Chapter 32 Violet "4108, wait for me."...
Someone at the table let out a "woo" sound, their laughter filled with schadenfreude, clearly showing their amusement.
Everyone who frequents Xu Xiyan's establishment knows his lewd tricks and also knows Ji Jiazhen's true identity. What ordinary people love to see most is a high-and-mighty beauty being played with.
Ji Jiazhen's chest heaved, her breathing remained steady, and her eyes held a calculating glint as she calmly looked at Xu Xiyan. She was now the prey forced onto the table, but she showed no sign of being at someone's mercy; her composed expression made it seem as if she were the true hunter.
Xu Xiyan smiled playfully, holding the extra cards in her hand, spreading them out like a fan between her fingers, and said to her, "Big star, pick one."
Ji Jiazhen wasn't one to follow rules. She ignored his tricks, crossed her arms, and leaned back on the sofa, unmoved. "I value efficiency. Just get to the point. Don't make a fuss."
The atmosphere became quite interesting; the two of them going head-to-head was quite a sight to behold.
The person next to me was beaming, his hand holding his phone hidden under the table, typing away furiously.
Xu Xiyan teased her, "You're a big celebrity, there are so many things I want to ask you, I don't know where to start, so I'm letting you choose."
Ji Jiazhen met his gaze, refusing to budge an inch, "I don't want to choose, let someone else choose."
Xu Xiyan said okay, and immediately put the cards in front of Jian Yi, "Perfect, aren't you two from different circles? You choose for her."
Jian Yi pursed her lips and looked at Ji Jiazhen, her expression showing some hesitation.
The moment she raised her hand, Ji Jiazhen spoke up: "Don't want her, find someone else."
Xu Xiyan's expression was subtle. He smiled and licked the corner of his lips, then turned to face the person closest to him.
Only then did Ji Jiazhen give Wen Siyu his second look of the night.
He looked at her, or rather, he kept looking at her.
Wen Siyu reached out, casually drew a card, and threw it on the table, keeping his eyes fixed on her the whole time.
Xu Xiyan looked at the cards and said with great regret, "Seven of Spades, a level three problem."
Someone was getting restless, and a cell phone peeked out from under the table.
Those who live under the spotlight are highly sensitive to these things. While everyone was anticipating Xu Xiyan's question, Ji Jiazhen reached out and snatched the phone from between the two people. Her long hair fell onto the arm and leg of the person next to her, and when she withdrew her hand, she left a scent of perfume in the air, causing the man sitting next to her to blush and feel a flutter in his heart.
Ji Jiazhen slowly checked the contents of her phone. The video was only twenty seconds long, and neither she nor her voice were captured. Wen Siyu's face flashed by in the video. She deleted the video, and after confirming that there was nothing else related to her on the phone, she placed the phone face down on the table. She didn't intend to return it, but instead said to the phone's owner, "Playing games, why are you distracted by your phone?"
The man didn't dare to breathe loudly and apologized with a forced smile.
She glanced lazily at Xu Xiyan, her voice tinged with impatience: "Ask away."
"Is there anyone at this table tonight who interests you?"
Ji Jiazhen couldn't help but sneer. This was the most idiotic question she had ever heard at the dinner table, the kind that's at a kindergarten level. It took her five minutes to finish such a question. The man surnamed Xu must be a real idiot.
"Yes, I have."
Xu Xiyan pressed on, "Who is it?"
Ji Jiazhen raised an eyebrow. "This is the second question."
Xu Xiyan stood up, accepted her answer, and continued spinning the wine bottle.
The bottle spun around on the table nearly ten times before returning to Ji Jiazhen.
A triumphant smile played on his eyes as he said, "Now you can answer."
Ji Jiazhen stared at the bottle opening pointing at her and gave a cold snort.
Therefore, Xu Xiyan is a master at this game. Once he gets the hang of it, he can point the bottle at anyone he wants to play with.
So from the moment the rules of the game were proposed, he was already working on her.
Ji Jiazhen didn't lose her temper for the time being, and instead honestly replied, "You."
The answer pleased Xu Xiyan, who took a cup from the wine meant for punishment and drank half of it in one gulp.
"Sister, the guy next to you is going to be heartbroken."
Ji Jiazhen glanced at the person next to her. He had been behaving himself and hadn't dared to make any big moves. The only thing he had said to her was his name.
What was it called again?
She didn't listen.
"I only care about whether you're happy or not."
This offhand, sweet-talking remark immediately stirred up the crowd at the table. It's true, Ji Jiazhen is amazing; even men who don't like her are captivated by her face, and with that beautiful sweet talk, it's a surefire way to win them over.
Suddenly, there was a loud crash, followed by the sound of glass shattering. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw broken wine bottles scattered all over the ground at Wen Siyu's feet.
Ji Jiazhen looked at him, while he lowered his eyes and replied nonchalantly, "My hand slipped."
Others thought it was just a minor incident, but only Ji Jiazhen could see the emotion in Wen Siyu's eyes.
She knows she'll still throw a tantrum sometimes.
*
It would have been too obvious to switch to Ji Jiazhen in all three rounds, so Xu Xiyan randomly switched to someone the third time and asked casual questions.
Then the second round of drawing cards.
Ji Jiazhen was observing Xu Xiyan's actions. He was an expert at spinning the wine bottle, so he must also have a knack for drawing cards. Xu Xiyan probably noticed her gaze and deliberately waited until everyone else had drawn their cards before taking the last one.
This time, luck was on our side.
The king is still him.
So, unsurprisingly, it was aimed at Ji Jiazhen.
The one who drew the cards was still Wen Siyu.
"The King of Hearts." Xu Xiyan paused, her eyes gleaming. "An 18-level question."
Ji Jiazhen held her chin up, her expression saying "I'm not afraid."
"I heard you like sleeping with virgins. Of all those virgins, whose experience is the best?"
When the topic of sex came up, the men at the table acted as if they were back on their own turf, and even those who had been too quiet to speak began to boast shamelessly.
...
"Young Master Xu, with so many younger sisters around, I dare not even listen to your questions."
"Holy crap, is this question level 18 or 18+?"
"How good can a virgin's experience be? Who among you didn't finish in one go the first time? Sister Zhen is busy filming, and she has to act in bed too. Acting out orgasms is so tiring. Why don't you try it with me? It'll be a hundred times better than anything you've experienced before."
"You're just using this opportunity to promote yourself. I'd rather work with me than with you. If you don't believe me, let's go to the bathroom and have a competition."
...
The foul language reached their ears, and someone reacted before Ji Jiazhen could.
The two people who said the last two sentences happened to be sitting together. Wen Siyu smashed a wine glass in their direction, emptying the wine inside before doing so.
—It all fell on Xu Xiyan.
"If you love to compete so much, just take your clothes off right here. I'll be your referee. Cut off the big one, and let the little one die. How about that?"
Then, pointing at Xu Xiyan, he said, "You wouldn't ask if you didn't make dirty jokes, would you?"
Ji Jiazhen didn't know what the relationship was between Wen Siyu and Xu Xiyan, but it was obvious that Xu Xiyan was afraid of him.
"Bro, it's just a game, why are you taking it so seriously?"
That's what he said, but he did indeed tone down his attitude.
Ji Jiazhen grabbed a bottle of wine, filled a glass to about eight-tenths full, glanced at Wen Siyu, then looked at Xu Xiyan, and said, "If you can't answer, I'll drink it."
She downed three glasses in one go. As she finished, a drop of wine rolled down her lower lip, ran down her chin, and dripped onto her collar, staining it a darker purple.
Wen Siyu's gaze fell on her, his expression unreadable.
But she quickly understood that his look meant he was annoyed by her decision to drink the penalty shot and was now challenging her.
Wen Siyu had no intention of participating in the game at first, so he never took it seriously and sat there like an outsider, drinking the punishment wine as if it were a beverage.
But if he wanted to, Xu Xiyan wouldn't be king.
Xu Xiyan learned these tricks from him.
Now he's going to immerse himself in the game.
Therefore, the king of the third round was Wen Siyu.
During the three opportunities to turn the bottle, he made no attempt to hide his feelings, turning to Ji Jiazhen each time and asking her questions that were imbued with strong personal emotions.
Have you ever fallen for someone?
Is there one man you can never forget among all those men?
What kind of interest is there in Xu Xiyan?
Anyone with eyes could see that there was something special about the magnetic field between them, but it was hard to tell whether it was good or bad. After all, Wen Siyu had previously spoken up for Ji Jiazhen, but now he was deliberately turning against her.
Ji Jiazhen answered "no" to the first two questions, but for the last one, he gave a meaningful smile, leaving the question "What do you think?" open to interpretation, and then said "Never mind, I'll accept the punishment" and drank three more glasses of wine.
The alcohol was strong, and after downing three glasses in one go, her face felt a little hot.
Wen Siyu could tell she was drunk and starting to feel tipsy, so he wouldn't let her go. A new round began, and he was the first to draw the King card. The bottle spun even harder, making a clattering sound as it hit the table. The outcome was the same; it all pointed to Ji Jiazhen.
He was up to no good, so he asked her what Euler's polyhedron theorem was, what chaos theory was, and what Fourier transform was.
The question was tricky; the goal was to get her to drink it.
Ji Jiazhen couldn't answer any of the questions, and was forced to drink one cup of penalty wine after another. He was indeed drunk, but not to a high degree. He was still conscious, but his actions were out of control, and his impulsiveness was rising.
People around them initially watched the spectacle with curiosity, thinking the two had a past, but then they sympathized with Ji Jiazhen, believing that something was definitely going on between them, most likely something that she had offended Wen Siyu.
When Ji Jiazhen drew her cards again, she was seething with anger. She suddenly stood up, drew the first card, and her action scattered the rest of the cards across the table. Wen Siyu watched her swaying figure and casually picked up one of the cards that had fallen into his hand.
Ji Jiazhen stood up too suddenly, causing her vision to go black. After sitting down, she supported her forehead with her hand and closed her eyes to calm herself down.
Everyone received their cards and examined them. They looked at each other and shook their heads, finally all turning their gazes toward the only person who hadn't yet turned over their card.
During this process, Ji Jiazhen almost recovered. She slowly opened her eyes, held the card between two fingers, and flipped it over.
My eyes went from half-closed to fully open, every pore on my body opened up, and my thoughts, which had been scattered by alcohol, were regrouped because of this card.
Finally, it was her turn to be the queen.
Unlike Wen Siyu and Xu Xiyan, she was the only one to be targeted.
At this table, there's one person who annoys her, one who made her drink too much, and one who asks her for something.
There are exactly three opportunities to spin the bottle.
She stood up, bracing herself against the table. Wearing high heels made it difficult, and she stumbled, her heels making a crisp sound on the floor. But she pushed away the hand of the person next to her who was helping her, grabbed the wine bottle with some force, and finally slammed it on the table with a "bang," the bottle opening pointing at Jian Yi.
The people at the table were somewhat bewildered. One of them asked in confusion, "Huh? No way, isn't it supposed to be done by rotating the bottle...?"
"Shut up."
Wen Siyu spoke coldly, interrupting the person and explaining her behavior to shut up the others.
"She's had too much to drink, let her be."
The phrase "drank too much" changed the rules of the game and justified her behavior.
Jian Yi was afraid.
The whole thing started because of her, and the game was started because of her. If she hadn't told Xu Xiyan that she hated Ji Jiazhen, Xu Xiyan wouldn't have dragged Ji Jiazhen into this prank game, Ji Jiazhen wouldn't have gotten drunk, and she wouldn't be staring at her with those sharp eyes at this moment.
She brought this situation upon herself.
Ji Jiazhen had no intention of giving Jian Yi any dignity at the end. From the start of the game until now, she had been treated like a grandson, while the culprit was sitting there unscathed.
That doesn't make sense.
Jian Yi was unkind first, so you can't blame her for being unjust.
She asked, "I heard you've been competing with Yu Xiangyi for the second female lead role in Director Xu's new movie. Are you here today because you know your chances are slim and you're trying to use your body to get the role by hooking up with his son?"
Jian Yi's face turned pale, and her nervousness gave her away. She couldn't deny it, nor could she admit it, so she could only drink.
Ji Jiazhen watched as she picked up the glass, then turned the bottle around with satisfaction, pointing the opening at Wen Siyu.
Before she could even ask, Wen Siyu had already poured twelve glasses of wine and neatly arranged them in front of her. He knew she would be angry that he had forced her to drink, so he prepared them in advance to return the favor with twelve glasses.
He looked directly into her eyes and gestured with his chin towards the bottles of wine.
Ji Jiazhen understood his meaning in a second, and said that it wasn't enough, so she picked up another bottle from the side and said, "Drink this one too."
Wen Siyu took it, opened the cap, and blew directly into the bottle while keeping his eyes fixed on her.
She looked at him, her face expressionless.
Only after he finished drinking did she shift the direction of the bottle and look at the last person.
Xu Xiyan.
She really wanted to yell "Go to hell!" at him, to call him a "stupid show-off," and to smash the bottle in her hand over his head and kill him.
But she still wanted to get Fang Wei's contact information from him, so she suppressed all her anger and said to him, "Upstairs, do you dare to come over?"
The hotel rooms are upstairs.
Xu Xiyan gave a meaningful smile and said, "4108, wait for me."
