After a song ended, with a score of over 90, everyone praised her.
"Ge'er's singing hasn't diminished over the years. You must have practiced a lot, you just didn't practice with us. Alas, we're just not on the same level anymore. You don't think much of your old classmates."
They always cornered her with such remarks. Initially, Ge'er tried to explain, but now she was too lazy to bother.
Fine, if they thought she looked down on them, let them.
She *did* look down on them, so what?
The punishment she deserved had already been meted out. The crowd, surrounding her, led her back to the private room to start the next round.
She didn't know if the sports committee member was cheating or what, but he had somehow gained such a good control.
The bottle spun a few times, and as fate would have it, it pointed at Ge'er again.
Everyone cheered loudly, the atmosphere more heated than before, as if they were waiting to see her embarrass herself.
Without a second thought, Ge'er chose to forfeit, making Jiang Wei drink. The others disagreed.
"You're forfeiting without even playing, aren't you just cheating? 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 nicely. So many people are watching, don't spoil everyone's fun."
Unable to withstand their incessant nagging and arguing, Ge'er waved her hand in annoyance and drew another card.
It was to drink cross-cupped wine with the person diagonally opposite her.
With a whole crowd of people diagonally opposite, who exactly was it?
She keenly spotted a loophole in the game and chose a girl. Raising her juice, she prepared to drink with her, but the sports committee member was displeased again.
"Cross-cupped wine, sister, what's this juice supposed to be? We're not students anymore, it's not like you can't drink. At worst, we can get a driver to take you home. It's no fun playing tricks all the time. Come on, come on, pour the wine. Serve our Miss Zhan some Wuliangye."
Ge'er was already patiently playing along with them and was thoroughly annoyed. She had already stated beforehand that she couldn't drink, and they were still trying to persuade her!
Seeing that someone was actually pouring her wine, her eyes turned cold. She put down her juice, preparing to turn hostile and leave, when Lei Dongyi, who was beside her, subtly kicked her foot underneath the table.
Then he stood up, looking at the sports committee member with a smile.
"She stated beforehand that she couldn't drink. Everyone had already agreed. It doesn't violate the game rules, does it?"
"Don't be like that. Play is play, fun is fun, but important matters should still be handled. You also said we're not students anymore, so it's not like playing a game means we stop working."
Seeing Ge'er's expression change, Jiang Wei quickly chimed in.
Blah, blah, blah. With 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 stand up and drink a cup of juice with the girl opposite her.
After drinking, Ge'er put down the cup heavily, anger evident in her eyes.
She was staying now, not for Jiang Wei, but for the sports committee member.
That scoundrel, targeting her?
If the first two rounds were considered coincidences, she could accept them. But if the third round also involved her, she would have to have a serious talk with this guy!
With everyone holding their breath, the sports committee member began spinning the bottle again.
This time, it didn't point at Ge'er, but at Lei Dongyi beside her.
The cheers from the crowd were even more intense than before.
Lei Dongyi hadn't attended class reunions in years, and everyone's gossip about him was burning fiercely.
Lei Dongyi chose truth or dare. As expected, the first question drawn was, when did he lose his first kiss?
"We're not kids anymore, don't play these silly games. Don't say you gave it to your dad, your mom, your aunt when you were born. We want the truth! Thor, spill it."
To be honest, the moment the sports committee member read out the question, Ge'er's own curiosity was ignited.
She didn't know if Lei Dongyi still remembered what happened back then, nor did she know if she counted as his first...
In any case, she shouldn't have come to this damn reunion today, listening to Jiang Wei's nonsense and coming to fool around with this bunch of people!
What she should and shouldn't have thought about, they all came flooding back. What was happening?
Everyone was staring at Lei Dongyi. He calmly paused for two seconds, picked up the juice in front of him, and took a faint sip.
"16."
The crowd was silent for a moment, then erupted in unprecedented uproar.
"16, that was during sophomore 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? A senior or a junior? From our school or another school? Well done! You always act so prim and proper, like a flower on a high mountain that no one dares to approach, but you were secretly playing around like this behind our backs!"
They all bombarded him with questions, as if he owed them an explanation.
Lei Dongyi leaned back on the sofa, looking calmly at everyone. He only spoke after they had finished.
"I refuse to answer so many questions at once. If you want to hear my answer, we'll go one round at a time."
The crowd, with a gossip-filled expression, sat back down and repeatedly instructed the sports committee member.
"Aim true, aim for him. Today, we will uncover all his secrets!"
The sports committee member indeed had some skill, and as everyone expected, he once again pointed the bottle at Lei Dongyi.
The crowd cheered loudly again, telling him to choose truth or dare.
Lei Dongyi didn't get angry, but merely smiled at the sports committee member and said.
"You've been treating the KTV as your home these past few years, haven't you? You've practiced so much, your strength is so well-controlled, it would be a waste not to be a professional card dealer."
"However, I don't want to answer truthfully this time. I'll choose dare."
Tsk, the crowd expressed their disappointment, but still handed him the cards.
Lei Dongyi glanced at them without looking and casually drew one.
The sports committee member read it out in front of everyone: Choose any girl present and tell her I love you.
"Ah—"
All the girls present, except for Ge'er, were excited.
As if he were about to confess to them, they covered their faces and screamed.
To their surprise, Lei Dongyi pondered for two seconds, grabbed the Wuliangye bottle beside him, and with a sly smile.
"Sorry, I can't say it. I accept the penalty."
The girls expressed their disappointment and regret.
The game continued.
Perhaps it was due to eating too much, which was starting to take effect, or perhaps it was the crowdedness and the stuffy air in the private room. In any case, Ge'er's pregnancy nausea, though late, arrived. She started feeling nauseous again.
It was difficult to leave while sandwiched in the crowd. She wanted to endure it 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 to the restroom and vomited into the sink, but nothing came out.
It was truly nauseating and made her feel terribly uncomfortable. She couldn't stay here any longer. She planned to call Jiang Wei and ask her to help bring out her bag.
She patted her body and only then remembered her phone was on the coffee table.
Annoyed, she didn't want to return to the private room. She walked out of the restroom and leaned against the wall in the hallway, intending to ask a server for help.
Qin Shen then appeared at the opportune moment.
