Chapter 33 - The Whisper Game

"Alright, but the game must not be longer than an hour because your body needs a maximum amount of rest", Yang Zi added. Her reply stunned Yifeng. He was so sure that she would decline his request, so it surprised him that she agreed.

"I want us to play the whisper game," Yifeng said. "The whisper game?", Yang Zi, who never heard the game before, asked curiously. "What kind of game is that?". ​ ​

"I will ask you a question aloud. Any questions, but you are only allowed to whisper the answer in my ear. I haven't played it before, but I have seen many couples do it and it seems fun," Yifeng replied trying to stand up from the bed but Yang Zi signalled him to sit back on the bed. She went towards him instead.

"You said you have seen many couples do it, so I bet they must make the game for lovers. So why do you want us to play it when we are not even couples," Yang Zi commented as she stared at him. Even Yifeng did not know why he wanted to play the game with her when she was not his girlfriend.

"I don't think it's only meant for couples. We can ask ourselves funny questions just to make the atmosphere more lively but it's Ok if you don't want to play with me" Yifeng said disappointedly as he looked away. He was only pretending to be displeased, so she would agree.

"Very well, I agree, but you are not allowed to take advantage of me during the game alright," ang Zi reluctantly agreed when she saw his mood change because of her rejection.

"Really? Thanks for agreeing," Yifeng turned around to face her immediately as he though he knew she would have eventually agreed. Yang Zi just smiled at him sheepishly saying nothing.

"I will ask you a question first so you will know how the game goes," Yifeng uttered in excitement.

"If you were held at gunpoint and told, if you don't impress them with your dance moves you would be killed, what dance moves would you bust out?" Yifeng questioned, smirking devilishly. Yang Zi sat down and thought about the question. She whispered into his ears after she came up with an answer. Yifeng bursted out laughing when he heard her reply.

"Hey, what is so funny about my answer?" Yang Zi demanded, smiling along with him. She could not help but think that this was the first time she had seen Yifeng laugh since they had known each other.

"What? You would actually dance the Capoeira dance? That was such a funny reply," Yifeng questioned, still laughing.

"You think my answer is funny then let's see what answer you will give to my question," Yang Zi said smiling devilishly. Yifeng could guess how naughty her question would be from her expression.

"What question have you asked a female sales representative that made her feel the most uncomfortable?" Yang Zi asked, winking at him playfully. Yifeng covered his face in embarrassment when he heard her question. Yang Zi signalled him to come closer when she saw him hesitating. Yifeng reluctantly whispered the answer. Yang Zi stood up and laughed when she heard his reply. She almost fell down as a result of her laughter if not that she somehow maintained her stance.

"What? You asked a female sales representative what size of condom she thought would fit your little brother perfectly?" Yang Zi exclaimed, bewildered. "Oh, my gosh! That is the most hilarious question I have ever heard," Yang Zi remarked, still laughing maniacally. It took her five minutes before she could successfully control her laughter.

"Would you still talk to me if my face looked like this?", Yifeng used his hand to smush his face for a giggle making Yang Zi burst out in a deafening laughter when she saw his expression. "Of course I would because your face will be the reason why I will get to laugh every day," Yang Zi whispered an answer still smiling happily.

The atmosphere was so lively. For that period, Yang Zi forgot about everything. All she could see and feel was genuine happiness. She wished every day would be like today, but she knew that was not possible. By tomorrow she will have to go back to her normal self, even against her will. Both of them lost track of time as their laughter occasionally filled the room.

"What is the craziest thing you've ever done?" Yifeng asked when it reached his turn. Yang Zi sat down and thought about his question. She giggled when she recalled the most suitable answer to his question.
