Chapter 45: How many boyfriends have you had?

Views:

While I was standing there, hesitating whether to sit over or not.

Luo Xiangdong suddenly turned his head and looked at me. His face was pale, showing no emotion or anger. He just opened his thin lips and said directly: "Come and sit."

The sentence "Come and sit down" may seem light and gentle, but it contains a commanding tone.

I was hesitating a second ago, but this second I immediately walked over, carrying a leather dumpling, and sat on the right side of Luo Xiangdong, keeping a close distance from him.

At first, no one spoke a word, and there was only the sound of playing cards in the quiet room.

I sat upright in the chair with my back straight. This would only make me more tired, but I still couldn't relax.

I know nothing about mahjong. Even though I have been with my mother since I was a child, I have watched hundreds if not thousands of mahjong games.

Most people say that if you look at something for a long time, you will become good at it. But this is completely useless to me. After watching them for so many years, I still don’t understand how they win because each of their cards is different.

In the past two days, I have been so busy with all kinds of annoying and trivial things that I hit the back of my head with my feet and my spirit was extremely tense.

After finally stopping, I just wanted to dive into bed and have a good sleep.

But who would have thought that he would be forced to sit here and watch others play mahjong without a clue. Most people would not believe it if he told it.

After watching several games in a row, my temples were beating faintly, and I was starting to lose my patience.

Just as I was thinking about finding a reason to leave, someone suddenly said, "Xiao Liang, where are you from? The accent sounds like you're not from Ye City."

I looked up and saw that it was the man with peach blossom eyes who was speaking.

I nodded and replied, "I'm not from Yecheng. My hometown is Liangcheng."

The man showed a confused expression and whispered softly: "Liangcheng? Never heard of it."

I smiled lightly and replied: "A small third-tier northern city."

The man groaned, nodded and said, "How many people are there in the family? Are you the only child?"

"We are a family of three, and I am an only child."

"It's good to be an only child. Your parents will pamper you alone and give you all the good things."

The man said it calmly, and I responded with a smile: "Yes, it can only be given to me."

The man in a white shirt played a card and asked, seemingly unintentionally: "What profession are Miss Liang's parents engaged in?"

I paused slightly, then replied loudly: "My father is in the service industry, and my mother is in the education industry."

The police work for the people...should they belong to the service industry, right

"It turns out that Miss Liang's mother is in the education industry. What does she teach?"

"music."

After I finished speaking, the peach-eyed man opposite smiled and asked, "Then you must be good at singing?"

I laughed a little awkwardly and replied aloud: "It's just normal. It's just in tune."

"Then do you know any musical instrument?"

This really hurts me.

My mother has an eighth grade piano and is proficient in accordion, harmonica, and flute. As a result, I didn’t know anything. I once asked my mother why she didn’t teach me a few musical instruments when I was a child. Girls can play the piano and so on. They are so charming.

In the end, my mother only replied to me: "When you were a kid, you couldn't even separate your fat fingers. You couldn't even play the accordion, let alone the piano."

So my childhood has been very happy...

The sad past flashed away in my mind, and I replied with a faint smile: "I can play a few simple songs."

"Really? Well, there happens to be a piano in this room. Do you want to play one?"

I said: "No more..."

"Why are you so polite? There are no outsiders here."

Are there no outsiders

It seemed like the few people in this room were all outsiders to me.

I was so overwhelmed by the hospitality that I had no choice but to get up, walk to the white grand piano placed by the window, sit down, and turn my head to look at the mahjong table.

Except for the cool man in a black shirt, three other people, including Luo Xiangdong, looked at me at the same time.

This made me feel even more stressed, and I couldn’t help but smile and nod my head.

The peach-eyed man also raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "Xiaoliang, don't be nervous, we won't laugh at you if you can't play well."

I turned my head, took a deep breath, raised my hands, and placed my slender fingers gently on the black and white keys.

Recalling the simple music score I had memorized hard, five seconds later, I played the first note, followed by the second.

The light and bright piano sound instantly filled the whole room. It only lasted one minute, and I finally gritted my teeth and played it.

After I finished playing, I was afraid that they would ask me to play again, so I quickly put down the piano cover and turned away.

It was good to turn around this time, even the man wearing a black shirt with his back to me turned to look at me.

Four good-looking men at the table looked at me intently at the same time, and I immediately blushed.

A full five seconds passed before Luo Xiangdong spoke to someone. He raised his eyes slightly and said, "You can only play this one song?"

I nodded awkwardly.

The man with peach blossom eyes looked at me with a strange expression and confirmed aloud: "Two tigers?"

I nodded again.

In the end, the man in the white shirt was the first to laugh out loud, followed closely by the man with peach blossom eyes. He was so happy that he almost said to me in a trembling voice: "Xiao Liang, you are so funny."

I swear to God, I really can’t laugh right now.

Is this a naked mockery

The corners of Luo Xiangdong's lips seemed to twitch. I thought he would say something, but in the end he just turned his head away. I guess he was out of sight and out of mind.

Embarrassed, I returned to my seat and sat down. The man in the white shirt smiled and said to me: "It seems that Miss Liang must have had a happy childhood."

I smiled stiffly and nodded, thinking that it was true.

Several people continued to play cards, and during this period they did not stop 'interviewing' me.

The peach-eyed man asked accidentally: "Xiao Liang, how many boyfriends have you had?"

My face suddenly froze. I could answer all the other questions they asked before, but this one...

Seeing that I didn't say anything, other than Luo Xiangdong and the man in the black shirt, the other two people at the table looked up at me at the same time.

I didn't want to make the atmosphere too awkward, so I had to bite the bullet and replied softly: "One."

The peach-eyed man smiled, and then said: "So few? I thought you must have talked about many."

I tried to calm down the sudden irritation in my heart, and said with a slight smile: "Really."

He replied aloud: "Last time I saw you arguing with that man in the hotel, I was wondering how there are girls nowadays who are so serious about relationships. Relationships are your first love."

Hearing this, my expression suddenly changed. Hotel

The man looked at the surprise on my face and asked suspiciously, "Don't you remember?"

I just barely remember meeting Luo Xiangdong in the hotel, but I don’t remember him.

The man said with a half-smile, "It seems you are quite forgetful. This is the second time we have met."

After that, he added: "It doesn't matter if we split up. What kind of one do you like? I'll introduce you to another one if I meet the right one tomorrow."

I thought in my mind that I would make a gesture of smiling without saying a word, but in fact, there was only silence and no laughter.

While the two of us were talking, Luo Xiangdong suddenly pushed down the cards in front of him. The man with peach-blossom eyes took a closer look and couldn't help but frown and said, "It's three families again. Have you played all your hands today?"

Luo Xiangdong had no expression on his face and replied directly: "Who told you to talk so much and not concentrate on playing cards? What you ordered will be tripled."

When the peach-eyed man heard this, he mumbled a few words, then took out some pieces of paper from under the card table and handed them to Luo Xiangdong. I looked closely and saw that they were checks.

It really opened my eyes that rich people use checks when playing cards.

Everyone pushed the mahjong into the mahjong machine and the machine shuffled the cards.

During this period, Luo Xiangdong suddenly turned his head and looked at me. His face was calm and he asked aloud: "Have the matters with your ex-boyfriend been resolved?"

I was stunned, not expecting him to ask me this topic.

Seeing this, Luo Xiangdong said directly: "Zeyu is right, you have divided your points. You can just find someone else in the future. Don't be crazy all day long. When you see others, you will treat them like enemies. You will lose your points."

After he finished speaking, the peach-eyed man smiled and said, "I haven't told you for a long time. My name is Zheng Zeyu. If you like, please call me uncle."

I didn't hear clearly, so I instinctively looked hesitant and asked a question.

The man in a white shirt smiled and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. He is joking with you. My name is Wei Zheng."

I nodded and replied, "Hello."

Luo Xiangdong next to me looked at me and said hoarsely: "It's not like we just met, why would I say hello suddenly?"

My face turned red immediately, and I felt very embarrassed when he said that.

In fact, I blame myself in my heart. I'm afraid I can't get rid of my habit of talking nonsense when I'm in a hurry.

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "It's okay. We've officially met each other now. It's okay to say hello."

Zheng Zeyu also smiled and said: "Xiao Liang, people say that once they are born, they will become familiar again. This is the second time we have met. From now on, we will be considered friends, right?"

I straightened my back nervously and raised the corners of my lips, but I didn't know what to say in reply.

After all, the people around Luo Xiangdong are either rich or noble. If he gets too close, he may be accused of being a high-flying person, but if he deliberately avoids them, he may be misunderstood as showing off.

Just when I was hesitating, Luo Xiangdong raised his chin unexpectedly, glanced at the handsome guy in the black shirt on my right, and said loudly: "He is Qin Yichuan, remember this when we meet and greet him in the future."

I glanced at the handsome and taciturn man on the right, nodded, and then replied to Luo Xiangdong: "Remember."

Luo Xiangdong hummed, and then said, "There's no more coffee. Let's make another cup."

I stood up, took the cups that a few people were holding, and walked to the kitchen.

When I came to the kitchen, I let out a long sigh of relief. To be honest, I would rather be busy in the kitchen than sit next to Luo Xiangdong.

The powerful aura emanating from his body almost crushed my insides and made it difficult for me to breathe.

Coupled with the continuous questioning from Zheng Zeyu and Wei Zheng, I was really on pins and needles.

After adding new coffee to each person and putting it in their hands, I looked for an opportunity to tell Luo Xiangdong that I wanted to leave.

After waiting for several times, Luo Xiangdong finally won by pushing the card. I took advantage of the situation and said: "Mr. Luo, if..."

If it's okay, I'll leave first.

This sentence had just begun, when suddenly the ringtone of a mobile phone came from the room, and Luo Xiangdong said to me: "Bring me my mobile phone."

I stood up instinctively again, and Luo Xiangdong pointed to the coat on the hanger not far away.

I walked over quickly and took my phone out of my coat pocket.

I had no intention of looking at his cell phone, but when I took it out, the screen rushed towards me, and I saw the words 'Yi Yang' calling were displayed on the screen.

Yi Yang... Kuang Yi Yang's appearance subconsciously appeared in my mind.

He handed the phone to Luo Xiangdong. Luo Xiangdong took it and looked at it. He stood up and said to me, "Play with it for me."

I looked embarrassed and replied: "I don't know how to play."

Luo Xiangdong said: "Hit me casually."

After that, he took his mobile phone and walked out. I heard him answer the phone, his voice was rare and gentle, and he even said with a smile: "You call a few times a day, you are really stricter than a police officer..." "

I was thinking about whether the person who called Luo Xiangdong was Kuang Yiyang, and if so, what was the relationship between the two.

The mahjong machine shuffled the cards, and everyone started to draw the cards one by one. I didn’t know how to catch the cards, so Zheng Zeyu, who was sitting next to me, helped me out.

I grabbed all the cards in front of me, and then arranged them in order according to the strips, tubes, and ten thousand.

After Luo Xiangdong went out, Zheng Zeyu asked aloud: "Xiao Liang, you haven't told me before, what kind of man do you like."

I tried my best to keep my mind focused, looked at my cards intently, and replied calmly: "I won't cheat."
