Chapter 42: Sincere Confession

  Looking at Mu Lin Feng lying on the sofa, Liu Ya felt a little unbearable. Every time her father got drunk, she would make a pot of strong tea to help him sober up. So, Liu Ya also wanted to help Mu Lin Feng sober up and made a pot of strong tea, poured it into a glass cup, and handed it over to Mu Lin Feng.

  "Have a strong tea to sober up." Liu Ya carefully handed it to Mu Lin Feng and reminded, "Be careful, it's hot."

  "Thank you." Mulinfeng had just gone to the bathroom and wasn't feeling great. He gently patted his forehead with his hand, sat up slightly, took the cup with both hands, blew on it lightly, and took a small sip along the edge, "Wow! - This tea?" Mulinfeng made a very puzzled face.

  "What's wrong? Your face is so exaggerated that it can rival Mr. Bean!" Zi Qing, standing next to Mu Lin Feng, sarcastically praised him. Zi Qing sneakily glanced at Liu Ya and asked with a smile, "A Ya, what did you put in this tea...?" It turned out that Zi Qing thought A Ya was tricking Mu Lin Feng again.

  "Nothing!" Liu Ya said calmly, "except for tea leaves, there's nothing."

  "Then..." Zi Qing heard Liu Ya say that and inexplicably turned around to look at Mu Lin Feng's face.

  "It's scalding! Just scalding." Mulinfeng originally wanted to say that the tea was bitter like Huanglian, but he was afraid of being laughed at for not being able to take bitterness. He hastily pulled Zi Qing and changed his words to "very hot". Liu Ya glanced at Mulinfeng and turned back to the rest area.

  "Mu Lin Feng, you'll die from just a little scald?! Liu Jia Wei patted Mu Lin Feng's shoulder and teased, "You're screaming like it's the end of the world." Actually, Liu Jia Wei had been secretly paying attention to her since Liu Ya brought over the tea. When he heard Mu Lin Feng scream, his first reaction was that Liu Ya must have put something in Mu Lin Feng's tea. But when he saw Liu Ya's calm face - Ah Ya wasn't the kind of person who would take advantage of someone! When he found out Mu Lin Feng was just making a big deal over a little scald, Liu Jia Wei almost fell onto the sofa - Mu Lin Feng, can you be any more dramatic?!"

  "I'm really sorry, I've let you down." Mu Lin Feng put down the strong tea and gave Liu Jia Wei, Xiao Yu, and Li Jin a flirtatious glance. "To make it up to you, tonight I'll serve you in bed!"

  "Get out!" The three of them looked at Mu Lin Feng with disgust - this guy was up to his old tricks again!

  "Hehe, if it were usual times, I would definitely add some extra ingredients to the wooden forest tea." Liu Ya smiled faintly, "However, today when someone said they'd treat us to a big meal, I got excited and forgot to bring money on my way out."

  "Aya, you're so easily satisfied!" The eyes of the boys shone with sparkling light.

  "Foodie!" The beautiful sisters gave her this evaluation.

  "Contentment is happiness! Actually, my requirements are very simple." Liu Ya said casually to them, "As long as every meal has 39 dishes like today's lunch, that's fine."

  "Ugh!" The crowd jeered at Liu Ya, "Your request is really 'simple'! Do you want to come again with 10 more copies?"

  "Hehehe, whatever, whatever." Liu Yaluo said with a chuckle, "Just bring 10 or 20 portions, simple is fine, simple is fine." At this moment, a flock of small birds flying over the hotel suddenly fell straight down for no reason.

  "Aya, don't drink tea alone, come over, let's have some fun and get moving." Liu Jiawei and Xiao Yu walked over, each holding one of Liu Ya's hands and pulling her into the crowd.

  "What's going on? What's going on?" As soon as they heard there was an event, the seagulls who were deeply singing over there also gathered around. Actually, from the start of the singing to now, it had been two or three hours already, and they weren't microphone tyrants, almost losing their 'passion'.

  "Hey, why aren't you singing?" Liu Ya looked at the gathering of Lu Xuan, Hai Ou and Huang Ying and asked, "Isn't not singing a waste of Wei Shao's money?"

  "It doesn't matter if Wei is poor or rich. What's most important is playing with Aya, then the sisters won't be lonely!" Lu Xuan, Hai Ou and Huang Ying replied in unison.

  "What's wrong? I'm saying, don't be influenced by Mu Linfeng, okay? Lonely?" Liu Ya's gaze swept across the few of them and pointed at Liu Jiawei and others: "There are so many water brothers on this side, you're still 'lonely'? But Zi Qing sister is not lonely!"

  "Haven't you seen that we've all been abandoned?!" The three flower idiots looked at Liu Ya with pitiful eyes, and angrily glared at Zi Qing, "Only this 'traitor' is still continuing..."

  "Hey, this is the charm of being a decent person, okay?" Zi Qing said with a thick skin.

  "Pfft! You...!" The beautiful sisters chorused in unison, "Yes! When you're broke, your integrity is harder than granite!"

  "Pfft! Ah, ah, ah, let's not talk about 'dignity' anymore!" Liu Ya Le smiled gleefully as she looked at this group of so-called "abandoned" women who appeared pitiful on the surface but were actually incredibly strong-willed. Then, Liu Ya asked Zi Qing with great curiosity, "Spill the beans, Lei Zhengzi, why did they all withdraw, and you can still continue..."

  "Ah, someone's fate is entangled with peach blossoms..." Lu Xuan said with a giggle, looking at Mu Linfeng who had a black line on his face. "The two of them actually used rock-paper-scissors to decide whether to break up. Lei Zhengzi's three powerful wipes beautifully covered Lin Feng's stone. Heh, so..."

  "Cough, cough." Mu Lin Feng lightly cleared his throat and quickly changed the subject, saying: "Let's skip the gossip news and move on to the next activity segment. Aya, it's your turn now."

  "Am I setting the questions?" Liu Ya smiled and asked everyone, "Is there a limited type?"

  "No." Xiao Yu peeled a peanut and said, "If there's any weird activity, just bring it out and expose it to the sun."

  "What kind of weird activity can we have here?" Liu Ya glanced at the things on the table, "Then, guess the toothpick?"

  "What's your guess?" The crowd looked at each other and finally cast their eyes on Liu Ya.

  "It's very simple." Liu Ya said while picking up the toothpicks on the table, counting out a number consistent with the number of people present. Then, facing them, she said: "Guess the number of toothpicks, one person holds n toothpicks in their hand, this n is less than or equal to the number of people at the table, or there may be none. Then ask everyone to guess the number of toothpicks in his hand. Each person's guess must be different, okay? Whoever guesses correctly gets to drink, dance, or choose to sing. If no one guesses correctly, for example, if he has no toothpicks and everyone else has guessed a number, the person holding the toothpicks drinks, dances, or chooses to sing, got it?"

  "I understand." "Understood." Everyone chimed in unison.

  "Eh, can I add a punishment method?" Xiao Yu looked at everyone and said, "Add one, guess the truth or dare how about it? That is, the person who guesses the number correctly can choose to tell the truth to someone present. If the recipient feels that this true statement can resonate with them, then it's a success and they don't have to drink; otherwise, the person who confessed fails and drinks a cup."

  "Hey, that's great." Mu Lin Feng gave Xiao Yu a thumbs up and then said to him, "If A Ya loses later, you guys remember to let her 'confess' to me."

  "Pffft, you can wait and see. And yeah." Liu Ya smiled as she looked at this group of adorable brothers and sisters and said, "Declaration in advance: If I lose, I can only drink a beverage."

  "Why?" Mu Lin Feng was thinking of how to get others to join forces with him to prank Liu Ya, but before he even started, the other person announced that they wouldn't be drinking. What's the fun in not drinking?

  "My stomach is cold and I can't drink alcohol." Liu Ya told him honestly.

  "Is your stomach that delicate?" Mu Lin Feng said with a skeptical attitude, picking up the wine bottle and pouring a cup to hand over to Liu Ya, saying: "You drink a cup first and let us see if it's true."

  "I said, I won't drink." Liu Ya smiled and glanced at Mu Lin Feng. Then, looking around the crowd sitting around the table, she asked: "Are you ready?" The current order starts with Liu Ya, from left to right is: Zi Qing, Mu Lin Feng, Hai Ou, Xiao Yu, Huang Ying, Lu Xuan, Li Jin Yi, Liu Jia Wei and finally Liu Fang who was sitting next to Liu Ya.

  "Aya, I think you're just boasting, try drinking a cup for us to see." Li Jin looked at Liu Ya with a smile, "If it really hurts, we won't persuade you to have a second cup." In his heart, he thought, this girl is probably making excuses.

  "Do you really want to drink?" Liu Ya still had a faint smile on her face. "Let's talk about it after I lose. Do we continue playing or not?"

  "Alright, we've got it! Let's start the game!" Xiao Yu, Li Jin Yi and Mu Lin Feng exchanged a glance, their faces full of slyness as they looked at Liu Ya. Liu Jia Wei stood beside them with a smile on his face, quietly watching Liu Ya. Liu Ya glanced at Xiao Yu and the others, humming, thinking that little trick would go unnoticed by me?

  Round one, Liu Ya was the banker. Liu Ya casually grabbed a handful of toothpicks from the ones she had just counted out, her hands slightly covering them, and counted: 8. "With me as the starting point, Fang Fang as the end point, from left to right, let's start guessing." Liu Ya announced with a smile.

  "1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 4, 9, 7, 8..." "Stop!" Liu Ya slowly opened her palm, "Congratulations to Liu Jiawei! Please choose a punishment method."

  "I choose Truth." Liu Jiawei smiled and looked at Liu Fang, then at Liu Ya.

  Two Liu families have been acquainted since Liu Fang's great-grandfather and frequently cooperate in business. As the future successor of Mincheng Group, Liu Jiawei often visits Liu Fang's home with his parents. Liu Fang has secretly loved Liu Jiawei since childhood, and when she sees him looking at her, she blushes unknowingly, her heart racing like a hidden deer, thinking: "What kind of heartfelt words will Jiawei say to me? Actually, no matter what situation he is in or how he says it, I will love it." Meanwhile, Liu Ya looks at Jiawei first, then at Fang, and her heart becomes anxious: What is this guy going to do? His shameless face!

  "Hmm." Liu Jiawei cleared his throat, suppressed a smile, and put on a very serious face. He slowly picked up the microphone from the table, using the private room's sound system to speak to Liu Ya: "Ya, I like you! Can you like me too?"

  Ah! Liu Ya was stunned in an instant - this guy, indeed has no lower limit of shamelessness! However, it seems that something is not quite right, her heart is beating fast. In Liu Ya's mind, the "good deed" that Liu Jia Wei did to her in the black cave under Tiger Wolf Cliff slowly floated up... (a faint blush slowly spread across her face). Liu Fang was also stunned, but his face instantly turned white, as if he heard the sound of his own heart shattering - why? Is it Ah Ya?

  Fortunately, the lighting in the private room was not very bright, so they only saw that the sisters were stunned! Moreover, they unanimously believed that Liu Jia-wei was confessing to Liu Ya. In fact, only Liu Jia-wei himself knew that when he chose to confess to Liu Ya in this way, his heart had never beaten so fast before, and he knew that he was really moved. Regardless of whether she admitted it or not, he wanted her to know - Liu Jia-wei liked Liu Ya!

  "Did you feel a resonance?!" Zi Qing waved her hand in front of Liu Ya's eyes in the bunker.

  "How is that possible!" Liu Ya heard Zi Qing's words, a spark in her mind, returned to reality, looked at her sister who was stunned beside her, and felt a sharp pain in her heart: Fang Fang really liked Jia Wei. "I don't like Liu Jia Wei's type of loser man. Liu Jia Wei's mission failed. Reward wine."

  "I believe what Ah Ya said!" Xiao Yu immediately supported her after seeing Liu Ya's denial. Thinking back to the time in that cave at the foot of Tiger Wolf Mountain, Ah Ya had pinned me down, how could she possibly like Liu Jia Wei?! "Drink up, drink up." As he spoke, he poured a full glass for Liu Jia Wei.

  Liu Jia-wei was delighted, as if he had won a bet, and picked up his wine glass to drink it all in one gulp. In fact, Liu Jia-wei had been observing Liu Ya's expression changes all along, and he could confirm that she must have him in her heart. Otherwise, how could she not have refused when he kissed her in the cave back then? At that time, it was too sudden, and she hadn't reacted yet. If Liu Ya knew what someone was thinking in his heart, she would probably bite off his lips at that moment and flush them down the toilet!

  Next, some guessed singing songs, some chose dancing, and some chose drinking. Only Fangfang was in a bad state all the time. Finally guessed it once.

  "Fang Fang, choose a punishment method." Liu Ya smiled at her sister.

  "Let's drink." Liu Fang took a glance at Liu Jiawei, then looked at Liu Ya, picked up the whole bottle of beer and started drinking.

  "Alright, alright, stop drinking." Liu Ya saw Liu Fang blowing the bottle and hastily reached out to stop her.

  "It's nothing! I can still hold my liquor!" Liu Fang irritably shook off Liu Ya's hand and continued to blow the bottle.

  "That's enough, just have a symbolic drink." Liu Jiawei also came out to stop him, he too saw Liu Fang's state.

  "What's wrong? You two are ganging up on me?" Liu Fang angrily asked, "If you don't look down on me, let me drink." In the end, she drank that bottle of wine dry. "Hiccup... I've finished drinking, why not give some applause?" Liu Fang said to everyone with a burp.

  "Good!" Mu Lin Feng saw Liu Fang finish a whole bottle and led the applause.

  "Fang Fang, are you okay?" Liu Jiawei asked with concern.

  "It's nothing!" Liu Fang looked at Liu Jiawei with concern, suddenly feeling very wronged, and forced herself to calm down, saying: "My drinking capacity, you all know it."

  "Know, two bottles down." Li Jin added seamlessly. Liu Fang and Liu Ya gave Li Jin a white eye at the same time, and Li Jin pretended to be terrified. Everyone laughed it off. Like this, they played for half an hour, as long as Liu Fang guessed correctly, she would blow the bottle, even if others guessed correctly, she would still drink a cup with them. Liu Ya's attempt to persuade her to stop drinking was ineffective, and Liu Fang was about to collapse.

  "Let's change the game." Liu Ya found that if they continued like this, Fang Fang would definitely fall down. "Okay!" Liu Ya's proposal was approved by everyone. Later, they played several games such as opening fire trucks, stick tiger chicken, and comparing watermelons. And there was one more important thing: They discovered that Liu Fang drank particularly well at night, almost finishing a whole box? She was almost blowing bottles, and it turned out that she really did have a good capacity for liquor! While Liu Ya didn't even touch a drop of wine, being a very principled little girl.

  "007 game mode." Liu Ya switched to another game and continued to announce the rules: "Starting with one person making a 'zero' sound, they randomly point to someone, who immediately makes a 'zero' sound again and points to another person. The third person then makes a 'seven' sound, and simultaneously uses their hand to mimic shooting while pointing to someone. The 'hit' person does not make any sound or movement, but the two people on either side of the 'hit' person must make an 'ah' sound and raise their hands in surrender. Those who make mistakes drink!" Liu Ya paused for a moment, looking at Liu Fang, "Fang and I will take a break first, you guys go ahead and play."

  "What's wrong? Little sister, do you think your sister is really like Jin Yi said 'two bottles down'? Liu Fang swung open Liu Ya's hand again and loudly scolded her: "What are you doing today?! When we come out to play, we should have fun! If you want to rest, go rest yourself! Don't disturb everyone's fun! Can't you see how happy we're playing?!" Liu Ya looked at Liu Fang speechlessly.

  The tone made the atmosphere of the entire scene solidify for a long time...

  "Don't drink anymore, Fangfang." "Yes, don't drink anymore." "Fangfang, take a rest." "Yes, yes."

  "I'm fine! I really am." Liu Fang's face was flushed from the alcohol, and she patted Liu Ya's shoulder gently, saying, "I can usually drink two boxes without falling over. Just now, you didn't let me finish, and my mood was terrible. Don't be angry, okay?"

  "How could I be angry?" Liu Ya squeezed out a smile, "Then you play again, don't drink too much." Liu Ya said to her brothers and sisters: "You guys keep playing, I'll go out for some fresh air." Then, she walked straight towards the door.

  Standing on the 22nd floor's public open-air balcony, Liu Ya leaned against the railing with both hands, facing the sunset that was slowly falling while hiding its dazzling light. She felt a mix of emotions in her heart. When she thought about Liu Jia-wei's confession, a thread of happiness rose up; when she thought about her sister Liu Fang secretly loving Liu Jia-wei, a pang of pain struck her heart. Sometimes, feelings are like playing games, from pretending to be real. On one side was her sister, on the other was the person she liked in her heart, if she had to make a choice?

  "Family ties!" Liu Ya firmly spat out two words, "Nothing is more important than family ties! No matter who the other person is, as long as it's someone Fangfang likes, I'm willing to step down! Anyway, I'm not even sure if I like him now, might as well just run away!"

  Having made this decision, Liu Ya felt a weight lift off her shoulders. Then, with a very cheerful tone, she smiled slightly at the setting sun and said: "Hey - Mr. Sun, hello!"

  The setting sun couldn't help but be charmed by her, and with a 'thud' sound, it fell down the mountain.

  The whole city of Luzhou quietly changed into neon clothes, so beautiful!...

  Digression

  Liu Ya: Waaah, I finally waited for the male lead's confession, but Chou Chen Yue actually forced me to let him go. I despise her, waaah...

  "Hey, hey, hey, aren't there many more around you?"

  Liu Ya: (starstruck) They all like me! (suddenly, disdainful tone) Aren't those already given to Hai Ou, Huang Ying, Lu Xuan and Zi Qing? Are you going to force me away again?

  Lunar month: Well, this... (cautiously) let's see how the plot develops... (whoosh--) I'll leave first...

  Liu Ya: Despicable! I despise you!

  It's so scary, I'm so afraid... If you think it looks great! Then please recommend the URL of this site to your friends and let's take a look together!
