Ning Xueluo gently placed a blindfold over Wang Haoran’s eyes.

“Husband, no cheating, okay?”

“Of course not!”

Wang Haoran chuckled.

Cheating would ruin the fun of the game, so he even suppressed his senses, relying solely on his body to play.

***

The First Game: “Circle of Joy, Open the Door to Fortune”

The rules were simple, inspired by a certain TV show’s “Open the Door to Fortune.”

The player stood in front of a series of “doors,” pressing a large, white button. The door would then play a tune, and the player had to guess the song.

However, the women had modified the rules slightly.

New Rules:

1. A host was chosen by drawing lots, while the others acted as “doors.”
2. The player’s eyes were blindfolded, and the host led them to the “doors,” who obediently stood in place.
3. The “door” would sing a “song,” and the player had to guess their identity based on the “music.”
4. Guessing all correctly meant passing the game; one mistake meant failure.

With Zhao Nishang as the host, she led the blindfolded Wang Haoran to the first “door.”

Ning Xueluo, acting as a “door,” stood straight beside An Buyu. The two exchanged shy glances before looking at the other women, who were equally nervous and expectant.

“Haoran, do your best!”

Host Zhao Nishang cheerfully held Wang Haoran’s hand—

As the host, she didn’t participate, but she made sure to let Wang Haoran “feel her warmth” for now.

—

“Game start!”

Zhao Nishang guided Wang Haoran to the first “door.”

Pressing the button.

“……”

Hey, hey, this “door” is breaking the rules! Not singing at all!

Zhao Nishang shot a warning glance at the blushing, lip-biting woman, urging her to follow the rules.

But the next second, Wang Haoran, experienced as he was, guessed without needing to hear the song—

“Qingzhi!”

Wang Haoran instantly recognized the texture of his bath towel!

“Uh… correct! Next!”

“This scale… must be Ling’er!”

“Shuang’er and Yao Yao!”

“Small and delicate—Xinyan!”

“This sweet voice, it’s Yan’er!”

“It’s Lan’er! Martial Aunt, you’re breaking the rules too, not singing!”

“I’ll have to give you a proper scolding later!”

—

And so, using a combination of touch and hearing, Wang Haoran identified all twenty-two “doors” within ten minutes.

Perfectly recognizing each one.

Seeing his impressive performance, the women were “unconvinced.”

Time to up the difficulty—

—

The Second Game: “Front, Back, Left, Right—Five Women in Sync!”

This game was also simple:

1. Five women formed a team in any combination.
2. Blindfolded Wang Haoran sat on a backless stool while the team massaged his hands, legs, and back from all sides.
3. After three minutes, the massage ended, and Wang Haoran had to guess the team’s identities.
4. Guessing all correctly meant passing the game; one mistake meant failure.

At this moment, Wang Haoran sat alone on the stool.

The women huddled nearby, whispering and forming teams.

Soon, the first team was ready to go—

Five women in sync, then.

“Three minutes are up! Haoran, make your guesses!”

Hearing Yun Ling’er’s voice, Wang Haoran confidently spoke:

“To my left is Ling’er, and to my right is Xiaoxiao!”

“Behind me, that touch can only be Yao Yao!”

“In front of me… it’s ↑Yingying and ↓Xueluo!”

The playful Yingying and Xueluo’s warm yet slightly cool touch was unmistakable to Wang Haoran!

“All correct… but maybe you just got lucky! Second team, step up!”

However, even with the second team, Wang Haoran guessed everyone correctly without cheating—

“In front of me is ↑Master and ↓Little Senior Sister!”

“To my left is Zhuque, and to my right is Xiaowei.”

“As for behind me… it’s Ling’er again!”

—

“I told you, don’t underestimate me!”

The women rotated through various combinations and positions, playing over ten rounds, yet none could stump Wang Haoran.

He didn’t even hesitate.

“You… you actually know us so well! Unbelievable!”

Finally, an “exasperated” Yun Ling’er decided to pull out the big guns—

—

The Third Game: “One After Another—Blind Guessing!”

Originally, the rules were as follows:

1. Five women formed a team in any combination.
2. Blindfolded Wang Haoran lay on a bed while the team stepped on his body with their feet.
3. Each person stepped for thirty seconds. After everyone finished, Wang Haoran had to guess the team’s identities.
4. Guessing all correctly meant passing the game; one mistake meant failure.

However, seeing how skilled Wang Haoran was, the women unanimously decided to tweak the rules.

No more teams—everyone would take turns in order!

“Hmph, let’s see if you can get it all right this time!”

Soon, as Wang Haoran lay quietly on the bed, he began feeling wave after wave of gentle touches.

“……”

Finally, after everyone had taken their turn.

Su Yan kindly removed Wang Haoran’s blindfold.

Then, snuggling beside him, she smiled: “Darling, do your best!”

There used to be only seven participants, but now there were twenty-three, making the difficulty several times higher!

But for Wang Haoran, this was no challenge.

“Yan’er, you’re so naughty!”

“You went first but pretended to be last!”

Looking at the women surrounding him, their faces flushed from the “joyful” atmosphere of the previous games.

Wang Haoran sat up and began identifying them one by one:

“After Yan’er was Xiao Jun, then Xier, Xiwang, Ranni, Xinyan…”

“When it was Buyu’s turn, she even paused for a moment!”

“Then came Ning’er, Xiaoyu…”

“…And finally, it was Xiaoxiao!”

With that, Wang Haoran pulled Wang Yuxiao into his arms. “Am I right?”

“Mm-hmm!”

Wang Yuxiao and the other women all nodded.

Yun Ling’er pouted, “Ugh, not even this could stump you!”

“I was hoping you’d get one wrong so we could punish you!”

The “punishment games” failed, leaving Yun Ling’er no chance to penalize Wang Haoran with “golden” stakes!

Seeing Yun Ling’er’s big, sparkling eyes, still unwilling to give up.

Wang Haoran pulled her onto his lap, seating her sideways.

“The punishment games are over. Now it’s my turn to host!”

“We… are going to set off fireworks!”

With that, Wang Haoran made a slight movement, causing Yun Ling’er to yelp—

“Ling’er, you little troublemaker, you’re up first!”
