When all the three dices showed sixes in front of his eyes again, Xu Shuai’s smile froze. He stared at them in disbelief for quite a while. “Again?”
He looked up at Xu Weilai, and then move his gaze to Xiao Chun. “You cheated, didn’t you?”
“Cheated my ass!”Xiao Chun retorted unceremoniously. “This is what we call skill. Admit defeat! Truth or dare?”
“...”
Xu Shuai didn’t give up and checked for evidence that the two women cheated in the Liar’s Dice game. After he failed to find any traces that they cheated, he had no choice but to choose dare again. Thus, he downed another bottle of liquor.
However, this was only the beginning.
After that, no matter how many pointers Xu Shuai rolled, Xu Weilai would always be able to roll pointers that were higher than he did. It was as if she existed just to restrain him. After a while, he got tipsy after all the liquor he drank from the defeat. His face was as red as beetroot from the alcohol flushes.
He raised his hand as a sign of surrender. “No more please, no more... I admit defeat. Xu Weilai, you’re like a cheat. Who could have competed with you? I don’t want to play anymore, I don’t want to drink anymore...”
Xu Weilai didn’t make him. She leisurely leaned against the sofa and took a sip from her glass of wine. Her innocent smile still plastered on her face. “Okay, if you’re not drinking, then let’s go for the truth!”
“Nope to that too...”Xu Shuai refused insistently as he struggled to get up, ready to dash out from this terrifying private room.
But before he could stand up, he felt a forceful press on his shoulder and he was seated back on the sofa. It was Xiao Chun. “Sit down. It’s either you drink, or you have a good chat with us.”
Xu Shuai grimaced. He clasped his hands together into prayer and bowed down low to both of them as if he was worshipping them. “My dearest high and mighty madams, please spare me. I seriously don’t know what you want to know. I don’t know anything at all...”
“I have not even asked you anything and you tell me you don’t know anything? I think you need to get beaten up, am I right?”Xiao Chun raised her fist and threatened fiercely.
Xu Weilai lightly swirled the wine in the wineglass she was holding. She pondered for a moment and said, “Xu Shuai, I don’t want to make things difficult for you. I know that you won’t betray Gu Yu, so let’s both compromised a little.”
“Just say what you’re allowed to say, and I promise that I won’t give you any more trouble in the future. What do you think about this?”
“What if I disagree...?”
The smile on Xu Weilai’s face disappeared. “If you don’t agree, the situations like this will happen for the third time, fourth time, and it’s going to be neverending...”
She was neither a pleasant little lady nor the timid girl-next-door, and she was very thick-skinned. She could work in the press and media industry and work relentlessly on the news she was covering no matter how difficult the job could have been. There’s no reason for her to be unable to handle Xu Shuai.
“Xu Weilai, you are a ruthless woman!”
Xu Shuai was in no condition to struggle further. He collapsed on the sofa and stayed there for quite a while. He was so helpless, “Okay, deal. I’ll give you one statement.”
One statement.
Well, one statement would be better than no statement.
Xu Weilai put down her wine glass and faced him. Her dark eyes fixated on his face. She gulped down the remaining wine in her mouth before she started speaking. “Okay, what do you have to say?”
Xu Shuai drank quite a lot. He burped slightly, rubbed the space between his eyebrows, and closed his eyes. Then, as if he was going all out, he said, one word after another, “You shouldn’t have returned.”
You shouldn’t have returned?
Xu Weilai had thought of all kinds of things that he would have said, but this statement was certainly not on her expected listing.
