The lights in Haidilao were bright and the place was crowded, so the four of them found a table and sat down.
Jiang Linyuan and Yu Songsong sat side by side, with Lin Yilin and Zhang Juntang opposite them.
"Do you guys eat spicy food? What kind of soup base do you want?"
Jiang Linyuan looked at the three girls and asked.
"I can't handle spice."
Yu Songsong answered quickly, then turned her head to look at Lin Yilin and Zhang Juntang:
"You guys are the same, right?"
Lin Yilin was dazed, not sure what she was thinking about, and just said:
"Anything is fine."
Jiang Linyuan glanced at her, feeling quite helpless:
"Then let's get a Xiao Yilin-flavored soup base."
Lin Yilin snapped back to reality, glared at him, gave him a light kick under the table, and then said:
"I don't eat spicy food."
Zhang Juntang said weakly:
"I don't either."
No one ate spicy food, which was great.
The group placed their order online, and since they were a bit bored while waiting for the food, Jiang Linyuan suggested:
"How about we play a little game?"
"Sure."
Yu Songsong's eyes lit up, and she nodded eagerly.
"What should we play?"
Lin Yilin asked.
"Truth or Dare, maybe."
Jiang Linyuan thought for a moment and said.
"How about we create a group chat, and roll dice in the group to see who goes first?"
Jiang Linyuan took out his phone and asked the three girls.
No one refused, and a group chat was established shortly after.
[Binary and Magic Stone] rolled a four.
[Juntang] rolled a five.
[Young Jiang] rolled a two.
[Songbai] rolled a three.
A bad start.
Jiang Linyuan looked at his two points and had no choice but to accept his fate:
"...I choose Truth."
The person with the highest roll this round was Zhang Juntang, so it was her turn to ask.
She looked a bit startled, glancing around as if she had a guilty conscience:
"Me... me?"
"Yes, you can ask anything, whatever you want."
Looking at Zhang Juntang, who looked like a pushover, Jiang Linyuan said magnanimously.
Zhang Juntang stared at Jiang Linyuan for a while, then asked in a small voice:
"Do you dislike me?"
What kind of question was that?
The question asked by this little coward was just as cowardly!
Am I just a fragile internet emperor?
"I don't dislike you."
Jiang Linyuan said crisply and clearly.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Juntang's eyes narrowed into slits, and she revealed an expression of satisfaction like a lazy orange cat basking in the afternoon sun.
So cute, I want to pet her.
Yu Songsong and Lin Yilin were both very dissatisfied with this question; who asks something like that during Truth or Dare?
"Alright, next round!"
Jiang Linyuan waved his hand, pushing the process forward.
The second round began quickly.
[Young Jiang] rolled a six.
[Songbai] rolled a two.
[Binary and Magic Stone] rolled a two.
[Juntang] rolled a three.
Good luck is here~! Two for the price of one!
Jiang Linyuan laughed:
"Truth or dare?"
"Truth."
Yu Songsong replied with a smile.
Lin Yilin didn't know what she was thinking, but her face turned red as she glanced at Jiang Linyuan:
"Tr... Truth."
Wait, Binary Sister, what kind of reaction is that?
This little pervert must be thinking something crooked!
It's not like you'll get pregnant just by looking at me! I'll start with you first!
"Little Yilin, what is your ideal type of boyfriend?"
Jiang Linyuan asked with a smile.
Lin Yilin didn't dare to look at him, stammering:
"I'm not sure. I've never been in a relationship, and I haven't really thought about that kind of thing..."
Poor little virgin, she doesn't even have the right to fantasize about love.
Jiang Linyuan looked at Lin Yilin with a hint of pity:
"Little Yilin, if a woman stays single until she's thirty, she'll become a golden leftover fighter. You need to work hard."
"No way! Senior, don't curse me!"
Lin Yilin puffed up her cheeks:
"If I'm really still single by the time I'm thirty, I'll definitely come to find trouble with you, Senior!"
If you can't find the book title, try searching for the author; maybe it just changed its name!
"What does that mean, Little Yilin? Are you asking me to take responsibility for you? I'm sorry, Junior, although we have a good relationship, this is moving too fast. I'm sorry, you're a good person."
Jiang Linyuan performed a high-speed chant, quickly handing Lin Yilin a "good person" card.
Yu Songsong, on the side, burst into laughter:
"Alright, shouldn't you ask me too, Senior?"
Hearing her speak, Lin Yilin stopped bickering with Jiang Linyuan and pricked up her ears, wanting to hear what question Jiang Linyuan would ask.
Jiang Linyuan turned his head to look at Yu Songsong:
"My question is the same. What is your ideal type, Junior?"
Yu Songsong thought for a moment and said seriously:
"Interesting, he must be interesting! Also, his personality shouldn't be too soft; being a bit tough is best. And finally, I hope he isn't the type of person who is full of righteousness."
Lin Yilin felt panicked upon hearing this.
Is Senior interesting? Although his words are a bit snarky, he definitely knows how to make girls laugh.
As for being soft, Jiang Linyuan's aggression was never weak.
But hearing the last point, she felt a bit relieved.
After all, Senior Jiang is considered a decent person, right?
She glanced at the grinning Jiang Linyuan and remembered how he would pinch her hand from time to time, blushing slightly.
He should be.
"Not the type full of righteousness?"
Jiang Linyuan was a bit curious:
"Can you elaborate? Of course, you don't have to answer if you don't want to."
Yu Songsong didn't mind at all and said:
"Simply put, I hope he favors emotion over reason. Even if I make a mistake, I hope he will stand on my side."
Hearing this, Jiang Linyuan pondered that it probably had something to do with Yu Songsong being caught cheating in high school.
The pressure in the third year of high school was so great, and during that sensitive and impulsive adolescent period, being caught cheating meant the whole school knew there was such a person.
If it were someone else, they'd probably pull a stunt at school the next day and become the legendary flying man talked about by future juniors.
I have to say, Yu Songsong's ability to handle psychological pressure is truly strong.
"Haha, I'd like to meet the kind of person the junior sister is talking about, too."
As Jiang Linyuan spoke, the smiling face of Su Muzhi floated into his mind involuntarily, giving him such a start that he shuddered.
Scared the hell out of me!
It's true, little Su is quite loyal.
If you told her you wanted to evacuate a million people from the Louvre, she'd pat her chest and say, "I'll get you Unit-01."
But talk about dating her?
Life isn't that miserable; if things aren't going well, you can just go to the national highway and cosplay as a bush, then jump out to scare a truck driver.
That's the way to go!
Yu Songsong looked at Jiang Linyuan's lingering fear with a strange expression, not knowing what he was thinking, and said:
"Let's continue, let's continue."
A new round began.
[Young Jiang] rolled a one.
The highest roll belonged to Yu Songsong.
"Senior's luck isn't very good, is it?"
Yu Songsong asked with a smile:
"Truth or dare?"
"Truth, I suppose."
Jiang Linyuan said.
A straight body doesn't fear a crooked shadow!
Everything I, Jiang Linyuan, do, I only ask that I have no regrets toward myself.
Reject self-guilt, advocate internalizing the struggle in others.
"Then... how many times has Senior Jiang been in love?"
Yu Songsong drew out the sound of her voice and asked with a smile.
Lin Yilin's eyes widened, and she turned her head to look at Jiang Linyuan.
Zhang Juntang also snuck a peek over.
"0.5 times, I guess."
Jiang Linyuan said reluctantly.
"What do you mean by 0.5 times!"
Lin Yilin was very dissatisfied with this answer.
"Because in this relationship, I agreed, but she didn't, so it was an imperfect romance."
Jiang Linyuan looked wistful.
"That's clearly just a crush! You were probably rejected!"
Lin Yilin shouted, pouting.
This Binary Sister! Fine, fine! Let you be arrogant for a while; when no one is around, just wait and see how I deal with you!
"Senior has a crush on someone? Who is it? Is it convenient to say?"
Yu Songsong caught the key point and asked.
Jiang Linyuan looked into her eyes, smiled slightly, and leaned in a little closer:
"Junior sister, why don't you take a guess?"
Yu Songsong looked into those eyes that seemed filled with affection and instinctively dodged, saying:
"How would I know? Senior knows so many people, and I don't."
"It's someone you know, junior sister."
Jiang Linyuan lied without changing his expression.
Anyway, this was already outside the scope of the truth question.
But Yu Songsong didn't think so; she thought it was still part of the truth game, and her heart skipped a beat.
Could it be me?
Lin Yilin's heart also skipped a beat.
Could it be me?
She kept her head down, but out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Zhang Juntang was also looking down, her face flushed red.
There are other experts here?
Looking at the reactions of the three, Jiang Linyuan couldn't hold it together anymore.
Damn it, I'm surrounded by "downer" girls!
