Chapter 332: Werewolf Game, Round 2

In the first round of the game, Fang Zhou was booted out after his failed attempt to impersonate the Seer. As the group reviewed the round, they were stunned to discover he had played the werewolf card and had actually tricked the healer into using the antidote on him.

Everyone gasped in realization. “Wow, you had us all fooled! You really went deep with that strategy, didn’t you? Making the healer waste the antidote—that’s cold!”

Fang Zhou laughed heartily, waving off their comments, “All’s fair in love and war, right?” But inside, he reminisced about the time Zhang Zhiyin had pulled the same trick.

Back then, everyone was still pretty naive and inexperienced in Werewolf. Zhang Zhiyin had taken them all by surprise with her cunning strategy, manipulating everyone effortlessly.

When she had used the self-inflicted wound trick, everyone had been shocked. “Wow, Zhang Zhiyin is really something else!”

“Can’t believe she did the big bad wolf act with such an innocent face. I’m never trusting a pretty face again!”

“Zhang Wuji’s mom was right—the prettier the girl, the better the liar!” (tln : i will explain on the footer)

“Teach me, master! You’ve got to show me your ways, Zhang Zhiyin!”

Her classmates had crowded around her, begging for tips. Zhang Zhiyin’s tactics were sharp and varied, and the way she could lie without batting an eyelash was what truly impressed everyone.

While most people would show some nervous ticks when lying, a quick blink or a fidget, Zhang Zhiyin had none. She could hold a werewolf card and still claim to be a seer with absolute conviction.

Back then, Zhang Zhiyin had smiled softly and said, “There’s no real trick. Just read more, watch the news, eat less junk food, and get plenty of sleep.”

Everyone had laughed, joking that even Zhang Zhiyin’s game advice sounded like a scholar’s. Fang Zhou, who had been fooled countless times, remembered those sessions vividly, thinking back on them every time he played.

Now, years later, Fang Zhou had used Zhang Zhiyin’s old trick, bringing a nostalgic smile to his face.

Zhang Zhiyin also smiled, thinking back to those days. Despite the years and distance, some memories remained unmistakably clear.

“You always say I’m your unforgettable memory of youth, but memories go both ways. You were a significant part of my youth too,” she thought. The old classmates’ records, courageously requested photos, and treasured exam tickets and papers were all parts of their shared past.

You never know how old events will shape your future self. Zhang Zhiyin hadn’t imagined she’d end up being Fang Zhou’s Werewolf mentor. Maybe, just maybe, fate had a funny way of bringing them back together.

“Alright, let’s toast to Wenjing finishing her exams!” someone called out.

The dining room was filled with a sumptuous spread, perfect for the hungry group, who gathered around the table, grateful for the break.

“Cheers!” The sound of clinking glasses filled the hall. Everyone downed their drinks, except for Wenjing, who had juice.

They were out for fun today, celebrating and gearing up for the national competition. If they did well, Fang Zhou’s studio would get more funding, potentially becoming a full-fledged streaming company.

“Here’s to our national competition! Let’s drink to that! Hey, why didn’t we invite the boss today? That’s not very nice of us,” someone asked, glancing at Fang Zhou.

Su Yang caught Fang Zhou’s eye, leaving the explanation to him. Today’s event was mostly for Wenjing, making it Fang Zhou’s call.

“The boss is busy. We’ll see him if we win the competition, don’t worry!” Li Siming stepped in, knowing Fang Zhou’s complicated history with Han Xi.

Fang Zhou had been forced to stay at the Han family residence for a few days, and he was still a bit upset about it. There was no way he’d invite Han Xi to a day meant for his sister’s happiness.

Everyone liked to say Fang Zhou was like a soft, pliable rubber band—easygoing and good-natured. But even he had limits.

“Alright then, we’ll win the championship and make the boss proud!” someone cheered, raising another toast.

After another round, they finally settled down to eat. Fang Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. “These kids, always eager to meet the big boss,” he thought.

But with Han Xi’s resources, who wouldn’t be enticed? Fang Zhou hoped their team would break through and achieve top rankings, ensuring everyone’s hard work paid off.

Zhang Zhiyin tapped her glass thoughtfully, curious about who this boss really was. She hoped to meet him during the finals.
