Sure enough, compared to ten minutes ago, the number of comments and likes on Moments skyrocketed.
Princess Yu Yao even felt that a nine-grid collage wasn’t enough... Too bad WeChat doesn’t have an eighteen-grid option.
The Moments posts from Yu Meng, Sunny, and others were almost the same, with captions like "A chance encounter with Mr. Zhou in Paris," "Miss Yang is really nice," "Miss Di is stunning," and so on.
At first, the drinking atmosphere was relatively relaxed. It’s said that three women make a play, but with nine women here, that’s a hundred minds at work. So everyone appeared quite reserved, and the conversation topics were mostly trivial—
"You’re Endme, right? Your skin is so smooth, what brand of skincare do you use?"
"Miss Di, how did you become a star?"
"Mr. Zhou, do you think it’s bad for girls to smoke?"
Essentially, it all stayed at the level of small talk, although Zhou Wang could sense that, probably because of his presence, everyone except the relatively quiet Ji Xiaoxi was trying hard to find topics and keep the gathering lively. Still, after listening for a while, Zhou Wang was bored to the point of yawning.
Indeed, you can’t just drink without any activity...
So Zhou Wang decisively suggested playing a game together, which quickly received enthusiastic responses. Even Miss Yang, who had been lazily leaning on the sofa, sat up and asked with interest,
"What game are we playing?"
"Dice?"
Zhou Wang probed.
"Boring."
"How about touring three gardens? Or the lady card game?"
"Childish."
"Truth or dare?"
"Oh, Zhou Wang, are you serious? Who still plays that these days..."
Seeing all his suggestions swiftly rejected by Miss Yang, Zhou Wang was momentarily speechless, internally complaining that he did know some games that weren’t childish and were quite novel, like "Mountain and Stream" or "Russian Roulette," but he feared she wouldn’t want to play with him!
It was rare to see Zhou Wang rendered speechless, and the other women couldn’t help but snicker. Zhou Wang helplessly spread his hands,
"Come on, Sister Mi, you decide. What should we play?"
"I’ve hardly been to bars; why ask me?"
Miss Yang innocently shook her head.
"Knew I couldn’t rely on you either."
Zhou Wang dismissed her with a wave of his hand, then turned, smiling at another girl, saying, "Good thing we have a professional here... Yu Meng, it’s up to you."
"Oh, Mr. Zhou... Actually, I don’t really go to bars often either."
Yu Meng hesitated, then quickly feigned shyness.
"Come on, don’t tell me you and Tong Jingcheng didn’t meet at a bar, right?"
Zhou Wang scoffed immediately, "And if I remember correctly, last time at my house, it was you, Miss Xiao Cheng, Nai Gai, and the others who were the wildest, right?"
Exposed by Zhou Wang without mercy and with Sunny and others laughing uproariously nearby, Yu Meng stopped pretending and straightened her not-so-impressive chest.
"Let’s do it, but let’s agree first, no sore losers!"
"There’s no kids here; who’s afraid?"
"Exactly. At worst, just drink; what’s there to lose?"
A group of girls chimed in, and none seemed inclined to back out.
"Alright then, if we’re playing something exciting, let’s go with the nightclub style..."
Hearing Yu Meng say this, several girls looked eager to try, and what surprised Zhou Wang was that this included the usually quiet Ji Xiaoxi.
But soon Zhou Wang understood; a nightclub is a place a well-behaved girl like Ji Xiaoxi, raised strictly, would never visit, so how could she not be curious?
"What’s the nightclub style game?"
Even Miss Di, who had been merely smiling slightly, couldn’t help but ask.
"It’s super simple; just follow Yu Yao and me... But first, we need to get hyped!"
Yu Meng grinned at Zhou Wang, "Boss, some music, please?"
"OK!"
Understanding the cue, Zhou Wang snapped his fingers to call the butler, who, after receiving instructions, immediately activated the room’s surround sound system.
As the music started playing, Zhou Wang listened for a few seconds and felt it wasn’t quite right. He quickly connected his Bluetooth and played a DJ playlist with over a hundred thousand loops saved. As the iconic intro of the remix version of "Tokyo" (from Fast & Furious 3) started, Zhou Wang knew...
Tonight was set.
Sure enough, not only Yu Meng and Yu Yao, who had already gotten into the mood, but the others also couldn’t help but start swaying slightly.
"Stand up, everyone, stand up!"
Yu Meng extended her hands, getting everyone to stand.
When ten people stood in a circle around the coffee table, the chandelier in the middle of the living room suddenly went out, leaving only the spotlights on the ceiling rotating. The girls let out a chorus of exclamations but couldn’t contain their excitement.
It really did start to feel a bit like a nightclub...
The only issue was that they didn’t have enough drinks.
At this point, Yu Meng shouted, "Let’s start with the basics!"
Saying this, Yu Meng was the first to hold her palm flat and raise it to the top of her head. Yu Yao understood and was the first to reach out her hand, placing her index finger against Yu Meng’s palm.
"This game is called finger catching. For those who don’t know, just follow Yu Yao. I do an action, and everyone has to follow. The slowest or those who make a mistake have to drink. Before we start, I’ll show the gesture: a thumb up means the winner drinks, a thumb down means the loser drinks, and the number of fingers raised indicates how many drinks..."
After Yu Meng’s simple explanation, having played once before, Zhou Wang joined in, placing his finger against Yu Meng’s palm.
