Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 572 "Kiss Me"

Qu Peining shook her head blankly.

Of course she wouldn't.

She doesn't know how to "brag" in games, nor does she know how to "brag" in the traditional sense.

"The rules are roughly like this: each person has five dice, and since there are three of us, we have a total of 15 dice. 1 can represent any number. If all five dice show the same number, that's a 'three'..."

As a widely circulated classic drinking game, the rules of "The King of Boasting" are naturally very easy to understand, and Qu Peining's comprehension ability is not bad either; she understood the general idea after just one listen.

This is a deception game that combines reasoning and psychological warfare; it shouldn't be too difficult for her.

"Okay, let's get started."

After trying it out, Qu Peining nodded to Zhou Wang, indicating that she was ready.

However, at this moment, Jiang Mubai suddenly interrupted, "Wait a minute, President Zhou, you haven't told this lady about the hidden rules yet!"

"Hidden...rules?"

Qu Peining frowned, looking somewhat puzzled.

"Yeah, since it's a nightclub, there are bound to be hidden rules!"

Jiang Mubai said matter-of-factly, and then began to explain, "Didn't President Zhou just tell you that there are two special cases in bragging? One is called 'single die,' which means that no two numbers are repeated, and the other is called 'three of a kind,' which means that all three numbers are the same."

Qu Peining nodded, indicating that she understood.

At this moment, Jiang Mubai smiled meaningfully, "The hidden rule is... when someone rolls a single die, they can ask a truth question once, and when they roll a triple, in addition to winning all the dice, they can also act as the king and designate anyone to complete the punishment game."

What do "Truth or Dare" and "King's Game" mean?

As Jiang Mubai patiently explained to Qu Peining, Zhou Wang found it somewhat amusing to look at Qu Peining's bewildered expression.

You, Jiang Mubai, are taking advantage of this person's first time at a bar!
I've never heard of a "braggart" who mixes up "truth or dare" with something like that...

However, since she had already agreed to let Jiang Mubai take the lead, Zhou Wang naturally wouldn't expose her. In any case, Qu Peining didn't understand these things. After roughly understanding what Jiang Mubai meant, she nodded.

Clearly, Qu Peining had not yet realized that this was just another trap set by Jiang Mubai.

...After all, she had absolutely no concept of so-called "punishment games".

"Let's begin."

After Jiang Mubai finished speaking, he picked up the dice cup and shook it, while winking at Zhou Wang.

Zhou Wang didn't understand why she blinked at first, until he saw Jiang Mubai's little finger start rummaging inside the dice cup as he dropped it...

Zhou Wang's lips twitched.

So you started cheating right from the beginning, huh?
Qu Peining had no idea about these tricks. Jiang Mubai's cheating methods were clearly clumsy, but because she had no precautions at all, and the nightclub was dimly lit, she didn't see Jiang Mubai's little tricks at all.

Zhou Wang picked up the dice and shook them casually, then turned them upside down. Qu Peining followed their example and placed the dice cup face down on the table, then looked up.

Although Qu Peining didn't seem to be acting strangely, Zhou Wang could still tell that she was actually in a relatively tense state. The way she pursed her lips was inexplicably cute.

At the same time, a strange light flickered in Qu Peining's eyes. After all, it was the first time in her life that she had participated in such a game, and her mood was somewhat fluctuating.

"Then, Sister Pei Ning, you go first."

"me?"

Qu Peining wanted to decline, but she was unwilling to show weakness, so after hesitating for a moment, she said, "Okay then... three sixes."

It must be said that Qu Peining is indeed quite clever. Although it was her first time playing, she had already figured out some of the tricks of the trade.

When three people are bragging, the safest way is to start with three people, and using "six" as the base number can also subtly increase the difficulty for others to call out the dice.

Zhou Wang, who was in the middle, casually said, "Add one, and there will be four sixes."

Jiang Mubai followed without hesitation, "Five sixes!"

Back to Qu Peining, she thought for a moment. She had three sixes, and Zhou Wang and Jiang Mubai had ten dice. It shouldn't be difficult to make two or three more, so she continued to shout:

"Six sixes."

Before Qu Peining could finish speaking, Jiang Mubai immediately said, "Open!"

"Ok?"

Qu Peining was still a little taken aback.

"I said the dice have been drawn, Sister Pei Ning, how many sixes do you have?"

“I have three.”

Qu Peining realized that Jiang Mubai was about to open her dice cup, so she immediately opened it. Zhou Wang followed suit and opened the dice as well. Qu Peining saw that he had two sixes.

At this point, Qu Peining believed that she had the victory in her grasp, because Jiang Mubai couldn't possibly be without any of them.

However, Jiang Mubai opened his dice cup with a smile, "Sister Pei Ning, you lost!"

"How could..."

Qu Peining's questioning voice came to an abrupt halt because she had already seen Jiang Mubai's five dice.

"One, two, three, four, six."

According to the rules Zhou Wang mentioned earlier, her situation is called "single die," which means that she has 0 points and no other die counts.

I feel like I've really lost.

Qu Peining pursed her lips, but didn't say much. She picked up the wine glass in front of her and drank it all in one gulp.

After she finished drinking, Jiang Mubai smiled and said, "Sister Pei Ning, do you still remember the hidden rule I mentioned earlier?"

"I remember, we're playing 'Truth or Dare,' right?"

Qu Peining nodded.

"That's right, then let me ask President Zhou first."

Jiang Mubai chuckled, then glanced at Zhou Wang with a cunning look, and asked with a smile, "President Zhou, you have to be able to take the game. Since it's the truth, you can't lie. If your answer doesn't satisfy me, you'll have to drink a penalty shot!"

"Row."

Zhou Wang knew she was more likely speaking to Qu Peining, so he nodded indifferently.

"Mr. Zhou, let me ask you something!"

Jiang Mubai, biting his lip, raised his voice slightly to make sure Qu Peining could hear him too, "If you were to have an in-depth conversation with me, which position would you prefer?"

Qu Peining, who was standing to the side, was instantly stunned.

She wondered if she had misheard, but Jiang Mubai seemed to emphasize those two words, so Qu Peining knew she must not have misheard.

After realizing what had happened, her face instantly turned bright red.

Although Qu Peining already had a bad impression of Jiang Mubai based on his appearance, but... but is this the kind of question that can be asked directly?

Qu Peining couldn't understand it, but that didn't stop her from feeling incredibly embarrassed, as it was the first time in her life she had heard someone say those two words.

But Jiang Mubai seemed completely oblivious to this. After asking the question, his slender fingers touched Zhou Wang's chest, and his eyes became watery. It was as if they were already in bed, and Jiang Mubai wasn't sitting next to Zhou Wang, but lying in his arms.

Zhou Wang was also a little annoyed by the little vixen's flirtatious gaze. If it weren't for Qu Peining's presence, and his desire to maintain his composure, he would have definitely shown Jiang Mubai what it meant to play with fire...

And he could understand what Jiang Mubai really wanted to ask.

Although she used a hypothetical tone, her expectant little eyes clearly indicated that she was taking the opportunity to ask Zhou Wang what position she was in that pleased him the most.

"Cough cough..."

Zhou Wang looked helpless. "This kind of question isn't easy to answer, is it?"

"That won't do, Mr. Zhou. A bet is a bet, and we've already agreed on the rules."

Under Jiang Mubai's persistent questioning, Zhou Wang finally sighed and stammered, "It might be that they pin you against the mirror and grab your hair?"

Jiang Mubai chuckled, "Hey, President Zhou, you're really domineering... but I'm very satisfied."

There was an unspoken understanding between the two.

Because what the scoundrel described wasn't his preference at all, but rather the scene of their first encounter at the BSK Hangzhou store, right there at the shampoo counter in the VIP bathroom, where Jiang Mubai was probably grabbed by Zhou Wang in that way.

Qu Peining, who was listening to Zhou Wang's seemingly embarrassed description, couldn't help but conjure up a picture in her mind.

She immediately shook her head frantically to dispel those thoughts.

But she couldn't blame Zhou Wang, since it seemed that Jiang Mubai had forced Zhou Wang to say everything.

Just as Qu Peining was lost in her own thoughts, Jiang Mubai suddenly turned his attention to her again.

"Sister Pei Ning, it's your turn... My question is, have you ever had sexual fantasies? If so, who was the object of your affection?"

Jiang Mubai started to cheat again, because she essentially asked two questions at once.

Qu Peining, who was unaware of the specific rules, was clearly unaware of this, or rather, Qu Peining had already crashed the moment Jiang Mubai asked the question.

Having learned from Zhou Wang's experience, Qu Peining had already guessed that Jiang Mubai's question wouldn't be "simple," but she never expected it to be so shocking...

X Fantasy.

Even if Qu Peining is innocent, she wouldn't be so clueless as to not understand the meaning of those three words.

A month ago, she could have easily shaken her head with a cold face and said with a clear conscience, "I didn't."

The young girl had never harbored fleeting dreams of love, but the deeper scenarios she had encountered were already beyond Qu Peining's comprehension. And now…

She doesn't seem to be able to say that.

After that night at the Shanghai club, Qu Peining felt that her mind was filled with a lot of jumbled thoughts.

Occasionally, when she suddenly spaces out, Qu Peining would unconsciously recall some scenes from that night, especially the moment when their lips touched and Zhou Wang's large hands roamed restlessly over her body.

Then, Qu Peining would have many strange feelings.

She was confused, but she wasn't completely clueless.

So... that should be what Jiang Mubai was talking about as X-fantasy, right?

Therefore, Qu Peining could not deny it.

But if she were asked to answer, she obviously couldn't, since Zhou Wang was sitting right here... No, even if Zhou Wang weren't sitting here, she couldn't possibly share such a secret with anyone.

So after glancing at Zhou Wang in a slightly flustered manner, all Qu Peining could do was pick up her wine glass and choose to drink instead of being punished.

"Ugh, Pei Ning is so boring... Let's start the next round then."

Jiang Mubai pursed his lips, then picked up the dice cup again.

The three continued to boast.

However, it was clear that she lost very few rounds due to Jiang Mubai's various cheating methods. On the contrary, Zhou Wang and Qu Peining kept losing. However, Zhou Wang could occasionally avoid drinking by answering questions, but Qu Peining could not.

"Sister Pei Ning, what is your most embarrassing memory?"

"Sister Pei Ning, can you accept HR?"

"Oh dear, you lost again. This time, the question is... besides your lips, where do you like to be kissed by a man the most?"

Jiang Mubai called her "sister" sweetly again and again, but his questions, which went too far, left Qu Peining with no choice but to drink one glass of wine after another.

Even if it's a blended spirit, the aftereffects are still there, especially since Qu Peining drank it so quickly.

She felt her vision begin to blur, and her senses around her body were weakening. If it weren't for the belief that "Zhou Wang must not be drunk by her," Qu Peining felt that she might have already given up.

"This round is about playing games!"

It was unclear which round it was, but Jiang Mubai lifted the dice cup and smiled as he revealed his "leopard" (a winning hand).

Qu Peining stood up blankly and saw Jiang Mubai grab her and Zhou Wang's fingers and shake them. Then she suddenly hugged Zhou Wang's neck and pretended to kiss him.

Without thinking, Qu Peining's first reaction was to reach out and cover Jiang Mubai's face.

As she stood up, she swayed involuntarily, and the dizziness in her head intensified.

"what are you up to?"

She asked, somewhat angrily.

"Ah, this is a game, Sister Pei Ning. Didn't you see I rolled a leopard? The punishment I specified is that President Zhou has to kiss someone of the opposite sex for one minute!"

"W-what...how can this be considered punishment?"

Qu Peining's mind went a little slow, but she still quickly retorted.

"Who says you can't? This kind of punishment is very common in nightclubs. You saw a lot of couples kissing just now, right? Maybe they just lost the game!"

Jiang Mubai said with a grin, "President Zhou doesn't have to finish the game, but he'll have to drink three cups of wine as a penalty!"

"Three...three cups?"

Qu Peining knew that Zhou Wang had also drunk quite a bit, especially since she knew that he had also drunk alcohol at dinner. Before he even came to the bar, Qu Peining had already smelled the alcohol on him.

Just then, Zhou Wang feigned helplessness and shrugged, saying, "No...it's nothing, it's just three small cups of wine, I...I'll drink it..."

Zhou Wang's slurred speech made it seem as if three cups of wine were no problem for him, which further convinced Qu Peining that he was about to get drunk.

At this moment, Qu Peining's thoughts were incredibly simple; she was thinking about only one thing... she couldn't let Zhou Wangzui get drunk.

We also cannot allow Zhou Wang to be intimate with Jiang Mubai.

This must be a "trap" set by Jiang Mubai to seduce Zhou Wang. If she can't stop it, then all the wine she drank earlier will be wasted.
In short, she couldn't let this woman get away with it.

So she stopped Zhou Wang from pouring the wine. When Zhou Wang turned his head in surprise, Qu Peining gritted her teeth, suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhou Wang's neck, then stiffly leaned in.

Qu Peining's voice was very soft, almost inaudible. If she hadn't spoken right next to Zhou Wang's ear, he probably wouldn't have heard it.

But Zhou Wang still heard it very clearly...

"You...kiss me."
