Chapter 187 I'll Drink
Shen Li's laughter echoed in the night sky. She looked at Xinghan expectantly, with a gleam of curiosity in her eyes:
"Xinghan, you always come up with some new ideas. What are you going to do this time?"
Xinghan smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes:
"Since everyone is so happy, why don't we play a little game? The rules are simple. Start counting from 1, and skip any multiples of 7 or any number containing the number 7, and say the next number. If anyone says the wrong number or reacts slowly, they will be punished - tell the truth, or drink a glass of wine if they can't reveal the secret."
As soon as the words came out, the three of them started the game with great interest.
At first, the numbers grew slowly and steadily, but as they grew larger, the challenge became more difficult. There was a mixture of tension and excitement in the air, and everyone was fully focused on this simple numbers game.
However, unexpectedly, Xingyun was the first to be hit.
When he nervously counted to "14", he suddenly realized that he should skip this number, but he blurted it out. Shen Li and Xing Han immediately started to make fun of him, with smiles of triumph on their faces.
"Alright, alright, Xingyun, you have to accept the defeat!" Shen Li winked mischievously and took the lead, "Xinghan, go first, ask an interesting question!"
Xinghan thought for a moment and asked a fantasy question: "If you had superpowers, what would you most like to do?"
Xingyun pondered for a while, with a hint of tenderness and determination in his eyes:
"I hope to revive the kindest artifacts from ancient times, and let their power protect the world once again."
It was Shen Li's turn. Her eyes became deep and serious:
"So, Xingyun, if one day you become a god, will you choose to live for the peace and tranquility of the three realms, or just live for your own heart and ideals?"
This question seemed to touch a corner deep in Xingyun's heart. He was silent for a moment and ultimately did not give a direct answer.
He sighed softly, picked up the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
"This question is too difficult to answer... I'll drink."
He whispered, as if he was escaping, but also as if he was thinking about some deeper issues.
Seeing this, Shen Li and Xinghan did not continue to ask questions, but just smiled at each other, secretly admiring Xingyun's choice and courage.
The game continued, laughter and cheers echoed in the night sky, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.
However, when the number jumped to 37, Shen Li's thoughts seemed to drift away from the game for a short time. When she suddenly came back to her senses, she had missed the opportunity to skip.
She let out a light breath, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, then she picked up the wine glass and drank it all as her punishment.
Seeing this, Xingyun's eyes flashed with cunning, and he asked in a serious tone:
"Shen Li, it's my turn to ask. I want to know, do you... like Xinghan?" As soon as this question was asked, the air seemed to freeze for a moment, and even the occasional chirping of insects in the distance seemed exceptionally clear.
Shen Li's eyes flickered slightly. She did not answer directly, but picked up the wine glass again and took a sip gently, as if she was avoiding the direct confrontation with the question in this way.
Xinghan looked on feeling uncomfortable, his cheeks slightly reddening, he hadn't expected the game to suddenly turn to such a personal topic.
Finally, amid Shen Li's silence and Xing Yun's expectant gaze, Xing Han mustered up the courage to ask his own question:
"Shen Li, if...if one day you find out that your parents are not as perfect as you imagined, and have done something wrong, or even hurt others, how will you face it?"
This question was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples. Shen Li's expression became serious and earnest. After thinking for a while, she answered firmly:
"I will first find out the truth of the matter. If their behavior is truly unforgivable, then... I will choose to stop them, including... at all costs." When it comes to "killing them", although she did not say it directly, her determination and courage are self-evident.
Xinghan was shocked when he heard this.
He never thought that Shen Li would give such a decisive answer. This calmness and determination gave him a deeper understanding of Shen Li. He realized that Shen Li had her own firm principles and bottom line, and once it was touched, she would never compromise easily.
As the night deepened, the game continued, but the atmosphere seemed to have changed subtly. Everyone was looking for each other's answers in the game, and they also got to know each other better through each other's answers.
Although Shen Li's words "kill them" sounded cold and ruthless, they also made Xinghan and Xingyun see the inviolable justice and persistence in her heart.
As the night deepened, they had tasted most of the food on the table, and everyone felt just the right amount of full.
Xinghan looked up at the starry sky, his eyes twinkling with intelligence. He suggested, "Since tonight is so beautiful, why don't we light a bonfire and let this joy last a little longer!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Li and Xing Yun nodded in agreement.
So Xinghan stood up, found some dry firewood and fire starters, and carefully lit the bonfire.
The flames spread quickly, illuminating everything around and warming everyone's hearts. The firelight shone on their faces, revealing smiling faces filled with happiness and satisfaction.
Around the bonfire, the atmosphere became warmer and more lively. Xingyun suddenly suggested: "On a night like this, we should sing some songs to liven up the atmosphere. I remember a song from the ancient Book of Songs that is particularly suitable for the occasion. Let me sing it for everyone!"
As he spoke, Xingyun cleared his throat and began to sing. His voice was melodious and profound, as if it had traveled through thousands of years, bringing people back to that ancient and mysterious era. The lyrics were full of awe for nature, love for life, and longing for the future, which made people intoxicated.
The song ended, but the lingering sound lingered in the air. Seeing this, Xinghan stood up, not wanting to be outdone:
"Xingyun sings really well! I'll also sing a song. However, the song I'm going to sing is a special one that you've certainly never heard of. It's called... Dangdangdangdang! Are you looking forward to it? Are you looking forward to it? It's called—"Princess"."
As the rhythm of the music sounded, Xinghan's singing voice also sounded.
His voice is deep and magnetic, expressing the emotions in the song vividly. The image of the princess described in the lyrics is noble and mysterious, which makes people have endless reverie about love and power.
Xinghan's singing adds a unique charm to the song, making people intoxicated by it.
Shen Li stood in front of the bonfire, the moonlight and the firelight intertwined on her body, coating her with a layer of mysterious and dazzling brilliance. Her eyes were like torches, and the corners of her mouth curled up with a confident and domineering smile, "There is meat! There is wine! There are songs! And there should also be... dance!"
"Tonight, we make friends through martial arts and express our feelings through songs!" Shen Li's voice was low and powerful, as if it contained endless strength and determination.
Then, she gently raised her hand, spread her five fingers slightly, and said to the empty void in an unquestionable tone: "Come on, kill!"
