I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

How about Chapter 37, the kind where the loser gets punished?

Zhou Heng only played for about half an hour before going back to studying. There were still two days until the exam, and he dared not slack off.

It was around 1 p.m., and none of the three had eaten yet.

While playing, Tang Zhi felt a little hungry, so she called out to Zhou Heng across the table:

"Zhou Heng! I'm hungry! When are you going to cook?"

"Hey! I'll do it! Let Zhou Heng focus on his studies!"

Yin Mengran quickly got up, put down the game controller, and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook.

After all, Zhou Heng had approved of the meal she cooked yesterday, which gave her confidence.

Zhou Heng needs to focus on her studies now, so it's better to let her do the cooking.

"Oh? You can cook?"

"Yes, we did it yesterday, and Zhou Heng said it was okay."

Yin Mengran turned around and smiled slightly. She felt a great sense of pride in cooking a meal that would satisfy Zhou Heng.

Living in Zhou Heng's house, she always wanted to do as much as she could, just so that she could at least feel more at ease.

But when Yin Mengran entered the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, she found that there was almost no food left...

She came out and said to Zhou Heng:

"There's not much left in the fridge, I'll go out and buy some..."

Zhou Heng looked up at her, stood up, and said, "No, I'll go."

Yin Mengran remembered that Zhou Heng had dietary restrictions, but she didn't know exactly what he couldn't eat. So if she went to buy things, it wouldn't be good if he bought the wrong things.

After Zhou Heng left, Yin Mengran returned to the living room.

She remembered that Tang Zhi seemed to eat at school, not bring her own lunch, so she asked curiously:

"Tang Zhi, are you also from an ethnic minority?"

Tang Zhi, chewing on a lollipop, replied, "My mom is, but I'm not. My ethnicity is the same as my dad's."

"That's it..."

Yin Mengran nodded in sudden understanding, then took a closer look at Tang Zhi's features.

Although she has some features of ethnic minorities, they are not as obvious as Zhou Heng's, so it seems that she looks more like her father.

Yin Mengran's gaze moved downwards, taking in Tang Zhi's figure, and she thought to herself, "No wonder she has a figure from regular exercise."

Her figure is of standard build, but Tang Zhi is particularly thin, so she looks like she doesn't have much meat on her bones.

However, upon closer inspection, you can see that her skin is firm, almost without any excess fat, and her features are clearly defined.

"what..."

Yin Mengran suddenly remembered that she and Zhou Heng still had a bet...

That means if Tang Zhi is invited to sign up for the sports meet events, then Zhou Heng will also participate!

As the class monitor, she has to consider matters of class honor carefully; winning as many gold medals as possible would certainly be the best outcome.

She had witnessed the abilities of Zhou Heng and Tang Zhi, and everyone else in the class knew it too.

So if they were willing to participate, they could definitely win many more gold medals.

The most important thing right now is how to persuade Tang Zhi to sign up?

Yin Mengran sat on the sofa, watching Tang Zhi's retreating figure, and began to think seriously.

A moment later, her eyes fell on the game screen in front of her, and an idea popped into her head.

"Hey... Tang Zhi, let's play together, how about the kind where the loser has to suffer a punishment?"

Tang Zhi pressed pause, glanced back at Yin Mengran, and asked:

"You want to fight me? You can't win."

"Give it a try..."

"Come on then."

Yin Mengran sat down, picked up the game controller, and prepared to compete against Tang Zhi.

She knew her chances of winning were slim, but she was willing to lose countless times as long as she won just once!

If we win once, we'll get Tang Zhi to sign up for the project!

During the selection process, Tang Zhi asked, "What level of punishment are you willing to accept?"

"random!"

Yin Mengran confidently replied that she was afraid that if she won, Tang Zhi would be asked to participate, which she refused.

Therefore, he accepted the full range of punishments.

In any case, there shouldn't be any punishment that she couldn't accept.

"Okay, then I'll do whatever I want."

Tang Zhi seemed very confident, and thus accepted the same level of difficulty as Yin Mengran.

"【Round 1 Fight!】"

"Bang bang bang-"

Despite Yin Mengran frantically pressing the buttons, she felt like her character had never come down from the sky.

Tang Zhi pressed the buttons slowly and methodically, but her combos were almost seamless!

The first round ended quickly with Yin Mengran's defeat; she didn't even last 30 seconds...

"Uh..."

Yin Mengran couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed; she had thought she should have some chance.

Since we're all girls, even if I'm not very good at the game, I can still get a 30/70 or 20/80 split, right?

The result was actually a 10/0 split?

He had no chance to fight back at all!

"【Round 2 Fight!】"

In the second round, Yin Mengran was more cautious this time, choosing to defend instead of attacking.

After successfully defending against several of Tang Zhi's combo attacks, she began to attempt a counterattack.

The imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Just as he was about to retaliate, Tang Zhi seized the opportunity and easily took him down with a combo...

And just like that, the first game ended in less than two minutes, and Yin Mengran lost completely...

"I lost. Name your punishment, and then we'll try again!"

"Let me think about it..."

Tang Zhi grinned, revealing a small canine tooth, and began to ponder.

Judging from her expression, Yin Mengran felt a little worried. Would she really make an unreasonable request?

"Alright, since it's the first round, I won't mention any harsh punishments. When you return that gift tomorrow, tell Lu Yunshuo in front of your classmates, 'I don't like you,' okay?"

"no problem."

Yin Mengran agreed without hesitation. To her, this was hardly a punishment at all.

The second game started quickly.

This time, Yin Mengran was fully focused, staring intently at the screen, and her fingers were even more taut.

She probed frantically, but just as Tang Zhi was about to hit her, she quickly retreated.

Nevertheless, Tang Zhi found an opportunity and lost the first round.

However, this time, Yin Mengran felt there was some hope, because she had drawn a lot of blood from Tang Zhi.

She found this probing attack, which involved fighting and retreating, to be very effective!

At the start of the second round, Yin Mengran continued to use this tactic.

But as it turned out, his gaming experience was ultimately not as rich as Tang Zhi's.

In just one round, they found a way to break their own tactic!

She didn't even know that this game had ranged attacks!

She was still jumping around and testing the waters when Tang Zhi rubbed the controller, unleashing a series of shockwaves that caught her off guard!

In the second game, unsurprisingly, they lost again...

"Sigh... let's do it again! Name your punishment."

Tang Zhi was somewhat surprised and asked in astonishment, "Again? What do you want me to do? You're going to such lengths..."
