“If you're not happy, how about I help you?”
Serena's lips parted slightly as she looked at him in disbelief.
“You, what are you talking about?”
“If you need it, I can serve you too.”
Serena's face was flushed as she grabbed his collar, shouting and shaking him vigorously.
“You, if you ever dare to mention this again, I will never forgive you, ah ah ah ah!”
“Okay, okay, I won't say it, okay!” Yarrow said quickly.
“Humph!”
Serena released him forcefully, her face still flushed and slightly panting.
“Before, before that was because of me, my problem caused you to become like that, so that was just compensation, you, you are not allowed to tell anyone about this in the future, not to anyone!”
“Actually, I just wanted to care about you,” Yarrow said tentatively.
“After all, after all, yesterday was indeed a bit too much.”
His gaze lingered on Serena's neck and ears, where there were still marks he had made.
A wound could still be seen at the corner of her mouth.
“No, no need.” Serena turned her head away, her eyes lowered: “Anyway, I brought it on myself.”
Both sides fell silent.
After a while, Yarrow said:
“Does your throat still hurt?”
“I told you not to say it!” Serena glared over immediately.
Yarrow raised his hand and made a sealing motion in front of his mouth.
Only then did Serena withdraw her gaze, huffing unhappily.
Pursing her lips, she crossed her arms and asked in a slightly stern tone:
“Also, you actually went on a date with everyone yesterday, right?”
“Ah?” Yarrow looked at her in surprise.
“You know?”
“We've lived under the same roof for so long, how could I not know about this?” Serena said unhappily.
“That can't be helped,” Yarrow sighed helplessly.
“After all, everyone has reasons they can't refuse. If I refused, it would definitely be even more upsetting.”
He spread his hands and said:
“I want everyone to be happy.”
Serena's mouth twitched: “You really are gentle.”
“Also…”
She changed the subject, raised one hand, and poked his chest twice:
“How much of your weekend homework have you done now?”
“Crap… I haven't touched a single word.”
Yarrow's heart tightened. He was just thinking about making everyone happy, but he completely forgot about the homework.
“Um, Serena…”
He spoke in a pleading tone.
“Don't try that on me,” Serena crossed her arms and raised her chin.
“Don't even think that I'll let you copy. I'll just guide you a little.”
Yarrow looked at her current arrogant appearance, and then recalled her appearance last night when her head was being pressed down, a complete mess…
For some reason, he felt a little excited.
Night,
“Finally finished writing, so tiring.”
Yarrow threw the quill into the ink bottle, stretched, and yawned.
He looked at the time, it was only 8:30. He could still play for two more hours tonight.
Rubbing his shoulders, he went downstairs and came to the living room.
He saw Ji Xiaofei, Tao Hu, and Lulu La gathered there, but they weren't playing the usual hero board game, but a spinning wheel game.
“What are you guys playing?” he stepped forward and asked.
“Yarrow.”
Ji Xiaofei turned her head: “We're playing Truth or Dare. It's Tao Hu's turn now.”
“Truth or Dare?”
Yarrow didn't expect to hear the name of this game in this world.
He leaned forward and saw three spinning wheels surrounded by the three girls.
One spinning wheel had the names of the three people on it. Whoever it landed on had to choose whether to spin the Truth wheel or the Dare wheel.
At this time, the pointer on the name wheel was pointing to Tao Hu's name.
“Then I'll choose Truth!” Tao Hu said.
She spun the wheel, the pointer spun rapidly, stopped, and the Truth content it pointed to was:
“What is your least favorite food?”
“This…” Tao Hu touched her smooth chin and thought for a moment, “It's fish mint, I guess. No matter how this food is made, it's really hard to swallow.”
“Xiaoji too!” Ji Xiaofei said in agreement, then turned to look at Yarrow:
“Yarrow, do you want to play together too?”
“Me?”
Yarrow became interested. He had just finished his homework and could relax a bit, so he sat down with them.
He wrote Yarrow's name and stuck it on the spinning wheel.
The wheel spun, and after a few seconds, the pointer landed on Lulu La's name.
“It's Lulu La! Truth or Dare?” Xiaoji asked.
“This…” Lulu La's eyes wandered over the two wheels, and finally she decided: “Truth.”
She spun the Truth wheel, and after a moment, the pointer stopped, and the content on it was:
“Name the two things you are most afraid of right now.”
Everyone's eyes were focused on her.
“This… One is scary-looking undead, and the other is…”
Lulu La scratched her head embarrassedly: “Zexia.”
“Pfft.”
Yarrow couldn't help but laugh.
“You…” Lulu La said慌忙: “Yarrow, you're not allowed to tell Zexia, or I'll be…”
“Got it, got it, I won't say it.” Yarrow comforted her.
“Sister Zexia is actually quite gentle, she's just a bit quiet usually.” Ji Xiaofei said.
“But she just likes to tease me.” Lulu La said dejectedly.
Zexia's relationship with everyone is okay now, but because she still has a filter from the past for Lulu La, she speaks with a bit of edge.
Last night, she was still clamoring to pick Lulu La's watermelon, which only intensified the little snake's fear.
After a round of complaints, the game continued:
Next, the pointer stopped in front of Yarrow's name.
“Me? Um, then I'll choose Dare.” Yarrow said.
He spun the Dare wheel.
The pointer spun rapidly, and finally stopped, the content was:
“'Wall slam' someone you think is the most serious person for seven seconds.”
“Um?”
Everyone looked at each other. The content of this dare was a bit strange, after all, none of the three girls present could be associated with the word 'serious'.
“Ya, ya, why don't you just treat me as the person to wall slam.” Tao Hu suddenly said, patting her chest, and said to Yarrow:
“Yarrow, just treat me as that kind of serious uncle who doesn't smile!”
“What you just said has nothing to do with 'serious'.” Yarrow said.
Just then, an unhappy voice came from the side:
“Yarrow, you're playing games again? Is your homework finished? And there's a weekly exam next week, if you don't revise, you'll be back in tutoring classes!”
It was Serena, frowning with one hand on her hip, looking at him with displeasure.
The others exchanged glances, instantly reaching a consensus.
So Yarrow stood up and walked towards Serena.
“Hurry back, I can still help you... You, what are you doing?”
Serena, mid-sentence, suddenly felt that Yarrow, walking towards her, was acting strangely, as if he was being aggressive.
Yarrow approached her, suddenly pushed her against the wall, then forcefully put his hand up to brace it next to her head, staring at her intently.
Serena's mind went blank, she could even feel Yarrow's breath.
Her previous stern expression crumbled, her fair face now flushed red, both shy, flustered, and surprised.
The newest novels are first published on !
“Yarrow, you…”
“Don't speak,” Yarrow said sternly.
“Eh?”
She was at a loss, speechless, and pinned against the wall, afraid to move, unsure of what Yarrow wanted to do to her.
Wasn't she just advising him to study? Did he have to get so angry?
Or did he want to get intimate here?
But everyone was still watching!
“One, two, three…”
Yarrow suddenly counted in a low voice.
Before Serena understood what he meant, Yarrow finished counting to seven and then moved his arm away.
“Thanks for cooperating,” he said with a smile.
Serena looked blank.
“What are you doing!”
“We're playing Truth or Dare! Serena, join us!” Ji Xiaofei said, raising her hand.
“Truth or Dare…”
Hearing the name, Serena smiled weakly.
She thought this guy had suddenly gone crazy, but it turned out he was playing this.
He's really like a child.
“Forget it, I'm busy,” she said, waving her hand, intending to go upstairs.
“Yeah, Xiaoji, let's leave Serena out of it, after all, some secrets can't be revealed,” Yarrow chuckled.
“Don't try to provoke me,” Serena turned her head and glared at him.
“Serena.”
Ji Xiaofei ran over and grabbed Serena's hand.
“You haven't played with us in ages, come play with us tonight.”
“Yeah, Serena, anyway, this isn't like a tabletop RPG, there's no barrier to entry, and it's really fun,” Tao Hu also persuaded.
“Come on, I want to play games with Serena too,” Lulu La said excitedly.
Everyone spoke, and Serena looked at everyone with a complicated expression, pursed her lips, and said:
“Okay, then, just two rounds.”
“Yay!”
Xiaoji pulled Serena's hand and led her over, Serena sat between Lulu La and Yarrow.
“Hey, don't try to weasel out if you encounter some sensitive topics,” Yarrow whispered in her ear.
“Shut up!” Serena scolded him in a low voice, her face slightly red.
Xiaoji spun the roulette, and the next name stopped on Serena's name tag.
“Truth or Dare?”
Serena's gaze wandered between the two roulettes, and after roughly looking at the content, she made a decision:
“Truth.”
She spun the roulette, and soon the pointer stopped:
“Tell us the most embarrassing thing you've ever done.”
Everyone's eyes focused on Serena.
Yarrow blew a teasing whistle.
“What, what is this! How can you even ask about such personal privacy…” she said, embarrassed and annoyed.
“Isn't that what this game is about? If it's not a little exciting, wouldn't it be too boring?” Yarrow said, “Hurry up, hurry up.”
Serena glared at him unhappily, looking at the expectant crowd, and said softly:
“The most embarrassing thing I've ever done is…” she hesitated a few times and said, “Sneaking sweets in the middle of the night.”
“Eh~ Serena is so sneaky! You never let me eat them!” Ji Xiaofei said, dissatisfied.
“Hey, that doesn't seem to be it, does it?” Yarrow also said, dissatisfied.
“Then what do you say it is?” Serena said to him.
Yarrow couldn't say what it was either.
“Continue, continue!”
Just as they were about to continue, a question came from behind:
“What are you doing?”
It was Zexia, holding a large tray of snacks and drinks, intending to go upstairs, obviously ready for a passionate night life.
“We're playing Truth or Dare, Zexia, do you want to join?” Yarrow asked casually, but he knew Zexia wasn't interested in this kind of game.
“Oh? I've seen this game in books before, it's my first time seeing it in real life.”
Unexpectedly, Zexia became interested and walked over, putting down the snacks and drinks.
“I happen to be very free, this king wants to join!”
“That's great!”
Xiaoji was very happy and immediately added Zexia's name tag, after all, the more people play this kind of game, the better.
Zexia sat on the sofa on the side, indicating that they could continue.
The roulette spun, and the pointer pointed at Yarrow's name tag again.
“It's Yarrow again! Truth or Dare?”
“Truth!”
He had already chosen Dare once, so this time he decided to challenge Truth.
Just as he was about to spin the roulette, Zexia spoke up.
“Wait a minute.”
She stopped him and then snapped her fingers.
A white, misty creature rose above their heads, swaying slowly.
“What is this?”
“A lie detection spirit, a type of summon, its function is very simple, it detects who is lying, and the liar will immediately trigger an alarm,” Zexia leaned back on the sofa, curling the corners of her mouth.
“This king thinks that since we're going to play this, then no one can lie, otherwise the fun of the game itself will be lost.”
“Do you have to be so serious?” Yarrow said helplessly.
“Wow…” Xiaoji said excitedly,
“The game has become even more exciting.”
While everyone was observing the summoned spirit, Serena was the only one who froze there.
“A, a lie detection spirit?”
She felt like her heart had been torn out.
