Guangchang and Nuanxin both bit their lower lips lightly, feeling a little pain, but there was nothing they could do. It was like being in League of Legends and having your parents burst into the house and tell you to stop and go eat.
The three of them got up one after another and slowly walked to the front of the secondary hall. Jiang Xintong also showed Yan Xingmeng the utmost respect. This was the case at every birthday party for the two of them. Whoever was on the birthday had the right to set the rules for the games, which could be considered a special favoritism towards the birthday person.
At this moment, a waiter came over and handed her a microphone. Yan Xingmeng gently took it, glanced at the crowd below, and smiled with narrowed eyes: "Thank you all so much for coming to my birthday party. It was very enjoyable chatting with you all. I think this will definitely be a very unforgettable birthday for me."
Most of the people below smiled, and Yan Xingmeng continued, "It's exactly eight o'clock in the evening now. Many people who have attended my birthday party in the past should know that there is always a game competition between me and Xintong at this time. Many people have participated in it in the past. In the last two times, I was lucky enough to win twice in a row. I think Xintong must be full of fighting spirit today, right?"
Yan Xingmeng looked down at Jiang Xintong. The moment their eyes met, even those standing nearby could feel the immense pressure emanating from Jiang Xintong, enough to give anyone goosebumps.
But the game is more interesting with a touch of provocation, and everyone is hoping to be selected to participate, even if it's just as an NPC.
"However, this game may be a little different. It is not a multi-player team battle. There will be far fewer people than in the past. So, those who have not been notified in advance to join my team can move to the main hall first. Thank you all."
Upon hearing this news, the crowd erupted in uproar, all feeling it was a great pity. However, they were already quite fortunate to have exchanged a few words with Miss Yan. Despite their disappointment, they all respectfully left the secondary hall and headed to the main hall.
After most people left, only a handful of people remained, and... wait?
Guangchang spotted Han Junche, who was dressed in bright pink, at a glance. "What are you doing here?"
"Han Junche, you can leave first," Yan Xingmeng continued with a smile.
"No, President, I was quite useful at last year's birthday party, wasn't I? If I were to participate this time..."
"No need for this time." As soon as Yan Xingmeng finished speaking, several waiters slowly approached. Han Junche clenched his fists, his face turning red, and then turned around and was led by the waiters to the main hall.
This time, Han Junche collapsed quite quickly, without even participating in the game.
“Alright, let’s officially begin the game.” Yan Xingmeng clasped her hands together. In reality, the people below had already split into two factions when most of them left.
"So what game are we going to play this time? The key is fairness." Jiang Xintong still cares a lot about winning and losing; she's determined to win today!
"Don't worry, this game will be absolutely fair because the game we're going to play is very simple. We don't even need to explain the rules. Everyone will understand as soon as they hear it."
"What is it?"
Yan Xingmeng smiled and tilted her head slightly, saying sweetly, "Hide and seek~"
……
Hide-and-seek is a very simple game that almost every child has played at some point in their childhood. The seeker wins by finding the hider within a set time. Pshaw, I thought it would be some kind of super brain-training game, but I was wrong. Those bloodthirsty games where you have to push hundreds or millions of dollars and risk your fingers won't exist here.
Guangchang Chen was standing in front of a tightly closed door. The absolute silence was so profound that he could hear his own breathing. The game was indeed simple, but there was one thing Guangchang Chen didn't quite understand, and that was...
He slowly turned his head to the right, and saw Sun Weizecheng, who was smiling with his eyes narrowed, standing in front of him, waiting with him.
Guangchang didn't understand this point.
Why would Yan Xingmeng choose Lao Sun as her opponent?
"Brother, keep it up!" Sun Weize's voice trembled slightly, and even his breathing seemed rapid.
"Uh... ok."
Unlimited bounty and lottery during the month!
First of all, thank you all for your support. I've been thinking about the bounty and lottery for a while now, and I have to do it!
Let's get straight to the point. At the end of last month, I mentioned that if you vote for me, I can write 6,000 words a day next month. That will definitely remain the same and has nothing to do with the reward. Also, I'm working while writing, and I'm gradually getting used to this intensity. If I can adapt to updating 6,000 words a day, can it still be called a reward? So after much consideration, I've made a decision.
I will update 6,000 words daily from now on, and the chapters for the bounty will be updated in addition to the 6,000 words daily update.
But this intensity will definitely be quite strenuous, so I will gradually add more chapters every few days, but I will guarantee 6,000 chapters per day, and I will make up for the extra chapters little by little.
This should be the last time I offer a bounty, because the core of the bounty is getting votes. The top ten on the new book chart get a thousand yuan, so if you vote during the first three months of the new book's release, then after the new book is released, you'll have absolutely no chance of competing with those monsters for monthly votes, hahaha...
The bounty chapters are 3,000 words each.
120 monthly tickets plus one update.
100 blades plus one more.
12000 cat cakes, one more chapter added.
Silver Treasure Chest at Dawn.
The Golden Treasure Chest is now twenty chapters in.
It's a fairly fair reward.
Then, regarding the second thing, the lottery.
The core of the reward is the 1,000 yuan for being in the top ten of the new book charts. Here's what I'm thinking: to give back to the readers, I'll take out that 1,000 yuan and add a little more of my own money.
Finally, we'll be giving away 20 classic family bucket meals for 59.9 yuan each! If you can't order it in your region, you'll get a cash refund!
To participate, you need to have fan value and cast one of the following three options: a monthly ticket, a razor blade, or a spicy snack. Casting more tickets increases your chances of winning. Since the author is not very efficient, you can cast each type of ticket separately. The author will then randomly generate numbers and draw twenty winners from the backend.
This bounty and lottery are happening simultaneously! These three important events—extra chapters, bounty, and lottery—are also to thank our readers for their continued support!
This is an unlimited bounty, and the bounty period is from 0:00 on the 16th to 24:00 on the 17th, a full two days. Please cast your bounties as much as you can!
105. You are very important to me!
The hide-and-seek game was held in the building in front of us. After entering through the door, the game began. Guangchang Chen and Sun Weizecheng were the seekers. The game was won by scoring points. Each time someone from the opposing team was found, one point was awarded. Since this was Yan Xingmeng's own home, there was a special advantage. As long as Jiang Xintong's team found Yan Xingmeng, they would win immediately. The game lasted for one and a half hours.
"Then let's get started."
"it is good."
The game timer starts the moment the door opens.
Sun Weize pushed the door open with both hands, and as it opened slightly, a warm current flowed out, since the stairwell was still a little cold.
This area is on the second floor of the building. Pushing open the door, you can see a long corridor of more than twenty meters. The corridor is carpeted and has room doors on both sides. The players are hidden somewhere in these rooms.
"Should we act together? Or..."
“How can we act together? This is the chairman’s house. If you had researched the hiding place beforehand, you could have reaped the benefits while I found my people,” Guangchang Chen said.
"Hmm~ that makes sense, you're quite serious, hahaha." Sun Weizecheng seemed indifferent to winning or losing the game. So, choosing him was just a matter of bad luck, huh? Or had they already planned some kind of foolproof winning strategy?
"Hey, don't look at me like that, Fan Chen. There's really no conspiracy theory. I don't actually know the exact location of the other people on our side, or if they posted it in the group, I didn't open it. Hmm... five minutes have passed, let's find them as soon as possible." Sun Weizecheng tapped the dial of his watch on his left wrist with the tip of his index finger.
Old Sun was right about that. Time waits for no one. With so many rooms, searching one by one would definitely be too late. It would be better to start the lottery directly.
This is purely a game of probability.
The long corridor was completely dark, with no lights on, just to fit the theme of hide-and-seek. Moonlight streamed in through the window at the end, so it wasn't exactly dark. Guangchang quickened his pace, trying to figure out Yan Xingmeng's psychology, and chose the first and last rooms first.
As the first room was opened, the dazzling array of dolls inside almost terrified Guangchang.
In other words, without the lights on, those two-meter-tall dolls, their plastic eyes reflecting the moonlight, exuded an eerie atmosphere.
Guangchang shuddered and said, "How come there are so many dolls here?"
"Oh, because this is the president's exclusive floor. Every room is related to the president. This is Abebe's room, which was where the president would recover when she was little. When she was tired from studying, scolded by her elders, or in a bad mood, she would come to this room and lie down in this spot. The feeling of being surrounded by teddy bears allowed her to temporarily escape reality." Sun Weize pointed to the center of one of the teddy bears, which was more than two meters tall. If you looked closely, you could indeed see a slightly obvious indentation.
"Is that so? So even the president can escape reality? I thought her aura was innate." Guang Chen said as he stepped forward and touched a few of the big bears. There was nothing unusual about them. Even the president couldn't hide inside a bear's belly.
"How could that be? Although I haven't known the president since childhood, I've heard her talk about many things from the past in her office. She also went through a very strict family upbringing to get to where she is today. Hmm... how about we lie down and see?"
"That's not necessary."
"It should smell like the president."
"?" Guangchang found it hard to understand the significance of Lao Sun following him; he just treated him as a narrator.
There was no one in Abebe's room, so Guangchang went directly to the last room, intending to figure out what was going on. After opening it, he found a small study. After confirming that there were no secret passages or mechanisms, the room was also empty.
There was still plenty of time; only fifteen minutes had passed. Guangchang Chen wasn't in a hurry at all, since Lao Sun didn't seem anxious at all either.
"Oh right, I forgot to mention, the president said that the fourth room on the right is her bedroom," Sun Weize suddenly reminded him.
"There's a bedroom too?"
“I already said it’s a private floor. According to Yi Mo, no one her age has come up here in the past year or so, apart from her. What do you call that? Enjoying solitude?” Sun Weizecheng stroked his chin, his steps light, chatting casually with Guangchang Chen.
"Since there are bedrooms, let's go take a look." Guang Chen said, counting the doors. After walking about ten meters, he finally stood in front of a large door with a unique floral pattern. He placed his right hand on the handrail and gently pushed the door open to enter.
Strangely, this time Sun Weize didn't follow. Instead, he remained standing a dozen meters away, the faint moonlight illuminating his profile. He pursed his lips and murmured softly, "I'm not going in this time either. Good luck, brother..."
Sun Weize then casually glanced at the rooms on the left and right, before pushing open the door to the room on the left and beginning his search.
……
The moment he entered the room, a faint fragrance wafted over. In fact, Guang Chen was now a little regretful. Had he entered the bedroom too casually? Should he go out and call for Lao Sun? Just as he was thinking this, he saw a familiar figure in his line of sight.
He saw Yan Xingmeng sitting obediently on the edge of the European-style bed, about five or six meters away, as if she was waiting for him to come into the room.
Well, they're not even hiding it anymore.
Seeing the president again means I don't have to worry about the awkwardness of running into him while rummaging through drawers. Hmm? There are less than twenty minutes left in the game. Isn't finding the president supposed to be the instant victory? Has our side already won? It's supposed to be a mini-game, but it's really simple and quick!
The bedroom door behind them was also gently closed with a magnetic closure, and the entire bedroom was unusually quiet.
When Yan Xingmeng saw Guangchang enter, she showed no surprise. Dressed in a light purple dress, she sat on the edge of the bed with her hands around her knees. Her high heels with thin straps were placed on the floor in front of her, and her fair feet were faintly visible under the tulle of her dress.
At a time like this, shouldn't the president greet her with a "Good evening" or something like "Guang Chen"? Could it be that she discovered it too early? Actually, she was resentful.
Thinking of this, Guangchang let out a long sigh and said, "It would be too boring if the game ended like this. Why don't I go and wander around somewhere else first?"
As he spoke, Guang Chen turned around, put one hand on the doorknob, and just as he opened the door, he suddenly heard light footsteps beside him. It was the sound of someone running barefoot on the carpet, not even having time to put on shoes.
Guangchang Chen turned his head and saw that Yan Xingmeng had already come to his side and was holding his right arm, preventing him from leaving.
Yan Xingmeng lowered her head, slowly opened her mouth, and said, "Victory or defeat is not important to me..."
A hint of surprise flashed in Guangchang's eyes.
"You are more important to me."
The president's unexpected words stunned Guang Chen, who stood rooted to the spot. He could feel the weight of the other man's left hand pressing on his arm.
"Am I more important to you?" This statement...
The moonlight streaming in through the huge window on the right made Yan Xingmeng look exceptionally beautiful. As the saying goes, even a slightly unclear view can spark endless imagination. Yan Xingmeng slowly raised her head until her eyes were fixed on Guang Yunchen, and the two looked at each other again.
This time, the distance was very, very close...
Is it really that close?
The atmosphere was great, the environment was great, and even the expressions were perfect. The very clear breathing sounds in the quiet environment all contributed to the building atmosphere of intimacy.
But is this really the case?
Guangchang has its own methods for verification.
After staring at Yan Xingmeng for a few seconds, the information about her favorability rating reappeared. When the familiar 39 points of favorability appeared again, this time, Guangchang Chen was not particularly surprised.
Just like Guang Guangchen said before, people are not machines, and it is impossible for them to do whatever they say. After they parted ways on the playground, he said he was relieved, but every time Guang Guangchen subconsciously checked his favorability rating, he felt a little depressed when he saw 39 points in the first one or two times. But as the number of times increased, Guang Guangchen gradually became more and more indifferent to this kind of thing, and even developed a little annoyance.
If this were a cultivation game, Guangchang Chen would be undergoing a trial of tempering his heart in the mortal world, going from being moved to becoming increasingly indifferent. If he cultivates this mindset well, he won't stagnate in his cultivation when he enters the vast world in the future due to some mental issues!
"Ha..." Guangchang sighed again, but his eyes were unusually calm, which made Yan Xingmeng, who was looking at him, a little dazed.
"Can you stop making such pointless jokes? Honestly, I'm starting to get annoyed."
Guangchang was genuinely angry. This had happened too many times. Did the president really think of him as a toy? Sorry, but I don't want to be anyone's toy.
"I'm not joking, I'm telling the truth, including last time..."
Yan Xingmeng's voice was very soft, and Guangchang Chen naturally remembered which time Yan Xingmeng was referring to, the time when she said those ambiguous words to him at the entrance of the teahouse.
It's not just a friendship, but a more special kind of relationship...
Wow……
How could you say something like that? You're truly something else, President.
"No, I can distinguish between truth and falsehood, because I believe..."
"You can see with your eyes, right?" Yan Xingmeng suddenly interjected. She didn't expect her to remember. She might think this was something like metaphysics, but it wasn't. Guangchang Chen really was someone who came with his own system.
Guangchang didn't answer, his hand still resting on the handle. Yan Xingmeng noticed his movement, then greeted him with a smile, saying, "Twenty minutes, just stay here for twenty minutes, we can chat some more, okay? Today...it's my birthday after all, right..."
106. Use your eyes to see!
If that's the case again...
From language, actions, and expressions, it all seems to be the same, but the actual situation is completely different.
President, how long are you going to keep playing me for a fool?
