Everyone continued playing finger-guessing games and shaking dice cups.
The fourth round finally ended, and Su Yang’s side lost again.
Seeing this, Qin Su nudged Su Yang, who was still holding Liu Wenjing’s hand, and whispered, “This round is over.”
“Yeah, I know.” Su Yang nodded and used his other hand to pick up the full glass of wine and down it in one go.
Qin Su frowned slightly and thought to herself, ‘Then let go! If you want to hold someone’s hand, you can hold mine!’
But of course, she couldn’t say that in front of everyone.
She coughed and glanced at Liu Wenjing to signal that the round had ended.
Liu Wenjing pretended not to notice and blinked innocently. “What’s wrong, Susu? Why do you keep winking at me?”
“Uh... nothing, it’s nothing.”
At that moment, Hong Ran pointed at the two of them and called out, “This round’s over. Hey, why are you two still holding hands?”
“Oh, sorry.” Su Yang genuinely hadn’t noticed—he’d just gotten used to it and hadn’t reacted in time. Only after hearing Hong Ran’s words did he let go.
“Haha, my bad.”
Liu Wenjing tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled. “No worries, I didn’t notice either.”
“Alright, let’s move on to the punishment. I’ve thought about it this time—you three have to drink a cross-armed “wedding wine” toast with each other, and then I’ll take photos and send them to you. You’ll each post them on your Moments for ten minutes, and they must be visible to everyone.”
“What?” Hearing this, the three of them instinctively turned their heads.
“What? Scared?” He Yuqing laughed while eating melon.
“No, I just didn’t expect we’d have to post on Moments. I’m not scared of that—I’m single, so what do I have to worry about? Bring it on.” Liu Wenjing said nonchalantly.
Qin Su had no problem with it either. Su Yang thought for a moment and said, “Sure.”
“Alright.”
The three of them poured their drinks. Su Yang first drank a cross-armed toast with Qin Su, then another with Liu Wenjing.
Afterwards, Qin Su and Liu Wenjing also drank one together.
It took less than thirty seconds to finish. Liu Wenjing put down her glass. “Done.”
“Good. Now for the final step—posting to Moments. I’ve already sent the photos to each of you, three in total. Post them all at once.”
“No problem. A bet’s a bet.” Su Yang picked up his phone, downloaded the photos, and opened Moments to upload them.
These kinds of photos weren’t a big deal—you could tell at a glance it was just a game being played at a KTV.
Even if Pan Ning saw it, she wouldn’t care. Given her personality, she probably wouldn’t even ask, and as for everyone else, there was no need to worry.
The three of them each posted theirs, and Hong Ran and the others pulled out their phones to check.
“Mm! Nice, you all really posted them. I like playing with people who can take a loss. Delete them in ten minutes. Moving on.”
......
The fifth round ended, and Su Yang’s side lost again.
Truth be told, with both Su Yang and Liu Wenjing on the same side, they shouldn’t have kept losing.
But no matter what game they played, Liu Wenjing deliberately went easy, and Su Yang couldn’t guarantee he’d beat all four opponents every single time. Qin Su was a novice at games, while Hong Ran and He Yuqing on the other side were both pros, so losing was only natural.
This time, Liu Wenjing was asked to kiss Su Yang on the cheek.
To avoid the sight of it and save herself the jealousy, Qin Su went to the bathroom.
By the time she came out, the kiss was already done.
The games continued until 10:30, and then everyone paused to just drink and sing.
Time flew by, and before they knew it, it was midnight.
At that point, apart from Su Yang, Qin Su, Hong Ran, and Liu Wenjing—who all had good tolerance—the other three were already a little drunk.
But now was the peak of their drinking momentum, so Qin Su ordered another three cases of beer and opened them all.
[Ding, detected that the host is enjoying singing KTV with beautiful women and feeling great pleasure. Reward: 5 million.]
Pure drinking goes fast. Hong Ran and Liu Wenjing had a one-on-one duel for half an hour, neither willing to admit defeat.
By 2 AM, the three cases of beer were completely gone.
By then, Chen Yuxi and Lin Chuxia had already fallen asleep.
He Yuqing was faring slightly better—though she’d thrown up once midway, she’d held on and stayed awake.
Su Yang had also drunk quite a bit today, but he’d used a ten-minute cheat earlier, so he was only slightly tipsy. Qin Su, Hong Ran, and Liu Wenjing were all mildly drunk.
The beer was gone, the singing was done. Su Yang checked the time and said, “It’s 2 AM. Should we call it a night or keep going?”
“I think we’ve had enough. How about we head out? Yuxi and Chuxia are already asleep.” Qin Su said.
Hong Ran, who had wanted to keep playing a bit longer, nodded as well. “Fine. We said we’d drink until we’re drunk, but we can’t leave everyone completely wasted. Let’s go. We’ll hang out again next time.”
“Sounds good. I had a lot of fun today. Let’s meet up often when we’re free.” Liu Wenjing smiled.
“Definitely.”
Everyone grabbed their things and stood up. Su Yang walked over to Chen Yuxi and Lin Chuxia, patted each of them on the shoulder, and called out, “Yuxi! Chuxia, wake up.”
Hong Ran came over and helped call out too.
They had to call for about thirty seconds before the two finally opened their eyes reluctantly.
Chen Yuxi looked miserable. “Where are we?”
“She’s really drunk.” Hong Ran looked at Su Yang and said.
Su Yang shook his head. “I’ll take them home.”
“Okay, you know them better, so you handle it.”
“Yeah.” Su Yang pulled the two of them up. “We’re at the KTV. Drink some water to sober up a bit.”
After taking a few sips of water, they felt slightly better and barely managed to stand.
Su Yang supported Chen Yuxi, and Hong Ran supported Lin Chuxia.
They all headed out of the private room together.
Soon they reached the street outside the main entrance of the KTV.
He Yuqing hailed a cab and left on her own. Liu Wenjing had wanted to continue the night with Su Yang, but since he had to take Chen Yuxi and Lin Chuxia home, she couldn’t say much and left first.
After the two of them were gone, Hong Ran turned to Qin Su. “Susu, did you call a designated driver?”
Qin Su nodded. “Yeah.”
“Good, then I’ll catch a ride with you. Su Su, these two beauties are all yours—make sure you get them home safely.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not drunk.”
“Alright then. Oh, there’s a cab.” Hong Ran waved at the taxi coming down the road on the left.
The car quickly pulled up in front of them. Su Yang opened the rear door and lifted Chen Yuxi inside, and Hong Ran helped put Lin Chuxia in the back seat as well.
“Thanks, Ranran.”
“No need to be so formal. What are you going to do after?”
“After I drop them off, I’ll just find a hotel.”
“Okay, get in the car then.”
Su Yang nodded at the two women. “Text me when you get home.”
“Will do.”
“Alright, I’m off. Bye.”
“Su Yang~” Qin Su suddenly called out.
Su Yang turned around. “What’s up?”
“Uh... nothing. Just remember to text me if you need me to come along when checking out apartments.”
“Got it. I’m off.” He smiled and got into the front passenger seat.
The taxi slowly drove off into the distance.
Qin Su and Hong Ran stood by the street, waiting until the car disappeared before turning around.
“Susu, you’ve fallen for Su Yang, haven’t you?” Hong Ran suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Qin Su froze and shyly denied it. “What are you talking about, Sister Hong? There’s no such thing.”
“Oh, still not admitting it? It’s so obvious.”
“Is... is it that obvious?”
"Don't just talk about me—everyone here tonight should be able to tell."
"Oh, is it that obvious?"
"Haha, so you're admitting it?" Hong Ran said with a laugh.
Qin Su stopped playing coy. She gave a slight nod. "Mm..."
Hong Ran shook her head and smiled, then let out a sigh. "Actually, there's nothing embarrassing about liking someone. You're all young, it's completely normal. But there's something I still need to say to you."
"What is it?"
"What do you think of Su Yang as a person?"
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”

So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
