Chapter 398 Confession
Chapter 398 Confession
Several people sat down around the round table. Some were relaxed and at ease, some looked amused, and some sat upright, sizing each other up. Beneath the calm surface, there was a turbulent undercurrent.
Jiang Zhouzhou never expected that a game would start before it even began, and everyone's competitive spirit was already evident.
As the saying goes, three men make a drama.
And the six men sitting there are all drama queens.
As the homeowner, Jiang Zhouzhou took the initiative to shuffle the cards.
Open the deck of cards and, according to the rules of the game, select out all the J, Q, K, and Joker cards.
"I've heard that playing cards are all-encompassing. The 52 cards are the standard deck, representing the 52 weeks in a year, while the two jokers are the side deck. The big joker symbolizes the sun, and the little joker symbolizes the moon."
While shuffling the cards, Jiang Zhouzhou talked about her knowledge of playing cards to keep the atmosphere from cooling down.
"Spades, hearts, clubs, and diamonds, these four suits symbolize the four seasons of the year."
"There are 13 cards from A to K, representing 13 weeks in each quarter. The total of 52 cards is 354, which is very close to the cycle of a year."
After saying all that, she had dealt all the cards.
With slender fingers, she picked up the scattered cards, gathered them together, tapped them on the table, and arranged them neatly.
"Brother Nanfeng, draw one first!"
The game is about comparing the size of the points; you only need to draw one card to determine the winner.
The glass disc on the table rotated slowly. When the card landed on Gu Nanfeng's position, Jiang Zhouzhou's fingertip landed on the disc, stopping it.
Gu Nanfeng smiled and picked up the first card.
"Then let's choose this one."
This kind of game relies purely on luck, so there's no need to waste time carefully selecting options.
He casually tossed the chosen cards onto the table without revealing them.
The disc continued to spin, and Lin Chen, sitting next to Gu Nanfeng, drew the second card.
He stared at the thin stack of cards, his brows furrowed, deeply troubled about which to choose.
Finally, he picked one out from the middle.
Zhou Xian drew the third card, casually picking up the second one.
Next up is Ji Yu'an, who took the bottom card.
When it was Xiao Dian's turn, he looked at Jiang Zhouzhou and said, "Sister, help me choose."
The little brat is always sticking to Jiang Zhouzhou, and even chooses to sit right next to her.
Jiang Zhouzhou, recalling her experience of always having the worst luck when grabbing red envelopes in the petting group, asked him, "Are you sure?"
Sheng Jingyao nodded emphatically: "Of course, I believe you."
Seeing that he said that, Jiang Zhouzhou helped Xiao Dian pick out a card.
The two glanced at the numbers on the cards, their expressions both unreadable.
When it was Jiang Zhouzhou's turn to draw a card, she resignedly picked up a random one.
Finally, it was Yin Yue's turn. He slowly reached out from the remaining cards, flicked the first card away with his fingertips, and said to everyone present, "Let's reveal our cards!"
The first card he challenged to reveal was a 9 of diamonds.
Gu Nanfeng's score is 7, Lin Chen's is 5, Zhou Xian's is 7, and Ji Yu'an's is 6.
When it was Xiao Dian's turn, Lin Chen couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw that it was a small, worthless 3.
Xiao Dian immediately complained, "Sister, he was laughing at you."
Lin Chen's smile froze instantly. "I didn't mock Zhouzhou. Don't try to sow discord, you brat."
Finally, everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Zhouzhou.
Jiang Zhouzhou resignedly revealed the cards.
—Ace of Hearts.
There was a moment of silence.
It wasn't because Zhouzhou lost, but because the American cockroach won.
This insidious and cunning man will undoubtedly seek shameless benefits for himself under the guise of "punishment".
Don't ask them why they know so much, because... that's what they think too.
Jiang Zhouzhou sat up straight, glanced at Yin Yue, and said in a weak voice, "Brother Yin Yue, please have mercy."
Yin Yue gave her a reassuring smile, then glanced at the faces of all the rivals present, and said in a calm and unhurried voice, "I don't play this kind of game much, and I don't know much about the punishments, so let's choose a punishment that Zhouzhou often plays on her live stream!"
Seeing all eyes on him, Yin Yue deliberately dragged out his words, "How about a minute to confess?"
Jiang Zhouzhou: "..."
The living room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
In this kind of game, you have to accept the consequences of your bet, and others can't voice their opinions even if they have them.
For Jiang Zhouzhou, the punishment of "confessing her feelings" was a piece of cake.
But a live stream is a live stream, and now...
It was in person!
And in front of so many people!
Jiang Zhouzhou instinctively reached for her water cup to drink, but there was no one next to her.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, she took a deep breath and resignedly said, "Well, then I'll confess!"
Her clear, black-and-white eyes shifted slightly as she looked at Yin Yue's face. His refined features appeared gentle, but he could also be quite wicked when he wanted to be.
She gently bit her lip, carefully considering the words to express her feelings, and then slowly began to speak: "Brother Yin Yue, actually, I've kept these words in my heart for a long time, but I've never had the chance to tell you face to face. Taking advantage of this punishment, I want to tell you everything that's been weighing on my heart. From the moment you first came to my live stream, I've noticed you. Your name was so striking, yet it's deeply etched in my heart..."
The words were spoken slowly and hesitantly, failing to get to the point.
Yin Yue noticed her little secret but didn't expose her. He just looked at her with a doting smile.
A minute passed in the blink of an eye, and before Jiang Zhouzhou could finish speaking, Sheng Jingyao interrupted her precisely at the right moment: "Alright, a minute has already passed, don't reward him anymore."
Jiang Zhouzhou exclaimed in surprise, "Does time really fly by?"
Yin Yue hummed in agreement, his narrow phoenix eyes narrowing slightly, and said with lingering interest, "We don't have enough time this time, so we'll talk about the rest in private."
Jiang Zhouzhou understood his unspoken message and raised her hand to rub her slightly reddened earlobe.
Gu Nanfeng raised an eyebrow: "Continue."
