Chapter 179 A Man's Desire to Win
The alarm clock rang.
Finally free!
Xu Qingwu breathed a sigh of relief quietly, her clenched fists already slightly sweaty. She jumped off Cen Xihuai's legs and drank the coffee in front of her in one gulp.
I realized the taste was not right after I drank it.
She added two sugars to her coffee, which was bittersweet, but this cup was a bit too bitter.
Looking down, she saw her own cups, with faint lipstick marks on the walls, lying alone on the table.
She drank Cen Xihuai's coffee...
Why does he like such a bitter taste? It makes the root of his tongue numb.
Xu Qingwu's face wrinkled as she swallowed hard to suppress the bitter feeling, when suddenly the aroma of peaches came to her nose.
It was handed to me by Cen Xihuai, a pink fruit candy with the plastic wrapping already removed.
Xu Qingwu ate the candy from his hand, and the sweetness spread in her mouth.
Feeling alive.
While chewing, Xu Qingwu said to Cen Xihuai, "I accidentally finished your coffee."
Cen Xihuai smiled and said, "It's okay, I can drink yours."
"But mine is sweeter, are you used to it?"
"You can have something sweet once in a while."
Cen Xihuai took her coffee cup, and before Xu Qingwu could stop him, she saw him take a sip with the lipstick mark on it.
Xu Qingwu's hand holding the tissue paused.
Yang Yu's expression when looking at the two of them now is just like that emoticon of the foreign man holding his chin and looking at the couple.
It turns out that real couples are the best!
Playing Jenga all the time was boring, so Jiang Jun asked them, "Do you want to play cards?"
No one had any objection, so Jiang Jun suggested that two of them play four-player Landlord for their teammates.
Before dealing the cards, Jiang Jun asked for their opinions: "How big should we bet?"
Yang Yu advised, "It's just entertainment, so why not pay for it?"
"It's boring if you don't play for money, just play for fun." Jiang Jun looked at Cen Xihuai, "Brother Cen, what do you think?"
Cen Xihuai said calmly, "We are a couple and we are free to do whatever we want."
Jiang Jun's eyes lit up: "How about starting with 100 and double the bombs?"
Cen Xihuai: "Okay."
Because there are two people in a team, they can look at each other's cards.
Xu Qingwu and Cen Xihuai were both sitting quietly, only occasionally whispering to each other, while Yang Yu was almost sticking to Jiang Jun's arms, the two of them were simply getting to be too close to each other.
Yang Yu and Jiang Jun won three games in a row. Jiang Jun couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes. He pretended to be kind and asked Cen Xihuai, "Brother Cen, do you want to deal the cards?"
Xu Qingwu remembered that Cen Xihuai had dealt cards to her and Chen Ke before. He was quite good at cheating. If he dealt the cards, Jiang Jun and the others probably wouldn't have a chance of winning.
However, Cen Xihuai just shook his head and motioned Jiang Jun to continue.
After losing a few more games, Xu Qingwu, who could see Cen Xihuai's cards, confirmed his guess.
Cen Xihuai lost on purpose because their cards clearly could have won them.
But she didn't understand why Cen Xihuai was like this.
After earning several thousand yuan by playing cards a few times, Jiang Jun got a little carried away and teased Cen Xihuai, "Brother Cen, your luck is a bit bad!"
Cen Xihuai smiled slightly: "You are lucky."
Jiang Jun disagreed: "Maybe I'm just good. I've rarely lost when playing cards with my roommates."
Then not long after he finished speaking, the game was lost because the bombs doubled more than once, and half of the money he had just won was lost.
Cen Xihuai asked, "Do you want to end the game?"
Jiang Jun said decisively: "Continue!"
So the game started again, and the situation changed. This time, Yang Yu and Jiang Jun were the ones who lost.
As the money he won was lost bit by bit, Jiang Jun became more and more impatient. He scratched his head more and more often, and pushed Yang Yu to sit on the chair. It was obvious that he was going to get serious.
However, the more seriously they played, the faster they lost. Seeing that all their winnings had been lost, Yang Yu stopped them and said, "Why don't we stop playing? I'm a little hungry. Should we make some ramen first?"
Jiang Jun was reluctant, but Cen Xihuai finally spoke up: "Let's continue after dinner. We can't let the lady go hungry."
Halftime break.
The restroom here is built on a slope and has thirty steps, which is a bit difficult.
Yang Yu went to the toilet, and Jiang Jun insisted on going with her. Xu Qingwu and Cen Xihuai followed them to wash their hands.
Xu Qingwu looked at the two people in front of her who were jostling each other, talking, laughing and hugging each other, and then looked at her and Cen Xihuai who were walking quietly side by side.
I'm a little envious of their intimacy.
Xu Qingwu sighed, "This little brother Yang Yutan is talking about is so clingy, he even has to accompany her to the bathroom."
Cen Xihuai looked slightly disdainful: "Adults should learn to be independent."
Oh, he really doesn't like clingy people.
Xu Qingwu tentatively said, "It's so sweet to see them dating. Dating is actually pretty good, isn't it?"
In her expectant eyes, Cen Xihuai's rational voice rang out: "A romantic relationship can break up at any time, but a marriage is the most stable relationship."
Well, he doesn't seem to like relationships either.
Xu Qingwu seemed to have lost all her strength and means, she really had no other options.
They have been married for so long, can she still force a man who doesn't like clinging or dating to date her?
Forget it, let it be.
Xu Qingwu sighed silently and walked forward in silence.
Unexpectedly, the two people in front became more and more excessive. They wanted to kiss each other while walking. When they reached the stairs, Jiang Jun even squatted down and wanted to carry Yang Yu up.
For the first time, Xu Qingwu felt sour and envied other people's sweet love.
Unfortunately, she married young and her husband is a straight man who doesn't understand romance.
She probably won't be able to have a sweet love life.
Seeing Xu Qingwu staring at the two people, Cen Xihuai seemed to be thinking about something and asked her, "Do you want to carry me on your back?"
He is such a good learner, how come he can't learn from such a ready-made example?
If you want to memorize it, just memorize it. Who would ask specifically?
"No need." Xu Qingwu refused, but couldn't help but complain, "Other people are young and strong, it's the best time to fall in love. There's no need for married people like us to join in the fun."
Cen Xihuai grasped the key point very accurately from her words.
Is she envious of other people's boyfriends? They are young and strong, right?
Cen Xihuai's face instantly turned as dark as the charcoal in the fire.
Just as Xu Qingwu stepped onto the stairs, she felt her body suddenly float in the air, and Cen Xihuai, with a sullen face, picked her up.
Or a princess hug.
Someone looked over, and Xu Qingwu felt a little embarrassed. She quickly patted his arm and said, "What are you doing? Put me down."
Cen Xihuai said in a deep voice: "The facts prove that even if you are older, you can still have good physical strength."
It turns out that it is the men's desire to win that is at work.
Xu Qingwu said angrily, "Why are you competing with a twenty-year-old brother? Don't twist your waist!"
Cen Xihuai interrupted her: "For your lifelong happiness, I will be careful with my waist."
Seeing the people next to her laughing, Xu Qingwu felt ashamed, but Cen Xihuai was unwilling to let her down and insisted on proving that although he was old, he was still very strong.
Xu Qingwu buried her head in his arms and chose to be an ostrich.
Let Cen Xihuai be the only one to lose face.
