Chapter 229: Encircling Territory



Yan Xianjue originally thought that shout would make Lei Xuan quiet down for a while.

Unexpectedly, less than ten minutes passed.

He heard the sound of Lei Xuan directing the cruise ship staff to open umbrellas on the deck.

He propped himself up with his arms and stretched his head to look, and saw that the man had brought the card table with him.

The corners of Yan Xianjue's mouth twitched, and then he heard Lei Xuan's complaints: "They are all working on their computers, and you and Shen Fangli are just basking in the sun here. This is too boring!" "We are a travel variety show!"

"Finally, I hear some human talk!!! These people should at least respect the audience of the travel variety show!"

"Is playing cards so much better than working? They're almost the same."

Yan Xianjue casually said something similar to what happened in the live broadcast room: "It's all the same, just for fun."

Lei Xuan touched his chin and thought for a while: "No, it's still different. At least don't exclude me alone."

Yan Xianjue gave a thumbs up, indicating that his words were indeed impeccable.

He slowly sat up from the recliner, his whole body revealing the carefreeness of someone who hadn't woken up yet: "Let me make it clear first, I don't want to play."

Shen Fangli asked, "What are you playing?"

What she knows is also very limited.

Ji Xi took the juice tray from the cruise ship waiter and placed it next to the card table.

Lei Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Fight the Landlord? No, we have one, two, three, four, five, or six people."

"I already told you I don't want to play."

Yao Weiwan silently raised his hand: "I don't know how to play cards, how about I help you keep the accounts?"

Lei Xuan sighed: "Okay, that's four of us, let's play mahjong."

Ji Xi raised a constructive question: "Can live streaming of mahjong games pass review?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several people looked at Yan Xianjue.

"Hi, what's this? Is this the boss asking for protection?"

"When they get together, they often do some outrageous things. By the way, has Lei Xuan given up on asking them to pay the rent?"

"Of course, right? The crew can sleep in tents at a beach villa, so are they supposed to sleep in the ocean on a cruise ship?"

"Perhaps Lei Xuan has finally realized that money can't limit these people at all."

Yan Xianjue nodded nonchalantly: "It's not a game for money anyway, so whoever loses washes the dishes, how about that?"

Shen Fangli: "I have a problem, I don't know how to play mahjong."

Yan Xianjue patted her head and said, "It's okay. I can do it. I'm with you."

"One of us knows how to do it and the other doesn't, so on average I know half of them."

Lei Xuan looked at him with suspicion: "Even though I'm a liberal arts student, I know that average doesn't seem to be used this way."

Yan Xianjue waved his hand: "Don't worry about these details."

He directly picked a seat opposite Lei Xuan for Shen Fangli to sit down, then pulled over a chair and sat behind her.

Seeing that several people were still standing there motionless, Yan Xianjue raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you going to play cards? Don't you want to play again?"

Jiang Miaomiao and Ji Xi sat down on either side.

Ji Xi warned, "I've only played it a few times on mobile games."

Jiang Miaomiao laughed: "Then you have to be careful, I often help to make up the game at the card table."

But after just one round, Jiang Miaomiao and Ji Xi fell silent.

Lei Xuan...when did he offend Yan Xianjue?

Lei Xuan sat opposite Shen Fangli and Yan Xianjue, his face flushed red, perhaps from anger or sunburn.

Shen Fangli, who was sitting opposite him, also had a blush on her face.

But between them, one seemed to be angry, while the other was definitely embarrassed.

Yan Xianjue usually rested one hand lazily on the armrest of his chair.

But when he wanted to help her play a card, he would lean forward slightly, put his arm around her shoulders, and lightly tap his finger on a card.

Then Shen Fangli understood that this was the card she should play.

Every time this happened, he would hover over Shen Fangli, and the heat from his body would sweep over her.

If he occasionally opened his mouth to help Shen Fangli explain a few words, why he played this card, it would be even worse, and his breath inadvertently hit the back of her neck while speaking.

Shen Fangli calmly touched the juice cup beside her, trying to save her dry throat.

Yan Xianjue's card skills were unexpectedly good, and Lei Xuan was undoubtedly the biggest loser today. He was given the right to wash dishes for the next week.

Jiang Miaomiao and Ji Xi reached out and high-fived each other, thanking each other for not holding them back.

But in contrast, Yan Xianjue had very poor teaching skills and Lei Xuan was incredulous and stunned.

"Yan Xianjue, you're more than just a good player, right?"

Yan Xianjue, holding a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice in one hand, slid back into his chair and winked slyly, "I didn't say how far I would go."

He consoled her insincerely, "Losing to me is no big deal. After all, I've been watching my grandfather play cards every day since I was less than a year old."

Lei Xuan: “…”

Lei Xuan stood up angrily and urged: "Hurry up and finish your juice, I have to go wash the cups!"

"puff."

Several of them drank the drinks in their cups with smiles on their faces, but for some reason their actions were similar to those of the office workers who sat in food stalls drinking ice beer.

Shen Fangli returned to her usual smiling self at this time and raised her glass with everyone.

*

Yan Xianjue looked at Lei Xuan's angry back and followed him.

Lei Xuan's movements in washing the cups were unexpectedly skillful. He didn't look like a pampered young master at all. It seemed that he might have the habit of having a drink on a daily basis.

Without even turning his head, he casually asked, "Isn't it me who's washing? What are you doing here?"

Yan Xianjue leaned against the door frame and said, "I came to tell you that the live broadcast will be suspended on Wednesday."

Lei Xuan: "I understand."

He agreed so readily that Yan Xianjue was surprised: "You didn't even ask why?"

This doesn't fit Lei Xuan's noisy personality at all.

Lei Xuan turned around, a little speechless: "Then what should I do?"

He exclaimed in a pretentious manner: "You have to give me a reason!"

Then the next sentence returns to normal: "Like this?"

"That's not necessary." Yan Xianjue said dryly.

Lei Xuan put the washed cup back into the sink: "That's it."

There weren't many of them, and the workload wasn't heavy. He rinsed it again with clean water and said, "I'm more than six years older than you. Your attitude is like a dog circling his territory. I'm not blind."

After wiping his hands, he asked casually, "Speaking of which, do you need me to do anything?"

"No need." Yan Xianjue's answer was concise and to the point.

Lei Xuan said exaggeratedly: "Then I am really starting to get curious."
