Xia Yitong knew that Lu Yinbing was a straightforward person who feared trouble and nagging the most. She didn't expect that he would play cards in such a straightforward style. She had a pile of colorful chips in her hand, and she just grabbed half of them and threw them in for the first bet without even looking at them.
If you lose, you should lose cleanly, and if you win, you should win happily. Playing cards is like being a person.
Xia Yitong watched her play two rounds and she understood how much money each chip represented. She was amazed in her heart. Fortunately, Lu Yinbing had never lost. With her lavish gambling, the chips in front of her accumulated and piled up into a small hill at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then the hill turned into a big mountain.
As the chips piled up, Xia Yitong, like everyone watching their relatives playing cards, was worried about the people on the field. Lu Yinbing, like at the beginning, directly took out half of the bet.
This time, there was a little resistance when transferring the money. Xia Yitong placed his hands on the chips, moved his lips twice, and looked at her reluctantly: "Take less?"
Lu Yinbing laughed, "You don't trust me?"
"No." Xia Yitong licked her lips. Half of it now was worth at least a few hundred thousand. If she just took it out to gamble...
Lu Yinbing easily removed her hand from the chips and divided them in half again. This time she lost, and the big mountain turned back into a small mountain again.
Xia Yitong pursed his lips in pain.
Lu Yinbing uttered an "ah" and said with a nonchalant smile, "My luck is bad. I don't want to play anymore. Let's settle the accounts and give the money to our money-grubber later."
Qin Hanlin refused to allow it, and shouted, "How long have you stopped playing?"
Lu Yinbing: "I have to go play mahjong to avenge Teacher Xia, and I'm busy."
Qin Hanlin: "What are we going to do if you leave?"
Lu Yinbing: "You can play Landlord. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going."
Lu Yinbing walked to the mahjong table and replaced Xia Yitong with a few words. When Laiying saw her coming to the table, he immediately felt like he was facing a great enemy. Qin Mu and Shang Youxuan looked at each other, which was a bit interesting.
Apart from other things, Lu Yinbing's opening style is still very good. He snapped, touched and played the cards in one go, just like the reincarnation of the God of Gamblers. Xia Yitong knew that Lu Yinbing had made a cameo appearance in a movie, in which he played a hidden gambling master. He didn't expect that reality and the movie would overlap again. He just needed a cigarette.
"Twenty thousand."
"I won, a mixed color!" Qin Mu pushed the cards down excitedly.
The God of Gamblers fired a shot in the first hand, shattering the fantasy of his girlfriend who was also his fangirl.
Xia Yitong: “…”
As Qin Mu won the game, the remaining three people poured out the cards in their hands and prepared to push them into the mahjong machine for automatic shuffling. The three of them looked at each other's cards and glanced at Lu Yinbing, and they immediately felt a sense of empathy. Three reds, three whites, two fortunes, and they were already waiting for the winning hand, a fortune and another card.
Shang Youxuan looked at the lonely fortune note in her hand that she was about to throw away: "..."
Big Three Yuan...
Lu Yinbing smiled slightly, with several emotions hidden in her smile, and was the first to scatter the cards and push them in.
The second one.
Xia Yitong sat down instead of standing, moved a chair, and watched Lu Yinbing play cards attentively. Even if she was not very skilled, she could still tell how serious the hand of cards was that Lu Yinbing had failed to win with just now.
Alas, what a pity.
Shang Youxuan: “Two barrels.”
Laiying: "It's nonsense."
Lu Yinbing shows his cards, all of which are in the same color, and he is waiting for the right hand.
The third one.
Xia Yitong stood up again and walked around the table nervously. Laiying reminded her, "A true woman is one who looks at the cards without saying a word. Don't tell Lu Yinbing how many more cards she has."
Xia Yitong: "I know this." Lu Yinbing hasn't heard the cards yet, so how can she tell him
She turned around and sat down again. Lu Yinbing raised his hand and touched her head.
Qin Mu called on Shang Youxuan's cannon, but Lu Yinbing still failed to win, and the big four he showed was not successful.
But except for Lu Yinbing, the other three got a winning hand, which was quite fair.
The fourth one.
It’s Lu Yinbing’s turn now, Xia Yitong thought.
She didn't even look at the cards of other people, and focused on watching Lu Yinbing play cards. It was as if her eyes had a natural filter, processing the images on her retina into the texture of a black-and-white movie. Her every move was like an old film being played in front of her, and her every frown and smile was a half-revealed spring scene.
The whole person is immersed in the beautiful picture.
19 bamboos, 190,000, 19 strips, east, west, south, north, and center are all white. It's done.
He touched a ten thousand dollar note and showed it to himself.
A voice rang out on the card table, like the sound of nature: "Self-draw, Thirteen Yao."
The black and white picture was instantly filled with colors. The person was still the same person, and the smile on the corner of his mouth made him look even more ostentatious. Xia Yitong stared at Lu Yinbing blankly until Lu Yinbing patted her arm and said, "Take your money." Then she came back to her senses.
In order to accommodate the differences between the north and the south, the group chose to play popular mahjong. Even in popular mahjong, Thirteen Yao is almost a legendary hand type that can be used to win. Shang Youxuan, as a loyal fan of Lu Yinbing, immediately said with fanatical eyes: "I thought you were just acting in the movie, but I didn't expect you to be so good at playing cards. Don't move, I'll take a picture."
Lu Yinbing modestly took a photo with her Thirteen Yao on Shang Youxuan's mobile phone.
Xia Yitong and Shang Youxuan had similar reactions, the only difference was that she went straight up and kissed the other one.
Laiying rolled her eyes to the sky, and Qin Mu suggested that Shang Youxuan go wash her face with cold water to calm down.
Lu Yinbing made a winning hand of Thirteen Yao, which made the people playing Landlord and dice cups nearby pause their games and admire him from afar. Five minutes later, the four of them started the second round.
Lu Yinbing rarely wins, but when he does, it's always a big one, with cards like One Color, Small Four of Happiness, Big Four of Happiness, Seven Pairs of Qinglong, Gangshanghua, and in the last hand, he even won Nine Treasures Lotus Lantern.
The four of them played eight rounds in total. When it was getting dark, Laiying was the first to say, "No more playing. It's not fun to play one-sidedly."
Lu Yinbing opened the drawer in front of him. The chips were so full that there was no room for them. Xia Yitong still had a bunch of chips in his hand. He said he would take revenge, and he really took revenge, and he took it back tenfold or eightfold.
The time was almost up, so everyone stopped playing Pai Gow, dice cups, poker, and mahjong and prepared to arrange for someone to cook dinner. Friends bought the ingredients for dinner one, two, three, and four, so they were not assigned to cook. So Lu Yinbing, her three childhood friends, and Xia Yitong went into the kitchen, while the others waited outside for the meal, and set the table and prepared the wine.
As soon as the cook entered the kitchen, the people outside started playing cards freely.
The kitchen door separates two noisy and bustling worlds.
Xia Yitong finally had the opportunity to talk to Lu Yinbing alone. The kitchen at home was big enough, and the three childhood friends washed the vegetables and prepared the ingredients, while Xia Yitong was responsible for cutting and Lu Yinbing put them in the pot.
"I never knew you were so good at playing cards." Xia Yitong exclaimed, the light in her eyes showing that she had not yet recovered from Lu Yinbing's seemingly amazing card skills.
Lu Yinbing said: "I cheated, didn't you see it?"
Xia Yitong: “Ah?”
She lowered her voice and her eyes seemed to brighten: "When did you cheat?" Cheating, it sounds much more advanced than simply saying that you were lucky, and you can only see it in TV movies like God of Gamblers and The Saint of Gamblers.
Lu Yinbing looked at her inexplicably: "Are you so happy that I cheated?"
Xia Yitong said: "Just return all the winnings. Tell me, when did you cheat? Did you hide the cards or change them?"
The childhood friend who had been listening attentively could no longer bear it and said, "She lied to you, sister-in-law."
Xia Yitong: “Ah?”
Lu Yinbing said: "It's just good skills and a little bit of luck. Although I can cheat, I have never used it."
According to Lu Yinbing, when she was filming a movie, the crew invited a mahjong master to train the main actors in playing mahjong. Lu Yinbing played a guest role in the crew because of her friendship with the director. After playing a few games, the director found that she had a special talent for mahjong. During that period, she played mahjong with him every night and learned a lot of skills. She has not forgotten them even after more than ten years. She is young and wants something new. If a poker master came now and caught her to practice playing poker every day, she would... She may not refuse to go. Now she is relaxed and wants to try everything.
Xia Yitong cut some cucumber into strips and put them on the plate. Suddenly, he sighed and said, "When I was playing Pai Gow, I wish I hadn't played the last hand. I lost so many chips in one go."
Lu Yinbing shook her head and laughed while cooking. Xia Yitong's cuteness was deeply rooted in her bones. The longer they spent together, the more they discovered her freshness and brilliance. Why did she love her so much
Xia Yitong turned her head and met Lu Yinbing's loving gaze. The old woman's face couldn't help but get hot and she turned her eyes away.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You look so cute." Lu Yinbing's eyelashes fluttered.
The three childhood friends sighed long and shook their hands together.
Lu Yinbing raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you doing?"
The three childhood friends said in unison: "Ugh - so corny."
Lu Yinbing used a spatula to fight three people at once: "Why don't you wash your vegetables quickly, xx, help cut the vegetables. Xia Yitong is too busy. There is a cutting board in the cupboard opposite you. Rinse it with water."
xx bent down to open the cupboard, singing: "There are opposite sex but no humanity."
I didn't notice anything wrong, and only said "Fuck" after the song was over, saying, "You two are of the same sex."
Lu Yinbing had already slapped her: "Hurry up."
Xia Yitong stood by and laughed. Lu Yinbing had never been so fierce to her. He was indeed two different faces in front of his lover and in front of his friends. Xia Yitong had completely forgotten that about six hours ago, she had screamed in this house as her face was rubbed.
In the face of love, there are always people who suffer from amnesia to some extent, and all that remains in their minds is the beauty that cannot be described in words.
Pink bubbles were popping up in the kitchen, and the atmosphere was bustling just behind the door.
It would take at least an hour or two to cook. The people outside put the wine on the table, spread the tablecloth, and set the tableware. What to do while waiting for the meal? They continued to play mahjong. Without Lu Yinbing, who was like a bug in front of amateur players, the four-person mahjong group had a lot of fun.
Laiying played a card and said, "She learned from others before. She can win a lot of money playing mahjong as long as her luck is not too bad that day. If you want to play cards with her, try Landlord. She is a cancer. She loses nine times out of ten. Forget about other games."
Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't care about the money she won or lost at the poker table, losing a card game was never a happy thing. Shang Youxuan was completely a die-hard fan. My goddess is so good at playing cards.
Laiying: "Originally, she didn't plan to play with us. I guess she came here to vent her anger on Xia Yitong because we kicked Xia Tong off the table. I swear to God, I can fall asleep after playing a game of cards with Xia Tong."
As Xia Yitong's good friend, Qin Mu agreed with her deeply. It was really too slow, so slow that she could eat all the fruits in the fruit plate while waiting for her to play a card.
Laiying: "Wait a minute, I'll take a call."
Lai Ying pursed his lips at Ji Weibai, who was sitting behind Qin Mu and looking at the cards, and said, "Please help me play."
She stepped aside to answer the phone.
Qin Mu flirted with Ji Weibai, and Ji Weibai frivolously pinched her chin with two fingers, pretending to kiss her. Shang Youxuan was about to go blind, and shouted, "In broad daylight, don't you two bitches feel that you are an eyesore and a nuisance to the city?"
Qin Mu: “Hehehe.”
Ji Weibai smiled slightly: "You and Mr. Qiao have also affected the city's appearance, it's the same for both of you."
Shang Youxuan: "Mr. Ji, what you said is unfair. Qiao Tong and I are legally married, and we don't show our affection openly like you two do."
Ji Weibai: "Haha."
Other people's haha might be sarcastic, but Ji Weibai's haha represented a real laugh, and it was the kind of smile that couldn't be more tolerant and generous. Shang Youxuan couldn't hold it in for a breath.
The current girlfriend, no, the current wife and the ex-girlfriend always have an inexplicable fighting relationship, and this fighting is not diverted to the current girlfriend who has become her best friend.
The smoke of war permeated the poker table.
Ji Weibai: "Three barrels."
Shang Youxuan: “Nonsense.”
Ji Weibai: "Nine."
Shang Youxuan: "I'm wrong."
Qin Mu: "Hey, I also played nine last time, why didn't you win?"
Shang Youxuan glared at him.
Which is more important, a best friend or a girlfriend? This is an eternal question. Qin Mu looked at the chandelier in silence.
…
Laiying picked up the phone, walked out the door while talking, and said in surprise: "You're here? The address is right, it's here, I'll go out to pick you up... No, they will definitely welcome you..."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the door." The mysterious man surnamed Lou hung up the phone, shrank his neck, and grinned at the security guard who was gazing at her covetously, "Hello, security brother, my friend will come out to pick me up in a while."
The security guard was almost tired of seeing the girl coming out to pick up people several times tonight, so he let her take the person away without asking a single question.
Laiying disappeared while playing cards without attracting anyone's attention in the house. But when she came back, she attracted the attention of everyone in the living room. There is always a difference between one person and two people, especially a stranger.
Laiying said: "This is Lu Yinbing and Xia Yitong's friend."
The visitor introduced himself with a smile: "My last name is Lou, you can just call me Xiao Lou."
Several people looked over and saw that the woman who called herself Xiaolou had a pair of smiling eyes that were crescent-shaped when she smiled, and obvious bags under her eyes. The temperament she exuded was very clean, and at the same time, she had a hint of mystery that was hard to see through.
Laiying introduced the people in the living room to each other one by one, and pulled her to the kitchen for fear of chaos. He opened the kitchen door with a swish, and the people outside and inside looked at each other in surprise.
Lu Yinbing wiped his hands and cast a puzzled look at Laiying: "Who is this..."
Laiying chuckled and said, "Look carefully, don't you recognize it?"
Lu Yinbing said: "I really don't know him."
Laiying continued to hint maliciously: "Her last name is Lou."
Although the surname Lou is not uncommon, it is not very common either. Lu Yinbing almost immediately thought of the only person with the surname Lou who had an intersection with her. Somehow, the face of the clean and refreshing long-haired girl in front of her was suddenly covered with mosaics.
