December 31, 2018. New Year’s Eve.
Everyone gathered at Xia Liu Yi and He Chu San’s home to ring in the new year together.
“I can understand Qin Hao being here, but why is he here?” Boss Xia, no, Househusband Xia now, pointed at Xie Jia Hua.
“He’s A’Ming’s family,” He Chu San said.
“San San, I’ve missed you so much,” Lu Guang Ming said with a beaming smile.
“I’ve missed you too, Ming Ming.” The two besties kissed, hugged, and lifted each other up.
“Hey, Xie! Your wife is acting this lovey-dovey with my wife. Aren’t you going to do something about it?!” Xia Liu Yi demanded.
“I heard you’re the wife,” Xie Jia Hua replied.
“…” Say no more. Let’s go downstairs and fight.
The fifty-three-year-old househusband and the fifty-eight-year-old retired police officer fought downstairs. Several children eating lollipops gathered to watch. Their mothers covered their eyes and dragged them away. “Shameless old men!”
They fought for half an hour. One crashed into a wall and twisted his waist, while the other fell to the ground and injured his backside. Supporting each other, they returned upstairs.
“Boss, can you still handle it? You couldn’t even beat a retired old man,” Cui Dong Dong said.
“Boss, why didn’t you tell me you were fighting? I would’ve helped you beat him!” Xiao Ma stared eagerly at Old Xie, who had twisted his waist.
“Who do you want to beat?” Qin Hao stepped forward and rolled up his sleeves.
“Who do you want to beat?” Susin also stepped forward and began rolling up his sleeves. After one second, he exclaimed, “Aiya! Isn’t this Little Azure Dragon? You look even more like him now that you’re older. Hehehe. Come here and let Sister, no, let your big brother feel you!”
They all started fighting.
“Watching you men fight is even more boring than watching male dogs fight,” Xiao Luo said. “Didn’t we agree to play a game tonight? Are we playing or not?”
“Yes, yes, yes! I want to be on the same team as my baby San San,” Lu Guang Ming said.
“You don’t get to decide. We’re drawing cards. Hurry up and sit down.”
The ten of them sat in a circle to play Werewolf.
A simple explanation of the game: the werewolves were the villains, and the villagers were the good people. Every night, the werewolves voted to kill one person. The Seer could investigate who was a werewolf, while the Witch could either save someone or poison someone to death. The rest was too complicated for Househusband Xia to understand, so they would simply play however they liked.
Xiao Luo, who understood the rules best, served as the moderator.
Xie Jia Hua was killed on the very first night.
The retired old man rose silently and went to rub his waist on the sofa next door, his twilight years bleak and desolate.
“It definitely wasn’t Xia Liu Yi who killed me,” Xie Jia Hua said before leaving.
“But while everyone’s eyes were closed, I heard a slight movement from Mr. Xia’s direction,” Kevin said.
“That was probably because Brother Liu Yi’s backside hurts…”
“He A’San, shut your mouth!” Xia Liu Yi shouted.
“Silence! Silence!” Moderator Xiao Luo pounded the table.
Another night passed.
“Bastards! First you kill my man, then you kill me! Are you trying to wipe out my whole family? I’d like to see which black-hearted scoundrel did this!” Lu Guang Ming shouted.
“Who the hell is the Witch? Who is it?! Could you use the antidote already? The villagers are nearly all dead! Save someone!” Cui Dong Dong yelled.
“A’San, that little bastard, must be a werewolf! He already looks like a wolf with a huge tail!”
“Brother Xiao Ma, there is absolutely no logic behind your deduction. I suggest everyone vote Brother Xiao Ma out this round.”
In the end, the villagers were slaughtered completely, and the werewolves achieved an overwhelming victory. When the truth was revealed, the werewolves were indeed He Chu San and his faithful old follower Kevin.
“Xia Xiao Liu, you damn gay bastard who forgets his friends the moment he sees a pretty face! You were the Witch, yet you used your antidote every night to save that wolf cub He A’San?!” Cui Dong Dong roared furiously.
“He San San! What happened to friendship forever?!” Lu Guang Ming was also enraged. “You killed both of us the moment the game started?!”
“Your man hit my man and injured his backside. Whose backside am I supposed to ring in the new year with tonight?”
“Your man twisted my man’s waist too! Who am I supposed to spend tonight with?!”
The fifty-year-old domineering CEO and the fifty-year-old veteran ICAC investigator went downstairs for another fight. Several children eating lollipops gathered to watch and called to their mothers. “Mom! Those two old men earlier fought with walking sticks. These two old men are pulling each other’s hair!”
“Shameless old men! Shameless old men!”
