The clouds and mists have dispersed, and everyone knows that I love you.

Shi Rong also found it very funny, and could imagine what kind of expression Huo Yiyan would have at that time, given her aloof personality.

It must be uglier than crying...

The few of them teased Chu Yu for a while, and then drank a toast together. Then he turned his gaze to Shi Yang beside him.

"Then let me ask you, Master Ying."

Shi Yang didn't raise his hand indifferently, his expression was contented, and he made a "please" gesture, generously indicating that he could just ask.

Chu Yu gave a cunning smile and asked a question that had been on his mind for a long time.

"I've always wanted to know. Back then, I personally drafted and issued the petition that sent you to prison. Do you hate me? What would you have done if Grandma Ying hadn't rescued you? During the five years Shi Rong was in North City, you knew she was suffering. Given how important she was to you, didn't you ever think of rescuing her?"

The three questions raised by Chu Zhao were all serious and distressing topics.

This time, the few of them did not laugh. Instead, they put away the smiles on their faces and sighed, but they did not mind.

After all, it is a confession game, so all kinds of problems will arise. Moreover, this is very much like Chu Zhao's serious temperament.

Shi Yang did not hesitate and responded to his questions one by one in the order in which he asked them.

"I won't hate you, because what's done is done. I'm not that petty. Besides, I was reckless and impulsive back then, and I used the wrong approach. If grandma hadn't rescued me, I would have either escaped from prison or just made do with my life. Anyway, life over there isn't as hard as I imagined."

When answering the last question, Shi Yang paused noticeably.

“我当然想去解救忬儿，甚至在她要去北城之前，我都想把她揍晕，留在身边。但我知道，我就算再不舍，都不能坏了她的大计。因为她此行，除了想要嫁给霍九州，也是为了她从小到大，心心念念的自由，那是她最向往的事情。”

"To outsiders, the Ying family's eldest daughter seemed incredibly glorious, but only those of us who grew up with her knew how repressed she lived every day. Even after she followed her family's wishes and returned from her studies, she still lived under her grandmother's self-imposed strictures."

"Even her daily routine of getting up and going to bed, how many meals she eats, what dishes she eats, what clothes she wears, when she goes to work and when she gets home, how many times a month she can go to the mall and what she can buy, and even the time she takes to wash, bathe, and go to the bathroom, are all strictly controlled by her grandmother according to the family rules."

"In your eyes, Ying Shirong is perfect, a peerless genius. That's all she achieved day after day, sacrificing herself, enduring the pain of stepping on the edge of a knife, wiping away her own blood, and taking every step forward."

"No one in this world understands the value of freedom more than she does, so I will suppress all urges to go and rescue her until the bet is over and she can return home safely."

"Because I want her to be happy more than just being with her every day. I want her to break free from the constraints imposed on her by the Ying family. I also know that no matter what she encounters, she will definitely survive tenaciously."

"Because she is my sister, the person I know best since I was a child."

"Even in the inhumane and harsh environment of the Ying family, she can endure it. Nothing can embarrass her. As she often said before, she is a devil who crawled out of hell and returned to the human world just to covet this moment of freedom."

After Shi Yang finished speaking, everyone present was silent.

They were all thinking about the same question: what kind of belief did Shi Rong have in her heart that allowed her to face life courageously after enduring so many life-threatening situations?

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably have wanted to die a long time ago, right?

When Shi Yangren said these words, his heart was broken, and his unruly handsome face was filled with extreme sadness and pity.

As for Shi Rong, the person he was talking about, she looked like she was just listening to someone else's past. Her face was completely expressionless. She was even calm and composed, calmly and nonchalantly eating a spicy squid tentacles on the table...

The man on the other end kept staring at her, and the tall and graceful Huo Jiuzhou couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Little fool, your heart must be bleeding, but in order not to spoil everyone's fun, you still pretend to be calm.

The calmer she was, the more heartbroken he became. His Ah Rong was still the same as before, always making him feel heartbroken and obsessed with her.

……

Seeing that the atmosphere was really depressing, Shi Rong raised his elbow and secretly nudged Shi Yang beside him, signaling him to find some topics to turn around the drinking party that was about to be ruined.

The man understood and was the first to adjust the worried expression on his face and took a deep breath.

"Hey! Is it my turn to ask a question?"

After hearing what he said, several people knew that he was deliberately trying to relieve everyone's depressed mood, and they nodded in response hurriedly.

Xia Zhi said: "Yes, it's your turn, big brother. Tell me, who do you want to ask?"

Shi Yang's eyes, as dark as the night, darted around and finally stopped at Shen Mingxing, who had the lowest laugh point in the audience.

"Ask our naturally charming sister Mingxing. Tell me, do you like Huo Qiye? Have you ever had a one-night stand with him? If not, when do you plan to try out his abilities in that area?"

"Hahahahahahaha~"

He and Shi Rong are indeed siblings. Even the tricky questions they ask are equally overwhelming.

As the lively laughter of several people rang out again, the overall atmosphere was finally no longer dull and depressing.

Shen Mingxing's face flushed, and she glared at him fiercely, her whole body filled with obvious arrogance.

"As a brother, you only know how to bully us sisters all day long. I'm so annoyed by you!"

Shi Yang remained silent and laughed smugly.

"Isn't having a younger sister just for bullying? Hurry up and tell me!"

Shen Mingxing thought about it, and although he was a little reluctant to admit it, he still said what was in his heart.

"Well... I like him quite a bit. As for a one-night stand, we had one, but it didn't work out because his grandfather called him away right after he took off his clothes. As for when he wants to try again, that's up to him. I won't initiate it anyway..."

"Haha."

Shi Rong was amused by her arrogant tone and laughed out loud, not forgetting to complain.

"This is so embarrassing."

Ji Xinyue nodded frantically at her, her smile growing wider.

"I feel so too."

Shen Mingxing glared at the two giggling women and was furious.

"You two are so annoying!"

"Hahaha!"

Speaking of Chu Yu, she has never seen anyone who can make the "venomous tongue movie queen" Shen Mingxing defeated in front of her. It is estimated that only Shi Rong can do it.
