Chapter 632 — I'm Sorry About That

The Blossom Guardian

"Oh, I was just making sure!" Shen Yushu stuck out her tongue.

"Um, Yaoyao, don't misunderstand, I was just... I just..." An Liwen found it hard to explain! If he denied it and said he didn't want to do that with her, wouldn't that amount to saying he didn't like her? Then how was he supposed to confess? But if he said he did want to, that didn't sound right either!

An Liwen was furious. This Shen Yushu really was more trouble than she was worth — thank goodness he had classified her as an unwelcome guest from the very start. Otherwise, if he really did bring her home, wouldn't his life be cut short? He'd be angry to death every single day.

"I'm sorry about that, Brother Jianwen, but I don't want to do that with you!" Shen Yushu said with some regret.

"What does that have to do with you?" An Liwen thought to himself. It had nothing to do with her at all — even if she wanted him, he wouldn't dare go along with it! But since Shen Yushu had changed the subject, that was exactly what An Liwen wanted; he could use a change of topic to ease his embarrassment.

"Of course it has to do with me!" Shen Yushu nodded solemnly and said, "Sister Yaoyao is the wife, and I'm the concubine. If you want to do that with her, doesn't that mean you'd have to do it with the concubine too? But I don't have feelings for you, so it's impossible for me to do that with you!"

"..." An Liwen's face was covered in black lines. He wanted to curse, but didn't dare.

Chen Yuxuan frowned as well. He hadn't expected his sister's words and behavior to be so bold now. It seemed he would have to find an opportunity to learn more about his sister's current life.

"Xiaoshu, don't talk nonsense." Gu Mengyao spoke up to stop her. "You're a girl, don't keep those two words on your lips all the time. It's not proper!"

"All right, Sister Yaoyao, I won't say it anymore." Shen Yushu shut her mouth after saying that.

An Liwen had no temper left at all. He gave a dry laugh and had no choice but to shoot Su Taizao a look, telling him to keep creating opportunities to confess to Gu Mengyao in the next round. This round had been ruined by Shen Yushu, and there was no way to continue it now.

"Brother Yutian, it's my turn to ask you." An Liwen wanted to end this round as quickly as possible so that Su Taizao could continue questioning him. Without thinking much, he asked casually, "That instructor you mentioned — who is he?"

"I can't say. It's confidential." Chen Yuxuan knew today's protagonist wasn't him. He had come here only because Qiu Lingshan had rejected him and he had nowhere else to go, so he had come along casually for fun. But he hadn't expected to run into Wei Zhao by accident!

This was the greatest gain of his night. Although Wei Zhao seemed unwilling to bring up the past, that didn't matter. As long as he had found Wei Zhao in person, there would be plenty of chances to interact in the future. Chen Yuxuan believed that as one of his most prized students, Wei Zhao would not simply ignore him.

So Chen Yuxuan wasn't interested in any of the games. His purpose in staying here was simply to sit face to face with Wei Zhao! What an exciting and thrilling thing that was! The instructor who had once been so unattainable could actually sit at the same table and eat with him today — what an honor! If his former teammates knew, they would probably die of envy, wouldn't they?

Chen Yuxuan's words stunned both An Liwen and Su Taizao. They had thought this was an ordinary topic, and that Chen Yuxuan would just say a few words and move on, but they hadn't expected him to keep it confidential! Could this instructor's identity be something special?

But even if his identity was special, it had nothing to do with An Liwen or Su Taizao, and neither of them was interested. An Liwen was rather impatient, but he kept a straight face and continued, "Then, Brother Yutian, do you choose to drink as punishment or take a dare?"

"I'll drink a bottle as punishment." Chen Yuxuan's tolerance for alcohol was quite good. Especially in recent years, while stationed at the border, it would have been hard to get through the bitter cold winter nights without liquor, so his capacity was much better than before.

Chen Yuxuan opened a bottle of red wine and drank it straight down without even blinking. After finishing, he asked Shen Yushu, "Xiaoshu, do you have a boyfriend?"

Chen Yuxuan felt that his sister seemed to have become a bit more open, what with those words always on her lips, so he wanted to probe and see whether she had a boyfriend.

"Oh, I'd like to have one too, but Sister Yaoyao won't cooperate. She won't get a boyfriend, so I can't either, ahhh!" Shen Yushu said with some grief and indignation.

"You don't?" Chen Yuxuan was taken aback. Still, this was good news. It was just that his sister's way of thinking really did seem a little strange. Was she really that close to Gu Mengyao? So close that she had to be the concubine?

"No, I don't!" Shen Yushu shook her head and said, "All right, it's my turn to ask. Sister Yaoyao, when are you going to get a boyfriend?"

"I don't know." Gu Mengyao glared at Shen Yushu. "Stop asking these strange questions all the time!"

"It's Truth or Dare, so of course we have to ask strange questions!" Shen Yushu didn't think much of it. "Sigh, I still want a threesome. If you don't get a boyfriend, when is that ever going to happen?"

"Huh?"

It wasn't just An Liwen and Su Taizao — even Chen Yuxuan's eyes went wide. He had never imagined Shen Yushu could come out with something so outrageous! A threesome?

An Liwen's face twitched twice. A threesome might sound like a fine time, but it all depended on with whom. With Shen Yushu? He didn't have that kind of nerve — he wasn't ready to die!

Wei Zhao, by contrast, was long since inured to it all, and went on sitting there, expressionless as ever.

"Xiaoshu, didn't I tell you not to say that word? Why are you still using such unrefined language?" Gu Mengyao was getting angry.

"Sister Yaoyao, I didn't say it! I said 'threesome' — I never said the other thing," Shen Yushu quibbled.

"It's the same thing. From now on you're not to say it at all," Gu Mengyao said with a sniff.

"All right, then I'll say it secretly at home," Shen Yushu muttered under her breath.

"Not at home either!" Gu Mengyao shot her a glare, unwilling to pursue the subject any further. "Fine. You can go on asking Brother Taizao your questions."

Su Taizao's heart gave a violent lurch. Shen Yushu again? Surely not? But before he could voice any objection, Shen Yushu had already begun her second round of questioning.

"Brother Taizao, do you still wet the bed now?" Shen Yushu was no fool. Su Taizao's earlier refusal to answer, his opting for a dare instead, had struck her as suspicious! She figured he must wet the bed, so she decided to ask a similar sort of question.

"That's not fair! You already asked that question!" Su Taizao leapt to his feet in protest.

Gu Mengyao hadn't expected Shen Yushu to be so wicked — asking once wasn't enough, she had to ask a second time. Wasn't that just making things hard for the poor man? Still, Gu Mengyao couldn't help finding it rather astonishing. Su Taizao still wet the bed?
