After the song ended, the score was over 90, and everyone praised her.
"Ge'er's singing skills haven't diminished. You must have practiced a lot these past few years, just not with us. Alas, we're simply not in the same league anymore. You don't think highly of your old classmates."
They always used words like this to corner her. At first, Ge'er wanted to explain, but now she was too lazy to bother.
Fine, if they thought she looked down on them, so be it.
She did look down on them, so what?
The punishment she deserved had been delivered. The crowd surrounded her and led her back to the private room to start the next round.
It was unclear if the sports committee member was cheating or what, but he was controlling the game so well.
The bottle spun a few times and, by ill fortune, landed on Ge'er again.
Everyone cheered loudly, the atmosphere even more fervent than before, as if they were waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
Without a second thought, Ge'er chose to forfeit, asking Jiang Wei to drink. The others disagreed.
"You're forfeiting without even playing, isn't that just admitting defeat? You can't do that."
Ge'er said, "It's all up to you anyway. I have no choice."
They started persuading her again, "It's rare for us to get together. Just cooperate properly. So many people are watching, don't disappoint everyone."
Unable to withstand their incessant nagging, which was driving her mad, Ge'er waved her hand irritably and drew another card.
It was to drink a cross-cupped wine with the person opposite her.
There were many people opposite her. Who was it supposed to be?
She shrewdly spotted a loophole in the game and picked a girl. She raised her fruit juice to drink with her, but the sports committee member was unhappy again.
"Cross-cupped wine, sister, what's with the fruit juice? We're not students anymore, and it's not like you can't drink. We can just have a driver pick us up. It's no fun playing unfairly. Come, come, bring the wine. Serve Ms. Zhan some Wuliangye."
Ge'er had been patiently playing along with them, and she was fed up. She had already told them beforehand that she couldn't drink, and they were still trying to persuade her!
Seeing someone actually pouring her wine, her eyes turned cold. She put down the fruit juice, ready to turn hostile and leave. Lei Dongyi, who was beside her, quietly kicked her under the table.
Then he stood up, looking at the sports committee member with a smile.
"She said beforehand that she couldn't drink, and everyone agreed. It doesn't violate the game rules, does it?"
"Don't be like that. Play is play, and jokes are jokes, but we still need to handle serious matters. As you said, we're not students anymore, so it's not like we'd stop working just to play a game."
Seeing Ge'er's expression change, Jiang Wei quickly spoke up.
Blah, blah, blah. After everyone's understanding, the sports committee member's voice was drowned out.
Lei Dongyi reached out and tugged Ge'er's arm, urging her to get up and drink a glass of fruit juice with the girl opposite her.
After drinking, Ge'er heavily put down the cup, her eyes already filled with anger.
She was staying now not for Jiang Wei, but for the sports committee member.
That scoundrel, was he targeting her?
If the first two rounds were a coincidence, she could accept it. But if the third round was also her, she would definitely settle the score with this guy!
As everyone held their breath, the sports committee member started spinning the bottle again.
This time, it didn't point at Ge'er but at Lei Dongyi, who was beside her.
The crowd's cheers were even more intense than before.
Lei Dongyi hadn't attended class reunions in years, and everyone's gossip interest was burning fiercely.
Lei Dongyi chose truth or dare. As expected, the first question drawn was when his first kiss was lost.
"We're not children anymore, don't play those silly games. Don't say you gave it to your dad, your mom, or your aunt when you were born. We want the truth! Lei Shen, confess."
Honestly, the moment the sports committee member read out the question, Ge'er's curiosity was also ignited.
She didn't know if Lei Dongyi still remembered what happened back then, or if she counted as his first...
In any case, she shouldn't have come to this damned wedding today. Listening to Jiang Wei's nonsense and coming to fool around with these people!
Everything she should and shouldn't think about flooded her mind. What was going on!
Everyone was staring at Lei Dongyi. He calmly paused for two seconds, picked up the fruit juice in front of him, and took a sip.
"Sixteen."
The crowd was silent for a moment, then erupted into unprecedented cheers and jeers.
"Sixteen, that was in the second year of high school? You were actually dating? With whom? How come we didn't know?"
"Was it someone from our class or another class? Older or younger? From our school or another school? Well done! You always act so proper, like a high mountain flower that no one dares to approach, but secretly you're playing so wild behind our backs!"
They chattered endlessly, as if he owed them an explanation, all pestering him with questions.
Lei Dongyi leaned back on the sofa, looking at everyone calmly. He waited until they had all finished speaking before replying.
"I refuse to answer so many questions. If you want to hear my answer, ask one question at a time."
With faces full of gossip, they all sat back down, diligently instructing the sports committee member.
"Be precise, aim for him. Today, we must dig out all his secrets!"
The sports committee member actually had some skill. Living up to everyone's expectations, he once again pointed the bottle at Lei Dongyi.
Everyone cheered again, urging him to choose truth or dare.
Lei Dongyi didn't get angry. He just smiled faintly at the sports committee member and said.
"You've treated the KTV as your home these past few years, haven't you? You've practiced so much, mastered the force so well, it would be a shame not to deal cards for people."
"However, I don't want to answer truth or dare anymore. This time, I'll choose dare."
"Tsk," everyone expressed their disappointment, but they still handed him the cards.
Lei Dongyi didn't even look, casually drawing one.
The sports committee member read it aloud in front of everyone: Pick any girl present and tell her "I love you."
"Ah—"
Except for Ge'er, all the girls present were excited.
As if the person he was going to confess to was themselves, they all covered their faces and screamed.
However, Lei Dongyi pondered for two seconds, grabbed the Wuliangye bottle beside him, and said with a wicked grin.
"Sorry, I can't say it. I'll take the penalty."
The girls let out a wave of disappointment and regret.
The game continued.
Perhaps it was because she had eaten too much, but it started to take effect now. Or perhaps the crowd was too dense, and the air in the private room was too stuffy. In any case, Ge'er's pregnancy nausea, though late, arrived. She started feeling sick again.
It was difficult to get out of the crowd. She wanted to hold on for a while but couldn't.
If she didn't leave soon, she would vomit in the private room. While everyone was making noise, she quietly squeezed out, clutching her chest.
She ran all the way to the restroom and vomited by the sink, but nothing came out.
It was truly nauseating, making her feel so uncomfortable. She couldn't stay here any longer. She decided to call Jiang Wei and ask her to help get her bag.
She reached for her clothes and then remembered her phone was on the coffee table.
Annoyed, she didn't want to go back to the private room. She walked out of the restroom and leaned against the wall in the corridor, intending to ask a waiter to go in for her.
Qin Shen appeared again at the opportune moment.
