This was Shen Nianchu's first time participating in their game. At first, he didn't understand why the other three people sat at the card table with such a look of despair, until Lu Jinzhou became the banker for the tenth hand.
As expected, Lu Jinzhou pushed down the few remaining cards on the table and said, "Win."
Looking at the extra chips in his hand, Shen Nianchu's eyes were shining, "How do you play cards so well? You are so amazing~"
Jiang Qinian's teeth clenched as he listened. "Why would I set up this game if I had nothing better to do? Not only do I lose money, but I also get fed dog food. You must be feeling really good to have someone at the poker table admiring you so much, right, big brother?"
Lu Jinzhou bit the cigarette between his teeth, one hand around Shen Nianchu's slender waist, his posture lazy, "I envy you for bringing your girlfriend next time."
Jiang Qinian lit up another cigarette irritably: "Forget it, even if I bring one, it would be embarrassing if I can't win."
Lu Xingzhou laughed: "You seem to know what's going on."
Cheng Che took the chips and placed them next to Shen Nianchu's hand, his heart aching. "Alas, why did we do it in the first place? Oh, sister-in-law, Brother Jin sings beautifully. Has he ever sung for you?"
Shen Nianchu suddenly became interested and looked at the man beside him with wide eyes. His deep and magnetic voice could make any song sound good. And the equipment here was perfect. "I want to listen."
Lu Jinzhou patted her lower back and said, "He's trying to divert your attention. Are you stupid?"
"Then I want to listen too," Shen Nianchu's coquettish look didn't work, so she leaned close to his ear and said something in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Lu Jinzhou smiled and raised his eyebrows, "I'll sing once I earn enough to reach my goal. Don't deny what you said."
Jiang Qinian's eyes were full of teasing as he threw a 60,000 yuan note and said, "What did you say, sister-in-law? Everyone listen. What's the point of whispering in your ear?"
Lu Jinzhou: "Ping, fun, you don't understand."
Jiang Qinian: “…”
The stakes were high for several of them, and Lu Jinzhou was a genius at memorizing the cards, so it didn't take long for him to win a small goal.
Lu Jinzhou ordered the song "Your Man".
His voice was deep and rich, full of magnetism, and carried an indescribable charm. Shen Nianchu was completely immersed in his singing one sentence after another.
…
Until she returned to Lanting Yaju, she was still watching the video of Lu Jinzhou singing recorded on her mobile phone.
She had just taken off her shoes at the entrance when she felt dizzy and was pushed against the wall. Lu Jinzhou protected the back of her head with one hand and pinched her slender waist with the other. "I'm right here. Are you sure you want to see the video?"
The song sung by Lu Jinzhou was still playing on the phone. Shen Nianchu raised her eyes, almost drowning in his deep eyes, "It's different."
"What's different? It's all me. You said before that you owed me one. When will you fulfill your promise?"
Shen Nianchu raised his unsightly left hand, which was wrapped in plaster and was extremely heavy. "This might reduce the experience by half."
Lu Jinzhou seemed to be deflated. He pinched her cheek lightly as if to punish her before letting her go.
He pulled his phone out of his pocket and called Jiang Qinian, "Tell someone to take care of Nan Yunshu in prison."
It’s all Nan Yunshu’s fault.
Of course, this care is not that care.
Shen Nianchu's phone also received a WeChat notification, which was a friend verification from He Yanbei.
Just after I passed, He Yanbei sent me a message: [I've been talking about the script this afternoon and forgot to ask if your uncle and aunt are doing well?]
Shen Nianchu: [Everything is fine.]
He Yanbei: [I want to visit my uncle and aunt at the Shen family in a couple of days. Would it be convenient for you to accompany me?]
Shen Nianchu: [Okay, my mom would definitely be happy if she knew you were going to visit her.]
He Yanbei: [Go to bed early. I'll set a time for you.] He Yanbei: [Good night, Xiao Nianchu.]
Chen Nianchu: [Okay, good night, Brother Yanbei.]
"Are you close to He Yanbei?"
Shen Nianchu was not very convenient to type with one hand, so she was concentrating so hard that she didn't realize when Lu Jinzhou sat next to her. This question startled her, "Why are you walking so quietly?"
Seeing his expression change slightly, she quickly confessed, "He's really like a brother. Not a real brother, but better than a real brother, like a family member. Do you understand?"
Lu Jinzhou glared at her for a long while before he picked her up and carried her to the bathroom.
"Since you've provoked me, you have to be careful when interacting with other men. You treat him as your brother, but he might want to be your husband."
Shen Nianchu put his arm around his neck and said, "You really think too much. I was just a little brat in his eyes before. When he was taking care of me, he always said that I was holding him back. How could he have such thoughts?"
"Don't take my words for granted. If I tell you seriously, just remember it."
Seeing that his expression was too serious, Shen Nianchu responded softly without saying anything back. However, after joining the crew next week to film an idol drama, what should she do about Lu Jinzhou's jealous nature...
…
The day before Shen Nianchu removed the plaster, He Yanbei finally took out a dinner time to visit the Shen family.
Yu Wanhua personally cooked and prepared many dishes that He Yanbei liked to eat when he was a child.
"Yan Bei, try it and see if it tastes the same as before. I haven't cooked for a long time, I don't know if it suits your taste."
He Yanbei picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and said, "I used to love this dish of yours. It's still the same as before. Every time I crave it abroad, I think of your dish. My mom can never make it taste this good."
Yu Wanhua's face was filled with a happy smile, which was rare. She looked radiant.
"As long as you like it, I'm glad you eat it. From now on, when she's free, ask Nian Chu to bring you here. If she doesn't come, you can come by yourself."
"Okay, sure."
Shen Nianchu took a sip of boiled beef and said, "Mom, Brother Yanbei is very busy at work, so he doesn't have time to come here often."
Yu Wanhua took the piece of beef from her bowl.
"Your wrist injury hasn't healed yet, and you're already eating spicy food. Do you think you'll recover? When will you change your greedy habit?"
"Why are you not letting me eat the boiled beef?"
"Yan Bei likes to eat. Yan Bei, eat more. Look how thin you are."
He Yanbei: "Okay, auntie, but why don't you see uncle today? Isn't it Sunday? Is he busy too?"
The bitterness in Yu Wanhua's eyes flashed away, and she smiled and said, "He is just a workaholic. Business is not doing well now, so he went to socialize."
“Oh, that’s really a pity. I still want to play a game of chess with Uncle Shen. Let’s wait for next time. Where’s Grandma Shen?”
“Isn’t Shen Wanqing getting married? Your grandma Shen is accompanying her to try on wedding dresses today, and we’ll have dinner outside.”
Ever since she was exposed for faking her single status to participate in a dating variety show and was filming multiple other shows, she seemed to have disappeared for a while. She was on the hot search list for a few days, and then there was no news about her.
Shen Nianchu was really shocked: "She's getting married? To whom? When?"
