There was nothing she could do. Dongfang Huaizhu had to admit defeat. She shrugged and said with a smile, "Alright, I lose. You can do whatever you want with me, kill me or torture me."
Hearing this, Wangquan Zui felt relieved. He narrowed his eyes into slits, curled up the corner of his mouth, and said, "Well, Sister Huaizhu, we won't make things as difficult for you as we did for Li Zizai. Just give my brother a kiss, and you'll pass. How about that?"
Dongfang Huaizhu quickly said, "How do you know I'll choose the daring task? What if I want to choose the truth - telling?"
Wangquan Zui seemed to have anticipated Dongfang Huaizhu's words. He then said, "Okay, do you want to choose the truth - telling?" As he spoke, Wangquan Zui deliberately showed a sly look in his eyes.
It sent a chill down Dongfang Huaizhu's spine. She quickly said, "Alright, I'll choose the daring task!"
Seeing this, Wangquan Zui quickly grabbed Dongfang Huaizhu's arm and pulled her in front of his elder brother, Wangquan Baiye. "Come on. I'm very kind. Just kiss his forehead."
"Ah? You didn't say where to kiss just now!" Dongfang Huaizhu quickly said.
Wangquan Zui gave a charming smile and then said, "I don't care. Rules are rules, and we make them. You're not going to break the rules, are you?"
Hearing this, Li Zizai beside them frowned quickly. "Playing dirty won't do. Otherwise, wasn't the slap I took just now in vain?"
Only then did Dongfang Huaizhu understand that it was a trap the others had set for her. Wangquan Zui really intended to bring her and Wangquan Baiye together.
"But kissing... such a thing..." Dongfang Huaizhu frowned, looking shy.
"What's the big deal? It's just a kiss between friends. It's the most normal thing," Li Quzhuo said. He then bravely grabbed Li Zizai beside him and pulled him closer.
Without warning, Li Quzhuo pressed his red lips on Li Zizai's forehead before he could even react.
With a scream full of disgust, Li Zizai panicked and pushed Li Quzhuo away.
"Ugh! So disgusting! My first kiss, and it's from you! Give me back my first kiss!" Li Zizai frowned angrily and pointed at Li Quzhuo.
"Really? Brother, was that really your first kiss? Don't tell me that at your age, you still kept your first kiss!" Li Quzhuo took the opportunity to fight back quickly.
"Alright, stop arguing. In short, Sister Huaizhu, see? It's a very normal thing. Hurry up and start!" Wangquan Zui put his hands on his hips and looked at Dongfang Huaizhu.
By this time, Dongfang Huaizhu couldn't say much. She closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and leaned forward. Her red lips gently landed on Wangquan Baiye's forehead.
After the kiss, Dongfang Huaizhu quickly dodged and hid in a small corner. Her heart was pounding. Recalling the scene just now, she still felt a flutter in her heart.
All kinds of thoughts were jumbled in her mind, impossible to sort out. At this moment, Dongfang Huaizhu didn't know whether to follow her feelings and truly accept Wangquan Baiye's love or to hide this feeling deep in her heart and never let it out.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Huaizhu felt a bit of a headache. Coupled with the fact that she had drunk quite a bit of green plum wine before, she felt dizzy. Dongfang Huaizhu walked up to Wangquan Baiye, trying to appear calm.
"This green plum wine is really good. But the best green plum wine must be paired with grilled fish to taste even more delicious. I'll go to the lake to catch some fish for everyone to taste. How about that?"
Wangquan Baiye frowned and looked at the woman in front of him who had just been in close contact with him. In just a short moment, she could act as if nothing had happened.
"How about letting the Li brothers, Li Quzhuo and Li Zizai, go? They are more skilled and can catch fish faster," Wangquan Baiye said with a frown.
"No need. Only the fish caught by oneself can bring a special kind of deliciousness when tasted," Dongfang Huaizhu explained with a smile.
Then Wangquan Baiye suddenly said, "How about I go with you?"
Dongfang Huaizhu shook her head with a smile and said, "No need. I'll just take my little sister, Dongfang Qinlan. You guys rest here for a while. We'll be back soon."
Seeing Dongfang Huaizhu so determined, Wangquan Baiye could only nod. But looking at the backs of Dongfang Huaizhu pulling Dongfang Qinlan away, a bitter taste welled up in his heart. Didn't this woman really have feelings for him?
"Little sister, come with me," Dongfang Huaizhu walked up to Dongfang Qinlan who was feasting on the hot - pot. She grabbed her collar and lifted her up.
The two leaped into the air, flying along in the moonlight. Dongfang Huaizhu looked at Wangquan Baiye below, who seemed to be lost in thought, and her face darkened.
"Sister, where are we going?" Dongfang Qinlan pouted. She was obviously unhappy about being suddenly pulled away just now.
"Qinlan, come with me to the lake to calm down, okay?" Dongfang Huaizhu's eyes were as gentle as water, and her long hair gently hung on both sides of her face. She said softly.
"Okay," Dongfang Qinlan could only nod.
After a while, the two landed by a lake. This was the lake where Dongfang Huaizhu often met Wangquan Baiye in the original story, and it was also the lake where the two officially confirmed their relationship.
At this moment, the light on the lake was rippling with gentle waves. Occasionally, a gentle breeze blew, causing layers of ripples that broke the moon in the lake into pieces. But in Dongfang Huaizhu's eyes, it had a special kind of beauty.
At this time, Dongfang Qinlan didn't care. She was on the boat, looking left and right, moving around boredly.
Simply, Dongfang Qinlan took off her shoes and put her feet into the lake water, swaying them back and forth, enjoying the coolness of the lake water.
And at this moment, in the Shenhuo Manor.
Jin Renfeng was sitting upright on a wicker chair in the courtyard. There was good yellow wine beside him. A young servant poured the wine from the wine pot into a cup and then presented it to Jin Renfeng.
Jin Renfeng's black long hair gently fell behind his head along the wicker chair. His whole body was slumped on the chair, looking extremely at ease.
However, at this moment, suddenly, the courtyard gate was pushed open abruptly. A short young servant rushed in hurriedly and then said, "Senior brother, we've finally found Miss Huaizhu's location."
Jin Renfeng slowly brought the yellow wine in the cup to his lips and then drank it in one gulp. "Where?"
The young servant didn't dare to show the slightest bit of slowness. He quickly said, "At the Huaizhu Pavilion. Dongfang Huaizhu and Dongfang Qinlan are having a drinking spree with the siblings of the Wangquan family and two unknown men."
Hearing this, Jin Renfeng suddenly frowned and slammed the cup in his hand to the ground.
Suddenly, the broken pieces scattered in all directions. The two young servants were so scared that they quickly dodged to a distance.
