Chapter 26: "Kissing someone close to you."
The ktv box. Yu Fan sat on the sofa with a cold face, staring at Jay Chou's face on the TV screen, still reviewing the situation in his mind.
It must have been because of the alcohol and slow reaction time that he failed to rush to shake Chen Jingshen off before he could retract his hand.
Wang Luan booked the box late and only got the middle box. People on the sofa were sitting next to each other, and there were five or six guys standing around as the atmosphere team.
The girl sitting on Yu Fan's left was wearing a short skirt, so to avoid accidentally touching her, he could only lean a little to the other side.
Not knowing how many times she bumped into something behind her, Yu Fan couldn't stand it any longer and poked the person next to her with her elbow, "Why did you bring your book bag here?"
"Just went to the library." Chen Jingshen picks up the bag, puts it on his lap and holds it with one hand, "Is this better?"
"......"
Yu Fan expressionlessly picked up his school bag with one hand and put it on the counter behind the sofa.
Then proceeded to sit up straight and stare at Jay.
After losing another game of dice, Wang Luan cursed and drank the wine in one gulp, then put down the glass and turned around: "Welcome, School Master. What song do you like to sing? I'll go and order it for you."
"No," Chen Jingshen handed him what he had just taken out of his book bag, "Happy Birthday."
"Holy shit, there's a gift? Thank you for learning ...... what is this?" Wang Luan looked at the contents of the bag, and froze.
"Question bank." Chen Jingshen leaned back on the sofa, "After you finish the previous ones, you can move on to the next ones."
Yu Fan: "......"
Wang Luan : "...... Thank you, I love it."
The compartment door was pushed open and another girl entered.
Seeing the crowded couch, the girl stood in the doorway, a little constricted for a moment.
Wang Luan immediately stood up and commanded, "Brothers over there, move over to the jukebox and make room for my good sisters."
Zuo Kuan, holding a glass of wine, was squeezed out of temper, "How many people did you invite?"
Wang Luan hemmed and hawed, "Didn't I think I could get the big box?"
The other girl on the couch subconsciously glanced at the person next to her. Yu Fan was looking down at her cell phone, and there was a small gap between them.
Every now and then the light swept over the boy's cold, diffident brow, and she blushed at the sight.
Halfway through, she couldn't help but whisper, "Actually, you can sit over a little more, there's still room here."
Yu Fan shook his head, "No, no ......"
"Hokage, can you still go sit at Yu Fan's place?" Wang Luan asked on the other end.
"Uh-huh."
With a deep thud, Yu Fan felt Chen Jingshen lean a little toward him.
He suddenly went silent and the girl froze, "Huh?"
Yu Fan squeezed his cell phone and finished his sentence stiffly, "It's not crowded."
He wanted to move his legs, but there was really no place to do so. He could only stiffly stick together with Chen Jingshen.
"Come on, School Master, I have to toast to you, thank you for your wise teachings and unrelenting love for me these days-" Wang Luan paused after saying this, "By the way, School Master, can you drink? How about I pour you a glass of watermelon juice."
"Can."
Not wanting to spoil the birthday boy's fun, Chen Jingshen took a glass of wine from the table that no one had ever drunk before, clinked it lightly with him, and drank it up.
"Hiss." Zhang Xianjing propped his chin up to watch from afar and couldn't help but whisper, "How can Chen Jingshen be so handsome when he drinks?"
Zuo Kuan had a sharp ear and heard, "What's so cool about it?"
"The neck and the larynx - you wouldn't understand if I told you, don't ask."
"......" Shit.
Wang Luan didn't expect him to take a sip, and couldn't help but look at him with wide eyes: "It's okay, School Master, after drinking this glass of wine, we'll be real buddies now. I'll cover you in school from now on, and if anything happens, just look for me and Yu Fan--"
"Leave me out of this." The other party spoke coldly.
"You're listening, huh? I thought you were concentrating on your cell phone."
Yu Fan didn't raise his head, "You can be heard in the next box."
"Wang Luan, are you still playing?" On the other end, Zuo Kuan, who had been waiting for half a day with the dice cup, urged him with wrinkled eyebrows.
The boys who had been playing earlier had called a truce, Zhang Xianjing was waiting for her song with a microphone, and now it was just the two of them duking it out at the top of the Forbidden City.
Wang Luan: "Have some fun, I will drink you down tonight! Come on!"
"Wait," Zuo Kuan paused, "two shakes are no fun, call a couple more."
"There's no one left."
"Aren't there a couple other guys over there? Grab any of them." Zuo Kuan raised his chin toward the jukebox.
"Forget it, there's no more seats on this side."
"Wouldn't it be nice to find a non-dice player to switch places with?"
After Zuo Kuan finished speaking, his eyes drifted straight to Chen Jingshen.
"Schoolboy," he said with a little smile, "do you play craps? Switch places with my friend if you don't play? It's easier that way."
Wang Luan thinks it's okay that Chen Jingshen doesn't necessarily feel comfortable sitting here, as he's surrounded by people from the school.
"That schoolboy, how about you ......" Wang Luan was dumbfounded as soon as he turned around.
Only to see Chen Jingshen reach out, hooked an unused dice cup from the table, pinched and weighed it in his hand, raised his eyes and faintly said, "Play. How to play?"
"Schoolboy, don't play with them. They are all veterans, you can't play with them." Zhang Xianjing advised.
"Hey, don't you discourage the schoolboy's enthusiasm for the game." Zuo Kuan's eyes turned, thought of something, and said, "How about this, I have a deck of Dare Solitaire here, if you lose, you can choose between drinking and Dare, how about it?"
A deck of cards was thrown on the table.
Chen Jingshen didn't look away and nodded, "Okay."
Yu Fan was in the middle of a battle with another one of the game's best snakes when he heard a "pop" next to him, and his hand shifted and was eaten.
He looked up in displeasure, and saw Zuo Kuan slamming the dice cup on the table, grinning arrogantly, and looking right at his side: "Hahahahaha! Panther! Drink for me!!!"
Yu Fan wrinkled his eyebrows and was about to ask who the hell you're cross with.
He saw the man beside him raise his hand and take a poured glass of wine from the table.
Wang Luan couldn't stand it anymore: "Schoolboy, can you still drink? Why don't you choose Dare? I've played this deck of cards before, and it's not much of a death sentence. Really, the worst you'll get is to get into the next box and sing Tibetan Plateau and take your curtain call - no big deal."
Zhang Xianjing: "......"
"It's okay." Under the dim light, Chen Jingshen's face was expressionless and looked normal.
Yu Fan wouldn't have been able to tell there was anything wrong with the man if he hadn't staggered and bumped his shoulder three times in the course of his drinking.
"Yes, that's good." Zuo Kuan says, "Shall we continue?"
Wang Luan immediately said, "I'm not playing."
Chen Jingshen: "I'll continue."
Wang Luan: "......"
The situation somehow turned into a two-man match between Chen Jingshen and Zuo Kuan.
Yu Fan put down his cell phone and watched Chen Jingshen shake the dice without moving.
Chen Jingshen gathers his fingers around the dice cup, shakes it a few times in a loose manner, and then gently lifts it up.
Nice guy, five dice each long, not a single duplicate.
Yu Fan instantly realized that with Chen Jingshen's luck, it wouldn't be strange to lose all night--
Chen Jingshen's mouth opened and he said, "Five fours."
Yu Fan: "?"
Do you have a fucking 4?
Before Yu Fan could come back to his senses, Chen Jingshen had already picked up his glass of wine and drank it.
In the next game, Chen Jingshen shook a hand of Leopard 6.
Yu Fan thought, "Okay, you're gonna have to call me on this one, and you're gonna have to call me on this one, and you're gonna have to call me on this one.
Zuo Kuan: "Six sixes."
Chen Jingshen: "Open."
Yu Fan: "????"
After a few innings, Yu Fan saw the light.
Chen Jingshen isn't unlucky, he's just plain dumb and can't play.
But ...... they have met those who won't play at the table before and either don't play or let it go.
But he watched as Chen Jingshen continued to drink from glass to glass without stopping.
Noticing the eyes of the people around him, Chen Jingshen picked up the dice cup and casually said, "Four ones."
"Open!" Zuo Kuan exclaimed, "I don't have one! Drink!"
Chen Jingshen picked up his wine glass and drank it up, then lowered his head and coughed very softly twice.
Zuo Kuan: "Continue?"
"Uh-huh."
Chen Jingshen just shook the dice and the dice cup was snatched away.
Immediately afterward, he felt the person next to him shift his position and lean toward him.
"Splat."
Yu Fan half leaned over and covered the dice cup on the wine table.
He looked at Zuo Kuan with an expressionless face : "You like to play, don't you? I'll play with you."
Zuo Kuan said, "Don't, I just want to play with the school bully."
"You're a wimp." Zhang Xianjing crossed his legs and said, "I think you just don't dare to shake Yu Fan."
"Bullshit!" Zuo Kuan wrinkled his eyebrows, "I'm about to drink you schoolboys down, so what's the point of suddenly switching?"
Yu Fan nods, "Then don't even fucking play ......"
"I drink." Chen Jingshen suddenly said.
Everyone turned to look at him.
"I'll drink if he loses." Chen Jingshen faintly said, "Is this okay?"
"Come on!" Zuo Kuan rolled up his sleeves and got up from the couch, "I'm going to damn well dunk one of you guys in Class 7 today-"
Ten minutes later.
Zuo Kuan covered his stomach and wanted to vomit.
Yu Fan lifts up the dice cup, revealing the number of points inside.
"Okay!" Wang Luan was so happy that he hurriedly filled Zuo Kuan's glass with wine, "Congratulations, sir, have another drink!"
Yu Fan hasn't lost a single game in these ten minutes.
Zuo Kuan is actually very good at table games, and what points he has on his hands are almost always written on his face, so only a rookie like Chen Jingshen would get poured into him like this.
While Zuo Kuan was drinking, Yu Fan couldn't help but glance over at the rookie.
Then realized the rookie had been watching him too.
Chen Jingshen leaned back against the sofa, his features were hidden in the dimness, and his alcoholic eyes were dark and heavy, staring laxly at the same place.
He only looked, but didn't say anything. Yu Fan somewhat suspected that he was intoxicated.
With a thud, Zuo Kuan put his empty glass on the table and with a wipe of his mouth said, "Come on! Go on!"
Yu Fan returned to his senses and turned his head to continue shaking the sieve.
Wang Luan doesn't want to see this bloody struggle and has gone off to sing by now.
Zhang Xianjing sat down smoothly next to Chen Jingshen.
Taking advantage of the fact that several boys around her were focused on watching the shaking screen, she leaned to the side and pinched her throat and said gently, "Schoolboy, if you're really having a hard time, why don't the two of us go first-"
Before she finished speaking, Chen Jingshen had already pulled away from her without moving and said quickly and coldly, "Thank you, no."
Zuo Kuan glanced at his points, smiled wildly, capped it and shouted, "Six ones!"
Yu Fan opened the dice cup and took a look. He's got a lousy game, a straight, counting 0 points.
But looking at Zuo Kuan's face, I don't need to guess that he shook a Leopard 1.
If he opens, he will lose. If he yells up, Zuo Kuan will probably open him and lose.
Yu Fan took a gamble: "Follow one."
Sure enough, Zuo Kuan didn't think twice: "Go!"
Losing a game doesn't hurt. Yu Fan picked up the wine on the table and prepared to drink it.
The wine was just about to enter his mouth when his wrist was grabbed.
Chen Jingshen sat up and whispered, "I'll drink."
Zuo Kuan lost stupidly, then came back to his senses: "Hey, right. Did not say that you lost the school bully drink it? Don t play bad -- right school bully, on behalf of the wine to drink two cups, you this on behalf of the shake ...... how to have two cups, right?"
Chen Jingshen said, "OK."
Chen Jingshen hit Yu Fan four or five times in the process of taking the glass, and when he saw that he was about to touch the glass, he was pulled by his clothes.
"No drink, pick the adventure card." Yu Fan grabbed his sleeve, "You can still drink with this virtue? Give me the adventure."
Chen Jingshen : "......"
Zuo Kuan: "?"
Zuo Kuan : "It can still be like this--"
"Of course, didn't we agree beforehand?" Wang Luan didn't even sing anymore, and came back to sharply unwrap the cards, spreading them out and laying them on the table, "Schoolboy, come on, come on, you pick one."
Chen Jingshen was silent for several seconds before reaching out to touch the cards on the table.
With a pick and a lift, the card nearest him was turned over, and on it was drawn a little pouting figure, with a line of small letters underneath it-
"Kissing someone close to you."
The box was instantly quiet as if Hu Pang was there.
Me, grass!
In the next second, almost everyone in the room looked at Chen Jingshen - and Zhang Xianjing beside him.
Zuo Kuan was ashen, wondering what the point of holding on for so long was.
Zhang Xianjing heart Worri heaven help me also this are hot kisses the school bully no reason not to help me get through the midterm exams it and then logically fall in love is not impossible ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!
Yu Fan thought--
He didn't have a fucking second to think.
In full view of everyone, Chen Jingshen loosened his fingers and placed the card securely on the wine table.
He leaned back, the knot in his throat rolling very lightly.
Then with a heavy, silent inclination of the head to his side--the
Yu Fan: "?"
Try looking at me again?
