Chapter 58

Just as their lips were getting closer, their breaths brushing against each other's faces, they suddenly jumped apart. Dongdong took a deep breath, grabbed one of the three cups, and started drinking it in large gulps.

The crowd below erupted in cheers once again.

After finishing a large cup, Dongdong rushed to the bathroom to try and vomit, hoping to get some of it out. It was definitely vinegar.

"Liu Meng, don't be a cheater. Now you can only choose from the two remaining cups, a 50% chance, come on!" Zheng Wen said with a laugh, her eyes gleaming mischievously.

Furrowing his brow, Liu Meng had no choice but to pick one. As he brought it to his nose, a strong smell of vinegar hit him. Pinching his nose, he gulped it down. It was so sour, how many years old was this vinegar?

After finishing, he followed Dongdong's path and rushed to the bathroom.

After both of them had run out, Zheng Wen chuckled, picked up the remaining cup, and took a small sip. "This is what happens when you don't have good luck. A perfectly good cup of cola, and no one drank it."

By 10 PM, the main building started to clear out, but the top students were still in high spirits. They all suggested finding a place to continue the party. Zheng Wen said, "Let's go to a KTV. We can keep playing games and drinking. It's been a while since we last sang, and my throat is itching."

Everyone agreed. Suddenly, Zheng Wen's phone rang. It was Gu Pan calling. She quickly answered, "Pan'er, what's up?"

"Weren't we supposed to go back together? Is your side done? I'm already waiting in the dorm." Gu Pan said on the other end of the line.

"Oh, our class activity is over, but everyone is still in high spirits and wants to go sing. As the cultural and sports committee member, I can't not go, right?" Zheng Wen slapped her forehead, remembering her promise to Gu Pan.

"Then I won't wait for you. I'll have Uncle Guang pick me up later." Gu Pan sounded a bit upset.

"No, if you go back, what will I do? Why don't you come along? Your singing is great, and you know a lot of people in our class. What do you say?" Zheng Wen pleaded.

"If Bai Jingjing and Mengmeng are coming, invite them too. It'll be more fun. We just finished the exams, and everyone needs to relax." Zheng Wen continued to plead.

Gu Pan thought about it and, with no other plans and her good friend's request, sighed and agreed. They decided to meet at the west gate. She packed her things, called Bai Jingjing and Mengmeng, and quickly left the dorm.

In the large KTV room, several boxes of beer were lined up. Since they couldn't drink during the party in the main building, everyone was eager to have a good time. Now, a group of people started drinking.

With the addition of Gu Pan, Bai Jingjing, and Mengmeng, the gender ratio was almost 2:1. The boys couldn't help but get excited.

The boys howled and cheered.

However, their class president, Guo Yu, as usual, had to say a few words, "Classmates, classmates, quiet down, I have a few words to say."

This time, he was smarter and only said a few words, otherwise, he would have been booed off again.

Cheng Cheng, drinking beer, said to Dongdong, "Look at that guy, always trying to show off. What a fool."

Dongdong clinked his bottle with Cheng Cheng's and laughed, "No need to say more, it's all in the drink."

"As the class president, I feel honored that several girls have joined our class activity. Please give them a warm welcome."

Applause and whistles filled the room.

"As the first family member to join our class activity, Li Yue, shouldn't you show some appreciation? How about drinking a bottle?" Guo Yu continued.

"Jiang Weixin, as a man, shouldn't you drink for your wife?" someone shouted.

How could they let such an opportunity pass? Jiang Weixin's face turned red. He didn't drink, and he didn't dare to speak up.

But Li Yue couldn't take it anymore. She opened a bottle of beer, walked up, and said, "I'm happy to join the class activity. Thank you all for taking care of Jiang Weixin. He can't drink, so I'll finish this bottle." Li Yue raised the bottle and started drinking.

She was drinking straight from the bottle.

The leader, sitting next to Jiang Weixin, hit him and said, "You're a coward, making a woman drink for you."

Jiang Weixin looked embarrassed, "I'm allergic, and anyway, Yue can drink."

Li Yue finished the bottle and walked back steadily, her face slightly flushed.

The boys cheered.

Cheng Cheng nudged Jiang Weixin and said, "You should be a girl, squatting to pee."

"I squat to poop, thanks." Jiang Weixin replied with a sly smile.

"Alright, after the welcome, let's start singing. I'll go first," Guo Yu said, having learned his lesson. He didn't waste time and started singing.

The boys all looked at him with disdain, deciding not to vote for him as class president next time.

The top students didn't just sing; they had to score points. The next person's score couldn't be lower than the previous one, and the next person was chosen by the previous singer.

Of course, they could also sing in groups. The loser had to accept a punishment, and the punishment was decided by the person who chose them.

This was the KTV rule set by the top students.

"Say you want to leave me, give me back my photo, I want to give it back to my mom..." Guo Yu sang loudly, scoring 69 points.

Guo Yu was very pleased and pointed at Deng Jinyao, smiling mischievously, "Next is you, lose and answer a true or false question."

The leader's heart was filled with frustration. How could someone from Linhai Ningcheng speak Mandarin well, let alone sing?

"Can't catch love, always watch her slip away, happy people are everywhere, why can't I be one of them..." The leader's singing was terrible, but he didn't lose his composure. He howled so loudly that it almost tore the microphone, and the occasional screeching sound was inevitable. The result was predictable; the leader lost.

Guo Yu's eyes widened, and he puffed out his cheeks, thinking of a question to ask Deng Jinyao. An idea came to him, and he shouted, "How many times a week? Left hand or right hand? Don't say never."

Damn, the leader was about to lose it, almost shouting back, but he swallowed the last word. "That's two questions, damn it!"

"Left hand or right hand?" Guo Yu wouldn't let the leader off.

"Both!" the leader cursed, but still answered the question.

The room erupted in laughter. Some things, though known to everyone, were still awkward to talk about.

"Hey, Deng Jinyao, you haven't chosen the next person yet!" Guo Yu laughed the loudest.

The leader came down and started drinking beer, grumbling, "Ji Hai."

Ji Hai went up with a smile. It was the best to follow someone who couldn't sing. He chose a song, being from Jiangdu but with a mother from Yue Dong, he knew Cantonese and chose a Cantonese song.

"Life is a beautiful dream and hope, tears in the dream, where to go, to find my direction, the wind sighs in the dream, the road and people are vast..."

The melody was beautiful, the lyrics profound, and his singing was decent. He scored 80 points, and Ji Hai beamed with pride. He was probably the only one in the class who knew Cantonese, and he felt like a rare and precious creature.

"Yuan Zhaohui, next is you!"

Ji Hai proudly handed the microphone to Yuan Zhaohui, who took it with a grim face, a flash of anger in his eyes. It was just a game, and he could handle it.

"Five thousand years of wind and rain, hiding many dreams, yellow face, black eyes, the smile remains..." After his angry howl, Yuan Zhaohui didn't wait for the score and looked at Ji Hai, "Little bastard, bring on your trick."

"Embrace one of the girls here for ten seconds." Ji Hai said with a sly smile, thinking to himself, "Let's see who would want to hug you, a 170 cm tall, 200 kg pig."

Yuan Zhaohui was furious. This was a dare, and he roared, "Whoever lets me hug them, I'll marry them."

The girls all backed away, but a clear voice said, "Okay, hug me."

Bai Jingjing stood up, walked over to Yuan Zhaohui, and gently hugged him, smiling, "You're chubby, but you're actually quite cute."

Bai Jingjing was a very slim girl, with large eyes that stood out on her face. She never gained weight no matter what she ate and envied chubby people.

Yuan Zhaohui was extremely excited and hugged Bai Jingjing tightly, feeling their hearts beat close together.

Ten seconds passed quickly, and Yuan Zhaohui was still hugging her. Bai Jingjing gently pushed him, and he let go.

"Damn, I'll start chasing you from now on, and I'll definitely make you my wife." Yuan Zhaohui shouted at Bai Jingjing as she sat back down.

The boys cheered.

Bai Jingjing smiled, her prominent front teeth showing, "I have a boyfriend, thanks."

Yuan Zhaohui stared at her, seeing only her. The more he looked, the more beautiful she became. Her large, bright eyes and prominent front teeth were uniquely charming.

One by one, the game continued, with various and bizarre punishments. The top students' imagination was astounding, which was why they were top students.

Zheng Wen sang "Olive Tree" and scored a record-breaking 90 points. She handed the microphone to Gu Pan with a smile. Gu Pan hummed, thinking, "Do you think you've won? Making me lose face isn't easy."

A clear and melodious voice filled the room, the difficult and melancholic "Red Bean" bringing the noisy room to a sudden silence as everyone listened to the beautiful song.

When Gu Pan finished, everyone applauded spontaneously. The song was beautiful, and her voice was close to the original singer. Her singing skills were impressive, earning everyone's admiration.

98 points!

This score was almost unbelievable.

Everyone looked at Gu Pan's microphone with fear. Who would get it? That person was sure to be embarrassed.

Gu Pan looked at Zheng Wen with a satisfied smile, sniffed, and showed a rare smile. Under everyone's gaze, she walked over and handed the microphone to Zheng Wen, smiling, "Next is you!"
