Lin Mian saw this scene for the first time and was completely stunned. The cheering around her continued, but the two individuals kissing showed no signs of stopping, even becoming more intense. She vaguely saw Gong Ziguo reaching his hand into the hem of the woman's clothes... until a large hand covered her line of sight.
Looking up, Lin Mian saw Qin Li's gentle and handsome face, his warm eyes providing a sense of comfort to her heart. Qin Li leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "Don't be too scared, you'll get used to it." Get used to it? Did she have to get used to such situations in the future?
Lowering her head, Lin Mian felt a mix of complex emotions that she couldn't quite express. She couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance to her right, noticing Shi Ling lazily leaning against the sofa. From her angle, she could only see the clear outline of his jawline, superior in features, long and sleek.
His cold aura was in stark contrast to the surroundings, as he held a glass of alcohol in his hand, taking small sips with his head slightly tilted, his Adam's apple gently bobbing, emitting an indescribable sense of allure. Lin Mian was mesmerized until the cheering stopped, and the two individuals locked in a deep kiss reluctantly separated, leaving a heavy atmosphere of ambiguity in the room.
Lin Mian quickly averted her gaze, sitting up straight in her seat. As the second round of the game began, Lu Zhibai skillfully dealt the cards, and soon everyone had their own. With Lu Zhibai declaring "show your cards," everyone began to reveal their hands, including Lin Mian.
A dazzling ace of hearts appeared!
"Hey, little lady, you're lucky to draw so quickly."
With a joking remark from someone, all eyes turned with interest towards her, some assessing, some probing, some eager for a show.
Lin Mian sat nervously upright, subconsciously clenching her fingers, a telltale sign of her nervousness. "Come on, let's play by the rules, truth or dare?" Dare was definitely out of the question. She couldn't accept kissing a stranger.
Without hesitation, Lin Mian said, "I choose truth." "Alright, let's give the little lady a prop," Lu Zhibai ordered and someone brought over a lie detector, firmly fastening it onto Lin Mian's pulse. "Young lady, with the lie detector strapped on, you must answer truthfully. If you answer incorrectly, you will face double the consequences."
Lin Mian clicked her tongue, surprised by the high-tech aspect of their game. She nodded to show understanding. The next question left her red-faced.
"Who did you give your virginity to? Describe in detail the position you used." Lin Mian's head exploded! She hadn't expected even the truth to be so direct. If it were any other question, she could handle it, but of all questions... And the answer to this question sat right next to her.
Lin Mian clenched her fingers tightly, her face flushing red as if about to burst into flames, unable to utter a word. Shi Ling beside her seemed to have heard nothing.
Casually lounging on the sofa, playing with playing cards without a care, showing no reaction at all.
It seemed as if he was not familiar with her at all.
Lin Mian swallowed nervously, feeling extremely tense.
"Countdown, thirty seconds. If you don't speak, you'll face double the consequences, little lady," Lu Zhibai reminded her gently from the side.
What should she do? Should she speak up?
Lin Mian's palms were sweating with nerves.
"You guys, leave her alone, she's still young and naive, don't tease the young girl."
Just as she was at a loss, Qin Li's voice came to her rescue.
Lu Zhibai, always eager to stir up trouble, said: "Didn't we agree to play by the rules, to accept the outcome of the gamble? Can't handle it?"
