Chen Dongyang's expression remained calm, but he took her phone and sent her a WeChat message.
"Jiang Jingtian, don't provoke me, or I'll make you look good later."
"What's wrong? Is your stomach bothering you again? Need to go to the toilet?"
"Indeed, I'm terribly constipated. I probably won't be able to come out for an hour or two this time."
Tian Tian, startled, quickly sat up straight and pointed at his screen as if she were behaving.
"Engineer Chen, I understand this part. Can you explain it to me?"
All afternoon, Chen Dongyang was driven to distraction by her.
Finally, when work ended, Lu Huaijin announced a celebration dinner, and everyone was excited.
They split into several groups and got into Chen Dongyang's and Lu Huaijin's cars, heading to the restaurant.
Apart from two staff members from finance and Tian Tian, the remaining dozen or so people from the studio were all men, and there was bound to be drinking and boasting during the meal.
Chen Dongyang was very adept at socializing. Watching him navigate the room, clinking glasses and chatting with everyone, Tian Tian felt even more admiration for him.
The dinner lasted two hours, after which they moved on to a club.
Lu Huaijin had already arranged a private room and ordered a table full of alcohol. Some people went to sing, while others sat down to continue drinking.
Suit jackets were tossed aside, and everyone rolled up their shirt sleeves high. The room was filled with overflowing hormones.
The most common game in such gatherings was "Truth or Dare."
This was Tian Tian's second time, and she was familiar with the rules, so when Lu Huaijin invited her to participate, she agreed without a second thought.
It was slightly different from the first time; this time, a spinner was used to start.
In the first round, Lu Huaijin was the dealer and surprisingly spun on himself.
Intending to show off to Tian Tian, he chose "Truth."
The first question was: How many relationships have you had?
Lu Huaijin thought for a moment: "Three."
However, everyone expressed disbelief.
President Lu was known for being dashing and constantly attending parties, so how could he have only had three girlfriends?
To prove his innocence, Lu Huaijin told them to ask Tian Tian.
"We're childhood friends, we grew up together. There's nothing about me that she doesn't know. Ask her if you don't believe me."
Tian Tian smiled and said, "He's telling the truth. I even know the names of his three girlfriends. Do you want me to tell you?"
Everyone burst into laughter, letting him off the hook this time.
In the second round, Lu Huaijin spun on a colleague opposite him. He chose "Dare," and according to the punishment on the spinner, he had to drink a cross-cupped wine with the male colleague next to him.
Everyone roared with laughter.
After a few rounds, it was finally Chen Dongyang's turn.
Although she had already heard his story, Tian Tian was still looking forward to it. However, Chen Dongyang didn't let her have her way and chose "Dare."
The dare punishment spinner was placed on the table, and Chen Dongyang spun on the "dance" punishment.
Everyone was very excited.
With Engineer Chen's abstemious appearance, he probably couldn't dance and would make a fool of himself.
Someone immediately and thoughtfully switched on a very upbeat song for him.
Who would have thought that Chen Dongyang wouldn't hesitate at all? He stood up and danced a cha-cha to the energetic music.
His alluring movements and expressions greatly surprised everyone and further deepened their admiration for his charisma.
Especially Tian Tian, she had never seen him so flamboyant, dancing the cha-cha in a white shirt and black suit pants...
Forgive her for having an inappropriate fantasy, and when she looked at Chen Dongyang again, her eyes seemed to be shooting stars.
After finishing his dance, Chen Dongyang seemed to deliberately want to tease Tian Tian, controlling the force with which he spun the spinner towards her.
It was successful quickly.
Tian Tian chose "Truth." The question was: When was the last time you kissed?
Everyone present, including Lu Huaijin, was extremely curious about this question.
Dozens of eyes were fixed on her. Tian Tian subtly shifted her gaze from Chen Dongyang's face and said,
"How about I switch to Dare?"
"No, if you chose Truth, you have to tell the truth. How can you change it at the last minute?"
Lu Huaijin was confident, thinking Tian Tian had never dated, and teased her,
"You haven't kissed anyone, have you? Too embarrassed to say? It's okay, it only proves your purity. What's there to be ashamed of!"
Kissing makes one impure?
What kind of logic was that.
Tian Tian rolled her eyes at him, "I'll tell you if you believe me. Probably, about four hours ago."
Lu Huaijin was dumbfounded: "Tian Tian, this is just a game. If you have, you have. If you don't, you don't. You can't just lie to save face!"
Tian Tian rolled her eyes at him again: "Believe it or not, anyway, I've answered. Next."
Lu Huaijin was a bit puzzled. She had been with Tian Tian all day. How could she have kissed someone?
This girl had a strong competitive spirit. For the sake of a game, she was spreading rumors about herself.
Next, it was Tian Tian's turn to spin. Unfortunately, she spun on herself.
She hadn't decided what to choose yet when Lu Huaijin egged her on.
"Truth, truth! Your luck is so bad, if you choose Dare, it'll be something bad. Choose Truth!"
Tian Tian defied him, "Since you don't believe the truth anyway, I'll choose Dare."
She spun the wheel, and the dare question was: Drink a cross-cupped wine with the person second to your left.
Uh, the person second to her left happened to be Chen Dongyang. She had to drink a cross-cupped wine with Chen Dongyang.
Lu Huaijin's face immediately fell.
"I told you to choose Truth, but you insisted on choosing Dare!"
Tian Tian was delighted and retorted to Lu Huaijin.
"It's just a game, and I haven't said anything myself. Why are you complaining? It's just drinking, come on!"
Tian Tian rolled up her sleeves, picked up her wine glass, and looked at Chen Dongyang.
The atmosphere at the scene was ignited to its peak by everyone's cheers.
Chen Dongyang also picked up his wine glass and stood up. The two of them, with Lu Huaijin looking displeased between them, drank the cross-cupped wine with ambiguous gazes.
The crowd continued to jeer. Some observant people noticed that Tian Tian and Chen Dongyang looked like a couple. The more they looked, the more compatible they seemed, and they suggested they kiss again.
"You've already drunk the cross-cupped wine, all that's left is the wedding ceremony. Since our Engineer Chen is also single, why don't you two get together!"
"Get together! Get together!"
"Kiss! Kiss!"
Tian Tian smiled cheekily at Chen Dongyang, and Chen Dongyang looked back at her with a fearless expression.
Amidst the crowd's clamor, before Lu Huaijin could stop her, Tian Tian stepped forward, grabbed Chen Dongyang's collar, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed him on the corner of his mouth.
"Ah!!!"
The atmosphere at the scene instantly became even more ecstatic, the screams almost lifting the roof.
Tian Tian let go of Chen Dongyang and sat back down, satisfied, patting Lu Huaijin.
"Do you believe me now? The last kiss was one minute ago. Are you not curious about this question anymore?"
In Lu Huaijin's memory, Tian Tian had always been a well-behaved girl with strict upbringing. She had even been mocked by other socialites in their circle for being tied to her parents' side at her age, a seasoned mama's girl.
Who would have thought this girl would be so open today.
Seeing that Chen Dongyang had taken advantage of her, Lu Huaijin was very unhappy.
He took a tissue and wiped Tian Tian's mouth: "Sit down properly. You get reckless when you drink too much. I don't think you should touch alcohol."
