Chapter 244: Chapter 242: The Truth Isn’t True Chapter 244: Chapter 242: The Truth Isn’t True The production team’s dinner was the same old routine: drinking and playing games, nothing much new.

Tonight, it was just their own crew gathering, without the messy inclusion of bosses or investors.

It was just them, and they had a pretty good time.

Chu Jinghe sat on the side and suddenly remembered the unlucky moments of Shen Yan from her mind. Ever since the second episode of “Survivor,” Shen Yan seemed to have opened some kind of luck meridian, getting lucky in everything she did.

“Director Li, since everyone wants to play, how about we play something more exciting?”

Chu Jinghe suddenly suggested, and Director Li paused, looking around.

Mu Jincheng was sitting next to her, and he turned his head to glance at her upon hearing that.

Meanwhile, Shen Yan was buried in her phone.

Chu Jinghe gritted her teeth and smiled, “Back in school, I loved playing Truth or Dare. We’re all a bit tired of dice, don’t we all feel a bit nostalgic?”

Upon hearing that, everyone looked around at each other, all showing eagerness to try.

Seeing this, Director Li said, “Then let’s play Truth or Dare.”

Everyone was from the industry, and playing too wildly wouldn’t be good.

If someone snapped a photo and it hit the headlines, could they continue to play merrily?

Director Li was taking these people out, so he had to take some responsibility.

So the less they played, the better, but Chu Jinghe’s suggestion wasn’t too excessive.

“Spin the bottle!” someone suggested.

“Then let’s spin the bottle.”

“I haven’t played this game in a long time, I’m actually quite excited.”

A few conscientious ones moved their stools to a vacant spot, sat down, and formed a large circle to start arranging drinking cups and an empty bottle.

Truth or Dare had two options.

One, you ask a true question, and the other must answer truthfully.

Two, choose the penalty given by the other, and it must be completed.

Simple and clear!

Chu Jinghe even specifically chose a spot to sit opposite Shen Yan so she could get a clearer view of Shen Yan’s embarrassing moments when it was time to challenge her.

Shen Yan put away her phone and saw Chu Jinghe leaning against Mu Jincheng’s side from across, her gaze cold.

Chu Jinghe hadn’t even spoken yet, but Shen Yan already knew she was up to no good.

“It has started!”

“From left to right, Mr. Song, you go first.”

Song Xuan smiled, “Then I’ll take the liberty.”

Song Xuan spun the bottle, and it slowly stopped towards Shen Yan’s side, everyone staring at where the bottle pointed and held their breath.

In the end, it didn’t stop at Shen Yan, but instead stopped at Qin Dingyue.

Qin Dingyue scratched his head and smiled, “I choose Truth.”

Song Xuan asked about a certain rumor, and Qin Dingyue told the truth.

It wasn’t anything serious, so everyone just hushed and moved on.

Next was Mu Jincheng.

He tried to control the spin to land on Shen Yan, but it ended up pointing at Chu Jinghe.

Chu Jinghe immediately put on a shy look, and everyone cheered for Mu Jincheng to ask.

The two had just argued during filming, so things were still a bit awkward. Mu Jincheng glanced secretly at Shen Yan and noticed she wasn’t looking their way at all—instead, she was typing on her phone with a slight smile, which seemed particularly irritating.

Mu Jincheng squinted his eyes, thinking if Shen Yan was again trying to hook up a patron.

Seemingly in defiance, Mu Jincheng bluntly asked Chu Jinghe about when she planned to marry him.

Immediately, the jeering in the room intensified, Shen Yan slightly furrowed her brow and continued to type on her phone.

Mu Jincheng glanced towards Shen Yan again, and she seemed to have blocked everyone out, completely immersed in her phone.

Mu Jincheng gritted his teeth, smiled, and turned towards Chu Jinghe.

Seeing Chu Jinghe’s shy demeanor, Mu Jincheng suddenly realized he no longer felt the same thrill he once had towards her.

It suddenly calmed him down.

It was like boiling water that suddenly got mixed with ice water.

The searing hotness in her heart cooled down!

As Chu Jinghe replied, waves of noisy clamor spread throughout the private room.

However, Shen Yan was staring at the message on her cellphone, slightly furrowing her brow.

Li Xu had sent her a few more cryptic messages.

She guessed the gist of them immediately.

Someone was watching Li Xu.

Jian Yu wanted to use Li Xu as a knife to stab her!

She dared not provoke the Shen and Qi families herself, so she thought of using someone else to do her dirty work.

And there was also the Chi Family that Jian Yu hated now.

From that one time with Chi Chengyu, Shen Yan could tell.

Pressing her phone, Shen Yan realized that everyone’s eyes were on her, and the private room had suddenly quieted down.

Shen Yan looked up to meet Chu Jinghe’s slightly smug eyes, yet her face portrayed an apologetic expression.

Qin Dingyue, seeing Chu Jinghe turn to Shen Yan, felt anxious for Shen Yan.

“Shen Yan, sorry about this, but it’s your turn. Do you choose truth or dare?”

“I don’t mind,” Shen Yan gestured, indicating that they could decide for her.

Seeing Shen Yan’s fearless demeanor, Chu Jinghe curled her lips into a smile. “Then I’ll take the liberty of choosing dare for you. Right now, the internet is abuzz with your CP with Su Huai, even making it to the top of trending searches. As the best CP, Shen Yan, it wouldn’t be too much to ask for you to kiss Su Huai, right?”

Chu Jinghe proposed this challenge with an innocent look and tone, infusing the already lively atmosphere with a sense of awkward eeriness.

Su Huai usually didn’t provoke anyone, but this woman was giving him quite the discomfort in such a distasteful manner.

Wen Yan twisted his brows, about to speak up for Shen Yan, but Su Huai spoke first: “Acting is one thing, but it’s just a little game right now; there’s no need to go that far. Miss Chu, haven’t you considered that the person I like might get jealous? And I might miss out on a wonderful relationship because of this?”

Chu Jinghe felt a bit uneasy about being retorted as she proposed this.

Su Huai stepping forward to speak for Shen Yan and the strange looks from everyone else instantly made Chu Jinghe feel as if she’d been slapped several times.

Somewhat angrily embarrassed,

She suppressed her emotions and forced an awkward smile: “I didn’t know you had someone you liked! Is it someone from within our circle or someone outside? You know, your words have really piqued everyone’s interest!”

She asked half-jokingly, seemingly thinking herself to be humorous.

Everyone: “…”

Mu Jincheng’s face darkened.

Can’t she watch her words?

Did Chu Jinghe really not understand that Su Huai was using his words to mock her?

Indirectly accusing her of meddling in others’ relationships, turning the game into a showcase of her morally questionable character.

Perhaps knowing that her request was indeed distastefully excessive, Chu Jinghe stiffly smiled at Shen Yan, saying, “Well, then I’ll change to truth.”

Her tone nearly accused Shen Yan of not being a good sport.

Shen Yan nodded slightly: “Ask.”

“What kind of person does Shen Yan truly like?”

As soon as these words fell, Mu Jincheng subconsciously tensed up, eyes glued to Shen Yan’s lips, waiting for her response.

Shen Yan smiled lightly: “As of now, I don’t truly like anyone.”

Chu Jinghe frowned slightly, unwilling to miss an opportunity to trouble Shen Yan: “Is it that you don’t want to say, or is there really no one?”

“There isn’t anyone,” Shen Yan replied crisply, also preventing much potential hassle.

Even if there were, why should I tell you?

It’s just a little game, nobody should be taking it seriously.

She wasn’t going to spill her truth to this crowd unless they all proved worthy of her sincere treatment.

Chu Jinghe tugged at her lips, “It seems like you don’t really want to play this game.”

With that remark, Shen Yan managed to offend everyone.

Everyone was playing seriously, answering questions earnestly, and here you were, brushing everyone off, as if you were too good to join in?
