"Xiao Yi, I'm feeling terrible. Would you like to keep me company?" Nan Wusi said to Xiao Yi in her heart.
"I'll be right there," Xiao Yi replied simply, and then fell silent.
While Nan Wusi was sitting by the window in a daze, she saw Xiao Yi leap into her room.
Originally, it was Nan Wusi who called Xiao Yi over, but now that Xiao Yi had actually come, Nan Wusi felt shy and stared at Xiao Yi for a long time without saying a word.
"Sisi, what's wrong?" Xiao Yi naturally took Nan Wusi's hand.
Nan Wusi's face instantly turned bright red. Is this what it feels like to be cared for? As someone who has never been in a relationship, Nan Wusi suddenly felt like she was in love.
"Actually, it's nothing serious. I'm just a little sad that Ye Zi left, and for a while, I feel like I don't have anyone to talk to," Nan Wusi explained.
"Why did Ye Zi leave? Do you need a new maid? Should I prepare one for you?" Xiao Yi's barrage of questions left Nan Wusi completely bewildered.
“I’ve sent Ye Zi to open a shop in Fanghong County. I’ll choose a new maid from the General’s Mansion, so you don’t need to trouble yourself. Besides, it’s not very convenient for you to prepare a maid for me,” Nan Wusi explained to Xiao Yi one by one.
"Why open a shop in Fanghong County? It's so far away, and you won't make much money there, will you?" Xiao Yi was puzzled. Isn't the purpose of opening a shop to make money? Why go to such a far place?
"I can't explain to you right now why I want to open a shop there." Nan Wusi changed the subject. "Oh, I just asked you to keep me company. Why do you keep asking me questions?"
"Okay, I won't ask anymore." Xiao Yi smiled indulgently. "How would you like me to accompany you?"
"Um, well, I haven't thought about it yet." Nan Wusi didn't expect Xiao Yi's question to be so tricky. Accompanying someone doesn't seem to require much companionship, right?
"Is there anything you want to eat? Anything you want to do? Anything you want to play?" Xiao Yi was trying his best to help Nan Wusi ease her sadness, but he didn't have much experience.
"There's food I want to eat, but nothing to do. What's there to do in the capital?" Nan Wusi pouted, feeling that life in ancient times was truly devoid of any fun.
"There are actually quite a few things to do, but none of them seem to be very suitable for you girls." As a "playboy," Xiao Yi naturally knew what fun things there were, but he didn't plan to take Nan Wusi to do them.
But when Nan Wusi heard this, her eyes lit up. That made sense! These playboys in ancient times knew how to have fun, but she had never experienced it in all the time she had been here.
Fortunately, he had nothing to do today, and Nanwusi was now itching to try out these new gadgets.
Xiao Yi sensed Nan Wusi's excitement and regretted what he had just said. He hadn't expected Nan Wusi to actually go and have fun.
"Are you sure you want to go?" Xiao Yi asked.
"I want to think about it." Nan Wusi nodded frantically. She really wanted to go out right now.
“It’s not appropriate for us to go out like this. We should dress up a bit. And once we’re out, you have to listen to me and not act on your own,” Xiao Yi emphasized.
"No problem, I'll do whatever you say." Nan Wusi nodded vigorously and said, "I'm good at disguises, leave it to me."
So Nan Wusi spent an hour fussing over the two people's appearances, completely transforming them.
Nan Wusi looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction. She believed that even if her second brother stood in front of her now, he wouldn't recognize her.
However, Xiao Yi's white eyes were too conspicuous, so Nan Wusi had no choice but to cover his eyes with a strip of cloth.
Then the two changed into a set of simple clothes, looking no different from ordinary people.
"Now that we've changed, where are we going?" Nan Wusi looked at Xiao Yi with bright eyes, eager to know where he would take her.
Xiao Yi led Nan Wusi directly to the cockfighting arena, an entertainment activity enjoyed by both nobles and commoners.
Nan Wusi looked around curiously and saw that people had formed a circle in the large open space, where two chickens were fighting, while a group of people cheered them on.
Nan Wusi had never witnessed cockfighting before, but now that he saw it, he felt it was intense, exciting, and brutal.
Although the people around him were shouting enthusiastically, Nan Wusi didn't feel any enjoyment from it at all. So, is this really just a difference in interests between men and women?
Feeling bored, Nan Wusi pulled Xiao Yi to leave. Xiao Yi, of course, didn't care; he had no interest in such things anyway.
Next, the two went to an underground casino, which was bustling with noise and people.
The casino's games were fairly standard, similar to what Nan Wusi had seen on TV. However, since she was already there, she was itching to try her hand at gambling and planned to stop after a few rounds.
"Interested?" Xiao Yi whispered in Nan Wusi's ear.
"Yeah, I'm planning to try it out a few times." Nan Wusi nodded honestly. Although this stuff is addictive, he was indeed a little tempted to try it since he had never played it before.
"Do you want me to help you win?" Xiao Yi then asked.
"I'll try it myself first. If I lose too much, you can help me win it back, okay?" Nan Wusi still wanted to try it himself first. It seemed a bit inappropriate to cheat right away.
"Alright, you can try it first." Xiao Yi chuckled, seemingly convinced that Nan Wusi couldn't win money.
Namo Si enthusiastically placed his bets, and unexpectedly won several rounds in a row.
At this point, she was unaware that she had already attracted the attention of the bookmakers.
In the next few rounds, Nan Wusi kept losing until he realized that he had lost all his money.
Nan Wusi was furious when he saw the smirking face of the dealer and was about to cause trouble when Xiao Yi stopped him.
Xiao Yi handed her a money pouch and said, "I'll help you."
“Okay.” Nan Wusi looked at Xiao Yi and understood. He must have known from the beginning that the dealer would cheat, which is why he kept saying he would help her.
So in the following time, Nan Wusi and Xiao Yi worked together seamlessly and quickly won back all the money they had lost, and even won a lot more.
Just as the dealer was about to call for backup, Xiao Yi told Nan Wusi to stop, because continuing to win would definitely cause trouble.
Fortunately, Nan Wusi wasn't really addicted; she was just a little angry that the bookmaker was cheating people like that.
"These gambling dens are truly lawless, cheating repeatedly." Nan Wusi couldn't help but feel sorry for these gamblers. "I really don't understand why these people still gamble even knowing they will lose money."
"Because as soon as one person wins money, everyone else will think that they will be the next to win," Xiao Yi said with a smile. "Little do they know that most of these winners are also people arranged by the gambling house."
"Furthermore, these gambling dens have not been exposed for cheating, so even if someone does know that they are cheating, they can only suffer in silence."
"This is so boring." Nan Wusi pouted. "What are we going to do next?"
