Chapter 487: One Three

"What do you mean by cheating? My neck was sore, I was just looking up to relieve it."

Yuan Si hummed twice, but didn't take it.

If you get bad cards, losing is practically like going to jail. But for the sake of sustainable development, you have to put up with it.

[For all the CEIBS kids out there, school's starting soon!]

When Yu Shimiao saw Yu Shiyan heading towards the beverage area, she couldn't help but feel puzzled. "That's strange. He never used to take drinks on his own initiative, saying they were unhealthy."

"Are they that strict?"

"Of course!" Yu Shimiao's eyes widened, as if she wanted to accuse him to his face in a hundred or eighty words: "He has been controlling me since I was a child, it's so annoying."

My dad agrees to let me come over for barbecue occasionally, but he always nags about it.

Looking up and confirming that Yu Shiyan wouldn't be back anytime soon, Yu Shimiao immediately sat down next to Yuan Siyin and whispered to her, "Don't let his aloofness fool you, he's as talkative as a mother hen, most people just can't stand him."

Yuan Siyin couldn't help but laugh: "That means you're no ordinary person, having endured this for so many years."

With a new outlet for her pent-up resentment, Yu Shimiao groaned incessantly, almost striking a pose like Xi Shi clutching her heart: "If it weren't for the circumstances, who would be willing to..."

Before she could finish complaining, Yu Shiyan had already returned to the table and stood there. He stretched out his long, slender hand and placed the jasmine tea in front of the two of them. "Drink this. What did you just say you were willing to do?"

How come you're back so quickly!

Shouldn't he be there looking at the ingredient list before deciding which one to take?

Yu Shimiao, quick-witted, asked, "Would you like to play cards together?"

Yu Shiyan frowned slightly. "What kind of card game is this? Is it something you guys in your dorm playing together again?"

"I play it when I don't have classes, and winning or losing is all in game coins, so it doesn't cost any money."

Yu Shimiao nervously fiddled with his fingers, "And we can book a game with friends, so it's just the three of us playing."

Besides, a university experience without being addicted to Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) is incomplete.

However, Yu Shimiao didn't dare say this, for fear of being beaten.

Seeing that her brother remained silent, only frowning as always, Yu Shimiao immediately decided to look at the problem from a different angle. Instead, she snuggled into Yuan Siyin's arms and said coquettishly, "Come on, come on, Siyin-jie, come on too, it's so much fun."

Besides, there's so much barbecue, you can eat and grill as you go, it's not much trouble, otherwise just eating skewers in silence would be too lonely.

Yuan Siyin couldn't refuse her, so she had no choice but to agree, "Alright, alright, then you invite me."

"Okay!"

Yu Shimiao immediately beamed with joy, then sat back down next to Yu Shiyan, nudging his elbow with a gleeful expression.

Yu Shiyan didn't say anything, but calmly took out his phone.

[Replacing in progress~ Get some rest, my darlings]

"My angle is about right, and there aren't many people behind me, so it'll be easy to take pictures," Yu Shimiao shouted from the shore, her hand flailing like a megaphone.

"So, what should we film first?"

"Sit down first, Sister Siyin, keep this position in your hand, then lean on my brother and put the lotus lantern into the water."

She thought for a moment and added, "You can improvise as you like, but the point is to depict a couple in love making a wish and releasing lanterns together."

The filming is so lovey-dovey right from the start, is it really a serious story?

Yuan Siyin was both amused and exasperated, but followed her instructions: "Alright, then let's see how our screenwriter and director puts on their show."

"Of course!" Yu Shimiao answered excitedly, then cautiously glanced at Yu Shiyan, who had no expression.

Although Yu Shiyan was reluctant, he eventually sat down.
