Chapter 44 - 44 043 Changlings Desire for Destruction and Sadism

Chapter 44: 043: Changling’s Desire for Destruction and Sadism Chapter 44: 043: Changling’s Desire for Destruction and Sadism “Are you afraid of getting drunk?” she asked, handing one of the cups to Xie Shang.

Xie Shang replied, “Not afraid.”

Then Wen Changling explained the rules, which were very simple, “Whoever draws the higher number can ask the other person a question. If they refuse to answer, they must drink as many cups as the difference in points.”

The rules were simple, but the stakes were high.

Xie Shang glanced at the cup in front of him, “I have a pretty average tolerance for alcohol.”

What he meant was: with such a large cup, what is Miss Wen thinking?

Miss Wen earnestly suggested, “Then you should answer the questions seriously.”

“You’re quite the player,” Xie Shang said as he shuffled the cards, “Let’s start.”

Wen Changling courteously said, “You draw first.”

Xie Shang casually picked one and turned it over: 3.

Wen Changling drew a 5.

Xie Shang, his hand braced against the bamboo bed, leaned slightly backward.

His attitude was relaxed, with no sign of apprehension.

In his reckless youth, he felt the sky was only so high and there was nothing he wouldn’t try, nothing he wouldn’t dare to play with. There was this insane heartbeat game at the underground racing track in the west of the city where two racers would speed toward each other, and whoever braked or swerved first would lose. He had never lost in that brutal game.

As long as he dared to play, he could afford to lose.

“Ask away.”

Wen Changling’s first question was not very aggressive, “How many girlfriends have you had?”

“None.”

Xie Shang drew again. In the second round, he drew a 9, a high number.

Xie Shang asked, “Do you prefer sunny days or cloudy days?”

Wen Changling was briefly stunned, surprised by the question Xie Shang asked.

She answered, “Cloudy days.”

In the next round, Xie Shang won again.

“What color do you like?”

His second question still had no edge to it, as if he was truly just playing with her, not prying, unmotivated.

Wen Changling answered, “White.”
