It was Lin Yi's turn to spin, but the wheel still stopped on the 'next person' space.
Lin Yi happily clapped his hands, "Great… didn't get it twice in a row!"
Qingdao Quandai looked unhappy, having to suppress the prepared question again.
The four actors took another turn, and it was Qingdao Quandai's turn again. She drew 'truth' again.
"Ah… why am I so unlucky?"
Qingdao Quandai couldn't help but complain, "Three times in a row~~~"
Regarding Qingdao Quandai's complaint, Lin Yi couldn't help but think to himself: Rigged, how could you not get caught?
"It's my turn!"
This time a girl asked, "If the person you like also likes other girls, but he's still willing to spend ten million a month to keep you, would you choose to accept or reject?"
"Hmm…"
Faced with this question, Qingdao Quandai thought about it carefully. She really wanted to give a definite answer, but she felt that saying so might leave a bad impression on Lin Yi.
So, she directly passed the question to her sister: "Mina, if it were you, what would you decide?"
According to the rules, this wasn't allowed.
However, all the rules that are specified are for the benefit of the rule-makers.
Lin Yi wanted to know what the sisters really thought, so naturally, he wouldn't be foolish enough to say they were breaking the rules.
Qingdao Mina said, "If it were me… I'd probably agree? Because I don't really like going to work."
"And it's being kept by someone I like… and they give me ten million every month. Then I can do what I want with my sister every day… life would suddenly become meaningful!"
"That's what you guys think too, right?"
Qingdao Mina also turned to ask the other four actors.
This rhetorical question wasn't in the script.
Therefore, the four actors' answers were inconsistent. Some agreed, and some disagreed.
Interestingly, those who agreed were female actors, and those who disagreed were male actors.
As mentioned before, Japan's sex industry has been legalized, and the market is mature.
In their minds, being kept isn't something too embarrassing. Some people even actively seek to be kept.
After all, whether or not you are being kept is your own private matter.
Given the Japanese "non-interference, non-disturbance" personality, they simply wouldn't care.
It was Lin Yi's turn, and this time Lin Yi didn't rig it, drawing a 'truth'.
Before Qingdao Quandai could react, the girl next to her interjected, "Lin-kun, what kind of girls do you like? Do you have any requirements for appearance?"
"Well… I don't have any requirements for appearance."
Lin Yi said very honestly. After all, among his girlfriends and lovers, there are a lot of beautiful ones. After looking at beautiful things for a long time, one will naturally develop aesthetic fatigue.
"But I prefer independent girls… who won't give up their personal time just because they're in a relationship."
Lin Yi slowly expressed his thoughts.
The game entered the next round.
However, when it was the turn of the four actors to spin the wheel.
Lin Yi inadvertently caught sight of a back view that he found hard to forget.
The other person was sitting at the bar, with their back facing him.
The slender figure and light blue professional attire weren't the main reasons that attracted Lin Yi's attention.
Rather, it was the way she had gathered her hair high on the back of her head, coiling it into a bun… that made Lin Yi very concerned.
In Detective Conan, there are only a handful of women who put their hair up!
Lin Yi picked up his cocktail and drank it all in one gulp, then said to the others, "I'm going to see what special cocktails they have here… you guys continue playing."
He took the empty glass, left the booth, and walked towards the woman in professional attire at the bar.
Lin Yi's sudden departure caught Qingdao Quandai's attention. She watched him walk towards the woman in professional attire at the bar and already knew what he was going to do.
"Miss Aoto, it's your turn."
A man reminded her.
"Hai, hai." Aoto Zendai retracted her gaze and started spinning the wheel, but she couldn't help but glance towards the bar.
Placing the glass on the counter and slowly pushing it forward, Lin Yi said, "I'll have a Tequila Sunrise, please."
Lin Yi took the opportunity to glance at the woman with her hair up, and that one look made Lin Yi's heart tremble.
The beautiful woman with her hair in a bun and wearing a professional suit was indeed Eri Kisaki!
Eri Kisaki had her hair styled into a bun with a hairpin, and she casually pulled out a few strands of hair, making her appear not only elegant but also adding a touch of liveliness, which perfectly suited her image as a strong woman.
After confirming it was Eri Kisaki, Lin Yi immediately felt guilty.
There was no way around it; being caught by his girlfriend's mother while indulging in drinks at a bar was unsettling.
It was like being caught slacking off at work by the boss, with no way to explain himself.
Lin Yi sized up Eri Kisaki, and Eri Kisaki also turned her head to size up Lin Yi. Their eyes met briefly, which made Lin Yi's heart beat even faster, and he couldn't help but overthink: Could she have recognized me?
"You… haven't I seen you somewhere before?"
Eri Kisaki asked curiously. She felt like she had seen the handsome man before, but she couldn't remember where. She just had a sense of familiarity.
Seeing that Eri Kisaki didn't recognize him immediately, Lin Yi breathed a long sigh of relief internally.
It was a good thing she didn't recognize him, which meant she didn't have a deep impression of him.
Ran must not have mentioned him to her or shown Eri Kisaki any photos; otherwise, it wouldn't be 'have I seen you somewhere before?' but directly calling his name.
"Is this how girls these days pick up guys with such an old-fashioned line?" Lin Yi replied with a smile, "At least you should do it like me… complimenting your elegance."
Had she been mistaken for someone trying to pick her up?
Well, in a place like this, it was indeed easy to cause such a misunderstanding.
Eri Kisaki couldn't help but smile. "You can tell I'm elegant after just meeting me for the first time? Don't you think you're making that judgment too quickly?"
"No, I'm always confident in my judgment."
Lin Yi naturally sat down in the chair, but he didn't choose the seat next to Eri Kisaki, but rather one seat over.
"Elegant temperament, refined conversation, healthy physique, and a communicative personality… if a beautiful woman like you can't be described as elegant, then no one in the world deserves the word."
"You're quite the smooth talker."
Eri Kisaki rested her chin on her hand, stirring her straw. "How many girls have you fooled with these words?"
"None," Lin Yi replied.
"When it comes to being a person, it's best to be a little more honest."
"Really, none… they're not worth me saying these things to them."
Eri Kisaki covered her mouth and chuckled, looking at Lin Yi with great interest, carefully scrutinizing him. She couldn't help but nod and say, "Indeed, a handsome guy like you doesn't need to put in much effort to attract girls."
