"Xi'er, you actually have someone you like? Who is it?"
Lin Youyou looked at Qin Xier with curiosity, wanting to get to the bottom of things.
"That's the second question."
It means she won't answer.
Nanzhi smoothed things over, "Alright, alright, next one, Xi'er, it's your turn."
Next up was Lian Jin, whom Qin Xi'er was more concerned about in terms of her cousin's love life.
On one side is her brother, and on the other is her best friend. She knows that their engagement is a temporary measure, but she still needs to determine the true nature of their relationship.
"Cousin, do you like Youyou?"
Lin Youyou had just been laughing at others, but now her face stiffened, and a faint sense of anticipation rose in her heart.
Lian Jin looked at Lin Youyou for a long time before finally speaking:
"It's not liking." To be more precise, it's love.
Upon hearing this, Lin Youyou's heart skipped a beat. She chuckled and said, "Xi'er, why are you asking these questions? My engagement with Lian's father was just a temporary thing."
Nanzhi: "..."
Later, the conversation turned to her several times, and those honest words came easily to Nanzhi, who was already married.
Until the time came, she was in front of Lin Youyou. She chose dare, but instead of carrying it out, she simply drank several glasses of alcohol.
"Youyou, drink less."
Lian Jin couldn't help but frown and try to dissuade her, but Lin Youyou glanced at him with her hazy eyes and grinned foolishly:
"How much I drink is none of your business."
Lian Jin: "..."
Lin Youyou's alcohol tolerance was clearly low; after only a few drinks, she was already somewhat drunk, her face flushed and her eyes filled with tears.
Looking at her like this, Lian Jin addressed the others:
"I'm taking her home first."
Lin Youyou thrashed about playfully, saying, "I'm not drunk, put me down."
However, Lian Jin very domineeringly held her in his arms and left under everyone's gaze.
When Hu Lai finished washing the dishes and came out, he noticed that two people were missing, and there were also empty wine bottles on the table.
He knew about the game, and anger flashed across his face. "You guys played the game without inviting me? That's outrageous!"
Nanzhi smiled and said, "Now it's your turn to play."
Hu Lai hummed as he walked to Lian Jin's former spot and said:
"That's more like it."
Nan Zhi ignored him, but Xu Chaoci stood up and said to Nan Zhi:
"I still have some work to finish, so I'll head back now."
"Cousin, could you please take Xi'er home for me? Even Jin has left."
Qin Xi'er lowered her head, not daring to look at Xu Chaoci. How could Xu Chaoci disagree with Nan Zhi's request? So he nodded.
Nan Zhi patted Qin Xi'er on the shoulder, "Just let my cousin take you home."
Qin Xi'er stood up and looked at Nan Zhi gratefully. Today, she had really done her best to create opportunities for herself.
After Xu Chaoci and Qin Xier also left.
Hu Lai suddenly realized, "Weren't we playing a game? Why did everyone leave? Are there only the three of us?"
Nanzhi looked at him, her eyes forming crescent moons, "No, just you. You can play as long as you want."
After saying that, he walked around the coffee table, pulled Shen Xingmian away from the living room.
Hu Lai, who had just sat down and whose sofa hadn't even warmed up yet, thought: "..."
It's so hard for him.
Nanzhi turned her head and saw Hu Lai's utterly dejected expression, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Hu Lai glared angrily in her direction. "Goodbye, never again."
After saying that, he stood up and strode towards the door, slamming it shut with a loud bang. Hu Lai left.
"Ha ha ha ha......."
Shen Xingmian looked at her helplessly. He had also drunk three cups of wine, his breath carrying the aroma of alcohol. He leaned close to Nan Zhi, standing only ten centimeters away from her. "Zhizhi, what kind of trick were you up to just now?"
The first thing Nan Zhi smelled was the aroma of red wine exhaled from Shen Xingmian's mouth. She subconsciously nudged him, then pouted:
"I don't have any wicked ideas, you're just overthinking it."
Shen Xingmian raised an eyebrow. "Is that so? Then let's settle the score."
Nan Zhi: "...What account?"
Shen Xingmian grabbed her small hand, leaned down, and whispered in her ear, "Didn't you want to see me do a striptease? Let's go, I'll satisfy you."
After saying that, he didn't care what Nanzhi thought and pulled her into the bedroom.
Nan Zhi: "..." Is it too late for her to regret it now?
"Miss, there's a saying that goes, 'You reap what you sow.' I don't know if you've ever heard it."
The gloating voice of the Meow Meow Machine echoed in my mind.
Nanzhi: "......"
......
"Um, Mr. Xu, thank you for offering to give me a ride."
Qin Xi'er sat in the car, remaining silent for a long time before finally mustering the courage to speak in the otherwise quiet carriage.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chaoci looked straight ahead and replied in a calm tone:
"You are Zhizhi's friend, no need to thank me."
After that, they stopped talking, and the atmosphere fell silent again.
An awkward atmosphere lingered in the air. Qin Xi'er encouraged herself, thinking that this was an opportunity that Zhizhi had created for her with great difficulty, and she had to seize it. So, regardless of how Xu Chaoci would respond, she started chatting with him directly.
"Zhizhi must be very happy to have a brother like you."
This time, Xu Chaoci actually turned to look at Qin Xier, then turned back, his tone tinged with amusement, "Having a sister like her is my blessing."
