After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

For the next three days, everyone worked separately, only bumping into each other at breakfast and dinner, and things went smoothly.

The two newcomers tried to get close to Ye Sanqing, but they failed. Except during mealtimes, Ye Sanqing would run away as soon as he saw them.

Ye Wanyin was happy; with Cheng Yanye around, she could basically just lie back and earn points.

Although Cheng Yanye isn't very useful... he's still a person, and can at least do some work.

He was actually very unwilling; he wouldn't have come on the show if it weren't to protect Wanwan.

In the end, he failed to protect her and was even beaten by Ye Sanqing several times.

Moreover, given that Ye Sanqing would avoid them whenever he saw them, there was actually no need for him to protect them.

How can you bully someone if you can't even see them in person?

However, Cheng Yanye felt incredibly manly that he could let Wanwan enjoy his care.

These are completely different from Ye Sanqing's pendants, like Sheng Hanyu, Pei Canxing, and Yin Xiangming!

So by the evening of the third day, Cheng Yanye had regained his confidence.

After dinner, the director suggested playing games again, and this time, in addition to Ye Wanyin, two more people responded enthusiastically.

"Sure." With no annoying people around these past few days, Ye Sanqing felt refreshed.

She figured the other person seemed to be asking for a beating, so she didn't mind giving them a taste of their own medicine.

"How about playing Truth or Dare?" Ye Wanyin suggested first.

Upon hearing this, Pan Hongyu stood up and said, "If it's this game, I won't participate. With an old lady like me here, you young people won't have much fun either!"

Despite everyone's attempts to persuade her, Pan Hongyu remained adamant.

She's been thinking about it these past few days, and maybe her son was just being reserved because she was there.

Several times she saw Mingming talking to the two brothers with a smile on his face, but as soon as she approached, the smile immediately disappeared from his face.

She thought about it and realized that the only reason she might feel awkward was because her elders were present.

Therefore, it's better for her to give up on this kind of game.

"Uncle, aren't you going to participate either?" Deng Lingxuan would always suddenly have a flash of inspiration at some inexplicable moment.

Ji Wan hadn't thought of that yet, because he didn't actually have that many elders; in terms of age, he was only in his thirties...

However, he also knew that seniority and age were two different things. If his absence would have a better effect, then he didn't care and could just go back to sleep early.

So everyone turned their attention to Mu Zhihong.

Mu Zhihong had already prepared his reason: "Yan Ye and I aren't that close relatives, so he shouldn't feel awkward."

Cheng Yanye shook his head in agreement.

“But I’ll feel awkward,” Ye Sanqing said.

"Sister, please let Uncle Mu participate... He's right. If Brother Yan Ye isn't embarrassed, then of course we won't feel embarrassed either," Ye Wanyin advised.

"I told you I'd be embarrassed, but you still want to play, right?" Ye Sanqing stood up and said, "Then I won't play."

"..." Sheng Hanyu didn't say anything, but silently stood up as well.

Seeing him stand up, Pei Canxing also stood up.

"!" Ye Wanyin gritted her teeth inwardly. Were these three really that much of a group?

But she went there today specifically to see Ye Sanqing.

Ye Wanyin glanced at everyone. Yin Xiangming looked somewhat hesitant when he saw the three of them stand up, while Deng Lingxuan looked completely confused about what they were talking about.

"Never mind, never mind," Mu Zhihong said, seeing the situation, he had no choice but to change course. "Oh, I didn't expect to look old in your eyes! Fine, you guys have fun, this old man is going back first."

He was trying to cultivate an image of being kind, gentle, tolerant, and emotionally stable, so naturally, he did whatever was best for that image.

"Actually, you are old." Ye Sanqing said mercilessly. "You're twenty years older than me and you're not old?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhihong's fake smile almost crumbled.

Sheng Hanyu added, "He's twenty-two years older than me, that's a whole generation older than me, Uncle Mu, you..."

As she spoke, she tried to watch him leave with the eyes of someone worried that an elderly person might fall.

[Huh? Is Mu that old? He doesn't look like he's in his thirties.]

Ji Wancai is actually in his thirties, but he looks like he's in his forties...

It's not a good idea to use someone's age as a basis for criticism.

[What's wrong with it? Isn't this true? What, did those twenty years not exist? Or did he live in reverse? Negative growth!]

[Time has reversed, hasn't it? I suggest taking it for research.]

He's really well-preserved; he looks like one of those domineering CEOs in his early thirties from a novel who's finally got a good face.

Hmm... he's only good-looking, I don't think his behavior is very much like a domineering CEO.

That's the charm of a gentle, older man.

She's charming; otherwise, she wouldn't have had so many exes.

Are you jealous?

[Charming as he may be... it still feels a bit strange to unleash his charm on a woman like Ye Sanqing, who is twenty years younger than him...]

So what? True love knows no age.

I think you have no intelligence whatsoever.

No matter how much the comments on the screen argued, only a few young people remained at the scene.

Cheng Yanye enthusiastically went to fetch the beer. He didn't care whether Mu Zhihong was there or not; he just knew that now was the time for him to show his manliness!

Hmph, once he gets those two surnamed Sheng and Pei drunk, Ye Sanqing will know who the real men are among them.

As for Yin Xiangming? He wasn't mentioned at this time simply because Cheng Yanye had forgotten about his existence again.

"Do we really have to drink this?" Ye Sanqing had drunk some beer earlier, which tasted like water and made him feel bloated. Plus, it wasn't cold and didn't taste good. But now they were so cold that they needed to wrap themselves in blankets and sit around the fireplace...

"I'll go ask the production team." Sheng Hanyu also felt it wasn't quite right, and upon hearing this, she got up and left.

He returned quickly, carrying a bottle of clear liquid and another bottle... a jar? of some kind of wine.

“Besides beer, they only have these two kinds,” Sheng Hanyu handed the bottle to Ye Sanqing. “This one can be mixed into a beverage, and this one can be drunk warm.”

He then told everyone, "You can choose whichever you want to drink now, just don't mix them."

Ye Sanqing became interested in the alcohol that could be mixed into a beverage. She opened the lid, smelled it, and asked, "You know how to mix it?"

Sheng Hanyu said, "Without the tools, I can't make anything too complicated, but I can still make simple seasonings."

"Okay, shall I add some orange juice?" Ye Sanqing said.

The wine smelled very similar to a drink from her past life; it would be even closer if orange juice were added. She quite liked it.

"Master Ye has excellent taste," Sheng Hanyu said with a smile.

The others also chose alcohol, mostly opting for vodka because it was too cold and beer was too icy.

Ye Wanyin would certainly not choose yellow wine; she felt that the taste was not in line with her status.

Deng Lingxuan rarely drinks alcohol, believing that at least cocktails can have a milder flavor.

Sheng Hanyu asked Pei Canxing to go with him to get cups and drinks, and they returned quickly.

So, there was only a case of beer next to Cheng Yanye.

That would make him seem silly, so he tried to stop him, saying, "Master Ye, be careful, this guy is definitely going to add something to your drink. It's safer to drink beer."

“…?” Sheng Hanyu’s understanding of Cheng Yanye’s stupidity deepened every day.

"Tell me, how did you manage to add all that stuff?" Sheng Hanyu said. "Does this orange juice look familiar to you?"

As he spoke, he waved a large bottle of orange juice in front of the other person.

Cheng Yanye: What is he saying...?!

After understanding Sheng Hanyu's meaning, he suddenly looked at Ye Wanyin with a guilty conscience. Ye Wanyin's expression was not very good.

This guy just had to bring up the very thing he didn't want to talk about.

Damn it, it's all because of him, Wanwan is going to be unhappy again.

Cheng Yanye immediately fell silent and obediently opened a beer and placed it in front of him.

What is it that I can't hear?

Orange juice... add something... let me think about it.

Did he do something like that himself? That's why Xiao Sheng asked if he looked familiar.

You're overthinking it! It was just a casual remark; don't overinterpret it!

Ye Wanyin's pale face was indeed due to this; she suddenly realized that this leverage was too useful to the other party, and this couldn't continue.

She needs to find a way to break through...

Speaking of which, is Tong Wuyu waiting in the small town?

So the game began. The rules were simple: everyone took turns spinning the bottle clockwise. The person whose bottle was facing up chose to play truth or dare, while the person whose bottle was facing down asked the question.

If you don't want to answer or do something, you can drink alcohol instead.

Ye Wanyin, who was originally sitting next to Ye Sanqing, quickly said to Deng Lingxuan on the other side after hearing the rules, "Xuanxuan, let's switch seats."

There was a loophole in the rules because there were only seven people on the field, so it wasn't a one-to-one correspondence, and Ye Wanyin quickly discovered this.

After Ye Wanyin changed her position, she could face Sheng Hanyu and Pei Canxing on the other side, while Cheng Yanye on her other side could face Ye Sanqing, which made things more convenient for her.

Deng Lingxuan didn't understand why, but she still changed it.

She also felt a little awkward. Cheng Yanye was going to sit with Ye Wanyin in the first place, and she didn't want to sit between them in the first place... Wouldn't it have been better if she had just sat like this earlier?

Ye Sanqing smiled noncommittally when he saw her change seats.

Cheng Yanye was naturally happy to see Ye Wanyin coming over, and wanted to secretly hold her hand, but gave up because there was no table in front of them.

Everyone sat around the fire, and there were two small tables set up for drinks and bottles, so it was a bit awkward. But in this weather, you can't just sit outside without warming yourself by the fire, so we had to sacrifice a little for the sake of warmth.

The first round started with Deng Lingxuan. After the bottle was spun, the bottom faced Deng Lingxuan and the mouth faced Yin Xiangming.

“Kiss the person next to you!” Deng Lingxuan announced triumphantly, hands on her hips.

"Hey! Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Yin Xiangming had Pei Canxing on his left and Cheng Yanye on his right, so Cheng Yanye jumped up.

"Where did we go wrong? Didn't we say that in Truth or Dare we could designate someone to do something?" Deng Lingxuan asked, puzzled.

Because her family was very strict with her, she had never actually played this kind of game with her peers; she had only seen some of it on TV.

"You can't involve innocent people! It's called the King's Game if it requires two or more people to cooperate! And it's not open-ended! Don't you understand? And the other person has to choose truth or dare before you can make a request! Don't you even know that?"

Cheng Yan was a little envious and wondered how someone could not even understand such a simple thing. Since drinking games were his forte, he immediately started lecturing.

"..." Deng Lingxuan blushed a little, but she was also indignant. Why should Cheng Yanye lecture her too?

So she whispered to Ye Wanyin, "Wanwan, is that how it is?"

“Brother Yanye is right, Xuanxuan. If you don’t understand, you can ask me first. Now you’ve made a fool of yourself, haven’t you?” Ye Wanyin’s eyes were filled with reproach, but immediately turned into pampering and generosity. “It’s okay, we won’t laugh at you.”

"Aren't you already making fun of her with those words?"
