It was not until an hour and a half later that dinner finished.
But it was obvious that everyone was having a good time, and nobody talked about leaving the venue. Some people had even begun to play games at their respective tables.
The table that Zhuang Nainai was seated at had 15 to 16 people, and everyone was rather uptight due to the presence of Si Zhengting at the table. At this point, having been made envious by the activity going on at other tables, someone weakly suggested, "How about… let's play a game too!"
"What do we play?" someone responded.
"Truth or Dare! It's a classic, never-changing game!"
"Good idea!"
Having agreed on this, everyone turned to look at Si Zhengting and Zhuang Nainai, waiting for their indication.
Si Zhengting was silent as usual while Zhuang Nainai bowed her head and looked at her own plate. Seeing how the two of them were, Ji Chen felt the need to enliven the atmosphere at the table. "That's good! Let's spin the wine bottle and see who the bottle mouth points toward!"
"Good idea!"
There was power in the masses; in a few moments, with the help of everyone, the table was cleared up, leaving only a few bottles of wine and beer. People then began spinning the bottles on the large glass disc in the middle of the dining table.
In the first few rounds, the bottles turned toward Zhang Tingting and a few other younger girls. The people asked them rather liberal questions, such as whether they were still virgins. It was not until the ninth round that the bottle pointed toward Zhuang Nainai.
"Ha ha, Truth or Dare?" someone asked.
After thinking for a moment, Zhuang Nainai replied, "Truth."
All the questions had been preset, and they were kept in a mystery box, waiting for people to draw their lot.
But these people had gone crazy with their games, and the Dares were surely of high difficulty.
Someone brought the box in front of Zhuang Nainai, and she stuck her hand in to pick out a slip of paper. Another person helped her to unfurl it and then read the question aloud, "Leader Zhuang, since you're so pretty, there must be lots of people pursuing you. When did you have your first love?"
When?
Zhuang Nainai lowered her head, her lips curling into a smile. "Sixteen years old."
Sixteen to 18 years old, the blossoming years of her youth — she had given them all to Si Zhengting.
"Sixteen? Wow, you started early!" Zhang Tingting said exaggeratedly. "But over where I studied, there were couples in middle school already! Oh no, maybe I should say… even in primary school too!"
Zhuang Nainai immediately replied, "Sixteen years old is considered a mature age in other countries! What do you mean, 'start early'?"
Zhang Tingting laughed. "Then, did you dare tell it to your mother? If your mother knew, she would have broken your legs!"
Hearing this, Zhuang Nainai laughed hard, her face radiating excitement. "No way! When my mother found out about it, she even encouraged me to make sure I succeeded in pursuing my target!"
That one sentence unknowingly released a lot of information. Picking it up, Zhang Tingting excitedly asked, "Oh, and I thought that it was Leader Zhuang getting pursued! Unbelievably, it was you who did the pursuing! Leader Zhuang, quick, tell us how the other party was like! Even your mother agreed to him!"
How had he been like?
Zhuang Nainai looked at Si Zhengting through the corner of her eye. He had stopped rapping the table with his fingers and now seemed to be just as interested as everyone else in what she was about to say.
Zhuang Nainai twitched her lips. "Aish, I was too young at that time and didn't have good taste. I fell in love with a stone-cold guy."
