Chapter 47
Seeing Yin Mu lost in thought, Jiang Nanyu called out to her, "Yin Mu?"
"Hmm?" Yin Mu came back to his senses. "Okay, let's get started."
Yin Mu saw that Zhou Jingyu had said four words from her mouth shape, but he was not sure. After thinking for a moment, he tentatively asked, "Is this word two words?"
Zhang Yang and Jiang Nanyu were obviously surprised that she would ask this first. They looked at each other, and Jiang Nanyu shook her head and said, "No."
In other words, maybe what Zhou Jingyu told herself was the correct answer.
After confirming this, Yin Mu hesitated. If he told the correct answer, he didn't want to win by cheating. But if he didn't tell it, his mind was full of that word, and he would definitely ask in that direction involuntarily, which would make him seem hypocritical. Zhou Jingyu might even laugh at him in her heart.
Seeing that she hadn't asked the next question, Jiang Nanyu asked curiously, "Yin Mu, why don't you ask anymore?"
Yin Mu had no choice but to force himself to continue asking: "So that's four words?"
"Yes."
"..." Yin Mu couldn't ask any more questions, so he closed his eyes and said, "I admit defeat, okay?"
Jiang Nanyu asked curiously, "Why? This is not your style."
"I..." Yin Mu was speechless and subconsciously looked at Zhou Jingyu.
Zhou Jingyu still had a faint smile on her face as she whispered softly, "This question isn't difficult, Yin Mu, think carefully and you'll definitely be able to guess it."
Yin Mu frowned, a not-so-friendly thought suddenly coming to his mind. Could Zhou Jingyu have done this on purpose, just to see him in such a dilemma?
She thought about Zhou Jingyu's past behavior, and the more she thought about it, the more she doubted her guess, which was bad but reliable.
Zhang Yang, eager to watch the fun, kindly reminded Yin Mu, "It's almost three minutes. It looks like you have no chance of winning, but at least don't end up in a draw with Jiang Nanyu."
"I want you to be more talkative."
Yin Mu retorted, but suddenly got inspiration from Zhang Yang's words. He thought, that's right, let Zhou Jingyu win, let her fight with Jiang Nanyu, and don't get involved.
"Okay, I'll continue asking." Yin Mu coughed lightly, deciding to make a quick decision and asked, "Is this word an idiom?"
"Yes."
"From an allusion?"
"Yes."
Yin Mu already had the answer in his mind, and asked a few more questions according to his own thoughts. When he estimated that the time was almost up, he gave the answer: "I think I have it all planned out."
Jiang Nanyu was shocked: "You can guess this right?"
Yin Mu smiled slightly: "Shame on you, shame on you."
Zhang Yang still didn't believe it and questioned, "That's impossible! How could it be so easy to guess? Did you see it?"
After all, Yin Mu didn't cultivate such a thick skin that he could open his eyes and say that it was all guessed by himself. He sighed and admitted frankly: "Okay, I saw it. It was all acting just now."
Zhang Yang's face was filled with question marks: "Huh? When?"
【Hahahaha, it's all acting.】
[Yin Mu, please don't make me laugh to death. Are you really that honest? ]
[First get the result and then deduce it.]
[I said Zhou Jingyu was hinting at Yin Mu! ]
[Yin Mu's acting is quite good. I suggest he enter the entertainment industry. (Serious face)]
…
Zhang Yang and Jiang Nanyu looked at each other, wondering when Yin Mu saw the answer.
Jiang Nanyu couldn't help but ask a stupid question: "Do you have X-ray vision?"
Yin Mu naturally wouldn't expose Zhou Jingyu, so he avoided the question and said, "I think you can be a little bolder in your imagination."
“…”
Yin Mu didn't want to discuss this issue any further, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, this question doesn't count. I'm a little embarrassed to have beaten you two."
At this time, Zhou Jingyu interrupted with a smile: "Okay, Yin Mu, don't be so modest. They really will take it seriously. - Zhang Yang, Nan Yu, you have to accept the loss and don't cheat."
Yin Mu had indeed performed very well in the game a few days ago. Zhang Yang and Jiang Nanyu had both seen it, and after hearing Zhou Jingyu's words, they couldn't help but believe it a little, thinking that Yin Mu was just joking with them again. Zhang Yang said with relief, "I knew it. How could you see clearly from eight feet away? Yin Mu, you don't even think before you bluff."
"Who is bluffing..."
Zhang Yang waved his hand. "It's okay. Zhou Jingyu won, and Jiang Nanyu lost. It has nothing to do with us. I'm definitely going to win the next round."
Yin Mu was speechless and gave up: "Okay, next round."
Jiang Nanyu, perhaps frustrated by the last round, suddenly had an idea: "Guessing alone is too slow. Let's split into groups of two. One group writes, and the other guesses."
Zhang Yang immediately said, "Then I want to be in a group with Zhou Jingyu. If I'm in a group with you, you'll be a burden to me."
"Eh? No, Zhang Yang, what do you mean by that?" Jiang Nanyu was amused by his words. "If you guessed it correctly, it was by accident. It wasn't your own guess. How dare you look down on me?"
Zhang Yang said confidently, "Don't worry about that. Just tell me whether my guess was right or not."
"You guessed it right at best."
Yin Mu rolled his eyes speechlessly as he watched the two of them arguing over who should be in the same group with Zhou Jingyu.
[I'm dying of laughter. Where did this elementary school brawl come from?]
[Zhang Yang, what are you so proud of? Don't you have any idea of your own strength?]
[Stop arguing! Why don't you just have a fight?]
【Yin Mu’s disgust is about to overflow hhhh. 】
[Hahahaha, it feels like Yin Mu's eyes are cursing.]
…
Yin Mu finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted their argument: "Can't you two just shut up and play rock-paper-scissors to divide the groups? Why make it so complicated?"
Jiang Nanyu said: "This is not a complicated matter, it's that he looks down on me."
"...I don't want to bother with you guys."
Zhou Jingyu smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Okay, let's play rock-paper-scissors. It's fair to everyone."
The four people gathered together and raised their right hands: "Rock, Scissors, Paper!"
Yin Mu looked closely and saw that, by coincidence, he and Zhou Jingyu had played stone, while Zhang Yang and Jiang Nanyu had played cloth. The two people who had just been at loggerheads were now paired together, both extremely unhappy, and began to bully each other again.
Just as they were arguing, Chen Qinglin and Zhong Mengyuan walked into the living room one after the other. Zhong Mengyuan apologized as she walked in, saying, "I've said sorry so many times, why are you still angry? I didn't mean it."
Chen Qinglin said helplessly: "I also said that I'm not angry, I just feel that I'm unlucky today and I'm a little depressed."
"Then please smile. I feel guilty when you have such a gloomy face, okay?"
Chen Qinglin was in no mood to laugh. He shook his head and turned to leave, only to be met by four curious faces. His nose was red and stuffed with two pieces of gauze. Yin Mu and the others were startled and hurried forward to ask about him with concern.
Chen Qinglin's expression was as calm as if he was not the one injured: "Oh, it's nothing, just a nosebleed."
Zhou Jingyu asked worriedly, "What's going on? Why is your nose bleeding for no reason?"
Zhong Mengyuan looked embarrassed, touched his nose, and explained to them: "After we finished bowling, we went to play two games of billiards. My hand slipped and I accidentally hit the ball out. He happened to be standing opposite, and then..."
[Huh? Are you so unlucky?]
【How come this red nose is both pitiful and funny?】
[Zhong Mengyuan, you're so careless! Look how you hit us!]
【Ahhh, it hurts just thinking about it.】
This story tells us not to play billiards with Zhong Mengyuan.
…
After Chen Qinglin encountered this situation, everyone stopped playing games and sat down to ask about the specific situation in detail.
As the person who caused the incident, Zhong Mengyuan honestly recounted what happened and finally reiterated: "I really didn't mean it. Chen Qinglin, I'm sorry. If you have any requests, please let me know and I will definitely do it."
Chen Qinglin had already taken out the gauze from his nostrils and was applying an ice pack to his nose. Upon hearing this, he said, "I don't need you to do anything. Just be careful next time."
"That's right, you should stop being so reckless." Yin Mu also agreed, "Luckily it was Chen Qinglin who was hit this time, so he didn't bother with you. If it was a stranger, your apology would be useless."
"Okay, okay, I get it." Zhong Mengyuan replied dejectedly, then raised three fingers with a solemn oath, "I swear I'll never play billiards again."
Yin Mu poked her forehead helplessly: "You."
Zhong Mengyuan frowned, grabbed her fingers and took them away, then asked, "Were you playing games just now?"
"Oh, we're guessing the word and we're about to divide into groups for the second round."
"Oh?" Zhong Mengyuan was surprised that Yu Yinmu actually joined the three of them and raised an eyebrow. "Is it fun?"
Yin Mu twitched his lips and answered somewhat unwillingly: "It's quite fun, do you want to play?"
Zhong Mengyuan refused without hesitation: "Forget it, I'm not interested. I just want to go upstairs, take a shower, and rest for a while."
"Okay, go ahead."
Zhong Mengyuan supported Yin Mu to stand up, and did not forget to remind Chen Qinglin: "If you still feel uncomfortable after applying the ice, tell me, I will be responsible for you."
When she said this, everyone laughed, except Chen Qinglin.
Seeing Chen Qinglin's face getting even uglier, Yin Mu pushed Zhong Mengyuan with a helpless smile: "Alright, ancestor, just say less."
[Hmm? How to be responsible? ]
[Why are you saying such lewd and ferocious words so seriously?]
[Why not just give Yin Mu as compensation? (Seriously)]
【Yin Mu: ？ ？】
[Chen Qinglin: I really want to escape, but I can't.]
…
Yin Mu watched Zhong Mengyuan go upstairs and asked Chen Qinglin, "Are you feeling better? Do you want a new ice pack?"
Seeing that Zhong Mengyuan had left, Chen Qinglin took away the ice pack that Zhong Mengyuan had forced him to apply, straightened up, and said nonchalantly, "It's all over now. There's no need to make a fuss."
Yin Mu quickly stopped him, took the ice pack and pressed it on his nose again: "You should apply it for a while longer, your nose is still swollen."
She carefully examined Chen Qinglin's nose. Chen Qinglin tilted his head back and obediently let her fiddle with it. After a while, he whispered, "Yin Mu."
Yin Mu lowered his eyelids upon hearing the voice, and met Chen Qinglin's gaze. Seeing that he seemed to be hesitant to speak, he tilted his head and said, "Hmm?"
Chen Qinglin hesitated for a long time, but finally said nothing: "No, nothing, thank you."
Yin Mu blinked: "It's Meng Yuan's fault for what happened today. I should have apologized to you on her behalf."
Chen Qinglin looked at her steadily for a few seconds: "Well, just consider it a favor for you."
