Chapter Seven: The Innocent Female Streamer Who Captivates Thousands (7)
Yun Sui-sui hurriedly retorted, her face flushing, "I—I didn't!"
Seeing Yun Sui-sui like this, Pei Zhi-qiu couldn't help but laugh, clearly in a very good mood.
"Brother Pei, who is this? I've never seen you bring a girl around before," a man in a work uniform asked, looking toward Pei Zhi-qiu.
"Not a girlfriend," Pei Zhi-qiu met Yun Sui-sui’s beautiful eyes, then shifted his tone, "Just a very unexpected young lady."
Pei Zhi-qiu recalled the day this little girl had followed him alone into an adult store.
"Bring her a 'Maiden’s Love'."
"Got it, Brother Pei. And for you, the usual?"
"Yeah."
Pei Zhi-qiu looked at Yun Sui-sui, his tone laced with teasing, "Stay close to me. I won't be held responsible if you get lost and get snatched up by bad guys."
Yun Sui-sui glared at Pei Zhi-qiu. Did he think she was a child? She was a grown adult, for heaven's sake!
Yun Sui-sui followed Pei Zhi-qiu into a private room. Inside sat three attractive men and three attractive women. They were standing with their hands on their hips, spinning a wine bottle on the table. As Pei Zhi-qiu and Yun Sui-sui entered, all eyes turned toward them.
"Brother Pei, why are you back? Didn't you think it was boring? And what's the situation with this pretty little fairy next to you?"
"Don't ask."
Pei Zhi-qiu took Yun Sui-sui and sat in the center. The room erupted in cheers and jeers.
"Looks like our Brother Pei’s iron tree has finally bloomed!"
"As expected, the woman Brother Pei fancies is a true beauty."
Pei Zhi-qiu leaned lazily against the sofa and turned to look at the slightly reserved Yun Sui-sui beside him. "Not going to introduce yourself?"
Yun Sui-sui stood up, glanced at the people sitting on both sides, and said softly, "Hello everyone, my name is Yun Sui-sui. 'Yun' as in cloud, and 'Sui-sui' as in peace and tranquility throughout the years. I am..."
Seeing Yun Sui-sui like this, Pei Zhi-qiu couldn't help but let a smile spread across his face. She was damn cute.
System: "Pei Zhi-qiu's favorability +2."
Before Yun Sui-sui could finish, a boy with dyed red hair interrupted, "So, are you Brother Pei’s girlfriend?"
Yun Sui-sui shook her head hurriedly, "No, I’m his friend."
"Alright, quit teasing her." Pei Zhi-qiu pulled Yun Sui-sui down as she stood on the sofa. Off-balance, she fell into his arms.
A wicked smirk curled at the corner of Pei Zhi-qiu’s mouth, his peach-blossom eyes impossibly alluring. "What? Trying to take advantage of me?"
Yun Sui-sui’s face turned bright red, and she pushed him away in a panic. "I—I didn't!"
The waiter brought the drinks into the room, placing a blue glass and a red glass on the table before turning to leave.
Pei Zhi-qiu pushed the blue glass toward Yun Sui-sui. "Try it."
Anyone who frequented this place knew the blue drink had a very low alcohol content and wouldn't get you drunk easily.
"Brother Pei, this drink seems a bit weak, doesn't it?"
Pei Zhi-qiu swept a cold glance at the man. "What? Do you have an objection?"
The man, clearly intimidated, dared not offer any further opinion. "No objection, how could I have any objection?"
Yun Sui-sui took a cautious sip of the drink and found it sweet, tasting just like a soda. Her eyes sparkled like a fawn's, and she looked at Pei Zhi-qiu, holding the glass. "This is actually quite tasty."
Pei Zhi-qiu took a sip of his own drink, his tone playful. "This drink is actually very strong. Be careful not to get drunk."
Yun Sui-sui blinked her large eyes and glared at him. "I'm not stupid. I heard everything you guys said just now."
With that, she downed the rest of the drink in one go. Her face turned rosy, and she looked absolutely adorable. "I want another one!" she declared, setting the empty glass on the table.
"Sure."
Pei Zhi-qiu glanced at the boy sitting nearby, who immediately understood and headed out to order more.
The red-haired boy looked at Pei Zhi-qiu and suggested, "Brother Pei, just drinking is boring. Why don't we play spin-the-bottle?"
Yun Sui-sui, still quite sober, asked, "How do you play? I don't know how."
"We’ll play rock-paper-scissors to decide who spins the bottle. Whoever the bottle neck points to has to accept a dare."
"And who decides the dares?" Yun Sui-sui asked, puzzled.
A girl in a black miniskirt pulled a large paper box from behind her. "We draw the dares from this box. If you can't do it, you have to drink ten penalty cups."
Yun Sui-sui felt a wave of anxiety. If she drew something she couldn't do, wouldn't she drink herself to death?
System: "Host, don't hesitate. This is a golden opportunity to raise Pei Zhi-qiu's favorability!"
Pei Zhi-qiu toyed with his glass, his gaze instinctively drifting to Yun Sui-sui. He noticed her beautiful little face scrunched up. He frowned—could someone who visited an adult store really have never played these games? Was she faking it, or was she truly naive?
System: "Pei Zhi-qiu's favorability -2."
Yun Sui-sui was struck by the system's notification. She had only hesitated for less than a minute, and she’d already lost favorability?! She glared daggers at Pei Zhi-qiu. A man's heart was truly as deep as the ocean.
To Pei Zhi-qiu, this look seemed like she was acting cute. He took a sip of his drink; this little girl was quite skilled at playing the innocent.
"Alright, let's play spin-the-bottle then," Yun Sui-sui said, smiling at the girl in the black miniskirt.
The boy in black returned with the "Maiden’s Love" Yun Sui-sui had just been drinking and placed it in front of Pei Zhi-qiu.
"Brother Pei, your drink."
Pei Zhi-qiu said nothing, simply sliding the drink toward Yun Sui-sui.
She took a satisfying sip. The alcohol began to rise to her head, and feeling slightly tipsy, she gave Pei Zhi-qiu a sweet smile. Pei Zhi-qiu watched her with amusement; it seemed this really was the little girl’s first time drinking.
"Right, let’s play rock-paper-scissors to see who spins first."
They began, and Yun Sui-sui was eliminated in the first round. The winner was the girl in the black miniskirt.
"I’m going to spin then," the girl said, and the bottle began to rotate on the table.
Yun Sui-sui prayed silently, *Please don't let it be me, please don't let it be me.*
The bottle stopped. The neck pointed directly at her.
Yun Sui-sui’s eyes widened. No way! How could she be so unlucky to get picked on her first game?
The box was placed on the table. "Little fairy, it’s your turn. Draw," the red-haired boy said.
Yun Sui-sui slowly reached into the box and pulled out a slip of paper. Her eyes widened even further as she read the contents. Pei Zhi-qiu glanced at her with genuine interest.
A girl took the slip and read it aloud: "Sit on an opposite
