在一个阳光明媚的周六，许诺顺利地进入了一家待遇优厚的公司工作，她的几个同学得知此事后纷纷起哄，让她请客。为了这个喜讯，她在天水草堂订了一桌饭菜。然而，来吃饭的人中不仅有她的同学，还有一些她不认识的外人。不过，因为她很久没这么开心过，所以不管熟不熟悉，她都笑脸相迎。

酒足饭饱之后，许诺要去结账时，那个夏咏辞拦住了她：“哪能让女士付账呢？还是我来吧！”许诺见状忙说：“不行，说好了我请的，你们都是我的客人。”夏咏辞执意要替她付钱，而许诺坚持不同意，就这样两人争了起来。

旁边那个同学笑着对夏咏辞说：“还有人怕钱花不出去？干脆你俩猜拳吧！谁输谁掏钱。”这个被称为夏咏辞点点头。许诺见拒绝不了后，只得伸出了右手。

结果，许诺出的“布”赢了夏咏辞出的“石头”，夏咏辞乐呵呵地去收款台交钱。许诺有些过意不去，本来说是她要请客，却变成别人掏钱。出了饭店，她提议要请大家去唱歌。这次聚会难得，他们对她的提议欣然接受。

因为喝多了，不胜酒力，许诺感到有些头晕，进了KTV的包房后便一个静静地坐在角落里。她等大家都玩得差不多了才有人发现许诺还一首歌都没唱，便硬把她推到前面让她唱歌。一首歌唱完之后，夏咏辞突然走到permitting://c/0?&s=1&u=3d6a76f5-4bfc-4e70-a7a8-d9c69f2e56c6&l=zh-CN&a=t" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.baidu.com/link?url=sZwqOoPQWVpEzDkT8RnJv7IhjCgH7BxUxKmMzLXQYrA1NtYbGyDqZl face, smiling at her: “You sing very well. How about we play a game? Stone, Scissors, Paper. The first one to lose sings a song, the second one to lose sings as well...”

The result was that the first round Summer sang; the second round Xiao Nan sang; and the third round Summer sang again...

Someone looked on in confusion: "Are you two playing or not?"

Summer nodded seriously: "Yes... I mean no."

Xiao Nan smiled and shook her head: "Never mind."

After that day, Summer became addicted to guessing games. When they were sending files around or ordering dinner together, he would always suggest guessing.

Over time, Xiao Nan realized that every time they played this game after work or during meals,

Summer would look disappointed if he lost.

So she began to let him win more often.

But instead of getting happier,

Summer just looked even sadder.

Finally,

one day,

they both discovered something strange:

When they guessed stone against paper,

they won;

when they guessed scissors against rock,

they won too;

but when they guessed paper against stone or rock against scissors,

they always lost!

They couldn't figure it out until Chen Min told them their secret:

In their village's tradition of love confession through guesses,

if a man liked a woman,

he would choose stone;

and if she accepted his feelings,

she would choose both hands of paper.

If she didn't accept his feelings but still chose paper,

it meant accepting his proposal with conditions.

And if she chose any other option than stone or both hands of paper,

it meant rejecting him entirely.

This revelation left them all speechless for a moment before breaking into laughter and tears.

For in this world where love could be revealed through such simple gestures as choosing between three options,

the truth was far more complex than anyone had ever imagined.

From then on,

their office became known as the place where everyone loved each other deeply but never knew how much until it was too late.

And so goes another tale from our collection of stories about life's little mysteries and human emotions.
