"Oh, that?" Chi Li smiled speechlessly. "I dated him."
"Well..." Fang Jin had guessed it, but she hadn't expected it to be true.
"It's okay, let him say what he wants to say."
Even if it's a dark past, Chi Li doesn't think it's something that needs to be carefully hidden.
Fang Jin hadn't expected Chi Li to be so decisive. "But... telling you will definitely have some negative effects on you."
"It's nothing, but thank you for reminding me anyway." Chi Li smiled Fang Jin. "Let's go, I still have some help to do."
With that, he walked out first.
When he agreed to Zhou Yang's proposal, he never intended to hide it.
The person he wanted to keep it from was Zhou Yang. He said he was afraid of being gossiped about and that his career would be affected if his fans found out.
Now that they've broken up, they want to make it public... It's really quite laughable.
A few minutes later, Fang Jin returned to the table with Chi Li, carrying a plate of mixed vegetable salad.
"You specifically asked him to make a vegetable salad?" Wei Xuan immediately picked up a piece of his chopsticks and put it in his bowl. "Then I have to try this vegetable salad to see if it's absolutely delicious."
Fang Jin said somewhat awkwardly, "Um... I've been trying to control my weight lately, and I was worried about falling behind your conversations if I stayed away for too long, so I asked him to help me with it."
Xie Weishui's lips curled into a mocking smile. "If that's the case, why bother calling him at all?"
[What's currently playing is the long-running TV series "The Resentful Woman".]
[ Shuishui, you're still thinking about him, aren't you? [crying] You're asking him why he doesn't call you, right?]
[I must say, the two of them have a certain charm after their breakup.]
[↑Your taste is quite unique!]
"I mentioned last time that I would teach him how to cook, so I asked him to do it as well," Fang Jin explained.
Xie Weishui nodded gently, "Okay."
Soon, the meal was coming to an end.
Fearing that they might miss an opportunity, Xie Weishui took the wine bottle and refilled everyone's glasses.
Back in his seat, he suggested, "We're almost finished eating, how about we play some games?"
When new guests have their first meal with the veteran members, they usually play some icebreaker games, so this suggestion isn't out of place.
"Okay, what games?" Shen Qiang, who rarely participates in variety show recordings, was quite interested.
"Let's keep it simple, Truth or Dare." Xie Weishui didn't give anyone else a chance to nominate a game. "There's a small wheel here. It spins twice every round. The first person's name to be landed on is the one who gets punished, and the second person is the one who gets punished. If you want to skip the punishment, you need to drink a glass of wine."
This is one of the classic games that has appeared most frequently in the Raising House" genre.
The audience mostly enjoys seeing the members make fools of themselves and hearing some "truths".
"Okay." Shen Qiang nodded first. "This one will do."
Jiang Lele raised her hand and asked, "What if you get switched to the same person twice in a row?"
"It's very simple," Xie Weishui replied with a smile, "Then just spin it again."
"If you're going to play, play big." Chi Li met Xie Weishui's gaze across the entire table and slowly said, "Spinning the ball on the same person repeatedly proves he has some luck. People like that should be punished by everyone."
Shen Qiang chuckled, "Aren't you afraid that person might be you?"
"Hmm..." Chi Li said nonchalantly, "That's just the blessing of the god of variety shows."
"I agree." Shen Xunye immediately stated his position.
"... I agree too." Although she didn't know what Chi Li was thinking, Fang Jin also expressed her support.
Jiang Lele naturally supported her future sister-in-law. "I agree too! Let's go for the big prize!"
Shen Qiang chuckled. "Alright, let's play it this way."
Fortunately, the god of variety shows didn't strike anyone in the first round.
" Jiang Lele, will you choose truth or dare?" Wei Xuan, whose name was next, looked at the person opposite him with a mischievous grin.
Feeling confident that she had nothing to hide, Jiang Lele said decisively, "The truth."
Besides, dares and such games are too easy to embarrass oneself with. He doesn't want to embarrass himself in front of his idol.
"Okay." Wei Xuan's eyes darted around, and he immediately asked, "When was your first kiss? Don't tell me it was from when you were little, from your parents."
Jiang Lele, with a stiff face, replied curtly, "In the future."
"Hahaha, you still have your first kiss?" Wei Xuan immediately burst into laughter.
"So what?" Jiang Lele curled her lip and said dismissively, "It'll happen eventually anyway."
Shen Qiang smiled and comforted his fans, "That's right, even if you don't date, you still have to give away your first kiss while filming."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xunye immediately pictured Chi Li filming a kissing scene with someone else.
A surge of anger arose out of nowhere, but he had nowhere to vent it, so he could only glare fiercely at Shen Qiang again.
Although he didn't know why, Shen Qiang had gotten used to it today and didn't take it to heart.
The results of the second round of the roulette wheel were quickly generated.
"Teacher Shen." Fang Jin nodded to Shen Qiang across the table as a greeting. "Would you like to choose Truth or Dare?"
Fang Jin of few words, and Shen Qiang had almost no impression of him.
"I'll choose truth too." He preferred playing it safe until he knew what kind of dare would appear at the table. "Ask whatever you want."
Fang Jin wasn't good at creating a dramatic effect, so she asked politely, "What do you think is your most childish little habit?"
A person may have many habits, but few can be described as childish.
"Let me think." Shen Qiang rested his chin on his hands in thought, "... Does brushing my teeth with my eyes closed count?"
"Why?" Jiang Lele reacted immediately. "Does brushing with your hands closed get your teeth cleaner? Or is there some unique brushing technique?"
"No, that's not it." Shen Qiang couldn't help but laugh. "It's a habit I picked up after filming, probably so I could sleep a little longer? I actually fell asleep once and almost tripped and hit my head."
"Filming must be very tiring, right?" Jiang Lele pouted, feeling a little sorry for her.
"Actually, it's not that hard; it's something I enjoy." Shen Qiang never complains in front of the camera.
If he complains, he'll probably be summoned back to inherit the family business.
His family initially opposed his entry into the entertainment industry, and Shen Yu, who owned an entertainment company, refused to provide any assistance, forcing him to squeeze money from his friends to fund his first film.
Fortunately, he managed to break through.
Jiang Lele looked at him with admiration again.
"Alright, alright, since this answer is acceptable, let's move on to the next round." Shen Qiang waved his hand.
Xie Weishui received the signal and began to turn the dial.
Chi Li noticed that he seemed to be making some small movements behind the turntable.
Yes, we've already laid the groundwork with two rounds of games; it's time for the real action.
