The game begins.\u201d Jessie trots over and continues, \u201cLeigh, why are you rubbing your butts? Do you have hemorrhoids?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHoney.\u201d Leigh pulls her into his arms, taking advantage of her soft body without any sign of uneasiness while saying with grievance, \u201cLouis instigated me to invite Daniel, but Daniel kicked me twice!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jessie strokes his head and asks with concern, \u201cDoes it hurt? Can you dance later?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt hurts.\u201d Leigh hums, \u201cBut I will definitely accompany you to dance and to play games. You will have all the things and cares that other girls have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Louis is rendered speechless.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Leigh must be a lunatic who just escaped from a madhouse.\u2019 Louis thinks to himself.<\/p>\n<p>The ball room is mainly of Morocco style with the dark red color as its main theme. The rock-and rock it plays is just appropriate. Young girls and boys are dancing in the center dancing pool. The atmosphere here is pleasant and lively.<\/p>\n<p>Lily is wearing a medieval court-styled blackish green long dress. With her hair loosely tied up and the Chanel pearl hairpin on the bun, she looks lazy and elegant.<\/p>\n<p>Her face was palm-sized and her facial features are quite immaculate. The lights keep flickering. When she\u2019s dancing, her dress swirls. Looking from aside, it\u2019s like a blackish green flower is blossoming in the dancing pool, which is quite fascinating.<\/p>\n<p>Louis looks at her with explicit praise in his eyes, \u201cMrs. Smith is so pretty tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you. Mr. Smith, you\u2019re so handsome too.\u201d Lily curls her lips into a smile.<\/p>\n<p>This man is really interesting. Every time he would send her the gift secretly, and when she wears it, he would praise it as if he\u2019s not the presenter.<\/p>\n<p>Won\u2019t he be tired of these tiny tricks?<\/p>\n<p>When the hot dance is over, the emcee walks onto the stage and tells everyone about the game they will play later and asks those who want to take part in to raise their hands. There are rewards for the game, and those who don\u2019t want to join in can watch by the side.<\/p>\n<p>This is a game call \u201cfind the target while being blindfolded.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A couple forms a group. The girls will be blindfolded and she needs to distinguish which one is her boyfriend from the coughs of the male participants and ask him to remove her blinder.<\/p>\n<p>The first couple to remove the blinder will be rewarded with a pair of \u2018love\u2019 diamond rings sponsored by YH.<\/p>\n<p>Just as the emcee tells them all the rules, Leigh, who is in the crowd, hastily raises his hand, \u201cI promise, I and my girlfriend will be the first couple to complete the task.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoo!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The people present all roll their eyes at him.<\/p>\n<p>Dozens of couples, including Lily and Louis as well as Stella and Daniel, raise their hands.<\/p>\n<p>The emcee asks the audience to leave the stage and turns to tell the participants that since it\u2019s not easy to divide 13 groups, they will have to play the game at the same time. Girls are required to stand behind the white line with their eyes covered. The game will begin when the first man standing opposite them coughs.<\/p>\n<p>All the men are not allowed to utter a word during the game, and those who violate this rule will be knocked out.<\/p>\n<p>Lily moans and groans secretly.<\/p>\n<p>Five couples in one group would be barely acceptable. But what the heck, there are thirteen couples in one group! It\u2019s really hard to find their own boyfriends even if the girls have sharp hearing, for the thirteen men standing opposite them would cough one by one!<\/p>\n<p>This game is really awful. If she has known the rules, she would have not raised her hand.<\/p>\n<p>During the preparation, Leigh yells at Jessie, \u201cHoney, my voice is quite recognizable. You must find me! If you choose the wrong one, you\u2019ll know what will happen when we\u2019re back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jessie flushes due to shyness and feels the urge to throw him a bottle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShut up!\u201d Jessie shouts.<\/p>\n<p>A waitress comes over and helps Lily to wear a blinder.<\/p>\n<p>The blinder is thick, thus Lily is soon engulfed by darkness. She feels nervous as she can\u2019t see anything.<\/p>\n<p>Twenty seconds later, the men opposite them begin to cough.<\/p>\n<p>The emcee has made clear of the rules before: they should cough in a low voice and in an unrecognizable manner rather than an exaggerated way.<\/p>\n<p>The first man coughs quite gently, and Lily is quite sure that he\u2019s not Louis. Several seconds later, she hears the cough of the second man. But it\u2019s still not Louis.<\/p>\n<p>Lily still fails to find Louis after distinguishing the coughs of several men, plus that she can\u2019t see anything, she subconsciously clenches her fists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAhem\u2026 Ahem\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The seventh man coughs in a low voice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJohn Dawn!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lily is annoyed and exerts great force to push him away. He caresses her cheek with his hot palm and rubs her lips with his fingers.<\/p>\n<p>Then his cold lips land on hers.<\/p>\n<p>The intimate touch stiffens Lily all over. She looks a bit dull, but the man\u2019s palm has been withdrawn from her cheek. He leaves quickly, only his footsteps can be heard.<\/p>\n<p>Lily hears the voice of the emcee, \u201cSorry everybody. There was a tripping just now. Those who use their phone to illumination will be disqualified. Other participants can continue the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The game continues. And the men opposite the girls begin to cough one by one.<\/p>\n<p>Lily calms herself down and gropes her way towards the Louis after distinguishing Louis\u2019 voice.<\/p>\n<p>After dozens of steps, her hand is grasped by him.<\/p>\n<p>When the blinder is taken away, she sees the smiling Louis. Louis praises her in a low voice, \u201cGood job, Mrs. Smith. You\u2019ve successfully finished the challenge. We are ranked the third.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought I was the first one to distinguish my boyfriend\u2019s voice.\u201d Lily is a bit disappointed, \u201cWhich couples win the first and the second places?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Louis raises his chin towards the left.<\/p>\n<p>Lily sees Stella and Daniel following the direction. The two of them are talking about something and it\u2019s obvious that they\u2019re in a good mood.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Jessie and Leigh, who are standing near them, are quarreling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s all your fault!\u201d Jessie pokes at Leigh\u2019s chest and blames him in a fury, \u201cThey just asked you to cough in a low voice. What the fuck were you doing? Why did you press your throat why coughing? Is it cool?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBabe, don\u2019t be angry with me. I was wrong. I just want to test your hearing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTest your ass. Do you think I\u2019m a robot? It\u2019s all your fault. We could get the first place, but because of you, we lost the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Leigh comforts her, \u201cIt\u2019s okay, Babe. It\u2019s good that we got the second place. Honey, you\u2019re really great! Look at Lily and Louis. They hardly got the third place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLeigh, I heard it.\u201d Louis looks over sharply, \u201cAre you trying to take us as a foil to you?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2224","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2224","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2224"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
