Chapter 16

After the meal, the male guests voluntarily took over the task of washing the pots.

This made Shen Tang very satisfied. She hated washing dishes the most.

Since there was still plenty of time, Zhao Zhe suggested, "Why don't we play a round of Truth or Dare?"

Shen Tang secretly rolled her eyes. Why did every variety show have this game?

She didn't know if the author was tired of writing it, but she was certainly tired of watching it.

However, doing nothing would bore the audience.

Besides, she couldn't think of anything better to do.

"That's a great idea!" Huo Yingying was the first to agree enthusiastically.

The six of them sat in a circle. Zhao Zhe filled an empty mineral water bottle with seawater and placed it in the middle.

"I assume everyone knows the rules? We'll start with me. Whoever the bottle points to gets to choose between answering a truth or taking on a dare."

"Don't worry, we all know how to play."

"Uh huh!"

"Let's start!"

Zhao Zhe glanced at Shen Tang before spinning the bottle.

Shen Tang's heart skipped a beat when she saw the bottle pointing at her. Her eyelid twitched.

"Sister Tang, will you pick truth or dare?"

In the dim light of the fire, Shen Tang felt Zhao Zhe's face looked somehow malicious.

"Truth," she answered.

Zhao Zhe apologized silently in his heart. The producer had instructed him to ask this question.

"I've seen many online rumors about Sister Tang's relationships. I wonder which ones are real and which ones are fake?"

The others' hearts beat faster. Wasn't this question too explosive?

It was widely known that Shen Tang was vilified for allegedly exploiting relationships for hype.

The person in question, however, remained expressionless. "They're all fake," she stated plainly.

Zhao Zhe's eyes glimmered with gossip. "Oh? So Sister Tang has never actually dated anyone?"

Shen Tang shamelessly rolled her eyes again. "That would be the next question."

【Haha, so the clout chaser has finally admitted it】

【Hope the world never sees another clout chaser, amen】

【There's no way Shen Tang has never dated, hilarious】 The subsequent questions were relatively simple since it was a live show that couldn't be edited. Everyone was more restrained.

When it cycled back to Shen Tang, she spun the bottle towards Zhao Zhe this time.

She slowly bared her teeth in a wicked grin. "Hehehe!"

Zhao Zhe shivered in fear. Scared.jpg

"Which do you pick?"

"Truth!"

"When was your first kiss?"

The online audience instantly grew excited.

【Now that's an adult topic worth watching!】

【We should indeed be watching Sister Tang, what lame questions were those earlier about favorite foods etc.】

【Feel free to ask racier stuff, like details about his first time!】

【Dude, I wanna know too but that's too much. It'll get the stream shut down】

Zhao Zhe mumbled softly.

Shen Tang: "I didn't catch that, could you speak up please?"

Zhao Zhe shut his eyes and yelled, "I've never kissed anyone!"

"Pfft!"

Someone failed to hold in their laughter first, and the room erupted into giggles.

He Yuan leaned his arm around Zhao Zhe's shoulder. "Bro, you've really never kissed anyone?"

"No..." Zhao Zhe sighed. "My family was very strict. I didn't even get close to any girls, much less an actual kiss."

Just then, someone noticed Shen Tang wasn't laughing. "Sister Tang, how come you're not laughing?"

Shen Tang: "It's just not in my nature to laugh much."

Huo Yinyin scooted over and whispered, "Sister Tang, could it be that you haven't kissed anyone either?"

Although she had spoken softly, everyone had microphones on that picked up sounds clearly.

Shen Tang: "......"

"No. What's there to kiss about men? It'll only affect how fast I earn money!"

Huo Yingying nodded in vague understanding. "Oh, so that means you haven't kissed either."

Shen Tang: "......"

Girl, why did you have to blurt it out like that?

【??? I don't believe it】

【So the alleged clout chaser is actually that innocent?】

【Pfft, now she's back to pretending to be pure again, don't let her fool you!】

Since the guests' phones had been confiscated, they were oblivious to the lively discussions online.

This question seemed to have opened the floodgates. By the end, almost everyone had gotten a turn.

Well dang, they were all virgins. Let's not laugh at one other. As for whether they were truthful or acting, that remained to be seen.

They played until late into the night before finally feeling tired and resting.

The two girls shared the only sleeping bag while the guys slept on the other side.

Shen Tang dreamed she was being tightly coiled by a giant snake, unable to move at all.

When she opened her eyes, she discovered Huo Yingying had all four limbs wrapped tightly around her in a viselike hug.

She nudged her awake. "Yingying, wake up."

Only then did Huo Yingying open her eyes. When she came to her senses, her face flushed red as she hastily let go.

"Sorry about that, I tend to toss and turn in my sleep."

"I noticed," Shen Tang said.

The morning air was crisp and fresh. Everyone else was still asleep as Shen Tang stood barefoot on the beach, stretching leisurely.

Sunshine filtered through the clouds, glimmering on the sea surface and bathing Shen Tang's figure in a golden glow.

The sea breeze lightly toyed with her silky hair, blowing strands right into viewers' hearts.

Those who had woken up early to watch the stream caught their breath at the sight.

【Gotta admit, the alleged clout chaser does have good looks...】

【Indeed...】

"Morning!" Everyone gradually woke up and encountered the biggest problem—getting cleaned up.

"Looks like we'll have to go find one of the supply bags. At the very least we have to wash our faces and brush teeth."

"Let's split into two groups."

With four guys and two girls, it was perfectly three to a group.

Shen Tang looked over the few male guests and said, "Let's split into three groups— me and Yingying as one group, the rest of you pair up."

She headed off with Huo Yingying without waiting for them to respond.

Zhou Hao, who suggested splitting up initially, smiled awkwardly. He looked to the others only to discover Ao Ziping and He Yuan had already left, leaving only Zhao Zhe behind.

Zhou Hao: "......"

Zhao Zhe sighed, "Come on, let's just go look for supplies too."

On the way, Zhou Hao felt very uncomfortable inside.

He huffed angrily, "Did I offend Sister Shen Tang yesterday? Is that why she seems upset with me?"

Zhao Zhe thought about it. "Shouldn't be... She seems like the type to get even on the spot if someone wrongs her."

The scene from last night was still fresh in his mind. Zhao Zhe shivered remembering it.

He regretted listening to his agent who claimed getting embroiled in dating rumors with Shen Tang would make him popular—that any publicity was good publicity.

He had believed that.

But his agent forgot to mention how sharp Shen Tang's tongue was!

Thinking of that pack of candy and being forced to admit he had never kissed anyone last night, he felt terrible.

His reputation was ruined!!!

That woman really was malicious!
