Chapter 631 — Choosing the Dare Would Be a Tragedy

"Ahem, uh, Brother Yutian, I think there might be a bit of a problem with Little Shu's way of thinking!" An Liwen was so frightened his heart nearly exploded. This would not do! A wife and a concubine might be every man's dream, but it all depended on what kind of wife and concubine they were. If he actually married Shen Yushu and brought her home alongside the other, wouldn't his life be sheer hell? Would he even survive?
"She's just a kid—they all like to fool around." Chen Yuxuan did not think much of it. He assumed his little sister was joking; after all, the whole thing sounded absurd, and his sister's ideas had always been a cut above the ordinary. It was entirely possible she had said it on purpose just to tease An Liwen.
"This doesn't look like fooling around to me!" An Liwen said earnestly. "Brother Yutian, you need to guide your sister properly. This is a new era—how can there still be wives and concubines? It just won't do. You have to teach her a good lesson!"
But before Chen Yuxuan could respond, Shen Yushu spoke first. "This is between me and Sister Yaoyao. What business is it of yours?"
"Gah!" An Liwen was instantly choked speechless. She was right—this was their business. Wasn't he just sticking his nose in where it didn't belong? If he had confessed to Gu Mengyao and she had accepted him, then it would be his business. But he hadn't confessed yet, had he?
"All right, it's Sister Yaoyao's turn to ask a question now!" Shen Yushu shot An Liwen an impatient glare. "Sister Yaoyao, your turn to ask!"
"Me? I..." Gu Mengyao had no idea what to ask. She thought it over, still came up blank, and finally said, "How about I give this right to Little Shu?"
"That works too—let's give it to Little Shu, then!" An Liwen was desperate to make his confession, so how could he possibly object to Gu Mengyao's suggestion?
"Yay, yay, I love asking questions!" Shen Yushu rubbed her hands together eagerly and looked at Su Taizao with a grin. "Taizao哥哥, I'm going to ask my question now?"
"Yeah, go ahead!" Su Taizao nodded too. He was just as anxious to pose a question that would let An Liwen make his confession, so he was in a hurry as well.
"Taizao哥哥, how old were you when you stopped wetting the bed?" Shen Yushu asked.
"Gah?" Su Taizao's eyes went wide. He had not expected Shen Yushu to ask something like that! The question was a little funny, but it struck right at the bone—because Su Taizao had a secret: he had wet the bed since he was little! Few people knew, but those close to him had some inkling; they just never brought it up to his face, for the sake of his dignity.
Back in kindergarten, Su Taizao had once peed all over the child sleeping in the bunk below him! Ever since then, he had never again lived in a school dormitory or any place like it. Even now, he dared not drink too much water at night, because he was afraid of wetting the bed!
This secret was a wound that would never heal. Now that Shen Yushu had suddenly brought it up, Su Taizao found it rather hard to answer! Truth or Dare meant you absolutely had to tell the truth—of course, you could also lie, as long as no one caught you at it!
But Su Taizao did not dare lie. The matter was secret, but people did know, and he even suspected Shen Yushu had asked on purpose precisely because she knew. So the moment he lied, Shen Yushu would call him out, and that would be even more humiliating.
Su Taizao was seething with resentment, yet there was nothing he could do, for the reason was simple: this was just how Shen Yushu was. An Liwen had just been tormented to no end by her—so what was he?
Su Taizao was too embarrassed to tell the plain truth. Surely he could not say that he still wet the bed to this day? How humiliating that would be! But if he did not say it, his only choices were a dare or a penalty drink!
