A Billion Dollar Exchange

When Liling finally came out of the toilet, Jin Yue and Xin Yong had finished eating and the table had been cleared.

They were now sitting, sprawled on the floor in the parlour. Liu Wei was still alone on the couch, as though they didn't even exist.

"Ah!, Liling, we've been waiting for you, what have you been doing inside there for so long?

Come, come, come over!, let's play truth or dare!"

Liling was extremely exhausted. She had just gathered up courage to leave the toilet, thinking that as soon as she stepped out, they'll leave for home, thus calling it a day!.

But no, it seems the new couple wanted to spend the night here!

"Aren't you guys tired?, it's past eleven already!. My eyes are groggy, let's just go home! "

Liling replied immediately. She wasn't even in the mood to play games, all she wanted to do was sleep and let that day pass by.

"Ah, that's unfair! It's just truth or dare!, we can't just be two players, it's no fun. Liu Wei had refused to play with us, come join us please! Uh, bestie love? "

Liling was weakened by her friend's protests. Thus, she turned to look at Liu Wei, her last burning candle. Thinking that he'll say anything contrary or ask that they all leave, Liling was thoroughly disappointed when Liu Wei didn't even raise his eyes from his phone.

Sadly she walked over to the couple and sat down with them.

"Okay... We'll stop once it's twelve, I really want to sleep. Today's been tiring. "

Liu Wei originally wanted to refuse and ask that they leave immediately but hearing the name of the game, he quickly changed his mind. That was a good opportunity to hear some of her secrets.

"Alright, anyone who can't complete the task would down a cup of wine as a penalty! "

Xin Yong exclaimed. That was when Liling noticed that they've both been drinking, three full bottles, obviously alcohol were still untouched.

She shook her head and sat across from them. From her sitting position, she could get a clear view of Liu Wei. She took a brief look at him and quickly diverted her eyes.

Just that one look felt so painful in her heart, as though she had committed a grave crime.

" Liu Wei don't you want to join us now?, Liling is here! It'll be good if we're four, don't you think? "

Jin Yue's question snapped Liling out of her thoughts, she quickly raised her eyes to look at the man on the couch. Liu Wei merely lifted his eyes from his phone.

The words that followed next were so curt, making everyone feel as though he wasn't interested at all.

"Not Playing! "

Only Jin Yue understood his friend, He just gave a brief laugh and they quickly began the game.

Liling was to start, she was to ask Jin Yue. He quickly picked truth without thinking twice. She didn't know what to ask initially, it would have been better if he chose a dare, then she'll just dare him to hug Liu Wei. Haha!

Just the thought of it almost made her laugh, seeing the staunch faced Liu Wei being hugged, that would really be an interesting view!.

Her fatigue instantly reduced as she thought of this funny scene. She quickly snapped out of her thoughts and thought of a question to ask him.

"So, what is the scariest prank you've ever pulled? "

This was Jin Yue's question. When he heard her, he nearly laughed out his guts.

"Liling, don't you have a more daunting question to ask? Well, I'm so glad you're the one asking me. Sweet, I won't be this soft with you.

Well, the scariest prank I've ever pulled was placing a pen upright on my friend's seat. It was in grade three, every one played the prank then, I wasn't just lucky. Normally, you would notice the pen when you want to sit or it would prick you butt as you tried to sit down, but I was just too unlucky, my friend sat down absentmindedly and the pen drilled a hole on his butt.

That day, after receiving merciless beatings from my teacher then our principal, after which I was reported to my parents and was thoroughly beaten up by my father; I vowed never to play pranks in my life again! Haha"

Jin Yue narrated his story to the attentive ears of the two ladies. At this point, Liling's drowsiness had completely disappeared, she had been thoroughly immersed imagining how gruesome the wound would have been to his friend.

"That was... a bitter lesson learned!, did he survive the injury? "

Xin Yong asked, her face was already squeezed, as though she was the one hurt.

"Haha, of course! thank God he noticed it on time and it just caused a minor injury, else, I would have been put in a remand home. Haha"

"Ow, thank God!"

The both women heaved a sigh of relief.

"So it's your turn, Truth or Dare!"

Xin Yong narrowed her eyes at Jin Yue. She couldn't possibly choose a dare, she couldn't trust that look on his face. He could dare her to kiss him!

He shouldn't be underestimated!
