When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 256

The bus continued its long journey, during which time the road grew increasingly rough and muddy terrain. The further it went, the darker and more foreboding it became. After passing through a lengthy tunnel, there was a loud bang, and the bus suddenly stopped; the engine had died. Soon afterward, there was another loud crash, and something heavy landed with a thud, shaking the ground beneath its feet. Looking back, they discovered that a massive boulder had sealed off the tunnel they had passed through earlier. Everyone’s expression changed slightly as they looked around, and then they turned to the hosts, who also seemed perplexed but had no idea what had happened.

“Did we take the wrong road?” Giada asked, looking at the driver.

However, the driver shook his head. “The instructions I received were to bring you here.”

“Here?” Everyone looked doubtfully out the window. In the distance, there was a vast tract of land that had a road that was obviously deserted running through the middle of it. The road led to a strange-looking black building; everything else was desolate except for the building and the road.

“Our program has undergone a change.” The cameraman who had been following them suddenly spoke up. “This program is modeled after a survival TV show. The road you came in on is your only way out and has been blocked off. Moreover, the signal has also been blocked. If you enter this place, it doesn’t matter how high up the social ladder you once stood; you’re now a zero. Both teams can only leave if you manage to find the key that exists in this area.”

He continued, “The first team to find the key wins, and there is only one key. Don’t worry if you can’t find the key; we will pick you up later. This arrangement is not meant to make you fight to the death but for you to test the competence and skills of your secret crush. Of course, secret crushes can also use this time to determine whether the other person is worth liking. Life is long, and only by going through difficulties can one witness a person’s true character, isn’t that so?”

After speaking, the cameraman waved to everyone before exiting the car with his assistant and the driver. As soon as they stepped out of the vehicle, they heard a low rumble overhead, and a helicopter swooped down to whisk them away. However, people on the bus didn’t begin to piece together what was happening until the helicopter ascended into the air and was no longer visible.

“This is supposed to be a fun adventure, isn’t it? What the hell is going on?” Lilith, who had been silent for a long time, angrily kicked a chair and cursed. “They said it’s only a mini adventure, but what the hell is this?”

“How long do they plan to keep us here?” Giada looked around anxiously, her beautiful face full of anxiety. “Is there any water or food here? I didn’t even bring my makeup box. What if my makeup gets messed up?”

“Yeah, yeah! Are we going to have to sleep in this creepy place at night? No way, I won’t do it!” Jodie jumped up from her seat, shaking her head frantically. She was accustomed to living the life of a pampered wealthy lady and sleeping in her comfortable bed with air conditioning that could automatically adjust to her body temperature. Her room was always filled with the scent of flowers, and the bathroom had a large jacuzzi bathtub. Soon, she regretted coming to that godforsaken place to suffer. I was crazy to even agree to this.

Nevertheless, Fiona’s eyebrows also showed worry. After all, as a celebrity, appearance was always important. Coming to a place like that would inevitably reveal one’s true character and form.

Meanwhile, Elyse leaned toward Leo, looking pitiful and about to cry. The previous ‘Show Your Love’ program was arranged quite well. Why did they have to change it to this?

However, Amelie remained silent and composed throughout the event, unlike the other women present.

The men were much more composed than the women, and except for Chester, who muttered a few words in annoyance, the others were silent and lost in thought.

“Don’t worry,” Fabian walked over to Fiona and whispered.
