Chapter 804: Li Xiao, Let's Play for High Stakes

Cai Xiaotang suddenly felt a bit nervous, only realizing it at this very moment.

When she had just walked in...

It seemed...

She had only seen one bed?

Cai Xiaotang's face suddenly burned up. To prevent herself from overthinking, she stammered as she changed the subject: "Um... where are they? Did they all leave?"

"What else?"

Li Xiao crossed his arms over his chest and watched her with leisurely composure: "If they didn't leave, were they supposed to stay and be third wheels? You haven't forgotten... that we're out on a date, have you?"

He walked toward Cai Xiaotang, deliberately biting off the word "date" with heavy emphasis.

Cai Xiaotang immediately took a step back and nervously repeated: "Right! A date! Then... what do you do on a date? Do you have any plans?"

"No."

Li Xiao answered crisply, satisfied as he admired her current flustered state.

Cai Xiaotang also pinched her own palm hard.

Stay calm!

It doesn't necessarily mean anything will happen today!

What if this guy gets tired from playing and just falls asleep the moment he gets back!

Cai Xiaotang's gaze flickered for a moment. Forcing down all the "colorful" thoughts in her mind, she hurriedly said: "Then I'll make the arrangements. How about we... watch a movie first?"

"In the morning... watch a movie?"

Li Xiao raised an eyebrow.

Cai Xiaotang, however, had made up her mind. She pulled him into the room and, without another word, turned on the projector.

Li Xiao suddenly thought of something and asked with narrowed eyes: "Do you want to watch a horror movie?"

A trace of a malicious smile hung on the corners of his mouth.

He had originally intended to hear Cai Xiaotang refuse, but instead saw her suddenly look at him with a face full of disdain.

"Are you sure?"

Cai Xiaotang's expression was suspicious.

She might as well have had the words "Do you dare to watch it?" written on her face.

Li Xiao raised an eyebrow, simply reached over for the remote control, and closed all the curtains, blocking all the light from outside.

The room instantly became dim.

Only the projector shone with a faint light, flickering on and off.

"If you regret it now, there's still time."

Li Xiao reminded her in a good mood, already unable to help but imagine the scene in his mind of Cai Xiaotang being so scared she curled up into his arms.

"Tch..."

Cai Xiaotang gave a light huff and threw the TV remote directly at him.

"You pick. Pick whatever you want. If I dare to make a sound, I lose."

"Do you want to bet on something?"

Li Xiao suddenly asked.

"Sure, what do you want to bet?"

Cai Xiaotang agreed readily, her expression suddenly somewhat excited.

Seeing her take the bait, Li Xiao pondered for two seconds and asked in return: "What about you? Is there anything you want to bet?"

"As for me..."

Cai Xiaotang drew out her voice. Taking advantage of the dim light in the room, she curled her lips into a blatant, wicked smile.

Daring to make this kind of bet with her, Li Xiao was finished!

Did he think she was just putting on a brave front?

Well, that was just too bad, because she really was NOT! AFRAID! AT! ALL!

Got it!

Aren't they going to soak in the hot springs tonight!

Then how about...

"Ahem!"

Cai Xiaotang cleared her throat, then stifled a laugh as she said: "It's very simple. If I'm truly not afraid at all, you... wear a women's bikini for me to see! A three-piece one! Just wear the top! And then let me take a picture to keep as a souvenir!"

"Playing that dirty???"

Li Xiao widened his eyes slightly. Just thinking about that image made him shudder with disgust.

Cai Xiaotang was practically beaming with delight: "That's right, you're the one who wanted to play. There's still time to back out now. If you don't want to bet, then forget it, or..."

"Do you think you'll definitely lose, so you don't dare to bet?"

"I..."

Li Xiao looked helplessly at the person in front of him; it seemed there really was no room to back out.

He thought for a moment, then suddenly asked uncertainly: "How do I know if you're just pretending not to be afraid?"

"That's easy to handle."

Cai Xiaotang's bag was thrown to the side. As she spoke, she rummaged through it quickly, suddenly pulling out a sports wristband and throwing it to Li Xiao.

"My average heart rate should be between seventy and eighty. During the movie, you can check my heart rate at any time, but to ensure the data is accurate, the upper limit is one hundred. If it goes over, I lose. How about it?"

Her eyes were shining, eager for Li Xiao to agree quickly.

This was him walking right into the line of fire!

Today, no matter what, I must make him stumble!

Hehehe... finally, I can get my hands on someone's dark history!

Li Xiao also saw through the intentions of Cai Xiaotang, and seeing her so determined, he suddenly felt a chill down his back.

Clearly, he was the one setting a trap for someone, so why did he now feel like he had stepped into a pit himself?

Should he back out now... or take the gamble?

Just as Li Xiao was thinking this, he heard Cai Xiaotang slowly speak again: "If I lose, you can pick out a swimsuit for me too~ Any style is fine~"

Her tone was like a little hook, carrying a heavy scent of temptation.

Li Xiao's heart was successfully hooked and felt a bit itchy.

Picking out a swimsuit for her... this kind of opportunity was indeed rare, and if he missed it...

"Hey, I've already said this much, and you still don't dare?"

Seeing that he had yet to agree, Cai Xiaotang even resorted to using a "provocation tactic."

Li Xiao steeled his heart and finally agreed: "Fine! Then it's a bet!"

"Beautiful! I just admire how decisive you are!"

Cai Xiaotang gave Li Xiao a thumbs-up directly, smiling with a face full of triumph, almost unable to hide her little schemes.

Li Xiao could only sigh in his heart.

He had really gambled big this time...

However, a movie is at least an hour and a half long; he still had time to slowly think of a way to turn the situation around...

The two of them set the "agreement" just like that, and then, quite fairly, randomly played a horror movie from the program's selection.

"It's starting."

Cai Xiaotang happily pressed the play button, victory already in her grasp.

This time, even the heavens were helping her!

She had seen this horror movie before!

Then winning would be even less difficult!

Li Xiao was definitely going to wear a bikini today!

Soon, the eerie music of the opening credits began to play.

Li Xiao sat up straight, took a quick glance at the progress bar below, and let out a slight sigh of relief.

Not bad.

This movie was actually going to play for two hours!

He had bought himself another half hour of time!

He looked at Cai Xiaotang beside him without changing his expression, his brain spinning rapidly, still holding onto a sliver of hope in his heart.

What if she was really just putting on a brave front?

Perhaps he could win quite easily?

Li Xiao thought this as he carefully observed Cai Xiaotang's expression.

Yet he saw her looking completely calm; not only was she lying half-prone in contentment, but she had also taken the fruit from the table and was peeling an orange with a look of ease!

The film immediately created a full-blown horror atmosphere from the start.

A woman's scream, lights flickering on and off, and shadows flashing in the hallway appeared scene after scene.

Look at Cai Xiaotang again.

She had already finished the first orange and reached out to grab another one.

Then she quickly peeled the skin, kindly broke off half, held it out in front of Li Xiao, and asked with a smile: "Do you want some?"

Li Xiao: "..."

He didn't want to eat; he just wanted some peace and quiet.

She really wasn't afraid at all!

Was he truly destined to wear a women's swimsuit today!
