Chapter 185 No Couples on the Playground
Night fell as scheduled, and everyone gathered together, the air thick with an atmosphere of decadence and debauchery.
A group of people sat on the long table, chatting and laughing, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance.
He Shixu gazed indifferently at the figure not far away.
Although she still looks like a young girl, her every move exudes ease and composure, no matter where she is.
She wore a long, green, floor-length dress, her skin was as white as jade, and even the spring breeze seemed to be intoxicated by her. Behind her was a window, and looking out, the cool moonlight poured down, and the entire sea surface shimmered.
She held a wine glass in one hand, tilting her head slightly as she chatted intimately with her friend.
Zhou Yanchuan stayed by her side, his hand never leaving her waist.
"Still looking?" Xie Tinghe approached. "The person is getting married tomorrow."
He smiled, unconcerned.
Xie Tinghe picked up a glass of wine and sighed, "I thought you were just playing around back then."
Who knew they would do so many things later?
He Shixu didn't answer, but simply smiled faintly.
The image of her saying to him in the vast snowfield that year flashed through my mind: "Senior, it's cold, you should go back. I'm going upstairs too."
That period was the time when their relationship was most peaceful and harmonious.
She still rejected his advances, but started treating him the way she would treat her friends.
Their relationship completely broke down after she graduated.
People who seem indifferent to the situation may secretly buy tickets and travel abroad behind everyone's backs.
He happened to be abroad that day to handle work matters. When he came out of the meeting and returned to his hotel that evening, he saw a familiar figure.
At first, he thought he was seeing things.
It turned out to be her.
In the freezing cold, wearing only a thin coat, he stood motionless in the wind, staring at the person inside the glass window not far away.
He felt a sudden surge of anger, strode over, took off his coat, and draped it over her shoulders.
She was delighted when she first saw him, but then immediately began to reject his kindness.
He Shixu couldn't control his temper that time.
"You like him that much? After all these years, you still resist everyone getting close to you because of him? If you do this, do you think he will do the same?"
That period was when Zhou Yanchuan had the most scandalous news.
He regretted saying those words as soon as he did, especially when he saw the girl's reddened eyes.
For a fleeting moment, he wanted to apologize, but at that time he was completely unaware of how much he cared about the person in front of him.
Subconsciously, I felt that my feelings for her were just a result of my desire to conquer her.
She's just a woman; if she really doesn't know what's good for her, then let it go.
He hesitated only slightly before she turned and left.
They didn't contact each other for a long time after that.
After that, his family ran into trouble, and he started busy mediating between them.
During the busiest period, He Shixu didn't sleep for several days in a row. When he finally fell asleep, he would dream of that clean and beautiful little face looking at him with a wronged expression.
He thought he would apologize to her after he finished his work.
Little did they know that they would get engaged later.
After that, he never went to see her again.

After a few rounds of drinks, someone suggested playing a game for the newcomers.
The game rules are as follows: each new player takes one piece, and the first player to reach the finish line wins.
A group of people, dressed in suits, sat at a long table, waiting for the waiters to disassemble the Ludo game.
The boy was sweating profusely as he disassembled the package; when did he become the target of such a group of people's attention?
After everything was ready, Wen Jiu was the first to roll the dice. She shook the dice in her palm a few times, then threw them onto the table. They rolled around a few times and landed on a six.
White moves forward six squares.
At that moment, a sentence appeared on the screen right in the middle of them.
"Kiss someone for ten seconds"
Here's another tip: If the other party doesn't agree, go back to where you were.
Wen Jiu slowly raised her head and looked at Zhou Yanchuan.
Zhou Yanchuan was replying to company messages when he met the girl's gaze and put his phone on the table.
Chen Yu, standing to the side, said, "We're playing a game, you can't agree to that."
“Mmm,” he responded, then said to Wen Jiu, “Come here and kiss me.”
"..."
Zhou Yanchuan rolled the dice and got a three.
The screen lights up.
"Answer me honestly."
Hint: If you cannot complete the task or lie, you will be returned to the starting point.
“I’ll ask the question,” Li Yue said, indicating that she was good at this.
He looked up at her.
Li Yue smiled and asked, "Where did you and Xiao Jiu first kiss?"
"In the alley."
"Who initiated it?"
"That's the second question."
"..."
I forgot I can only ask one question.
Seeing the person's frustrated look, Wen Jiu smiled and gently comforted him, "It's okay, there's still a chance."
On the next girl's side, Wen Jiu rolled a four.
"Three quick questions and answers"
Reminder: If you cannot answer or take more than three seconds, return to the starting point.
This is the challenge that Li Yue took.
Jin Yiyan was on the phone by the window when his gaze fell on the girl in the middle.
Black spaghetti strap maxi dress with a completely open back.
Xie Tinghe was in charge of asking the question: "How many relationships have you had?"
"Three sections"
Which part was the most unforgettable?
"The third paragraph."
"Why?"
Li Yue remained silent.
The crowd started chanting, "Drink! Drink! Drink!"
She bent down to pick up the wine glass.
Before her fingertips could even touch the cup, a hand reached out from her side.
A hand she knew all too well.
Li Yue's eyelashes fluttered slightly.
All eyes were focused on the man who had suddenly appeared.
Jin Yiyan didn't say anything, and before he even hung up the phone, he picked up his wine glass with one hand and tilted his head back.
Li Yue stared at him for a few seconds, then bent down again, picked up a new cup, and drank it all in one gulp.
Then, without looking back, he turned around and went back to his seat.
Jin Yiyan looked at the person who had sat back down in the chair, her lips moved, but she hesitated to speak.
She drank that glass of wine quickly, and when she sat down in the chair, she felt slightly dizzy.
Wen Jiu poured her a glass of warm water: "Are you alright?"
"fine."
There was a moment of silence.
Jin Yiyan didn't stay long. It seemed he only came for that drink. After Li Yue left, he left as well.
It was Zhou Yanchuan's turn to roll the dice, and he got a four.
The screen lights up.
"A French kiss, twenty seconds."
Chen Si Nian nudged Qi You, who then looked at the girl opposite him.
Xia Shi looked left and right, but wouldn't look at him. He smiled and looked at Zhou Yanchuan: "Let's go back to where we started."
Zhou Yanchuan: "My wife is willing."
He looked at Wen Jiu.
Wen Jiu turned her head.
He chuckled and stepped back to his original spot.
Chen Yu, standing to the side, said, "I've always said there are no couples in games."
Chen Si Nian: "So you don't have a wife."
"..."
"You're saying the same thing as you."
"..."
From the age of seventeen to twenty-seven, the two of them still bickered at the slightest disagreement.
Wen Jiu smiled and rolled the dice again, getting a five. However, this time the screen didn't light up immediately. After about five seconds, a message popped up: "Congratulations, you have triggered a hidden square."
Xie Tinghe raised an eyebrow slightly: "There are hidden features in Flying Chess?"
Please choose whether to accept the hidden quest.
Wen Jiu raised her hand and nodded.
The page switched again: "Please select a person of the opposite sex to enter a room with."
Tip: For new players, it's best to complete the hidden quests together.
Xie Tinghe was silent for a moment, then asked, "Is this a serious game?"
Wen Jiu looked at Zhou Yanchuan again.
Chen Yu: "Remember, there are no—"
Zhou Yanchuan stood up from his chair.
"..."
