After being reborn, I became the big boss's darling.

Tang Zhi set up a question wheel on her phone, and the group started rolling the dice.

The loser in the first round was Shi Xubai.

He believed he had nothing to hide from Tang Zhi, so he confidently chose the truth.

Tang Zhi's first question was:

How many relationships have you had since you started school?

Shi Xubai: "..."

Can I still exchange it now?

Seeing that Shi Xubai was dragging his feet and not speaking, Tang Zhiliao said impatiently, "Speak up, are you mute?"

"...Three levels. You're the third level." Shi Xubai looked at Tang Zhi with some hesitation, then quickly explained, "Zhizhi, listen to me. All that before was just my arrogance. Now that I've met you, I can't stand anyone else..."

"Get lost, who's your third segment?"

"Oh, this can't be right..."

"Next game, next game."

"..."

The next loser is Ci Jinian.

She chose the dare.

"Kiss one of the opposite sexes present."

"?" Shi Xubai was stunned. Was there really such a good thing? He should have known better than to choose truth or dare.

"Huh?" Ji Nianci was also stunned. Is this some kind of thrilling game?

Perhaps because he had a little wine, Shen Ceyan was not as composed and calm as usual.

His broad, sturdy back naturally leaned against the chair back. A slight upturn at the corners of his lips revealed an indescribable interest.

Those deep eyes would occasionally fall on Ji Nianci, as if observing her next move.

The whole atmosphere was filled with a subtle tension.

"Hurry up!" Tang Zhi urged, seeing that Ci hadn't moved for a while.

I finally drew a thrilling dare, this is a great opportunity!

Although Ji Nianci was a little shy, she was also somewhat eager to try.

She quickly leaned in and planted a light, fleeting kiss on Shen Ceyan's face.

She then quickly sat back down, her face slightly flushed, and lowered her head.

"Wow wow~" Tang Zhi clapped her hands and cheered.

Shen Ceyan was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't expected her to be so proactive.

After all, this girl usually doesn't know how to keep her mouth shut, but if you really ask her to do something, she'll probably blush to the roots of her neck.

His heartbeat quickened slightly for no apparent reason, and something deep within him was touched.

Then, somewhat absentmindedly, he picked up the glass of wine in front of him and downed it in one gulp, as if he were suppressing some emotions.

"Hey, what are you doing? It's not your turn yet, why are you drinking?" Tang Zhi teased him with a smile.

Both women were smiling.

The most frustrated person at the table was probably Shi Xubai, who glared at Shen Ceyan with some resentment.

Why can't I have such a good thing happen to me?

Next time I'll definitely choose dare!

It seems that Heaven heard his prayers, because Shi Xubai won the next round.

"A big adventure! A big adventure!"

Before Tang Zhi could even ask, he had already answered first.

Tang Zhi glanced at the man beside her who had suddenly become excited, and gave him a disdainful look.

Do twenty push-ups.

Shi Xubai: "?"

He immediately protested, "No, what's going on? You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

"What do you mean by intentional or not? It was all done by smoking, okay?"

Tang Zhi showed him her phone screen.

As Bai stared at the seven large, bright words "Do twenty push-ups" on the spinning wheel on the screen, he instantly deflated.

"Okay, why is it that they get to kiss, but I get to do push-ups..."

"Enough with the nonsense, just get on with it."

"Oh."

Shi Xubai lay on the ground, filled with hatred, and finished the twenty push-ups.

Tang Zhi originally designed this game to try and get some information out of Shen Ceyan, and also to improve their relationship.

After playing many rounds, Shen Ceyan didn't lose many times. Even when he did lose, he only drew some minor, insignificant questions.

Things like "favorite food", "favorite color", or "evaluate your own appearance".

Tang Zhi was too lazy to ask any of these questions.

The other three, on the other hand, after so many rounds, were practically ready to reveal all their secrets.

Remembering Ci: "...What happened to the prepared platitudes?"

"..."

"Ugh, I'm done playing, it's so boring. Niannian, let's go back to the room and chat. You two grown men can do whatever you want."

After Tang Zhi finished speaking, she got up, took Ji Nianci's hand, and went back to her room.

Only Shen Ceyan and Shi Xubai remained, staring at each other in the living room.

"..."

"What's going on? Why did you suddenly stop playing?" Ji Nianci was a little confused after being pulled into the room.

Tang Zhi gently closed the door, then turned around and looked at him with a helpless expression, saying, "Still playing? Didn't you see? We've been playing for so long, what have we gotten out of you? On the contrary, we've told you everything. Your guy is a total game killer. Let's leave this important task to Shi Xubai."

"That seems true..."

the other side.

Shen Ceyan poured himself another glass of wine and said calmly, "Tell me, what are you up to now?"

"Huh? No?" Shi Xubai was stunned. Was it that obvious?

"Still pretending with me." Shen Ceyan gently swirled his wine glass with his long, strong fingers, then glanced at him with raised eyelids.

"All right……"

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that Zhizhi wanted me to ask you how you can stop getting angry with Nianci."

Zhizhi said, "Nianci has done quite a lot, but you always seem indifferent. She just wants to know what you're really thinking."

Shen Ceyan's expression darkened, and he downed another full glass of wine before finally speaking after a long while:

"I am not angry."

"Who are you kidding?" Shi Xubai gave him a look that said, "You'd be a fool to believe me."

"Why don't you make up if you're not angry? You really don't know how lucky you are. If Zhizhi treated me like this, I don't know how happy I would be."

You'd better tell me something useful, otherwise I won't be able to explain myself. Zhizhi finally entrusted me with something.

Shen Ceyan lowered his eyes, his ink-black pupils reflecting the sloshing in the cup, making it impossible to discern his emotions.

"I just don't know what her feelings for me are."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm afraid that she doesn't really love me, but only feels guilty."

"..."

"I want to give her some time to think things over and let her understand her own feelings. I'm afraid she'll regret it later."

In the depths of his unfathomable black eyes, a sense of panic and chaos lingered. Like a lone boat in a storm, it seemed poised to be swallowed by towering waves at any moment; or like a traveler lost in a vast desert, unable to find his way forward, only able to wander in despair.

Shen Ceyan's appearance left Shi Xubai speechless for a moment.

A man's inscrutable voice came from the phone.

At this moment, Ji Nianci's eyes were already red.
