Lin Fang groaned, covering his face with one hand. "The teacher recognized my handwriting. I got dragged into the principal's office and scolded. Out of embarrassment, I hid at home for two days."

Lin Fang blinked innocently. "And… nothing happened afterward. The end."
They all groaned in unison, Li Xue slapping the couch. "That's such a boring ending!"
"It's not a novel to have interesting twists in life." Lin Fang smirked, grabbing another beer. Glancing at Zhi Yan and then Li Xue, he said, "Alright then, my turn again. Never have I ever had a crush on a friend, but never said it."
The room stilled. Both Li Liu and Zhi Yan exchanged fleeting glances, then—almost in sync—lifted their glasses and drank.
"Eh?" Lin Fang raised a brow, half amused, half intrigued. "Both of you?"
