Chapter 14: A Game Like an Execution Ground
As Yu Ze shuffled the cards and laid them flat on the table, the game officially began.
Everyone drew a card from the deck, and when they saw the problem on the cards in their hands, their faces were not particularly good.
"Who will answer first?" Yu Ze asked.
"Let's go in order of seating level. I'll go first." The Scorpio woman placed the cards on the table and read, "My question is: Is the person you love most present?"
Hearing this, everyone suddenly perked up and showed expressions as if they were enjoying themselves.
The Scorpio woman did not hesitate at all and answered: "No"
The spirit that had just been raised was instantly extinguished by a basin of cold water, but the fire of gossip would not be extinguished.
Yubao rubbed his hands, leaned forward slightly, and asked curiously: "Boss, who is the person you love? I have never heard you say it before."
The mechanical fingers tapped the table lightly, and suddenly the sound stopped. The Scorpion Girl slowly raised her head and laughed sinisterly: "This is the second question."
Yubao shut his mouth wisely.
"My question is: How long have you liked her?" Yu Ze quietly raised his eyes to look at the Scorpio girl and threw the cards on the table. "What a stupid question!"
"So how long has it been?" Yubao asked.
Yu Ze scratched his head awkwardly: "How can someone like me who is always so fond of women have any real feelings? It's only been... a little over eight years, I guess."
"Oh~" Yubao nodded with satisfaction after hearing the answer.
"My question is similar to Yu Ze's, 'Do you still love that person?'" Li Beichuan said, lowering his eyes, "I love you, I always have."
"Why are all your questions about love? Are there any serious questions in this deck?" Ali complained loudly.
Yubao secretly glanced at Alie and whispered: "No one is forcing you to participate. If you don't like it, you can quit."
"It's my turn," Yuliang picked up the cards, "My question is: Has your dream come true? My answer is no."
"Serves you right," Yubao cursed softly, then picked up his cards and said with a smile, "My question is: Is there anyone in this world who loves you?"
Speaking of this question, the smile on Yubao's face disappeared. He lowered his head and answered after a long time: "No."
Ali snorted disdainfully and said, "My question is: Is your life happy now? If not, answer completed."
After saying that, Ali gently pushed Xu Jingzhe.
Xu Jingzhe came back to his senses from the cards. He looked at them and said, "My question is: Are you satisfied with your current life? I am quite satisfied recently because I met Mengbao."
“.......”
"You might as well not answer. It makes me want to vomit," Ali said, clutching his chest and yelling, "Oh my God! When will I be able to find a way out of being single? I'm going crazy!"
Yubao smiled secretly and replied: "You can just wait to die alone in this life~"
"you!"
"Okay, let's start the next round." Yu Ze put the cards that had been answered aside.
Everyone drew another card, and this time the question left them speechless for a long time.
The Scorpio woman had never read the cards before, and although the answer to the question was right on the tip of her tongue, she found it difficult to speak.
"My question is: Are you still with the person who once promised to be with you for the rest of your life?" She repeated the question on the card for a long time without saying anything.
It wasn't until Yu Ze reached out and gently patted her shoulder that she came to her senses and replied, "No."
This time, Yubao didn't ask any gossipy questions. He looked at his cards and suddenly burst into tears, but everyone was immersed in their memories and no one noticed.
The person next to him suddenly took out a tissue and handed it to him. Yubao took the paper and whispered "thank you" in a low voice, then he remembered that the person sitting next to him was his brother Yuliang.
"My question is: How many times have you regretted your life? Please briefly describe why." Yu Ze pursed his lips and replied: "I never regret my life."
The Scorpio girl knew that he had regretted it. Although Yu Ze usually had a very bad temper, there were times when he secretly cried in the middle of the night and was discovered by the Scorpio girl.
After a while, Yu Ze spoke again: "I have regretted it so many times that I can't count them all. There are many specific reasons, I don't know how to describe them simply, but they are mostly due to separation... death... and other things like that..."
It was a long time after Yu Ze answered, but Li Beichuan did not ask his own question until the Scorpio woman reminded him.
He came back to his senses, the hand holding the cards turned slightly white, and the corners of his eyes were inexplicably stained red: "My...my question is: do you regret losing the person you love most because of saving others?"
Hearing this question, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Beichuan.
These cards seem to know everyone's past. This game is more like a execution ground where people dig open their hearts and expose their embarrassment and pain to everyone.
"I...I..." Li Beichuan didn't know how to answer. He lowered his head and held the cards even tighter.
No one urged him, but just waited quietly for his answer.
In fact, not everyone is selfless. It is extremely difficult to choose between your lover and everyone else.
If it were anyone else here, they might not be able to answer, but the Scorpio woman already had an unshakable answer in her heart.
She would save her lover and everyone else, even if the price was death. No matter how difficult it was, her answer remained the same.
"I regret it," Li Beichuan finally said. "I originally founded Poison Crocodile to give her a better life, to protect her and prevent her from getting hurt."
"But I am getting busier and busier, so busy that I have no time to accompany her. When she needs me the most, I am not there..."
Li Beichuan buried his head even lower, as if he had buried himself in the dust. In Li Beichuan's heart, although the past days were hard, he would have time to stay by Ayin's side.
Perhaps this is the price of becoming a leader. If he had the chance to do it again, he would definitely not lose the opportunity to accompany Ayin for all the illusions.
"It's my turn." Yuliang took a deep breath. "My question is: Do you regret killing the person you loved the most?"
Hearing this question, Yubao suddenly raised his head and glared at Yuliang: "You, a thing worse than pigs and dogs, are going to regret it? How hilarious!"
Yuliang didn't respond to Yubao's words, but answered directly: "I didn't. Even if I had to do it again and again, my answer would still be, yes! I would kill her with my own hands!"
Yubao sneered, suppressed the urge to attack, and picked up his cards: "My question is, do you still hate him? My answer is, I hate him! When the day comes that everyone is equal, I will definitely kill him! Avenge my sister!"
The Scorpio girl knew something about the two brothers.
They had lived a wandering life since they were young. It was an older sister who took them in and provided them with food, clothing and shelter. After spending a long time together, they all fell in love with the older sister.
But for some unknown reason, Yuliang killed her one day. Since then, the two brothers have parted ways, founded their own organizations, and have been fighting against each other until death.
