Chapter 50: Cheating, Really?

"Pfft! —Hahahahaha..."

Chu Tiantian couldn't hold it back for a second and burst into loud laughter.

Su Meng rolled her eyes at her speechlessly, and Chu Tiantian immediately realized she had laughed too genuinely.

She hurriedly forced herself to suppress her smile.

"... No, sorry, Su Meng, actually what I meant to say was... that you are also very good."

Fu Hai hurriedly apologized.

It was just that this explanation was too pale; it would have been better not to say it at all.

Su Meng turned to Shen Huai with a dark face: "What's your evaluation?"

"... Hmm," Shen Huai rested his chin on his hand, scanned Chu Tiantian and Su Meng with leisure, and spoke indifferently: "Chu Tiantian, innocent and carefree, as for you, well..."

Shen Huai paused for a second, his gaze becoming slightly playful: "Saying one thing while meaning another."

"...?"

Su Meng actually didn't understand for a moment.

It was Chu Tiantian who, for once, managed to grasp the meaning behind the words: "Oh, Shen Huai, your judgment of people is simply too accurate!"

"Mengmeng is just like that! Hard-mouthed but soft-hearted, saying one thing while meaning another! Actually, she is a very good person behind the scenes."

"How about you two just—"

"Stop!"

Before Chu Tiantian could finish, Su Meng pinched Chu Tiantian's thigh hard, warning her with her eyes: "I know what you're going to say, but don't say it yet."

After speaking, Su Meng glared viciously at Shen Huai, picked up her wine glass, and intended to down it in one gulp.

But just as she raised it into the air, it was snatched away by Shen Huai.

Shen Huai took the wine and drank it clean without saying a word.

"What are you doing?" Su Meng frowned.

Facing Su Meng's questioning, Shen Huai smiled and placed the empty glass back in front of her, speaking with a beaming smile: "Rules are dead, but people are alive."

"As men, how can we watch women keep drinking, so I wanted to share some of the burden for you."

This explanation seemed incredibly gentlemanly at this moment.

Chu Tiantian, who couldn't see the situation clearly, was still fanning the flames on the side: "Wow, Shen Huai, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful!"

And Shen Huai nodded slightly toward Chu Tiantian to show his gratitude.

"Hmph, just a scumbag's tactics; whoever takes it seriously loses."

Su Meng held back her energy, sat back down, and kept slandering him in her heart.

"Continue! It's my turn to spin!"

Su Meng's eyes darkened as she took the chopsticks and immediately threw herself into the next round.

No surprises.

The tip of the chopsticks pointed south again.

This time, Fu Hai's expression was already close to shock.

The shrimp paste he had just fished out fell back into the pot with a "plop" out of fright.

"Su Meng, how can your luck be so good?" Fu Hai couldn't figure it out.

Su Meng spread her hands triumphantly: "It's clearly that you guys are too unlucky, don't blame me."

Fu Hai frowned: "I don't want Truth this time, it's too terrifying, I choose Dare."

Hearing this, the corners of Su Meng's mouth curled up slightly.

She had finally waited for this moment.

Su Meng calmly took out her phone and opened her Moments.

"Now, immediately, right away."

"You two must both post a status on Moments visible to everyone."

"The content is: 'It's so boring being alone tonight, is there anyone who can come keep me company?' After posting, light up your phone screen and place it on the table, ten-minute time limit!"

Su Meng's tone was slightly impassioned, just like a hunter who had finally waited for the rabbit, her eyes shining with excited glints.

Upon hearing this.

Fu Hai and Shen Huai fell into a rare, unified silence.

"... Isn't this playing a bit too big?" Fu Hai was somewhat resistant.

It wasn't that he was worried about whether anyone would leave a comment under this post.

On the contrary.

What Fu Hai was worried about was, if after ten minutes, this explosive post of his didn't receive a single like, would Chu Tiantian think he was useless, that he didn't even have any friends? Average looks, average build.

Always living a life of two points and one line, his real world was as plain as boiled water.

No one cared about the Moments he posted at all.

Meanwhile, Shen Huai also knitted his brows and remained silent.

If this post were to be sent.

His WeChat would likely suffer an earthquake.

And he would have to keep the comment section public for ten minutes.

If all those ex-girlfriends of his who worked at the same company left comments in the section.

Wouldn't they just form an ex-girlfriend alliance right there on the spot? His days ahead would likely be extremely difficult.

Can't post it.

This post must absolutely not be sent.

Shen Huai and Fu Hai exchanged a tacit look, then leaned to the side and picked up two bottles of beer.

"This time, I concede."

Seeing that Shen Huai was about to concede voluntarily, Su Meng felt not a shred of satisfaction in her heart, but rather a trace of disappointment.

"No way! How can you concede so easily?"

Her eyes darted, and her gaze turned to Fu Hai, "If you won't post it, is it because you're still in contact with other girls on WeChat? Are you feeling guilty and afraid to post it?" "If that's the case, our Tian Tian cannot be with a fickle man!"

Seeing that a direct approach wouldn't work, Su Meng decided to start with Fu Hai.

Sure enough.

Su Meng's attempt at sowing discord was very effective.

Fu Hai immediately became anxious: "What are you saying? How could that be! I only have a little over 200 friends on WeChat in total! And most of them are fellow enthusiasts..."

Fu Hai looked at Chu Tiantian with anxious eyes, hoping she would believe him.

However, he saw a flicker of hesitation in Chu Tiantian's eyes.

Fu Hai was already clumsy with words, and now he was so panicked he lost his composure, turning his head to look at the silent Shen Huai beside him.

Hardening his heart, he took out his phone directly: "Fine, it's just posting to Moments! I'll post it!"

At worst, he would just be exposed as a shut-in with no social life and no friends.

The most urgent task was to gain Chu Tiantian's trust!

Fu Hai's fingers flew, typing out the sentence in a few quick strokes, and after a second of hesitation, he finally pressed the send button as if he had made up his mind.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Three minutes.

Everyone was eating hot pot while staring at Fu Hai's phone.

Time passed second by second.

Fu Hai's head, as he ate, drooped lower and lower.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and this post on Moments hung there all alone on the table, without even a single like.

Su Meng raised her eyebrows, looking slightly surprised.

Only now did she understand why Fu Hai had been so dead set against posting this to Moments.

Su Meng turned back to look at Chu Tiantian, feeling somewhat awkward.

But she saw Chu Tiantian slowly raise a sweet smile, looking at Fu Hai with deep affection.

The next moment.

A comment suddenly appeared on Fu Hai's post.

【Can I keep you company?】

And the person who commented was none other than Chu Tiantian! The moment Fu Hai saw Chu Tiantian's reply, the inferiority and gloom in his heart were swept away in an instant!

He looked at Chu Tiantian with immense gratitude, so moved he was about to cry.

Su Meng hadn't expected that there would be a mole on her side.

Watching this pair of lovebirds looking so deeply in love before her eyes.

Su Meng actually felt that she had become that damned monk who ruins relationships instead.

Shen Huai cast a meaningful glance at Su Meng.

He pulled down a bottle of beer with one hand: "Since Fu Hai has already completed the task, I'll drink this beer by myself."

"No—"

Before Su Meng could speak, Shen Huai tilted his head back and began to drink.

The beer formed a small vortex inside the bottle.

Shen Huai had no expression, and he didn't even frown.

In the blink of an eye.

An entire bottle of beer was drunk clean by Shen Huai.

The drink was finished, and this round of the game was settled.

Su Meng leaned back into her chair with extreme reluctance, her disappointment fully displayed in her eyes.

"This time, it's my turn."

After finishing the beer, Shen Huai's complexion showed no change.

He slowly pinched the chopstick used for the game and gave it a light spin on the table.

This time, the tip of the chopstick stopped faster than ever before.

It pointed almost precisely at Shen Huai himself.

Seeing this scene.

Shen Huai blinked, a flash of suspicion crossing his eyes.

He picked up the chopstick without a word and spun it again.

The result remained the same.

"It's been you twice in a row, are you trying to welch on the deal?"

Su Meng urged him impatiently, reaching out to snatch the chopstick from Shen Huai's hand.

Unexpectedly.

Shen Huai switched the chopstick to his other hand and raised it, nimbly dodging Su Meng's lunging hand.

He suspiciously weighed the chopstick in his hand.

He looked carefully at both ends of the chopsticks.

The next moment.

Shen Huai suddenly curled his lips into a cunning smile, his gaze quietly falling upon the left hand that Su Meng had been gripping tightly the entire time.

"I was wondering why we always lose."

"The other end of these chopsticks is actually magnetic."

"Su Meng, I never expected that someone who looks as upright as you would actually cheat~"
