    The temperature in the room suddenly dropped.


    "It''s too crowded here. We don''t need you around." Stefan red at them, clearly wishing he could disintegrate them with his gaze.


    Slowly, Justin let go of Renee and looked at Stefan coolly. "You''re right. It is pretty crowded here, so you should leave, Mr. Hunt. After all, escape rooms are more suitable for couples."


    "Couple?" Stefan scoffed disdainfully. "Can you two even call yourselves that?" Xavier had told him that Renee and Justin were just dating, trying to see how things would go. Technically, they were not a couple yet, so Stefan felt confident enough to ask.


    "We..." For a moment, Justin was speechless. He didn''t know how to argue since he didn''t know what his current rtionship with Renee was. He wanted to say they were a couple, but Renee hadn''t confirmed it yet. However, they had gone on dates, held hands, and hugged... So could they be considered friends? At the end of the day, the decision was Renee''s.


    "Phoenix, why don''t you tell Mr. Hunt about our rtionship, Justin said finally. He knew that even if he wanted to move their rtionship forward, it was pointless. She might just see him as an ordinary friend, or at most, apanion.


    "We..." Renee started, then hesitated awkwardly.


    "It''s okay. Just listen to your heart." Justin tried to smile, but he knew he had lost. His tone was bitter as he said helplessly, "We''ve been dating each other for a while now. I always knew your thoughts but was too timid to ask you about them. Today, at least I''ll have the opportunity to know. If you still don''t feel that way about me, I can leave and never disturb you again."


    "It''s not the time to talk about that now." Renee nced at her watch, then frowned and added, "The game will end in twenty minutes. Shouldn''t we finish the game first?"


    "I agree!" Jeffrey blurted out, feeling ufortable in the tense atmosphere. He took a deep breath and added brightly, "Plus, I think this morgue is big enough for all of us; it isn''t crowded at all."


    Jeffrey''s words filled Renee with relief, and she quickly chimed in, "Yeah, I''m pretty sure I can even do somersaults in here. Just stay. We''ll be stronger with more people, and we need to finish this game soon!"


    At that moment, the speaker above them boomed, "yers, you have twenty minutes left to finish the game. If you seed, you''ll get a mystery gift. If you fail, you''ll get a horrible punishment. We hope you enjoy the game!"


    After a brief pause, Stefan said, "If that''s the case, let''s finish this. You two can eventually revisit this topic once this is over."


    Justin scowled in displeasure and demanded, "Hey, what do you mean? Do you think my rtionship with Phoenix is just something casual?" He didn''t like the way Stefan implied that his rtionship with Renee was barely progressing.
