Chapter 187 I GET TO POUR MILK ON YOU TOO!
Chapter 187 I GET TO POUR MILK ON YOU TOO!
Hugo sat there, frozen. His eyes were locked onto the screen, his face blank with pure shock. He didn't move. He didn't blink. He barely breathed.
His brain? Malfunctioning.
'No. No, this… this isn't real. This has to be a dream. An illusion. A cruel joke from the universe!'
Meanwhile, Loli let out a long, exhausted sigh. As if winning was just another normal thing for her. With a stretch, she pushed herself off his lap and stood up.
The warmth of her body, which had been pressed against him for so long, suddenly disappeared.
Hugo felt it immediately. The loss. The emptiness. The cold, lonely void where Loli used to be.
'Damn it… it's like my soul just got yanked out of my chest…'
But no! He couldn't focus on that now. His eyes stayed on the screen, replaying the moment over and over again, searching for anything—a glitch, an unfair mechanic, divine intervention—anything to explain what had just happened.
But the truth was clear.
She had won.
'She won. She actually won. Even after I sacrificed 70 whole mastery points to upgrade my gaming skills, she still DESTROYED me!'
The weight of reality hit him like a truck. Slowly, with all the sadness in the world, he reached up, picked a single piece of popcorn from his hair, and solemnly placed it in his mouth.
Chew.
Swallow.
Despair.
Meanwhile, Loli returned from the kitchen with a glass of water in her hand, completely unbothered. But as she walked into the living room, Hugo's eyes flickered to her outfit.
Her tiny pajama top had somehow managed to lose another button during their intense gaming session...
Another.
The fabric hung looser, revealing just a bit more of her fair skin. Just a little too much. Just enough to mess with his brain.
'…Was this on purpose? Was she doing this to torture me?'
Before he could process his ridiculous thoughts, Loli plopped back onto his lap, settling in comfortably as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Because at this point, it was.
She was already addicted to sitting there. He didn't mind as well.
With a slow, smug smirk, she took a sip of her water and said, "I can't wait to see you in a tutu."
Boom!
Hugo instantly broke down, slumping forward dramatically. "Hilary, please!" he wailed. "Have mercy! I'll do anything! Just don't make me go to the gym like that!"
Loli giggled, her eyes shining with mischief. "Oh? Anything, you say?"
Hugo clutched his chest like he was in physical pain. "Yes! Anything!"
She pretended to think. "Hmmm… what if I make you wear a full ballet outfit? With a little tiara on top?"
"NOOOOOOO!" Hugo flopped backward onto the couch like a man who had just been told his life was over.
"Hilary, I'll do literally anything else! I'll clean your room! I'll do your homework! I'll—I'll buy you snacks for a whole month!"
Loli raised an eyebrow. "Tempting… but no."
Hugo sat up desperately. "Okay, okay! You drive a hard bargain, but what if—"
Loli sighed, shaking her head. "Fine," she finally said, "but only if you do something for me."
Hugo shot up like a rocket. "Done!" he declared instantly.
'I don't care what Sanchez says about not going back on promises—this is a matter of social survival! My dignity is on the line!'
Loli, for the first time in this entire conversation, looked a little… shy? She shifted slightly in his lap, her fingers playing with the hem of her pajama shorts.
Then, in a soft voice, she mumbled, "There's a movie premiering this Saturday… I want you to go with me."
Hugo blinked.
Once.
Twice.
Then realization dawned on him.
Wait. Wait. Wait.
This—this was her condition?! Not some impossible task, not some embarrassing demand—she just wanted to go to a movie with him?!
Hugo was so relieved he almost cried on the spot. "That's it?!" he blurted out. "Hilary, that's literally perfect! Of course I'll go!"
As the words left his mouth, a slow grin crept onto his face.
'Wait a second…'
Even though he technically lost the bet… didn't this mean she was the one setting up a date with him?
'Loli, oh sweet, innocent Loli… you're falling for me, aren't you?'
He smirked. His confidence shot up ten levels. This was proof! She definitely liked him!
Loli, completely unaware of the crazy thoughts running through his head, crossed her arms, trying to mask the joy in her voice.
"Good. Now, as for your new dare…" She turned to him, eyes filled with mischief. "Close your eyes."
Hugo's entire body went rigid.
Wait.
WAIT.
This—this was it, right?! This was one of those moments! Like in the movies! Where the girl tells the guy to close his eyes and then leans in and—
'Holy sh*t!'
His heart started racing. His mind spun out of control. 'Could this really be happening?!'
He swallowed. He didn't really get nervous around girls anymore, but right now, his palms were sweating.
Slowly, he shut his eyes, waiting.
Silence.
Then—
SPLASH!
Something cold poured over his head, drenching him instantly.
Hugo's eyes snapped open. A fresh, white stream of milk dripped down his face. His hair, his chest, even his lap—completely soaked.
Meanwhile, Loli sat there, laughing hysterically.
"HAHAHAHAHA! That's payback for all the naughty things you did with my innocent body!" she howled, clutching her stomach.
Hugo's jaw dropped.
"YOU—" He sputtered, wiping the milk from his face. "You absolute GREMLIN! How DARE you?!"
Loli was still giggling. "Oh, come on! You deserved it!"
"Oh, so THAT'S how it is?" Hugo cracked his knuckles, an evil smirk forming. "Fine. If I did naughty things to you, then you also did naughty things to me."
Loli paused. "…What?"
Hugo pointed a dramatic finger at her. "Which means… I GET TO POUR MILK ON YOU TOO!"
"Wha—"
Before she could react, Hugo lunged for the milk carton.
"NONONO—HUGO, DON'T YOU DARE!" Loli shrieked, scrambling to escape.

But just as she twisted to run, Hugo suddenly grabbed her wrist—
And without thinking, he pulled her back and crashed his lips onto hers.
Silence.
Loli's body stiffened in shock.
