Gu Chen was displeased, and reached under the table to take Xiang Yu's hand, which was hanging by his side.
He held on tightly, and Xiang Yu tried to pull away but failed.
Xiang Yu turned her head, ready to ask Gu Chen to let go, but when she saw Gu Chen's aggrieved little expression, she softened. Just then, she saw Wang Zehao next to Gu Chen glance in their direction, pause for a moment, and then quickly turn his face away, clearly having seen something.
"Let go quickly, someone saw us." Xiang Yu panicked a little. He didn't know if Wang Zehao knew anything, so he forcefully pulled his hand away.
Xu Youluo had already started spinning the bottle, and the game had entered its second round. It was too noisy around, and Gu Chen didn't hear the second half of her sentence. She only heard her boyfriend tell her to let go.
"..." My boyfriend not only took off his clothes to show others, but also started complaining that I was too controlling.
Gu Chen downed a glass of wine and began to feel miserable on his own.
The bottle was turned to Qiao Long, who, being a tough and resolute man, drew an adventure card.
-kiss the person on your right.
"?" Li Yifan quickly turned to Qiao Long, "Brother Long, I'm a straight man, you know, I like girls with big breasts and slim waists."
Qiao Long nodded, "Yes, yes, I'm straight too, but we men have to be able to have fun—come on, Xiao Fanfan!"
After a super loud 'mua', Li Yifan rubbed his face blankly, then desperately lunged at Jiang Wensong, burying his face in his shoulder, whimpering, "I'm not clean anymore, waaaah~"
Jiang Wensong tried to suppress his laughter, but couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.
Li Yifan moved to Xiang Yu's side and continued to sob, "Brother~ I'm not clean anymore, I'm not clean anymore."
Xiang Yu was taken aback by his exaggerated performance and words, coughed, and gently patted his head, saying, "You need to learn to let go."
Li Yifan: "?"
Xu Youqing rotated the bottle.
Upon seeing the result, Wang Zehao was delighted, saying, "Sister Xu really put aside her own family for the greater good."
"Get lost," Xu Youluo laughed and scolded him, then drew an adventure card.
-Kiss the person on your left.
The people around cheered again.
Wu Bingyue joked, "The aloof school bully and the cute puppy, I'm all for them!"
Xu Youluo held the cards, intending to look to the corner, but instead turned her head and met Gu Chen's gaze.
The urge to kill someone is impossible to hide in one's eyes.
Xu Youlu remained silent, downed three cups in a row, and spun the bottle.
The people around laughed, and Wang Zehao, always eager for a good show, continued to shout, "Oh, little brother's not convinced!"
Xu Youqing chuckled softly and drew an adventure card.
- Stare deeply into the eyes of the person opposite you for thirty seconds.
Xu Youluo stood up immediately: "I won't allow it, I'll drink three cups for my sister!"
The next second, Zhang Zitong and Qiao Long rushed up and pressed him into the seat.
Zhang Zitong joked, "Children aren't allowed to drink alcohol!"
Qiao Long chuckled and egged them on, "Keep going, keep going... Hey kid, you've got some serious energy!"
The two of them fussed around him, and Xiang Yu was squeezed and moved closer to Gu Chen.
She turned her head and noticed Gu Chen's resentful and aggrieved expression.
Xiang Yu asked, "What's wrong?"
"Sigh~" Gu Chen sighed softly, "It's nothing, I'm fine, sigh~"
After saying that, he poured himself another glass.
Xiang Yu: "..."
Xu Youqing got up and moved to the opposite side, looking at Jiang Wensong, instantly getting into character.
The entire room fell silent.
"Holy crap, my Sister Xu is really an Oscar winner." Wang Zehao nudged Yang Shuhuan and whispered, "If you didn't know better, you'd think they'd been dating for years."
Jiang Wensong's face quickly turned hot, and he kept swallowing. Before half the time had passed, he suddenly stood up and punished himself with three cups of wine.
"Hahaha, Song'er has broken down." Zhang Boyuan whistled.
Xu Youqing smiled helplessly and said apologetically, "I'm sorry."
Jiang Wensong didn't dare to look at her, stammering, "No, it's nothing."
As everyone played, their enthusiasm grew. Xu Youqing flipped the bottle over, pointing the opening at An Jie, who hadn't said much.
Compared to other girls, Anjie appeared quiet and shy.
Anjie hesitated between dare or truth, and finally reached for dare.
- Confess your feelings to one of the opposite sexes present.
The moment this card was revealed, the entire audience erupted in cheers.
Wu Bingyue raised an eyebrow, exchanged an amused glance with Sun Menglu, and whispered something in An Jie's ear.
Upon hearing this, Anjie blushed, lowered her head and fidgeted for a long time before slowly raising her head to look at the person opposite her.
Out of the corner of her eye, Xiang Yu noticed that Gu Chen was drinking one cup after another, his face visibly flushed.
Gu Chen wasn't a big drinker either, and Xiang Yu was afraid he'd get a headache from drinking too much, so she snatched the glass of wine, brought it to her own lips, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Don't drink too much, or you'll feel unwell." Xiang Yu put down her cup, leaned over, and gently advised him.
Actually, it wasn't a big deal, but Gu Chen had been drinking so much that he had a lot of pent-up grievances. Just as his boyfriend was comforting him, he was about to vent his frustrations when he heard the girl across from him say something.
"Xiang Yu, you are very outstanding, and I like you very much..."
"Oh~~" The atmosphere in the entire venue reached its peak.
Gu Chen: "..."
Gu Chen closed his mouth and poured himself another cup.
"..." Xiang Yu was stunned by this sudden confession, and coughed twice when she came to her senses.
Everyone was waiting for Xiang Yu's answer.
Everyone was somewhat drunk, and even those who weren't drunk felt dizzy in this atmosphere.
Sun Menglu became more and more excited as she drank, and said loudly, "School bully, Xiang Xuezhi, An Jie is the top student in our class. You two are a perfect match, one strong in arts and the other in sciences."
Upon hearing this, Anjie blushed even more, lowering her head as if she wanted to bury it under the table.
Sigh~
Xiang Yu glanced at the person beside him and, sure enough, Gu Chen was pouring himself a drink while sighing.
"..." Xiang Yu thought that Gu Chen, that idiot, was probably drunk.
"I have someone I like, I'm sorry." Xiang Yu raised his glass apologetically to her and drank it all in one gulp.
"No, it's okay." Although Anjie shook her head and said it was okay, everyone could feel her disappointment.
The school bully admitted to having a crush on someone – that's big news!
Tang Yue, Wu Bingyue, and the others sensed the juicy gossip and were just about to press for more details.
"Let's play games first, we can talk about other things after we're done," Xu Youqing said, stopping Xiang Yu from saying that.
“Then I’ll spin it.” Xu Youlu quickly followed up her sister’s words with action. Before Tang Yue and the others could say anything, the bottle opening was already pointed at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen's eyes were glazed over; he was so drunk that he only knew it was his turn, so he simply picked up the card that was closest to him.
-Give the person on your right a deep kiss for thirty seconds.
"Holy crap, this is serious!" Qiao Long exclaimed.
The surrounding noise and chaos became useless background noise to Gu Chen, who stared motionless at the card in his hand.
A deep kiss...to the person on your right...for thirty seconds...
Before Xiang Yu could react, the face in front of him suddenly loomed larger.
"Aaaaaaah!"
"Aaaaaaah!"
The scene became chaotic, and Tang Yue and Wang Airu couldn't help but shout and scream excitedly.
"What the hell?! Holy crap?!" Wang Zehao grabbed Yang Shuhuan's arm. "How dare you?!"
Xu Youqing was also stunned, feeling that these two were being far too bold. She raised her hand to cover the girls around her who were holding up their phones, "Don't record anything. Everyone was drunk tonight and got a bit carried away... Delete whatever you take pictures of."
Xiang Yu wanted to push Gu Chen away. Even with the "dare" excuse, kissing in public was really too much. Besides, the other party didn't just take a quick bite; he forcefully invaded her territory and stole her kiss.
Soft yet carrying a hint of alcohol, Gu Chen half-opened his eyes, plunging into this profound space that resembled the stars of the universe. After a moment of disorientation, he gradually succumbed, becoming intoxicated by its beauty.
The passionate atmosphere gradually subsided, and the exclamations around them were replaced by the buzzing of mosquitoes.
From shock to utter bewilderment, Li Yifan whispered to the person next to him, "Isn't it already past the appointed time?"
Jiang Wensong nodded silently, glanced at the time, and said, "It's been a minute."
"Ugh!" Xiang Yu suddenly opened her eyes, pushed Gu Chen away, and turned her face away from him.
Gu Chen was still not fully awake. Staring at her boyfriend, whose ears were bright red, the rustling sounds around her grew clearer, and she gradually regained consciousness.
He just now, it seems, kissed her forcibly in front of their classmates without her permission...
Gu Chen's mind went blank for a moment, and he was completely awake.
Zhang Boyuan, who knew about the relationship between the two, swallowed hard, raised his glass and stood up, trying to lighten the mood. He cleared his throat twice, bringing everyone back to reality from what had just happened.
"Well then, let's raise a glass to wish Sister Xu and Luo a happy birthday, academic success, and a bright future!"
"Um...right, right, let's wish Sister Xu and Luozai all their dreams come true and that they rise to higher positions." Wang Zehao raised his glass, trying to cover up his embarrassment.
"May Luozai make rapid progress, and may Youqing reach the pinnacle of success." Yang Shuhuan raised his glass and stood up.
"Wishing Luozi a bright future, and wishing Sister Xu a life as bright as the sun... the sun... the sun is setting?... Oh dear!"
Li Yifan was stepped on by Jiang Wensong, who glared at him with exasperation and said in a low voice, "At the height of your power! Is 'sunset in the west' a good phrase?!"
