Chapter 860 Knights...
Jake frowned as he said in a low voice to Lu Lijun, "Can't he stop acting? He must be glad to hear about his task."
"Do you want him to kiss you then," Lu Lijun commented sarcastically as he heard Jake, "That day would be the last day of his life."
"Hmm."
When these two talked, everyone was cheering Noah to kiss the girl, and he did it. They started counting the time the moment Noah's lips met with the girls, and soon one minute finished, and everyone clapped for Noah and the girl.
Noah was normal as if it was nothing while the girl's face turned red that she couldn't deny she liked it and stared at Noah for a while.
"You deserve to drink more," said one of the boys and pass one small drink shot to Noah.
Noah accepted it as he drank it, looking at his friends who were not interested at all.
"It's Jake's turn now," said the girl and instructed, "Choose the number.
Unwillingly, Jake answered, "Twelve," but before the girl could see the question, he interrupted coldly, "If it's something that I don't wish to do, I won't."
He was a prince from the royal family, and who would mess up with his image if he doesn't find this appropriate? They had to agree, but there was a condition too.
"If you can't do it, then you can choose to finish that beer bottle in one go," said one guy.
"Okay," Jake agreed while his two friends were shocked.
Jake hated to drink, but he agreed to it without blinking an eye. One could ask him to do anything but not the drink.
"Jake…" Lu Lijun tried to stop him, but he assured him, "It's fine."
Noah wanted to say it's not fine, but saying it aloud was like provoking the other people to force him to drink more, so he kept quiet and pressed his temples, feeling worried about Jake.
"There are two parts of the question, and I will ask the first part and later second."
Jake waited for her to ask, but his two friends became tense while the others were excited to know something about this aloof prince for the first time.
The girl continued, "As far as we know, you have never dated anyone. but still, we want to know if you have kissed someone ever."
"Does that question list only concern the kiss thing?" Noah asked sarcastically.
The girl smiled, not minding Noah, "Yes, and we should be happy; it doesn't concern the word sex."
"So answer us, Jake?" the girl insisted.
Jake kept quiet for a while as others felt what he must be thinking while Noah whispered to Lu Lijun, "He never kissed anyone and how embarrassing it would be if he says no."
"Don't act as if you know it all," Lu Lijun countered.
"What? What do you mean? Have he….." Just as Noah was in shock, he hears someone loudly clarifying his doubt.
"Yes!" Came the firm reply from Jake, and everyone made loud noises in excitement.
Noah felt shocked about how come he didn't know this thing about his friend. He felt betrayed and whispered to Lu Lijun, "When was it, and how come you know, but I don't?"
"Why don't you ask him?" Lu Lijun countered calmly, and they heard the girl talking again.
"Alright, the second part of the question."
Everyone looked at the girl in anticipation of having a spicy question, and she spoke again, "Who was the person you kissed?"
Jake, who sat silently on the sofa, leaned forward, picked up the beer bottle, and emptied it down the throat without a break.
Seeing him drinking and the way he looked cold, no one dared to stop him or force him to answer it.
----
The next turn was Lu Lijun, and everyone looked at him. No one knew anything about him other than the thing he was the son of a wealthy family in China, and he would lead the business empire in the future.
He never talked or fought with anyone, and there was no way one could get closer to him in an attempt to know him. This smart guy always knew other's intentions and avoided them smartly without making any fuss.
"Choose the number, Lijun," the girl instructed as everyone sat with anticipation.
"Eight," Lu Lijun answered.
"Let's see." said the girl as the people sitting beside her tried to look into the screen before announcing the question. "Can you guys give me some space," she warned as they disturbed her.
"Okay, so Lijun…"
"I won't if I don't want to," said Lu Lijun, and just like Jake, they couldn't force Lu Lijun too.
"Hmm, then you have to drink these three bottles of beer," said one guy as he put the three bottles on the table in front of Lu Lijun.
This was another trouble for these three friends, and it was even bigger.
"Hey, keep that drinking thing aside. We have to spend time here, and if we get drunk like this, then there won't be any fun," Noah suggested.
"With these mild beers, no one can get drunk, so don't worry," the boy countered, and others agreed.
Noah wanted to argue further, but Lu Lijun put his hand on his shoulder to stop him. Backing out like this would be a shame, and he wouldn't let it happen with him and his two friends.
"Ask," instructed Lu Lijun.
"Just like Jake, we know you have never dated any girl here, but we can't accept the fact that you have never been in love. So tell us the name of the girl you fell in love with," said the girl.
Before Lu Lijun could react, Jake and Noah picked up a one-one beer bottle out of those three, and only one left for Lu Lijun.
Noah smiled at others as he said, "We would like to be our friend's knights."
No one said anything but felt disappointed, and Lu Lijun picked up the third beer bottle that was left on the table.
