After the pointer spun around a few times, it slowly came to a stop, confirming the person to be punished in this round— Zhou Yang.
Xie Weishui didn't stop, and turned the dial again.
Soon, the Punisher also appeared.
--It was Xie Weishui who controlled the spinning wheel.
"Junior brother," Xie Weishui, gently placed his hand on Zhou Yang's shoulder, "Do you want to choose truth or dare?"
"I... I choose... truth." Zhou Yang's face was flushed, clearly showing signs of intoxication.
But Chi Li knew that this man's alcohol tolerance was far greater than that.
His face was flushed, but that was just from drinking.
"Then I won't be polite," Xie Weishui said cheerfully. "Do you have... a secret you most want to tell us?"
"I..." Zhou Yang glanced at Chi Li, then hurriedly looked away. "I... I... I'd better drink."
Zhou Yang reached for the wine glass on the table, but accidentally knocked it over.
"You're already drunk, maybe you shouldn't drink anymore?" Xie Weishui straightened his glass and patted his back considerately. "Do you really have some kind of secret you're trying to hide?"
"No... nothing to hide." Zhou Yang hiccuped and turned his gaze back to Chi Li.
Chi Li a half-smile, "Speak."
Zhou Yang panicked when Chi Li suddenly interrupted his performance.
He was going to have a few more words exchanged with Xie Weishui... but what were the rest of his lines?
What was it again?
"It's alright." Xie Weishui could tell at a glance that Zhou Yang, that useless fellow, had forgotten his lines, so she immediately accelerated the pace. "Just say it."
"I..." Zhou Yang took a deep breath, as if gathering his courage. "I used to date Chi Li!"
[????????]
[Everyone, I think I'm hallucinating.]
[Haha, Zhou Yang, come here. [Raises knife] What did you just say? Can you repeat it again?]
[Wow, no wonder he was able to secretly film his sleeping wife and even used her birthday as his phone password...]
[I thought they were trying to create a character who secretly loves someone, but it turns out it's actually a character who still has feelings for someone? [laughing and crying emoji]]
[I think I should take Chi Li to see an ophthalmologist. (A kind-hearted fan of Shen Qiang )]
[Oh, our poor wife, no one loved her before, and Zhou Yang got her.]
"Hiss..." Jiang Lele and Wei Xuan both made a sound in unison. "You dated Chi Li before?"
"Yes!" Zhou Yang's face was filled with pain. "In fact... we only broke up not long ago."
Jiang Lele quickly turned to look at Shen Qiang's expression.
Shen Qiang maintained a subtle smile as he looked at... Shen Xunye?
Shen Xunye's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Although Chi Li had already confessed this to him, hearing it again from another party involved still made him... very angry.
In particular, countless eyes are now watching this place.
"What?" Xie Weishui covered her mouth in surprise. "Then, why did you break up?"
"It's my fault," Zhou Yang said painfully, "Because... I wanted to be on the show, but he didn't want me to."
"Why?" Xie Weishui asked innocently. "Isn't going on TV a good thing?"
"He..." Zhou Yang glanced guiltily at Chi Li, gritted his teeth, and said, "He couldn't bear to be apart from me... He didn't want to only see me through a screen, so he broke up with me. I tried to persuade him to stay, but... it was no use."
"It sounds like you really don't want to part ways." Shen Qiang thoroughly enjoyed Shen Xunye's dark expression, feeling inexplicably pleased. "So, we're going to be on a TV show now?"
"But..." Zhou Yang kept glancing at Chi Li, seemingly wary of him suddenly speaking. "But, after he came here, his heart changed. I'm glad he came, but he's very cold towards me... he even says things that embarrass me in front of the camera. I think... if this can make up for it, then I can tolerate it."
"Oh my god, so touching." Shen Qiang nodded twice, then looked at Chi Li, who remained silent opposite him. "Aren't you going to say something, Little Chi Li?"
If we don't say something soon, that kid Shen Xunye is probably going to explode.
"Don't... don't let him say it." Zhou Yang sniffed. "... It's all my fault."
[My goodness, you know what, it's actually kind of sweet.]
[Pica, get out! Beautiful women have no obligation to date ugly men.]
[What the hell is this guy babbling about? I really want to slap him twice.]
Do you remember what Chi Li said after losing at mahjong? It was so honest of hers.
[My biggest regret—I liked a jerk! Now it seems Zhou Yang was that jerk!!!]
[↑I feel much better.]
"I'm waiting for him to finish speaking." Chi Li's expression remained unchanged. "No, I mean, for him to finish making it up."
Zhou Yang immediately reacted, "What did I make up? Isn't it true that we were dating?"
"Yes," Chi Li nodded in agreement.
"You..." Zhou Yang suddenly stammered.
He couldn't understand why Chi Li was so calm.
A newly popular idol is embroiled in a dating scandal. Even if it was a past relationship, it's still a pure scandal. Why doesn't he deny it or panic?
He should be begging me to stop talking now, shouldn't he?
"Anything else to say?" Chi Li asked patiently.
"Of course, yes!" Zhou Yang gritted his teeth. " Chi Li, I want to get back together with you. We were each other's first love, and I feel we shouldn't miss each other like this and leave with regrets."
Shen Xunye finally couldn't help but sneer, "What kind of pipe dream are you having?"
Zhou Yang straightened his back and retorted defiantly, "This is between him and me, it has nothing to do with you!"
He genuinely believed that Chi Li's greatest benefit would come from reconciling with him.
After all, they're a real couple! A real couple on this show would easily outshine all the fake couples!
He could already picture the intense, heated debate in the live chat.
"Heh." Chi Li chuckled softly, her gaze towards Zhou Yang tinged with pity. "Why tell such a blatant lie?"
Zhou Yang, his neck stiff, retorted, "Who's lying?"
Chi Li smiled and reminded him, "You forgot to pretend to be drunk."
[Wait, really? He looked like he was about to pass out from drunkenness just now.]
[He'd long forgotten about pretending to be drunk. [laughing and crying emoji] Who can still ramble on smoothly when they're almost drunk?]
[He's seeing how angry my wife is and wants to go back to her. There must be another reason they broke up!! Trust me!]
[Damn it, that cunning, wicked man.]
"W-what...?" Zhou Yang looked around in a panic. "I... I wasn't drunk at all."
"Actually, our breakup was fairly amicable, Zhou Yang." Chi Li leaned back in his chair. "If you hadn't harassed me later, I wouldn't have come to this show to slap you myself. You tell me..."
He gave a half-smile, "What if I've already blocked you, so I don't have any evidence of that harassment anymore?"
