Endless Fall-Chapter 42 - Not Only in the Past

Lin Jiao was puzzled. “Really?” She pointed the knife and fork at the cherry foie gras that the waiter had just brought over. “Why didn’t I know?”

“Yes, but you just didn’t notice it.”

“You did?”

“If you didn’t notice it, how could he notice it?” Shen Yi was afraid that Zhou Yanshen would say something he shouldn’t, so he quickly interrupted.

“That’s right.” Chu Yuzhou agreed.

He glanced at someone and raised his glass to toast Zhou Yanshen to prevent him from bringing the topic up again. “I wish you and Du Wei a happy life!”

Du Wei clinked glasses with him. “Thank you.”

The atmosphere at the dining table was very lively.

They chatted until the sun set. After the heat wave that filled the air dissipated with the wind, they went to the open-air garden to have a drink.

“Do you want to play games?” Chu Yuzhou rubbed the wine bottle, wanting to help Pei Zhi.

“Playing what?”

“Truth or dare. How about that?”

“Sure.” Shen Yi saw through him and asked cooperatively, “Is there a limit to what we can do?”

“Do as you deem fit.”

“Then let’s get started.”

“I’ll go first.” Zhou Yanshen wiped the water off the bottle with a tissue and spun it gently on the table.

Everyone looked at the wine bottle and watched as it slowed down.

In the end… it was pointed at Chu Yuzhou.

“I’ll choose Truth.” He was afraid of being asked to do something unacceptable by Zhou Yanshen, so he decided to choose Truth.

“I’m not interested in your honest words.”

“I don’t care what you are interested in. I’m going for Truth.”

Seeing that he was determined not to choose Dare, Zhou Yanshen gave the opportunity of asking a question to Du Wei. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

However, Du Wei only asked questions like “how many girlfriends have you been with?”

“It’s my turn.” Chu Yuzhou rubbed his hands and spun the wine bottle.

Perhaps the wine bottle knew what he was up to, it stopped moving after pointing at Lin Jiao.

“I choose Dare.” Lin Jiao was different from him. She liked challenges.

“Are you serious?”

“Of course.”

At first, Chu Yuzhou wanted to take it slow, but he didn’t expect her to be so bold. He was stunned. “Wait, let me think.”

“I’ll give you ten seconds.” Zhou Yanshen raised his hand and pointed at the dial on his wrist. “If you can’t think of anything, we’ll move on.”

“Don’t.”

“Three seconds left.”

Chu Yuzhou’s mind raced. In a hurry, he said, “How about this? Get someone to carry you and do squats.”

“Get someone to carry me?”

“Yes, do fifteen squats.”

Seeing that he was deliberately making things easy for her, Lin Jiao chuckled and asked Zhou Yanshen, “Brother Yan, do you want to exercise?”

Zhou Yanshen glanced at someone who had a disappointed look on his face and almost laughed out loud.

He cleared his throat and said lightly, “Jiaojiao, I exercised with your sister-in-law until four last night. My back still hurts, so I might not be able to do squats.”

“Yanshen…” Du Wei glared at him and burrowed into his arms, her face red with embarrassment.

“My good girl.” Zhou Yanshen hugged her tighter. His loving tone made everyone want to beat him up.

Lin Jiao was even more speechless.

She looked around and chose someone she was most familiar with. “Uncle, can you carry me?”

“Yes,” Pei Zhi answered readily with a calm expression.

He walked to an empty spot and squatted down, giving his broad back to her. When he felt something soft pressing against, he held her leg.

“Uncle, I’m ready.” Lin Jiao hugged his neck and stared at him.

Pei Zhi took a deep breath to calm his racing heart and looked at the swimming pool not far away. In such a fashion, he did 15 squats with Lin Jiao on his back.

Even though he had been trying his best to do it slowly, time still flew by.

He could only put her down unwillingly.

“It’s my turn this time, right?” Lin Jiao returned to the table and grabbed the wine bottle.

Chu Yuzhou nodded. “Go ahead.” He sent the photo he had secretly taken to Pei Zhi and gave him a look.

Pei Zhi ignored him.

He looked at the bottle that was pointed at him and raised an eyebrow. He chose Truth.

Lin Jiao asked casually, “Uncle, have you ever had a crush on anyone in the past?”

Pei Zhi said, “Yes.” Not only in the past.
