Chi Ye instinctively covered his injured forehead, his hand covered in blood. He looked at him in shock, his eyes sharp as swords.
"You dare hit me?" Chi Ye gritted his teeth in anger, ready to pounce for a life-and-death fight. He had never lost a fight, not even with his own brother.
"Xiaoye, what are you doing?" Mother Chi called out loudly. When Chi Ye turned around, he saw Mother Chi looking dumbstruck.
Mother Chi hurried over, worried, "What... what happened? Why is there blood?"
Her eyes were filled with pain and concern.
Chi Ye glanced at Chi Yu, and Mother Chi followed his gaze to Chi Yu. "Xiaoyu, what are you doing? Even hitting your younger brother? How could you do that?"
Chi Yu shrugged nonchalantly on the sofa, showing no remorse. "He had it coming. Who told him to run his mouth?"
Chi Ye pretended to be aggrieved, his eyes welling up with a few tears as he whined, "Mom, it hurts so much."
Mother Chi patted Chi Ye's back soothingly. "My dear son, it must hurt a lot. Come, let me bandage it for you."
After saying that, she helped Chi Ye downstairs. Suddenly, she turned her gaze back to Chi Yu, her look commanding. "Xiaoyu, you need to reflect on yourself. You're grown up, yet you're so unreasonable."
Chi Ye's mouth curled into a triumphant smile.
Chi Yu didn’t miss that smile. He clenched his fists, his forehead twitching with veins, his gaze dark and deep.
After work, Chi Ye went out with colleagues to unwind. They all ended up at the famous "Half-Asleep VIP Club" in Yanjing City—three men and two women.
They were all from the same department and were quite familiar with each other. Gao Zhenni, dressed fashionably and elegantly, said, "Ye-ge, let’s have a good drink later."
Gao Zhenni was a year younger than him, just starting her internship. She had wavy hair like seaweed, fair skin, and long, slender legs, rivaling even big celebrities.
Chi Ye raised an eyebrow and playfully winked. "OK." He also made an "OK" gesture.
Gao Zhenni smiled, her eyes twinkling, her lips curling up.
"Hey, why only drink with Xiaoye? What about us? Nini, if you do this, we’ll get jealous," one of the male colleagues, Xiao B, teased.
Gao Zhenni smiled lightly, her lips slightly parted. "Alright, we’ll all drink together. Let’s drink until we’re all drunk."
"That’s the spirit!" Female colleague Xiao A grinned and linked arms with Gao Zhenni.
Gao Zhenni couldn’t help but glance at Chi Ye, noticing he was silently drinking and seemed uninterested in her.
Realizing this, Gao Zhenni frowned, shaking her head. Tonight, she had been approached ten times and rejected ten times by handsome young men.
Although those men were outstanding—IT professionals, finance elites, young entrepreneurs—she wasn’t interested in them. Her thoughts were entirely focused on Chi Ye.
Gao Zhenni refocused. They were about to play dice, and suddenly Xiao A loudly suggested, "Why don’t we play Truth or Dare?"
Xiao B raised his hand in agreement, excitedly adding, "Great! Anyone who refuses to play is a traitor. That person will have to pay for all the expenses tonight. I don’t think anyone will back out."
Xiao C laughed and tapped Xiao B on the head. "Isn’t that moral coercion?"
Xiao B acted dumbfounded. "Really? I don’t see it that way."
Chi Ye gave a cold glance, casually saying, "Not playing is being a dog."
Hearing Chi Ye’s comment, Gao Zhenni naturally joined in, and everyone followed.
"Alright, let’s get started," Xiao B announced loudly.
"The rules are simple. Draw a card, and whoever gets the big joker has to choose between Truth or Dare." Xiao B explained eagerly and took out six playing cards, one of which was the big joker.
"Let’s start the first round. I’ll draw first," Xiao B said, trembling as he picked a card, peeking at it with narrowed eyes. He then revealed it, and everyone was disappointed.
When it was Xiao A, Xiao C, and Chi Ye’s turn, they were all safe.
Gao Zhenni began to sweat slightly. Xiao B teased, "Hehe, Miss Gao, let’s see how lucky you are."
Gao Zhenni took a deep breath, focused, and drew a card, her eyes showing panic.
She wiped her forehead and slowly revealed the card. Sure enough.
The big joker!
Xiao C spoke first, "Zhenni, will you choose Truth or Dare?"
Gao Zhenni thought for a few seconds, glanced at Chi Ye, and said, "Truth."
"I’ll ask. I’ll ask." Xiao A, with a sly smile, hurriedly said, "When did it first happen?"
Chi Ye’s lips twitched. This question was indeed boring, but it wasn’t surprising coming from Xiao A.
Gao Zhenni’s face turned red, playing with her fingers, hesitant to speak.
"Could it be... are you still...?" Xiao A teased in a strange tone.
Gao Zhenni’s face flushed deeply. She obediently nodded.
Xiao C intervened, "Xiao A, you’re so boring. Why ask such a question? It’s so wicked."
"Alright, my mistake. Next round."
The second round continued with excitement.
Xiao A lost. Dare: Imitate Peppa Pig and say, "I’m Peppa (pig squealing), this is my little brother George, this is my mommy, and this is my daddy."
In the third round, Xiao A lost again. Truth: Imitate Peppa Pig and say, "I’m Peppa (pig squealing), this is my little brother George, this is my mommy, and this is my daddy."
In the fourth round, Xiao C lost. Dare: Imitate Hong Shixian and say, "You’re so flirty."
The round finally came to Chi Ye. His expression darkened, but he boldly chose Dare.
Xiao A grinned wickedly, "Tell one of the beautiful ladies here that you’ve actually had a crush on her for a long time."
Chi Ye squinted, his lips curling into a slight smile, his expression calm and composed.
Chi Ye glanced at Gao Zhenni across the table.
Gao Zhenni immediately lowered her head shyly, her face blushing.
Chi Ye turned his gaze to a beautiful, elegant woman sitting on the left side.
Chi Ye walked over confidently, standing in front of the woman and looking down at her.
With a smile, Chi Ye said in a deep, magnetic voice, "I’ve actually had a crush on you for a long time."
Chi Ye’s lips still curved into a smile. After saying that, he turned and walked back, his expression unchanged.
Xiao A clapped in admiration, unable to hide his excitement. "As expected of Xiaoye, so bold. Look at how that woman hasn’t even reacted yet, haha..."
Chi Ye put away his smile and said lightly "It’s late. Let’s wrap it up."
At that moment.
Su Yuxin stared with her mouth open, still in shock.
Did she hear correctly? Was Chi Ye confessing his feelings just now?
What? He had a crush on her for a long time?
Su Yuxin fell into deep thought.
