yunxiang to crack the Roman cipher.

She had originally thought the escape room’s puzzles would be somewhat challenging, but the first stage was just too simple.

Sure enough, if she didn’t let her teammates have a chance, they probably wouldn’t experience much of the game since she could solve the Roman cipher in less than a minute and move on to the next stage.

Zhou Yunxiang stared at the Roman cipher for a long time, deciphering the first few numbers but got stuck on the last one.

"This last one is... Yunyun, wait for me a moment, I’ll have it solved soon."

Li Yunyun merely uttered an "Oh."

Zhou Yunxiang strained and stared at it for a long time again, listing a couple of numbers, but still felt something was off.

Finally, to verify whether those numbers were correct or not, he went directly to the doorway and tried each of the passwords he had come up with.

But all the passwords were wrong.

Zhou Yunxiang had no choice but to take out the piece of paper and start studying it once more.

Seeing Zhou Yunxiang was wasting so much time, Qiao Jing spoke up to give him a hint,

"The last number is 5."

If they proceeded at Zhou Yunxiang’s pace, they might get stuck on the first stage.

Since he had already solved a few numbers and was just missing the last one, it seemed better to give him a hint.

Because she was looking forward to the puzzles in the next stage and didn’t want to waste time on the simple first one.

Li Yunyun sneered, crossing her arms and her face was brimming with scorn.

"Do you even understand? Don’t pretend to know if you don’t, okay? You glanced at that paper for a second and walked away, and I looked at it earlier, it’s a Roman cipher. Are you saying you figured out the last number as 5 just with a glance?"

Qiao Jing paid no attention to Li Yunyun and waited for Zhou Yunxiang to open the door.

She couldn’t be bothered to waste time arguing with Li Yunyun and delay their progress.

Zhou Yunxiang, with furrowed brows, tried the number Qiao Jing mentioned. Suddenly, there was a click from the lock, and the tightly secured door slowly started to open a crack.

Seeing Zhou Yunxiang open the door, Li Yunyun’s face lit up with a smile.

"Did you solve it? What’s the last number? Tell it to Qiao Jing, so she knows she was just spouting nonsense."

After saying that, she looked at Qiao Jing with a disdainful gaze.

Zhou Yunxiang glanced at Li Yunyun awkwardly and replied,

"The last number is 5, Miss Qiao was right."

After hearing Zhou Yunxiang’s words, Li Yunyun’s face darkened immediately, the scornful look still not fully withdrawn.

She asked incredulously,

"What? She was right?"

Her eyes widened slightly as she looked at the now expressionless Qiao Jing, her mind racing to come up with a possibility.

"Psh, it was just a fluke, nothing to brag about. Let’s go, hurry to the next stage and not waste time here."

As Li Yunyun spoke, she opened the door of the room. Upon seeing the dim light in the corridor outside, she immediately pulled back her step and tugged Zhou Yunxiang’s sleeve.

"I’m scared... Can you go first?"
