Ye Zexi was so thrilled that, after being embraced by He Jinyun, he only then realized, amid the cheers, that he might have been a bit too exuberant.
He Jinyun promptly released Ye Zexi from his embrace, saying, "Alright, I feel like if I keep smiling, someone over there might come after me."
Ye Zexi turned around and met Shan Zeyu's unfriendly gaze. Seeing this, Ye Zexi's earlier nervousness vanished instantly, and he smiled, "It seems that way."
Just as Ye Zexi was about to look away, he accidentally spotted Tang Jing, who had been silent. Thinking about the question Tang Jing had asked him before the final vote, Ye Zexi felt a pang of guilt.
He quickly walked over and sincerely apologized, "Sorry, Tang Tang."
Tang Jing, initially a bit upset, soon came to terms with it, realizing that Ye Zexi and he were not on the same team, so it was normal for Ye Zexi to act that way.
"It's fine," Tang Jing smiled, accepting the situation. "We lost."
Ye Zexi was relieved to see Tang Jing wasn't angry and smiled back, "That's good to hear."
However, Ye Zexi was still curious, "When did you figure out your identities?" After their initial shock, Wei Bei and You Jia had accepted the outcome but were still puzzled about which information was accurate and which was false.
Seeing the guests' curiosity, the production team began to clarify things. Everyone was shocked to learn that Ye Zexi and He Jinyun had figured out their identities from the start.
"Wow... You're really clever!" Wei Bei exclaimed.
You Jia nodded in agreement, "I thought you only realized your identities on the third or fourth day."
Shan Zeyu, who knew He Jinyun a bit better, snorted, "I had suspected He Jinyun from the beginning, but I never imagined that there would be two spies!"
Tang Jing had a similar thought. Although he briefly doubted Ye Zexi after receiving the hidden task information, he believed Ye Zexi's denial later on.
Knowing their spy identities from the start, Ye Zexi and He Jinyun were like players who had quietly opened their eyes in a game of Werewolf. The other players without information were left vulnerable.
[In the game of "Werewolf," players are divided into two teams: the werewolves and the villagers. Each night, the werewolves secretly choose a villager to eliminate, while the villagers try to identify and vote out the werewolves during the day. The game involves deduction, deception, and strategy, with players trying to achieve their goals without revealing their roles.]
The production team showed several clips of Ye Zexi and He Jinyun's flawless teamwork, leaving everyone in awe. The other participants accepted their defeat with grace.
As the clips played, Tang Jing felt an unexpected pang of discomfort. He hadn't felt this way even when he learned that Ye Zexi had deceived him.
Seeing the nearly perfect coordination between Ye Zexi and He Jinyun in the director's footage, Tang Jing felt an inexplicable sense of defeat.
After the video ended, the director's team presented gifts—gold pendants with the show's logo. The pendants were finely crafted and just the right size. Ye Zexi couldn't help but admire them.
"We really got some beautiful gold," Wei Bei remarked.
"You're making me envious," You Jia added.
"I'm going to steal He Jinyun's," Shan Zeyu joked.
Everyone laughed again.
At that moment, the staff brought out the gifts. Ye Zexi took his, glanced at it for a moment, and then turned to Tang Jing. "Tang Tang, this is for you."
