Su Cheng knew that tonight was destined to be anything but peaceful.
Just like now, the pressure he was under was immense.
The dare was for him to tell President Ji and Gu Ruoxue that he had been having a great time with three girls late at night.
What a boastful and mocking dare this was!
If he had to describe it…
It was like the bull openly mocking the cuckold.
Never mind President Ji, he didn’t even have Gu Ruoxue’s contact information. However, he knew that as soon as he explained, that troublemaker Liu Qingyue would give it to him.
In any case, it truly lived up to being a dare.
It really was a damn dare!
In this world, probably no one could be this brave.
“Damn Liu Qingyue.”
Thinking of this, Su Cheng couldn’t help but grit his teeth and glare at Liu Qingyue beside him.
He knew all of this was thanks to her.
Originally, he had a diligent female classmate and a tsundere, cute female neighbor, and life was already blissful. But who would have thought that Liu Qingyue would come barging in, teaming up with the two of them, acting without regard for anything, taking over his house and stealing his joy—it was infuriating!
“What’s wrong? Does junior think the game is too much?”
Liu Qingyue stood to the side, arms crossed, smiling as she asked. The other two girls also looked on with great interest.
Su Cheng forced himself to stay calm but still shook his head, putting on a serious expression. “I’m a man of principles. Playing games is fine, but it shouldn’t affect others. So, on the grounds of it being inappropriate, I refuse this dare!”
“Oh? Is that so?”
Liu Qingyue shrugged, looking disappointed, but it seemed she had anticipated Su Cheng’s response. She continued, “Then what do you plan to do about it?”
Finally, Su Cheng took a deep breath, lowered his head, and said in a deep voice, “In that case, let’s go back to Truth. I choose Truth!”
After saying this, he turned to look at Cornelia beside him.
He had decided to win Cornelia over.
Since they had pushed Cornelia forward, as long as he made her happy and satisfied, she would immediately side with him.
His gaze instantly made Cornelia blush, her beautiful eyes trembling. She lowered her head, shyly saying, “Alright then, Truth it is. But you can’t cheat this time, okay?”
“Don’t worry, my word is my bond!”
With that, he smiled and looked at Liu Qingyue.
Cornelia had actually agreed without consulting the other two.
Truly, success and failure both lay with Cornelia.
“So, the same question as before—who do you like?”
Cornelia completely ignored the gazes of the other two girls, staring straight at Su Cheng, her eyes filled with intense anticipation.
“What if I describe her with four main traits?”
Su Cheng continued to look directly at Cornelia, as if the four of them had now become just the two of them, as if he were telling Cornelia that all four traits were about her.
Sure enough, Cornelia seemed to have entered a strange world of just the two of them, completely ignoring the others, not even glancing at Liu Qingyue, who was desperately trying to catch her eye.
Instead, she nodded excitedly.
“She usually likes to wear stockings.”
Suddenly, Su Cheng decisively stated the first trait.
The three girls were stunned. Li Guanqi and Liu Qingyue already knew what Su Cheng was up to.
He was going to list traits that applied to everyone.
That way, he could escape unscathed.
But Cornelia alone was overjoyed because she was the one who usually wore stockings. Clearly, Su Cheng was talking about her.
Especially since he was looking right at her. Who else could he be talking about?
“She has a good relationship with me, and we talk every day.”
“She often helps me out, solving a lot of my problems.”
“There are no secrets between us, and we get along easily and happily.”
As Su Cheng finished listing the four traits, Liu Qingyue and Li Guanqi exchanged glances, both seeing resignation in each other’s eyes.
However, noticing the situation wasn’t going well, Liu Qingyue opened another bottle of Eight Walnuts.
And this time, she didn’t use the pull tab but instead forcefully pried the lid open with her fingers.
This scene made Su Cheng subconsciously swallow.
Meanwhile, Cornelia was both excited and thrilled, almost jumping for joy because everything Su Cheng said was about her!
No wonder she was so excited—this was practically a confession!
At the same time, Liu Qingyue handed the drink to Cornelia and, with a smile, reminded her, “He went off-topic.”
Cornelia was startled, instinctively taking the drink, then looked at Su Cheng, who was still gazing at her tenderly.
Just as she was about to take a sip, Su Cheng suddenly said, “Should I list ten more traits?”
“Ten?”
Cornelia stopped mid-sip, looking up at Su Cheng in surprise.
Liu Qingyue and Li Guanqi were also stunned, staring at Su Cheng as if he had gone mad.
Su Cheng smiled gently, his gaze growing even more tender.
It was a tenderness that seemed capable of melting someone’s heart.
Cornelia felt her entire heart melting.
Su Cheng continued, “She gives off a pure, clean, self-respecting, shy, conservative, virtuous, homemaking, first-kiss-still-intact, chaste, self-disciplined, kind, and noble-hearted vibe—she fits all of these.”
Hearing this, Cornelia felt as if she had been struck by Cupid’s arrow, her entire body trembling, her jaw nearly dropping.
She looked at Su Cheng in disbelief.
What had he just said?!
In his eyes, she had so many wonderful labels!!
Cornelia’s face turned as red as if it were about to bleed. She lowered her head, her eyes filled with barely contained excitement and happiness.
“Um, I…”
Cornelia opened her mouth to say something but found herself at a loss for words, while Su Cheng continued to look at her with that same gaze.
Su Cheng tilted his head, gazing deeply into her eyes, saying nothing, just looking, with a faint hint of restraint and sorrow in his expression.
Finally, unable to withstand it any longer, she ‘whooshed’ into the bedroom, jumped onto the bed, pulled the covers over herself, and trembled with excitement under the blanket.
Watching her retreating figure, Su Cheng’s lips curled into a triumphant smile. He then crossed his legs, picked up the untouched drink on the table, and downed it in one go.
A true “no one gets hurt” world had been achieved!
Since they were looking for fun, he gave them fun. Thus, the “life-threatening question” had turned into a “gift question.”
“Junior, it seems we really underestimated you!”
Liu Qingyue couldn’t help but quietly praise him. Since they had pushed Cornelia forward, and he had managed to win her over, there was nothing else they could do now.
“But…”
Suddenly, she paused, then looked at Li Guanqi with a teasing smile. “What do you think, junior sister?”
Li Guanqi glanced at Su Cheng, then nodded. “You didn’t directly answer Cornelia’s question but instead used a roundabout tactic, so you went off-topic.”
At this, Su Cheng felt his head spinning, but he remained calm. “So, what do you plan to do?”
Liu Qingyue raised an eyebrow, then looked at Li Guanqi. “Isn’t it simple?”
Li Guanqi nodded. “Mhm.”
“Of course, punish you.”
Liu Qingyue smiled brightly, looking at Su Cheng. “Since you don’t want to contact President Ji and Junior Sister Gu, your punishment is that you’re not allowed to use your phone or contact anyone for the entire day tomorrow.”
“That’s it?”
Su Cheng was somewhat surprised. Were they really letting him off so easily?
“Do you object?”
“No.”
Su Cheng shook his head and readily agreed. “I accept!”
“Put it in your system space.”
Liu Qingyue added softly.
“Sure, no problem.”
Su Cheng nodded without hesitation. Though he felt something was off and suspected some kind of scheme, he figured Liu Qingyue probably knew he often said goodnight to President Ji, so this was her way of getting back at him.
But he couldn’t quite guess what Liu Qingyue was really thinking. In any case, he just wouldn’t use his phone for the day and would explain it to President Ji tomorrow.
“Well, it’s getting late. You all should go to bed soon!”
Su Cheng yawned and urged everyone to rest, then stood up herself.
"Was today exciting and thrilling?"
Liu Qingyue asked with a smile.
Su Cheng nodded directly: "Yes, very exciting and thrilling. Anyway, I’m going to bed now."
She placed her phone into her system space in front of the two and then headed toward her room.
"Goodnight."
"See you tomorrow."
Liu Qingyue and Li Guanqi exchanged a glance, then waved at Su Cheng, watching her retreating figure with a hint of mischief in their eyes.
At night, the stars were dazzling, and the moonlight was bright.
Nothing particularly exciting happened during the night.
Although it was a somewhat disappointing story, Su Cheng managed to get a good night's sleep because of it.
The next morning, at 5:30 AM.
The diligent "Chef Liu," "Chef Li," and "Chef William" were already busy in the kitchen, each occupied with their tasks.
Perhaps Su Cheng had forgotten, but for them, today was an extremely special day.
*The special day of a special person.*
Su Cheng's birthday.
At this moment, Liu Qingyue was preparing a lavish breakfast.
At this moment, Li Guanqi was preparing a lavish lunch.
At this moment, William, looking half-asleep, was assisting them.
The excitement from the previous day had kept her up all night.
Everyone was quietly and busily going about their tasks.
What they wanted now was for Su Cheng to have a good day of rest.
"Could you go wake Su Cheng up?"
After working for a while, Chef Liu placed three exquisite breakfast dishes on the table and called out to Cornelia.
"Huh? Oh."
William responded groggily, then turned and headed toward Su Cheng's bedroom.
When she knocked on the door, Cornelia hesitated, unsure whether she should knock or not. But then, thinking about how amusing it would be to see Su Cheng woken up, she gritted her teeth and reached out to grasp the doorknob.
*Creak.*
The door opened.
Cornelia was slightly surprised to see the drowsy young man on the bed, and her breath quickened.
Finally, she tiptoed in, gently closed the door, and walked over to Su Cheng's bedside. Just as she was about to take a closer look at him—
Suddenly, there was another knock at the door.
*Knock knock~*
"Time to get up~"
Cornelia was startled and quickly ducked behind the computer desk, cautiously peeking out to look at Su Cheng. She saw him open his eyes, stretch, and slowly sit up, rubbing his sleepy eyes, clearly still not fully awake.
"Hmm... What time is it?"
His voice was hoarse and lazy.
"It's six o'clock!"
Cornelia instinctively answered, but as soon as the words left her mouth, she realized her mistake. Her cheeks instantly turned red, and she covered her mouth, inwardly scolding herself: "Why did I blurt that out?!"
In an instant—
The air was filled with awkwardness and embarrassment.
Their eyes met.
Su Cheng also felt a bit awkward, but he forced himself to stay calm and looked at Cornelia with feigned composure, asking, "Were you planning to watch a handsome guy wake up?"
"No! I wasn’t!"
Cornelia quickly shook her head in denial, then hurriedly added, "Well... actually, I... I just..."
"Got it!"
Before Cornelia could finish, Su Cheng cut her off, then waved his hand: "Why don’t you get out now?"
Hearing this, Cornelia immediately bolted out of the room like a pardoned prisoner, quickly closing the door behind her. She leaned against the wall, breathing heavily, her deer-like eyes filled with shock and panic.
After a while, she glared angrily at Li Guanqi, realizing that the knocking had been his doing.
"I thought you went back to sleep."
Li Guanqi replied indifferently, his expression unchanged, not even pausing his work or looking at Cornelia.
"Who said I went to sleep?!"
Cornelia snapped back, annoyed.
Cornelia and Li Guanqi had already changed into their school uniforms, while Liu Qingyue still wore her glasses, maintaining her image as the caring big sister.
It seemed she intended to keep up this persona when dealing with Cornelia.
"You’re all up already? Good morning~"
At that moment, Su Cheng, now fully dressed, looked at the three of them in surprise and greeted them awkwardly.
"Yeah, we’re up," Li Guanqi replied, pausing his work to nod.
Liu Qingyue smiled: "Breakfast is ready. Go wash up."
"Just now... I only wanted to wake you up," Cornelia said awkwardly, nodding.
"Oh, okay, got it!"
Su Cheng glanced at the three of them, nodded, and then headed into the bathroom.
Once Su Cheng was in the bathroom, Liu Qingyue looked up at the two girls and said seriously, "Don’t forget what we discussed yesterday."
"Don’t worry, I won’t slip up," Cornelia immediately affirmed.
"Junior, make sure to keep an eye out at school this morning. I’ll be there in the afternoon," Liu Qingyue said, turning to Li Guanqi.
Li Guanqi nodded.
A few minutes later—
Su Cheng came out of the bathroom and, upon seeing the breakfast on the table, exclaimed in surprise, joking, "So lavish! Is it someone’s birthday or something?"
Instantly, the atmosphere in the room turned strange.
