Chapter 1
My girlfriend, Lucy, drew a dare. She kissed her childhood friend, Brian, for a minute, ignoring my threat to break up with her.
I drew a dare, which read, [Spend a night with someone of the opposite sex present.]
I chose the obedient girl, Estelle Berg.
"Let him be. He's just a traditional man. He is so conservative."
The next day, Lucy came to me with red eyes.
"Why is it Estelle who answered the call last night? Are you together?"
----
Lucy Shawn got a big deal done for her company.
She was celebrating it at a bar.
Upon walking into the bar, I saw Lucy sitting with a group of her girlfriends.
"Here he is! Lucy's boyfriend, Henry Lawson, is so handsome! Oh my god, his figure is too good! His chest muscles and abs render him like someone coming out of a comic book! This time, we're feasting our eyes!"
"Lucy, you are enjoying yourself so well!"
Lucy's girlfriends were all excited.
They were staring straight at me as if they wanted something from me.
Lucy especially reminded me to dress hotly today.
"But I'm a man. I don't know how to be sexy."
In the end, Lucy couldn't bear it anymore.
She pulled out a black shirt directly from the wardrobe and handed it to me.
"Wear this one! Unbutton two buttons and show your collarbone. That's enough. I signed a big contract today and invited the company's heiress to come and have fun. Make sure to make a good impression!"
I looked down and saw the shirt with a ridiculously low collar.
"But I will try my best to fulfill Lucy's request."
"After all, I sincerely love her."
Lucy enjoyed this kind of attention. She waved at me with a smile.
Lucy introduced me to a man opposite.
Before I could react, Lucy pulled me over and pressed me next to her.
"Let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend. How about him? He is not bad, right?"
Lucy took the opportunity to hold my arm and almost clung to me.
I moved my body awkwardly.
But Lucy seemed not to feel it, holding my arm tightly.
She didn't usually do this.
The man opposite smiled at me.
I knew him.
He was Brian Hunt as well as Lucy's childhood sweetheart.
Lucy always told me that they were just good friends and good buddies, saying there was no romantic relationship between them.
"But I know that her eyes are evasive when Lucy says this."
Brian was startled by Lucy's sudden move.
His hand, holding the wine glass, paused noticeably. He became somewhat unnatural.
He pretended to be calm and took a sip of wine, his Adam's apple rolling up and down. It was revealed that he didn't mean what he said. The statement that he and Lucy were just buddies was a false one.
"Lucy is using me to make him jealous."
I sighed gently.
I didn't want to spoil her excitement of signing a big contract today. I smiled at everyone present.
Chapter 2
Lucy pulled a girl over and almost stuffed her into my arms.
I wondered what she meant.
"What does she mean by pushing other women onto her boyfriend?"
The girl seemed a little shy. She hid behind Lucy timidly.
This is Estelle Berg, the precious daughter of the boss of the deal-signing company today. She just graduated. I brought her to see the world. You must take good care of her!"
Lucy casually introduced Estelle.
The people around her all expressed their agreement.
"Come on, let's play something exciting. Truth or dare!"
Lucy took out a deck of cards from somewhere and enthusiastically invited everyone.
The playing cards were passed around in the crowd. Finally, they stopped in front of Lucy.
Someone shouted, "Oh, our protagonist is lucky today!"
...
Lucy pretended to be coquettish and rolled her eyes.
She drew a card.
"Kissing number 13 for one minute."
Everyone held their breath and looked at number 13.
It was Brian.
He sat there, looking gloomy.
"Lucy is my girlfriend. How can I tolerate another man kissing her?"
I stood up suddenly.
"Let me do it for her!"
The people around cheered.
"No, the rule of the game is no substitute!"
Brian took a deep breath and stood up.
He walked silently to the front of Lucy.
But Lucy acted as if nothing had happened.
Turning his head, Brian said to me, "It's nothing. We are playing around with friends. Don't take it seriously."
I became anxious.
"Lucy, we'll break up if you kiss him."
Lucy was stunned for a moment. Then, she impatiently waved her hand.
"Oh, come on. Are you annoyed? It's just a game. Stop making a fuss."
After saying that, she turned her head, closed her eyes, and tilted her face up.
Brian provocatively glanced at me. Then he lowered his head and kissed Lucy's lips.
I felt my blood flowing backward. My heart seemed to be tightly held by an invisible hand. I almost couldn't breathe.
They kissed for a whole minute.
After a minute, I felt a burst of chill all over my body.
Chapter 3
The second round of truth or dare continued.
It was my turn this round.
I drew another card from the table.
[Choose to spend a night alone with a member of the opposite sex, who is present.]
I read the content on the card and sneered in my heart.
"Oh, this is interesting!"
Lucy hugged my arm tightly, almost pressing her whole body against mine. She laughed so hard that his whole body trembled.
"Does he need to choose one? Of course, I will spoil my boyfriend!"
As she spoke, she glanced towards Brian.
She did so to make him jealous.
I shook off her hand.
Indifferently, I said, "It says I should take the initiative."
I looked around. Finally, my gaze fell on the quiet girl in the corner.
Estelle, a boss's daughter, was brought here by Lucy to see the world.
She seemed scared by the chaotic scene in front of her. Huddling in the corner of the sofa, she lowered her head and nervously twisted her clothes.
I walked up to her and reached out my hand to her.
"Let's go."
Estelle looked up in surprise. She looked at me and then at Lucy. While her eyes were full of confusion.
"I..." She stammered.
"Let's go..."
I grabbed her hand and pulled her up from the sofa decisively.
...
Lucy finally realized something was wrong. She shouted, "Hey, what are you doing?"
I ignored her and pulled Estelle out.
"Hey! Come back here!"
Lucy shouted angrily.
Her girlfriends saw that something was wrong.
They said, "Hurry up and chase after him!"
"If you don't, he'll run away!"
Lucy sat on the sofa and crossed her legs.
She said indifferently, "Why chase after him? Don't I know him well? His parents are both highly educated individuals. How could he possibly do something out of line? Besides, he still needs my support in terms of his career."
She picked up a glass of wine and sneered.
"Estelle is a good girl too. They are both pretending to be serious and conservative. Let him be."
