Chapter 68 A True Adventure She stopped thinking in time…
"I got the Joker, who got the low card?"
As the birthday girl, Shu Jia was having a very lucky day. She immediately looked around and said, "Hurry up and lay your cards on the table, don't try to cheat."
“It’s me,” Sun Lin said with a smile, “I choose truth.”
Shu Jia was somewhat surprised, not expecting to catch him in the first round.
“What a coincidence,” Xu Siyue said with a smile, “No wonder you’re a couple.”
Shu Jia blushed a little at what she said. Looking at her boyfriend's handsome face, she thought for a moment and said, "Are you sure you want to choose truth? Then no matter what I ask, you have to answer me properly."
“Hmm,” Sun Lin looked at her affectionately, “I have no secrets from you.”
"Wow!" The onlookers started to jeer, offering all sorts of bad ideas, like telling Shu Jia to ask Sun Lin how many girlfriends he had dated and whether he had a "white moonlight" (a term for someone who is unrequited love).
Shu Jia glared at her friends, "It's my birthday today, so don't make things difficult for him."
Zhang Jing winked at her, "If you miss this opportunity, who knows when you'll get another one?"
“Ask me anything,” Sun Lin said, his temper was very good. “But I don’t have a white moonlight that I can’t forget. My two previous girlfriends broke up peacefully because of the long distance.”
"Then let me ask you," Shu Jia thought for a moment and asked, "when did you start liking me?"
In front of everyone, she felt a little embarrassed, "When I was interning at the company, I always caused you trouble, didn't you ever blame me?"
Upon hearing this question, everyone turned to look at Sun Lin, seeing this as a golden opportunity to prove himself.
Sun Lin met her clear eyes and smiled, saying, "Although you made some minor mistakes when you first joined the company because you weren't familiar with the work processes, you quickly adjusted and did a great job."
"You have a sunny and cheerful personality, and you are always proactive in the face of any difficulties. You are like the company's ray of sunshine. It's hard for me not to like you."
This answer clearly made Shu Jia a little shy, and she blinked several times. "You're lucky to have met such a cute girl like me."
"Hmm." Sun Lin still smiled at her. "I'm lucky to have met you."
"You two better shut up," Zhang Jing couldn't stand it anymore. "Don't forget there are two single guys here. The stench of your romance is bothering them."
Everyone looked at Yu Kui and Xie Xingzhi, as they were the only ones who were still single.
Shu Jia subconsciously said, "Then my birthday wish today is that my Yu Kui can also find happiness soon."
Xu Siyue pinched her cheek, "Silly girl, your wishes won't come true if you say them out loud."
“I will take care of my own happiness,” Yu Kui said with a smile. “You should make a wish that is related to yourself.”
Shu Jia scoffed, "Then how long are you going to wait?"
Perhaps everyone else has a partner, and only Yu Kui is still all alone. Shu Jia really wants someone to care for her and support her.
"Let nature take its course." Yu Kui wasn't in a hurry. "You guys stop worrying about my love life and keep playing the game."
Not long after, Xu Siyue's boyfriend Qiao Yan drew the Joker, while Yu Kui unfortunately drew the number 2.
“I’ll also choose truth,” she said, laying her cards on the table. “What do you want to ask me?”
Qiao Yan subconsciously looked at Xu Siyue, who smiled and said, "Ask away, she's very straightforward and there's nothing she wouldn't dare to answer."
Qiao Yan hesitated for a moment, then asked a relatively simple question: "What are your criteria for choosing a partner? Let me see if I know any brothers who meet your requirements. Maybe I can introduce you to someone."
Before he finished speaking, Xie Xingzhi's eyes narrowed.
Qiao Yan didn't notice the change in his expression and looked at Yu Kui with anticipation.
Upon hearing this, Xu Siyue slapped him on the shoulder, "Yu Kui has many suitors at school, do you really need to introduce her to anyone? Just take a break."
Qiao Yan touched the tip of his nose. "I was just worried about her, weren't I? None of the students at school are as good as the ones I recommended. I'm surrounded by rich kids..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xie Xingzhi took a bottle of drink from the table for Yu Kui, opened it, and handed it to her, saying, "It's hot, have some water first."
Qiao Yan's voice immediately fell silent. Looking at Xie Xingzhi's handsome appearance, he finally realized something, turned to look at his girlfriend, Xu Siyue, who rolled her eyes at him, "Do you still want to ask questions?"
"Yes," Qiao Yan said weakly, "it's still the same problem."
Yu Kui took the drink from Xie Xingzhi's hand, took two sips, and then said, "I don't have any specific criteria for choosing a partner. My only requirement is that he must be someone I like."
Qiao Yan subconsciously said, "Isn't that simple? What's so difficult about liking someone? I fell in love with Si Yue at first sight back then."
A faint bitterness welled up in Yu Kui's heart. In the past, she would not have found it difficult to like someone, but now, she finds it hard to be moved.
Having loved such a despicable person, can she really wholeheartedly love another person?
"That's because I'm charming, okay?" Xu Siyue pinched his mouth shut with her hand. "If you can't speak properly, then don't say it."
The game continued, and this time Zhang Jing got the Joker card. She looked around and was about to ask a question when Xie Xingzhi turned over his card. "It's me. Truth or Dare is fine."
"Let me think about it," Zhang Jing said, glancing between Xie Xingzhi and Yu Kui at their overly cold faces. "Let's just be honest."
Xie Xing nodded.
After pretending to think for a moment, Zhang Jing asked, "You're so handsome, yet you didn't date in college. Did you have someone you secretly admired?"
As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes fell on Xie Xingzhi's face, wanting to hear how he would respond.
Yu Kui had also thought about this question, but he never gave a clear answer every time she asked.
“You can’t refuse to answer, and you can’t lie,” Zhang Jing looked at him meaningfully. “When playing games, you have to follow the rules.”
Xie Xingzhi lowered his eyelashes slightly, his overly handsome face carrying a hint of coldness.
He seemed to be pondering how to answer that question.
“Then it is,” Zhang Jing said. “If it weren’t, you wouldn’t have thought about it for so long.”
Yu Kui's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her gaze fell on Xie Xingzhi again.
Xie Xingzhi raised his head, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said softly, "Yes."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jing couldn't help but ask, "Do we know that person?"
"That's the second question," Xie Xingzhi said. "I can choose not to answer it."
Zhang Jing sighed regretfully, "It's okay if you don't answer. The fact that you have a crush on someone is enough for us to gossip about for a while."
Xie Xingzhi: "..."
"When did you start having a crush?" Yu Kui asked Xie Xingzhi in a voice only they could hear. "We've been friends for so long, how come you've never mentioned it?"
Xie Xingzhi looked at her eyes and replied in the same soft voice, "It's someone I've had a crush on for a long time, but I'm too embarrassed to tell you."
Yu Kui lowered her eyelashes. "Do I know that person?"
“I won’t tell you,” Xie Xingzhi said with a smile in his eyes, “unless you get the Joker card and catch me, then I’ll answer your questions seriously.”
Looking into his slightly mischievous eyes, Yu Kui recalled what he had said to her on the first day of her freshman year. He probably already had someone he liked back then, otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned plans related to marriage.
“That’s good,” Yu Kui looked up at his angular face. “Since you have someone you like, you should seize the opportunity and not miss out on her.”
Knowing the novel's plot well, she hoped more than anyone else that Xie Xingzhi could find happiness and completely break free from his family of origin.
If he has someone he likes, then he should move forward boldly and never look back.
Listening to her words, Xie Xingzhi stared intently into her eyes, as if trying to discern her true thoughts from them.
However, Yu Kui remained calm, not only not asking any further questions, but also sincerely offering her blessings.
"Won't you mind?" Xie Xingzhi paused slightly. "If I start dating, I won't be able to see you as often in the future."
"What do you mind?" Yu Kui raised her eyes and smiled. "People tend to have less contact after they start dating, so as long as you're happy."
Although Yu Kui and Xie Xingzhi are friends, after Xie Xingzhi starts dating, she will take the initiative to keep her distance from him. She may still contact him occasionally, but she will no longer meet with him often, nor will she share anything related to herself with him.
This is a sign of respect for the woman, and also a sign of respect for their friendship.
“Hmm,” Xie Xingzhi looked away, “Are you angry that I hid it from you?”
Yu Kui shook her head, "I'm not angry."
Xie Xingzhi chuckled softly, but said nothing more.
"What are you two whispering about?" Xu Siyue said with a smile, "How about we give you some space so you can be alone together?"
“Ask him who he has a crush on,” Yu Kui looked up, “Let’s continue playing the game.”
Then some people were punished, some choosing truth or dare.
After several rounds, Yu Kui, who finally got the Joker, was finally able to hold her head high. She looked at Sun Lin, who got the number 2, and thought to herself, "I'll punish you by giving Shu Jia a princess carry for three minutes."
Sun Lin had nothing to say and immediately picked Shu Jia up.
Several close friends started taking photos of them with their phones to commemorate the occasion.
In the second half of the game, Yu Kui didn't get the Joker again and wasn't punished. Xie Xingzhi, on the other hand, was punished twice. Perhaps because he was afraid they would ask him questions he couldn't answer, he chose to play Truth or Dare.
Just when Yu Kui thought the game would end smoothly, she got the number "2" in the last round.
Yu Kui frowned slightly, looking at Xu Siyue's mischievous smile, and a bad feeling suddenly arose in her heart. Helplessly, she said, "I choose truth."
“I’ve been waiting for you here,” Xu Siyue said, her eyes shining. “Guess what question I’ll ask you?”
Yu Kui knew exactly what she would ask even without thinking: "Someone who has never been in a relationship or had a crush on anyone."
“Wrong!” Xu Siyue said, “I want to ask you, if you were to imagine living with someone long-term in your mind, who would be the first person you think of? Excluding family and friends, it can only be someone of the opposite sex.”
Yu Kui immediately wanted to say no, don't worry about her marriage, she's happy every day even if she's single.
“I’m not asking you to force yourself to think about it, I’m asking if that person is in your mind,” Xu Siyue said. “You don’t have to say his name.”
"Why are you so good to her?" Shu Jia said unhappily. "Punishing us is like being a wicked old witch, while punishing her is like being a gentle fairy."
Xu Siyue raised an eyebrow. "There's nothing I can do. I just can't bear to make things difficult for Yu Kui."
Yu Kui closed her eyes and followed Shu Jia's words. A figure actually appeared in her mind. The face looked blurry, but she felt very familiar with it.
Yu Kui's heart skipped a beat.
She tried hard to see the other person's face clearly, but stopped imagining things the moment the veil was lifted.
"Really?" Everyone looked at her curiously.
