Rebirth begins with rejecting Qingmei

Chapter 1496 Truth or Dare
Soon, a noise came from the direction of the bathroom.

Xu Xiuwen immediately pushed An Shishi away.

An Shishi stared at him with a resentful look in her eyes.

Xu Xiuwen chose to avoid eye contact.

An Shishi snorted when she saw this.

Seeing that the girl did nothing else, Xu Xiuwen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After Xiao Youran came out of the bathroom, she did not walk directly out of the toilet, but went to the sink.

She was standing at an angle that faced the living room sideways.

In other words, as long as she maintains this position, it will be difficult for her to see what's happening in the living room.

Xu Xiuwen clearly knew less about this family than An Shishi.

When he saw Xiao Youran's profile, he had only one thought in his mind: he couldn't have any intimate interactions with An Shishi.

However, in An Shishi's eyes, this became an opportunity instead.

An Shishi quietly reached her hand towards Xu Xiuwen's thigh...

Xu Xiuwen gasped instantly.

How dare An Shishi!
Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but admire An Shishi's courage.

However, despite his admiration, he was quite troubled.

Xiao Youran could walk out of the bathroom at any time.

She didn't even need to come out; she could see An Shishi's little actions simply by turning around.

But the latter's actions became increasingly daring.

at this time.

An Shishi suddenly said to Xiao Youran, who was in the bathroom, "Youran!"

Hearing An Shishi call out to Xiao Youran, Xu Xiuwen's heart jumped into his throat.

Xiao Youran turned to look at the two of them.

An Shishi leaned forward in advance, using her body to block the movement in her hand.

An Shishi and Xu Xiuwen sat one in front of the other.

Xiao Youran failed to notice An Shishi's subtle actions.

She asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Shishi?"

An Shishi smiled and said, "You Ran, there's an eyebrow pencil on the table, did you see it?"

Xiao Youran turned her head and began searching on the platform.

She quickly found an eyebrow pencil.

It's a product from a major brand.

Xiao Youran's eyes lit up when she saw it.

Because this brand of eyebrow pencil is particularly expensive, she hadn't been willing to buy it before.

She knew, of course, that as long as she asked Xu Xiuwen, he would buy it for her without hesitation.

But she didn't.

Xiao Youran gently picked up the eyebrow pencil and asked, "I saw it..."

An Shishi said, "This eyebrow pencil is a new one I bought recently, but it's not very good. I don't know if it's really bad or if it's just not suitable for me. Could you try it on for me?"

Her request didn't sound unreasonable, nor was it actually unreasonable.

Xiao Youran would never refuse her request.

She replied with almost no hesitation, "Okay, I'll give it a try."

"Okay, try whatever you like..." An Shishi said with a smile.

So Xiao Youran picked up an eyebrow pencil, stood in front of the mirror, and began to draw her eyebrows.

Drawing eyebrows is a makeup step that can be complicated or simple in some ways.

For experienced makeup artists, that's naturally a piece of cake.

However, for Xiao Youran, who doesn't wear makeup often and is especially bad at eye makeup, drawing eyebrows is a very time-consuming step.

She can easily draw off-center if she's not careful, so she has to draw slowly.

And that was An Shishi's purpose.

Xu Xiuwen never expected that An Shishi would use an eyebrow pencil to entangle Xiao Youran.

He even suspected that she had planned all of this in advance.

Otherwise, the eyebrow pencil should be on her bedroom vanity, not in the bathroom.

However, that's not the point.

The key point is that he is like a riverbank caught in a flood, about to be washed away.

The riverbank collapsing isn't a big problem.

The real problem is how to cover it up.

The sight of the floodwaters breaching the riverbanks must be truly spectacular.

He had to reach out and stop him.

The latter immediately cast a puzzled look at him.

Xu Xiuwen mouthed, "It's no use!"

Upon seeing this, An Shishi suddenly smiled mysteriously.

Instead of stopping, she began to dig up the dam.

This action immediately hastened the time it took for the riverbank to collapse.

next second.

An Shishi immediately opened the sluice gates to release the water, guiding the floodwaters into the correct river channel.

Just then, Xiao Youran was about to finish drawing her eyebrows.

She stared at herself in the mirror, quite satisfied.

Xiao Youran said softly to An Shishi, "Shishi, I think this eyebrow pencil is alright..."

Just a second before she turned to walk towards the living room, Xu Xiuwen shoved An Shishi away.

An Shishi was neither angry nor flustered.

She slowly wiped the corner of her mouth with the pads of her thumb and forefinger, then turned to look at Xiao Youran.

Xiao Youran walked closer and repeated it again.

An Shishi finally had some free time.

She said, "Really? It took me ages to finish drawing with it, it's really not easy to use."

Xiao Youran muttered under her breath, "That's such a pity..."

An Shishi asked, "You Ran, what did you say?"

Xiao Youran changed the subject, "So what are you planning to do? Return it?"

An Shishi sighed, "This brand can't be returned, so I guess I'll just have to accept my bad luck."

Xiao Youran echoed, "Indeed."

An Shishi changed the subject and asked, "You Ran, you can take it if you like, but I'm not going to use it."

Xiao Youran was taken aback, then was both surprised and delighted.

Worried that An Shishi and Xu Xiuwen would notice, she forced a smile and said, "This isn't right, how can I take your things?"

An Shishi said casually, "It's okay. You used to lend me things all the time. That's how friends should be. Besides, I wouldn't need to keep them. It would just be a waste."

Xiao Youran was tempted, but she hesitated to agree because of her pride.

Seeing this, Xu Xiuwen said, "Youran, since Shishi doesn't use it, you can take it if you like. It's just an eyebrow pencil."

An Shishi chimed in, "Yeah, Youran, it's just an eyebrow pencil!"

Seeing that both of them said so, Xiao Youran had no choice but to agree.

She said, "Okay, Shishi, I'll take your eyebrow pencil. I'll buy you another one later."

An Shishi waved her hand and said, "No need, it's just an eyebrow pencil, it won't cost much."

Xu Xiuwen was unaware of the price of this eyebrow pencil and thought it was really inexpensive.

Xiao Youran couldn't help but exclaim, "Shishi, you've changed so much!"

"What?" An Shishi was taken aback.

Xiao Youran couldn't help but say, "When you first entered university, you even had to save money on your meals, but now you don't even blink an eye when I give you such expensive things..."

An Shishi then understood what she meant.

An Shishi paused for a second, then smiled and said, "We weren't poor back then, but now that my family is rich, we're naturally more generous."

Her words were a joke, but also a form of self-deprecation.

Perhaps her family was indeed poor at the beginning, but now they make money thanks to Liu Ruo, and have nothing to do with being nouveau riche.

An Shishi's words surprised both Xiao Youran and Xu Xiuwen.

Coming to their senses, they both laughed.

An Shishi smiled when she saw this.

Xiao Youran walked over and sat down between Xu Xiuwen and An Shishi.

She turned to Xu Xiuwen and asked, "Xiao Xu, how did I do?"

Xu Xiuwen nodded and said, "It looks good."

However, this answer did not satisfy Xiao Youran.

The girl pouted and said, "Xiao Xu, don't be so perfunctory. Take a good look."

Xu Xiuwen was not just being perfunctory.

Xiao Youran is naturally beautiful; even if she painted a monkey on her face, it would still be an adorable monkey.

The word "ugly" has absolutely nothing to do with her.

To make the girl happy, Xu Xiuwen stared at her for a few seconds, then said seriously, "Very beautiful!"

Xiao Youran blushed upon hearing this.

She modestly replied, "Actually, it's alright, I'm not very good at drawing eyebrows..."

Seeing Xu Xiuwen and Xiao Youran chatting and laughing, An Shishi felt envious. Taking advantage of the fact that Xiao Youran couldn't see her, she deliberately licked her lips provocatively.

Xu Xiuwen's breathing stopped for a moment.

He gave him a subtle warning look.

An Shishi didn't take it to heart; instead, she looked smug.

Xu Xiuwen felt a sense of helplessness.

At this time.

An Shishi suddenly suggested, "It's still early, let's play for a while."

Xiao Youran immediately turned her head and asked, "What are we playing?"

An Shishi smiled and said, "Let's play Truth or Dare!"

A dangerous glint was reflected in her eyes.

Xu Xiuwen's heart skipped a beat.

Is An Shishi planning something else?

Xu Xiuwen did not want to play this game.

But Xiao Youran agreed almost without hesitation, "Okay!"

The two women looked at him together.

Xu Xiuwen couldn't spoil the mood, so he had no choice but to agree.

The rules of Truth or Dare are self-explanatory.

Xu Xiuwen had played this game with Xiao Youran and the other girls before.

The situation at the time was nothing short of phenomenal.

He was deeply impressed.

Although only three people participated this time, An Shishi's series of actions made him deeply uneasy.

An Shishi suddenly stood up and said, "I'll go get the wine!"

Xu Xiuwen opened his eyes wide and said, "You still have wine at home?"

An Shishi nodded and said, "Yes, I sometimes have a drink with my mom."

Xu Xiuwen: "..."

An Shishi ignored his reaction and got up to get the wine.

Xiao Youran seized the opportunity to ask, "Xiao Xu, don't you really want to play this game?"

Xu Xiuwen casually replied, "I'm fine with anything."

Xiao Youran wasn't a three-year-old child, so she naturally saw through his perfunctory attitude.

She hesitated for a few seconds, but ultimately didn't say, "Since you don't want to play, then we won't play."

Because she had many questions and wanted to use the game as an opportunity to ask them.

At this time.

An Shishi walked over carrying a case of beer.

She appeared slightly exhausted when she put it down.

Xiao Youran was just about to help.

Xu Xiuwen had already reached out first.

Xiao Youran watched this scene without saying a word.

Xu Xiuwen took a case of beer from An Shishi and gently placed it on the floor between the coffee table and the sofa.

An Shishi suddenly turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

When she returned, she had a spoon in her hand.

An Shishi placed the spoon on the coffee table, which instantly became a natural turntable.

An Shishi looked up and asked, "Shall we begin now?"

Xiao Youran immediately hummed in agreement.

Xu Xiuwen hesitated for a second, then finally nodded.

Both women could see his reluctance.

However, this only increased the two girls' desire to play the game.

Xiao Youran asked impatiently, "Who should we start with?"

An Shishi said, "To be fair, let's play rock-paper-scissors. Whoever wins spins first!"

“Okay,” Xiao Youran readily agreed.

Xu Xiuwen nodded in agreement.

"Rock, paper, scissors!" x3
As soon as the words were spoken, the three of them attacked simultaneously.

The first time, the three people used different hand gestures.

So this round ended in a draw.

The second time was also a tie.

Xiao Youran won on the third attempt.

Xiao Youran exclaimed excitedly, "I won! I'll spin first!"

An Shishi said, "Then hurry up and turn around."

Xiao Youran immediately did as instructed.

She casually stirred the spoon.

As the spoon began to spin, the girl's heart soared.

How she wished the first time it would go directly to Xu Xiuwen.

This way, she can directly ask Xu Xiuwen questions.

However, it backfired.

The end of the spoon eventually pointed at herself.

The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment!

Xiao Youran almost lost her smile.

An Shishi immediately asked, "You Ran, it's your turn. Do you choose Truth or Dare?"

Xiao Youran asked stiffly, "I choose dare."

"Who decides the content of the adventure?" Xiao Youran asked.

An Shishi said, "Let's play rock-paper-scissors instead."

So Xu Xiuwen and An Shishi started playing rock-paper-scissors again.

This time, Xu Xiuwen won.

He didn't want to make things difficult for Xiao Youran, so he gave a very simple instruction.

Give me a kiss!

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Youran turned around and kissed Xu Xiuwen on the face.

Take a big smack!
After the kiss, she showed no lingering attachment, quickly composed herself, and prepared to continue to the next round of the game.

Even An Shishi was surprised.

She seemed to see Xiao Youran's determination.

This made her curious: what question did Xiao Youran want to ask Xu Xiuwen?

A new round of game begins.

This time, the 'loser' from the previous round will spin the spoon directly.

This time, Lady Luck smiled upon Hsu Hsiu-wen once again.

The end of the spoon eventually pointed to An Shishi.

With a calm and composed expression, An Shishi asked, "I choose truth. Who wants to ask?"

Xiao Youran said first, "I'll do it."

An Shishi nodded.

In her opinion, Xiao Youran wouldn't ask any overly provocative questions, so she remained very calm.

However, it was precisely her thoughts at that moment that almost caused her to give herself away.

Xiao Youran stared into An Shishi's eyes and said, "Shishi, when was the last time you had a crush on Xiao Xu?"

Upon hearing this question, Xu Xiuwen and An Shishi were both stunned.

The atmosphere in the living room instantly plummeted to freezing point.

A hint of panic flashed in An Shishi's eyes.

Xiao Youran's question was unexpected.

Normally, she would lie without hesitation.

But now in the game.

If she chooses to lie now, then when she asks Xu Xiuwen questions later, the latter can also lie without any pressure.

and.

Even if she wanted to deny it, it would be difficult for her.

Because Xiao Youran's gaze was too sharp.

Whether she answered yes or no, the other person seemed to want to devour her.

Under the gaze of the two, An Shishi finally gave an answer that Xu Xiuwen did not expect, but Xiao Youran found reasonable.

An Shishi's original words were: "I think no one would dislike a guy as outstanding, handsome and talented as Xu Xiuwen."

An Shishi neither directly admitted that she liked Xu Xiuwen, nor did she deny it.

However, such an ambiguous answer was exactly what Xiao Youran wanted.

Because she felt that An Shishi was not lying.

At least the latter is honest.

Then this question wasn't asked in vain.
