IP Chapter 53.1
Incurable Pain | Chapter 53.1
Yu Luoyin was the class monitor in high school, unquestionably the ‘leader’ among the classmates. He was also the best embodiment of the words ‘prodigy of the heavens’ in everyone’s minds.
His words always had an inexplicable convincing power, whether in the past or present.
When people saw Yu Luoyin’s expression darken and heard him speak without much politeness, they subconsciously felt a chill in their hearts and quickly avoided causing trouble here, laughing and walking over to the barbecue table.
With tears still lingering in her eyes and a heart full of resentment, Sheng Churan was also pulled away by the girl next to her.
In a moment, the crowded corner was suddenly left with only a few familiar faces.
Bai Xunyin nudged Ah Mo, gesturing for her to go ahead, then turned her head and looked at Yu Luoyin with a pair of clear eyes.
“Thank you.”
Yu Luoyin raised an eyebrow. “Thank you for what?”
“Just now…” Bai Xunyin pursed her lips, a dimple appearing on her cheek.
“Those bunch of nobodies.”
If it weren’t for Yu Luoyin’s help as an ‘authority figure’, Sheng Churan might have continued to bother her using public opinion.
Sure enough, a man of culture, describing the onlookers in such an artistic manner.
Yu Luoyin couldn’t help but chuckle when he saw the clearly amused Bai Xunyin. After six years, the girl was still mischievous.
Unconsciously, the atmosphere between the two of them wasn’t as tense as it had been during their previous meetings.
Yu Luoyin leaned in slightly, whispering, “Feeling better after letting it out just now?”
He knew Bai Xunyin had always had a barrier against Sheng Churan, or more precisely, it wasn’t a grudge against Sheng Churan but against the difficult times of her youth.
Every person who had been bullied would have the thought of facing the bully and fighting back when they looked back in the midnight hour.
Sheng Churan, the initiator, dared to come and cause trouble again. Fortunately, the girl wasn’t a saint and was able to fight back decisively.
“Yeah.”
Bai Xunyin smiled and honestly admitted, “It was quite refreshing.”
Especially watching Sheng Churan pretending to be innocent in public but feeling uncomfortable inside – she wasn’t the Virgin Mary, only loyal to her true emotions.
Yu Luoyin combined a few tables on the second floor into a large round table, with three or four grills on top. Although people were somewhat crowded around, the atmosphere was lively.
However, after a few rounds of drinking, some troublemakers who loved to stir things up during their school days suggested playing a game.
“Eating and drinking alone is boring, let’s play a game.”
Someone tapped their chopsticks on the plate, making a harsh sound, and amid the chaos, their voice was particularly loud. “Let’s play ‘Truth or Dare’ with a dice!”
Hearing this, everyone joined in the clamor, almost overturning the roof with their noise.
…
Bai Xunyin silently nibbled on her skewer, her brow lightly furrowed.
She clearly didn’t like such a noisy environment.
Yu Luoyin sat two seats away from her, but he could still clearly capture the subtle expressions on her face. He nudged Lu Ye beside him.
Receiving his ‘signal’, Lu Ye had no choice but to come out and placate these crazy people.
“Stop making noise, you’re scaring people… Let’s just play Truth or Dare!”
This was an enduring ‘entertainment’ on both friend gatherings and class reunions.
Simple and easy to understand, yet stimulating, and everyone could participate.
Soon, a classmate found an empty beer bottle and placed it in the center of the large round table. The rules were simple – take turns spinning the bottle, and whoever it pointed to would have to fulfill a request.
If the person chosen doesn’t want to do either Truth or Dare, then they have to drink.
“Damn.”
As a result, Ah Mo was the first to be ‘chosen’, and she looked angrily at the classmate across from her who spun the bottle carelessly, her watery eyes glaring at them.
“You’re really lucky, huh?”
The male classmate blinked innocently, “Big sis Mo, don’t blame me, I just spun randomly!”
Actually, this was Bai Xunyin’s first time attending such a ‘vulgar’ drinking party and the first time seeing a multiplayer version of Truth or Dare. When she saw Ah Mo being chosen, she became curious and leaned on her chin, focusing intently.
She heard Ah Mo sigh somewhat helplessly, “Let’s go with truth then.”
“Alright.”
The male classmate had many mischievous ideas in mind. After rolling his eyes mischievously, he asked, “Big sis Mo, you have to tell the truth. What’s the most intimate level you’ve reached with your boyfriend? Just tell us how many bases.”
…
Everyone present was in their mid-twenties, and Bai Xunyin speculated that they wouldn’t be as ‘innocent’ as they were in high school. But when she suddenly heard such a bold question, she couldn’t help but be stunned.
After all, this was in front of everyone. Bai Xunyin couldn’t help but feel angry for Ah Mo.
But the others at the table weren’t as ‘conservative’ as Bai Xunyin. They didn’t think it was a big deal at all and eagerly watched Ah Mo, waiting to see how she would answer.
Ah Mo took a sip of her drink and lightly covered Sheng Wen’s hand, which had some veins popping out, under the table, calmly saying, “I’m very pure, just some kissing.”
Her answer immediately drew a round of murmurs.
In modern society, with mature men and women, could such ‘innocence’ still exist? Many didn’t believe it, but since Ah Mo had answered like that, they couldn’t force her to continue questioning and had to move on to the next person.
After witnessing how the game was played, Bai Xunyin lost interest.
They didn’t believe Ah Mo’s answer, insisting that what they thought was the truth. It was simply ridiculous arrogance.
This kind of vulgar gathering, games, filled with the self-proclaimed ‘adults’ chatting away, were full of themselves. After a few rounds, Bai Xunyin found it extremely boring.
Bai Xunyin had already eaten her fill and was leaning back in her chair, coldly observing the seemingly lively drinking party, looking for an opportunity to leave…
But unfortunately, the bottle pointed in her direction.
The scene fell silent for a few seconds.
Even the classmate who accidentally spun the bottle towards Bai Xunyin scratched his head, feeling a bit at a loss.
Because Bai Xunyin’s ‘contrast’ today was too strong, her talk about modeling theory that sounded incomprehensible and her confrontational attitude towards Sheng Churan made people feel that she was not someone to mess with.
The classmate felt unlucky. Finally, it was his turn to spin, but he ended up with Bai Xunyin, who didn’t know what to ask or demand.
And Bai Xunyin had just been watching for a while and understood the ‘rules’ of the game. She had to reluctantly put down her bag and dismiss the idea of leaving, awkwardly speaking up.
“Um, I’ll choose truth.”
She was trying to give the silent atmosphere a way out, and there were whispers around her again.
