Chapter 888: Fickle in Love
....
“Dare!” Shen Xi exclaimed. She was aware of everyone’s curiosity, but she didn’t want to reveal it.
Gu Chen felt a sense of disappointment upon hearing Shen Xi’s choice of “dare.’
Zhao Yuan and Ye Min exchanged a sly glance. Then Ye Min looked at Shen Xi with a mischievous smile. “Well then, Xi, sit on Guan Lei’s lap for ten minutes.”
Shen Xi stared wide-eyed at her friend, who was clearly playing a prank on her, only to receive a playful wink from Ye Min, who seemed to think she was performing a benevolent act.
Guan Lei timely leaned back in his chair, saying with a contented smile, “Xi, come on! It’s not difficult. You used to let me hold you like this all the time, didn’t you?”
Guan Lei’s words nearly made Gu Chen flip the table and leave.
He had intended to make Guan Lei feel uncomfortable, but he miscalculated. He forgot that everyone at the table was on Guan Lei’s side.
Shen Xi felt a bit awkward, and Zhao Yuan began to speak. “Xi, no cheating. Hurry up and sit down, and let’s continue the game.”
Shen Xi turned her gaze to Gu Chen. Her feelings were complicated at the moment. It felt like sitting on another man’s lap in front of her ex-boyfriend with whom she hadn’t completely broken up.
A blatant betrayal!
Shen Xi forced a smile. Just as she was about to stand up, Guan Lei grabbed her hand, and, in the next moment, she was sitting securely in Guan Lei’s lap.
Guan Lei provocatively looked toward Gu Chen, thoroughly enjoying himself.
Gu Chen’s petty tricks, feeble and too weak to annoy Guan Lei, ultimately backfired on him.
Gu Chen, with a darkened expression, withdrew his gaze from Shen Xi. Out of sight, out of mind. Clenching his teeth, he wished he could bite off Guan Lei’s smug face.
Shen Xi, with a stiff posture, sat in Guan Lei’s lap in front of everyone. Reluctantly, she felt the warmth from Guan Lei transferring through the points of contact between them. The temperature in the small pub seemed to have risen significantly, making her feel hot all over.
Desperate to divert attention from her embarra.s.sment, Shen Xi quickly spun the bottle.
This time, the bottle pointed toward Guan Bo. Shen Xi, ignoring the temperature beneath her, smiled and asked, “Truth or dare?”
Guan Bo cast an excited glance at Zhao Yuan but reluctantly chose the truth under her pressure.
Shen Xi, looking suggestively at Zhao Yuan, asked Guan Bo, “How many girlfriends have you had?”
Guan Bo nearly exploded. “Sis? You can’t ask me that! Aren’t you setting me up to be forever alone?”
Guan Bo, with a reputation for being a playboy, had numerous female acquaintances. If he were to confess, it might be close to a hundred, if not more.
These matters had never been discussed with Zhao Yuan, and Guan Bo naturally wouldn’t voluntarily disclose his unsavory past.
Smiling at Guan Bo, Zhao Yuan said with a slightly chilly tone, “No cheating!’
Guan Bo was practically in agony. He said pitifully, “Those don’t count as girlfriends. You’re the only one I’ve ever wanted as my girlfriend!”
Guan Bo looked sincerely at Zhao Yuan, his expression anxious and nervous.
Zhao Yuan questioned skeptically, “Is that so? Why do I find it so hard to believe?”
Guan Bo nodded vigorously, desperate to show Zhao Yuan his sincerity. “Since I realized my feelings for you, I haven’t had any contact with those other girls. I’ve deleted them all!”
Afraid that Zhao Yuan wouldn’t believe him, Guan Bo took out his phone, opened various social media platforms, and showed Zhao Yuan his friend list one by one. Then, he solemnly swore, “Yuan, I swear, now there’s only you, and I only like you! As long as you’re willing to be with me, I’ll be with you for the rest of my life.”
Guan Bo became anxious at Zhao Yuan’s lack of response. He quickly said, “Yuan, I’m not lying to you. This is truth or dare, and I have game ethics. I won’t lie.’
Zhao Yuan chuckled and ignored Guan Bo’s words. She only reminded him,
“Alright, hurry up and spin. The game continues.”
Guan Bo felt extremely sad inside. With a heartbroken face, he turned the bottle in his hand, desperately hoping the next spin would land on Zhao Yuan so he could ask about her true feelings.
He was sure Zhao Yuan must like him.. Otherwise, why would she only sleep with him and not others?
