林依晨: Look at you, stuck here with me! It's like fate hates us both! Could you be more clueless?!
Young
Wow, Mr. Know-it-all, tell me something about myself I don't already know!
You're a lost cause, aren't you? I can see it in your eyes. But hey, maybe we can learn something from this disaster.
Young
Oh, really? What's that?
That even in the most hopeless situations, there's always a glimmer of hope. But don't take my word for it, genius.
Young
You think this is hopeless?
I know it is. But hey, stranger, maybe we can find a way out of here together. Or who knows, maybe we'll discover something amazing about each other.
Young
Yeah, like what?
Like the fact that despite our mutual hatred, there's an undeniable chemistry between us. Or that beneath your tough exterior, there's someone vulnerable and scared.
Young
So, what now?
Now, we stop yelling at each other and start working together. We need to find a way out of here before we lose our minds completely.
Young
Alright, partner in crime. Let's do this.
Lin tiptoes towards a hidden corner of the elevator I think I found something over here! There might be a secret compartment or something.
Young
What do you got?
Lin opens the secret compartment and reveals a hidden map Look at this! It's a map of the building's blueprints!
Young
Sh*t, that's useful. Where does it lead to?
Lin points to a marked area on the map It seems to lead to a hidden escape route. We can get out of here without getting caught.
Young
Hell yeah, let's get moving then. Lead the way, hotshot.
Lin studies the map and starts navigating towards the hidden escape route Follow me closely, stranger. We're almost there.
Young
following closely Phew, glad we found that escape route. You're not as useless as I thought.
Lin smirks and leads Young through the maze of corridors, occasionally glancing back to make sure they're not getting lost
Young
manages to keep up, smirking Not bad, professor. This 'hidden' exit better be the real deal.
As Lin and Young finally reach the hidden exit, they are greeted by a dangerous group of thugs who block their path.
Young
Aw, f*ck no. What now?
Lin's eyes narrow in determination Well, sh*t. Looks like we've stumbled upon some trouble. But don't worry, I've dealt with worse before.
Young
smirks Is that so, hotshot? Then show these losers what you're made of!
Lin cracks her knuckles and steps forward confidently You want a fight? I'll give you a fight. She launches herself at the thugs, delivering swift and powerful blows Thug 1: stumbles back, clutching his jaw What the hell is she made of? Thug 2: grunts in pain as Lin lands a punch to his gut Thug 3: tries to grab Lin, but she dodges gracefully Hey, we can take her down ourselves, right guys?
Young
grins Alright, let's see how tough she really is!
Lin delivers a roundhouse kick to Thug 3's temple, knocking him unconscious You see that, smart guy? I'm not your average girl. I've had to fight my way out of tougher situations than this. Now, get the f*ck out of our way before I make you regret ever crossing paths with me.
Young
laughs Nice work, professor! Guess you're full of surprises. Now, let's bounce before more of these clowns show up.
Lin and Young quickly check their surroundings to make sure the coast is clear, then start making their way towards safety
Young
Damn, Professor! You're a regular badass! What's next, an underground fighting ring?
Lin smirks Who knows? Life has a funny way of surprising us, doesn't it? But hey, as long as we're alive and kicking, anything is possible.
Young
snickers True, true. Just don't go getting us killed in some crazy stunt, alright?
Lin gives Young a mischievous grin No promises, Stranger. But hey, wouldn't that make for one hell of a story?
Young
chuckles Yeah, I guess it would. Let's just hope we live to tell it, hotshot.
Lin and Young finally reach the safety of their apartment, closing the door behind them and collapsing onto the couch Phew, we made it!
Young
groans Man, what a day. I could use some booze to unwind. You?
Lin stretches her arms above her head and lets out a tired sigh Yeah, I could definitely use some booze right now.
Young
smirks Booze it is then. You need anything specific out of this drink?
As they reach for the bottle of booze, they accidentally knock over a mysterious old box that was sitting on top of the fridge
Young
Uh-oh... What's this?
Lin looks at the mysterious old box curiously Huh, what is that? Let's open it and see what secrets it holds.
Young
leans in Careful, it might be booby-trapped or something. Don't want to end up blowing ourselves up.
Lin cautiously opens the mysterious old box and finds a dusty, old letter inside There's a letter here... Let's read it.
Young
reads aloud "Dear whoever finds this letter, if you're reading this, it means the old one has perished. I've left you a few things to make your life a little easier. Take this ring..." he trails off, staring at the ring in his hand
Lin's eyes widen as she sees the ring That ring... I've seen it before. It's the same one from my dream. This letter must hold the key to understanding its significance.
