Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Fur to fur, flesh to flesh, feeling uneasy without cuddling for one night
"What do you think?"
Ye Youlong looked at Xiao Zhan, feeling that this couldn’t count as a riddle, but more like a question.
"Other than looking with my eyes, I suppose there’s no other way to look, right?"
"...I’m asking what you think of this question." Why does Ye Youlong feel like Xiao Zhan’s thoughts are so erratic?
"Still can only use my eyes to look."
"Do you just have to be cheeky?"
Ye Youlong used the Cloud Flower Seeking Hand.
"Hehe, just kidding." Xiao Zhan dodged and then seriously said, "This doesn’t look like a riddle, but in fact, it should be one."
"This place is a game for fun after all, they wouldn’t ask such direct questions, and they gave information introduction too. So, I think the answer to this riddle must be unexpected."
Ye Youlong agreed with his analysis, "Well said, but don’t say it again next time."
"Then you try?"
Ye Youlong it is then.
"The core reason for the boyfriend’s inferiority complex is that he thinks Lucian’s range isn’t long enough, so I think it might be improved with some external equipment, like getting a cannon."
"Such a straightforward answer, how could it possibly be correct?" Xiao Zhan spread his hands.
"Answer correct."
The voice of artificial intelligence chimed in.
Xiao Zhan: "..."
"Isn’t your answer really bizarre? How did you get it right? Then what’s the point of this riddle, might as well ask me what’s one plus one." Xiao Zhan complained to the artificial intelligence.
"Ponder it, please do ponder it."
"Ponder my ass, can pondering bloom flowers?"
Xiao Zhan looked bored, what’s there to ponder about a broken riddle’s answer?
But right after he finished speaking, a flash of insight struck his mind.
Ponder...
Range?
Cannon?
Inferiority complex?
Wait a second...
"Damn! This is not a riddle bus heading to kindergarten!"
Xiao Zhan exclaimed in surprise, suddenly realizing!
Indeed, this riddle is not a proper one!
This is the essence of the riddle, he should have thought of it earlier.
The artificial intelligence remained silent, only the screen flickered, but Xiao Zhan seemed to see it smile with a fifteen-degree upward curve at the corner of its mouth.
Cockeyed fool!
"Failed to guess the riddle, please accept punishment," the artificial intelligence suddenly spoke.
There’s punishment for losing?
Xiao Zhan looked at the game rules, those who lose should receive a minor punishment from the winner.
He couldn’t help but look at Ye Youlong, noticing a rare and expectant smile on her face; she seemed to enjoy seeing Xiao Zhan making a fool of himself.
Especially if it’s in her own hands.
"Punishment carousel, beginning to draw punishment items..."
"Hold on, I have an answer too!" Seeing the densely packed punishments on the carousel, Xiao Zhan felt a bit flustered inside.
He wasn’t afraid of punishment, but he couldn’t be punished by his own wife.
If there was to be punishment, it had to be him punishing her.
"Another answer?"
Ye Youlong was already surprised by Xiao Zhan’s sudden change in behavior, and now he claimed to know the answer, can a riddle have two answers?
Well, it seems possible.
Then she really wanted to see what answer Xiao Zhan could come up with.
Although she thought this riddle guessing was quite boring.
The artificial intelligence also waited for Xiao Zhan’s reply.
Xiao Zhan then said, "You could send Lucian to top lane, after all, even if its short, in kindergarten, he’s still the king."
"Answer correct."
The verdict of artificial intelligence.
Ye Youlong heard the answer, pondered for a moment, and then showed approval, "Indeed, short range, but in the short lane of top, that weakness turns into an advantage, this is indeed another answer."
Watching her analyze seriously, Xiao Zhan couldn’t help but smirk wickedly, "Yours was a fluke, I’m a master driver."
"What does that mean?" Ye Youlong didn’t understand.
"Taste it, taste it carefully."
Such words are not easily said outright; they are interesting only when savored personally.
"Next riddle, which animal is the quietest when it’s angry?"
"Gorilla."
Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong answered at the same time.
The two glanced at each other, both bearing a slightly competitive look.
"Correct answer."
Having heard the verdict, Xiao Zhan looked unconvinced at Ye Youlong. "Do you know why gorillas are the quietest when they’re angry?"
"When gorillas are angry or threatened, they might choose to express their dissatisfaction silently, including standing, staring angrily, thumping their chests and so on. This behavior may be to prevent unnecessary escalation of conflict and to remind other animals of their substantial strength; therefore, gorillas are one of the quietest animals when they are angry."
Ye Youlong provided her analysis.
"Wrong!"
Xiao Zhan rejected it flatly!
"Why?"
"Because when gorillas are angry, they knock their chests!"
Knock their chests?
Ye Youlong didn’t understand what that meant.
Xiao Zhan immediately stood up to demonstrate, his small fists hammering his pectorals.
"Knock~ Mi~ Mi~"
"Get it?"
"I don’t." Ye Youlong shook her head.
"Referee, this is unfair! I request that the next question not be so scientific!"
Xiao Zhan voiced his protest directly at the artificial intelligence.
Ye Youlong was serious. If one could guess the riddle correctly purely based on scientific theory, then what’s the fun in playing?
He must lead Ye Youlong to also comprehend the essence of this riddle, only then will the game be enjoyable for both of them.
Otherwise, it’s pointless for him alone to be enthusiastic.
"Do you wish to change the question set?" The artificial intelligence asked for Ye Youlong’s opinion.
"Change it."
Ye Youlong didn’t hesitate for a moment. She knew Xiao Zhan must have noticed something and was also curious about what the next question set would be like.
"Listen to the question, fur to fur, flesh to flesh, uncomfortable if not touched for a night, what is it?"
Upon hearing this question, Ye Youlong’s brows immediately furrowed.
Fur and flesh mean something alive.
Uncomfortable if not touched for a night must relate to sleep.
And it has to be touched every night, what could it be?
The question had her stumped.
She glanced unconsciously at Xiao Zhan and discovered that he was looking at her with a sly and smug smile.
She couldn’t help but feel a chill, for she was all too familiar with that smile from Xiao Zhan.
Every time Xiao Zhan wanted to take advantage of her, he would have that expression. Could it be that he wants to take advantage of her again?
No, that’s not right.
In this situation, he wouldn’t suddenly have the idea of taking advantage—there must be another reason.
Putting together all the bits and pieces, Ye Youlong immediately understood.
It’s definitely that the answer to this riddle is related to that sort of thing.
"Have you thought of the answer?" Ye Youlong decided to test Xiao Zhan.
"I don’t know."
Xiao Zhan immediately shook his head like a rattle drum.
However, the laughter spilling from the corners of his eyes betrayed him.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as I don’t admit it, that’s fine.
He watched Ye Youlong frown slightly, her eyes flickering. He knew Ye Youlong must have realized the key point.
Hehe, things are getting interesting.
"Did you think of the answer?"
Xiao Zhan was no longer interested in figuring out the riddle; flirting with his own wife was far more interesting.
"I..."
Ye Youlong had already thought of the answer, but she didn’t know how to say it. It was too embarrassing...
