When Will My Childhood Sweetheart Marry Me?-Chapter 77 - 0: Once There’s a Nemesis

The loser had to accept a punishment. Xie Anyu was the first to draw a slip of paper from the dark box, which read, "Choose a member of the opposite sex and make eye contact for thirty seconds. If the heart rate monitor bracelet shows a heartbeat over 90, you need to punish yourself with a drink."

Jiang Shuyao got something fairly normal, a choice between truth and dare.

Without hesitation, she chose truth.

The scene went quiet for a moment.

Everyone was looking forward to seeing whom the school beauty Xie Anyu would choose to stare at. It was a golden opportunity, and many speculated she would definitely pick Pei Yan.

It was Boss Pei’s first time playing the heartbeat game with a girl. No one knew how he would react—it was quite thrilling just to think about.

Unsurprisingly, Xie Anyu walked over to Pei Yan with the heart rate monitor in hand, her cheeks flushed as she sought his consent, "You’re the birthday boy today, will you complete this task with me?"

Pei Yan rested his hand on the back of the couch, legs carelessly crossed, showing no emotion on his face.

He didn’t directly answer Xie Anyu but slowly shifted his gaze to another figure.

The girl was sitting quietly at the round table, speaking softly with Tang Xing. Her eyes were serene, and she chatted cheerily, seemingly indifferent to the upcoming game.

A cold smile gradually spread over Pei Yan’s face, his dark eyes becoming somewhat startling under the light.

These so-called tests were just self-inflicted annoyances.

Fuck, he must have a masochistic streak.

Pei Yan downed the drink in his glass in one go and irritably tugged at the collar of his shirt before tossing out a phrase and leaving.

"Whoever brought her takes responsibility."

After saying that, he walked out of the private room with long strides under the breathless gazes of everyone.

Xie Anyu was frightened, standing petrified, her face turning from red to white, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

She had been rejected by him for the second time.

Just as publicly and without a hint of courtesy.

The joy with which she had come today turned out to be a joke.

Boss Pei was not known to pity and cherish the fairer sex, leaving a girl hanging in such a situation. Everyone else couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.

He Qingzhou pinched the bridge of his nose and stood up from the sofa with a sigh, about to step in himself when Xu Kanfeng spoke up just in time to interrupt.

"Just pick anyone, even a girl will do."

Hearing this, the others immediately agreed, "Yeah, yeah, just hurry up and pick a girl. Brother Yan is still waiting to cut the cake."

When Pei Yan came back, the heart rate test for Xie Anyu had already ended.

Seeing him enter, Chen Jin waved his hand excitedly.

"Hey, just in time, Brother Yan. How about you ask the truth question?"

Jiang Shuyao frowned slightly but remained silent.

Thinking that Boss Pei had lost interest and didn’t want to get involved anymore, who would have thought he would just smile and say, "Sure."

Pei Yan walked over slowly and sat down beside Jiang Shuyao.

He smelled the faint fragrance coming from her hair.

Pure temptation.

The kind that made her impossible to possess.

He tugged at the corner of his lips and asked her, "Out of all the guys here, if you had to choose one to be your boyfriend, who would you pick?"

The crowd immediately started to make a commotion, realizing that Brother Yan’s interest was not in the school beauty.

No wonder he had been so angry earlier.

That pretty girl was personally brought by Brother Yan, so she must be special.

As everyone watched in anticipation, Jiang Shuyao picked up an empty wine glass without any expression, tossed a nut into it, and it quickly fell to the bottom.

She raised her eyes slightly, "Whoever can tell me the buoyant force acting on the nut during the fall, I’ll choose him."

Her words left everyone dumbstruck.

Tang Xing was about to exclaim when Jiang Shuyao promptly silenced him with a look.

The boys present didn’t take their schooling seriously as failing to get into college was no big deal with family businesses to inherit. Forget a simple physics question; even if the answer was right in front of them, they might not even recognize all the mathematical symbols.

Jiang Shuyao’s question inevitably put a group of rich kids into an embarrassing spot.

Chen Jin and his two friends swallowed hard, exchanging glances. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Damn, truth could be played this way too.

Not only did she not get tripped up, but she also played Boss Pei like a fiddle.

Indeed, once a man meets his nemesis, he’s finished.
