Lin Xirui angrily shot him a glare: "As the boss, have you been playing any shady games with anyone?"
Zhang Jingdong stared back at her fiercely: "Classmate Lin Xirui, you’ve been watching too many TV dramas, haven’t you? If there’s a female employee, you think I, as the boss, play around with them? With so many female employees in the company, do you think I could handle that?"
"Besides, Sister Rui, it seems like you’ve signed a contract with my entertainment company too. Have I played any shady games with you?"
Lin Xirui was immediately choked by Zhang Jingdong’s retort!
She was stunned for a full five seconds before glaring at Zhang Jingdong: "In your dreams!"
Watching her reaction, Zhang Jingdong really wanted to give her a forceful kiss, but unfortunately, Lin Xiran was right there.
However, his mind quickly came up with a way to get Lin Xiran out of the way.
He then said: "You’ve been watching the program for quite a while, how about we play the classic dice cup game from the bars?"
Lin Xiran thought Zhang Jingdong was trying to lighten the mood after the argument with Lin Xirui, so she eagerly said: "Sure! How do you play?"
Zhang Jingdong immediately called over a waiter: "Please bring a dice cup."
"Of course, just a moment..."
Soon after, Zhang Jingdong took the dice cup from the waiter and then explained: "The game is very simple. There are two dice inside. You two will take turns rolling the dice. I’ll guess if it’s big or small. If the sum of the two dice is 6 or less, that’s small; if it’s more than 6, that’s big."
"The punishment is Truth or Dare. If I guess wrong and choose Truth, you can ask me a question which I must answer honestly."
"If I choose Dare, then you can dare me to do something which I must also do."
"If I guess right, then the same punishments apply to you two. Got it?"
Lin Xiran immediately got excited: "This game sounds thrilling and fun!"
Then she looked at Lin Xirui: "Sister, let’s play together, it’ll be interesting!"
And Zhang Jingdong also egged her on: "Sister Rui, you’re not too scared of being punished to play, are you?"
Although Lin Xirui herself was somewhat eager to try, mainly because she wanted to properly punish Zhang Jingdong through the game.
After all, this guy had been drinking with other women in front of her and Lin Xiran tonight, and then he had teased her!
Seeing the two of them so inviting, especially with Zhang Jingdong’s provocation, she pursed her lips: "You’re the one who’s scared. Bring it on!"
Seeing that the two had taken the bait, Zhang Jingdong passed the dice cup to Lin Xiran: "Dear, you go first!"
At the same time, a thought crossed his mind: "I want to draw a prize!"
"The Host has accumulated 170 points of goodwill from the target person, meeting the condition for a prize draw, you may draw a prize!"
"Does the Host want to initiate the prize draw?"
"Prize draw initiating..."
"Prize one: The ability to carry a ton."
"Prize two: Ye Han’s gambling skills."
"Prize three: John Watson’s psychological abilities."
"The Host can only choose one out of three!"
"I choose prize two!"
"The prize has been exchanged, the Host still has four prize draw opportunities, will you continue to draw?"
At this point, Lin Xiran took the dice cup handed over by Zhang Jingdong, glanced at the device, shook the dice cup forcefully on the table for a few seconds, then covered it with both hands, saying with anticipation: "Darling, take a guess..."
Zhang Jingdong pretended to think for a moment, then said: "You must have rolled... small!"
As soon as these words were uttered, Lin Xiran and Lin Xirui immediately leaned in to look at the dice cup.
Then, Lin Xiran carefully opened the dice cup, revealing the dice inside showing a 5 and a 6.
Both of them immediately cheered!
"Dear, sorry, you lost!"
"Girl, quick, punish him!"
Zhang Jingdong touched his nose, pretending to be annoyed: "Tsk tsk, that shouldn’t have happened. Seems like it’s been too long since I last played, a bit rusty!"
Lin Xirui took the chance to mock him: "Don’t even. This is all about luck, how could you possibly ’train’ for it!"
Zhang Jingdong sighed and said: "Alright, I lost, I choose... truth. Ask away."
Lin Xirui initially wanted to suggest something to Lin Xiran, but then thought it might be inappropriate, and besides, it would soon be her turn, so there was no hurry to tease him.
Lin Xiran thought for a moment, then asked, "Who’s your favorite celebrity?"
Lin Xirui immediately interjected: "Hey... Sis, although you’re close to him, you can’t go easy on him ! Otherwise, how are we supposed to keep playing?"
"Listen to your sister, ask something tough, it’s fine, I can let you know anything!"
Lin Xiran had to think again, then said: "Then... what is the most embarrassing thing that happened to you as a child?"
Zhang Jingdong didn’t even think before answering: "When I was in first grade, I think it was the first semester, I remember that one afternoon my mom brought back a lot of cherries she picked from the mountains, and I thought they were particularly delicious, so I ate a lot."
"After eating lunch, I went to school. I didn’t feel anything wrong all the way there, but when I reached the school gate, I suddenly felt a stomachache, and that sensation quickly became unbearably strong. Our school’s restroom is less than 30 meters from the gate, but sadly, I didn’t make it..."
"And then that day, I accomplished the first truancy of my academic life..."
Lin Xiran and the others almost couldn’t hold it in halfway through his story, and when Zhang Jingdong finished, they burst into laughter.
Lin Xiran was still trying to contain herself, but Lin Xirui practically roared with laughter, seizing the moment to tease him: "Boss Zhang, I wouldn’t have thought such a domineering person like you would have such a glorious tale to tell, tsk tsk, this game really is fun!"
Lin Xirui took over the shaker, vigorously shaking it for a full ten seconds before stopping.
She looked up at Zhang Jingdong: "Guess!"
Zhang Jingdong felt amused: "I just guessed ’small’ and was wrong, so this time I’ll... still go with ’small.’ I refuse to believe it!"
Lin Xirui, cautious yet full of anticipation, slowly lifted the shaker.
Then, they saw one of the dice showing a 1, and the other a 2.
Lin Xirui’s eyes dimmed: "This... is really annoying, why won’t you two listen?"
Zhang Jingdong immediately laughed: "Did you think they were your pets? Come on, choose, truth or dare?"
"Do you have someone you like right now?"
Lin Xirui obviously didn’t expect Zhang Jingdong to be so daring, she instinctively glanced at Lin Xiran and then glared fiercely at Zhang Jingdong.
At this moment, Lin Xiran glanced at Lin Xirui but didn’t pursue the matter.
After that, the three of them played several more rounds, with Zhang Jingdong deliberately losing a few times, and also winning twice.
Then, this time Zhang Jingdong made Lin Xiran lose.
Just as Lin Xiran was about to continue with truth, Zhang Jingdong said: "Are you daring enough to take on a challenge, choose dare?"
Lin Xiran hesitated slightly, then nodded: "Alright."
Zhang Jingdong seized the opportunity to say: "Xiao Fei should still be backstage. You go with Long Yue now to get her autograph."
A hint of nervousness flashed in Lin Xiran’s eyes, but there was also a bit of anticipation.
Finally, she steeled her heart: "Okay, I’ll do it!"
Lin Xiran said and got up, following Long Yue downstairs.
Lin Xirui watched Lin Xiran’s figure intently, suddenly feeling a sense of foreboding, but it was already too late.
Zhang Jingdong wrapped his arm around her shoulders and kissed her straight on.
