Chapter 49: Lu Chi Toasts Her

Qin Xue actually asked this question; first, she wanted Lu Chi to give up, and second, she wanted to lead Su Yun Jiao to ask if she liked Lu Chi.

As a result, Su Yun Jiao asked, "Are you only playing with Lu Chi for the money?"

That sentence made Qin Xue's face a little embarrassed.

"We agreed, you only have one second to think, no lying."

"Of course not!"

Hearing that, Qin Xue immediately retorted, fearing that if she waited a moment longer, Lu Chi would misunderstand.

"Su Yun Jiao, what kind of questions are you asking?"

Lu Chi furrowed his brows.

Obviously somewhat dissatisfied, Su Yun Jiao asked the question.

Su Yun Jiao, however, said dismissively, "It's just a casual question; everyone, don't be so tense, feel free to ask—what's the big deal? Qin Xue, such a nice girl, definitely won't get angry, right?"

Su Yun Jiao glanced at Qin Xue opposite her with a smiling, narrowed eyes.

Although Qin Xue thought that question was deliberately asked by Su Yun Jiao, to save face she could only force a smile and say, "Yes, yeah... I don't mind."

Su Yun Jiao looked toward Lu Chi not far away and said, "Look, Qin Xue doesn't mind either, so don't stand up for her here."

After three drinks, Su Yun Jiao was actually a little tipsy, but she could still stay sober.

After all, the special cocktail she ordered wasn't very strong.

On the contrary, what Lu Chi drank earlier was different.

Because vodka and Red Bull were mixed together, drinking too quickly still makes it easy to get drunk.

"Let's keep playing."

Qin Xue then listed another game.

She said, "This game is very simple; it's called King's Game, and whoever draws the king can freely assign tasks to specific cards."

After speaking, Qin Xue took out a big king and another four cards.

"Everyone draw a card first; except the king, no one can look at their own card, but the others can."

Qin Xue demonstrated a round, and everyone quickly understood the rules.

In the first round, Su Yun Jiao was the king.

Su Yun Jiao took the remaining card that nobody wanted, then casually said, "Whoever gets a 3 should give a toast to whoever gets a 4."

Everyone lowered their heads to glance at their own cards.

Su Yun Jiao didn't know what her card was; when she looked up, she saw Lu Chi with a dark face.

"Looks like Lu Chi is a three."

Su Yun Jiao's eyes were narrowed in a smile.

I didn't expect Lu Chi to be so unlucky.

"I'm a five."

"I'm a six."

When Zhou Xian and Qin Xue both announced their cards, Su Yun Jiao realized she had a 4.

Lu Chi is supposed to give me a toast?

That's really great.

Su Yun Jiao sat in her seat, waiting for Lu Chi to give her a toast.

Lu Chi took a deep breath, and despite his resentment, he still gave Su Yun Jiao a cup of wine.

Qin Xue said worriedly, "Lu Chi, drink slowly; you're drinking a bit too fast."

Lu Chi indeed drank a bit too fast.

Even someone who can hold their liquor can't withstand drinking like that.

Zhou Xian felt the game was too purpose-driven, afraid something might really happen, so he leaned close to Su Yun Jiao's ear and said, "Later, don't mess around; if we encounter a difficult question, we'll just go back."

"Okay."

Su Yun Jiao knew what Zhou Xian was worried about.

She meant the same thing.

Lu Chi opposite had just finished his drink when he saw Zhou Xian and Su Yun Jiao whispering ear to ear, his expression growing ever uglier.

Qin Xue beside him said not to let Lu Chi drink so much, yet her pouring speed didn't slow at all.

She was only waiting for the two to get a little tipsy before confessing to Lu Chi.

"Continue."

Lu Chi's eyes kept fixed on Zhou Xian and Su Yun Jiao.

In the new round of King's Game, the king card quickly fell into Qin Xue's hand.

Qin Xue had been waiting for this opportunity.

She had already marked the cards earlier, so she could easily tell who held her specific card.

Qin Xue said, "Whoever gets a 5 should kiss whoever gets a 3."

Hearing that, Zhou Xian furrowed his brows: "Isn't this a bit too much?"

"It's just for fun; if the other party isn't willing, they can drink instead."

Seeing Qin Xue say that, Zhou Xian couldn't say anything more.

Su Yun Jiao flipped over her card.

She got a 4, Zhou Xian got a 6.

Qin Xue turned over her card, feigning surprise, and said, "I'm a 3."

Lu Chi beside her lowered his head to glance at his card—it was indeed a 5.

Seeing this, Qin Xue said somewhat embarrassedly, "Or maybe I should drink instead; after all, I'm the one who brought up the question."

Qin Xue was just putting on an act; she had no intention of drinking at all.

Lu Chi beside her picked up the wine glass first.

Seeing that Lu Chi would rather drink than kiss her, Qin Xue's expression turned ugly for a moment.

However, to avoid showing it, Qin Xue forced herself to keep a smile on her face.

Su Yun Jiao knew Qin Xue's motive wasn't really about the wine.

Indeed, she intended to confirm her relationship with Lu Chi tonight.

Su Yun Jiao didn't want to keep being a third wheel here.

So Su Yun Jiao said to Zhou Xian beside her, "Class Monitor, I think it's getting late; we should go."

"I'll walk you home."

"Wait."

Lu Chi opposite them suddenly spoke, interrupting their conversation.

Lu Chi said indifferently, "Tomorrow we don't have school; it's rare for us all to be together here. It's only this time now—wouldn't going home be a bit too soon?"

"Yeah, yeah, this game isn't fun with just two people; it's barely playable with four. If you two leave, we can't keep playing."

Qin Xue naturally didn't want Su Yun Jiao and Zhou Xian to leave now.

At the very least, we should wait until Lu Chi has had enough to drink.

Seeing that Qin Xue didn't want those two to leave.

Su Yun Jiao deliberately said, "What should we do? We've already ordered a lot of drinks earlier; I don't want the Class Monitor to spend so much money on me."

Su Yun Jiao's words came out all prim and proper.

Upon hearing that, Lu Chi opposite merely snorted and said, "What's that amount of money? Keep drinking; I'll pay for however much you have."

Seeing Lu Chi take the bait, Su Yun Jiao raised her eyebrows and said, "In that case, you might as well go all the way—treat us to this meal."

"Fine, I'll treat."

Lu Chi agreed without another word.

Only then did Su Yun Jiao sit back down; finally she tugged at Zhou Xian beside her and said, "Class Monitor, since Lu Chi already intends to treat, why not keep them company a bit longer? What do you think?"

"I'll follow your lead; I'm only responsible for walking you home later."

"Okay."

Seeing Su Yun Jiao and Zhou Xian like that, Lu Chi's face darkened.

He simply couldn't figure out when Su Yun Jiao had become so close with Zhou Xian.
