1229 I Want to Make You Stay 107 (2/2)
”Yes?”
”Don't go overboard.”
She sat up and said, ”Shall we play a game of dice? If I win, you'll have to grant my requests, and if you win, you may make a request of me too. However, you're not allowed to cancel the pact that we had made earlier.”
Seemingly having guessed her intentions, he said, ”Don't tell me, you're suggesting that we play this game just so you could touch me.”
An Xiaoning let out an evil chuckle and said, ”And many more… Are you afraid?”
”No, I just don't want to play such a low-class game with you…”
”Just admit it if you're afraid. Why do you have to undermine my suggestion? Since you don't want to play, let's turn off the lights and go to bed,” said An Xiaoning.
”Are you going to agree to all my requests?”
”Yes, on the condition that you win the game. However, like I said, you're not allowed to call off the pact we had made earlier.”
”Will you abide accordingly, even if I make you run naked on the streets, or make you drink urine, or force you to eat a toad?”
An Xiaoning pursed her lips and said, ”Will you actually make such requests?”
”You never know. Didn't you say that I'd be allowed to make any requests? What's wrong? Are you afraid?” Henry asked with raised brows.
”What a joke. Why would I be afraid when I was the one who suggested it?” said An Xiaoning who was, however, feeling rather uncertain. What if he really makes me do those things? That'd be terrible.
Henry looked at her and wondered what she was pondering about silently.
After a minute of silence, he sat up and said, ”Game on.”
”Are you sure?”
”The probability of me winning is half. Anyway, I shall make things clear beforehand. If you lose, I might really make you do those things that I mentioned just now.”
Despite feeling a little scared, An Xiaoning answered, ”Alright, then, wait for Fan Shixin to bring the dice here.”
....
Five minutes later, they sat cross-legged facing each other, a square blanket in between them. An Xiaoning held the dices in her hand.
She quickly readjusted the mask on her face when it almost fell off.
They played with two dices.
”Do you want to go first?”
”I'll go first.”
”We'll decide who goes first after a round of rock, paper, scissors.”
”… Alright.”
Henry won and got to go first.
He grabbed the dices from her hand and threw them.
At this moment, An Xiaoning prayed in her head, Small, small, small, small, small, small!
However…
The two dices added up to eleven.
An Xiaoning could only win if both her dices added up to twelve.
All of a sudden, she felt like all hope was lost. She grabbed the dices and took a look again. She could not help but feel a little disgruntled upon the sight of Henry staring at her with a sinister smile. Despite knowing that her chances of winning were slim, she still carried some hope and prayed that she would get lucky. Thus, she grabbed the dices and threw them.
