Chapter 514 You Are the Only One
Faced with Xiao Yunyun’s frankness, Shen Yuechuan didn’t know whether he should be distressed or appreciate her loveliness.
A maid of honor standing by held Xiao Yunyun’s shoulder. “What does it matter if you don’t know how to play? Yuechuan is skillful at it! You will master it in ten minutes if he teaches you!”
Xiao Yunyun looked at Shen Yuechuan doubtfully. “Really?”
“Well.” There was a smile by Shen Yuechuan’s elegant lips. “I have a magic touch.”
The maid was smart and said cooperatively, “Then it’s settled. Yuechuan is responsible for Yunyun and we are ready to get started!”
Xiao Yunyun moved to Shen Yuechuan’s side and took out her phone to ask Shen Yuechuan to download the app for her.
She tried to control it but failed. She asked curiously, “Shen Yuechuan, how many people have you taught before?”
Shen Yuechuan’s fingers flexibly tapped on the screen. While they waited for the app to download, he lifted his head and looked at Xiao Yunyun with a mysterious smile. “Why do you ask?”
Xiao Yunyun felt embarrassed inside but she still looked directly into Shen Yuechuan’s eyes. “I just wonder if I’ll ever run into an apprentice sister...”
Shen Yuechuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Yunyun for quite a while. Then his smile became deep. “Nope. You’re my first apprentice and the last, which means you are the only one.”
“...” Xiao Yunyun was left in a blank and couldn’t say anything for quite a while.
You are the only one.
This sentence sounded so intimate.
“...”
While he admired Xiao Yunyun’s flustered look, Shen Yuechuan felt extremely happy. After a while, he decided to let Xiao Yunyun relax. “Don’t think too much. From the people I know, you’re the only one who doesn’t know how to play such an easy game. I will have no chance to take another apprentice.”
“...” So that was the truth.
All the strangeness in Xiao Yunyun’s heart suddenly disappeared. She calmly looked at Shen Yuechuan and said, “You are very disappointed, right?”
Shen Yuechuan stared at Xiao Yunyun deeply for quite a while. “I don’t have to be disappointed now that you are the only apprentice.”
Shen Yuechuan’s words always sounded like that. It seemed to be praising you when you heard them at first, but in fact, it was deep and full of traps.
Xiao Yunyun didn’t bother to think about the traps in Shen Yuechuan’s sentence. She just rolled her eyes at him.
Hmm, she wouldn’t be so easily cheated again!
Shen Yuechuan’s smile became weak. Then he passed the phone back to Xiao Yunyun. “The app is ready.”
Xiao Yunyun took over the phone. She glanced a bit and found that everyone was looking at her in a strange way.
She took a look at herself and then at Shen Yuechuan. She realized that they sat very close and looked... very intimate.
Xiao Yunyun hastily sat still but their smile was even more symbolic, as if her last action was to try to cover something up.
Well, she had completely fallen in the trap and had no way to explain.
Shen Yuechuan opened a playing room. Others could input the number of the room to get in.
Xiao Yunyun saw Shen Yuechuan’s movements. She suddenly said without thinking, “Why does it feel so vicious?”
“Ha!” A bridesmaid added to Xiao Yunyun’s words with a certain meaning, “It feels like that! Yunyun, do you mean that?”
“Eh, no...”
Xiao Yunyun wanted to explain. But before she could, they were already laughing it out.
Their bold laughter, made Xiao Yunyun’s face flush even more and look very awkward—she really wasn’t that complicated.
When the laughter subsided, the girl who had entertained them said seriously, “I mean it’s like a group scuffle. What are you thinking about? Why does Yunyun look so troubled?”
The girl looked too pure and innocent so that all of them took back their smiles and told Xiao Yunyun that they hadn’t thought as deeply as she did.
“...” Xiao Yunyun finally knew how well they could perform.
By then, a best man cleared his throat and said, “Well, Yunyun is still young. Don’t scare her. Yuechuan, we’ll get started after you tell Yunyun the rules.
Shen Yuechuan always described plans on the meeting for the shareholders so he had formed the habit of explaining things in a brief and clear way. Xiao Yunyun understood most of it after hearing his explanation once.
Then the game began.
To take care of Xiao Yunyun who was new in the game, they played a few rounds as practice. Shen Yuechuan explained to Xiao Yunyun while playing. Xiao Yunyun was smart and quickly got familiar with the rules of the game.
But it didn’t mean she wouldn’t become an idiot in the game.
From the fifth round onwards, the one who lost had to be punished.
Just like how the bridesmaid said, Shen Yuechuan was a master of the game. If he wanted, he could control the one who would win or lose.
But that day, Shen Yuechuan wasn’t in the mood to tease anyone. He only wanted to make sure that Xiao Yunyun wouldn’t lose.
The second master on the table was Luo Xiaoxi. After two rounds, she observed Shen Yuechuan’s intention and gave the bridesmaids a look.
Those bridesmaids had been friends with Luo Xiaoxi for many years and instantly understood her meaning. They all played against Xiao Yunyun together.
“I have twenty-eight ‘five’!”
“Twenty-nine ‘five’!”
Then it was Shen Yuechuan’s turn to claim his number.
Shen Yuechuan glanced at everyone on the table and understood it was a trap, after they claimed such big numbers. If he didn’t lose, Xiao Yunyun would be the one to lose.
Xiao Yunyun was no opponent to them, so he should lose instead.
“Thirty-five ‘five’!” Shen Yuechuan calmly said.
Xiao Yunyun didn’t notice that Shen Yuechuan was doing it on purpose so she stared at him. “Shen Yuechuan, why are you calling such a big number? It’s impossible!”
“If you think it’s impossible, you can open mine!” Shen Yuechuan’s tone sounded pretty aggressive.
“Okay!” Xiao Yunyun was the first to show his phone and said in the same aggressive tone, “I have only three ‘five’!”
“Hahaha...” Luo Xiaoxi smiled meaningfully and showed everyone her screen. Then she leaned over to ask Su Yicheng, “Honey, have you got the total number?”
Su Yicheng took a look at the phone and said, “There are thirty ‘five’ in total.”
Xiao Yunyun patted her chest and looked at Shen Yuechuan happily. “It’s lucky that you called blindly. If you call thirty, the one behind me will open, right?”
A young and beautiful bridesmaid hummed and said, “Of course, it definitely will be you. But, this bad luck...” She wanted to say that Shen Yuechuan blocked it for Xiao Yunyun. But Shen Yuechuan’s sharp cold eyes arrived before she could say it aloud. She just altered, “It fell on Yuechuan’s head!”
Luo Xiaoxi looked at Shen Yuechuan with much expectation, “Little Yuechuan, name your pick, Truth or Dare?”
Shen Yuechuan fearlessly smiled, “If I choose Truth... I know what you will ask, but I’m not afraid—I choose Dare!”
“You think you’ll be safe by choosing Dare?” Luo Xiaoxi discussed with everyone else and announced the Dare smilingly, “Kiss the one who sits closest to you!”
At the moment, there were two people who sat closest to Shen Yuechuan.
One was another best man who sat by his right, the other was Xiao Yunyun sitting at his left.
Luo Xiaoxi was really evil, trying to push him to this situation but she still gave him the chance to choose. But in fact the chance was a great dilemma for him—
If Shen Yuechuan chose the best man, once he kissed him, he would be laughed at by them for a whole year.
If he chose Xiao Yunyun, not only that table, the whole hall would cheer about it.
But Shen Yuechuan was the one who had solved so many crises in the group with Lu Boyan. Such a question wasn’t a difficulty to him.
Shen Yuechuan smiled and leaned over to look at Xiao Yunyun, “I choose Yunyun as you wish.”
It was apparent that none of them had expected Shen Yuechuan to be so direct. They were all shocked. After they realized what had happened, they started wooing and the eyes of the guests in the surrounding tables were attracted.
Su Yicheng was the only one who had little expectation about the following scene.
Su Yicheng had worked with Shen Yuechuan for quite a few times. He knew it wasn’t a big deal to him. Shen Yuechuan surely had a good at hand.
While they cheered, the unreasonably involved Xiao Yunyun was shocked.
“Choosing me? Kissing me?
“F**k! Did he get my permission?”
“Wait a minute!” Xiao Yunyun hastily tried to stop the game, “It’s Shen Yuechuan who is supposed to be punished. Why am I involved?”
“I didn’t get you involved on purpose.” Luo Xiaoxi pretended to be sincere, “We said the one sitting closest to Yuechuan. You should blame your bad luck.”
Xiao Yunyun couldn’t refute this. She widened her eyes and looked at Shen Yuechuan, asking him if he really had to do that.
Shen Yuechuan looked innocent and shrugged. “That’s the rule of the game. I have no way out, either.”
Xiao Yunyun asked in a lower voice, “Why don’t you choose the best man by the other side. That would be more intriguing, wouldn’t it?”
“Um—” Shen Yuechuan kept silence for a while. “Among you two, I’m more interested in you.”
“...” It was difficult for Xiao Yunyun to smile then. “Do I have to say thank you?”
“There’s no need.” Shen Yuechuan stared at Xiao Yunyun meaningfully. “This is a good chance to take advantage of you. I just want to grasp the chance. You don’t have to be too polite with me.”
Xiao Yunyun shouted angrily, “Shen Yuechuan!”
Right after the shout, her left hand was held by Shen Yuechuan’s hands.
Shen Yuechuan palm was big with five clean and slim fingers. It was a little warm, which somehow gave her a sense of safety when it covered hers.
Xiao Yunyun was completely shocked and her heart was beating wildly. She couldn’t register the expressions of the others or any sounds. Shen Yuechuan was the only one left in her eyes.
Under everyone’s attention, Shen Yuechuan lowered his head and kissed the back of Xiao Yunyun’s hand.
Then, he freed Xiao Yunyun’s hand without further emotions and there was a mysterious smile by his lips.
“Yuechuan, that’s it?” Luo Xiaoxi asked unbelievably.
“I did what you asked me to.” Shen Yuechuan showed his palms pleading innocence. “You asked me to kiss the one who sat the closest to me but you didn’t name the specific spot.”
Luo Xiaoxi was furious and scolded in a low voice, “What are you doing? I am creating a chance for you!”
Shen Yuechuan smiled. “I know.”
Luo Xiaoxi became mad. “Then why don’t you make good use of it?”
Shen Yuechuan didn’t say anything.
He wanted to make good use of that chance too, but... he didn’t want to get Xiao Yunyun’s kiss in such devious way.
Xiao Yunyun was different from the girls he had met at entertainment venues. A kiss might mean nothing to those girls, but for Xiao Yunyun, it might mean affection and love.
Xiao Yunyun didn’t like him, let alone love him.
And he couldn’t treat the girl he liked disrespectfully.
