Chapter 206: Chapter 210: Enchantment (8)

The dice clattered crisply inside the covered bell, then with a sudden knock on the table, the bell was flipped open, revealing the number "6".

"6, let me count. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5—6!" Qin Xian theatrically counted heads, finally landing on Jian Anning! He smiled, "Well then, Miss Jian, do you choose truth or dare?"

A slight frown creased Jian Anning’s brow; she did not want to publicly reveal her personal issues and quite naturally chose "dare".

"Alright, dare it is," Qin Xian said with a smile, "Hmm, what should I choose for you? How about this, perform a love song duet with the person sitting in the direction above you."

A love song duet? With the person next to her? Yu Zexiao almost unbidden set down his glass and prepared to stand up, but Qin Xian feigned confusion, "No, no, Xingxing, not you. Going clockwise, the person above Miss Jian is this gentleman!"

As he spoke, he extended a long arm, pointing at—Lu Jiayuan, who was sitting on the other side of Jian Anning!

At this, Yu Zexiao’s face immediately darkened!

He had never imagined that Qin Xian, taking such a roundabout way, would actually pair Jian Anning with Lu Jiayuan! Others might not know, but wasn’t he aware? These two already knew each other! Especially now, with Lu Jiayuan always eyeing Jian Anning like a predator. How could he let Lu Jiayuan continue to get close to her?

Meanwhile, Lu Jiayuan’s eyes sparkled with a hint of surprise. He immediately stood up, "Anning, we’ve sung together before. I didn’t expect to have this opportunity again today."

"Oh? You know each other?" The people nearby were somewhat surprised.

"Yes," Lu Jiayuan nodded, his gaze fixed on her, "Anning and I both attended the University of Toronto. We’ve studied together, and we’ve also performed in an opera—"

As he spoke, his expression became even tenderer, igniting a fire in Yu Zexiao’s heart!

Amid the focused attention of the crowd, Jian Anning suddenly picked up her glass, "I could take three drinks as a penalty, right?"

At that, the joy on Lu Jiayuan’s face vanished without a trace!

She did not want to get entangled with Yu Zexiao, nor did she want to rekindle anything with Lu Jiayuan. Without another word, she grabbed the bottle, poured herself a drink, and tipped her head back to drink it down. A trickle of alcohol slid from the corner of her mouth down her slender neck, like willow fluff brushing across the surface of water.

After she finished her drink in one gulp, there was silence for a few seconds. Then, as she set down her glass, her lips, originally coated with glossy lip color, were moistened by the alcohol, looking as fresh and tempting as newly-blossomed cherry petals.

"Is that all right now?"

Caught by her serene gaze, Qin Xian froze for a moment before nodding. Jian Anning then started shaking the dice, and the others continued playing in an orderly fashion for a few more rounds.

This time, it was Jiang Xuanqi’s turn to roll the dice. She shook it, and it landed on "3"— once again, it was Jian Anning!

Great, a chance for revenge! She wore a smug smile on her face as she looked toward Jian Anning, her bright red lips forming a smile as she asked, "Assistant Jian, do you choose dare or truth?"

Heartfelt thanks to the generous patrons "Sis Si", "Antarctic Meimei", and "Baby Shou" for their rewards~
