"It's pointless if it doesn't make money," Qin Yufan said, frowning.
Tong Kai slapped him hard on the back, then nodded at Pei Xi and Shen Miaoyi with his chin, "What money do you make playing with girls?"
This person's mind is as straight as a pencil; he has to be pointed out to be right.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yufan blankly uttered an "Oh," then scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "I didn't think it through, I didn't think it through."
"When have you ever thought things through?" Tong Kai clicked his tongue and gave the big, clumsy guy a disdainful look.
The six people quickly divided into groups: Qin Yufan, Tong Kai, Pei Zhi, and Shen Miaoyi, each in two pairs.
Shi Chen and Pei Xi watched the battle from the sidelines.
Shen Miaoyi's skills were still raw, and Pei Xi helped her play her cards. Both of them were of average skill, but fortunately, Pei Zhi was exceptionally capable and carried her to victory in two rounds.
Qin Yufan cheered loudly.
Seeing that Shen Miaoyi was getting more and more into it, Pei Xi got up and went to the dining table to eat some delicious food.
Pei Xi was eating small bites of fried chicken, not knowing whether Shi Chen ordered it or someone else brought it. There was a whole bunch of random takeout orders.
After eating two pieces, Shi Chen came over and went to the refrigerator to get a drink.
After he finished taking his drink, he was about to turn around and go back when Pei Xi suddenly called out to him, "Brother Shi Chen."
Shi Chen paused, "What's wrong?"
“My mother cut off his allowance,” Pei Xi suddenly said.
Shi Chen raised an eyebrow, not out of surprise, but with an expression of "I knew it."
Pei Xi thought that, given Pei Zhi's pride, he probably would never explain himself.
But she didn't want Shi Chen to misunderstand that Pei Zhi was deliberately playing a prank on him.
She knew that Pei Zhi worked very hard to earn money.
So she said half-jokingly, "Actually, those socks are really precious. Pei Zhi earned them by working part-time."
Shi Chen was taken aback.
He truly hadn't expected that Pei Zhi, this young master, would condescend to work just to buy him a gift.
An unexpected expression appeared on his face, a rare occurrence.
Then he jokingly added, "Looks like I'll really have to frame it later."
Pei Xi smiled gently, "My brother is proud and stubborn, but I know he has done his best."
Shi Chen smiled, his peach blossom eyes sparkling, and said leisurely, "Well, your brother Shi Chen isn't that materialistic."
Pei Xi chuckled.
Shi Chen straightened up slightly, "Actually, I guessed from the beginning that he was broke. Although I wouldn't dare say I understand him as well as you do, the years we've spent together have been enough. After all, he's a very easy person to understand."
Everything is laid out in the open; nothing is hidden.
Ah, no, it's that you can't hide it even if you want to.
“Completely different from that person.” Shi Chen blinked and added.
Pei Xi was taken aback. "Who?"
Shi Chen remained silent, only looking at her with a somewhat enigmatic expression.
Pei Xi realized what was happening and felt a heat in her ear.
She then realized that Shi Chen was referring to Jiang Cheng.
Indeed, no matter who you look at it from, Pei Zhi and Jiang Cheng are two extremes.
One is hot-tempered, the other is cold-tempered; one is always surrounded by friends, the other is always alone.
One wears their heart on their sleeve, the other is deep-thinking and cold-faced enough to be an undercover agent.
At first, even she thought they were complete opposites.
But now, Pei Xi no longer thinks so.
Pei Zhi and Jiang Cheng are actually quite similar in some ways.
They are all kind-hearted, hardworking, and ambitious; once they set their minds on something, they won't give up easily.
They are all fine.
