"So, what punishment will Director Tianming choose next?"
Chen Tianming's smile froze on his face. That light tone somehow sent a shiver down his spine.
"Cough, cough." Chen Tianming cleared his throat, took a deep breath, and said with a smile, "Of course, it's truth."
"Ah."
Hearing this, the children's faces were filled with disappointment.
Chen Tianming awkwardly rubbed the back of his head, "What's wrong with truth? Isn't truth good?"
Wen Yan'an shook his head and said, "Truth is good, we just wanted to see what dares were like."
"Then why didn't you choose dares when you lost earlier?" Chen Tianming was bewildered, "Isn't it more fun to experience this game yourself?"
"Because we are children," Wu Yueyuan's mind raced, and she said righteously, "How can children play something as dangerous as dares? Little children shouldn't play dares."
Chen Tianming squatted down and looked at Wu Yueyuan, torn between laughter and tears, "Little Yuan Yuan, who told you dares are dangerous?"
Wu Yueyuan put her hands on her hips and snorted a few times, "The name itself says 'dare,' so adventuring must be dangerous. We're big kids now, we're very smart."
Hearing this, Chen Tianming was amused.
The little ones immediately swarmed around, "Uncle Tianming, just let us see what dares are!"
"Yeah, Uncle Tianming is the best, Uncle Tianming is the greatest, we like Uncle Tianming the most."
"Who do you like the most?"
The children answered in unison: "Uncle Tianming."
"What about compared to Hehe's mom? Who do you like more?"
"Uncle Tianming." The children replied without hesitation, crisp and clear.
"Oh my, don't say that. It's going to make Uncle Tianming very embarrassed to be liked by so many children."
The assistant director Yang watched Chen Tianming being completely fooled by the children, yet still enjoying himself, and felt he couldn't bear to watch.
Oh dear, my director, if you get fooled any further, you won't even know who the game is for.
[Hahaha, this is hilarious, how can Chen Tianming be so funny? He's losing himself among the "Uncle Tianmings." Chen Tianming, wake up, you're being charmed by the kids.]
[Honestly, if I had such cute kids around me, calling me "Uncle Tianming" and saying they liked me, I'd be over the moon too. I think forget dares, I'd pick stars from the sky for them. Oh my goodness, they're just too cute. How can such cute children exist in the world?]
[Leave those children to me, I'm willing to play dares forever. Help, I never thought I'd see my An'an acting cute in this lifetime. Even though this cuteness is calculated, she's so adorable.]
"It's just dares," Chen Tianming said magnanimously, waving his hand, "And Uncle Tianming promises you, you kids can discuss and come up with the dare this time, and I guarantee I'll complete it perfectly."
Suddenly, he thought of something, "However, there can only be one dare, and the adults cannot offer any suggestions from the side."
Fang Miaomiao leaned against Cui Mantong, "Oh, what did the director just say? It's over, it's over, why am I suddenly a bit hard of hearing?"
"Cut it out." Chen Tianming almost rolled his eyes completely, then turned to the children with a smile and said, "Little ones, start turning your little brains to think. You only have three minutes. The referee starts the timer."
The children immediately abandoned Chen Tianming and huddled together.
"What do you think the little ones will come up with for a dare?" Zhou Jiaxin asked gently, looking at the little heads clustered together discussing.
"What's there to be afraid of," Chen Huan glanced and withdrew his gaze, "With Si Si and An An around, Director Tianming won't be able to get away with anything."
At this moment, little Ye Nan ran to Chen Tianming and tugged at his clothes.
"What is it?" Chen Tianming asked kindly.
Ye Nan pursed her lips, then whispered, "Uncle Tianming, can it be anything?"
His shy and well-behaved demeanor instantly struck Chen Tianming's heart, "Of course, whatever dares the children ask for, Uncle Tianming can complete them."
In his opinion, children's requests would always be the same few things. As long as adults weren't involved, the children wouldn't come up with complex requests.
"Thank you, Uncle Tianming."
Ye Nan thanked him obediently and ran back.
"Little ones, three minutes are up. Now, choose someone to tell us what dare you want me to do."
Chen Tianming was a bit surprised when he saw Wu Yueyuan step forward. He thought An'an or Si Si would come out.
"Little Yuan Yuan, tell me."
"Uncle Tianming," Wu Yueyuan looked at Chen Tianming with a smile, "This dare is very simple. I believe Uncle Tianming will complete this dare perfectly."
"That's right," Chen Tianming raised his head slightly, "The children have good judgment."
"Yes, yes, Uncle Tianming is the best."
"Cough, cough, humble, humble. Yuan Yuan, tell me, what dare do you want me to do?"
"It's very simple," Wu Yueyuan drew out the word, "Reduce half of our planned tourist attractions this trip."
The smile on Chen Tianming's face froze. He doubted if his ears had malfunctioned, "What did little Yuan Yuan just say?"
"Does Uncle Tianming want to go back on his word?" Wu Yueyuan put her hands behind her back and walked to Chen Tianming with a smile, "It's okay, we can say it again."
Afterward, the children all repeated what they had just said in unison.
Chen Tianming sighed heavily and looked resentfully at the children who had surrounded him again, "You guys are digging a hole for me to jump into."
"How could we? Uncle Tianming, there are so many attractions on the itinerary, we're really too tired to walk."
"You can hire a car."
"No money."
"Well, that's not within my scope of consideration."
"But Uncle Tianming lost the game just now, and this dare is Uncle Tianming's business now."
Chen Tianming pretended to threaten them, grabbing Wen Yan'an and Cui Yongsi, "Hahaha, I caught you! Tell me, was this intentional?"
"Hehe, what are you talking about, Uncle Tianming? Si Si doesn't understand."
"An'an doesn't understand either."
"You little smarty pants," Chen Tianming was amused, "Alright, then I'll cross out half of the items on the itinerary."
"Wow, Uncle Tianming, you're so cool!"
"Uncle Tianming is the coolest director in the world."
Chen Tianming was so flattered that he almost floated into the sky, and very happily crossed out half of the tourist program.
