Half an hour later.
The living room was filled with drunken laughter and noise, and the air was thick with the smell of alcohol.
The group had completely let loose.
"Chug, chug, chug!!"
Su Muwan staggered to her feet, grabbed a bottle of red wine, and took a few big gulps. After wiping her mouth, she pointed at the others with an excited look in her eyes and shouted, "Come on, let's keep playing Truth or Dare!!"
"Tonight... I'm definitely going to make Qin Luo spill everything!"
Su Bailian was swaying drunkenly but still managed to sit up straight. Her small face was flushed with alcohol as she slurred, "No problem! Truth or Dare, who's afraid of who?!"
"Su Muwan! Don't think you're so great just because you're the eldest daughter of the Su family!"
"I... I'll take over the Su family someday, wahhh!!!"
Hearing this, Su Muwan giggled and tugged on Qin Luo's arm, leaning close to his ear to mock, "Qin Luo~ Listen to her... she's daydreaming again... Hmm... even though it's nighttime now..."
As she spoke, her fingers twitched slightly.
The remaining cards on the table shuffled and rearranged themselves automatically.
Once done, Su Muwan sat back down, leaning on Qin Luo's shoulder. With one hand holding the wine bottle and the other controlling the cards with her qi, she cheerfully announced, "This time, we'll just draw cards! Let's see who has the best luck!"
"Ten pulls, three golds!!! Ten pulls, three golds!!!"
Zhu Lan had already passed out, lying on the floor and snoring loudly.
Yan Qiuyue, on the other hand, was giggling foolishly, "Hehe... sure... who's going first?"
Qin Luo, perhaps due to his pure-hearted nature or his stamina, was still relatively sober.
Or maybe it was because if he also passed out, there would be no one to keep things under control.
Gulp!
He couldn't help but swallow hard as he looked at the drunken Su Muwan.
This is bad.
Half an hour ago, Su Muwan's tipsy coquettish attack had caused him to temporarily lose his rationality.
And so... he had gone along with her antics.
Everyone had drunk quite a bit. Just look: Zhu Lan was out cold, Su Bailian and Yan Qiuyue were on the verge of passing out, and Su Muwan... had become even more peculiar.
Qin Luo felt that this couldn't go on any longer. He carefully suggested to Su Muwan, who was clinging to his arm, "Miss, it's getting late. Should we call it a night?"
"Huh?!"
As soon as he said this, Su Muwan's lips immediately turned downward. She furrowed her brows, lifted her head, and glared fiercely at Qin Luo. "What, what, what?!"
"You, a mere Qin Luo, can't handle it anymore?!"
"I... I'm telling you! If we don't finish playing tonight, you can forget about going to bed!!"
Su Muwan's drunken threat didn't have the intended effect. Instead, it made Qin Luo feel oddly refreshed inside.
Sigh... alright then...
Qin Luo looked at the remaining dozen or so cards. Let's just get this over with.
Seeing that Qin Luo had relented, Su Muwan nodded in satisfaction.
Her fingers twitched again as she slurred, "Qin Luo, you go first."
As she spoke, a Truth card flew toward him.
The question read:
【What did you have for dinner tonight?】
Qin Luo breathed a sigh of relief. The question was simple enough. Let's just wrap this up quickly.
However...
Su Muwan glanced at the card and immediately complained, "This isn't the one I wrote!"
She tossed the card to the floor and began rummaging through the deck.
Qin Luo: .....What did I just hear?
Finally, Su Muwan found a card with a question she liked and held it up.
She squinted at it and then read it aloud: "Answer whether you have someone you like!"
After saying this, Su Muwan stared intently at Qin Luo. It was unclear whether she was truly drunk or just pretending. She leaned forward, propping herself up on the couch, and blinked at Qin Luo. "Qin Luo, do you have someone you like?"
Su Bailian, giggling drunkenly, took a sip of red wine and chimed in, "Do you, do you? Qin Luo, tell us!"
Yan Qiuyue also clapped her hands, mumbling, "Qin... Qin Luo, don't you dare say the wrong thing..."
These girls were really drunk.
Qin Luo looked at the three of them and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Someone I like...
Qin Luo smiled wryly to himself. Well, that would be you, wouldn't it...
"Qin Luo, say something."
Seeing that Qin Luo remained silent, Su Muwan grew impatient. She reached out and pinched his cheeks, tugging at them randomly. "Speak, speak, speak! Say something!"
"I..."
Qin Luo took a deep breath. Drunk Su Muwan... in some ways, seemed even more assertive.
Though he wanted to just say it outright...
But...
Qin Luo glanced at Su Muwan. Her eyes were blazing with intensity.
Looking ahead, Su Bailian and Yan Qiuyue were also staring at the two of them with eager eyes.
What kind of embarrassing game is this...
"......"
Qin Luo's mouth twitched.
Well, these three are already drunk anyway.
In that case...
He cleared his throat, covering his face with one hand as if to lessen the embarrassment, and whispered, "Yes."
"Who is it?"
Su Muwan immediately pressed.
Qin Luo shook his head. "Miss, that's already the second question."
"Hmph, is that so? Then let's keep going!"
Su Muwan huffed and reached for another card.
However, Qin Luo snatched it first. He held up the small card and looked at the drunken Su Muwan. "Miss, I've already gone once. Now it's your turn."
"Oh, right..."
Su Muwan nodded, then blinked. "Then you go ahead."
"Let me see."
Qin Luo looked at the card, cleared his throat, and then set it down. He turned to Su Muwan. "Answer whether you have someone you like."
Su Muwan looked puzzled. "Why is the question the same?"
"Don't worry about that. Just answer."
"Oh... um..."
Su Muwan's face flushed red. She looked at Qin Luo and then burst into a series of giggles. "Yes."
"....Who is it?"
Qin Luo quickly followed up.
"Nope, that's the second question!"
Sigh...
Qin Luo inhaled sharply and tossed aside the card that read 【Choose your favorite number and explain why】.
The game continued.
At some point, Su Bailian and Yan Qiuyue passed out from drinking too much, and there were some bizarre and abstract dares thrown into the mix.
Finally...
It was the last card.
Su Muwan held the card and read it aloud: "Let me see... hmm..."
She blinked and fell silent.
Qin Luo, curious, leaned over to look.
His expression immediately stiffened.
The card read:
【Kiss any player of your choice】

From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
