Chapter 69 Reality Game

I admit that I was bewitched.

At this time, the flames have burned out, and the bright stars are reflected in those eyes like eternal glaciers, hanging and looking up.

But this promise was no small matter. I subconsciously looked away. But all I could see was empty darkness, and my eyes wandered awkwardly. Arnold stretched and turned his head back naturally. He didn't put any pressure on me.

, even swept out a piece of sand by himself, lay down and watched the stars leisurely. I wanted to pat his shoulder and let these true feelings go alone, but I didn’t want to treat this sincerity lightly.

At the end of the last century, Ivan, a scientist from the former Soviet Union, discovered elements that should not exist on the earth. This can not only solve the energy problem, but can even shake the existing understanding of the lifespan of the earth. Arnold came for that unfinished persistence.

Come. He just asked me why I came here. Is it because of 279, Li Yuan or the archaeological team? What if there were no them? I asked myself, without them, I still want to know what those ores were and whether prehistoric civilization existed.

Existence. Since my friends and my team hid it from me, why not go with an honest person to find the answer?

I was about to speak when I heard someone coming over. It was Rhea, and she was talking to someone on the phone.

I was just occupied by Arno's story, and I didn't notice it until Rhea came closer. Since she happened to be in the shadow of the tent and the campfire, Rhea naturally didn't see us.

I felt a little guilty for no reason, and with this hesitation I missed the opportunity to remind her of our existence.

"You have to take good care of my company. Okay, you can go tomorrow. I don't have time to teach you anymore. If you can't solve this problem by yourself, don't show up in front of me again." Rhea raised her eyebrows.

Said angrily.

Of course she is not a simple young lady. She is also a businessman, an adventurer, and a financial sponsor. But no matter what her status is, she never needs to compromise.

No offense. Arno and I looked at each other, thinking about making some noise to let Rhea know that there was someone here. But who would have thought that the conversation would develop too fast, and it would be purely embarrassing to say anything at this time. So I

The two can only pretend that they don't exist.

"Eric, I've had enough of helping Uncle Herman take care of the kids."

"What do you mean?" I didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone. When Rhea spoke again, her voice was much colder. She replied to the little golden retriever stiffly in German. I only understood the last bit of the content. "

Yes, of course I like him. I love him."

After hanging up the phone, Rhea stood there silently for a long time, then murmured in Chinese: He is my sister's child. Then she took a deep breath, and turned around and left proudly like a victorious general.

.

Arno and I were as silent as quails the whole time.

I don’t know how much Arno understood, but it was obvious that he at least realized that he had strayed into a private conversation. To be honest, if I had known that things would develop like this, I would not have remained silent. Rhea must not have wanted to let others

Hear this.

After waiting for a while, Arnuo straightened up and confirmed that Rhea was gone. We both understood each other tacitly, got up and ran away. He didn't bother to ask for my answer, and I didn't bother to ask him about Feixue.

whereabouts.

But after taking two steps quietly, he saw Li Yuan standing behind the bonfire with tempura in his arms.

It's all because the firewood rack was too high. Rhea didn't see us, and we didn't see Li Yuan either.

Arno and I froze on the spot.

Li Yuan's slender fingers slowly combed Tempura's fur, with no trace of confusion in his eyes. The fat cat's orange paws hugged his forearm, and the hair all over his body was about to explode.

We couldn't stay in the 279 camp anymore. We walked into the noise next door in silence.

Everyone sat around the blazing fire, changing glasses of wine, and did not react to our arrival. This saved them some embarrassment.

Li Yuan handed the tempura to Kawaii San, who was looking for his beloved cat, and joined the party without stopping, as if he was not affected by Rhea's words just now.

The fat cat simply nestled into its owner's arms and stopped moving. Kawaii San dragged his cat with difficulty and whispered comforting words.

Alex handed Li Yuanyi a bottle of beer, and James raised his glass to welcome him. I sat next to He Rongchuan, and Arnold finally had the foresight to stop pestering me.

"Tempura was frightened." He Rongchuan whispered to me. "Mr. Kawai can't understand why."

The cat was not quiet because it liked Li Yuan, but was frightened.

Everyone drank lively for a while, chatting and bragging. Li Yuan drank a lot of strong wine in silence.

"It's best that they don't go hunting for treasure all night long." Karl took a sip of wine from the bottom of his hand, "Are they trying to monopolize the ancient Egyptian treasure behind our backs?"

Many voices echoed, they were quite dissatisfied with the private actions of Buswell and others.

279 didn't say anything here, but looking at the way Jiang Can and Ding Ze drank as much as they could regardless of their own business, maybe they didn't really care.

We are all excluded from the main plot.

"Who cares about them, since they are all gathered here, it is fate." James announced. "Let's play a game!"

Most of the people present responded positively, so a game called "I Never" started.

The rules of the game are very simple. Players participating in the game tell each other something that they have "never done" or "have done before". If other people happen to have done it or not done it, then they can continue. If someone is doing it,

Instead, put down a finger.

There were more than ten people including me, Li Yuan, Yano, Alex, He Rongchuan, Jason, Carl, and Jacqueline. Egyptians do not drink alcohol for religious reasons, so Hassan and others did not join in from the beginning.

Kawaii San declined the invitation to play the game out of fear, saying that he had to go to work. He didn’t know what kind of work there was in the desert.

Tempura recovered from Li Yuan's oppression, abandoned her master, and jumped into Han Jiangxue's arms. The fat cat that looked quite small on Li Yuan's arm was like a small mountain on her body.

.

James burped and said enthusiastically, "I've never been drunk!"

Jiang Can clinked glasses with him.

This question is for nothing. Li Yuan is not drunk, and most of the others have a very good drinking capacity. Although I am not a big drinker, I am not bad, and the best thing is that I never drink too much.

Jacqueline took a sip of wine and put down one finger happily. Carl and Arno followed suit and put down one. Jason, who was under drinking age, looked around and put down one too. Alex showed disapproval.

.

Jiang Can showed a smile that was determined to win. "I once beat a wolf."

Originally, he should have killed one of his fingers in this situation. But Dingze often hunted wolves when he was herding cattle. James and Carl also hunted wolves. Even Alex once hunted coyotes.

He Rongchuan is relatively friendly. "I have survived to the extreme in the wild."

Now a few more people lost a finger. But it didn't affect us.

When it was my turn, I had to think of something that someone had done and someone hadn't done.

So I said, "I've never had another name."

Yet at least half of the people put their fingers down.

"I'm married." Jacqueline shook the ring on her ring finger at me. "Your question is not very good."

It's me who is stupid.

After surviving two more rounds, it's Stephanie's turn.

Her two thin lips touched up and down: "I once slept with a man."

Many people laughed and cursed and put down their fingers, but Arno didn't. I raised my eyebrows.

Arnold said proudly: "Hey, I'm a European." Then he stared at my broken finger in a fuss: "Yu!"

I glanced at him contemptuously: "I'm happy. (I'm gay)"

In order to save his last two fingers, the red-haired Charles asked: "Does a threesome count?" He survived.

Karl moved his fingers proudly.

Someone cursed: "Fat."

Carl's expression changed. As a result, Alex educated that person first.

Charles said: "I've killed people."

Karl chuckled, and Stephanie raised her eyebrows provocatively.

Jiang Can and the others had killed people, which didn't surprise me at all. I glanced at Arno. He still looked content and content, admiring his three fingers.

Next up is Bruce. He stood up with all five fingers and said without any pressure: "I've kissed women."

No one was harmed except Han Jiangxue, Alex and me.

"What are you doing? I'm European too." Jacqueline said, raising her glass of wine towards Arno.

The two Europeans clinked their glasses proudly in the air, their fingers raised proudly, and Arnold even winked at me deliberately.

Now I only had one finger left standing up, so I shook the longest finger at him.

Alex held up two fingers speechlessly. Americans are still not as good at playing as their European ancestors.

The bearded man sitting next to Charles said: "I haven't done drugs."

This time, only Alex and I and a few other people were spared. Seeing that Jason didn't take back a finger like Li Yuan and Arnold, he cursed "liar". Stephanie also said pointedly: "

Some are smuggled into the United States along with heroin."

Then it was Alex's turn. She said, "I've never been an asshole."

Jason looked at Alex and said, "I've never taken drugs." When he looked at people, he would completely lock his gaze into the other person's eyes, and he was overly serious. Just like a wild animal, such as a wolf.

Alex was stared at intently by Jason and nodded calmly. "I believe you."

Someone was drunk and was cursing.

Arno put down a finger. "You are not a good person, and you have done a lot of bad things. With so many lives on your hands, don't blame others for looking down on you." These people are indeed as terrible as he said.

, but he seemed not to care at all.

The man said to Arnold: "What about you? Didn't you kill anyone in Afghanistan?"

[Eternal Eye] will be stained with blood. This is heart-breaking.

Arno shrugged. "I didn't say I wasn't a bastard."

Jason said: "I lost my father once."

Surprisingly, many people didn't lower their fingers, not even Li Yuan or Yano.

Alex comforted him: "I'm sorry."

She hesitated for a moment, not intending to put down her finger.

Jason said: "I have heard about you. My biological father was killed by a drug dealer in front of me. You may not have lost him."

Although this Jason's words were not nice, he did comfort Alex. She put down her finger. Before she found the end point, she didn't want to believe that her parents were dead.

As I put my finger down, I stared at Jason's remaining index finger. Has he never killed anyone or slept with a man?

It was Jason who broke the silence again: "Is there any punishment for the loser?"

Only when I came back to my senses did I realize that someone had already lost, and I was one of them. The ones accompanying me were Alex, Jacqueline, Carl and Dingze.

The game ended before everyone had their turn. Everyone felt that there was no need to continue, but they were also happy to see the loser punished.

James and Stephanie announced the punishment: the loser would have to do push-ups while carrying or supporting someone of the opposite sex.

Alex and Jacqueline frowned for different reasons.

Arno said tactfully: "You have to give people a choice." So at his suggestion, he added a cheek-to-cheek drink.

Both options are awesome.

Jacqueline breathed a sigh of relief. She chose Bruce, and their blond hair was tangled together, and they started drinking with their faces close to each other. Everyone started to make noises. After Jacqueline finished drinking, she even kissed Bruce loudly on the cheek.

.

Since the condition was the opposite sex, Ding Ze had no choice but to ask Han Jiangxue if she would accompany him to accept the punishment.

Han Jiangxue was thin-skinned, so naturally he would not choose to drink. When he started doing push-ups with Han Jiangxue on his back, Jiang Can also started to wow.

Karl extended an invitation to Stephanie, who readily agreed. He took off his coat and spread it on the floor, and Stephanie lay on it comfortably. While Karl was doing push-ups, she put her arms around his neck and pulled him close to her.

.

Alex turned her head in disgust. She didn't like being stared at by everyone, but she also didn't want to admit defeat. If she had to drink with a person of the opposite sex, Alex glanced at Li Yuan.

In fact, I also think it is easier to find an acquaintance to avoid embarrassment, but Lou Shiqi, whom I know best, was caught digging out murals. Just when I was struggling, Arno came to the door with a smile on his face. He wiped off the perfume specially, but rely on

When I came here I could still smell the faint smell of boiling snow.

I wasn't the one who couldn't afford to lose. So I positioned myself, let Arnold wrap his arms around my neck, took a deep breath, and started doing push-ups amidst the cheers of everyone.

Ya Nuo was so into the show that he lay on my back and kept cheering me up. I wanted to lift him off right away. Damn, this little guy looked thin, but he was actually very fleshy. He gritted his teeth and persisted in doing four push-ups, and then I became stiff.

Halfway through.

Fortunately, Arno had some conscience and rolled down when I was about to lie down, and even gave me his hand to pull me up. The most annoying thing was that I was as tired as a dead dog.

Take a bow.

There were more whistles and applause. Jiang Can and He Rongchuan couldn't help laughing when they looked at me. The grandson who came up with the idea said, "You are very capable."

I couldn't breathe evenly, so I could only bite my back teeth and smile and nod.

Alex was not paired with Li Yuan over there. Jason handed her a glass of wine, and his wolf-like green eyes met another pair of emerald green eyes.
