Dedicated to studying, yet forced into a chaotic situation.

Chapter 189 Confession Bureau

Everyone came to the living room.

The loud-voiced Yan Ze spoke first, stunned: "What's Brother Pei doing here?"

"It's just...what a coincidence." Shi Sui immediately handed him a scalding hot water glass. "Drink some water."

Chi Yan sat on a single sofa, across the coffee table, looked at Pei Shuoxun on another single sofa, sneered, and asked, "What are you doing on the balcony?"

If people enter through the main gate, that's more normal.

But the person appeared on the balcony, and even covered up with curtains, which looked too much like—a thief!

Pei Shuoxun tilted his head slightly and glanced at Shi Sui.

Coincidentally, Shi Sui was also looking at him, her silence speaking volumes: "You're dead if you dare to say anything out of line."

Pei Shuoxun's lips curled slightly, but he didn't answer directly: "I'm here as a guest, so please don't send me away."

He looked at Chi Yan, but it was as if he was speaking to Shi Sui.

Chi Yan raised an eyelid: "Did you bring a trash bag with you when you visited?"

Shangguan Ying narrowed her eyes, not wanting to miss out on the drama: "Pei Shuoxun, you really do look like a cleaning lady who comes to clean every day."

"Does it look like it?" Pei Shuoxun chuckled softly. "Then it is."

In an instant, a guess popped into Chi Yan's mind.

Carrying a garbage bag, he moved with an air of complete familiarity with everything in the house, as if he were in his own home.

So Pei Shuoxun often visited Shi Sui's house?

He wanted to ask, but he was hesitant to speak.

Yan Ze, whose head was also spinning, couldn't be shut up with hot water. He looked down and noticed, "Brother Pei, you and Shi Sui are wearing the same style of slippers."

“Yes, what a coincidence.” Pei Shuoxun smiled enigmatically.

Chi Yan also noticed their slippers when she looked down; one was pink and the other was blue, they looked like a couple's pair.

Damn, it seems Pei Shuoxun really does come to Shi Sui's house often!

Shi Sui suddenly felt a low pressure, though it wasn't very obvious, she still felt it.

She quickly threw it into the hot cocoa and handed it to Chi Yan: "Here, have something sweet."

Then he glanced at Yan Ze: People won't die if they don't talk.

What a failure it is for a younger brother to anger his older brother! Today, she's going to kick him out the door for Chi Yan!

Chi Yan looked down at the plump creature floating on the hot cocoa, and was momentarily distracted.

Then I heard Shangguan Ying say, "Actually, besides the slippers, I also noticed that there are two toothbrushes in the bathroom."

Chi Yan looked up: "!?"

Holy crap! Are we going to end up living together?!

Just as Shi Sui was about to explain, Song Xinying, who had been silently observing and analyzing, said, "Sui Sui, Pei Shuoxun is really your brother, right? He's the one in the photo... the one with long hair..."

She really had a hard time associating Pei Shuoxun with long hair, which is why it took her so long to ask.

Shi Sui knew she couldn't hide it any longer, and she breathed a sigh of relief, nodding: "Yes, Pei Shuoxun is my brother, not my biological brother, but my sworn brother."

Song Xinying snorted, haughtily saying, "Then why didn't you admit it when I asked you before?"

Shi Sui: "..."

Pei Shuoxun chuckled: "You think I'm embarrassing?"

Yan Ze gasped, his mind suddenly clearing up: "So the photo on Brother Pei's phone was of my sister. I thought it was of my sweetheart. Sigh, I must have been reading too many novels."

When people do something stupid, they even scold themselves.

Chi Yan glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Don't spread rumors in the future."

In the afternoon, everyone set up a celebration banquet in the living room.

Shi Sui is very enthusiastic about popping balloons. The colorful long balloons slowly inflate, are tied in a knot, and then twisted and turned into butterfly fairy wands.

Song Xinying took the balloon fairy wand: "Wow, this is so beautiful! Sui Sui, you are so amazing, how can you do everything?"

Shi Sui: "Life was tough in the past, so we had to set up stalls and perform for money."

She quickly made a balloon tulip and handed it to Shangguan Ying: "Yingying, this flower is for you."

Shangguan Ying happily accepted it and said thank you.

Shi Sui made another balloon puppy, walked to Chi Yan's side, and poked it: "Here you go, happy puppy."

Chi Yan was hanging up ribbons, his dark eyes looking somewhat listless.

At noon, Pei Shuoxun and Xu Chaomu showcased their culinary skills, while he and Yan Ze created some truly awful dishes.

The young master was disappointed with his cooking skills when he tried to cook for the first time.

What's even more infuriating is that Yan Ze, that traitor, actually praised Pei Shuoxun's cooking! Not throwing him out this morning was truly the biggest mistake.

So he secretly vowed to go to New Oriental for further studies.

To win a woman's heart, you must first win her stomach.

Upon hearing Shi Sui's voice, Chi Yan looked down and saw a pink balloon puppy and a girl shaking the puppy.

Shi Sui's eyes curved slightly: "So what if I can't cook? It's not like we can't afford a cook, right?"

Chi Yan: Well, it's his heart that's been captured.

Yan Ze, who was arranging flowers nearby, witnessed this scene.

He didn't have a balloon puppy, so he could only give himself a pitiful hug, feeling like a single dog.

After an afternoon of decorating, the living room was quickly transformed.

Shi Sui made a giant firework balloon and hung it on the ceiling. With ribbons, flowers, and balloons, the atmosphere of the celebration banquet was instantly filled.

At noon, Chi Yan almost blew up the kitchen during the 'cooking competition,' but he became more determined after each defeat and wanted to go back into the kitchen that evening.

To protect the safety of the kitchen, Shi Sui said: I want to eat junk food, I want fried chicken, fries, hamburgers, kebabs, pizza, milk tea...

So that evening, we ordered a table full of "sources of happiness".

The celebratory cake was also brought out; it was a seasonal strawberry tart cake, with bright red strawberries and cream arranged in a small mountain.

Song Xinying: "Congratulations to Sui Sui, Ying Ying, and Xu Zhaomu for winning the gold medal!"

Chi Yan: "Congratulations on winning the gold medal."

When congratulating someone, their eyes are glued to only one person.

Yan Ze shouted, "Congratulations to Shi Sui, Shangguan Ying, and Xu Chaomu for winning the gold medal! You are my role models!"

He has a loud voice; he shouts as if he were a whole group of people.

The atmosphere was lively, and when everyone voted, Sui went to cut the cake.

I don't know who started clapping, but the 8-inch cake was turned into an eight-layer cake.

There were seven people in total. Chi Yan liked desserts, so she ordered more. Shangguan Ying needed to maintain her figure, so she ate less. Xu Chaomu ate the same amount as her. The rest—

When Shi Sui looked up, she met a gaze that politely declined.

Pei Shuoxun couldn't help but recall the night he ate an eight-inch cake all by himself.

Shi Sui understood his meaning and knew he had no ill intentions, so she cut a large piece for Pei Shuoxun.

Pei Shuoxun: Fear.

Yan Ze suggested, "Just eating is a bit boring, how about we play some games?"

"playing what?"

"A game of honesty." Yan Ze magically produced a deck of cards, drew out the two jokers, and said, "Each of us will draw a card. The person with the highest card will ask the person with the lowest card a question. You must answer honestly. If you refuse to answer, you have to drink."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Pei Shuoxun said, "Shi Sui cannot drink alcohol."

Before Shi Sui could speak, Yan Ze chimed in, "Oh right, Brother Chi can't drink either. He gets drunk just from eating a chocolate with a liqueur filling."

Chi Yan: ? What's wrong with Yan Ze today? Why is he so annoying?

You could have just said you couldn't drink alcohol, why bring up liqueur-filled chocolates?

He's so embarrassed.

Yan Ze was not afraid of Chi Yandao's gaze at all. He looked at him and Shi Sui and they had already been paired up.

"...Then, Chi-ge, you and Shi-hui can have a separate table for the kids!"

Shi Sui and Chi Yan sat at the children's table, each holding a glass of milk.

One glass of wine is equivalent to two glasses of milk. If they don't want to tell the truth, you can force-feed them milk until they vomit.

The first round of the game started quickly, with everyone taking turns drawing cards.

Shi Sui was unlucky; she drew a low-ranking card in the first round.

The questioner was Shangguan Ying: "Sui Sui, what type of guy do you like? A cute, cuddly puppy, a domineering wolf, a cool and aloof type, or a young man with a mature, married feel?"
