Chapter 24024 I Like Puppies
The evening sunset glowed brightly, falling on his delicate profile, but could not illuminate his silent eyes.
Yu Zeyuan's tone was flat, as if he was just talking about the daily weather.
Guo Yingying's voice rang out again, "Okay, next is the quick-answer question session."
Xue Yi raised his hand immediately, but someone else got there first.
Guo Yingying glanced past her and looked at Si Jingyan who was not far away. "Please tell me your question."
Si Jingyan smiled gently, but his question hit home. "Why were you isolated as a child? What was the specific reason?"
Yu Zeyuan gazed at him calmly, his tone flat, as if he were recounting someone else's story. "Nothing special. It's just that when I was born, my dad had just turned fifty. That age difference is beyond a child's comprehension, and in their eyes, I became something else."
As soon as the words were spoken, many people thought the explanation was too absurd and laughed out loud.
Only Xue Yi stared at him silently, as if trying to see through his calm exterior and touch the hidden grievance deep in his heart.
She was almost certain it was true.
"Okay, second question."
This time, Xue Yi quickly raised her hand, finally grabbing the right to ask questions. She chose not to touch the wound again, but instead asked: "What did you feel when you skydive from 5,000 meters?"
Yu Zeyuan's expression remained unchanged. "It's like all the burdens have been lifted off my shoulders. All that's left is relief and relaxation."
There were whispers all around, and everyone was guessing which of the three options was false?
"Okay, questions are over! If you think 'studying abroad' is real, please raise your hand."
Everyone raised their hands without hesitation, except Xue Yi, who sat quietly with his hands at his sides.
"Next, please raise your hand if you think it's true that you were isolated by your classmates as a child."
A few people raised their hands hesitantly.
"Finally, raise your hand if you think '5,000-meter skydiving' is real."
About half the people raised their hands.
Guo Yingying raised her voice, "OK! Please let Xiaoze announce the answer!"
Yu Zeyuan looked around and finally landed on Xue Yi. His eyes were filled with complex emotions, including confusion, inquiry, and... the shock of being seen through. It was as if he was silently asking: Why you?
He retracted his gaze and opened his thin lips slightly: "The first 'study abroad' is fake."
"What?!"
Obviously the first one is the choice that best suits his image, but I didn’t expect it to be fake!
The whole audience sighed, and everyone looked at Yu Zeyuan with a bit more curiosity.
"Xue Yi scored a point again in this round!"
Guo Yingying's tone was full of pride and excitement, "It's your turn next, Yiyi~"
Xue Yi had already thought of three things to say. Her face was calm and her voice steady. "I'm afraid of the dark. I don't like cilantro." She paused for a second and drifted to the right seemingly unintentionally. "I like... puppies."
"Okay! Next is the question and answer session. Please answer!"
Unexpectedly, the first person to successfully answer was Chen Ran. He pushed his glasses and asked seriously, "Excuse me, why is it a dog?"
Xue Yi thought for a moment, a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, and said meaningfully: "Because it is cute and loyal. Although it may get angry and have a little temper sometimes, it will always be loyal to its recognized owner."
At the same time, Yu Zeyuan looked over, and their eyes met. Xue Yi's dark eyes didn't blink, staring at him intently, as if she wasn't talking about the dog, but...
he!
Yu Zeyuan seemed to be burned by her gaze, his heart skipped a beat, and he turned his face away abruptly. A thin blush visibly appeared on his fair earlobe.
This brief scene happened to fall into the eyes of Si Jingyan on the opposite side. The smile on his face froze and the tenderness in his eyes disappeared completely.
"Okay, second question."
This time, it was Yu Zeyuan who raised his arm.
He coughed lightly, his expression returning to its usual sternness. He looked straight at me and asked, "Why are you afraid of the dark?"
Xue Yi curled the corners of her mouth in interest. Not only did she not dodge, but she stared at him with burning eyes: "Because... when I was a child, I watched a particularly scary horror movie, and ever since then I've been afraid of the dark."
"Okay, after answering these two questions, please raise your hand if you think being afraid of the dark is real!"
Everyone raised their hands. This reason was so true.
But there are exceptions. Si Jingyan frowned slightly but did not move.
"Okay, raise your hand if you think 'I don't like cilantro' is true."
This time, Yu Zeyuan and Chen Ran did not raise their hands.
"Finally, raise your hand if you think 'liking puppies' is true."
Most people raised their hands.
"OK, Yiyi, please announce the answer~"
The sly smile on Xue Yi's lips deepened, and his eyes flashed slightly. The reason why he stared at Yu Zeyuan like that just now was to disturb his vision and distract him.
"Being afraid of the dark is fake."
really!
The moment Yu Zeyuan heard the answer, a look of surprise and astonishment flashed across his eyes, and then turned into understanding.
I was still bewitched by her.
"This round, Si Jingyan gets one point. Next up is Chen Ran..."
The game enters a white-hot stage.
Xue Yi, Yu Zeyuan and Si Jingyan seemed to be participating in a fierce competition, chasing each other and refusing to give in. In the end, the three of them were only one point apart.
Finally, it was Si Jingyan's turn.
He crossed his arms, locked eyes with Xue Yi as if she were his prey, and smiled with determination: "I've won a prize in a photography competition, I have a professional PADI diving certificate, and I'm currently very interested in someone."
"Wow!"
There was an uproar and noise at the scene.
Guo Yingying quickly suppressed the noise and raised her voice: "Quiet, quiet! Now let's start the question-and-answer session!"
Wang Tao raised his hand impatiently, his gossip spirit burning. "Brother Si! Is the person you're interested in here?"
Si Jingyan didn't hesitate at all. With a smile on his face, he answered frankly, "Yes."
“Who is it?!”
"Tell me now!"
Si Jingyan just deepened his smile, "Now is not the time."
Xue Yi lowered her head and pretended to look at her phone to avoid the burning gaze.
She doesn't like being treated as a prey or being publicly pressured. Although she will take the initiative when facing someone she is interested in, she cares more about the other person's feelings rather than acting on her own.
Chen Ran, who was standing aside, looked dim and lowered his head silently after seeing Si Jingyan's gaze fall on Xue Yi.
Guo Yingying quickly pushed the process forward: "It's time for the second question!"
Yu Zeyuan raised his hand and asked a professional question: "What are the specific requirements for theoretical knowledge and underwater practice to obtain a PADI diving certification?"
Si Jingyan raised his lip confidently and answered clearly, "First of all, you must be at least 10 years old and in good health. The theoretical part requires you to learn and master diving physics, physiology, equipment, environment, planning, and other knowledge and pass the written test. The practical part needs to be completed in open water..."
Yu Zeyuan listened quietly, without any emotion changing on his face, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"Okay! End of questions! Now, please raise your hands if you think 'winning a photography competition' is real."
"Raise your hand if you think 'having a PADI diving certification' is real."
………
"OK! Si Jingyan, please announce your answer!"
This is the most critical round!
If no one guesses correctly, Si Jingyan will be the final winner. If one of Xue Yi or Yu Zeyuan guesses correctly, the winner will be one of them!
Si Jingyan's eyes swept across Xue Yi and then fell on Yu Zeyuan's face. His expression darkened and he spoke slowly -
“‘Have a professional PADI diving certification’ is fake.”
Guo Yingying said excitedly: "Yu Zeyuan scored one point in this round. Congratulations to Yu Zeyuan for winning. You can choose anyone here to complete your request."
Everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Yu Zeyuan raised his chin, first glanced at Xue Yi beside him, hesitated for a moment, then moved away, and finally fell on Si Jingyan, whose face was ashen.
He raised his chin, and his voice was not loud, but it fell clearly into everyone's ears: "Please help me get the motorcycle parked at the entrance of the camp later..."
He emphasized the situation, saying word by word, "Clean it thoroughly inside and out."
