Forced Me to Regress, Huh?

In the private room, Cheng Zhu and Lin Lu were sitting very close to each other.

As they leaned down to look at the dice together, he could smell the faint fragrance coming from her.

It was normal for a beautiful girl to smell nice.

On the other hand, a man’s scene usually only resembled that of laundry detergent.

But he had heard that if a girl enjoyed your scent when you were in a relationship, it meant she really liked you.

After checking the dice, Cheng Zhu gently closed the dice cup.

What surprised him was how quickly this voice actress had grown. She had already started to play beyond the game, putting on a very exaggerated expression as if the dice she had shaken were especially impressive.

Cheng Zhu looked at her and cooperatively gave a slight nod. He even covered her face with his hand, as though he didn’t want the others to see her expression and expose their dice’s strength.

To be honest, Lin Lu had always thought playing dice was boring. She had never found the game fun.

But tonight, she found it unusually thrilling and super interesting, and she was in a great mood.

This was what it was like being with a grandmaster-level man. He wouldn’t say much, but the emotional value was off the charts.

On the other side, Wang Wei, the bespectacled man, adjusted his wooden-framed glasses, his expression tense.

In this era, wooden-framed glasses were trendy for a bit, but fewer people wore them now.

As he was about to shake the dice, he heard Liu Hongjing say, “Lin Lu shook Little Cheng’s dice, so I’ll shake ours. Use the ones I rolled.”

He then pushed his dice cup in front of Wang Wei.

Wang Wei took it and looked inside. It was a leopard!

Liu Hongjing had pulled a little trick.

Everyone had been distracted by the theatrics between Cheng Zhu and Lin Lu, so they didn’t notice the small exchange between Liu Hongjing and Wang Wei.

All of a sudden, Wang Wei gained confidence. His dice were a leopard—he had six 4s!

Hmph, six 4s, I’ll make sure you lose! he thought. How can I lose with a leopard?

With this thought in mind, Wang Wei felt he had this round in the bag.

The five dice were: 1,1,1,4,4.

On Cheng Zhu’s side, his dice weren’t bad either: 1, 1, 1, 2, 3.

But the moment he closed the dice cup, he was already starting to cheat again.

He turned to look at Lin Lu. “Remember the numbers? Okay, you can’t look anymore. We don’t want your expression to give away the strength of our dice!”

“Okay!” Lin Lu, now fully obedient to Cheng Zhu, nodded.

According to the rules, Wang Wei’s team had lost the previous round, so it was his turn to call first.

He couldn’t be bothered with any tricks and called directly, “Three 4s!”

Cheng Zhu glanced at him and said calmly, “Three 1s.”

“Fuck!” Wang Wei and Liu Hongjing cursed in unison.

Why did this guy suddenly call out 1s?! Their leopard was wasted!

If 1 was called, then it was no longer a wildcard. Wang Wei’s six 4s were now reduced to just two 4s.

“Since he’s so confident, it means he definitely has a 1. We have three 1s here. Don’t worry, add one!” Liu Hongjing, acting as the strategist, whispered to Wang Wei.

“Four 1s!” Wang Wei shouted.

“Add one,” Cheng Zhu said calmly.

Liu Hongjing began analyzing again and whispered, “If he was lying from the beginning, he definitely wouldn’t dare to call five 1s. It means he must have a few. Fuck, don’t back down. Add one!!”

“Six 1s!” Wang Wei nearly screamed, a feeling of desperation in his voice.

Lin Lu was nervous just listening from the side.

In the final round of the game, calling out six 1s was undeniably thrilling.

Cheng Zhu leisurely opened his dice cup. Although he seemed to be staring at his dice and considering his next move, he was actually turning them.

He had already manipulated the dice into five 1s.

Five identical dice meant a pure leopard, which allowed him to add two more, giving him a total of seven 1s!

—I’m Not Human Anymore!

“Add one more,” he said calmly.

He was deliberately playing this way, intentionally making his two opponents overthink and analyze endlessly.

As expected, Liu Hongjing and Wang Wei immediately became alert and exchanged hurried whispers.

“No way, he’s calling seven 1s.”

“Is he crazy? How could he possibly have four 1s?”

“We’re already at the limit. If we push further, it’ll be eight 1s. He would need all five dice to be 1s. It’s impossible.”

“Open, we have no other choice!”

While the two of them were whispering their plans, Shen Minglang had already stood up and shouted, “Holy crap! How the hell can he call seven 1s?! Are all the dice rolls in the last round so good?”

Lin Lu’s face was slightly pale. She knew she had only managed to shake out three 1s for Cheng Zhu. From a probability point of view, the chances of the other side having four 1s were slim.

Seeing her expression, Cheng Zhu waved her over, signaling her to bring her ear closer. He had a secret to share.

Lin Lu immediately shifted her small butt, pressing her skirt against the sofa as she leaned in, offering her delicate ear to Cheng Zhu’s lips.

“You were the one who shook the dice, and you’ve been blowing on them, right?” he whispered in a breathy voice, making Lin Lu feel as if he were blowing into her ear.

She flinched slightly, feeling a tingly sensation running through her body.

But after hearing what Cheng Zhu said, she still nodded.

“Do you know why I keep asking you to blow on them?” he continued.

Lin Lu felt his breath on her ear, and the tingly sensation intensified, making her neck shrink slightly.

She shook her head and leaned back a bit.

“I’ll show you a magic trick.” Cheng Zhu grinned.

At this moment, Wang Wei stood up and shouted, “Open! We’re at the limit. If we lose, so be it!”

“Little Cheng, you go first. Let’s see how many 1s you’ve got!” Liu Hongjing added.

Two two were actually quite tense.

Cheng Zhu glanced at the eight opponents facing him and said, “No need to open your cup. Just start drinking.”

He lifted his dice cup, revealing a pure leopard—seven 1s!

Gasps erupted through the room as Shen Minglang jumped up in excitement.

“Ahhhh! One beating eight! And the final round is even seven fucking 1s!” Shen Minglang felt his scalp tingle.

In his entire life, he had only rolled seven 1s once before!

Even Jiang Wanzhou stood up to get a closer look at the dice, his eyes full of disbelief.

Since when did Cheng Zhu become this skilled? He was baffled. Has this guy sneaked out to practice behind my back every day?

Lin Lu’s large, expressive eyes widened, and question marks began appearing in her eyes.

She was the only one who knew the truth.

This was exactly the effect Cheng Zhu wanted.

He paid no attention to everyone’s gasps and exclamations. Even when Shen Minglang ran over to pat his shoulder, he ignored him. He directed a discreet wink solely at Lin Lu.

The meaning was clear: The magic trick worked, but this is a secret between us. You have to keep it a secret.

And so, on only their second meeting, they already had a secret between them.

An indescribable feeling rippled in Lin Lu’s heart.

Moreover, there was something you should know. Cheng Zhu’s choice of words was very clever—magic.

As everyone knew, many magicians had accomplices.

You’re my only accomplice. This represents my trust in you, my endless trust!

See, you’re the one who shook the dice!

From another perspective, he was basically cheating at the drinking table.

Sure, he did it, but he couldn’t just say it like that. I’ll show you a magic trick. Tsk, it sounded so much more romantic!

Lin Lu suddenly felt she was quite disappointing. Facing the younger man’s gaze, she realized her heart was racing.

An indescribable atmosphere spread between the two of them.

But at this moment, Liu Hongjing and Wang Wei could no longer sit still.

“Impossible! Shaking seven 1s? I don’t believe it!”

“There must be something wrong. The odds are too low!”

The two of them had drunk a little during dinner and were now slightly tipsy.

And don’t be fooled by how carefree many men were usually. At the drinking table, they could get ridiculously calculative.

Some of them were experts at pretending to be drinkers, but they liked forcing drinks on others. Their drinking manners were terrible.

Liu Hongjing was really speechless. He deliberately rolled a leopard, but somehow Wang Wei still lost?

For a moment, Lin Lu felt that she was being questioned. After all, she was the one who shook the dice in the final roll.

But she had witnessed the ‘magic’ firsthand, so she had no confidence in arguing back.

Indeed… there was something off.

Cheng Zhu, on the other hand, couldn’t care less. He was just thinking about how to have some fun arguing with them.

He had even intentionally rolled seven ones just to wait for them to call him out.

Little Cheng, Little Cheng, you’ve been calling that all night, he cursed inwardly.

Damn it. You’re ruining the atmosphere I’m trying to create with Lin Lu.

I’ll let you know who the real boss at this table is!

Cheng Zhu picked up the dice cup and slowly dropped the five dice into it one by one.

While doing so, he said, “When we were playing, everyone was watching.”

Clink. One die was dropped in.

“If you have doubts about my skills, fine.”

Clink. Another die followed.

“How about this? No more World War. One of you will come out and face me one-on-one. I’ll still let Lin Lu shake my dice. After they’re shaken, we can only open the cups once to see the result. This way, there’s no chance of tampering with the dice, right?

“Best of five. Whoever loses drinks half a bottle of wine.”

He held the dice cup in one hand and shook it gently. The rattling of the dice inside was clear and loud, echoing in the private room.

Earlier, he had taken down eight people single-handedly, and his momentum had been building all along. Now, it was at its peak, and his presence felt overwhelming. The pressure was palpable!

Little trash, do you dare to play?

One against eight depends a bit on luck, so I had to pull a trick. But one-on-one? I’ll destroy you!

Do you understand the prestige of the king of the drinking scene?

I’ll make you leave this room sideways today!

Lin Lu sat beside him and looked at his well-defined side profile, her big eyes blinking.

At this moment, the girl didn’t even think about the possibility of cheating. It was human nature. People tended to think from their own perspectives.

Since she was the one who had shaken the dice but had been rendered speechless earlier, she suddenly had a thought. He’s backing me up!

Hehe, I think I might be getting a little bad. She felt that the little devil in her was about to jump out. But still, I’m so happy today!
