Chapter 180: Jessica And Lin Xiuyuan’s “enemies On A Narrow Road”
As Krystal spoke up, everyone discussed it for a bit and finally agreed.
After all, a party without playing some little games would be too dull.
Because of the previous light music segment, after everyone returned to the U-shaped sofa area, the atmosphere was much more cheerful than when they first entered.
The sound of clinking wine glasses and light laughter echoed in the air, filling the entire space with joy.
At this time, Lin Xiuyuan, who had been sitting at the bar counter all evening, was also called over by Krystal and walked to the sofa to sit down.
Then Krystal slightly pursed her lips, lightly smiling as she scanned everyone present, her gaze finally settling on Jessica.
She then lightly clapped her hands to draw everyone’s attention and began introducing the game rules.
“Everyone knows King’s Game, right? The rules are simple: everyone takes turns drawing lots, and the one who draws the king can issue commands. Others must obey, or accept punishment if they don’t.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lee Ji-eun next to her immediately raised her hand, seeming quite experienced.
“There’s one issue, Soo Jung. Do we need to leave a card for the king? If it’s just the king issuing commands, it doesn’t seem fun. How about leaving a hidden card? Whoever is king takes that card, in case the king pits themselves.”
“That works, that’s fun.” Im Yoon Ah got excited as soon as she heard it and nodded in agreement.
The others all said it was fine; it was just a game, no big deal.
At this moment, Big Dragon Cub also drew nine cards from the nearby playing cards pile.
They were the king card and number cards 1 to 8. Then she shuffled them and placed them face down on the coffee table. “Alright, we can start now.”
The next second, everyone’s hands quickly reached out to grab cards. Soon, only one card remained on the table, and everyone held one in hand, then lowered their heads to look at their cards.
Immediately after, Lin Xiuyuan’s eyes lit up with a surprised smile as he slapped his king card on the table. “Looks like the goddess of luck favors me today.”
After Lin Xiuyuan revealed the king, everyone hid their own cards, faces showing expectant smiles, eyes focused on him, eager to hear what interesting punishment he would give.
Under the spotlight, Lin Xiuyuan first asked, “Let me clarify first: anyone who’ll blush, speak up now. Don’t wait until the punishment is given, then refuse and get mad. Let’s set a bottom line.”
Facing Lin Xiuyuan’s statement, everyone exchanged glances and shook their heads.
“No bottom line, we’re playing. If it’s really inappropriate, we’ll refuse ourselves and accept everyone’s punishment.”
“Yeah, yeah, just say yours.”
“Hurry up.”
Seeing everyone in agreement, Lin Xiuyuan stopped hesitating and smiled, saying, “Perfect, everyone here is an idol. So number one and two go to the stage area: one performs, two is the background, perform Ji-yeon’s 《One Minute One Second》.”
As soon as Lin Xiuyuan finished, everyone’s amused gazes focused on him, and a few couldn’t hold back their laughter.
“Xiuyuan, you just want to see it yourself, right?” Sweet Eun-jung said with a smile.
Im Yoon Ah also teasingly glanced at him. “And Ji-yeon’s 《One Minute One Second》, with the original singer right here. You might as well assign specific tasks.”
“That won’t do, it has to follow the game rules.” Big Dragon Cub, who was called out, smiled slightly.
At the same time, she noted this in her mind, then looked up at Lin Xiuyuan, her gaze full of intimacy.
After teasing Lin Xiuyuan, everyone revealed their card numbers.
Im Yoon Ah number 3, Big Dragon Cub number 5, Lee Ji-eun number 7… Jessica number 1, Kim Tae Yeon number 2.
Seeing this, everyone’s eyes filled with expectation and excitement.
Especially Big Dragon Cub, her lips curved up slightly. This was her first time seeing Girls’ Generation dance to her choreography, so she was quietly looking forward to the performance.
Jessica and Kim Tae Yeon exchanged a glance, both showing a bit of helplessness, but unable to back out, they sighed and headed to the small stage.
“Do we really have to perform 《One Minute One Second》?”
On the way, Kim Tae Yeon asked softly, seeming awkward about the song choice. “Sulli, do you know how to dance it? Or just accept everyone’s punishment.”
“We can’t back out right at the start.”
Hearing Kim Tae Yeon, Jessica muttered, then thought of something and turned back to the group. “I only know that little hip-shake part, nothing else. Does that count? If not, we’ll take the punishment.”
“It counts, it counts. Xiuyuan, right?”
The most eager Im Yoon Ah quickly squeezed next to Lin Xiuyuan, poking his arm with a soft, cute expression that made him laugh. He nodded quickly. “It counts, okay?”
“Xiuyuan, you’re the best, hehe~” Getting the answer she wanted, Im Yoon Ah happily returned to her spot.
But her instant acting cute gave quite a few people huge pressure and sense of crisis.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiuyuan found the chorus of 《One Minute One Second》 in the music app, looked at the two on stage, and hit play.
As the music started, Kim Tae Yeon stood in place, a bit stiff as background, her gaze involuntarily turning to Jessica in front.
One in a knit vest, the other in a sleeveless vest, both with form-fitting tops that looked youthful and full of energy.
As the music rhythm advanced, Jessica looked away, leaning virtually against Kim Tae Yeon, twisting her hips.
With each rotation, cheers erupted from the sofa side, loudest from Im Yoon Ah, Big Dragon Cub, and Lee Ji-eun.
Lin Xiuyuan stared wide-eyed at Jessica’s slim waist under her vest, his mind flashing to that classic GIF screenshot from 《I Got A Boy》.
As the owner of a divine abs-waist, even after ten years, that charm and sexiness hadn’t faded, but grown more alluring.
With the music melody, Jessica’s moves unfolded: hip twists, circles, backbend, paired with that slightly teasing gaze.
Even if her moves were a bit rusty, that familiar charm remained intense, undiminished.
Even Lee Ji-eun, after watching, immediately looked at Big Dragon Cub. “Hiss, Ji-yeon, why do I feel Sulli’s gaze is even more seductive?”
Big Dragon Cub replied, “I dance it even more seductively now, unnie, believe it?”
“I believe, I believe, haha.”
The two laughed while the music rhythm pulled them back into the game.
As the music neared its end, the dozen seconds passed in a flash, and Jessica quickly stepped off the stage.
Kim Tae Yeon looked down at her white vest, as if sniffing the air’s aura, her mood subtly changing from the performance.
With the performance over, everyone clapped. Jessica grabbed the playing cards offstage, reshuffled them, tossed them back on the table, and the game restarted.
This round, everyone grabbed cards quickly again. Lin Xiuyuan looked at his and found the goddess of luck had left him for the just-named Jessica.
Jessica smiled lightly at him. “Want the king card? It’s with me.”
“Then say it. You might not pick me anyway.” Lin Xiuyuan shrugged, unconcerned.
The slightly excited Jessica’s smile faded at his words. She pursed her lips, scanning the others hiding their cards.
Helplessly, she randomly said a punishment. “Then number 3 holds an ice cube in their mouth until the next round ends.”
The second Jessica said it, the previously calm Lin Xiuyuan lost his smile, looking at her in surprise. “No way, did you peek at my card?”
He flipped his card: the three of hearts plain for all to see.
Jessica instantly lit up. “Oh ho, randomly picked and hit you. Honor the bet, go on.”
Lin Xiuyuan gave her a deep look, then went to the bar counter, took a big mouthful of ice cubes, and returned to his seat.
Then he gathered the cards and started the next round.
This round, Lin Xiuyuan was quick and grabbed the king card, slamming it down hard, staring straight at Jessica.
She immediately covered her card, eyes panicked, not daring to speak.
Lin Xiuyuan took a deep breath, smiled, and said in a husky voice, “Number 2, catch the ice cube I spit out with your hands.”
“Eww, gross.” Big Dragon Cub said it, but smiled; after all, she’d caught milk before.
The others started jeering, teasing Lin Xiuyuan’s punishment.
Only Jessica’s face changed instantly, shocked at Lin Xiuyuan. “Hey, Lin Xiuyuan, did you peek at my card?”
“Yo, honor the bet.” Lin Xiuyuan raised a brow.
Jessica took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, extended both hands in front of Lin Xiuyuan.
Lin Xiuyuan didn’t hesitate, spitting the ice cube from his mouth onto her hands.
Luckily, it hadn’t fully melted, but the chill and saliva made Jessica bolt straight to the bathroom, hearing Lin Xiuyuan’s cheerful laughter behind her.
From then on, it was like they were fated rivals; Lin Xiuyuan and Jessica’s punishment game heated up.
Whenever Jessica got the king card, she cleverly made Lin Xiuyuan take the punishment.
For example, making him dip watermelon in mustard, leaving him choking with a red face.
Or take off his socks and wear them on his head; Lin Xiuyuan in slippers could only look silly.
Or hold ice water in his mouth and sing, ending up spraying himself all over.
Similarly, when Lin Xiuyuan got king, he always picked Jessica.
Like making her balance a beverage bottle on her butt and write in the air; Jessica twisted more intensely than in 《One Minute One Second》.
Or blindfolded fruit eating, making Jessica get her most hated melon.
Even holding her breath in a water basin for 30 seconds, “washing” off her makeup, leaving Jessica furious enough to fight Lin Xiuyuan to the death.
But ultimately she held back, wiped the water from her face, reshuffled the cards on the table, eyes locked on Lin Xiuyuan.
Nearby, Im Yoon Ah drew a card casually, lips twitching helplessly. “What’s going on tonight? It’s all you two playing; do the rest not participate?”
She looked down at her card, expression turning surprised. “Oh oh oh, this time I’m king.”
She revealed it, and everyone looked at her.
Im Yoon Ah stated her pre-planned demand. “Hehehe, this time I’ll go big: numbers 4 and 6 hug each other, faces pressed together until the next round ends.”
Right after, Jessica’s voice: “I’m 4.”
Then Lin Xiuyuan: “Fuck, I’m 6.”
As they spoke, the crowd’s gazes turned even more teasing.
Some expectant, some worried, some just watching the show.
Anyway, this game was clearly far from over…
