Chapter 30: The Kiss
Kong Yiyue and Fu Jinting didn't enter the karaoke room together. She stopped after stepping through the door, and Fu Jinting, puzzled, turned to look at her.
Kong Yiyue slowly let go of his hand that she was holding, explaining her concerns, “Let's not go in together.”
Fu Jinting pursed his lips and looked at her, waiting for her to explain. Kong Yiyue expressed her thoughts: “If we go in together like this, maybe everyone will be suspicious and gossip, asking questions. I don't want to make things difficult for you.”
After hearing her, Fu Jinting coldly asked, “Have you made things difficult for me any less?”
Kong Yiyue looked up at him, “If I keep making things for you in the future, won't you be angry?”
The frustration in Fu Jinting's heart deepened. Was that what he meant to express? With a sullen face, he said, “Whatever!” As he left, he said, “306.”
“Huh?” Kong Yiyue didn't hear clearly for a moment, “What?”
“306, the room number!” The last three words were clearly filled with displeasure.
“Oh, I got it.”
Fu Jinting glanced at her again before leaving, thinking: Even like this, if she can still get lost, then she is really something! He couldn't help but laugh at his own foolishness. There are service staff everywhere in the karaoke bar. Even if she can't find the way, is she really stupid enough not to ask a service person to take her there?
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace, too lazy to bother with her!
Kong Yiyue sat on the sofa in the lobby for a few minutes, then went to look for the restroom. After coming out of the restroom, looking at the winding corridors, she wasn't sure where 306 was and had to ask a service person to tell her the way.
When she arrived at the karaoke room, the students inside were already having fun. There were mostly boys from Class 1. Although there weren't many girls, they all got along well because they had known each other for many years.
Kong Yiyue didn't want to steal the limelight from Zhong Ziyang, the karaoke king, and just found a corner to sit down.
Xiang Yi was sitting not far from her, skillfully mixing drinks. The colors of the drinks in the glass were vibrant, with distinct layers, extremely eye-catching. Kong Yiyue was curious, and leaned closer to him, asking, “What is this?”
Xiang Yi was very satisfied with his creation, “My exclusive secret recipe, but you can't drink it.”
Kong Yiyue didn't understand, “Why?”
“It's a mixed drink, the alcohol content is too high. If you drink it, you'll definitely pass out after one glass.”
Kong Yiyue's alcohol tolerance wasn't high, so after hearing him say this, she had to just admire it. After a while, she remembered to ask, “Then who are you going to give it to?”
Xiang Yi's gaze turned towards Fu Jinting, who was sitting casually on the sofa on the left side of the room, then shook his head, “It probably won't do him any good to drink it either.”
“Huh?” Kong Yiyue was surprised, “Does he have a good alcohol tolerance?”
Xiang Yi took a new stemmed glass and added alcohol, “I've never seen him drunk.”
Fu Jinting occasionally looked in her direction a couple of times, seeing Kong Yiyue suddenly pick up a glass, slowly raise it, bring it close to smell the aroma of the alcohol, and then put the glass down. He then withdrew his gaze.
If she really dared to drink Xiang Yi's drink, then she wouldn't have to think about going back to the dorm tonight! Drunk out of her mind, the dorm supervisor would never let her in!
Xiang Yi focused on mixing drinks, and Kong Yiyue had nothing to do and stood by watching. Seeing another drink mixed well, Kong Yiyue curiously picked it up to look at it. Before she could say anything, Hou Guang Lue, who barged in, snatched the glass of wine from her, saying to himself, “How unlucky! My bicycle broke down. I ran all the way here. I'm so thirsty!”
Kong Yiyue, whose hand was suddenly empty, looked up at Hou Guang Lue in surprise. The glass was already half empty, and in a few seconds, it was empty.
Kong Yiyue tentatively asked, “Hou Guang Lue, are you okay?”
Hou Guang Lue smiled and said, “Kong Yiyue, are you worried about me?”
She denied it, “I'm just sorry about the wine.” Then she looked at Xiang Yi again, “Didn't you say the alcohol content was high? How does he still look so sober?”
Xiang Yi didn't expect Hou Guang Lue to drink the wine without asking. This wine has a strong after-effect, Hou Guang Lue will probably suffer tomorrow! He smirked, “You'll see later.”
Lu Yu had been quietly paying attention to Kong Yiyue since she came in. Seeing her just sitting near Xiang Yi, not talking to Fu Jinting, and returning to the corner after saying a few words to Hou Guang Lue, he hesitated again and again, determined to walk up to her, “Kong Yiyue, do you want to play a game together?”
The girl who came with him echoed, “Yeah, Kong Yiyue, come on!”
Kong Yiyue was silent for a moment, and asked, “What are we playing?”
The girl smiled and said, “Of course it's an essential game for KTV! Truth or Dare!”
Kong Yiyue wasn't very interested, but before she could refuse, the girl had already looped her arm around hers, taking her to the game table in the center.
Kong Yiyue took the time to glance at Fu Jinting. He was sitting lazily in place, gracefully holding a wine glass, occasionally taking a few sips.
Why didn't anyone want to ask him to play, but instead let her join?
Only after three rounds, when Kong Yiyue admitted defeat, did she vaguely feel that everyone was... planning this for a long time?
The first time she lost, Kong Yiyue chose Truth. The girl who had just pulled her over was responsible for asking the question, “Is your first kiss still there?” Before the question was finished, the surrounding students all started booing, “Why are you asking such a question?”
The girl said casually, “Don't you want to know the answer?”
The other party was speechless, clearly extremely curious.
Kong Yiyue lowered her eyebrows and thought, and the girl took the opportunity to remind, “Truth, okay! You can't lie!”
Hearing this, Kong Yiyue smiled slightly, and said frankly, “No.”
“Wow!” As soon as she answered, everyone cheered!
Xiang Yi looked at the lively atmosphere over there, walked to Fu Jinting and sat down, saying seemingly unintentionally, “Those people never show mercy when playing games. Aren't you going to help?”
Fu Jinting just glanced over there, “What help?” The implication was that he intended to watch her die.
Xiang Yi looked at Kong Yiyue with that meaningful “good luck” look.
Sure enough, Kong Yiyue had only lost one round, and in the next round, she was still the loser. Kong Yiyue was stunned, and still chose Truth.
This time the topic was also straightforward, and it was the same girl who asked, “Who did you give your first kiss to?”
Kong Yiyue silently turned her head to look at Fu Jinting, seeing that he was still sitting in place as if no one was there, turned her gaze back, and asked, “Can I change the question?”
“How can you change it whenever you want!” The girl was unhappy.
“I'll choose Dare instead.” Kong Yiyue could only say that.
“Are you sure? You only have this one chance!” The girl smiled wickedly, and asked again, “Don't you want to change it?”
Kong Yiyue bit her lip, having a premonition in her heart that this Dare wouldn't be easy either, but the words had already been spoken, and she couldn't go back on her word again and again, so she had to say, “Mm.”
Seeing Kong Yiyue agree, the girl's face lit up with joy, “Kong Yiyue, listen carefully, the Dare is, you have to have a passionate kiss with Lu Yu!”
“Oh... Wow!” Screams were endless. Kong Yiyue calmed down and understood that the purpose of playing this game was to make her lose her innocence, right?
Her tone was cold, “How can you kiss someone casually?”
“It's just a game anyway, Kong Yiyue, what do you care about? Right? Lu Yu, do you have any objections?”
Before Lu Yu could express his opinion, Hou Guang Lue, who was drunk, staggered over, “If Lu Yu doesn't mind, I'll help take the punishment!”
“Hey, Hou Guang Lue, you're sober even when you're drunk! You don't forget to take on such a good job for yourself!”
“Go, get lost!” Hou Guang Lue's footsteps were unsteady. When he reached out to drive people away, he almost fell, but the people next to him were quick to grab him.
Kong Yiyue really wasn't willing, feeling troubled in her heart, and negotiated, “Is it okay if I just kiss one of the boys here?”
Anyway, it was to embarrass Kong Yiyue, it didn't matter who she kissed. The girl said generously, “Okay! Not Lu Yu, Hou Guang Lue is fine too! Kong Yiyue, you have to be willing to bet and accept defeat! Also, the cheek doesn't count, it has to be lips to lips!”
This person is really...
Kong Yiyue suppressed the urge to humiliate her, looked with clear eyes at Lu Yu, who was silent, and scanned Hou Guang Lue, who was already drunk, and then scanned all the boys here. Thinking about being intimate with any of them, it was really...
Seeing the struggling expression in Kong Yiyue's eyes, the girl urged, “Have you chosen who yet? Hurry up, everyone is waiting to see!”
Kong Yiyue thoughtfully looked at the thick smile on her lips, unhurriedly stood up, and walked towards a quiet corner of the karaoke room.
That position was occupied by... Fu Jinting and Xiang Yi?
Everyone was dumbfounded. Kong Yiyue dared to kiss Fu Jinting? No way! Was she going to kiss Xiang Yi? Could she succeed?
Everyone watched her getting closer and closer to the two of them without blinking.
Xiang Yi was still fanning the flames there, saying to Fu Jinting, “Kong Yiyue seems to be playing big this time. Who do you think she'll kiss?”
Fu Jinting's fingers pinched the wine glass, tightening his grip a bit. The thought that arose in the depths of his mind was: She won't kiss anyone else.
Subconsciously, he had already turned her earlier statement, “Fu Jinting, I, Kong Yiyue's, first kiss, in this life, I only want to give it to you,” into: She, Kong Yiyue, will only kiss him in this life!
Therefore, when she hesitated and looked at him, and slowly walked towards him step by step, he stared at her with interest with his bright black eyes, did not get up and leave, and had no other expression on his face.
Seeing this, Xiang Yi consciously got up and walked to the side.
Those few steps seemed to take Kong Yiyue a long time. When she stood in front of him, her knees brushed against the edge of the sofa, he still just looked up at her.
Kong Yiyue stood uncomfortably beside him, her voice a few degrees lighter, “Fu Jinting, I lost the game.”
“And then?”
“And then...” Kong Yiyue slightly awkwardly pulled the hem of her light-colored top, tucked the strands of hair that had fallen on her right cheek behind her ear, and then, with one hand supporting the edge of the sofa, leaned down and placed a kiss on his slightly warm lips with lightning speed.
In the large karaoke room, even the sound of breathing stopped with this kiss. On the LCD screen, the female singer sang with emotion, one line after another:
“Haven't properly felt
The climate of blooming snowflakes
We shiver together
Will understand better
What tenderness is...”
