Chapter 24
Yin Mu said this with the intention of giving the decision to Chen Qinglin and getting himself out of the situation. Unexpectedly, Chen Qinglin said, "I respect girls' opinions. It depends on what you think."
He threw the ball back to Yin Mu.
Yin Mu immediately wilted: "Ah, me?"
Chen Qinglin added: "Twenty squats, I'll help you do it."
No matter how shameless Yin Mu was, he was too embarrassed to let Chen Qinglin do squats for him. He smiled awkwardly and said, "How can that be possible?"
Zhang Yang refused to give in easily, shouting, "This request I made isn't difficult, is it? Are you giving up now?"
Jiang Nanyu had just embarrassed herself by princess-carrying Zheng Wei, so naturally, she didn't want to let Yin Mu go. She said, "That's right, if you want to play, you have to be able to afford it. Otherwise, if everyone just accepts the punishment, what's the point?"
It was obvious that he wanted to frame Yin Mu and force her to agree.
Zhong Mengyuan immediately retorted: "You can't say that. The rules of the game were set in advance. It's not like the rabbit changed its mind at the last minute. Why can't he accept the punishment?"
[Hmm? Is Zhong Mengyuan trying to protect someone?]
What Zhong Mengyuan said makes sense. Jiang Nanyu is a bit petty.
Chen Qinglin is also very nice, offering to help Yin Mu with squats.
[Hey, isn't it just sitting on my lap? Yin Mu let him sit!]
Am I the only one who noticed that Zhong Mengyuan called Yin Mu a rabbit? Why? It's actually quite cute.
…
Zheng Wei also agreed with Zhong Mengyuan's opinion and resolutely chose to stand in her camp and argue with Jiang Nanyu and Zhang Yang.
Yin Mu felt a headache listening to their quarrel and raised his hand to stop them: "Okay, okay, stop arguing." He turned to Chen Qinglin and said, "Chen Qinglin, how are you?"
"I'm glad you don't mind."
"I'm willing to accept the loss, there's nothing to worry about, so come on."
Zhong Mengyuan still wanted to fight for her: "Rabbit——"
"It's okay, it's okay." Yin Mu waved his hand and called Chen Qinglin, "Chen Qinglin, come here."
Chen Qinglin shook his head, stood up and walked over obediently: "Is it okay? I'm not as light as Zheng Wei."
"No problem, don't underestimate people."
Chen Qinglin sighed helplessly, lowered his head, and looked at Yin Mu's legs. After hesitating for a long time, he sat down carefully, with his hands placed restrainedly in front of him.
Yin Mu suddenly felt his legs sink, but he could also feel that he was deliberately restraining his strength and not putting the weight of his whole body on him.
Zhong Mengyuan quickly brought a fruit plate and waited on the side.
Chen Qinglin picked a green grape and brought it to Yin Mu's mouth.
Yin Mu opened her mouth and bit the green grape. The green grape was not big, so her lips inevitably touched Chen Qinglin's fingers. She noticed his fingers tremble slightly, and she felt embarrassed. She felt a faint burning in her ears.
She pretended to be calm and ate the green grapes without even tasting whether they were sour or sweet.
Chen Qinglin waited for her to finish eating, then handed her a second grape. As soon as she put the grape into her mouth, he immediately stood up, almost as if he was running away.
Yin Mu felt as if smoke was coming out of his head. He swallowed the grape, glared at Zhang Yang, and said, "That's enough."
[Help, I got this weird feeling.]
[Both of them are blushing, right? hhhh. 】
[Although, thank you Zhang Yang! ]
[Hahahaha, I really thought Yin Mu was so calm, but his ears turned red.]
[Ah, I really hope they can switch positions next time.]
…
The instructions for this round are over and the game continues.
Yin Mu's luck today was incredibly bad. In the following rounds, she didn't draw a single ace, and she was also the most likely to be drawn. After experiencing "calling Zheng Wei sister in a sweet voice" and "singing a love song to Jiangnan Yu," she finally couldn't hold it in any longer and said, "This is the last round. I'm going to bed after this round."
Zhong Mengyuan suppressed his laughter and rubbed her head vigorously: "Okay, okay, okay, for your poor condition. - It's getting late, it's really time to rest."
Zheng Wei shuffled the cards and considerately let Yin Mu draw first: "Mu Mu, good luck."
Yin Mu curled his lips: "Thank you."
She looked at the unfolded cards from left to right, and from right to left, unable to make up her mind.
Lu Zilin joked, "How is it? Have you seen through the surface?"
"I wish I could see it." Yin Mu muttered softly, holding up his finger. "Whoever the little rooster points to, I'll choose. —This one!"
"Sure?"
Yin Mu didn't answer, but directly pulled out the card he had chosen. He closed his eyes before daring to hold the card in front of himself, squinting nervously to look at the card.
It's the 4 of Hearts.
Yin Mu sighed unabashedly, leaned back dejectedly, and waited for the verdict of fate: "Who is the ace card again?"
Zhong Mengyuan smiled and shook the cards in his hand: "Sorry, Rabbit, it's me again."
[I can’t laugh anymore, Yin Mu is born with bad luck. 】
These two people are in stark contrast.
[Why can't good luck favor us Yin Mu just once! ]
【Yin Mu: Do you think I want to laugh? 】
[This is blatant showing off! ]
…
"Okay, stop showing off. I know you're lucky." Yin Mu said weakly, "Hurry up and give the order. Let me go back to sleep."
"Hmm..." Zhong Mengyuan thought for a moment and said slowly, "The 2 of Hearts and..."
Yin Mu's heart was in his throat as he stared at Zhong Mengyuan's opening and closing lips.
"Seven of Hearts."
Yin Mu burst into tears, and wanted to shout to the sky: "It's not me!"
"Stop arguing and wait until I finish." Zhong Mengyuan interrupted her mercilessly and continued, "Since the game is over, please ask the Seven of Hearts to carry the Two of Hearts upstairs."
Zhou Jingyu smiled faintly: "I am the 2 of Hearts."
"Where's the Seven of Hearts?"
Chen Qinglin replied calmly: "It's me."
Yin Mu was a little surprised and turned to look at Chen Qinglin, curious about his reaction. She saw Zhang Yang also staring at Chen Qinglin, and the smile on his face faded, with a look of hostility in his eyes.
Zhong Mengyuan didn't expect that Chen Qinglin would draw this card. He raised his eyebrows but didn't urge him.
Zhou Jingyu suggested sympathetically, "Forget it. Everyone is tired today, so let's not make things difficult for Qinglin. —Qinglin, let's admit defeat."
To everyone's surprise, Chen Qinglin accepted her proposal: "Okay, I have a back injury, so I'm not really suitable for this task."
Zhou Jingyu was visibly stunned for two seconds: "It doesn't matter, health is the most important thing."
Chen Qinglin nodded and said, "I'll help Zhou Jingyu with her squats. Let's end the game here for today."
[Yes, it's confirmed. Chen Qinglin simply doesn't want to recite it.]
[You agreed too quickly, Chen Qinglin. Your back injury is just an excuse!]
I felt a little embarrassed for Zhou Jingyu. Was she trying to retreat in order to gain an advantage?
[Zhou Jingyu probably didn't expect Chen Qinglin to agree so readily.]
[Okay, okay, you can sit on Yin Mu's thighs, but other girls can't carry him on their backs, right?]
…
The person Chen Qinglin had to carry was Zhou Jingyu, so Zhang Yang's compromise proposal was naturally what he wanted. After supervising him to do forty squats together with everyone, they went back to their rooms to rest.
When they reached the third floor, Zhong Mengyuan grabbed Yin Mu in the living room and asked in a low voice, "After taking a shower, will you come to my room to see me?"
"Okay, then I'll sleep at your place tonight. I have a lot to tell you."
Zhong Mengyuan agreed: "Okay, then you should go early."
Zheng Wei was about to open the door and enter the house when she turned around and saw the two of them whispering. She asked, "What are you two whispering about?"
Yin Mu said hurriedly: "Nothing, you should go to bed early, good night."
Zheng Wei frowned suspiciously, but didn't care and said, "Good night."
Yin Mu returned to his room, took a shower and changed into pajamas. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he opened the door a crack and took a look before going out. After confirming that there was no one in the living room, he quickly walked to the door of Zhong Mengyuan's room and knocked twice gently.
Zhong Mengyuan quickly opened the door: "Come in."
She was wearing pajamas and was packing clothes with wet hair, which were scattered all over the bed. Yin Mu pulled aside a few clothes, climbed onto her bed with ease, sat cross-legged, and watched her busy.
Zhong Mengyuan put away the clothes and hung them one by one in the closet, then asked casually, "No one saw it, right?"
"No, they are all in the room."
"That's good." Zhong Mengyuan closed the wardrobe, walked over and sat down next to Yin Mu, tilting his head to look at her seriously.
Yin Mu felt uncomfortable being looked at by her and reached out to push her face: "Don't look at me like that, it's weird!"
"What's wrong? I can't even look at you." Zhong Mengyuan protested dissatisfiedly. She imitated Yin Mu and sat face to face with her. She said, "It's weird. It's the same face, but the you now look different from the real you."
"It looks better now, doesn't it?" Yin Mu touched his face. "With my reversed day and night schedule, my complexion is bad, and I have dark circles under my eyes all year round. It really doesn't look good."
"No, it's just that it looks better in a different way." Zhong Mengyuan smiled, but couldn't help sighing, "Anyway, it's great to see you alive and kicking."
Yin Mu also sighed deeply: "Yeah, I also thought I would never see you again."
Zhong Mengyuan lowered his eyes and patted the back of her hand.
"So, how did you get here? What's the condition of your body?" Yin Mu asked in a series of questions, "Do you know what we need to do to get back?"
"Don't worry, we have plenty of time to talk slowly."
"Of course I'm anxious. What if I don't get back yet and my parents..."
"Don't worry about that," Zhong Mengyuan comforted her. "I've talked to your uncle and aunt, and they're very firm. They all said they'll wait until you wake up."
"What about you?"
"Me? Of course I'll go back with you." Zhong Mengyuan smiled lightly, paused, and began to recount her experience. "After sending you to the hospital, I couldn't believe you would encounter such an accident. When I got home that night, I was still thinking about you and couldn't fall asleep no matter what. I didn't fall asleep until dawn. After I fell asleep, I had a strange dream. I dreamed that you were participating in a dating variety show. The dream was so real, it was as if I was there."
Yin Mu was stunned and couldn't wait to ask, "Then what?"
"Then I woke up, and a voice in my head told me that if I wanted you to wake up, I could come and help you."
"help me?"
Zhong Mengyuan nodded solemnly: "Yes, I will accompany you to finish this damn plot."
