61: Self-destruction? Truth or Dare

"Is that even possible? Alright then, I'm willing to do chores to offset the rent. Sister Xiao, Xiao Ba, what about you two?"

She was still in her internship period, so her salary was the lowest.

If she could use labor to offset the rent, it was a pretty good proposal.

Lu Hanxiao looked at her, then glanced at Zhang Yu.

Why did she get the feeling that this Landlord was up to his old tricks again?

Yuyao, oh Yuyao, you're so determined to walk right into his trap that not even ten oxen could pull you back.

But on second thought, it wasn't her place to say anything.

Pan Yuyao, who seemed the most innocent, hadn't been conquered by him yet—at least, not for the moment.

As for herself, despite appearing the most experienced, she was the first to surrender.

Who would believe that if they were told?

However, the atmosphere at the dinner table livened up because of this.

Two hours had passed by the time they finished the hot pot.

They had originally only brought out six bottles of beer for the four of them. When cleaning up, they found nearly twenty empty bottles on the table and floor.

Even if the beer had a low alcohol content, drinking too much still made you dizzy.

The three Flight Attendants all had flushed faces, the redness spreading all the way down to their necks and collarbones.

Their naturally fair skin looked even more charming and vibrant.

Since becoming Flight Attendants, they had been flying in the sky constantly. Moments of such uninhibited fun were rare.

So, they had all gotten quite tipsy from this one meal.

"Are you girls still okay? Should we go to sleep?" Zhang Yu asked.

"No, we're not sleeping. It's not easy to get a day off, and we haven't had enough fun yet," Di Xiaoba said.

"Then what should we do next?"

"How about we play cards?"

After Di Xiaoba said this, both Zhang Yu and Lu Hanxiao glanced at her.

"I mean, play card games," Di Xiaoba clarified.

After saying that, she realized something was off. Strange, why did I feel the need to explain that?

"Alright! I want to play too," Pan Yuyao said, perking up.

And so, a card game was set up just like that.

"Sister Xiao, are you playing?" Pan Yuyao asked.

"I'm not playing, I'll just watch you guys," Lu Hanxiao said.

"Then let's play Fight the Landlord."

Di Xiaoba and Pan Yuyao exchanged a look and said in unison, "Landlord, you be the Landlord!"

"Do you two really want to team up against me?" Zhang Yu smiled helplessly, though he didn't mind.

"Let's set the stakes first. What's the penalty for losing?" Di Xiaoba asked.

"How about we play Truth or Dare for the penalty?" Lu Hanxiao, who was watching from the side, suggested.

"Yes, yes! Let's do Truth or Dare!"

The first round began. Each of the three received their hand of cards.

"Sister Xiao, help me check this. What's going on?" Pan Yuyao asked for outside help.

"Your hand is pretty good..." Lu Hanxiao took a look and thought, Good heavens.

Her luck was truly great; in her hand of 17 cards, she actually had two bombs and a pair of jokers.

"Wow, my hand is amazing! Including the jokers, I have three bombs!" Pan Yuyao couldn't help but exclaim.

Zhang Yu heard this and gave a meaningful smile.

We're doomed.

Seeing the Landlord's expression, Di Xiaoba realized that giving it away like that was practically playing with her cards face up.

Zhang Yu was so smart; with a simple calculation, he would know exactly what cards everyone held.

Pan Yuyao was truly a terrible teammate.

Sure enough, Zhang Yu won the first round as the Landlord.

"Alright, Truth or Dare, what do you choose?"

"Let's go with Dare!"

After the two of them consulted, they prepared to accept the penalty.

"Alright, you two, put on your work uniforms and dance to 'APT'," Zhang Yu said with a smile.

"Huh? That's so cheesy. I don't want to."

Pan Yuyao had just finished speaking when she realized she was the one who lost and had dragged Di Xiaoba down with her. She couldn't help but say, "Fine, I'll dance."

Then, the two changed into their uniforms and danced to the music.

It had to be said, although the dance was cheesy, watching them dance was actually quite pleasing to the eye.

No matter how cheesy the dance was, it looked different when performed by pretty girls.

"I'm not convinced! Let's go again!" After the dance ended, Pan Yuyao's competitive spirit flared up.

The second round began. The two of them cooperated quite well.

"Airplane!" Di Xiaoba played six cards and said, "I only have one card left!"

Zhang Yu looked at the cards in his hand, unable to beat it. He was prepared to accept the penalty.

But just then, Pan Yuyao suddenly said, "I have it, I have it!"

And then she played six cards.

Di Xiaoba's pupils dilated in shock: "The Landlord is the one playing against us! Why are you attacking me?"

"Huh?" Pan Yuyao scratched her head. "I have a big hand, and I forgot in the excitement."

Di Xiaoba really suspected her teammate was an AI bot. Sometimes, she really wanted to switch to a human operator.

"It's okay, you only have one card left, right? We're guaranteed to win!"

Pan Yuyao broke up the smallest pair in her hand. "Playing a single 6!"

After she played it, Di Xiaoba didn't move.

"Huh? You can't even beat a 6?" Pan Yuyao was shocked.

At this moment, Zhang Yu took control of the battlefield. He played a high card to crush them, then played out all his remaining cards in one go.

Di Xiaoba had nothing to beat it with.

Hahaha! Lu Hanxiao was laughing so hard on the side she was almost gasping for air.

"Sister Xiao, why don't you take over? We lost again!" Di Xiaoba couldn't help but plead.

"What penalty will you accept this time?" Zhang Yu asked.

"I'll choose Truth." "Me too, Truth."

"Then let's draw cards. Whatever you draw, you answer," Zhang Yu said, holding a stack of Truth cards.

"What is my biggest wish right now?"

Pan Yuyao drew this card, thought for a moment, and said, "My biggest wish is to successfully become a permanent employee at the Airline Company and continue working with Sister Xiao!"

This sentence made Lu Hanxiao feel warm inside.

Pan Yuyao wouldn't lie; this was her honest feeling.

Lu Hanxiao hadn't misjudged Pan Yuyao. Back on the day the interns joined, she had taken a liking to this cute girl with twin tails at first glance.

In the blink of an eye, they had been together for almost a year.

As for Di Xiaoba, the card she drew was, "What is the most unforgettable day of your life?"

She thought for a moment, glanced at everyone, and said, "The most unforgettable day for me was three days ago."

That day, she had taken leave and didn't fly. And she was with Zhang Yu.

She had given away the precious thing she had guarded for over twenty years that day.

For her, it was indeed unforgettable enough.

"Ah, three days ago? What did you do, Xiao Ba?" Pan Yuyao asked, oblivious.

Lu Hanxiao watched Di Xiaoba's expression from the side. No need to ask; this was indirect confirmation.

Di Xiaoba and the Landlord, Zhang Yu, had a story.

She didn't feel any jealousy. Instead, she felt a strange sense of relief, as if she had been isolated and suddenly gained an ally.

She didn't know how to describe her current feelings.

Goodness, she had been unable to find a suitable opportunity to verify it, and yet, they had just exposed themselves during a card game.

Di Xiaoba looked at Lu Hanxiao, her eyes flickering with nervousness.
