Chapter 26

(Continuing updates in the evening, please recommend and collect, hoping for your support.)

As the girls danced, Xia Hou Zhongying stood by the door, holding the DV camera and faithfully recording the entire process. After the girls finished, he replayed the video from the beginning, laughing loudly while pointing at the two fat and thin guys, his laughter causing him to stagger and even shed tears.

Zheng Xiuyan and others were also curious about the video of their dance and gathered around to watch. Seeing the two lazy guys, they couldn't help but laugh.

Because the screen was small and it was inconvenient to watch, and it was held by Xia Hou Zhongying, it wasn't easy to crowd around him. Zheng Xiuyan, displaying her domineering style, snatched the DV camera and called the girls to gather around and watch.

Seeing the girls laugh and occasionally look back at the fat and thin guys, the two assistants blushed with shame, wishing they could die from embarrassment.

After a rest, the girls' enthusiasm didn't wane. It was still early, and they couldn't just sit and chat. They suggested playing a game, with the losers having to perform a show, and the show had to be chosen by everyone.

Performing was the girls' forte, but the four guys looked gloomy.

There was a debate about what game to play. The game had to be interesting, involve everyone, and not be monotonous. These requirements were not easy to meet. After a while of frowning, Xia Hou Zhongying suggested telling jokes, which had to make everyone laugh to pass. If even one person didn't laugh, the person had to perform.

This was interesting. Jokes could make people happy, and making everyone laugh was quite challenging. Even if they didn't laugh, they could still watch the performance. Most people agreed with Xia Hou Zhongying's suggestion, except for a few who were short on material and felt depressed.

Since Xia Hou Zhongying proposed the idea first, everyone agreed to let him start. He wasn't afraid, as he wouldn't have suggested such a rule without some material.

Xia Hou Zhongying thought for two seconds, cleared his throat, and began: "Christmas is coming, and a little boy wants a bicycle. He asks his mother, and she tells him to make a wish to God. The boy is troubled because he is dishonest, and even if God hears him, He won't listen. So he decides to go to the church to confess. But when he gets there, he changes his mind. The next day, the church's priest finds that the statue of the Virgin Mary is missing, and there is a letter left in its place. The priest opens the letter and reads: 'Dear God, I have your mother. If you want to redeem her, bring a bicycle tonight in exchange. Thank you! You know my address.'"

Before Xia Hou Zhongying finished, some people started laughing. When he finished, everyone burst into laughter. Zheng Xiuyan tried hard not to laugh but couldn't hold back, and she said, "You're not a good person. Even your jokes are about kidnapping and extortion."

Xia Hou Zhongying laughed, saying, "As long as I pass, who cares what kind of joke it is."

Jin Taeyeon, sitting to Xia Hou Zhongying's right, was next. After thinking for a while, she told a joke but failed to make everyone laugh, so she had to sing a song as requested.

Jin Taeyeon smiled, took her guitar, and started playing and singing "Because I Am a Girl" by KISS. This song is known as the most touching and tear-inducing classic, causing a storm when it was released in 2002 and setting a record for the highest number of downloads. It is also considered the best song for healing after a breakup.

Jin Taeyeon's voice was slightly low and hoarse but very clear. "Because I Am a Girl" is a sad song, and with her unique voice, it felt like a fresh breeze, gradually drawing everyone into the song's mood.

After the song, even Zheng Xiuyan couldn't help but admire Jin Taeyeon's singing skills, surprised by the talent of this new junior. However, when she saw Xia Hou Zhongying staring at Jin Taeyeon with a dazed look, she became furious and kicked him, saying, "Still looking? Your eyes are bulging out. How embarrassing."

Zheng Xiuyan's words made Jin Taeyeon blush and look down, while the others laughed.

"Hey, Zheng Xiuyan, be a bit more ladylike. You're a girl, and you might not get married if you behave like this," Xia Hou Zhongying said angrily, having been kicked for no reason.

"What's it to you if I get married or not? What are you to me?" Zheng Xiuyan was furious.

"I'm your brother," Xia Hou Zhongying said with a grin, shocking Zheng Xiuyan and making her secretly resentful.

After a bit of bickering, the others calmed them down, or the game couldn't continue.

The game continued, with some passing and others performing. After a round, most of the performances were singing and dancing. Zheng Xiuyan felt it wasn't enough and suggested changing the punishment to something like barking like a dog, frog jumping, or performing a scene as directed by everyone.

The girls agreed, but the four guys looked at each other, knowing they would be the ones to suffer. Their objections were ignored, as the majority ruled.

It was Xia Hou Zhongying's turn again. Zheng Xiuyan smirked, as her suggestion was specifically for him. She plugged her ears to avoid hearing his joke and thought about all the times he had annoyed her, making it impossible for her to laugh.

Seeing Zheng Xiuyan's actions, Xia Hou Zhongying shouted, "Zheng Xiuyan, you're cheating! This isn't fair!"

The others laughed, rolling on the ground. Fortunately, it was grass, and they had laid down mats, so they didn't worry about dirtying their clothes.

Everyone, except Xia Hou Zhongying, had already performed or failed in the previous round. They wanted to see him perform and supported Zheng Xiuyan.

With so many disadvantages, even if Xia Hou Zhongying told a good joke, some people would force themselves not to laugh. In the end, he couldn't avoid performing.

"I suggest this time the punishment is that you confess to one of the guys here, ha ha..." Zheng Xiuyan burst into laughter before finishing, lying on the ground and slapping the ground with her right hand.

The other six girls also burst into laughter, falling in a heap.

The four guys turned pale.

"No way, I can't do this, ugh..." Thinking about the scene, Xia Hou Zhongying felt his stomach churn and started to gag.

"Big Sister Xiuyan, this is too much. How about we change it?" Seeing Xia Hou Zhongying's discomfort, Lin Yoon-a couldn't bear it and suggested.

"Yeah, yeah..." The other girls also joined in.

"Alright," Zheng Xiuyan, who had thought of a good idea to tease Xia Hou Zhongying, was disappointed that he was already gagging. After a moment, she said, "If not guys, how about girls? There are seven, no, six of them. Choose one to confess to, ha ha..."

The other six girls were upset, wondering why only they were included and not Zheng Xiuyan. They insisted on including her or choosing someone else.

"Fine, I'll be included," Zheng Xiuyan thought, believing Xia Hou Zhongying wouldn't choose her, and agreed.

"You can start choosing," the other six girls watched Xia Hou Zhongying with interest, curious about who he would choose and how he would confess.

The three assistants were also excited, hoping their punishment would be the same. They planned to lose when it was their turn.

Knowing he couldn't avoid it, Xia Hou Zhongying stood up reluctantly, first looking at Xu Zhuxian on his left, scaring her and making her hide behind Lin Yoon-a, saying, "Brother, I can't do it."

Xia Hou Zhongying then looked at Lin Yoon-a, who was excited. She didn't mind being the protagonist in such an exciting game and said, "Brother, choose me? I've never received a confession from a boy, only love letters. It's not satisfying. Come on."

Lin Yoon-a's words almost made Xia Hou Zhongying spit blood. He quickly looked at the next person, Kwon Yoo-ri.

After Xia Hou Zhongying looked away, Lin Yoon-a pouted, saying, "I thought I might receive my first confession today, but it seems I won't."

Lin Yoon-a's voice made everyone laugh and cry.

Kwon Yoo-ri smiled at Xia Hou Zhongying, not scared or concerned about being chosen, as it was just a game.

Xia Hou Zhongying then skipped 10-year-old Zheng Xiujing and stared at Zheng Xiuyan for a long time.

Zheng Xiuyan didn't pay attention at first, but as Xia Hou Zhongying kept staring, she became scared, thinking he might choose her. She was angry but also a bit hopeful.

Just as everyone thought Xia Hou Zhongying would choose Zheng Xiuyan, he looked away, making her secretly relieved but also furious. She wasn't sure if she was angry because he didn't choose her or because he was teasing her.

Xia Hou Zhongying then looked at Huang Meiying, who was also smiling, and finally at Jin Taeyeon.

Seeing that Xia Hou Zhongying had looked at everyone but hadn't chosen anyone, Jin Taeyeon blushed and stared at the ground, her heart racing.

Xia Hou Zhongying looked at everyone, closed his eyes, and made the girls want to beat him up for the suspense.

After two seconds, he opened his eyes, a sly smile on his face, and walked into the center...

(Who will Xia Hou Zhongying choose? Take a guess, hehe.)
