Besides the huge iron pot, there were two tents with two big tables, large enough to sit at least twenty people at a time.
There was a large box next to the big iron pot, which was probably filled with ingredients and seasonings.
“As expected, it’s just a meal,” said Xiao Tianlin. “Thank you to all the staff for your hard work.” He bowed to everyone.
The live broadcast was coming to an end, and Xiao Tianlin wanted to do nothing more than to eat and sleep. His dream was coming true!
From the moment the mission was issued, Li Meng felt that things were not that simple. She had written too many novels and always thought that there was always a twist in reality too.
Lin Wan and Li Yanchen didn’t care. Whether it was a meal or otherwise, it was the same to them.
The children were all gathered together. Some were chatting, and others were playing hopscotch.
[I can see everyone!]
[I don’t want to watch them just eat a meal. I want them to play games too!]
[It’s winter. Why do you want them to play games in the cold?]
“Everyone’s early today,” said the director. “We’ll have stir-fried food for dinner. There were some leftover dishes from lunch, and we thought it would be better to just stir-fry them and make it a scrumptious dinner instead of throwing them out.”
[The Festival Group is quite thrifty. This is called killing two birds with one stone. Not only will this save the food and the expenses, but it will also be an opportunity for some families who have a hard time deciding on a meal.] [Why do I feel like laughing at that? Are they talking about the Li family and
Doudou’s family?]
[Hey, don’t say it out loud!]
“It’s quite cold today, so we should eat early and go home to rest. We’ll have dinner at 5:20 p.m.,” said the director. “Please take a seat, everyone. Or you can play outside if you want. We’ll call you when we are about to serve the food.”
“Let’s go in. It’s warm inside,” said Lin Wan to Xia MO with her hands in her pockets.
The adults entered the tent, while the children chose to play outside.
The children were still young, so it was unsuitable for them to play Truth or Dare. So, the director had an extra table placed at the side for the children.
“Adults and children are separated…. This arrangement is obviously unusual, Li Meng whispered into Nannan’s ear. “Why do we have to sit separately from the children during a group meal? Do adults have to obtain food after playing some kind of game?”
Nannan’s eyes were wide open. Li Meng’s words made a lot of sense. Today was the second day of the new year. There might be some riddles and games. The dishes would be served if they got things right. If they got it wrong, they might be punished!
Nannan sighed as she thought about Michael. They were going to go hungry today.
Nannan sighed softly. “It can’t be! Does it have to be so cruel?”
“The children aren’t participating. They’ll eat their own food.” Li Meng already thought about everything.
“I’m on a diet.” Nannan made an excuse.
When the chef started the fire, everyone sat around the table and waited for the food. However, they were only served wine.
“D*mn it! Is it a finger-guessing game?” asked Xia Mo. “It’s possible. They don’t usually serve us wine,” Lin Wan said.
However, a spinning wheel soon appeared.
“What is that? Whoever turns the wheel will have to drink? Or… eat?” Everyone tried to guess about the game they were supposed to play for food.
[Is it Truth or Dare?]
[I was just about to say it’s Truth or Dare. Otherwise, why would I get the wheel?]
[It’s such a childish game!]
The director looked at them. “I’m sure all of you might know by now what’s going on. If someone spins the wheel, they have to choose between Truth or Dare. If they can’t fulfill that, they will have to drink. It’s all white wine. 52% alcohol.”
Li Meng heaved a sigh of relief. At least the rules were clear.
‘Truth or Dare? This is such a cliché game!’ Lin Wan cursed inwardly. ‘Wait… If someone asks me about my first kiss or first love, I can say it’s Li Yanchen, but everyone here thinks Li Yanchen is a divorcee. If they ask him the same question…’
Lin Wan decided to choose “Dare” when her turn came.
The roasted peanuts were served first.
The children entered the tent and sat at the table that was set aside for them. The food was served and the game began.
[Truth or Dare! I guessed right!]
[But Xuanxuan and the others aren’t participating. Now I will never know if he likes someone.]
[Xuanxuan is still so young… Why are you even asking such a question?]
[I’m full of curiosity about sister Wan’s past. I really want to know how many people were after Sister Wan.]
[I want to know why Mr. Li got married at the age of twenty. Or… did he marry because he already had a child?]
The comments were filled with speculations about the guests’ private lives.
[If we ask them questions about the children, will they answer? I mean, they don’t need to drink…]
[Are you trying to kill Mr. Li? There are three children in Mr. Li’s family.]
[Maybe Mr. Li will throw his son under the bus to protect himself.]
[That makes sense. It’s useless to sit here and speculate. The other parents are also participating in the games.]
“Since it’s a game, we’ll involve the viewers as well. We’ll randomly take a screenshot of the question to ask the guests,” said the director.
“Huh?” Everyone was shocked.
There were hundreds of viewers online. There would be too many questions.
The viewers were ecstatic to hear that.
[Yay! We can ask questions!]
[This is getting interesting.]
[Everyone, hit them with your best questions. The comments will keep rolling and one of our questions might get selected!]
“How’s your alcohol tolerance?” Lin Wan asked. She decided to prepare for the worst.
“I can’t fall even after a thousand glasses,” said Li Yanchen.
“Ms. Lin, my dad’s nickname is Half a Cup of Beer,” Li Zexin said. Lin Wan wanted to laugh, but she realized this was going to be difficult.
“I can drink half a bottle,” said Lin Wan.
In her original world, she used to drink a lot of beer with Yang Ruoxi. Her tolerance was decent. However, when it came to white wine, she couldn’t drink more than half a bottle of it at most.
How could he let Lin Wan drink so much? White wine was strong.
“Don’t listen to Xinxin’s nonsense. Watch me!” Li Yanchen patted his chest. His confidence made Lin Wan feel calm.
The other guests were also whispering to each other.
The director felt that he had come up with a clever idea. The suggestion to screenshot questions from the viewers increased the popularity of the show.
Everyone wanted their question to be selected. The comments filled the screen endlessly. On the internet, the “We Are Also Very Ordinary” show was trending..
