“I just want you to eat more.”
“After all, who cares if you're thin or fat, eating and drinking well is the most important thing.”
Screech.
Screech...
The sound of iron scraping against marble, a crisp, teeth-grating sound that lingered in the air, echoing endlessly in his ears.
Realizing his blunder, Su Bai quickly backpedaled, trying to salvage his previous statement.
But clearly.
Sun Le Yan, clutching her fork, her hand poised to embed the fork deep into the marble table, didn't seem too receptive to his backtracking.
“Uh...”
Su Bai sat up straighter, shifting in his seat.
“You know why Nüwa smiled as she sculpted humans from clay?”
Sun Le Yan remained silent.
But a flicker of curiosity sparked in her beautiful eyes, ignited by a hint of annoyance.
Su Bai continued:
“Because being human, the most important thing is to be happy!”
These words fell.
Even though Sun Le Yan's face remained expressionless, her shoulders visibly quivered.
“You clearly want to laugh, why are you holding back?”
Su Bai directly pierced through her facade, “Nüwa even wants you to be happy, and you're not happy?”
“I wish Nüwa had sculpted you into a bitter melon face when she made you, that way you wouldn't have to worry about laughing or not.”
Sun Le Yan couldn't hold back anymore. She wanted to laugh, but at the same time, she retorted fiercely.
“Sculpt you into a bitter melon face!”
“No, she shouldn't have given you a mouth, to save you from talking nonsense!”
Su Bai grinned.
“Well, I guess Nüwa just couldn't resist making me a mouth because I'm too handsome.”
“You're such a show-off!”
“Make me breakfast tomorrow.”
Sun Le Yan, thoroughly disarmed by Su Bai's words, had completely forgotten about her desire to diet.
She picked up her fork and began to devour the food with gusto.
And, of course, she couldn't resist seizing the opportunity.
“????”
“You want me to make it for you?”
“You’re really obsessed with my cooking, aren't you?”
She listened to Su Bai's objections.
Sun Le Yan took a bite of meat, her expression full of smugness, and stated matter-of-factly:
“Yes, you made me mad, so you're making breakfast tomorrow!”
“.......”
One second, she was giggling! The next, she wasn't!
But Su Bai didn't take her request too seriously.
After all, making breakfast in the morning had become a routine for him, it was just a matter of adding an extra pair of chopsticks and another person.
“Excuse me, I'm here to serve the desserts.”
They had eaten about three-quarters of their meal.
On the cruise ship, the waiter who had just served the main course appeared again, carrying the desserts sponsored by the program.
He randomly placed a dessert in front of each person.
Before anyone could start eating.
Their phones simultaneously buzzed.
Ding dong…!
【Post-Meal Heart-Throb Mini-Game: Please check the bottom of your dessert cup, and play an interactive mini-game!】
The bottom of the cup?
Everyone glanced at the text message from the program team.
They lifted their Oreo desserts and found a circular card hidden underneath.
“What’s this…?”
“This looks like Truth or Dare.”
“Each person’s question seems different.”
Looking at the cards in their hands, everyone couldn't help but chatter amongst themselves.
Su Bai glanced at the card, his brow slightly furrowed.
He hadn't expected the program team to pull this trick.
“What’s yours?”
He naturally wanted to ask Sun Le Yan.
But he didn't hear a response. Turning his head, he saw that Sun Le Yan was staring at the card, her face flushed, as if the content on the card.
Made her feel a little embarrassed!
“Oh?”
Now Su Bai was intrigued.
He was even more curious to see what it was.
Unexpectedly, Sun Le Yan slapped the card shut, denying Su Bai the chance to see it.
“Why, you're not letting me see.”
“Right! I'm not!”
Sun Le Yan shook her head stubbornly.
“Then… do you want to switch? If it’s too extreme, we shouldn’t do it.”
Su Bai pondered for a moment and shared his thoughts.
Sun Le Yan hesitated, biting her red lips, as if making a decision, or perhaps anticipating the challenge ahead.
She shook her head again.
“No switch.”
“Tsk.”
Su Bai stared at Sun Le Yan curiously, bewildered by her blush and refusal.
What kind of question was this?
But since she chose not to switch, it meant she could accept it.
Oh well.
He would find out soon enough.
At the same time, while the two of them were whispering, the others had already spontaneously lined up, ready to start the game.
The first person, sitting on the edge, was Mi Die.
The question on his card was read aloud by Ruan Xiao Mi.
It was: What color are you most attracted to at tonight’s gathering?
Everyone was curiously watching.
This question, if answered directly, would be obvious and definitely suggestive.
Each of the girls was wearing a different color dress or gown.
Whatever he said, it would be clear who he was attracted to.
“Um… I… I prefer light colors!”
Mi Die hesitated for a moment, glancing at Ruan Xiao Mi beside him, before answering.
Now everyone understood his target.
Next up.
Ruan Xiao Mi herself.
“Did you receive a heart-fluttering text message yesterday? How did you feel?”
Compared to the previous question, this one wasn't as obvious.
But you could still sense her feelings about the text messages. Zhao Mu Chen and Mi Die, who had sent messages to Ruan Xiao Mi last night, couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation.
“I did receive one.”
“I felt… I couldn't guess who sent it.”
Ruan Xiao Mi smiled and gave a neutral answer.
Zhao Mu Chen couldn’t help but chime in.
He also revealed a bit of his feelings.
Then it was Zhao Mu Chen’s turn, he randomly chose someone to ask about his impression of them.
Naturally, he chose Ruan Xiao Mi.
Ruan Xiao Mi gave a neutral answer once again.
Next was TOMO, he also had a question, but he didn’t randomly choose.
Instead, the person sitting next to him would answer.
The person sitting next to him was Weng Qing Ya.
He asked about his expectations of his heart-fluttering person.
Weng Qing Ya replied with a humorous, witty statement, leaving it ambiguous whether it was a hint or simply a reflection of his ideal partner.
“Control your mouth from now on!”
However, Sun Le Yan, upon hearing Weng Qing Ya's answer, was the first to lose her composure.
She quietly warned Su Bai, her voice laced with a hint of vigilance.
The meaning was clear.
Su Bai was utterly helpless. What was this?
He had only exchanged a single sentence with Weng Qing Ya.
After Weng Qing Ya’s card, she had to replicate, which meant picking another guest’s card task and answering the question.
She copied TOMO’s question and asked TOMO a lighthearted question.
Gradually.
Everyone at the banquet had finished their tasks except for Su Bai and Sun Le Yan.
What was meant to come, would come.
Now, not only were the guests in the room eagerly anticipating, but the viewers in the live chat were also extremely excited.
They were practically ready to pry open their hands and see what their questions were.
——It’s coming! It’s coming! The part I’ve been waiting for!
——I hope they directly up the ante, these two have been so comfortable around each other, if the program team is smart, they’ll directly make it a kiss challenge! Guaranteed to explode with views.
——Haha, not that, but I think it would be good to have them say, “I like you” to each other!
——Whatever the challenge is, these two will definitely deliver!
——Hurry! Hurry, flip it open!
Amidst the viewers' calls.
The first person was Sun Le Yan.
She felt a surge of pressure, the gazes of everyone around her making her heart beat faster.
Actually, her question wasn’t too difficult.
The key was, if she took it seriously, let alone in their current relationship with Su Bai.
It would seem rather suggestive and make things awkward.
But she didn't know what came over her, she was particularly looking forward to this task, especially the last part of the task.
Because the task was…
She slowly lifted the card and turned it over, revealing the question.
“Choose a guest, make eye contact with them without breaking for thirty seconds.”
“And when the eye contact is over, ask them: Am I pretty, or are my eyes pretty?”
