Chapter 276: Heartfelt Words

He was angry, but at the same time, he was a little nonplussed.

His sorry state was covered with a surly appearance.

Xiang Wan was actually quite worried that the two of them might get into an argument.

After all, Xie Wanwan was not someone who had a good temper. She was basically a princess, a famous celebrity in the hearts of her fans where they held her in a pedestal and treated her with care! How would she be able to tolerate anyone who shouted at her?

Moreover, this happened in front of so many people?

In the nervous atmosphere, Xie Wanwan suddenly got up.

Xiang Wan’s heart skipped a beat and wanted to stop the fight—only to realize that Xie Wanwan got up to get some tissue.

“Hurry and wipe your nose! The beer is going to come out from it!”

She took a piece of tissue in her hand and handed it to Tang Yuanchu.

That was so unexpected! Everybody was frozen by her response.

Eh? Tang Yuanchu was dazed as well.

He looked up slowly and saw the beautiful face close to him.

“… Tha-Thank you!” He stammered as he spoke.

This piece of tissue saved his fragile heart.

He also couldn’t help coughing a few more times.

This time, Xie Wanwan did not diss him. She sat back down and started to eat her crayfish again.

After Tang Yuanchu settled down and cleared his throat, he despised his earlier sensitivity as well as the pain of his self-esteem being torn apart.

It was a feeling that he had never had before.

It was weird, awkward, and uncontrollable. That made him turn into someone that was not himself. He was actually jealous of Captain Quan.

He knew that he could not hold a candle against Quan Shaoteng.

Even if Xie Wanwan really liked Quan Shaoteng—No! No matter if she liked him or not, it was none of his business!

He and Xie Wanwan… never belonged in the same world.

Xie Wanwan would not like him.

As for him—he might not like her a lot as well. She was just beautiful.

In this way, Tang Yuanchu tried to convince himself. His thoughts constantly fought against each other.

Xie Wanwan did not say anything more. The rest of them continued to eat their crayfish or drink liquor as they did not have much common topic.

What could be said was not easy to say.

Words that were easy to say could not be said.

They were not in the same industry, even a chat out of courtesy seemed so difficult.

“Let’s find something to do?” Xie Wanwan chuckled. “Otherwise, how are we going to survive the long, dreary night?”

“Finish eating earlier and go back to sleep.” Bai Muchuan was a little impatient.

“All of us are single and we’re not in a hurry to sleep, unlike you!” Xie Wanwan’s eyebrows tangled in a frown.

The rest of them laughed and concurred. “Yeah, we the singles ones just suffered a blow, Captain Bai!”

“Exactly!”

While Xie Wanwan laughed, Salimu got excited.

“I have a suggestion! Why don’t we play The Truth Game?”

“… How do we play that?”

“Huh? You never played this before?”

“Well, I’ve only heard of Truth or Dare.”

“Oh!” Salimu scratched his head. “That’s the one.”

That’s so old school! Xie Wanwan remarked inside her head. “… What’re the rules?”

Salimu was happy again. His look indicated that he was an easily contented person.

“There’s still quite a lot of crayfish left. Everyone will guess the number of uneaten crayfish if it’s an odd or even number. How ’bout it? Those who guessed wrongly need to answer a question truthfully or do a dare indicated by those who guessed it correctly.”

That’s something new. Guess the number of crayfish?

Quan Shaoteng snorted a laugh. “What if we’ve finished eating them?”

Uh! Salimu looked around and saw a food container that had not been opened.

“We’ll guess the number of crayfish inside that container! Just guess one round will do!”

“Fine!”

Xie Wanwan and Quan Shaoteng agreed.

Xiang Wan and Bai Muchuan did not express their opinion.

Tang Yuanchu gave his silent consent…

They had finished several containers of spicy hot crayfish. The liquor was almost finished as well.

It was a simple and straightforward game by guessing if the number of crayfish in the unopened container was an odd or even number.

Xie Wanwan guessed wrongly.

Xiang Wan guessed wrongly.

Salimu guessed wrongly as well.

Quan Shaoteng exclaimed, “The bright ones guessed it correctly.”

Xie Wanwan was unhappy when she heard that. “Hey! Is this even related to intelligence?”

“Of course.” Quan Shaoteng showed a ravishing smile. “Otherwise, why didn’t you win?”

“Say it again?”

“Those who have enough intelligence won!”

“…”

Both Quan Shaoteng and Xie Wanwan looked at each other stubbornly, refusing to back down. Both of them were obstinate and there was as though flames coming out from their eyes.

Although there was nothing between them, something was happening inside Tang Yuanchu. He was watching from the side, a sour feeling within him was increasing rapidly.

“Ahem!”

Bai Muchuan broke the silence.

“Winners pick the losers now!”

This came from the person who was always using his brain. He was the first to choose and, of course, he chose Xiang Wan. While helping her to get out of the situation, he also took advantage of her.

“I’ll pick the Truth! Xiang Wan, may I ask who is the most handsome guy in this room? Tell me your answer by giving that guy a kiss.”

“…”

Xiang Wan was speechless.

“This question—do I have another choice?”

“Of course you can!” Bai Muchuan looked at her with a half-smile that felt cold and spelled danger. It was as though he was saying—if you’re not afraid of the consequences, you can go ahead and try!

Xiang Wan got what he had meant, why would she risk it?

“Ahem!” Since she had to put on a show, she told herself, she better do it seriously. “I feel that the most handsome guy in this room is Bai Muchuan.” She had a serious face when she said that. “He’s the most good-looking person in the whole world—”

After that, she drew closer and wanted to give him a kiss.

But the next second, her neck as well as her waist was held by Bai Muchuan. He had pulled her over.

“Uh—!” Xiang Wan was powerless against the situation.

And so she was in a daze, sitting on Bai Muchuan’s laps. Under the cheering sounds of the rest of them, Bai Muchuan kissed her forehead, pinched her face, and lifted her chin before kissing her lightly on the lips as though it was a ceremony—

That’s so bold of him.

There were four people looking at them!

Xiang Wan’s heart was beating furiously, her cheeks now suffused with a red hue, and she felt she was going to melt under his warm breath…

“What the! Little Bai, my eyes… don’t you know that I’m still single?”

Bai Muchuan ignored Quan Shaoteng and continued to hug Xiang Wan as he smiled faintly at the rest.

“I don’t mind if any of you wants to imitate me!”

“…”

How could they be imitating him?

Salimu was blushing. When Bai Muchuan swept a glance at him, he nearly bit his own tongue.

“I-I, can I not play this anymore…?”

“Hurhur, you have the guts to suggest this but did not have the guts to face it?” Quan Shaoteng pointed at him. “I’ll choose you!”

“Ah!” Salimu was so scared that his mouth was wide-opened as though it could not be closed properly back again.

Looking at the handsome face of Quan Shaoteng, not sure what Salimu thought inside his head, his ears went red and he seemed very anxious as he waved his hands about frantically.

“No, no… we can’t do this.”

Quan Shaoteng: “…”

“Hahaha!”

Quan Shaoteng felt speechless while the rest of them cackled out loud without a care for their image.

“What are you bleeping thinking about?” Quan Shaoteng stared at him in vexation and quickly asked his question. “Truth! You, tell everyone how many centimeters are you?”

“… What?!” Although Salimu was pure and innocent—when facing Quan Shaoteng’s playful gaze, coupled with the expression of the rest who seemed to be simmering with laughter, he came to a conclusion what Captain Quan was referring to.

Salimu felt so embarrassed that he wished the ground would swallow him up.

“I’ve never measured it.”

“Hahaha!”

Some were laughing whereas Quan Shaoteng was as serious as ever.

“Go measure it then come back with your answer.”

“…” The red hue on Salimu’s face deepened. “No measuring tape.”

“Use your hand to measure!” Quan Shaoteng pulled a long face and was as serious as ever. “Hurry up, everyone’s waiting!”

“Captain Quan…” Salimu was so lost that he nearly cried. “Why not change… to a simpler question?” He begged for mercy. “This… this one is too much, there are female comrades here.”

“Cough!” Quan Shaoteng raised an eyebrow. “Young fellow, are you alright? I asked you how many centimeters, isn’t this question simple? If this is not simple, what is simple? You don’t even bleeping know how tall you are? Eh? What exactly do you think I’m asking about?”

“…”

“Hahahahaha!”

Everyone else knew that he was pranking Salimu and could no longer hold their laughter.

Poor Salimu! His face was now red like a pig’s liver due to his darker skin tone.

“I… I don’t know.”

“Say it, what on earth did you think of?”

“Ah, ah, ah! Captain Quan, you did that on purpose!”

Not too bad!

He had realized that!

Quan Shaoteng snorted, “So, how many centimeters are you?”

Salimu was so abashed that he covered his face. “Seventeen… No, 170 centimeters.”

“Hahahahaha!”

“No wonder you’re so skinny like the baby chick.”

Tang Yuanchu was unable to laugh although the rest were joking around happily.

He and Xie Wanwan were up next. What kind of question should he ask her?

He was thinking about it as he wanted to ask something appropriate. But no matter how hard he thought about it, he felt he was too silly!

If the question was too decent, there would be no entertainment value which defeats the purpose of the game.

But if it was a question with entertainment value, she would most likely hate it as it could end up as though they were the tabloid reporters chasing her for a reply.

Tang Yuanchu was unable to come to a conclusion. He was so flustered that his perspiration was almost forced out!

On the other hand, Xie Wanwan did not seem to care at all as she continued to eat the remaining crayfish. “Go on, ask away!” she said as she raised her chin.

“Oh!”

After drinking a bottle of beer, Tang Yuanchu’s face was already flushed red. That awkward look of his was totally unlike the look of one who would be asking the question.

“I choose Truth, this place is not suitable for Dare… Cough. What do you look for… in an ideal partner?”
