āWell, it does make sense. How could Lin Jiage be interested in her? She isnāt tall, her figure isnāt great, and her clothes are also so-so. With one look, you can easily tell that sheās from a humble family. Other than her barely decent face, thereās nothing about her that makes her worthy of Lin Jiage.ā
āHah. Despite Lin Jiageās wealth, sheās still wearing those rags. It looks like Lin Jiage really doesnāt like her, heās not even giving her any moneyā¦ā
The duoās voices gradually grew farther and farther away. In the end, Shi Yao could only hear the faint sounds of their disdainful sneers.
When everything outside finally quietened down, Shi Yao pulled the door open and walked out.
Immersed in her thoughts, she didnāt notice that the door to the male restroom at the opposite end happened to open at the same time.
With her head lowered, she slowly washed her hands before walking away.
It was only when her footsteps echoed in the distance that the door of the male restroom finally opened fully, and Lin Jiage walked out.
For a moment, he stared at the sink which the young lady had used before walking up to it and turning on the tap.
After washing his hands, he lifted his head and looked into the mirror. The sight of her leaving the female restroom with her head lowered lifelessly flashed across his mind.
Did she hear what those women had said?
Lin Jiageās Adamās apple moved up and down twice before he recovered from his daze. Switching off the tap, he also left the area as well.
ā¦
When Shi Yao returned to the suite, Lin Jiage was nowhere to be seen. However, Liang Mumu had arrived.
Liang Mumu had come with Shi Yaoās favorite cake, but perhaps what sheād overheard at the restroom had affected herāShi Yao didnāt have much of an appetite. Her mind kept wandering as she ate the cake.
A while later, Lin Jiage returned.
Shi Yao put down her fork, intending to tell Lin Jiage that she didnāt want to hang out anymore and wanted to go home. However, before she could speak a word, Liang Mumu, noting Lin Jiageās return, greeted him loudly with a bright smile, āBrother Jia!ā After which, she said, āSince Brother Jiaās back, everyone should be here. Why donāt we start playing that game we were talking about just now?ā
After saying those words, Liang Mumu turned to Liang Jiusi, who then placed a few poker cards and a box filled with paper slips on the table before he explained the rules, āThere are only spades and hearts among the poker cards. At the start of each round, a dice is thrown, and the ones with the spade or heart card that match the number will pick a paper slip. The two of them will then have to do whateverās written on the paper slip. Letās just make it clear first, the one who refuses to do it will have to drink ten shots as a penalty!ā
After explaining the rules, Liang Jiusi threw the dice first before distributing the cards and drawing a paper slip.
The first pair chosen were both men. The one with the spade card had to say the classic confession from A Chinese Odyssey 1 to the one who had the heart card.
The second person to hand out the cards was a lady whom Liang Jiusi had invited. She picked out a couple, and they had to hug in front of the entire room for thirty seconds.
The third person to distribute the cards was Liang Mumu. She picked Lin Jiage and Shi Yao, and the mission on the paper slip stated that they had to kiss for one minute.
Cheers rang out throughout the room. There were some who took out their phones, preparing to time the mission.
But time ticked by, and Lin Jiage and Shi Yao showed no signs of moving at all.
Gradually, the bustling suite grew silent.
āArenāt they an engaged couple? Why arenāt they kissing?ā
āMaybe Lin Jiage doesnāt want to kiss her?ā
The soft voices of two females could be heard. It sounded as if they were whispering to one another, but their words reached the ears of everyone in the room.
The atmosphere gradually grew a little weird.
Recalling the words sheād heard earlier in the restroom, Shi Yao couldnāt help but dig her fingernails into her palms.
It was impossible for him to kiss her. If this were to go on, by the time someone proposed that they drink the penalty, she would only be placed in a very awkward positionā¦
Rather than face that, she might as well propose to drink herself.
With this thought in mind, Shi Yao reached out for the shot cup on the table as her lips parted, āIāā
Sheād barely said a word when Lin Jiage, who was sitting next to her, suddenly stretched his hand forward to lock the back of her head in place.
Her body froze. Before she realized what was happening, a shadow covered her face, and a warm and soft sensation came into contact with her lipsā¦
