Chapter 46
Jiang Nanyu carefully put away his guitar, and Zhou Jingyu suggested that since they had nothing to do, they might as well play some other games, and the few of them hit it off immediately.
Zhang Yang said, "Four people is a little too few. What can we play?"
Yin Mu didn't have any ideas. He looked around boredly. When he saw Jiang Nanyu's guitar case, he suddenly had an idea: "Let's guess the words."
Jiang Nanyu asked with great interest, "How do you guess?"
"Three people ask a question, and the fourth person guesses. During the guessing process, they can narrow down the list by asking questions to the questioner. The questioner can only answer with 'yes' or 'no'. The person with the shortest cumulative time wins. How about that?"
"That's fine." Jiang Nanyu agreed, and added, "Then let's also set a punishment. That way it will be more interesting."
"Right, punishment creates motivation," Zhang Yang suggested. "Then the winner can designate a task for the loser, and unless there's a valid reason for them to refuse, they must do it. How about that?"
Zhou Jingyu nodded. "Very good, I agree. —Yin Mu, what about you?"
Yin Mu spread his hands: "I have no objection. However, we can't keep guessing endlessly. If we can't guess it in ten minutes, we will automatically lose, okay?"
All three of them said they had no objection and could accept it.
"Shall we get started?" Zhou Jingyu stood up. "I'll get a pen and paper and a stopwatch."
[Ah? You four want to play?]
[Emm, surprisingly, it's quite harmonious.]
[I thought Yin Mu didn't want to play with them.]
[Well, we're not enemies, why can't we play together?]
[It's a shame, it would be more fun if there were more people.]
…
Zhou Jingyu brought out paper and pen, and the four of them decided the order of guessing the words by rock-paper-scissors. In that order, it was Zhang Yang, Zhou Jingyu, Jiang Nanyu, and Yin Mu was lucky for once, and was the last one.
Zhang Yang was the first to play the game. He watched the other three people huddled together, whispering, and swallowed nervously. He warned them, "Don't come up with any uncommon words. I won't be able to guess them until next year."
Yin Mu said without turning his head: "Don't worry, it will definitely not be difficult for you."
Zhang Yang was still worried: "I hope you are really that kind."
When Yin Mu heard him mention the word "kindness", he wrote it down on a piece of paper and asked Zhou Jingyu and Jiang Nanyu, "How is it?"
Zhou Jingyu said, "Isn't such an abstract word too difficult?"
Yin Mu blinked: "It's okay, and he said it himself."
Jiang Nanyu also agreed: "I think it's not difficult, let's choose this word."
"Okay, that's it." Seeing that they both had reached an agreement, Zhou Jingyu stopped objecting. She placed the paper button on the coffee table and asked, "Zhang Yang, are you ready? I'm going to start the timer."
Zhang Yang wasn't prepared at all, so he could only bite the bullet and accept the challenge: "Okay."
Zhou Jingyu pressed the stopwatch: "Okay, ask."
Zhang Yang had no idea how to choose a word from the vast vocabulary. He frowned and thought for a long time, not knowing where to start. "Hmm, this word..."
He hesitated but couldn't ask the question.
Zhou Jingyu couldn't stand it anymore and said, "This word refers to an animal, or an object, or something related to something. You can ask any of these questions."
Zhang Yang, as if grasping a lifeline, simply followed Zhou Jingyu's prompt and asked, "Is this word an animal?"
Yin Mu couldn't help but complain: "She was just making an analogy, why did you really ask?"
Zhang Yang was a little annoyed: "Isn't that all I'm asking?"
"Okay, okay." Yin Mu surrendered, "The answer is no."
Zhang Yang finally found some clues and continued to ask, "Is it an object?"
"no."
Zhang Yang thought for a moment and asked, "Is that used to describe something?"
"Yes."
Zhang Yang hadn't expected to grasp the point so quickly. Encouraged, he asked further, "Is it describing something good or bad?"
Yin Mu raised his hands and made an X sign, saying, "This question cannot be answered with 'yes' or 'no'. Ask it again."
"Okay." Zhang Yang lowered his head and asked, "Is this a good word?"
"Yes."
"Is it used to describe food?"
"no."
Yin Mu saw that he had just gotten closer to the answer, but in the blink of an eye he had gone astray again, and he sighed silently.
Zhang Yang asked a bunch of questions again, but when the ten-minute limit was almost up, he still hadn't answered anything. He had no choice but to admit defeat dejectedly: "Didn't I say it wouldn't be too difficult? Where's the kindness you promised me?"
Jiang Nanyu snapped his fingers and said, "Congratulations, you got the answer right!"
"Huh?" Zhang Yang looked confused. "How can it be right? What exactly is the word?"
Zhou Jingyu smiled and showed him the answer: "Kindness is a word you said yourself. Yin Mu asked the question."
Yin Mu didn't forget to add insult to injury: "I already said I won't make things difficult for you, why do you think people are so vicious?"
“…”
【Hahahaha, Yin Mu’s question is brilliant.】
【Zhang Yang was completely confused.】
【It was so funny, I got the answer right by accident.】
Zhang Yang's expression of disbelief and speechlessness is hilarious.
[Report! Yin Mu, the villain, is the first to complain!]
…
Regardless of the twists and turns, Zhang Yang at least answered the first question correctly, and immediately felt proud: "Yin Mu, wait and see how I will give you a question."
Yin Mu kindly reminded him: "Hold on a bit, the next one is Zhou Jingyu, not me."
Zhang Yang took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Okay, I'll remember this for now."
The next person to guess the words was Zhou Jingyu. Zhang Yang and Jiang Nanyu naturally wanted to let her win. Yin Mu was too lazy to argue with them and just followed their wishes and asked a simple question about something he had just come into contact with - guitar.
Zhou Jingyu's thoughts were clearly much clearer than Zhang Yang's. She immediately asked, "Is it a specific item?"
Jiang Nanyu rushed to answer: "Yes."
Yin Mu felt that his reaction was too obvious and glared at him.
Jiang Nanyu touched his nose awkwardly and stopped talking.
Zhou Jingyu was very perceptive. Perhaps she had caught a clue from their expressions. After thinking for a while, she asked, "Is this item related to Jiang Nanyu?"
Yin Mu thought Zhou Jingyu had probably guessed what the word was, so he sighed and said, "Yes."
Zhou Jingyu, probably to be on the safe side, asked another question: "Did you use it today?"
"Yes."
"Then I know." Zhou Jingyu said confidently, "The word is guitar, right?"
"Yes." Yin Muliang gave the answer, then looked at the stopwatch and announced, "Zhou Jingyu took three minutes and eleven seconds."
[Damn, is it that strong? ]
[Just three questions? Zhou Jingyu is amazing!]
[This intuition is terrifyingly strong.]
[It feels like Yin Mu is hinting at Zhou Jingyu in disguise.]
[This is definitely number one, right? Can Jiang Nanyu and Yin Mu be faster than this? ]
…
When it was Jiang Nanyu's turn, he jokingly said, "I can't beat Zhou Jingyu anyway, so I'll just try not to lose to Zhang Yang."
Zhang Yang laughed at him, "Don't brag so early, you might not even be able to guess it."
Jiang Nanyu retorted, "As long as you don't deliberately make things difficult for me."
Yin Mu felt a headache after hearing this: "Can you two stop bickering? I can't think of any good words to say. - Zhou Jingyu, you come up with some questions and see what else they have to say."
"Okay." Zhou Jingyu nodded, looked around, picked up a pen and wrote two words on a piece of paper: "Mineral Water." She asked Yin Mu and Zhang Yang, "Is it okay?"
"This is too easy," Zhang Yang said dissatisfiedly. "After looking at it all, my question is still the hardest. This is not fair."
Yin Mu caught the key word again, motioned for Zhou Jingyu to hand him the pen, and took another piece of paper and wrote two large words: "Fairness."
Zhang Yang burst out laughing. "You're amazing, Yin Mu."
"That's fair now."
Zhang Yang gave her a thumbs-up: "That's so fair. I fully agree."
Jiang Nanyu looked at them and immediately had a bad feeling in her heart: "Why do I feel that you all have bad intentions?"
"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense and see if you have what it takes." Zhang Yang urged Zhang Yang with a stopwatch, "Are you ready? Let's begin."
Jiang Nanyu waved his hands helplessly: "Okay, okay, come on." He paused and began to ask, "Is it an item?"
"no."
Jiang Nanyu wilted upon hearing this: "It's over. Looks like you've come up with another incredible question. I've seen through you."
He racked his brains to think of questions to ask, but no matter how hard he tried, the other party kept saying no. Even after the ten-minute time limit expired, he still hadn't guessed the answer. He conceded defeat in frustration: "Okay, I can't guess. What's the answer?"
Zhang Yang proudly displayed his answer: "It's fair. You've been asking questions and asking questions, but you haven't even scratched the surface."
Jiangnan Yu was struck by lightning, feeling completely unwell. "Who asked that question? That's too much! Zhang Yang, are you deliberately looking for trouble?"
Yin Mu also felt that his question was indeed difficult, and weakly raised his hand to admit: "I asked it."
Jiang Nanyu slumped his shoulders in frustration: "What grudge do I have against you..."
【Yin Mu is a professional question setter! 】
[Actually, Jiangnanyu's question is similar to Zhang Yang's.]
[That's right! How fair!]
[It's over, Yin Mu is making enemies everywhere.]
[It's so funny, Yin Mu, you don't even leave yourself any wiggle room.]
…
After three rounds, Zhou Jingyu performed the best, Jiang Nanyu the worst, and Yin Mu's turn followed. Having offended both Zhang Yang and Jiang Nanyu, she knew her situation was dire. She watched the two of them whispering, presumably discussing how to "punish" her, and shrugged helplessly.
Judging from the current situation, Zhou Jingyu has an absolute advantage. Even if there is time for another round, she will probably win. She should not make any excessive demands.
Yin Mu pondered this secretly, then looked at Zhou Jingyu, only to see her smile slightly, her lips moving as if she were mouthing something. She didn't understand what he was saying at first, and blinked blankly.
Zhou Jingyu slowed down and repeated it again.
Yin Mu understood this time, but he still had doubts and didn't dare to believe her. Zhou Jingyu had revealed the questions? Was she deliberately trying to trick him?
At this time, Zhang Yang and Jiang Nanyu both looked up. Zhang Yang raised the paper in his hand with a confident look: "We have finished the questions. Yin Mu, you can start asking questions."
Yin Mu fell into deep thought. Should he believe Zhou Jingyu or not? This was the question.
[Hmm? Did Zhou Jingyu say something?]
【Zhou Jingyu cheated! 】
[Someone who knows lip reading, please tell me what Zhou Jingyu said.]
【It seems to be four words.】
[Four words are too difficult, Zhang Yang and Jiang Nanyu are definitely seeking revenge!]
