◇ 【093】Interception
The banquet ended around 2:00 PM, but the young people's show wasn't over yet. Zhang Muheng, Han Lin, and Li Ruicheng drove Gu Juan, Xi Lang, Zhang Cong, and Liu Guang to the club, all planning to keep the party going past midnight so Xi Lang wouldn't have any meat on his wedding night.
How could Gu Juan and Xi Lang not guess what they were thinking, but both of them were in a very good mood today. Besides, it was rare for so many friends to be together, so they indulged a few of their friends.
After partying at the club until around five in the afternoon, they went to the hotel for dinner. After dinner, Gu Juan and Xi Lang were dragged to the bar and booked a luxurious private room.
In the past, Zhang Muheng and his friends would have had to invite a few beauties to accompany them for drinking, but today was Gu Juan and Xi Lang’s wedding, so it was inappropriate.
Xi Lang took Gu Juan by the hand and sat down on the double sofa, whispering in his ear, acting like he was content with having a wife. Zhang Muheng, Han Lin and Li Ruicheng were very displeased with this.
Zhang Muheng winked at Li Ruicheng and Han Lin.
Li Ruicheng rolled up his sleeves and squeezed in to sit on the other side of Gu Juan. "How about some warm-up exercises first?"
Han Lin pressed the pager and ordered wine and snacks first. He ordered several kinds of wine, including beer, wine, foreign liquor and cocktails. It was obvious that they really did not intend to let Gu Juan and Xi Lang go easily.
Zhang Muheng, Han Lin and Li Ruicheng were all humble people. Liu Hui, Liu Guang and Zhang Cong could chat with them, but they didn't have the courage to join in making things difficult for Xi Lang. However, they all wanted to watch the fun.
Xi Lang glanced at Li Ruicheng and asked Gu Juan, "Are you tired?" Although they were both cultivators, they had been busy recently. They didn't sleep well last night and had been busy all day today, so they were still a little tired.
Gu Juan shook his head and asked Li Ruicheng, "Brother Li, how do we warm up?"
Li Ruicheng glanced at Xi Lang and said, "Little Gu is the best."
"Come on. It seems that the envy and jealousy in your hearts cannot be relieved unless you vent them." Xi Lang also rolled up his sleeves, but unlike Li Ruicheng's carefree attitude, his action of rolling up his sleeves exuded elegance no matter how you looked at it, which made Gu Juan feel pleasing to the eye.
Zhang Muheng, Han Lin and Li Ruicheng were speechless when their thoughts were exposed.
Gu Juan was a little puzzled. Zhang Muheng and Li Ruicheng didn't have steady girlfriends, but Han Lin did, and they were said to be very close. There was no need to envy him and Xi Lang. Furthermore, Han Lin didn't bring his girlfriend with him to his wedding this time.
He communicated with Xi Lang via telepathy.
Xi Lang replied, "Linzi is acting a little strange today. I'll find a chance to ask him later."
Zhang Muheng handed Gu Juan and Xi Lang a beer each, "One goes first."
Gu Juan and Xi Lang smiled at each other, clinked their beer bottles together, and drank them all in one gulp.
Everyone shouted, "Good!"
"Let's start with the formal warm-up?" Zhang Muheng asked.
Gu Juan and Xi Lang glanced at him at the same time. So the bottle he just drank didn't count at all?
Zhang Muheng pretended not to see anything and only looked at Li Ruicheng, Han Lin, and Liu Hui. However, he knew that Liu Hui and the other two would definitely not dare to flood Xi Lang, so he didn't count on them.
"When it comes to fun and excitement, it has to be Truth or Dare!" Han Lin smiled maliciously at Gu Juan and Xi Lang.
Gu Juan and Xi Lang's hearts skipped a beat at the same time.
Han Lin and the other two laughed sinisterly.
Li Ruicheng picked up the empty beer bottle that Gu Juan had drunk. "Just spin this beer bottle. Whoever the bottle mouth points to will be lucky. How about that?"
Gu Juan and Xi Lang were relieved. With their abilities, they could easily point the bottle at whoever they wanted. But neither of them showed any emotion, even pretending to be nervous.
Han Lin and the other two all looked very proud.
"Can you please move aside?" Xi Lang urged Li Ruicheng.
Li Ruicheng obediently changed his seat. Although he was still next to Gu Juan, at least they were not sharing the same sofa.
Li Ruicheng said, "Shall we take turns spinning the bottle according to age?"
Zhang Muheng gave him a glare.
Li Ruicheng was helpless. This time he had no intention of provoking Mu Heng. "How about we go by height?"
Zhang Muheng slapped him, "Let's go by age." Their seating arrangement was this: he, Liu Hui, Zhang Cong, Liu Guang, Li Ruicheng, Gu Juan, Xi Lang, and Han Lin, forming a circle. He, Xi Lang, and Gu Juan weren't far away, so he felt confident that the bottle would face them, so he wanted to be the first to spin it.
Gu Juan and Xi Lang nodded indifferently.
I don’t know if these two people were intentionally provoking others. They each held a glass of wine and took a sip from time to time.
Zhang Muheng placed the wine bottle horizontally on the coffee table and applied light pressure with his fingers.
His force was light, and the bottle spun slowly. Gu Juan didn't want the bottle to point too quickly at Zhang Muheng, as that would be too suspicious, so he focused on Li Ruicheng, who was standing next to him. With just a slight movement of his finger, the bottle slowly spun, accurately pointing at Li Ruicheng.
"Ah..." Han Lin, Liu Hui and the others all made regretful sounds.
Li Ruicheng crossed his legs calmly. He and Zhang Muheng were allies, and Zhang Muheng would not make things difficult for him.
Zhang Muheng asked, "Truth or Dare?"
Li Ruicheng said without hesitation, "The truth."
Zhang Muheng asked, "At what age did you lose your virginity?"
"Puff--" Li Ruicheng sprayed out the wine he had just put into his mouth, and stared at Zhang Muheng with wide eyes.
Gu Juan shook his head secretly. Fortunately, he had a cheat device, otherwise, he and the old man would have no privacy when encountering such a problem.
Xi Lang said to him calmly, "I'm not surprised at all that Mu Heng would cheat Rui Cheng. Of the four of us, I've never actively cheated the other three, and they've cheated each other quite a few times."
"Really? Are you really that honest?" Gu Juan leaned against his shoulder and smiled at him with a teasing look in his eyes.
Xi Lang loved his energetic expression the most. He couldn't help but hold his chin and give him a quick kiss on the lips. He had been suppressing the rush of blood for a long time and was in danger of losing control. He felt that Zhang Muheng and the others were very annoying.
Gu Juan glared at him, but her posture next to him did not change at all.
The others noticed but could only pretend not to notice.
Zhang Muheng asked Li Ruicheng with a puzzled look on his face: "Is there any problem?"
"Okay, we'll see!" Li Ruicheng smiled helplessly and glanced at Han Lin. Han Lin knew how old he was when he lost his virginity. At this moment, he was not sure whether Han Lin would form an alliance with him. If he lied and Han Lin found out, Zhang Muheng would only make things worse for him. So he had no choice but to answer truthfully, "Fifteen years old."
Zhang Muheng, Liu Hui and others all made clicking sounds at the same time.
Even though Li Ruicheng was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but blush. "You'd better start praying that I won't get hurt!"
"Old man, it's your turn." Gu Juan said.
Xi Lang nodded and twirled the beer bottle casually.
The beer bottle spun around, making a slight friction sound against the coffee table, and the mouth of the bottle was aimed precisely at Zhang Muheng.
Zhang Muheng had thought about the possibility that he might be infected, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
"Truth or Dare?"
Xi Lang was a man of vengeance, and Zhang Muheng was a little intimidated. He feigned composure and said, "It's a big risk."
Xi Lang looked at him and smiled gently, "I'll give you one more chance. Are you sure you want to take the big risk?"
Gu Juan kindly suggested, "Brother Mu Heng, why don't you choose truth or dare? If you choose dare, maybe the old man will let you confess to the first stranger of the same sex who passes by our box door!"
Zhang Muheng's mouth twitched. Why did he feel that Xiao Gu had turned bad after hanging out with them for so long?
Han Lin and the others burst into laughter. Although their targets tonight were Gu Juan and Xi Lang, they would also be happy to see Zhang Muheng embarrassed!
Xi Lang had been holding Gu Juan's waist. Upon hearing this, he patted his buttocks helplessly. Who is this guy from the same country as?
"Then I'll choose to tell the truth." Zhang Muheng was really scared by Gu Juan. If it were in the past, he was sure Xi Lang wouldn't make things difficult for him like Gu Juan said, but now that Gu Juan was Xi Lang's wife, he might have accepted Gu Juan's "suggestion".
Xi Lang asked casually, "How many minutes did it take the first time?"
"Puff——" Han Lin and Li Ruicheng sprayed out wine at the same time.
"Cruel, very cruel!" Han Lin gave Xi Lang a thumbs up.
Zhang Muheng's face froze. Just as he opened his mouth, Xi Lang said, "When people lie, they usually show the following behaviors: dilated pupils, faster heartbeat, and eyeballs moving to the upper right—" The sooner it ended, the sooner they could go back to their own world. He had no intention of showing mercy to Zhang Muheng and the others.
"When did you start studying psychology?" Zhang Muheng said sarcastically, pretending to be indifferent. "About three minutes. Men's first time is never long. Who among you dares to say that your first time lasted eight or ten minutes? The books all say—"
Liu Hui, Zhang Cong and the others were all trying to hold back their laughter.
"Brother Mu Heng, no need to explain." Li Ruicheng almost laughed out loud, "Could it be that you looked up a book or consulted a doctor about this not long after your first time?"
Zhang Muheng straightened his clothes and said with a haughty attitude, "If you have the guts, turn the bottle over to me before asking this question."
Li Ruicheng was speechless.
"It's my turn!" Han Lin rubbed his hands, held the wine bottle, estimated the distance between him and Xi Lang and Gu Juan before turning the bottle.
Unfortunately, after the bottle mouth was aimed at Xi Lang and Gu Juan, it slowly continued to turn and aimed at Li Ruicheng.
"I choose dare. Linzi, we have always been a team of two." Li Ruicheng hinted.
Han Lin said, "Count from one to ten."
Except for Li Ruicheng, everyone was speechless. Was this considered a big adventure?
Li Ruicheng laughed proudly a few times and counted to ten smoothly.
Next came Li Ruicheng and Liu Hui, but neither of them could trick Gu Juan and Xi Lang.
When it was Gu Juan's turn, Zhang Muheng and the others were all very nervous. Gu Juan was very skilled, and people like him usually had good accuracy.
Xi Lang said to Gu Juan without hesitation, "Xiao Juan, Han Lin, Liu Hui and the others come next to each other."
Han Lin raised his eyebrows. "Oh, so confident? I think we should add a new rule. The bottle must be rotated at least twice, otherwise it doesn't count."
"Yes! Let's vote, the minority shall obey the majority!" Li Ruicheng added quickly.
Zhang Muheng, Liu Hui and others immediately agreed.
Gu Juan said dissatisfiedly, "Isn't it unfair that new rules are added when it's my turn to spin the bottle?"
"Luck is also part of strength." Zhang Muheng said righteously.
Gu Juan had no choice but to say, "Okay. Come on, I'll just spin it randomly." After saying that, he exerted force and the wine bottle spun on the coffee table at a very fast speed.
Zhang Muheng and the others breathed a sigh of relief. There were eight of them in total, so the probability of each person being infected was one in eight, which was much smaller.
After about ten seconds, the bottle stopped and the mouth of the bottle faced Han Lin.
Han Lin looked at Gu Juan in surprise. Was it just a coincidence?
"Brother Han, truth or dare?" Gu Juan smiled harmlessly.
Xi Lang said, "Choose the truth. Xiaojuan won't make things difficult for you."
Han Lin did not forget what Gu Juan said about confessing to the same sex, but he was more afraid that he would ask the same question as Xi Lang. He didn't want to be laughed at, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Dare." He regretted playing this game.
Zhang Muheng and Li Ruicheng were both worried about him.
Gu Juan said, "Then open the door of the box and greet the first stranger who passes by..."
Han Lin picked up the wine glass and drank a glass of wine to give himself courage.
"The man asked him if he had a date tonight."
Xi Lang chuckled, Xiaojuan still showed mercy.
Han Lin breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and opened the door, completing the task easily. Although this question was also ambiguous, it was at least better than confessing.
The game continued, and after three rounds, everyone else fell victim, with the exception of Gu Juan and Xi Lang. Even if Han Lin and the others didn't believe in superstition, they knew they couldn't possibly defeat Gu Juan and Xi Lang through this game, so they switched to a drinking contest. Gu Juan and Xi Lang's escape made them more determined, determined to make it past midnight. However, when all six of them were drunk and only Gu Juan and Xi Lang remained clear, they had to admit defeat again.
"I don't want to drink anymore, I don't want to drink anymore..." Li Ruicheng rolled on the sofa with his head in his hands.
Xi Lang asked, "Have you all given up?"
Han Lin, Zhang Muheng and the others were not completely confused yet and nodded resignedly.
Zhang Muheng was still stubborn, "Since you're newly married, I'll let you go."
Gu Juan smiled and took out a bottle of hangover pills and put one in each person's mouth.
About two minutes later, everyone woke up.
"Where did you buy the hangover pills? They are so effective?" Zhang Cong asked in surprise.
Zhang Muheng looked at Gu Juan and Xi Lang, "I also want to ask, this is a good thing for us businessmen."
"I'll prepare a bottle for each of you when we get back." Gu Juan said generously.
Han Lin was a little confused. "So you made it yourself. The hangover pills on the market today can only relieve the discomfort after drinking, but they can't eliminate the damage alcohol does to organs like the liver and stomach. I've taken hangover pills before, and they always had a strange taste, but the one I just took had no taste, and after taking it, my stomach felt very comfortable. I remember Hongtu has a winery under its umbrella, so why don't they mass-produce it?"
Gu Juan said: "The old man and I do have this plan, but we don't have time to start yet."
Xi Lang looked at Han Lin and asked, "I've been wanting to ask you, is there anything going on recently?"
Han Lin unconsciously picked up the bottle and took another sip, then asked nonchalantly, "What's the matter?"
Li Ruicheng asked, "Xi Lang and Xiao Gu are getting married. Why didn't you bring your girlfriend with you?"
After all, they were good friends, and they both noticed Han Lin's abnormality.
Han Lin said calmly, "We broke up."
"Why?" Li Ruicheng asked curiously, "I remember you two had a very good relationship, and you even said before that you would consider proposing to her."
Han Lin had no intention of hiding anything and said with emotion, "Because I'm rich, Keke used to ask me to buy this and that. I thought it was normal and didn't matter, as long as she liked it. But now, I suddenly feel bored. I envy Xiao Gu and Xi Lang very much, and I also want to try to see if I can find such a pure relationship."
Xi Lang and the others were relieved, thinking that as long as Han Lin could think positively, there would be no problem.
Xi Lang looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "It's getting late, let's go back."
We've had our fun, and everyone has no objections.
Zhang Muheng paid the bill, and they all went out together and walked towards the parking lot.
A group of people with their faces covered and holding iron bars appeared on the opposite side and walked straight towards them.
Gu Juan raised the corner of his mouth in interest and stopped.
Only one update today. Good evening. Thank you for your concern.
