Chapter 5 I would rather time be so cruel 03
"Hey, who is this beautiful girl?" Finally, a short boy in a red suit noticed me.
People's attention then gradually shifted to me, and two girls began to whisper, looking at me with their hands covering their mouths.
"The daughter of some newly listed company, right?" a voice responded.
"Forget it, forget it, don't just stand here! Let's go in and play!" Zhong Maner called out loudly.
Three or five of them walked towards the private room, and I didn't want to go in. Just as I was hesitating, I saw Fang Xuyu in the crowd looking at me with a worried look, as if asking if I had any problem in such an occasion.
Go ahead and give him face.
The private room was ridiculously large, with singing and dancing all integrated into one, and they were having a blast in there. There were colorful lights, deafening music, a few microphone masters singing at the top of their lungs, and some people gathered together to play the game of "Truth or Dare". Fang Xuyu was surrounded by a few boys, and there were a few boxes of beer on the table. They shouted "Don't let the birthday boy go". Fang Xuyu was drunk by them and his face turned red. He half leaned on the sofa and laughed, and it was unclear whether he was drunk or sober.
I sat quietly in the corner, drinking a glass of orange juice, watching them go crazy, as if isolated in another world.
Someone in the crowd playing the game shouted, "Big dare! Big dare! Big dare!"
Zhong Man'er stood up reluctantly amid the shouting.
Zhong Maner lost. Her adventure project was to designate a boy to kiss a girl.
"Man'er, your chance has come!"
"Man'er, don't be a coward, you have to thank us!"
“Come on.”
Zhong Man'er glared at them angrily, but her face was full of shyness like a blooming lily. Under everyone's expectant gaze, she slowly walked towards Fang Xuyu.
Shouts and whistles were heard. Fang Xuyu and his friends were drinking. They were attracted by the sounds and responded, creating an opportunity for them.
Zhong Man'er pouted cutely, lowered her eyes, pointed at Fang Xuyu and said, "Him!"
Fang Xuyu was gently massaging his forehead, which seemed to be aching. The outline of his face showed a drunken tiredness in the light and shadow. He didn't care too much at first, but when he heard Zhong Man'er's voice and the direction she pointed, his expression suddenly froze.
He frowned, looked at her, and asked back with some displeasure: "Are you talking about me?"
Zhong Maner nodded.
Others clapped and cheered: "Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her..."
The atmosphere became heated and I watched them like they were a farce.
Fang Xuyu had a very sour face and had no intention of talking at all. He didn't move for a long time.
The girl who was wearing a dress earlier teased in dissatisfaction: "Lv Qiuhai, you are not so boring, are you? It's just a game."
"Yes, it's just a game." Unhappy voices came one after another.
"Designate a boy to kiss a girl?" Fang Xuyu asked seriously. He stood up with a normal expression and no one refuted him.
He raised a charming smile, said nothing more, and walked towards Zhong Man'er. Zhong Man'er looked at him in surprise, and then closed her eyes unconsciously.
Fang Xuyu looked at me with burning eyes, walked past Zhong Man'er, and walked a few steps to me. I was so scared that I didn't know what was going on. Before I could hide, he put his hands around my head, bent down, and kissed me lightly on the lips. He rolled his tongue and sucked the orange juice left at the corner of my mouth into his mouth.
I felt as if I was struck by lightning, my thoughts left my body, and I felt a little confused.
There was an uproar of voices.
"I followed the rules, it's just a game." Fang Xuyu smiled like a winner, saying this to them and me. Then he was caught to drink.
He did not break the rules by specifying that a boy kiss a girl, but he did not specify which girl to kiss. In other words, all the girls present were the targets of the game.
Everyone was disappointed and kept saying it was boring. Just then, the dance music started to warm up the crowd, and everyone stepped onto the dance floor to continue dancing and having fun. I looked over and found that Zhong Man'er had gone somewhere.
Whatever, I have completely offended her.
Not long after, I found Zhong Maner pushing the door open from the side. She hung up the phone while looking at me, with a vicious look that seemed to want me to disappear from this earth immediately.
Oh, who did I offend?
There was really no point in staying any longer, so I packed up and prepared to leave.
Zhong Man'er's group of girlfriends were not happy. They kicked out two boys, and the remaining majority of girls, no matter who won the game, the loser had to choose "big dare", and the requirement was to toast me.
I thought since I had offended them anyway, it wouldn't hurt to have a couple of drinks to make amends.
In front of them were glasses of beer, and under the table were empty bottles. After a few rounds of games, I also drank several glasses. Seeing that I didn't seem drunk, Zhong Maner suggested changing the beer to white wine. After that, she handed me a glass of white wine and said with a drunken smile: "Ahai's sister is my sister. If you don't drink, you are not giving me face. I toast you!"
I shook my head and warned her with my eyes not to go too far.
I can't drink liquor, my body knows it.
"What? Do you look down on me? Ah Hai would rather kiss you than me. Do you look down on me because of this?" She said aggressively while drunk.
Fang Xuyu saw that I was embarrassed by Zhong Man'er, so he pushed away the boy who was trying to persuade him to drink, walked to Zhong Man'er with a shaky step, and clamped her wrist: "Don't go too far."
"How did I go too far! Ah Hai, is it wrong for me to like you? Why would you rather kiss her than me? Why, why..." She shouted loudly while drunk.
"I'll drink it." Seeing this, I simply took the glass of wine and drank it all, not wanting to see Fang Xuyu lose face because of me.
Fang Xuyu pulled me, who was a little shaky, and frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." I pushed his hand away.
There are already enough annoying things, and I don’t want to make people jealous here.
"I'll take you home." Fang Xuyu supported me when I almost fell, his brows twisted with worry.
Zhong Man'er looked at us and forced a very ugly smile: "I will take her home. She drank so much while playing games, so I should take her home."
Fang Xuyu looked at Zhong Maner, who reeked of alcohol, with suspicion.
"My driver is here. Don't worry, I'm still sober." Zhong Man'er's tone was a little cold. She was trying to save face in this way.
Fang Xuyu's gaze remained unchanged. Zhong Man'er snorted, "Are you afraid that I will eat her?"
"I'll go with her." I pushed Fang Xuyu's hand away, and Zhong Man'er walked out with a swaying step.
I followed her steps and came out of this place where demons were dancing in chaos.
It was very cold outside. A royal blue Porsche was parked at the foot of the stairs. Zhong Maner was standing on the top step, wrapped in a thin black cloak, like a witch in the dark night.
"Didn't we meet a long time ago?" Her tone didn't sound like she was drunk at all.
"Maybe." I walked past her without intending to have a long chat with her.
Who wants to waste time talking to an imaginary enemy? Anyway, everything I say will be a thorn in her ears. If she remembers that I interrupted her romantic confession, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
I didn't notice the calculating and sinister smile Zhong Maner gave me behind my back.
I bent down and got into the car, and Zhong Man'er also got into the passenger seat. The liquor had a strong aftereffect, and after I told her an address, I fell dizzy in the back seat of the car. At this moment, I just wanted to sleep.
In a daze, I heard Zhong Maner tell the driver an address that I was not familiar with. She looked at me in the rearview mirror, and her scarlet lips smiled in a very uncomfortable way.
If I had known in advance that Zhong Man'er would send me to the entrance of hell that night, I would have forced myself not to fall asleep in the car...
