night.
End of Hai hour.
As night deepened, the heat subsided slightly compared to the daytime.
A cool breeze carried the fragrance of flowers, wine, and roasted meat, filling the courtyard.
In the courtyard, Chu Qinghe and five others sat around the stone table, each holding a gold leaf with a special pattern carved in it, while Xiao Zhao stood empty-handed to the side.
However, unlike before, not only Lin Shiyin, but even Qu Feiyan tried her best to calm her expression and achieve a state of not showing her emotions.
A few breaths later, Xiao Zhao cleared her throat and said crisply, "It's dark, please close your eyes."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Chu Qinghe and the others closed their eyes.
"Werewolf, please open your eyes."
"Please select the person you wish to kill tonight."
"Werewolf, please close your eyes."
"Doctor, please open your eyes."
...
Half an hour later, as the first person was eliminated, Chu Qinghe glanced at the others with a look of disdain, left a message saying "You will regret this," and was successfully sent away at the very beginning of the game.
Seeing Chu Qinghe's depressed expression, Qu Feiyan and the other girls remained calm.
None of them felt regretful that Chu Qinghe was the first to be eliminated.
After all, apart from Lianxing who had just arrived today, everyone else present knew how deep Chu Qinghe's thoughts ran when he was using his brain.
Even Yaoyue and Shuimu Yinji had to admit that when playing this kind of game that required brains, the combined strength of all of them was not enough to defeat Chu Qinghe alone.
If Chu Qinghe doesn't get eliminated, everyone will be unknowingly drawn into his trap, just like at the beginning.
Naturally, after Chu Qinghe won several rounds in a row, Chu Qinghe was always the first to be eliminated in each round.
This fully demonstrates the principle that "the tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind."
Seeing the girls start to deduce things with great interest, Chu Qinghe, who had no interest in the game, curled his lip and walked to the hammock next to him.
After using his true energy to pull a skewer of grilled meat into his hand, and then drawing the wine pot into his hand in the same way, Chu Qinghe took a bite of the skewer, a sip of the chilled wine, and looked at the women gathered around the stone table. His heart was as calm as a flowing stream.
"Ah, that feels good!"
After casually tossing the bamboo skewer aside, Chu Qinghe lay down on his side, gazing at the starry sky and listening to the sounds of the girls playing games nearby. A genuine smile crept onto his lips.
Over here, after glancing at Chu Qinghe who was in the hammock, Yaoyue thought for a moment and then slowly said, "You guys have fun!"
As she spoke, Yaoyue slowly stood up.
When she reached Chu Qinghe's side, Chu Qinghe, who was still in the hammock, suddenly felt a momentary sense of being suspended in mid-air.
However, Yaoyue directly carried her from the hammock to the rooftop.
At the same time, the jellyfish-like Yin Ji in the courtyard glanced at the roof, her eyes flashing with a fleeting thought.
The next second, Jellyfish Yin Ji gestured to Qu Feiyan.
Upon receiving a signal from Jellyfish Yin Ji, Qu Feiyan got up and carried a jar of wine from the wine room to the table.
"Come on, let's drink until we drop tonight, bottoms of this jar!"
Xiao Zhao, who was standing nearby, also got up and put some skewers on a plate and brought them over.
Lin Shiyin then took out several large bowls from the kitchen.
Looking at the girls who were all smiling at her, and then at the wine jars on the table that were almost half a head taller than her, Lianxing hesitated.
As if knowing Lianxing's thoughts, Jellyfish Yinji chuckled and said, "Don't worry! Big Sister would never lose her temper in front of Qinghe!"
As she spoke, Jellyfish Yin Ji flicked her fingers, drawing wine from the wine jar and pouring it into bowls.
He then handed the bowl, which was about eight-tenths full, to Lianxing.
Furthermore, he circulated his true energy, causing a layer of frost to condense on the bowl.
Seeing this, Lianxing glanced at the wine, then at the skewers on the table, gritted her teeth, and took the bowl.
At this point, Jellyfish Yin Ji smiled and then picked up a bowl of wine as well.
After clinking their bowls together, the group started chugging their food.
After the group finished their bowls of wine, they began to eat skewers and chat.
However, unlike the bowls used for drinking in front of Qu Feiyan and Lianxing, the bowl used for drinking in front of Shuimu Yinji had a dense ring of tiny water droplets on its surface.
If Qu Feiyan and Lianxing were to pour out the wine from Shuimu Yinji's bowl at this moment, they would see that, apart from the two qian of wine on top, the entire bowl of Shuimu Yinji was filled with frozen ice.
On the rooftop.
As he sat up, Chu Qinghe casually handed the wine pot in his hand to Yaoyue beside him.
After taking a sip of the wine Chu Qinghe offered, Yaoyue glanced at him and said, "Don't you want to ask me about Lianxing's left foot problem?"
In response to Yaoyue's words, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "If you want to say it, you will. If you don't want to say it, why should I ask?"
Upon hearing the voice, Yaoyue smiled gently.
No matter the occasion, Chu Qinghe always gave Yaoyue a feeling of comfort, like a gentle spring breeze.
After taking another swig of wine, Yaoyue slowly said, "When I was nine years old, Lianxing and I climbed a tree together, and I personally pushed her off the tree, which was about ten feet high. The reason was simply because she liked to compete with me for things back then."
"Um!"
Hearing what Yaoyue said, Chu Qinghe responded softly, his expression still lazy.
