Ye Min laughed even sweeter, loudly declaring, “I said, I’ve answered your question. I like you!’
After confirming again, Han Cheng was ecstatic, behaving like a fool as he excitedly exclaimed to Guan Bo, “The person I like, likes me back! Did you hear that? She likes me too!”
Guan Bo felt a sharp pang in his heart, wearing a sorrowful expression as he said out loud, “You don’t have to be so happy about it!”
Han Cheng immediately restrained his joy. He had forgotten that the person Guan Bo liked didn’t reciprocate those feelings. His excitement had indeed touched on Guan Bo t s sore spot.
Han Cheng buried his happiness deep within, but the joy started overflowing from his heart. He glanced at Ye Min, then under the table, extended his trembling hand toward her, his eyes filled with anticipation, staring intently at her.
Ye Min looked at the large palm before her and the anxious Han Cheng. A sweet smile spread across her lips as she placed her hand in Han Chengs palm. The two interlocked their fingers as if no one else was around.
Guan Bo just sighed softly; tears were almost streaming down. It was truly a devastating situation.
This smitten couple was oblivious to his feelings. They were immersed in their sweet world while he was experiencing heartbreak. Truly, the joys and sorrows of humanity did not always resonate with others.
“Hurry up! Spin the bottle!” Guan Bo angrily shouted.
Han Cheng, feeling a bit embarrassed, smiled at everyone and then spun the bottle. Soon, the bottle pointed toward Gu Chen.
Han Cheng looked at Gu Chen and said, “Truth or dare!”
Gu Chen’s soft gaze fell on Shen Xi. He then said, “Truth!”
Unaware of his gaze on her, Shen Xi remained focused on her phone, quietly counting down in her mind. When ten minutes were up, she immediately got up from Guan Lei’s lap and sat back down.
This discreet action pleased Gu Chen, and his furrowed brows relaxed.
Han Cheng, unfamiliar with everyone, could only ask Ye Min, “What should I ask him?”
“Should I ask instead?” Ye Min suggested.
Han Cheng nodded affectionately and said, “Sure, you ask!”
Ye Min looked at Gu Chen with a touch of coldness and asked directly, “Master Gu, did you alter Xi’s memory?”
The straightforward question drew everyone’s attention to Gu Chen. Facing Shen Xi’s gaze, Gu Chen smiled and replied, “It wasn’t me.”
Gu Chen responded decisively and with conviction, without the slightest hesitation.
Both Ye Min and Zhao Yuan stared at Gu Chen with skepticism.
Guan Lei, however, sneered disdainfully, saying, “It’s just a game. Some people, lacking game ethics, probably won’t adhere to the rules.”
Ignoring Guan Lei, Gu Chen looked at Shen Xi with clear eyes and asked in a gentle tone, “Xi, do you believe it wasn’t me?”
Shen Xi, under the expectant gaze of Gu Chen, pondered for a while and, succumbing to the seemingly sincere eyes, replied, “1 believe you.”
This elicited several sighs of lament, giving off a feeling that Shen Xi was beyond help.
Gu Chen paid no attention to the reactions of others. As long as Shen Xi believed him, it was enough.
“I’ve told the truth, so let’s continue.” Gu Chen smiled and looked around before spinning the bottle.
When the bottle pointed at Shen Xi again, Gu Chen took a glance at Guan Lei and asked, “Xi, truth or dare?”
Having just experienced the awkwardness of sitting on Guan Lei’s lap, Shen Xi reluctantly chose truth.
“Xi, between me and Guan Lei, whom do you prefer to be with?” Gu Chen stared at Shen Xi without blinking.
This sharp question instantly piqued everyone’s interest.
Even though they knew Shen Xi’s current state of confusion, they still wanted to know how messed up her thoughts were,
While Gu Chen might have asked the question to irritate Guan Lei, his behavior, disregarding her situation, decreased Shen Xi’s fondness for him.
However, for this particular question, if not for Gu Chen asking, Shen Xi had to admit her answer would be Gu Chen.
After all, in her mind, Gu Chen was her boyfriend of several years, and they shared many sweet memories between them..
