Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Ambiguous Cross-Cups, Depth Charge

After placing the order on her phone, Rian Sinclair sat on the sofa in the room. Selena Forrest had just picked up the microphone and started singing, completely oblivious to what was about to happen.

She was currently trying to hit the high notes with her tone-deaf voice. The moment the door opened, Selena’s vocalization choked off before she could even reach the pitch.

Seeing the various scantily clad, handsome men walking through the door, her jaw dropped in astonishment.

Listening to the system’s announcements, Rian noted that out of the twelve men called over, there were only nine notifications, indicating nine of them met the high-score beauty standard.

At this moment, Selena’s social anxiety flared up. She leaned close to Rian and whispered, "Ria, didn’t you ask me here to sing? What’s the deal with all these men?!"

Rian took out her phone and pulled up a message, displaying Selena’s previous shameless declaration.

"[Look, sisters! They’re all men! Real, live men! I don’t care, you have to take me out! My meager sense of morality is only being guarded by the tiny amount of money I have left!]"

Selena covered her face. Seeing all sorts of men appearing in front of her—some even winking at her—she instantly retracted her gaze, her ears turning bright red. "Come on, Ria, you actually took that seriously?!"

Rian lounged back on the sofa, looking incredibly lazy. "No matter how I look at it, those words came straight from the bottom of your heart! Don’t be shy. There are so many live men here; go have fun. Enjoy yourself, and if it’s not enough, I’ll order more for you."

Right after, Selena was gently pulled away by a man standing nearby.

Sitting a short distance away, Rian watched her best friend play hard to get, when in reality, the corners of her mouth were grinning from ear to ear.

To be honest, the male models at Moonlit really knew how to party. They brought out all sorts of fun games to play.

One of the guys suggested a game. "Selena, there’s a game called Gender Bomb. Guys and girls sit alternately. We set an alarm on a phone and then pass the phone down the line.

"When you hand the phone to the next person of the opposite sex, you have to compliment them. You can’t repeat what others have said. Whoever is holding the phone when the alarm goes off has to drink a crossed-arm toast with the next person.

"Then, the loser sets the timer for the next round, and the phone is passed in the opposite direction. Of course, since it’s a new round, the compliments reset and can be used again.

"Naturally, if someone doesn’t want to do the crossed-arm toast, they can refuse, but they have to drink two glasses as a penalty."

Rian’s interest was piqued upon hearing this, and she turned her head to look at her best friend. Selena lowered her eyes in thought for a moment before pointing at the crowd. "But Ria and I are the only girls here. That means only four people can play. What about everyone else?"

The man who proposed the game smiled and shook his head. "Calling it Gender Bomb is just for convenience. It doesn’t matter if there are more guys than girls; the game can still be played just fine."

Selena nodded repeatedly. "Okay! Hurry up, let’s start! I can’t wait for a deeply affectionate man to rack his brains trying to compliment me!"

Seeing Selena’s lovestruck expression, Rian knew her previous hesitation was just because she hadn’t adjusted yet. Looking at her now, she blended right in seamlessly.

Among the men sitting around her, one fed her fruit while another filled her glass and brought it to her lips. She looked very much like an ancient emperor neglecting court affairs to indulge in wine and beauty.

The game started quickly. Since almost everyone sitting in the circle was a man, they could only hear things like, "Your hair is so thick," "You’re really tall," "You’ve got great skills," and "Your legs are pretty long."

It soon reached the person right before Rian. The man took the phone and turned to her. Rian looked up, and their eyes met. "The lotus pales before your beauty; the palace breeze carries your fragrant grace."

As soon as the man spoke, the game’s classiness instantly leveled up, completely elevating the atmosphere.

Rian’s lips curled up slightly as she took the phone from him. She turned to the next person, her red lips parting slightly. "A peerless beauty to behold, a city-toppling grace untold."

The man who received the phone had already started blushing the moment Rian turned to look at him. Upon hearing her voice, the red flushed all the way down his neck.

Selena tilted her head back to watch the man, her face full of an eager gossiper’s excitement. Her cheeky grin remained as the guy turned to face her.

Before Selena could wipe the expression off her face, it froze awkwardly as the man handed her the phone, keeping his head down. "You are incredibly cute!"

Rian leaned over to take a look. This young man had quite the vibe of a Japanese-style pretty boy. Selena almost had a nosebleed from the sudden compliment.

She coughed uncomfortably and handed the phone to the next person. After stammering for a long time, all she could blurt out was, "You look really provocative!"

Rian watched from the side. Upon hearing those words, she immediately looked away. This girl just blurted out exactly what she was thinking!

Selena looked utterly embarrassed. After hearing the classy poetic compliments, she had already thought of one in her head. But when this Japanese-style puppy-dog boy suddenly threw out a compliment, her mind went blank, and she completely forgot all her prepared words of praise.

So she just said whatever came to mind. Selena covered her face.

The guy next to her didn’t mind at all. He took the phone, and the game continued.

Perhaps to let everyone get used to the game, the timer for the first round was set quite long. After a full circle, the phone once again ended up in the hands of the man in front of Rian.

The man pondered for a moment before saying, "Clouds remind me of her garments, flowers of her face; the spring breeze brushes the railing, heavy with dew."

As a woman, Rian naturally felt quite pleased to hear such praise. A hint of joy appeared between her brows as she handed the phone to the next person. "Your literary talent is deeply graced; its legacy will be unmatched."

Just as she finished speaking and was about to pass the phone to the next person, the alarm rang while it was still in her hand. Feeling helpless, Rian placed the phone on the table, picked up her wine glass, and looked at the Japanese-style golden retriever boy beside her.

Following the rules, the two drank a crossed-arm toast. Rian’s expression remained calm, but the young man across from her turned completely red. Selena howled with excitement from the sidelines.

For the second round, they shuffled their seats. The men sitting next to Rian and Selena were swapped out for others, and the game resumed.

This round ended quite quickly, resulting in two guys having to drink a crossed-arm toast. They played a few more rounds before switching to other games, since sticking to just one would eventually get boring.

(This game is called the Flirty Depth Charge! You guys can just take a sip instead of finishing the whole glass. Call up your crush, invite a few friends, and go for it! Test the waters to see if your crush has feelings for you! This is best for a group of close friends—try not to invite outsiders. Grab your girlfriends and their crushes, otherwise it’ll turn into a chaotic player’s paradise in seconds!)

Rian didn’t participate in the other games they switched to later. With Rian stepping out, Selena was completely surrounded by the men, having the time of her life.

Rian watched as Selena reached out her little hands to feel someone’s abs and pecs, even giving them a couple of squeezes.

Rian thought this woman was a total pervert. She used to think Selena was reserved on Sharkstream, but it turned out she was even more uninhibited in real life than in her private messages on the app.

After playing a few mobile games on the side, Rian looked over at Selena’s intoxicated expression and patted her slightly flushed cheek. "Want to experience the joy of the ancient emperors?"
