Green Tea? She's Clearly a Hidden Gem!

The Hot Pot restaurant was brightly lit and crowded. The four of them found a seat and sat down.

Jiang Linyuan sat next to Yu Songsong, with Lin Yilin and Zhang Juntang sitting across from them.

"Can you guys handle spicy food? What kind of broth do you want?"

Jiang Linyuan looked at the three girls and asked.

"I can't eat spicy food."

Yu Songsong answered quickly, then turned her head to look at Lin Yilin and Zhang Juntang:

"You guys are the same, right?"

Lin Yilin was in a daze, lost in her own thoughts, and just said:

"Anything is fine."

Jiang Linyuan glanced at her, feeling quite helpless:

"Then let's get a broth flavored like Xiao Yilin."

Lin Yilin snapped back to reality, glared at him, and gave him a light kick under the table before saying:

"I don't eat spicy food."

Zhang Juntang said timidly:

"I don't either."

No one eats spicy food, great.

They placed their order online. While waiting for the food, things got a bit boring, so Jiang Linyuan suggested:

"How about we play a little game?"

"Sure!"

Yu Songsong's eyes lit up, and she nodded eagerly.

"What should we play?"

Lin Yilin asked.

"Truth or Dare."

Jiang Linyuan thought for a moment before saying.

"We'll create a group chat by scanning faces, then roll dice in the group to get points, how about that?"

Jiang Linyuan took out his phone and asked the three girls.

No one refused, and soon a group chat was created.

[Binary and the Sorcerer's Stone] rolled a four.

[Juntang] rolled a five.

[Young Ah Jiang] rolled a two.

[Pine and Cypress] rolled a three.

Off to a bad start.

Looking at his two points, Jiang Linyuan had no choice but to accept his fate:

"...I choose truth."

The person with the highest points this round was Zhang Juntang, so she would ask the question.

She looked surprised, glancing around nervously as if she had a guilty conscience:

"M...Me?"

"Yes, you can ask a question, anything."

Looking at the timid Zhang Juntang, Jiang Linyuan said magnanimously.

Zhang Juntang looked at Jiang Linyuan for a while before asking softly:

"Do you dislike me?"

What kind of question is that?

Even the questions asked by this little pushover are so weak!

Am I just some fragile internet emperor?

"I don't dislike you."

Jiang Linyuan said straightforwardly.

Hearing this, Zhang Juntang's eyes narrowed into slits, revealing a satisfied expression like a lazy orange cat basking in the afternoon sun.

So cute, wanna pet her a couple of times.

Both Yu Songsong and Lin Yilin were very dissatisfied with this question. Who asks something like that in Truth or Dare?

"Alright, next round!"

Jiang Linyuan waved his hand grandly, moving the game along.

The second round began quickly.

[Young Ah Jiang] rolled a six.

[Pine and Cypress] rolled a two.

[Binary and the Sorcerer's Stone] rolled a two.

[Juntang] rolled a three.

Luck is here~! A double win!

Jiang Linyuan laughed:

"Truth, or dare?"

"Truth."

Yu Songsong replied with a smile.

Lin Yilin, who seemed to have thought of something, blushed and glanced at Jiang Linyuan:

"Tr...truth."

Wait, Binary Little Sister, what's with that reaction?

This little pervert is definitely thinking something dirty!

Just looking at me won't get you pregnant! I'll start with you!

"Xiao Yilin, what's your ideal type of boyfriend like?"

Jiang Linyuan asked with a smile.

Lin Yilin didn't dare to look at him, stammering:

"I'm not sure either, I've never been in a relationship, and I haven't really thought about this kind of thing..."

Poor little virgin, doesn't even have the right to fantasize about love.

Jiang Linyuan's gaze towards Lin Yilin carried a trace of pity:

"Xiao Yilin, a woman who stays single until she's thirty becomes a golden leftover warrior. You need to work hard."

"No way! Senior, don't curse people!"

Lin Yilin said angrily:

"If I'm really still single at thirty, I'll definitely come find you and make trouble!"

"What does Xiao Yilin mean by that? Do you want me to take responsibility for you? Sorry, junior, even though we have a good relationship, this is moving too fast. Sorry, you're a nice person."

Jiang Linyuan launched into a rapid-fire chant, quickly issuing Lin Yilin a "nice person" card.

Yu Songsong beside them couldn't help but chuckle:

"Alright, senior should ask me now too, right?"

Hearing her speak, Lin Yilin stopped bickering with Jiang Linyuan and pricked up her ears, wanting to hear what question Jiang Linyuan would ask.

Jiang Linyuan turned his head to look at Yu Songsong:

"My question is the same. What is junior's ideal type like?"

Yu Songsong thought for a moment and said seriously:

"Funny, he absolutely must be funny! And his personality shouldn't be too soft, it's best if he's a bit strong-willed. Lastly, I hope he's not the type overflowing with a sense of justice."

Hearing this, Lin Yilin felt panicked inside.

Is senior funny? His words might be cheeky, but he definitely knows how to make girls laugh.

As for being soft, Jiang Linyuan's assertiveness has never been weak.

But hearing the last point, she felt somewhat relieved.

After all, Senior Jiang is a decent guy, right?

She glanced at the grinning Jiang Linyuan and remembered how he occasionally pinched her hand, making her blush a little.

Probably, right.

"Not overflowing with a sense of justice?"

Jiang Linyuan was a bit curious:

"Can you elaborate? Of course, you don't have to answer if you don't want to."

Yu Songsong didn't mind at all, saying:

"Simply put, I hope he sides with people over principles. Even if I make a mistake, I hope he'll stand by my side."

Hearing this, Jiang Linyuan figured it probably had something to do with the incident where Yu Songsong was caught cheating in high school.

The pressure in senior year of high school is immense, adolescence is sensitive and impulsive. Getting caught cheating, the whole school knew there was such a person.

If it were someone else, they'd probably pull some stunt at school the next day, becoming a legendary "airborne" figure for future juniors and seniors to talk about.

Gotta say, Yu Songsong's psychological resilience is indeed strong.

"Haha, a person like the one junior described, I'd want one too."

As Jiang Linyuan spoke, Su Muzhi's smiling face involuntarily floated into his mind, startling him.

Scared me to death!

It's true, Xiao Su is quite loyal.

If you said you wanted to evacuate a million people from the Louvre, she'd probably pat her chest and say she'd get you the Evangelion Unit-01.

But talk about dating her?

Life isn't that unbearable. If you're unhappy, go cosplay as a bush by the highway and then jump out to scare a truck.

That's the spirit!

Yu Songsong looked strangely at Jiang Linyuan's frightened expression, not knowing what he was thinking, and said:

"Let's continue, continue."

A new round began.

[Young Ah Jiang] rolled a one.

The person with the highest points was Yu Songsong.

"Senior's luck isn't too good."

Yu Songsong asked with a smile:

"Truth or dare?"

"Truth."

Jiang Linyuan said.

A crooked body isn't afraid of a straight shadow!

In all my actions, I, Jiang Linyuan, only seek to have a clear conscience.

Reject self-guilt, promote making others overthink.

"Then... Senior Jiang, how many times have you been in a relationship?"

Yu Songsong drew out her words, asking with a smile.

Lin Yilin's eyes widened as she turned to look at Jiang Linyuan.

Zhang Juntang also sneakily glanced over.

"0.5 times."

Jiang Linyuan said reluctantly.

"What do you mean 0.5 times!"

Lin Yilin was very dissatisfied with this answer.

"Because in this relationship, I agreed, but she didn't, so it was an imperfect relationship."

Jiang Linyuan said with a sigh.

"That's clearly just a crush! And you probably got rejected!"

Lin Yilin shouted angrily.

This Binary Little Sister! Fine, fine, fine! I'll let you be smug for now. Just wait until we're alone and see how I deal with you!

"Senior had a crush on someone? Who was it? Is it okay to say?"

Yu Songsong seized the key point and asked.

Jiang Linyuan just looked into her eyes, smiled slightly, and leaned in a little closer:

"Junior, why don't you take a guess?"

Yu Songsong, looking into his seemingly affectionate eyes, instinctively avoided his gaze and said:

"How would I know? Senior knows so many people, and I don't know them."

"It's someone you know."

Jiang Linyuan lied without changing his expression.

After all, this was no longer within the scope of the truth question.

But Yu Songsong didn't think so, believing they were still playing truth, and her heart skipped a beat.

It's not me, is it?

Lin Yilin's heart also skipped a beat.

It's not me, is it?

She kept her head down, but out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Zhang Juntang was also lowering her head, her face red.

There's another expert?

Looking at the reactions of the three, Jiang Linyuan couldn't hold it in anymore.

Oh no, I'm surrounded by cringe women!
