Lanning carried the luggage bag and walked to the front of the villa with Yan Ruyu.
Looking at this house up close, Lanning was even more shocked. This kind of mansion is usually hard to see on TV: "Is this your villa?"
Although he knew that a great writer of his level must earn a considerable amount of royalties, he never expected that he would be an invisible rich man who could buy luxurious villas in deep mountains and old forests.
"It was given to me by my uncle." Yan Ruyu's tone was gentle, as if what his uncle gave him was a toy that comes with eating fast food, rather than a mansion.
Lan Ning's eyebrows twitched: "Your uncle?" Your uncle is really generous.
Yan Ruyu nodded: "He is selling villas, and there are several villas here, all of which have been sold to others."
Lan Ning asked suspiciously, "Isn't your family from a scholarly family?"
"Well, so he was kicked out of the house."
Lanning: "..."
Are you serious
She wanted to ask a few more questions, but she thought that this was someone else's family business, and it was not easy for an outsider to inquire about anything, so she closed her voice embarrassingly.
After Yan Ruyu opened the door and Lan Ning followed him into the villa, his eyes lit up again.
The first floor is a very large living room, decorated with a large European-style chandelier on the top, surrounded by two full walls of floor-to-ceiling windows, the warm sunlight shines through the clear glass, making the interior extremely bright. The interior decoration of the villa uses many European-style features, but the most striking thing is the rows of bookshelves in the hall.
These bookshelves are placed in carefully designed positions, each of which is full of books, like a small library.
"My God, there are so many books here." Lan Ning casually let go of her luggage bag and walked inside. There are also several bookshelves in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the light golden sunlight falls on them, making each book shine brightly. There is also a large light gray sofa in front of the window, which seems to be specially prepared for reading.
On the wall behind the bookcase, there is a brush calligraphy, on which is written a line from Yu Qian's "Guanshu" - the book is as affectionate as an old friend.
Lan Ning turned to look at Confucianism and asked curiously, "Is this your handwriting?"
"It was written by my uncle." Yan Ruyu walked to her side, and also looked up at the flowing calligraphy.
"Your uncle's handwriting is really good, he is indeed a businessman from a scholarly family." Lan Ning couldn't help laughing, "Are the books here also his?"
"A part belongs to him, and a part belongs to me. These are not all, there is still the study on the second floor."
Lanning: "..."
This is how much I love reading.
"Have you read all these books?" she asked.
Yan Ruyu raised his eyebrows: "I haven't read all of them yet. When I came here before, I could live here for a month without doing anything but reading."
"Wow." Lan Ning really looked at him with admiration, at least she used to borrow books with great interest in the reading library, many of which were still in the stage of looking at the catalog when the return day came.
"But that's also because of the special nature of your job. If ordinary office workers in the city don't have the time to study, even if they have time, they would prefer to sleep." In this way, there are fewer and fewer talents who buy books now, and when they want to read a book, they will directly find a book on their mobile phone."
"Paper books cannot be replaced." Yan Ruyu took out a book from the bookshelf and tapped the cover twice, "No matter how realistic those reading software are, they can't compare to holding a book in your own hands. The feeling of flipping through at your fingertips.”
Lan Ning looked up at him. He was standing in front of the window, with a shallow outline outlined by the sunlight, looking a little different from usual.
"What do you mean by looking at me like that?" Yan Ruyu turned his head and his eyes fell on Lanning.
Lan Ning looked away, pretending to be unintentional and said: "I just feel that such emotional words don't seem to come from your mouth." Is it because of the influence of nature, people also become literary
Yan Ruyu put the book back on the shelf, and didn't bother with this question any more: "It's getting late now, you can go and make lunch."
Lanning: "..."
Why can he dispatch her so naturally? It's like dispatching a maid!
She said angrily: "Why didn't you do it? After all, you are also the host and I am the guest."
Yan Ruyu replied calmly: "Because I have to write a manuscript, so you cook."
Lanning laughed twice: "Come on, don't think I don't know, even if I cook, you won't be able to write."
Yan Ruyu looked at her with some surprise: "It seems that you have been with me for a long time, and your IQ has also improved significantly."
... It's because I know your shameless character like the back of my hand!
The two stalemate in the living room, and neither of them wants to cook. In the end, Yan Ruyu proposed a plan first: "Can you play cards? Let's play a game of cards, and the loser will cook."
Lan Ning said: "What kind of cards do you two play? Turtle or train?"
Yan Ruyu thought for a while, found a deck of cards from the bookshelf, and shook Lan Ning: "Is the Three Kingdoms Killing Club? Let's play 1v1."
Lanning: "..."
She fell for the game for a while in college, playing all-nighters with her roommates. But now I am busy with work, I haven't played for a long time, and I can hardly remember the rules.
"I haven't played for a long time, just keep it simple."
Yan Ruyu glanced at her, and took out all the expanded cards: "Just play the standard version, the rules are also simplified, one person has three generals, whoever loses all the generals first will lose."
"Oh." Lanning watched as he took out nine cards from a pile of generals and put them on the table, and then turned over six of them. Her gaze slowly swept over the cards that were turned over, um, what skills do these generals have
She was still trying to remember, Yan Ruyu handed her two more ID cards: "The one who draws the lord first chooses the general."
Lanning's fingers clicked back and forth between the two cards several times, and finally chose the one on the left.
"The traitor..." Lan Ning raised his forehead, it was a bad start.
Yan Ruyu smiled, and opened the other one: "My lord, I will pick first."
The first general he picked was Lu Bu. Lan Ning saw that he had taken Lu Bu, and he took Zhao Yun immediately. Next, Confucianism chose Zhuge Liang, and Lanning quickly took Guo Jia. Hmph, let's see how empty you are.
Yan Ruyu raised his brows and didn't speak, but was thinking about what to choose for the last general. He thought for a while, and finally chose one of the three generals who were buckled.
Although the buckled military commander can't see the opponent, he can't see himself either, so there is still a certain risk. Lan Ning thought that he might as well choose one that hadn't been opened, but in the end he chose Lu Meng from the generals that appeared.
Lu Meng is the general she prefers to use, with top-notch explosive power and Zhuge Liang's Confucianism. When he launches the empty city, Lu Meng also has an advantage.
Lan Ning felt that from the face of the cards, her generals still had an advantage, and today's lunch must be done by Yan Ruyu!
Energetic, she began to think about the order of the generals. She thought that Yan Ruyu would send Lu Bu first, so she ranked Zhao Yun first, followed by Guo Jia and Lu Meng.
But after Yan Ruyu turned over the cards, she was a little dumbfounded, why is Zhuge Liang the first one? Why doesn't this person play his cards according to the routine
"I knew you would choose Zhao Yun first." Yan Ruyu chuckled, with a little complacency in his tone.
Lan Ning's brows were tightly furrowed, this card is of great importance, she must not lose! Zhuge Liang's advantage weakened in 1v1, and she didn't believe that her Zhao Yun couldn't kill him!
Three minutes later, Zhuge Liang leisurely activated the skill Empty City.
Lanning: "..."
You can't kill Zhuge Liang when you are in an empty city, no matter how brave her Zhao Yun is, she can't beat him... md This kind of feeling is like Confucianism, no matter how cheap he is, you can't kill him!
She felt that the words "hit me" were written all over Yan Ruyu's face, she pursed her lips and touched two cards from the deck, hoping to get one or two tips.
But no! No! Only kill, kill with all hands!
Lanning felt a little hopeless.
Yan Ruyu laughed happily over there: "It seems that you still haven't got the kit."
Lanning glared at him viciously, and reluctantly threw away the guns in his hands.
... If I knew it earlier, I would have let Lu Meng take the lead, at least I didn't have to throw my hand.
Lan Ning regretted it very much now, Zhao Yun's blood decreased drop by drop, and finally he was hacked to death by Zhuge Liang.
Lanning: "..."
The subsequent battle can only be described as tragic. Although her Guo Jia finally killed Zhuge Liang when there was still a drop of blood, the second general in Yan Confucianism turned out to be Huang Yueying. I don't know what kind of bad luck he had, but he was very lucky, and he touched several cards in a row, not only easily killed her Guo Jia, but also her Lu Meng was also killed in battle. .
"You lost." Yan Ruyu announced the result in a good mood, and he looked up at Lanning, as if saying, "You still have to cook this meal after all."
Lanning: "..."
She held Zhuge Liang's card in her hand and crumpled it into a ball.
Confucianism: "..."
"I'm willing to gamble and admit defeat." Yan Confucianism warned earnestly.
"I know." Although Lan Ning was about to explode with anger, since he had been driving for a few hours, she would be at a disadvantage.
Yan Ruyu turned around, rested his head on the back of the sofa, and looked at Lan Ning who was walking towards the kitchen: "Do you know why you lost?"
Lan Ning suddenly turned around: "Could it be that you cheated?!"
"..." Yan Ruyu was silent for a while, and asked, "Why did you take Zhao Yun after seeing me choose Lu Bu? There is Zhen Ji among the generals who are spread out. I think she has an advantage over Zhao Yun against Lu Bu."
Lan Ning said: "Because Zhao Yun is handsome!"
Confucianism: "..."
He turned around and said with a half-smile, "You're still so interesting."
Lanning: "..."
What the hell, do you really think that you are the domineering president in the villa
She wrinkled her nose, opened the oversized refrigerator in the kitchen, and studied it for a while: "When is the stuff in here?"
"I called someone to deliver it last night, enough to last for a week." Yan Ruyu went to see her again, with a smile on his lips, "Tomorrow's lunch is also up to you."
Lanning: "..."
Tomorrow she won't play Three Kingdoms Kill, tomorrow she will play... let's smoke the turtle! If she doesn't believe in smoking a turtle, she still loses!
