    She almost forgot!


    Orion still thought she was engaged to Matthew, didn’t he? Could it be that he had been holding back


    because of that? She needed to clear things up with him as soon as possible….

    “Knock, knock knock”


    “Xan, are you back?”


    “Unclel”


    She bolted off the bed and swung the door open. Oliver was finally relieved as he saw her, “Xan, you’re


    home! You scared the heck out of me!”


    “Why didn’t you answer when I was knocking?”

    7 just got back from dinner.”


    As Xanthea finished, her eyes caught the man standing behind her uncle.


    His dark, obsidian–like eyes were intensely fixed on her, as if, were it not for her uncle’s presence, he


    could devour her whole. His gaze made her avert her eyes and her heartbeat raced.


    The wind downstairs must not have blown him sober yet.


    “Alright.” Oliver stepped inside and turned to give Orion a grateful smile, “Chairman Lockwood, sorry to


    bother you for tonight.”


    “It’s Okay.”


    Orion responded, his gaze unwaveringly fixed on Xanthea, and there was no attempt in hiding it.


    Oliver paused. Seeing this situation, Xanthea quickly tried to close the door, only for it to be stopped


    abruptly by the man’s firm hand. “What what was he doing?


    “Ms. Nightshade, goodnight.”


    Onion fixed his gaze urgently on her, saying “goodnight” with an extremely slow pace. His eyes


    seemed to say–I love you.


    Xanthea’s heart skipped a beat as she met his eyes, which were almost overwhelmed with emotions;


    and she nodded, I, no, you too, goodnight.”


    With a “thud,” she abruptly closed the door, her cheeks burning red.


    She almost said “I

    Distracted for a moment, Xanthea met Oliver’s knowing gaze, “Xan.”


    “Uncle! What brings you here sote?”


    “There’s something important we need to talk about.”


    “What is it?”


    Oliver opened the folder he was carrying, “I never imagined a top–rated national hit show like


    Adventure Blitz: Two Days, One Night would invite you to participate in their next episode. They’ve only


    invited the hottest rising actors or seasoned stars before. You’re the youngest and least experienced


    artist they’ve invited so far, which shows how much they recognize your potential”


    “This show is a live broadcast reality show featuring celebrities, and since it aired, it has maintained a


    top spot in the ratings. Every episode bes a hot topic, drawing massive viewership that even


    saved the nearly bankrupt LAKUwork, and turned it into the top streaming tform like this today”


    “I know you’ve been eager to make a name for yourself, so I came to you as soon as we got the


    invitation. But whether you go or not is up to you.”


    “The production of this show can be extremely demanding. Each episode, the crew flies the guests to a


    designated location, confiscates their food and phones, and istes them within the world of Adventure


    Blitz: Two Days, One Night


    Without providing any food or water, guests mustplete various challenging tasks. Even if you


    regret it, there’s no escaping because the camp ispletely closed off.


    This requires you to have some survival skills akin to those needed in the wilderness. There have been


    guests in the past who, due to ack of life experience, exhausted a lot of energy and fainted from


    hunger during the show. Some even suffered psychological trauma from the program team’s prank


    games, and dared not participate in variety shows again.
