Chapter 344

~12 min read 2,288 words

Seeing Gong Ying enter and sit side-by-side with Zhu Lin, the chicken cubes on Wei Ming's chopsticks slipped off directly. He was nervous.

And a little excited!

This was the first time Wei Ming had seen the living Gong Ying and Zhu Lin sitting together. It was simply breathtakingly beautiful, and it had him intoxicated.

One had willow-leaf eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a delicate beauty like a fine-brush painting of a Jiangnan lady.

One had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes with a high, elegant nose bridge, majestic and solemn like a Bodhisattva in the Dunhuang murals.

In his past life, the two had indeed had occasions to be on the same stage. When the Film Performing Arts Association was established, Gong Ying was the host and Zhu Lin performed a dance, but they didn't appear in the same frame, which was truly a pity.

Thinking that these two people were both his girlfriends, Wei Ming felt that whatever famous writer, whatever Fairy Tale King, whatever musical talent—those were all unimportant. They were the greatest harvest of his rebirth!

"Ma Xiaowei, are you feeling very smug right now?" Zhu Lin suddenly said, her smile containing hidden, biting murderous intent.

"No, I feel deeply apologetic." Wei Ming warned himself: don't smile, absolutely don't smile, don't be ungrateful after getting the advantage, must show his remorse and pain.

Under the table, Gong Ying gently pulled Zhu Lin's hand, meaning don't scare the child.

Zhu Lin hated her for being spineless: just keep spoiling him!

At this moment, Wei Ming suddenly got up and left, returning to the study to get a camera. Now he had a camera and several rolls of film in every home; he had already achieved photography freedom.

"I want to take a group photo of you two, is that okay?"

This scene was too beautiful; Wei Ming couldn't help it. Of course, there were even more beautiful ones, but he could only think about them.

Hearing about taking a photo, the two actresses immediately instinctively tidied up their appearances, and a sense of competition arose instantly.

Then, the first group photo of the Southern Gong Ying and Northern Zhu Lin was frozen on the small piece of film, finally making up for this historical blank.

Wei Ming took several shots in a row, but it was a pity it was night. He must take another set when the light was good during the day.

When he put the camera away, Zhu Lin took a bottle of Lao Bai Gan that had been half-drunk before from the kitchen. The liquor was put here by Wei Ming, but it was drunk by Zhu Lin and Gong Ying.

During the time Ma Xiaowei went to Hong Kong and the UK, the two didn't drink less to drown their sorrows, and then spoke the truth after drinking, which greatly deepened their understanding of each other.

"This is the first time the three of us have sat at one table to eat. I'm leaving tomorrow, and I don't know when I'll see you next time. How about we have some?" Zhu Lin suggested.

On the scene, only she could drink a bit more; after all, the blood of Shandong people flowed in her bones. Wei Ming and Gong Ying's tolerance for alcohol was average, but no one objected.

In such an alternative three-person relationship, I'm afraid it would always be very awkward without drinking some alcohol. At this time, alcohol became a good thing.

The three had just raised their glasses when the phone rang.

Wei Ming turned to answer the phone.

"Big Brother." It was the voice of Mei Wenhua.

"What's up?"

"Do you know? That thief and murderer Feng Daxing, whom I caught when I acted bravely for a just cause before, has already been shot." Mei Wenhua said excitedly.

"Isn't that something from the beginning of the month? Don't you read the newspaper?"

"I do, but I read expired newspapers. I only know now, hahaha."

"Anything else?"

"No."

"Then I'm hanging up." Wei Ming didn't hesitate.

Hearing the "beep-beep" sound on the phone, Mei Wenhua said to Xu Yunyun, who was worried on the side: "Don't worry, he's still alive."

It turned out that Xu Yunyun was sitting on her balcony, first seeing Wei Ming and Zhu Lin come back together, and then seeing Gong Ying also ride over on a bike.

She panicked instantly. Also, pregnancy makes one stupid for three years; she didn't know to call her brother to remind him, but instead called Oriental New World, calling Mei Wenhua back to let him help think of an idea.

Then Mei Wenhua said: "How about calling Big Brother."

"Right, remind him!" Xu Yunyun's IQ finally came online.

Mei Wenhua thought, remind him of what? It's already this late, it's just to see if they started fighting, if there were any casualties.

Listening to his brother-in-law's voice, it was still quite calm. It seems he can still control the situation. He is worthy of being my Brother Ming!

When Wei Ming returned to the table, Zhu Lin and Gong Ying's glasses were already empty.

Wei Ming was stunned: "You finished drinking?"

Zhu Lin: "Right, downed it in one gulp, it's your turn."

Gong Ying also nodded, and wiped her mouth.

Although Wei Ming suspected they were scamming him, he still drank it crisply. As a man, could he still suffer a loss?

After finishing this glass of wine, he filled it up for the three again: "I'll propose one too. Being able to know you two is my, Wei Ming's, fortune for two lifetimes."

Zhu Lin: "Wait, isn't it usually fortune for three lifetimes?"

Wei Ming: "If I can know you in the next life, that would be fortune for three lifetimes. I hope I can have fortune for three lifetimes."

In the first life, Wei Ming only had a few chance encounters with Zhu Lin but didn't know her deeply. At that time, she was a long-established old artist, and Gong Ying also retired from the circle early. It was a pity they missed each other.

In the second life, he met them, and then grasped the opportunity, not letting them slip away from his side, and what he had to do next was to keep them.

These words moved Zhu Lin and Gong Ying a little. Did the stinky brat promise a love for the next life? They also drank a small sip.

Wei Ming was anxious when he saw this: "Eh eh eh, I downed mine, why did you only drink so little?"

Zhu Lin filled it up for him: "The first glass is fine downed, let's drink slowly later, chat slowly. Little Xue, you say a few words too."

Gong Ying lowered her head and looked at the glass: "Can I say anything?"

Zhu Lin: "Of course, speak your mind."

Gong Ying pursed her lips and said: "Ma Xiaowei, do you like me a little more, or do you like Sister Lin a little more? You can't say you like us the same."

Zhu Lin smiled and looked at Wei Ming: "Come, please answer directly. If you can't answer, then toast."

Wei Ming could see it now, these two women were deliberately setting a trap for him today.

"Toast then toast." Wei Ming downed it in one gulp. Let's see who's anxious when I can't get up later.

After drinking three glasses, Wei Ming hurriedly ate some food to press it down, and then said sincerely: "If you have any more questions, feel free to come."

After speaking, he filled it up for himself again.

Don't talk about drinking some white liquor, even if he was made to drink mung bean milk, this was what he deserved to suffer.

Gong Ying felt a bit sorry for her good younger brother. Seeing his resolute appearance, Zhu Lin also hummed: "Not fun, eat eat, sleep after eating."

Wei Ming laughed: "Want fun, right? Should have said so earlier. I have many fun little games here, very conducive to enhancing friendship. Do you want to play?"

The two women looked at each other. Even though they knew it definitely wasn't any serious game, they both nodded.

Zhu Lin said: "Play then play."

Wei Ming: "Eat first, go play on the bed after eating."

Zhu Lin said seriously: "Ma Xiaowei, don't push your luck."

Gong Ying also said: "Right, you can't rely on us liking you to trample on us like that."

Wei Ming: "Two sisters, you're overthinking it. Isn't the Simmons mattress comfortable? If you don't mind it being hard on your butt, the floor is fine too."

Gong Ying and Zhu Lin started eye contact again, finally unifying their thoughts: we must hold the bottom line, absolutely cannot let him succeed.

Wei Ming said again: "Sister Xue, should you change your clothes? You aren't very casual like this."

Wei Ming and Zhu Lin had both changed into pajamas and nightgowns they usually wore to sleep, very loose and thin.

"Got it, I'll change in a while."

After eating, when Gong Ying came out in a silk nightgown, she saw Wei Ming brushing his teeth.

"Why are you brushing your teeth?"

Wei Ming rinsed his mouth and said: "Sleep after playing for a while, can wash up now, you come too."

Zhu Lin stretched her neck and looked at the bathroom: "I'll wash the plates and bowls first."

Thus, Wei Ming pushed Gong Ying to wash up, and in this process, he wasn't idle either; hugging and holding were definitely indispensable.

The bathroom was diagonally opposite the kitchen. Gong Ying shyly and vigilantly paid attention to the movement outside, fearing being seen by Zhu Lin, but never thought of refusing Wei Ming.

Because when it was just the two of them, this was their habitual mode of getting along.

After Gong Ying finished brushing her teeth, Wei Ming immediately checked her mouth, and only then let Gong Ying go, letting her swap Zhu Lin over.

Sister Xue was angry, stomped her feet, but still went over. If it wasn't for her and Zhu Lin discussing giving this brat some sweetness, she definitely wouldn't have agreed.

After Zhu Lin came over, she picked up the toothbrush and started brushing. Wei Ming hugged her from behind. The ground was relatively slippery, and he played a role in stabilizing and preventing falling.

And when the two came out of the bathroom, they almost bumped into Gong Ying at the door. Finally, the three sat on the big Simmons bed with red faces.

Wei Ming said seriously: "I think one must be honest, and also have the courage to be fearless. So the game we are going to play next is called Truth or Dare."

This social game shouldn't have appeared yet. Wei Ming could be considered the originator, and this kind of game could be played dirty or clean, and one could grasp it oneself.

Wei Ming took out a deck of poker cards and explained the rules to them: "One card per person. The person with the smallest number can choose two challenges, Truth or Dare, and then the person with the highest number sets the question. The person with the smallest number must complete the Truth or Dare, otherwise, self-punish with a glass."

There was also liquor and glasses on the nightstand.

They understood. Gong Ying asked: "How to judge if there's lying in that Truth?"

Wei Ming: "The rule is one must tell the truth. If you don't want to say, you can drink, but lying is a character issue."

Hearing him pull it to such a serious issue as character, Gong Ying and Zhu Lin both started to take it seriously.

Wei Ming: "Good, let's demonstrate once for the first time, not for real."

He drew a nine, Zhu Lin a six, Gong Ying a three.

Wei Ming pointed at Gong Ying, she said: "Truth then."

Wei Ming: "Do you think Sister Lin is better looking or you are better looking?"

Gong Ying didn't expect the stinky brat to modify the difficult question he had before and return it.

Gong Ying looked at Zhu Lin and said seriously: "The truth is she is better looking, because I see myself too much usually, and always feel there are still shortcomings. Looking at others' faces, I am more willing to see others' strengths."

Zhu Lin immediately took Gong Ying's hand: "If I encountered this question, my answer would be Little Xue. I quite like the charm of Jiangnan beauties."

Wei Ming looked at their clasped hands and coughed twice: "You two aren't even hiding it from people, right? I'm still here."

The more he said that, the tighter Zhu Lin and Gong Ying held each other. The two women laughed triumphantly, as if working together to make Ma Xiaowei suffer.

But in reality, Wei Ming was also helping them unite. The more united they were, the more reluctant they would be to separate when the three-year period arrived.

"Alright, let's officially start." Wei Ming shuffled the cards, and everyone drew cards again.

Wei Ming drew an Ace: "Haha, I'm the biggest."

Zhu Lin: "That's a 1, should be the smallest."

Gong Ying helped: "Exactly, exactly."

Wei Ming didn't argue with them about such small details. He took a look; Zhu Lin was a 7, the biggest number.

"I choose Dare," Wei Ming said crisply.

Zhu Lin was a bit excited. Oh my, what should I let him do?

The difficulty of this Dare was worth studying. If it was too hard, it was equivalent to forcing him to drink; if it was too simple, it was boring.

Suddenly, Zhu Lin looked at the opposite side through the curtains.
