Sister, can I be a maid too?

"You have three decks of cards in this box: a 'casual friends' deck, a 'flirtatious' deck, and a 'loving couple' deck..."

He picked up the box, shook it, and looked at the two of them with a somewhat subtle expression:

Which game should we play?

Chapter 272 More Than Friends, Less Than Lovers

As soon as he finished speaking, the living room fell silent, with only the faint background noise from the television.

"Say something," Jiang Yu said, waving the box in his hand. "Which game should we play?"

Lin Jianxia seemed to only then realize what was happening. She moved her lips and leaned over to look into the box.

Inside the box were four stacks of plastic-sealed cards, and apart from a large stack labeled 'Function Cards,' the rest were exactly as Jiang Yubai had described.

There are 'Ordinary Friends Version', 'Ambiguous Relationship Version', and 'Romantic Couple Version'.

She stared at the box for a few seconds, and as if thinking of something, her ears slowly turned a rosy pink.

What?!

If you're going to make a game, just make it well! Why are you making three modes in one game? Why be so generous?

Even if we're going to split up... please, please don't write the names so obviously!

Now we can see who will choose it!

Seeing Jiang Yubai's interested gaze fall upon her, she took a deep breath and immediately ruled out the 'loving couple' version.

Just from the name, you know it's definitely not a game... It's probably packed with all sorts of weird and wonderful problems...

As for that 'ambiguous relationship version'... who came up with such a tasteless name!

You could at least have some kind of "friendship above all else" or "not quite" thing...

Lin Jianxia's gaze drifted around, seemingly somewhat tempted, before she quickly shook her head.

No, no, no, we can't choose this. We still need to play together last night...

A series of thoughts raced through her mind, and Lin Jianxia tried her best to make her tone sound calm:

"Okay, let's play the 'regular friends' version then..."

Jiang Yubai nodded readily, took out the "Ordinary Friends Edition" stack, unwrapped it, and placed the Truth or Dare cards in the center of the mat.

After placing the stack of function cards among the three of them, he casually opened a can of cocktails, poured a little into each person's glass, and said:

"Okay, let's draw cards clockwise. I'll go first, then Jianxia, ​​and then Wanwan."

"As agreed before, whoever is to be punished first drinks a cup. If they draw a cup they don't want to do or answer, they drink another cup to make up for it. Is that alright?"

Seeing that both of them nodded, he reached into the deck of function cards, drew one, and flipped it over to place in front of him.

Lin Jianxia and Lin Tingwan couldn't help but peek over, and saw a line of large characters written brightly on it:

You can designate one player to draw a 'Truth or Dare' card and impose a penalty.

Upon seeing this line of text, Jiang Yubai raised an eyebrow:

"Wow, such good luck?"

He was prepared to set an example first, but the punishment was indeed a punishment, but it was someone else who was punished.

Jiang Yubai's gaze swept between the two sisters before finally settling on Lin Jianxia, ​​who was standing to the side.

Lin Jianxia's expression froze instantly, and her heart started beating faster.

As expected, Jiang Yubai smiled maliciously:

"Then I won't be polite~ I choose truth, and the person I'm talking to is..."

He looked at Lin Jianxia and deliberately dragged out his voice.

Lin Jianxia's face fell. She was already prepared to reach for the card when she heard the big bad guy change the subject:

".......Wanwan."

"Huh?"

Lin Jianxia was taken aback.

Lin Tingwan, standing to the side, blinked her eyes, clearly not quite understanding at first either.

Jiang Yubai chuckled and gently patted her head.

"Wanwan, have a drink first, then draw a card. You have to answer whatever the card asks you, no lying allowed."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tingwan nodded and looked at the cup in front of her.

Although it was called a cup, Jiang Yubai only poured a little over half a cup.

She reached out and drank the beverage in one gulp, then drew a card from the pile of truth cards and gently spread it out.

Jiang Yubai and Lin Jianxia curiously leaned closer and saw that it read:

[Truth or Dare: Please tell me your favorite food.]

Upon seeing this line of text, Jiang Yubai felt a pang of disappointment.

That's it?

That makes sense, since it's for friends to play with, there wouldn't be any weird or strange questions.

Lin Tingwan glanced at the question, took out her notebook, scribbled something down, and held it up in front of her.

"Roasted chicken wings."

Seeing this completely unsurprising answer, Jiang Yubai nodded:

"Okay, next one."

Lin Jianxia, ​​who had initially looked a little disappointed, perked up upon hearing this, reached out and pulled out a function card, looked at it, and immediately her face fell:

"Let me draw a truth card."

"Stop sucking," Jiang Yubai perked up, and even added, "Don't lie."

"Pah! You think I'm like you, Jiang Xiaobai!"

Lin Jianxia mumbled as she took a sip of her drink, then reached into the deck of truth cards and drew one, placing it in front of her.

[Honest Question: If you had superpowers, what would you want most?]

"Superpowers?" Lin Jianxia thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "It should be... time stop, right?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yubai immediately perked up and exclaimed with delight:

"Time what?"

“Time stops,” Lin Jianxia explained. “It’s like giving you a pocket watch or something, and when you press a button, time stops for everyone except you.”

“Uh, I know what time stop is,” Jiang Yubai glanced at her sideways, “I’m asking you… what do you plan to do with it?”

Lin Jianxia felt that this guy's eyes were a bit malicious, but she still counted on her fingers and said:

"What else can you do with stopping time? If I had time to stop time, I could have endless time to read novels and watch TV series, wouldn't that be great... By the way, what are you thinking?"

"...Well, what I'm thinking about is studying hard."

Jiang Yubai spoke in a serious tone.

Lin Jianxia didn't believe him at all, giving him a suspicious look, but ultimately didn't press the matter, only saying:

"Come on, Wanwan, it's your turn."

The three played a few more rounds, and this time Jiang Yubai couldn't avoid it. He drew a dare: "Do ten push-ups on the spot."

As for that punishment drink....

It's described as an alcoholic beverage, but the alcohol content is pitifully low, only slightly higher than beer.

Jiang Yubai only detected a tiny hint of alcohol, which was then overwhelmed by the rich fruity aroma.

However, the punishment was secondary; the problem was that he started to get bored while playing.

For no other reason than that this deck of Truth or Dare cards... is just too bland.

It's not that Jiang Yubai intends to take advantage of this opportunity to do anything, but the problem is, isn't this deck really not for strangers?!

What's more, there are two adorable and beautiful girls sitting in front of her.

Such a beautiful pair of twins right in front of me, yet all I got were questions like "What's your favorite color?" or "What's your favorite animal or song?"...

Or they're just some pointless adventures that really don't excite me.

The most exciting one was nothing more than "choose one player from the participants to hug," and it just so happened that Lin Tingwan drew it.

Upon seeing the message, the girl didn't hesitate for a moment and happily threw herself into his arms.

If Jiang Yubai hadn't pulled her off with a look of both amusement and exasperation, Lin Tingwan would have wanted to stay in his arms and continue playing, and there was no sign of any danger involved.

After two more rounds, Jiang Yubai finally couldn't help but speak up:

"Um... do you guys think this deck is fun?"

Lin Jianxia, ​​who had been looking down listlessly, suddenly brightened up upon hearing this. She was about to say something, but then paused.

She turned her face away, her eyes somewhat unfocused.

"I'm... I'm fine... What's wrong?"

Lin Tingwan tilted her head and held up her little notebook as well:

"It's fun."

Jiang Yubai glanced at Lin Tingwan, then at Lin Jianxia beside her, and his lips twitched.

Wanwan probably thought it was really fun, after all, this girl is so easily satisfied, she could probably happily play rock-paper-scissors with him all night.

As for Xia, whom I'll meet...

You little hedgehog, why are you pretending to be a big bad wolf with me?

You get a little more listless with each round of this game; I almost fell asleep just now.

How can you lie and say it's fun?
