Chapter 42 The Truth

"Zhou Si'an, why are you calling someone for so long?"

Lu Guanqi strode over and shouted at the top of his voice.

His voice was so loud that he could be heard in every corner of the room.

Qi Yanxue glanced over coldly.

Zhou Si'an tilted his head, put his index finger to his lips, and signaled him to speak in a low voice.

Lu Guanqi: “?”

Two people are thieves.

Zhu Wendong woke up again, startled by the deafening voice. She moved her fingers and could feel her body was a little weak and powerless.

Apart from feeling weak, fortunately, I don't feel any pain anywhere in my body.

She took a deep breath and opened her eyes, only to see three people standing in each of the three directions within her visual range.

Zhu Wendong turned his head and looked to the left.

Lu Guanqi was standing on her left, his expression thoughtful. When he saw she woke up, he looked away, looking uncertain and a little guilty.

Look to the right again.

Zhou Si'an still had that warm and friendly face, but the corners of his lips were pursed into a straight line as he looked at Lu Guanqi.

Finally, straight ahead.

Qi Yanxue put his hands in his pockets, his eyes were narrow and sharp, and his high brows cast a shadow. He stared down at her without dodging or avoiding.

Dressed in all black, at the junction of moonlight and darkness, his facial features are distinct and three-dimensional.

Zhu Wendong was almost suffocating under the weight of two layers of blankets. She sat up and pulled them down a little, then asked calmly, "What's wrong?"

Lu Guanqi knew he was in the wrong, so he spoke first, "There's a table game outside, do you want to go?"

His ability to respond on the spot is simply terrifying.

Zhu Wendong didn't realize anything was wrong and subconsciously asked, "Did Zhu Jianyi ask you to come?"

Lu Guanqi walked down the stairs and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, Zhu Jianyi asked us to come."

He emphasized the word 'we'.

"Let's go." Zhu Wendong lifted the blanket and stood up, only to find that he was lying on the recliner.

She clearly remembered that she was in the corridor before she fainted, so how did she end up here?

Before she could think more, Qi Yanxue put a hand in front of her, trapping her between the wall and him.

The rich fragrance of sandalwood surged up, along with his domineering aura, like a cage tailor-made for her.

Zhu Wendong's brain was still frozen and he had no time to think before he was about to speak.

Qi Yanxue withdrew his hand and spread it out in front of her. In the palm of his broad and thick palm, there was a candy wrapped in colorful tinfoil.

The bright moonlight shone on the candy wrapper, like a fragile twinkling star, resting for a moment in his palm.

Zhu Wendong's gaze shifted from the candy wrapper to his eyes, and they stared at each other: "Is this candy?"

The girl's lips were still pale, and her complexion wasn't much better. She looked sickly, like a poor abandoned creature.

"What else could it be?" Qi Yanxue looked at her with his dark eyes without any emotion, but his brows were slightly furrowed.

"Eat it quickly, your mouth is as white as a ghost, don't scare people to death when you go out."

His natural and calm demeanor didn't reveal any of his thoughts, as if he really disliked her ghostly expression.

Zhu Wendong reached out to take the colorful candy, peeled off the candy wrapper, and put it into his mouth.

The sweet and milky taste melts in her mouth, which is her favorite taste.

She has a weak constitution and used to suffer from hypoglycemia if she skipped a meal or in hot weather. She always carries a piece of candy with her, and this flavor is the one she buys most often.

Later, Qi Yanxue urged her to eat on time and fed her with large amounts of expensive supplements, which gradually improved her health. She no longer carried sugar with her.

But now the old ways have returned and things are no longer the same as before.

-

The game played by Zhu Jianyi's group is actually the simplest spinning of the bottle. Whoever the bottle's turn is, has to accept truth or dare.

Those who fail to complete the dare task or refuse to answer the truth can choose to drink three cups as a punishment.

After two rounds, Zhu Wendong, with candy in his mouth, remained calm as he sat in the corner, supporting his chin and watching them play.

In two rounds, Zhu Jianyi was transferred to the next round and chose the big adventure.

The task is to find someone of the opposite sex who was born in the same month as you and drink a cup of wine with him.

Zhu Jianyi knew that there was a person right in front of her, but she insisted on making the game more difficult for herself. After searching around, she finally chose Lu Guanqi with helplessness and disgust.

Similarly, Lu Guanqi saw her disgusted expression and drank the cup of wine reluctantly.

After drinking, the two people seemed to have touched something dirty. One was busy clapping his hands, and the other was busy wiping his mouth, and they were disgusted with each other.

The second round was turned to Lu Guanqi. He seemed to have made up his mind and resolutely chose to take a big risk.

The task is to spend the night in the same room with the person on your left.

As luck would have it, right after we finished drinking the wedding wine and before we had time to change seats, Zhu Jianyi happened to be sitting on my left.

They were all people who could afford to play. Lu Guanqi stared at Zhu Jianyi with a half-smile, and said word by word: "You'd better not take advantage of me."

Zhu Jianyi refused to give in and gnashed her teeth, "I've seen all kinds of men, who would want to eat a piece of tofu like you?"

Lu Guanqi said nothing, just sneered.

Zhu Jianyi's scalp tingled from his laughter, but she still put on a brave face.

Zhu Wendong couldn't help but chuckle twice, and when he looked up again, the next round of the game had already begun.

This time the beer bottle's opening was pointed at her.

The sound of rotation and friction stopped, and everyone's eyes were on her.

Zhu Jianyi slammed the table and asked even more excitedly than she was, "Truth or Dare?"

Zhu Wendong pursed his lips and was about to speak when someone in the distance spoke first.

"Choose the dare. The first two rounds were all about the dare. If you can afford it, choose the dare. If you can't afford it, don't play it."

Zhu Wendong recognized him as the racing driver.

Zhu Jianyi didn't have much impression of him, but he dared to make things difficult for the Zhu family and treated her as a decoration.

"Just shut up. Whoever tells the truth can't play anymore. Did you make this rule?"

The racing driver knew that it was Zhu Jianyi's place, so he curled his lips in displeasure and stopped talking.

Anyway, his goal was achieved.

As long as everyone present hears this sentence, even if no one expresses an opinion, they will agree with it in their hearts.

Guide the public's views and put her on the moral bottom line.

It is indeed a good method, but what is his purpose?

Just because you didn't give him your contact information?

Zhu Wendong felt that this kind of man was quite cowardly and boring.

He always stares at others with a narrow and pedantic look, which makes people feel sick.

The racer was lying carelessly on the chair, with his tongue stuck to one side, his eyes full of determination, and an undisguised prying look in his eyes, which was blatantly offensive and had impure intentions.

The air in the huge private room was becoming increasingly thin. The pressing gazes of the crowd were like sharp blades pointing over her head, neither moving up nor down, yet their presence was so strong that it was impossible to ignore them.

After a long time, a gust of cold wind blew the strands of hair on the side of her face, and she spoke calmly with an expressionless face.

"I choose truth."
