Chapter 671: Chapter 235 - Both Girlfriends Drank Too Much? Great! (8000 Words, Request for Monthly Pass)_3
"Does anyone know our birthday star’s favorite poem? Who wrote it?"
The moment the host finished speaking, someone immediately answered.
"I know this one! Bai’s favorite is ’Luo Shen Fu’ by Cao Zhi."
"Congratulations to this student, you got it right!"
As one question after another was asked, eight red packets were snapped up by those who answered correctly. The atmosphere instantly reached a new peak.
"Alright, that concludes our first fun game! Next up, we’ll play ’Word Guess’!" the host announced. "We’ll choose three teams of two from the audience. One person will describe the word on their card without actually saying it, and their partner has to guess what it is.
"This round is three minutes long. Each team will draw randomly, and the team with the most correct guesses wins this grand prize red packet I’m holding!"
The game was indeed very simple. Most of the students present had played it during various school activities. Even those who hadn’t played it before understood the rules instantly.
Bai Weixi looked at Li Yuan with longing, her eyes fluttering as she blinked rapidly. The implication couldn’t have been clearer. She was all but shouting, "I want to play!"
Li Yuan squeezed Bai Weixi’s small hand and nodded with a smile. "Alright, we’ll be a team."
As soon as Li Yuan and Bai Weixi signed up, Wang Yuchen immediately pulled Xu Zhi to register as well.
The host laughed. "We still need one more team! Any other students want to participate? Feel free to team up!"
Down in the audience, Ding Shanshan watched Li Yuan and Bai Weixi go on stage. She leaned close to Zhong Tingyue’s ear and teased, "Tingyue, Li Yuan and Weixi are on stage. Want to go up there and play with me?"
Zhong Tingyue saw the playful look in Ding Shanshan’s eyes and shook her head. She had only come to Bai Weixi’s birthday party today because she was invited. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come on her own. Besides, Li Yuan hadn’t even mentioned it to her, and his other girlfriend, Xia Zhijin, wasn’t here either. At this moment, I just want to sit here and quietly enjoy their happiness. Today, Bai Weixi is the main character, not me.
Zhong Tingyue smiled faintly. "If you want to play, you and Tingrou should go."
Ding Shanshan was indeed itching to try, especially since she had just managed to grab a red packet, which had gotten her excited. "Tingrou, let’s go! We’ll snatch all of Li Yuan’s red packets!"
"Sure!" Xu Tingrou agreed without hesitation.
As the fun little games continued one after another, nearly two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Everyone present, with the exception of Zhong Tingyue who hadn’t participated at all, had managed to grab several red packets by playing the games. Wang Yuchen, who was particularly outgoing and knew Li Yuan and Bai Weixi well, was holding a double-digit number of red packets, a huge smile plastered on her face. Each red packet contained one hundred yuan, so more than ten of them was equivalent to two months of living expenses.
The host had been running the games the whole time, expertly guiding the atmosphere until her throat was hoarse from talking so much.
"Alright everyone, the fun games for today’s birthday party have come to an end! Did you all have fun? Did you get your fill of red packets?"
Wang Yuchen, Wang Lisha, Ding Shanshan, and the others all waved the red packets in their hands and shouted back, "We had a great time! It was amazing!"
The host’s tone shifted. "Now, before we move on to the next event, we’re going to have everyone offer their birthday wishes to our birthday star. We’ll go in order of who snatched the most red packets. So, whoever has the most, please raise your hand and come on stage first!"
The moment she finished speaking, everyone in the crowd began to size each other up, comparing their hauls of red packets. A quiet chatter broke out.
"Leilei, how many red packets did you get? I saw you in the ’Music Zone’ round. You guessed so many songs and were way ahead of everyone. You must have snatched them until your hands were sore!"
"Hee hee, hold on, let me count... I got a total of nine red packets, and four of them were from guessing songs. Impressive, right? I just don’t know if I’m in first place."
"Probably not. I think Weixi’s high school classmate got the most. And that guy next to her got quite a few, too."
"Meiqi, how many did you get? Don’t tell me you got the least?"
"I only got four, but I don’t think that’s the least. Someone else has that honor. I didn’t even see her go on stage once."
"Huh? You mean Tingyue? Hahaha, you’re right. She hasn’t been on stage at all from start to finish. That’s a little awkward. Tingyue must be feeling shy..."
"Hahaha, it is pretty awkward. If I were her, I probably couldn’t resist getting up there to steal a bit of Weixi’s spotlight..."
Soon, the counts were tallied.
Unsurprisingly, Wang Yuchen was first with fourteen red packets, Wang Lisha was second with eleven, and Xu Zhi was third with ten.
Wang Yuchen walked onto the stage. As the band played, she looked at the ethereal Bai Weixi and began to speak with deep emotion, offering her birthday wishes.
"Bai, we’ve known each other for over six years, since we were in middle school. I’ve witnessed every single one of your birthdays since I’ve known you, but today has to be the most special one.
"That’s because we’re here in Modu, away from our parents and our hometown. And also because you’ve found your destined one...
"Bai, I wish that in the days to come, you’ll be free of all worries and always have a smile on your face. I hope you and a certain someone continue to walk on sweetly together, into the next beautiful Chapter of your lives."
