Chapter 227 Gaels dare to Lexi (1/2)
”Why don't we double dare that, Eli?” Smiling, Gael Zhang called for a double dare that implied he and the person who dared him must do it together. ”I think with both of us, we can channel the rain here.” He humored.
”And videos of you together summoning the rain would be all over the news the next day!” Grinning, Rika Song uttered in a matter of fact tone. Although she wanted to see that happen, she somehow liked both guys as friends.
”*sigh* Scratch that, I'm kidding. Wait, Let me think…” Sighing heavily, Elliot Gong pondered as he thought of another dare that could replace the first one. As he contemplated on his dare, Elliot Gong also reflected on his life choices and why did he even comply with this crazy Rika Song's demands… right, it was because Lexi joined and he the mighty repellant must protect her.
”Until the next two rounds, talk super loud, like nobody can hear you.”
”Okay!” Immediately, Gael Zhang executed the dare as he responded in a higher tone as if no one could hear him no matter how loud his pitch was.
”Good, hehe. Keep it that way.” Smugly chuckling, Elliot Gong somehow felt amused by this game. How he wished he could play this game with Ethan Lu and dare him to stop pestering him from being Lexi's shield.
”My turn now!” Gael Zhang announced which made the rest let out a chuckle as he was literally shouting. Fortunately, it was only them who could witness and hear this ridiculousness.
Just as he declared his turn, Gael Zhang spun the bottle without any force. It only spun a few laps before it stopped at one of their colleagues. The game went on and on with all the embarrassing truth questions and ridiculous dares. There were also times some of them got penalties from not completing the dare or telling an obvious lie. Hence, as penalties, they were forced to drink twice as much wine as usual.
Most of the penalties were dawned to Rika who enjoyed drinking more than telling the truth or doing a dare, especially if it was from Elliot Gong who had been waiting for an opportunity to get back at her.
At this point, it was Gael Zhang's turn to spin the bottle and ask truth or dare to whomever the bottle points at. Since they had been playing this game, none of them realized that they'd been playing for more than an hour and already had a few drinks.
The bottle slowly stopped and finally, Gael Zhang's most awaited time finally came; the bottle stopped and pointed at Lexi. Although Lexi had been asked several times since she always chose truth— Gael Zhang never had a chance to ask her any questions.
”It's Miss Yang again!”
”Hehe, Miss Yang, choose dare this time to spice things up!
”Yes yes! Choose dare this time”
”Nonsense! She can choose whatever she likes!” Displeased by the crowds pleas, Elliot Gong sassed as if he was Lexi's mother. Turning to Lexi's giggling figure, Elliot Gong reassured.
”Don't give in to peer pressure— choose truth!”
”Uh, Eli? Aren't you pressuring her as well?” Rolling her eyes, the corner of Churu's lips twitched. It was obvious that Elliot Gong was preventing Lexi from doing some crazy dares just like the rest of them— afraid about his career and life if Ethan Lu knew about it.
”Sorry, Eli. I choose dare.” Giving Elliot Gong's ugly countenance a sorry stare, Lexi giggled as she chose dare this time.
”!!!” Rendered speechless yet, his mind turned chaotic, Elliot Gong gasped in disbelief. He was akin to a guardian angel looking at her life decision.
”Yeeey! That's what we're talking about!”
”Bestie~! You're doing a dare?” Widening her eyes, Rika pulled Lexi's arm to her. ”That's fine if the person asking you to do it is me or anyone here but not Gael.” Under her breath, Rika Song shot a disgusted glare at the mischievous smirk on the corner of Gael Zhang's lips.
