I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

"This guy is incredibly audacious; he actually did something so treacherous."

Chen Ya didn't want to find out how she planned to deal with this poor office worker. He glanced at his watch and said, "It's been three minutes."

"Go out."

The two returned to their booth at the bar, where the three people who had been sitting there seemed to have remained motionless since they left.

"Hello, the adventure is over. Actually, the restroom was quite fun too." Gu Yuqing waved to everyone with a big smile, as if she had just come from Disneyland.

Yi Yangbing said with difficulty, "Let's continue playing..."

“I have a suggestion,” Chen Ya suddenly said.

"What?" Yi Yangbing looked at him warily. Chen Ya had now become his biggest enemy at this table.

"Drinking like this is too slow; we don't know when we'll finish. How about we change the rules? The last person to finish has to do a dare, and the second to last person has to drink. What do you guys think?"

Yi Yangbing thought about it and felt that Chen Ya's proposal this time was quite advantageous to him.

He had a high alcohol tolerance, but his real plan was to get everyone else drunk so he could act as Gu Yuqing's protector and take her home.

For him, being able to drink faster is naturally a good thing.

"Okay, I have no objection."

After Yi Yangbing finished speaking, Zuo Pingping naturally had no objections. Although Gu Yuqing didn't know what Chen Ya was planning, she didn't object either.

“In the last round, only those two got to experience the dare, and no one else got to play. I suggest that we continue with the dare content from last round this time, what do you think?” Yi Yangbing said, holding the dice cup.

Gu Yuqing lazily drank her water. She didn't care about the details of the dare at all, since Chen Ya had already promised to protect her.

She wanted to see exactly how Chen Ya would protect her.

No one objected, so the game started again. This time, the ending was surprisingly bizarre.

As with the previous round, Chen Ya still had the highest score, while Gu Yuqing had the lowest.

Chen Ya turned to look at her: "What should we do? It seems like it's still just you and me?"

Gu Yuqing lazily tossed the coat that was covering her legs back onto the ground: "What else can we do but accept our loss?"

Yi Yangbing was so annoyed he almost shouted out loud.

Wu Qiutong, gloating from the sidelines, added fuel to the fire: "Young Master Yi, you were second to last just now, and you haven't even drunk your wine yet?"

After the first time, the second time was much easier. Gu Yuqing and Chen Ya once again squeezed into the small bathroom stall and locked the door.

Gu Yuqing crossed her smooth arms and smiled, "It's too much of a coincidence."

"Yes. Indeed."

The two stood facing each other for a while, and Gu Yuqing reached out to fan her neck:

"It's so hot."

"It is a bit hot," Chen Ya replied.

Chen Ya was still wearing the same white shirt he wore during the day, without a jacket. Gu Yuqing stared at his neck; the top two buttons of his shirt were undone, revealing his straight collarbone.

Gu Yuqing involuntarily swallowed.

"anything else?"

"What else?"

"It's a bit hot. Anything else?" Gu Yuqing said. "Say something, okay?"

What should I say?

“Just say whatever you want. Just standing here like this is creating a bit of an awkward atmosphere,” Gu Yuqing said.

"I didn't feel that way," Chen Ya said honestly.

In Gu Yuqing's mind, he might have been a little too honest.

If I'm the only one who feels the atmosphere is strange, wouldn't it make it seem like I've... fallen for him?

Gu Yuqing shook her head, straightened her bangs, and asked, "How many minutes has it been?"

Chen Ya glanced at his watch and said, "45 seconds have passed since we came in."

"It feels like each day is an eternity," Gu Yuqing said.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a knock came from the door of the cubicle.

"Sorry, someone's here," Gu Yuqing said.

Zuo Pingping's voice came from outside: "You two, how's it like up inside?"

It turned out that the three people outside couldn't sit still any longer and came over to see what was going on.

However, the three people came for different reasons.

Some people are just looking for fun, some want to increase the shame of the punishment, and some just want to feel a sense of participation.

“It’s very comfortable,” Chen Ya replied.

"Is it crowded?" Wu Qiutong asked gloatingly.

"It's a bit cramped," Gu Yuqing said, deliberately puffing out her chest.

Yi Yangbing muttered something outside, sounding dissatisfied but helpless.

Gu Yuqing suddenly leaned close to Chen Ya's ear and whispered, "That young master is jealous. Let's keep quiet from now on and let him guess."

The girl's breath was sweet and fragrant, like a gentle tickle on the ear, sending a tingling sensation straight to the heart. Chen Ya nodded and silently said, "Okay."

Sure enough, Wu Qiutong continued to stir things up from the outside, asking, "What positions were you in inside?"

Gu Yuqing pursed her lips, deliberately not answering.

"Why are you so quiet? Don't scare me, or you'll fall into a pit," Wu Qiutong continued.

The two remained silent.

The less you speak, the more likely you are to provoke speculation and negative emotions.

Wu Qiutong shouted, "Don't do anything reckless! You only have three minutes. If you don't come out by then, we're going to break down the door!"

Zuo Pingping, never one to shy away from stirring things up, chimed in, "Maybe three minutes will be enough?"

Yi Yangbing said rudely, "If you're not going to talk inside, why don't you break down the door now?"

Wu Qiutong stopped him and said, "Hey, Young Master Yi, it's not time yet. Are you saying you can't afford to play?"

Yi Yangbing drank too fast, and because he was in a bad mood, he was drinking alone. Now he's a little tipsy, his face is flushed, and he doesn't know what to say.

Chen Ya checked his watch and opened the door as soon as the time was one to three minutes.

Seeing the two emerge from the door unharmed, Yi Yangbing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Back at their booths, Gu Yuqing asked with a smile, "So? Are you coming again?"

“Come on,” Wu Qiutong said immediately, “You guys are having so much fun inside, I’d like to join in too.”

"Sure, you can do the same with me later, drop three ones, and the three of us can squeeze in together."

"You think you're so great? How can it always be just the two of you going in?"

After Wu Qiutong finished speaking, her words unexpectedly came true. In the next round, everyone rolled the dice and the results were revealed: Chen Ya and Gu Yuqing were still the same pair, one big and one small.

The result was exactly the same as the previous two times.

"Holy crap! Are you two crazy?!" Wu Qiutong shouted.

Zuo Pingping said expressionlessly, "It's poisonous. Even cheating wouldn't be this coincidental."

Yi Yangbing picked up the dice from Chen Ya's cup and examined them carefully. They were all provided by the bar, and there was no tampering with them.

"There's nothing I can do, sometimes things just happen that way," Gu Yuqing said helplessly, tossing down her coat that had just been draped over her leg. This was the third time she'd done this today, and she was getting tired of it. "Shall we just accept the consequences of our bet?"

Chen Ya stood up and walked straight to the restroom.

When they entered the place for the third time, they had absolutely nothing to say to each other.

Chen Ya looked at his watch, while Gu Yuqing played with her hair.

Chen Ya put his hands in his pockets, while Gu Yuqing twisted her fingers together in front of her.

Chen Ya fanned himself by lifting his collar, while Gu Yuqing rubbed her legs together, secretly adjusting her stockings.

After this state had continued for a while, Gu Yuqing asked, "How much longer?"

"2 minutes."

"Only one minute has passed??" Gu Yuqing asked incredulously.

As night deepened, the atmosphere in the bar grew even more intense, and the atmosphere in this small booth also warmed up.

Gu Yuqing stared at Chen Ya with bright eyes, hesitating as if she wanted to speak, and after gathering her emotions for a while, she finally mustered up the courage to ask:

"When you were comforting yourself yesterday, did you use me as material?"

This was a question that had been lingering in her mind ever since that round of truth or dare; she cared about it terribly.

"This is the dare game, not the truth game."

"I'm just asking you, do you have it?"

"Einstein imagined the scene of the atomic bomb exploding countless times, but he did not regret it until the atomic bomb actually exploded, because imagination itself is innocent."

"You just need to say, 'Yes' or 'No'?"

"I can assure you now that I have absolutely no ulterior motives towards you."

“I’m not asking about now, I’m asking about yesterday,” Gu Yuqing said firmly, but with a hint of coquetry. “I’m not going to pursue any responsibility, so tell me whether it happened or not?”

The two locked eyes for a full ten seconds before Chen Ya finally gave in.

"Have."

Gu Yuqing is a hormone-generating machine. Her overflowing youthful vitality and desire are like a spray truck that sprays a lot of libido into the air every day. Especially after exercise, she is as tempting as a peach after the rain.

She's the kind of woman who, even knowing she's dangerous and will torment people to the point of death, still can't help but think of her from time to time.

Upon hearing Chen Ya's honest answer, Gu Yuqing's eyes widened like grapes, her mouth opened into an "O" shape, and she covered her mouth with her hand, making a drawn-out "Oh~~" sound, seemingly more shocked than hearing about an atomic bomb explosion.

"I can't believe you actually used me as material, ugh! How disgusting!"

"You just said you wouldn't pursue the matter."

"They won't hold you accountable, but it's disgusting." Gu Yuqing stared at him. "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."

With her hands behind her back, she gently stretched out her leg and kicked Chen Ya's shin with her toe. She didn't use much force, so it didn't hurt at all.

Chen Ya glanced at his watch: "Time's up. To be precise, it's been almost four minutes."

Gu Yuqing tugged at her skirt, blushing, and said, "Really? Time flies so fast, I haven't finished chatting yet."

Chen Ya felt that she seemed to be in a good mood.

Pushing open the bathroom door, Wu Qiutong's large face appeared in front of the two, startling Chen Ya.

Until now, she had been pressing her ear against the door to listen, and when she bumped into Chen Ya face to face, she smiled shyly.

"You don't even mind getting dirty, peeking through the door crack. Ha." Gu Yuqing smiled contemptuously, utterly disdainful of her best friend's behavior.

Zuo Pingping and Yi Yangbing stood at a distance, each looking somewhat embarrassed.

This bar is known for its excellent soundproofing; the two people's conversation was muffled, and they didn't hear a thing.

Gu Yuqing tossed her hair aside and walked towards the door. As she passed Chen Ya, she suddenly leaned close to his ear and whispered something:

“I used you as material yesterday too.”

Having said that, the end of her hair brushed against his face, a fragrant breeze wafted by, and she was already far away.

Wu Qiutong stared wide-eyed, grabbed Chen Ya's arm, and asked, "What did she say to you?"

Chen Ya was still a little dazed and said, "She said she was getting a little tired of playing."

Yi Yangbing said somewhat nervously, "Then let's go back and try a different game?"

Zuo Pingping nodded and said, "Yes, this dare game is addictive. It's always the same two of them. Let's go back and find someone else."

The group discussed their options and returned to their seats. Zuo Pingping cleared her throat and said:

"Given that the dare we just had seemed to be cursed, let's change the dare to change our luck. The new dare is that whoever comes in last has to kiss someone in this bar."
