As expected, Xin Hulei has no reaction to hearing the challenge, while Yao Shen freezes like a rabbit cought in a snare.
He lets out a strained laugh. "Well, that's my cue to leave, this game is officially too much for me," he says, trying to keep his tone light and good-natured.
Just as Yao Shen is making his way out of their little circle, slender fingers close around his wrist. "You didn't finish your turn," Xin Hulei says, looking at him steadily.
Yao Shen shakes him off with a curl of his upper lip.
This guy doesn't know when to give up.
"I'm done playing," he says, letting coldness seep into his words.
By now both Gao Wu and Ye Fang are giving them confused looks, unable to make sense of the charged tension between them.
Xin Hulei unfolds himself from the chair, stretching his long legs. Yao Shen looks up at him in apprehension, unsure of what's going to happen next.
