Chapter 236: Have Fun
"Don't worry, you'll get used to it slowly."
Lin Xuan's voice was low and gentle. He quietly reached out his hand under the table and gently covered the back of Ye Wanqing's hand. Then, he carefully massaged her fingers one by one.
Ye Wanqing's cheeks unconsciously turned red, and a hint of shyness welled up in her heart, but fortunately, the two people's secret little movements were cleverly concealed by the wide sleeves and the edge of the table, and did not attract the attention of others.
She gently moved her wrist, trying to break free from this gentle bond, but failed. So, she tilted her head, her eyes conveying a question, looking at Lin Xuan who was looking at her intently.
Lin Xuan also turned his head at the right time, and their eyes met in the air. His eyes were as clear as water, as if everything that had just happened was just a passing breeze, and nothing had happened.
Ye Wanqing's heart trembled slightly, and a subtle arc appeared at the corner of her mouth. Then, she raised her wrist slightly and played a card.
Lin Xuan sat beside her, like a silent guardian, quietly observing her every move, neither interfering nor commenting on her choices, but just accompanying her silently.
After several rounds, the situation at the table was up and down. Although Ye Wanqing did not win a big victory, she did not lose either, which formed an interesting contrast with Qin Huai's steady winning chances.
As time passed and the night deepened, Qin Huai's luck in playing cards seemed to change quietly with the arrival of night, from his previous continuous success to continuous failure.
On the other hand, Ye Wanqing's card skills seemed to be endowed with magic by the night. She won several games in a row, and each game was a big win.
"It's already past ten o'clock."
Lin Xuan's eyes were filled with worry. He looked at Ye Wanqing's slightly tired expression and asked softly, "Do you want to continue?"
Qin Huai was still not satisfied. After all, he had already given back all the money he had won at the beginning. He was having a great time playing and naturally didn't want to give up.
"It's still early, how about playing a few more games?"
Ye Wanqing looked down at the chips that were piling up in front of her, a faint smile playing on her lips: "Okay, let's play a few more rounds. This mahjong is really interesting."
A barely perceptible light flashed in Lin Xuan's black eyes, and then he nodded tolerantly.
In the next few rounds, Qin Huai found that the game progressed extremely quickly. Often, before he could sort out his cards, Ye Wanqing had already announced a hand.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it was already eleven o'clock. Ye Wanqing yawned unconsciously. Seeing this, Lin Xuan distressedly dissuaded her:
"Let's stop here for today and play again another day."
Li Chenfeng also suggested at the right time: "I have an important morning meeting tomorrow, let's make an appointment another day."
Qin Huai wanted to persuade them again, but seeing the tired looks on everyone's faces, he finally swallowed his words back.
He looked at the pile of chips in front of Ye Wanqing, and smiled bitterly with a hint of helplessness: "Miss Ye, didn't you say you didn't know how to play mahjong?"
That night, they played a total of thirty games. Ye Wanqing actually won ten games by self-drawing, and each time the number was large. There were even a few games where she won all the games by self-drawing, and one game was sixty points.
In the last few rounds, she also won a big four, which amazed everyone present.
Whenever Ye Wanqing won the hand, Qin Huai secretly thanked God that it was not a self-draw, otherwise he would have lost a lot of good things.
After more than two hours of card games, Ye Wanqing won nearly 600,000 yuan, while Qin Huai lost more than 400,000 yuan, becoming the one who lost the most.
Naturally, they didn't care much about these numbers, but Qin Huai was a man with average card skills but a huge addiction. He had heard that Ye Wanqing was not very good at playing mahjong, so he thought he could show his skills, but he didn't expect to become the biggest loser in the end.
Ye Wanqing smiled slightly, with a hint of humility in her eyes: "I have indeed only played mahjong a few times."
Qin Huai could only smile bitterly and shake his head: "Then your good luck period as a novice is really long!"
Li Chenfeng had already seen through everything. Although Ye Wanqing was a newbie to mahjong, she had a strong learning ability and an excellent memory.
Qin Huai sat next to her. She deliberately let Qin Huai win at the beginning to make him confident. Then she began to cleverly control the game, making Qin Huai lose repeatedly.
Every time a game started, after a few rounds, Ye Wanqing could roughly grasp everyone's playing habits. Only Qin Huai was still in the dark, thinking it was just "beginner's luck" at work.
Li Chenfeng smiled and stood up tacitly: "Let's go, don't disturb the young couple, how long do we want to be a light bulb?"
Li Chenfeng said this, put his arm around Qin Huai's shoulders, and half-jokingly pulled him out of the box.
When the noise in the box gradually faded away and only Ye Wanqing and Lin Xuan were left sitting opposite each other, a subtle atmosphere quietly spread.
Ye Wanqing's gaze unconsciously fell on Lin Xuan. Seeing that he was looking at her with a gentle and deep look, her cheeks couldn't help but blush.
"Did I win a little too much tonight?" There was a hint of uncertainty in Ye Wanqing's voice, as if she was asking, or talking to herself.
Lin Xuan smiled gently, his smile was warm and inclusive. He pushed the chips on the table aside and began to carefully sort them by color. Every movement revealed a calm and unhurried temperament.
After finishing, he picked up his phone, skillfully took a photo and uploaded it to their circle of friends, with a short line of text: "A small harvest tonight."
Soon, a prompt message flashed on the mobile phone screen, and Lin Xuan's Alipay account received transfers from friends one after another.
At the same time, Ye Wanqing's cell phone vibrated. She picked it up and found that Lin Xuan had quietly transferred more than 500,000 yuan to her Alipay account.
"Are you really giving it all to me?" Ye Wanqing looked at Lin Xuan in surprise, with curiosity and confusion flashing in her eyes.
Lin Xuan gently held her hand, his eyes full of affirmation and encouragement: "Of course, didn't you win this with your own strength?"
There was a subtle hint of pride and fondness in his tone.
Ye Wanqing's cheeks became even redder. She lowered her head slightly, with a hint of shyness in her voice:
"I really won based on my own strength."
Recalling everything that happened tonight, Ye Wanqing was in a particularly good mood. She turned to look at Lin Xuan and suggested:
"Want to go get a late-night snack to celebrate?"
Lin Xuan smiled slightly, as if he had already seen through her thoughts: "Okay, what do you want to eat?"
Ye Wanqing thought about it, then winked mischievously: "Let's not eat barbecue this time, let's change the taste."
"How about seafood porridge?" Lin Xuan suggested with a hint of anticipation in his tone.
"Okay, I'll treat you." Ye Wanqing agreed readily. After all, she had gained a lot tonight.
Twenty minutes later, their car stopped in front of an elegantly decorated porridge shop.
Ye Wanqing could tell at a glance that the porridge shop was quite expensive, but what surprised her even more was that she actually ran into Qin Huai and his group who were also here for a midnight snack.
Qin Huai had figured it out on the way here. He realized Ye Wanqing's ability to remember cards and was discussing tonight's card game with Li Chenfeng. Li Chenfeng already knew everything, and at Qin Huai's surprise, they just smiled faintly and didn't say much.
However, Qin Huai's words happened to be heard by Ye Wanqing and Lin Xuan who had just got off the car.
The scene suddenly became a little awkward. Qin Huai was too embarrassed to suggest having a midnight snack together. He could only apologize awkwardly and praise Ye Wanqing a few words, then hurriedly walked to the other side with Li Chenfeng.
Li Chenfeng looked at Qin Huai's back and smacked his lips: "It seems that your luck today has run out during the day!"
Qin Huai glared at Li Chenfeng: "Why didn't you remind me just now?"
Li Chenfeng spread his hands innocently: "I just saw it."
Qin Huai gritted his teeth and said, "Bad friend!"
Recalling Lin Xuan's deep eyes just now, Qin Huai couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. He secretly thanked himself for not doing anything extreme just now, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
On the other side, Lin Xuan and Ye Wanqing had already found a seat by the window and sat down.
Although this porridge shop is crowded, the environment is extremely elegant, the space is spacious and bright, and it is very suitable for a late-night snack.
Ye Wanqing looked at the various porridges on the menu and felt a little dazzled.
She turned to look at Lin Xuan: "How do you know this store?"
Lin Xuan smiled slightly: "I asked Secretary Zhao to check. This store has a good reputation. I think you should like it."
Ye Wanqing recalled their previous experience of going to the hospital in the middle of the night, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She looked at Lin Xuan gratefully: "I'm sorry for the trouble."
Lin Xuan shook his head gently: "It's nothing, after all the hardship comes happiness. As long as you are happy."
He paused, then looked at Ye Wanqing seriously: "Don't take Qin Huai's words to heart. You didn't do anything wrong. You just used your wisdom and memory."
Ye Wanqing nodded and took a sip of warm water: "He's not wrong, I did put some thought into it. However, not everyone can understand me like you do."
Lin Xuan gently held her hand: "I know it's not your fault that you have such a good memory. On the contrary, it's your advantage."
