Overprotected By My Tsundere CEO-Chapter 709 - 447: Fairy Is a Demolition Expert
The release of three consecutive pieces of news stirred the netizens’ curiosity, eager to dig for the inside scoop.
However, before they could start delving into it, they saw netizens spamming —
[Go watch the latest episode of "Escape Room"! Nora Scott turns into a demolition expert, xswl!!!]
[Whoa! The new episode of "Escape Room" features a mysterious couple who might be Nora Scott’s boyfriend!! They’re scattering dog food from a distance, and it’s overflowing! ]
[Hahaha, how adorable is Nora Scott! Everyone, go watch "Escape Room"!]
Some netizens, reminded by this, realized it was time for the new episode’s release, while those who were clueless about it simply got drawn to the show because of Nora Scott’s hype, going as far as to get a membership just to watch the variety show.
The scenes at hotel 307 were split into two episodes.
The first episode covered from the entrance to the end of the second puzzle.
Among the viewers, many hadn’t followed the online news, they just habitually tuned in to catch the show. So, when they first saw Nora Scott paired awkwardly with Jerry Yates, the comments were full of skepticism—
[If it wasn’t explicitly stated that they’re playing a couple, I’d think they’re acting as "the heiress and her bodyguard."]
[Nora Scott, don’t go overboard, who are you giving side-eye to? Don’t think we’re afraid just because we have fewer fans.]
[In the previous episodes, Nora Scott was teamed with Clement Winter, who, as a fan and sycophant, received a bit of care from her like a warm big sister. But this time with Jerry Yates, she shows her true colors?]
[I dislike Nora Scott.]
Jerry Yates, a rising star of the last two years, had a fanbase akin to a cult. Even though he only had over 20 million followers on Weibo, the fan’s combat prowess in controlling comments and keeping things in line made many celebrities steer clear.
And most of the snarky and derogatory comments towards Nora Scott were from Jerry Yates’s fans.
In contrast, Nora Scott’s fans largely transitioned from manga fans and were more laid-back, with a hefty portion of casual followers. Even though they can be fierce during conflicts, they respect comment etiquette and mostly avoid insulting others just to maintain goodwill with onlookers when watching videos.
Yet, Jerry Yates’s fans’ comments stirred discontent among other celebrity fans, making the comments section unbearable to read.
After a brief introduction of the six guests’ roles, the scene jumped straight to the six of them entering the lobby on the first floor, avoiding some unnecessary conflicts—mainly between Nora Scott and Jerry Yates.
But as soon as they started moving, the comments got restless again.
[What’s up with Nora Scott, can’t she be more professional? Clearly a couple with Jerry Yates, yet she’s acting with Hugo Queiroz?]
[Is Nora Scott doing this on purpose?]
[She’s really getting too comfortable.]
[Didn’t certain fans just say to keep Nora Scott away from their idol, and now they’re eating their words?]
...
[It’s refreshing not to see the Fairy with a certain person. Speaking of which, the Fairy and Hugo Queiroz match so well.]
[Aww, Nora Scott and Hugo Queiroz are so in sync, they can find clues with just a look.]
[I beg for Nora Scott and Hugo Queiroz to form a CP! They’re such a fit!!!]
Whether intentional or not, a large number of comments shipping Nora Scott and Hugo Queiroz completely covered up those sarcastic ones.
After the investigation ended, everyone exchanged information and returned to the hotel room.
Just as they settled down, there were ghostly shrieks and wails from the corridor, with the other two groups falling for it consecutively. Yet, on Nora Scott and Jerry Yates’s side, because Nora Scott cautiously had Jerry Yates check the peephole first, they successfully avoided a heart-stopping scene.
[??? Whoa, this Fairy is obviously strong but excessively cautious??!!]
[Hahaha ’Caution is a survival tactic,’ what in the world is that! Fairy, just how harsh is your everyday life!] 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
[Fairy: Caution equals life-saving.]
Jerry Yates fans: ??? Whoa, are you trying to scare my Jerry Yates on purpose?!
...
A brush with danger avoided.
There wasn’t much downtime; they simply edited a few shots to explain what the six guests did after heading back to their rooms. Naturally, the most watched combination was none other than Nora Scott and Jerry Yates.
[Whoa, did Nora Scott just go to sleep like that?]
[This girl really has some nerve.]
[Why does she get to sleep while Jerry Yates has to search for clues alone?!]
[I can’t believe... she even brought her own earplugs?! Why didn’t she just bring an eye mask too?!]
[Came here from Weibo. I heard Nora Scott didn’t participate in designing the escape room this episode, but she still seems to handle everything so effortlessly? It always gives me a sense she’s following a script.]
...
Approaching midnight.
Traps in each room began to activate, one by one the guests fell victim to these schemes, screaming miserably. The comments flooded with "Hahaha," "So pitiful," "Poor brother," flooding the screen.
