Chapter 29: Truth or Dare
After a while of talking, the chocolate mousse in the oven was almost ready. Shen Xun checked the time. “The dessert is almost ready. I’ll take it out to cool and demold it. That way, we can eat it while we play games later.”
“Mhmm, I’ll go with you,” Su Jian Yue said, being very clingy.
“Okay.” Shen Xun, in a very good mood, took Su Jian Yue to the kitchen.
By now, the oven had automatically stopped running. Shen Xun put on oven mitts, opened the oven door, and then took out the baking pan from inside.
Shen Xun used a knife to score around the edges of the baking pan, then inverted it onto the counter. She gently shook the pan, and in no time, a complete, large mousse cake was successfully demolded.
Su Jian Yue’s eyes lit up as she looked at the dessert in front of her. “Older Sister, this looks so delicious.”
“Let me cut a little for you to try first,” Shen Xun said, bringing over a plate and a fork. She cut a small piece of cake from it, then used the fork to pick up a small bite and fed it to Su Jian Yue’s lips.
Su Jian Yue was about to die of happiness. Her older sister was feeding her. Of course, she had to eat it obediently.
Su Jian Yue took a bite. After chewing a few times, her eyes lit up. “Mmm, delicious. The chocolate flavor is mixed with a milky fragrance, and it’s not too sweet. Older Sister, you’re amazing!”
Shen Xun looked at the little puppy who was showering her with rainbow farts, her eyes curving into a smile. She also used the fork to take a small piece for herself. Shen Xun tasted it. The flavor was indeed quite good. “It is quite good. Very nice. We’ll have something to eat later.”
While the two of them were eating cake here, Zhao Qifei was about to grind his teeth to dust. He had seen Shen Xun feeding Su Jian Yue cake, and then Shen Xun had even used the same fork she had just used to feed Su Jian Yue to eat some herself. Zhao Qifei was about to explode with anger.
At this moment, the live stream’s bullet comments were scrolling by rapidly.
[Ahhhhhh, the two of them used the same fork to eat. That’s practically an indirect kiss!]
[Look at how skilled Shen Xun’s movements are. She must have fed Su Jian Yue a lot in private. (smirking dog.jpg)]
[My XunYue CP is giving out candy again. So sweet. S-ha, s-ha.]
[But to be fair, the dessert Shen Xun made looks very professional. It makes me want to eat it too.]
[Sob, I also want to eat the dessert baby Xunxun made. It must be delicious.]
[Wait, did you guys notice Zhao Qifei? LOL, Zhao Qifei is about to grind his teeth to dust.]
Not far away in the living room, Yu Lin also saw the interaction between Shen Xun and Su Jian Yue. She pinched the bridge of her nose. Yesterday, on their date, when she had fed Su Jian Yue barbecue, Su Jian Yue’s first reaction was to politely refuse. But when Shen Xun fed her something, Su Jian Yue ate it happily.
Thinking of this, Yu Lin let out a deep sigh. Su Jian Yue’s double standards seemed a bit obvious.
Shen Xun had already cut the large mousse cake into small pieces and then placed them on a large, exquisite plate.
She placed the dessert on a nearby cabinet for later use. “Let’s eat first. We’ll have dessert and such after lunch.”
“Mhmm, I’ll listen to you,” Su Jian Yue replied obediently.
Just then, Liang Wenjing’s cold dishes were also ready. Shen Xun helped carry a plate of cold dishes to the dining table.
“There are ten of us in total. Let’s get the bowls, chopsticks, and spoons ready first,” Shen Xun said.
“Alright,” Liang Wenjing replied, and a few of them went to set the table.
After Liang Wenjing had served rice for everyone, the four dishes Zhao Qifei had made were also ready.
The largest portion was the beef with potatoes and carrots. Jiang Ying divided it into two bowls and placed one on each side of the long table. The remaining dishes were stir-fried chili with meat, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and shrimp with cucumber and cashews, as well as two cold dishes. Although it wasn’t a feast, there was at least a large quantity to fill everyone up.
“Everything is almost ready. Everyone, come and eat,” Shen Xun called out, and she also chose a seat and sat down.
Su Jian Yue obediently sat to Shen Xun’s right, while Chen Zhibin quickly snatched the seat to Shen Xun’s left.
This time, Liang Wenjing sat to Su Jian Yue’s right.
Seeing that the seats on both sides of Shen Xun were taken, Zhao Qifei felt like his world was collapsing. In the end, he had to be pulled to a seat by Zheng Tianming, and only then did he manage to not lose his composure.
Su Jian Yue’s eyes lit up as she looked at the table full of delicious food. “Thank you for the gift from the four chefs. I’m digging in~”
“Everyone, let’s eat,” Shen Xun also said with a smile.
Su Jian Yue directly took a chopstick-full of beef. After tasting it, she couldn’t help but nod frequently. “Wow, this beef is so tender. It doesn’t stick to your teeth at all. Delicious, delicious!”
As Su Jian Yue spoke, she also took a chopstick-full of potatoes for herself. After tasting it, she found that the potatoes didn’t even need to be chewed. With a light press in her mouth, they melted directly.
Su Jian Yue ate very happily. Although Zhao Qifei was usually quite greasy, she had to admit that his cooking was really delicious.
“Mmm, it is indeed not bad. The potatoes are also very delicious,” Chen Zhibin chimed in.
Zhao Qifei glanced at Chen Zhibin, his teeth about to shatter. Wait, why are all the alphas praising him? Aren’t the omegas going to say anything?
Zhao Qifei’s gaze fell on Shen Xun. Shen Xun was just eating her own food, no different from usual.
On the other hand, Su Jian Yue was eating with gusto. “This stir-fried chili is also delicious. Older Sister, you should try it.”
As Su Jian Yue spoke, she used the serving chopsticks to get some stir-fried chili with meat for Shen Xun.
Shen Xun ate a few bites with her rice and smiled. “Mmm, it does taste good.”
“Hehe, I told you it was delicious~”
Seeing the two of them being so lovey-dovey, Zhao Qifei was about to die of anger, his gaze constantly fixed on Su Jian Yue.
Su Jian Yue sensed that someone was looking at her. She looked up and met Zhao Qifei’s eyes. Su Jian Yue smiled at him. “Brother Zhao, the dishes you cooked are really delicious. I can eat two bowls of rice with them.”
Zhao Qifei was furious inside, but he had to maintain a decent appearance on the surface. “I’m glad you like it, I’m glad you like it.”
“This cold dish is also delicious. You guys are all so amazing,” Su Jian Yue said, taking a bite of the cold dish and starting to be a people-pleaser.
At this moment, the live stream’s bullet comments were also quite lively.
[Hahaha, Little Moon is starting to be a people-pleaser again.]
[After all, our baby has loved to be a people-pleaser since she was a child. She gave candy to every kid.]
[Why do I feel like Zhao Qifei is angry?]
[Isn’t it obvious? Didn’t you see that he didn’t get the seat to Shen Xun’s left?]
[This season is really a love triangle. Shen Xun and Su Jian Yue are both so popular. Several people like them.]
[That’s very normal. Baby Xunxun and Little Moon are both so good. It’s hard not to like them, right?]
After everyone had finished lunch, it was still Shen Xun’s group of four who were in charge of cleaning up. But Su Jian Yue was unwilling to leave Shen Xun’s side and kept following her, helping her wash the dishes.
As a result, Zhao Qifei had no opportunity at all. He had originally thought of getting close to Shen Xun while they were working, but in the end, he couldn’t even get a word in. Su Jian Yue was talking so much that her mouth basically never stopped.
Su Jian Yue helped Shen Xun wash the dishes. Jiang Ying and Liang Wenjing had also more or less cleaned up the kitchen. Zhao Qifei was in charge of cleaning the dining table and also sweeping and mopping the floor of the dining table and kitchen.
By the time all the work was done, it was almost one-thirty. But because it was a free day today, everyone had woken up late, so they weren’t very tired. Of course, except for Su Jian Yue, who had woken up at six in the morning.
Mao Ning had already taken two bottles of wine upstairs. One was red wine, and the other was white wine. The alcohol content was basically around ten-something percent.
Jiang Ying and the others also helped take the plates, forks, and glasses upstairs.
When Su Jian Yue followed Shen Xun up to the third floor, everyone was already sitting on the fluffy carpet in a circle. In the center of the circle was a small round table with dessert and two bottles of wine on it.
“OK, now everyone is here. How about it? Do you guys want to have some dessert first, or start playing the game directly?” Yu Lin asked with a smile.
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s start right away!” Chen Zhibin had been waiting for a long time.
“Alright, then let’s play rock-paper-scissors to decide the winner first. Then the winner will spin the bottle. Whoever it points to will have to answer a question or do a dare,” Zhao Qifei said.
His luck was not bad. Shen Xun had just sat down to his right, and to Shen Xun’s right was Su Jian Yue. This way, he would have a lot of room to maneuver.
“Okay.”
Everyone agreed and then started to play rock-paper-scissors.
It took a total of six rounds to decide the final winner.
“Jiang Ying, your luck is really good. You won right from the start. You can spin,” Chen Zhibin said enviously.
Jiang Ying nodded and spun the bottle with a decisive flick. The empty glass bottle began to spin wildly on the table, then slowly came to a stop in front of Zhao Qifei.
“Do you choose truth or dare?” Jiang Ying asked.
Zhao Qifei glanced at Shen Xun, but Shen Xun didn’t give him a look. He scratched his head. “Then let’s do a dare.”
Zhao Qifei thought that the dares on a romance variety show would definitely involve a lot of physical contact, such as kissing the person in the adjacent seat or something. Therefore, he looked at Jiang Ying excitedly, hoping that she would give him a dare with physical contact.
“I choose a dare!” Zhao Qifei said in a loud voice.
“Hiss, Brother Zhao, don’t get so excited. Your voice is too loud,” Mao Ning, who was sitting to Zhao Qifei’s left, complained. His ears were almost deafened.
Jiang Ying thought for a moment and smiled. “Do you want to play something exciting, or something normal? Choose a level, and I can give you a task.”
Hearing this, Zhao Qifei became even more excited. Something exciting would definitely involve physical contact with the omegas present. Then he would definitely choose the exciting one. After all, he was already here. It was such a good opportunity. If he didn’t seize it this time, he might not have another chance next time.
“Let’s choose the exciting one,” Zhao Qifei replied, holding his head high.
Su Jian Yue gave him a thumbs up. “Awesome, Brother Zhao.”
A wave of “hahahaha” floated by in the bullet comments.
[Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter. Little Moon, although what you said is very sincere, why do I feel like it’s sarcastic?]
[Our baby is really just hyping him up. Don’t talk nonsense.]
[Exactly, our cub is the most innocent. (dog head.jpg)]
[To the person in front, get rid of that dog head emoji.]
[Zhao Qifei is probably about to die of anger, but he can’t do anything about Su Jian Yue.]
Jiang Ying nodded and chimed in, “It is indeed awesome. You chose this yourself, so you can’t blame me.”
“Don’t worry. Am I that kind of person?” Zhao Qifei said, pretending to be relaxed.
“Then you can go downstairs and run three laps around the villa’s courtyard,” Jiang Ying said.
Zhao Qifei was shocked. “What? Run laps? Aren’t we on a romance variety show?”
Jiang Ying nodded. “It is a romance variety show, but that has nothing to do with truth or dare. I can set any task I want. And I even let you choose the difficulty level yourself. Besides, if you don’t want to go, you can just drink this glass of red wine and it’ll be over. We’re not forcing you.”
Since it had come to this, and Zhao Qifei was an extremely face-conscious person, he had just confidently chosen the exciting option. If he didn’t go now, wouldn’t he be slapping himself in the face?
Therefore, Zhao Qifei took a deep breath and said, pretending to be calm, “Alright, I accept. Running three laps can also help with digestion. You guys wait for me for a bit. We’ll play again when I get back.”
“Don’t worry,” Ren Peng said with a smile.
“Brother Zhao, go for it!” Su Jian Yue made a cheering gesture.
Zhao Qifei stared at Su Jian Yue, gritting his teeth for a long time before squeezing out a smile. “Thank you.”
With that, he went downstairs with his follow-cam cameraman.
