The End of the World: Chaos

"You two, this really opened my eyes!" Yang Yi smiled, tapping the mattress with his fingers, his eyes wandering between the two of them, "You are laughing and talking so happily, are you celebrating some grand event?"

Ruth smiled slightly, as if she had no intention of responding, and just casually fiddled with the pillow beside her, revealing a nonchalant attitude. Xika couldn't help laughing again, and quickly covered her mouth to prevent Ruth's "firepower" from coming again.

"What are you laughing at?" Yang Yi asked jokingly, "Did I say something funny?"

"This..." Xica pointed at Ruth with an embarrassed look on her face and said, "Actually, it's because Ruth is so cute!"

"Cute?" Yang Yi raised his eyebrows, turned to Ruth, and asked jokingly, "Ruth, do you think you are cute?"

Ruth frowned slightly, maintaining an elegant smile, "I think I prefer the mature approach."

"Mature?" Yang Yi couldn't help laughing and teased, "Then I propose a challenge to see how you can prove your maturity!"

"Challenge?" Xika's eyes sparkled with anticipation, and he nodded excitedly, "I like this idea! Come on, let's get started!"

Yang Yi was secretly happy, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Well, how about having a game of 'Truth or Dare' to see who can reveal the truest self in the process?"

Ruth and Xika were stunned for a moment, with surprise flashing in their eyes. Xika then clapped his hands and said impatiently: "Okay, I'll go first!"

"So, what is your choice - truth or dare?" Yang Yi asked with a smile.

"The truth!" Xika answered without hesitation.

"Okay, to be honest..." Yang Yi glanced at her with a cunning look in his eyes, "Have you ever liked me?"

Xika was stunned by this question, his face instantly flushed, and he stammered for a long time before forcing out a reply: "This... I... I don't have it!"

"Oh? No?" Yang Yi showed a doubtful look, and said playfully: "I remember you once said that the person you admire most is me!"

"That's because you're talented!" Xika spoke faster, with a hint of urgency in his voice, "But I'm not that kind of person!"

Ruth beside her couldn't help laughing and pointed at Xika, "You are completely shirking responsibility, right? People have already asked you, do you still dare to defend yourself?"

“You two are really…” Sica was almost broken by the relentless questioning of the two and said awkwardly, “I don’t care what you think!”

Seeing this, Yang Yi was secretly pleased with himself. This game really brought a lot of fun. He then turned to Ruth and asked, "Ruth, what do you choose next?"

Ruth thought for a moment and answered decisively: "I also choose the truth."

"Well, my question is...what do you think are your strengths?" A hint of seriousness flashed in Yang Yi's eyes.

Ruth hesitated for a moment and slowly replied, "I think I am relatively independent and can handle my own affairs properly."

"Independent? Of course, you have many other advantages, such as being considerate." Yang Yi said with a smile, "This allows you to always play an important role in the team."

Ruth was slightly stunned, as if she had not expected Yang Yi's praise, and then she responded with a faint smile: "Thank you, Yang Yi, this reminds me of many people around me."

At this time, Xika, unwilling to be left behind, interrupted and said, "Then, Yang Yi, it's time for you to make your choice!"

"Then I'll ask you a question." Yang Yi thought for a moment and finally said, "Sika, what do you think is the most admirable thing about Ruth?"

Xika thought for a moment, smiled brightly, and responded: "What I admire most is her courage. Whenever she encounters difficulties, Ruth always faces them bravely instead of avoiding them."

Ruth was slightly stunned. She had never thought that she had such a position in Xika's heart. She couldn't hide her smile, and a trace of warmth appeared in her heart: "Thank you, Xika. I admire you very much. Although you look timid, you have great strength in your heart."

"Hey, aren't we having fun in the game?" Xika suddenly pushed Ruth gently, approached Yang Yi with a smile, and said cunningly, "Yang Yi, tell me, whose advantages attract you more?"

This sentence instantly broke the original warm atmosphere. Yang Yi was shocked and immediately felt embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, he forced a smile: "You two are my closest friends, each with your own advantages and charm!"

Ruth and Sika laughed in unison, seeming very satisfied with Yang Yi's answer.

"Then it's my turn next." Yang Yi finally took a deep breath and prepared to ask them a more challenging question, "Who do you think is more attractive between me and you two?"

"This..." Sika and Ruth looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

Yang Yi's heartbeat quickened slightly, knowing that this was a good time to test his interpersonal relationships. Finally, Ruth broke the silence and said firmly: "I think that true love is not determined by games, but is actually a communication between hearts."

Yang Yi's heart was moved, and he felt that what she said was profound. Xika nodded and agreed: "For us, what is important is not the superficial performance, but the understanding and resonance of each other."

"I understand now." Yang Yi said with emotion, "It seems that sincerity and trust are the most fundamental. Whether it is games or life, it is all about mutual giving, not one-sided pursuit."

The atmosphere returned to warmth and intimacy. Yang Yi looked at the two friends beside him, and a warm current surged in his heart, as if the relationship between the three was no longer just a pure relationship, but a deep friendship and trust.

"But the game hasn't ended yet!" Yang Yi said mischievously, "It's your turn to challenge me soon!"

"Okay!" Xika nodded excitedly, with a cunning light in his eyes, "I'll give you a big adventure!"

"I'm listening." Yang Yi was obviously curious about her proposal.

"Then, you have to sing a song for us in public! When the challenge is over, I will give you a bonus of one million!" Xika raised his chin mischievously, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

Ruth couldn't help but chuckle, and said in a serious tone, "However, the prize money must be divided equally between the two of us."

Yang Yi was amused by this suggestion. He knew it was difficult but was full of expectations. He smiled and said, "Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen. I will prepare a song right now and live up to your expectations!"
