654 Gathering

Just as Chu Ning was deep in thought at home, Xu Xi called her.

Xu Xi’s voice on the other end of the phone was a little distorted. He stuttered, “Chu Ning, well…Erm, are you free?”

Chu Ning looked at the notebook on the table. She felt that this was all she could remember, so she replied, “I’m free. What’s up?”

Xu Xi’s voice was full of excitement. “Well, the classmates who were previously tutoring with you are having a meal together. Everyone wants to ask if you’re free, so we can get together.”

Xu Xi’s words became more and more fluent. In the noisy background, she could vaguely hear a familiar voice shouting for Chu Ning to come and have fun.

Chu Ning smiled and readily agreed. “Alright, where are you guys? I’ll go and look for you.”

Xu Xi stuttered again for some reason. “We’re…at the KTV, that, that…” The voice became weaker and weaker. Chu Ning could not even hear which KTV it was.

Chu Ning pressed the volume button a few times in confusion. It was at the highest volume. Why was there no sound? “Hello? Hello? Which KTV? Xu Xi?”

A male voice suddenly came over the phone. “Ze Wang KTV! Little Miss Chu, come quickly!”

Chu Ning didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Yes, I’ll be there soon.”

Xu Xi’s phone had been snatched away, but he did not manage to snatch it back. His face was flushed to the roots of his ears. His usual impartial and upright demeanor was gone.

Everyone in the private room was jeering. A girl took the lead and said, “Xu Xi, Little Miss Chu will be here in a while. Your dare will be complete!”

Immediately after, there was a wave of jeering from the surrounding people.

Xu Xi was so nervous that he couldn’t speak. He sat on the sofa with his palms covered in sweat.

The cause of the incident was that the students who had been tutoring together had established a deep revolutionary friendship. Therefore, when they had nothing to do during the holidays, they would occasionally gather to have fun.

This time was no exception. They suddenly wanted to sing in broad daylight, and coincidentally, there was a student whose family owned a KTV. Everyone was in agreement and immediately set off.

Although the KTV had arranged a luxurious VIP room for their young master and his classmates, there were limited microphones and many people, so everyone discussed playing some games.

One person suggested to play truth or dare, and everyone decided to play rock-paper-scissors, with the minority following what the majority decided.

Xu Xi did not want to play at first, but he was in the minority. In order not to spoil the fun, he braced himself and participated.

In the end, after playing a few rounds, it was Xu Xi’s turn to play dare. Looking at the malicious gazes of his classmates, Xu Xi felt a chill run down his spine.

Sure enough, a girl said, “Xu Xi, then your dare is! Confessing to Little Miss Chu in front of everyone!”

“Woo!” The atmosphere in the room reached a climax. Everyone was jeering and laughing sneakily. Only Xu Xi was like an erupting volcano, with steam rising from the top of his head.

Xu Xi waved his hand and retreated as he stammered, “No, no, I can’t… D-don’t, don’t play this kind of jo-joke…”

The girl who made the dare request smiled slyly. “Oh? Don’t you like Little Miss Chu?”

Xu Xi’s was burning up. He shook his head like a rattle-drum and could not speak for a long time.

“Shaking your head?” The girl next to her smiled. “Shaking your head means you don’t like her, or that you don’t dare to say it?”

Everyone laughed even more happily. A boy patted Xu Xi’s shoulder in a friendly manner. “Come on, representative Xu, your love for Little Miss Chu is almost spilling out of your eyes. We’re not fools. Who can’t tell?”

The boy whose family owned the KTV came over and gave him an idea. “Just call her and ask if she’s free. Ask her to come to the gathering. When she arrives, confess to her. If she accepts, you two can be together. If she doesn’t accept, we’ll say that it’s a dare. Neither of you will feel awkward. How about it?”

Xu Xi sat stiffly on the sofa and was silent for a while before asking, “Will it work?”

Everyone quickly told him, “It’ll work. It’ll definitely work. Hurry up and call Little Little Miss Chu.”
