Chapter 39

"Looking at you, I thought you were honest and straightforward, but it turns out you have a cunning mind. You already have a beautiful girlfriend, yet you still come to tease me!" Lily pointed at Albe near the door, smiling as she playfully patted the fatty Li's arm.

"Albe? Sister Lily, you've misunderstood. We've only known each other for a few days. How could that be possible?" The fatty Li hurriedly waved his hands, denying it.

"Don't try to fool me. I'm a grown woman, not someone who has lived a few more years than you. When you look at her, Albe, right? The look in your eyes when you look at Albe, I understand it all." Lily took a sip of beer and leaned close to the fatty Li's ear to speak. Her words were like the breath of an orchid, making the fatty Li's heart race.

"Really? Sister Lily, you can read that? Then tell me, what does the look in my eyes say now?" The fatty Li finished, then looked at Lily with what he thought was a profound gaze.

Lily didn't answer his question but instead called Si Yao to bring another tray of tequila.

"Sister Lily? So much tequila, are you trying to get me drunk?" The fatty Li couldn't count how many glasses were on the tray and asked Lily with a pained expression.

"Aren't you curious about what I see in your eyes? Let's play Truth or Dare. If you win, I'll tell you." Lily smiled innocently at the fatty Li.

Lily's smile was truly beautiful, and her eyes were so alluring that the fatty Li had no reason to refuse.

"Alright! I'm in! But Dare isn't very interesting. The world is in such a state now, there's no real danger. Let's just do Truth, how about it!?"

The fatty Li took a slice of lemon and some salt from Si Yao as he asked.

"Sure, I'm curious about you too." Lily agreed readily.

This was a good opportunity to get to know the fatty Li. People often speak the truth after drinking, and that's a fact.

At that moment, a song ended, and Tony switched to a Justin Bieber song, causing a group of girls to start singing along.

"How about we play a dice game? The loser answers a question and drinks." Lily took two dice cups from the bar and suggested to the fatty Li.

"Sure, a dice game sounds good!" The fatty Li, half-drunk, replied.

The two of them kept shaking their dice cups and then stopped at the same time.

"Haha, sorry. Sister Lily, looks like you have to tell me the answer." The fatty Li laughed, looking at Lily's three twos.

"You're pretty good. But how about we change the question? Let's save this one for last, okay?" Lily blinked and said to the fatty Li.

It has to be said, a beautiful woman's request is hard to refuse.

"Alright, let's save this one for last! Let me think... When was your first love, and how far did it go?" The fatty Li asked, grinning.

"Of course, you can choose to answer the previous question if you want." The fatty Li added, thinking Lily might be embarrassed to answer.

"Is that all you students can come up with for Truth or Dare?" Lily sighed and picked up the tequila.

"High school, probably in my second year. We didn't go far, just held hands and walked me home." Lily finished and downed the tequila in one go.

"No kisses? Are you kidding me?" The fatty Li asked, not believing her.

"Why would I kid about this? We were very innocent back then." Lily replied matter-of-factly.

The two of them continued to shake the dice cups, and the tequila on the tray gradually decreased.

For some reason, the fatty Li had very good luck, asking all sorts of embarrassing questions from head to toe. Lily answered all of them very openly, without any of the usual coquettishness.

First love, first kiss, and then more intimate details.

Relationships, preferences, and even positions.

Lily didn't hesitate much and answered everything with ease.

However, the tide soon turned. Lily often rolled three sixes or three fives, winning against the fatty Li for a long time. The fatty Li didn't mind answering the questions, but he had drunk quite a bit, and quite quickly, feeling a bit dizzy.

Tequila, if drunk too quickly, can be very intoxicating.

During this time, the fatty Li talked about everything from how he used candy to trick little girls into kissing him in kindergarten, to how he bullied the girl he had a crush on in middle school, to his awkward first love in high school, and his unsatisfactory first time, and the unsatisfactory person he was with, and so on...

Hong Taiping walked over to the two of them, smiled, and went to get more drinks from Si Yao.

The two of them kept going, drinking until only a few glasses of tequila were left on the tray. The party was halfway through, and almost everyone was quite drunk.

Young boys were starting to gather the courage to invite their crushes to dance, and the rest were gathered in small groups, chatting happily.

Everyone cherished this hard-earned party, knowing it might not happen again for a long time.

Apart from Si Yao bringing drinks, no one noticed this corner or the conversation between the fatty Li and Lily.

"Sorry, you lost again, handsome." Lily lifted the dice cup and stuck out her tongue at the fatty Li.

The fatty Li almost numbly raised a glass of tequila and drank it in one go.

"Ask away!"

"What was the reason you broke up with your ex-girlfriend?" In Lily's view, how a man evaluates his ex-girlfriend can reveal a lot.

Being friends after a breakup is just a lie; only hypocrites say good things about their exes.

"Ha, at the time, my family's fortune collapsed overnight, and I had nothing left! My parents were under investigation and unreachable. The money in my bank account was frozen, and all our possessions were seized. Apart from a house with two years of rent already paid, I had nothing." The fatty Li casually recounted his experience.

The fatty Li rarely talked about these things with others, but Lily's warmth made him unable to resist sharing his past.

I didn't expect the fatty Li to have gone through such things, no wonder he didn't seem like an ordinary loser working in a KTV.

Lily raised an eyebrow, took a sip of her beer, and waited for the fatty Li to continue.

"After she found out, she told me repeatedly that she didn't care if I had money or not, that love could survive on water alone. She said she would always be by my side, and I was very moved at the time."

The fatty Li felt a pang of pain and paused before continuing.

"About two weeks later, my parents committed suicide by jumping from a building, and the case was closed. When she found out, she packed her bags, stood at my doorstep, and told me to take care of myself, saying she wouldn't love again..."

The fatty Li raised another glass of tequila and drank it in one go.

"Just like a prostitute saying she won't sell anymore."
