"Really!!!"
As soon as Aiyire said that, Lin Can suddenly stood up from the group of girls, startling Chu Qingning and the others so much that the lace straps on their V-neck nightgowns fluttered with their pounding hearts.
Lin Can had been sitting in the innermost part of the couch. Now, feeling excited and eager to go snuggle up with Sister Yire, he turned around—only to find Chu Qingning, Miao Youxi, and Qiao Meina all leaning against the sofa with their arms crossed. Their long legs, wrapped in nude-colored lacy nightgowns, were uniformly crossed over their left legs, completely blocking his path.
"Qingning-jie, could you move your leg? I need to pass."
"You can go... if you kiss me."
"Where?"
"My lips."
"Which... pair?"
Pfft~
The three girls burst out laughing.
Aiyire teased, "Qingning and Lin Can, you two are really playing wild~"
Chu Qingning smacked Aiyire playfully, then pointed at her mouth and asked Lin Can, "This one."
Lin Can cupped Chu Qingning's face and gave her a hard muah.
"That's more like it. Go on."
Chu Qingning pressed her lips together and lowered her leg.
First challenge cleared.
Lin Can stepped forward and stopped in front of Miao Youxi.
Why is it so hard just to get to my Yire-jie~
Aiyire sat on the opposite side, playfully swinging her slippered feet as she watched the scene of the three girls giving Lin Can a hard time with amusement.
"Youxi-jie, could you please move just a little?"
"You can if..." Miao Youxi looked up, and before she could finish, she noticed Lin Can towering over her, his gaze blatantly falling into her neckline. In his eyes, one read HUGE and the other JUICY.
He used to at least pretend to be a gentleman. Now he's not even bothering with that in front of the girls?
Always asking to see my feet was bad enough...
Now not even feet satisfy him, and he's focused on my chest?
So annoying.
Miao Youxi snorted, pulling up her V-neck slightly. She was the most timid of the group but still tried to speak firmly: "You can pass if you... you…" She scratched her head. "You what again…"
Pfft—
Idiot.
Qiao Meina nearly lost it from frustration. "You scolded your Youxi-jie today, and she's upset. You need to apologize properly."
Miao Youxi nodded vigorously. "Yeah, that's it!"
"Oh~ Apologize? No problem..."
Lin Can straightened his expression and looked at the adorably naive, baby-faced, big-chested Youxi-jie.
"Youxi-jie, I shouldn't have yelled at you. I won't do it again. I apologize. To show my sincerity, I..."
As he spoke, he bent at a 90° angle in a deep bow—his face landing right at the neckline of her V-cut.
So big!
"You...!"
Miao Youxi realized even his apology was a chance to peek and raised her hand to swat him.
Lin Can lifted his head, gently caught her hand, and gallantly kissed the back of it.
"Youxi-jie, do you accept my apology?"
Miao Youxi froze. It was the first time in her life a boy had kissed her—even if it was just her hand. Her face flushed with embarrassment, and she shrank back onto the sofa, legs tucked in and hidden under her nightgown. She lowered her head and murmured, "You can go."
She was the shyest in the group, a total contrast to Aiyire's boldness.
Second challenge cleared.
He took another step forward and arrived in front of Qiao Meina.
Qiao Meina sat regally, one long leg crossed over the other, arms folded across her chest, queenly expression in place. She opened her mouth, "You can go if you—ah!"
Before she could finish, she yelped in shock.
I didn't even state the condition and he's already making a move!
Lin Can, impatient and unwilling to waste time, bent down and planted a bold muah right on her exposed thigh under the lacy hem of her nightgown.
He then raised his head proudly and wiped his mouth.
"Good enough?"
Holy crap!
Everyone was stunned: !!!
Aiyire said, "Damn! You really don't care about your girlfriend at all, I'm dying laughing!"
"Sigh~" Chu Qingning felt utterly defeated. This little brother really didn't play by any rules.
"Go, go, go! Ew~~ So gross, you slobbered all over my leg." Qiao Meina wiped her thigh with a tissue in disgust.
All challenges cleared!
Lin Can dashed over to Aiyire and slung his arm around her fragrant shoulder. "You little minx—pfft, I mean, Sister Yire, I really, really like you. Now tell me, what naughty thing are we about to do?"
Blegh~~
Aiyire looked like she was about to puke from Lin Can's overly dramatic display.
Aiyire was gorgeous—no, not just gorgeous, stunning.
Let's put it this way: if a random passerby scanned the four girls, 90% would have their eyes immediately drawn to Aiyire.
That's because she wasn't a girl from the Central Plains—she was a bona fide Western Region beauty.
And she had the most admirers at school.
Of course, that's only if they didn't know her true nature—a total goofball!
But that was because Aiyire lived joyfully and carefreely every single day.
"Pfft~ What are you imagining~" Aiyire poked Lin Can's forehead with a finger and shrugged his arm off. "Don't lean on me, it's hot."
Chu Qingning lightly kicked Aiyire from across the room. "Hey~ you little minx, what the hell are you planning? Speak up! You've got your dear Lin Can all flustered."
Today, Chu Qingning wasn't jealous of anyone—except Aiyire.
Aiyire gave a sly smile. She lived to mess with jealous little Qingning.
"We're playing this. Give me a sec." Aiyire pushed Lin Can's arm away, stood up, and walked over to the storage cabinet in the RV. She pulled out a suitcase and placed it on the floor. Then, smoothing down her nightgown over her perky butt, she bent over to rummage inside.
Lin Can turned his head—right into a full view of the peachy curves outlined by her skin-toned nightgown.
Who could survive this?!
Hiss~
A second later, Lin Can winced in pain. He looked down to see Chu Qingning, Miao Youxi, and Qiao Meina all raising their long legs and pinching his thigh—each with their big toe and second toe—while glaring at him with adorably fierce expressions:
No naughty thoughts about your Yire-jie!
I wasn't having any!!
But dang that hurt!
"Found it! Let's play this!"
Aiyire stood up, one hand on her hip and the other holding up a deck of cards.
"The upgraded version of the 'Little Fairy' cards from our trip to the Western Regions—'Pure Love Cards'!"
"That's it...? I thought it was something big." Lin Can looked disappointed and his attitude toward Aiyire instantly cooled.
Men—so shallow.
Aiyire: "Don't underestimate it. It's intense. There's Truth or Dare. You guys dare?"
"I'm out, I'm out," Miao Youxi shook her head vigorously.
Aiyire: "What's wrong? Hehehe~ Is it because during the last game Lin Can did pushups on top of you and left you with emotional scars? You couldn't even sleep properly for days. Still dreaming about those pushups, huh?"
Miao Youxi hurled a pillow at her. "Go to hell! What are you saying?! I'm not that kind of person! Anyway, I'm not playing."
"You're playing! Everyone must play. If you don't, you're disrespecting me—Qiao Meina!"
Last time, Qiao Meina lost so badly she cried. This time, she was determined to reclaim her pride.
Chu Qingning, Miao Youxi: …
"Fine! Let's play. Same rules—draw a card each, whoever gets the lowest number has to pick a Truth or Dare card."
While shuffling the deck, Aiyire explained.
"This is the upgraded version, so I'm warning you now—no backing out if you lose!"
Qiao Meina snorted, "As if we'd back out. Stop yapping and deal the cards."
"Alright, let's play! Who's scared of who!" Lin Can put on a brave face, but he couldn't shake the feeling that this upgraded version sounded dangerous. He mumbled, "What's so intense about it anyway?"
Aiyire looked serious. "It's not just talk this time. Just be careful!"
Tch~
Lin Can sneered. She said the same thing last time and it was no big deal.
Slap~
Aiyire laid the deck on the table.
"First round, draw your cards."
Everyone picked one card.
Miao Youxi didn't dare look.
Qiao Meina said, "Relax, you've got a King just like me."
Phew~
Miao Youxi let out a huge sigh of relief.
She had legit trauma from last time.
Chu Qingning: "I got a 9."
Aiyire: "I got a 2. Sigh…"
Lin Can: "You got a 2? Then there's no need to check mine. You draw the Truth or Dare card."
He casually placed his card face-down on the pile.
"You didn't even show us yours." Aiyire flipped over Lin Can's card and immediately burst out laughing. "Hahaha~ Sneaky bastard, trying to skate by! You got a 1—you're the lowest!"
Qiao Meina: "Lin Can, no cheating~"
Lin Can chuckled. Yeah, he had hoped to sneak through unnoticed.
"Fine, fine, I lost. I'll draw."
Truth or Dare cards were shuffled together. Whatever he drew, he had to do.
With four girls watching him intently, Lin Can randomly pulled out a card and handed it to Aiyire.
Qiao Meina: "What kind of card is it?"
Chu Qingning: "Aiyire, say something!"
Miao Youxi: "Aiyire's face looks super serious. This doesn't look good…"
