31 King's Game
◎Six is here with me, what a coincidence.◎
After the tomb-sweeping ceremony, the relationship between Liang Jingyi and Liang Youwei subtly changed, but no one could explain why.
There is only one change that can be seen.
When no one was around, Liang Youwei would affectionately call her "Jingyi".
It’s not “sister” or “sister”, but “Jingyi”.
"Kyogi!"
A warm and fragrant embrace came from behind. The man behind her stood on tiptoe and rested his pointed chin in the crook of her neck. "Brother Shao Yue has his birthday tomorrow. He's throwing a big party privately for the night after tomorrow. Do you want to go?"
"Shao Yue?" Subconsciously, Liang Jingyi grabbed Liang Youwei's arm. "Where did you do it? Was it messy? Was it vegetarian?"
"The night is clear. Yao Yaoyao's territory cannot be disturbed."
Liang Jingyi knew Yao Yaoyao, the only daughter of Liang Jiangsheng's biological sister. She was slightly younger than Liang Youwei, but far more capable and shrewd. Liang Jiangsheng also favored this niece. Her territory was secure, so he felt relieved and casually replied, "I'm not going. Go ahead and play if you want."
To be honest, Liang Jingyi didn't like Shao Yue very much.
She loved to pretend, so she could naturally spot others of her own kind. Shao Yue seemed like a playboy, but in the few times they had met, Liang Jingyi felt that he was a particularly good pretender, two-faced, and a scoundrel on the same side as Qin Zhen.
There's clearly no trace of lust or alcohol in his eyes, yet he acts like he's open to everyone. What's he trying to do by pretending like this? He's a psycho.
This kind of person is annoying to see, so she doesn't bother to pay attention to him.
It is enough to have your own cargo in the world.
As for Liang Youwei, she usually enjoys such lively occasions, so there's no need to stop her. It just so happens that she recently bought a Cartier jade necklace, so it would be nice for Youwei to wear it and show it off.
Liang Jingyi didn't know much about jewelry. Although Yixing owned the luxury brand Zhiliang, she was in charge of the financial investment sector, so it wasn't related at all. The antique was very expensive, and the design was visibly exquisite and beautiful. Liang Youwei would probably like it.
"Then should I go alone?" Liang Youwei tilted her head and asked in confusion.
"That's not the case," Liang Jingyi chuckled and moved closer, touching her nose. "Wear the gift I gave you, okay?"
The person on the other side's eyes lit up, and his voice became even lighter: "What is it?"
Is Third Sister going to give herself a gift?
Liang Jingyi patted her hands and motioned her to get up.
She walked to the safe in the office, entered the password in front of Liang Youwei, and took out a seemingly ordinary black velvet box.
Then, he handed it to her with a smile: "Don't you want to take a look?"
Liang Youwei pursed her lips, blinked, and slowly opened the flat black cardboard with a little anticipation.
The warm and soft light slowly came into view. The round and delicate gemstones were full of water light, and the gemstones were large and clear. With the bright diamonds densely inlaid on the edge, Liang Youwei's heart beat faster.
"Emerald Moutai White!"
Her pupils dilated slightly, and she looked at Liang Jingyi in surprise: "Jingyi, how did you manage to snatch something of this quality?!"
"Is this hard to grab?" Liang Jingyi was also a little surprised.
"Of course!" Liang Youwei nodded heavily, her eyebrows dancing with joy. "It's rare to find such a transparent and bright Moutai Bai on the market nowadays. What's more, this one is so big, and every bead is almost identical! It's very collectible! And the diamonds embedded on this side..."
Listening to her talking, Liang Jingyi raised his lips in a good mood.
Liang Youwei is still more beautiful like this, and can barely compete with the crying Bao Wei.
"So amazing?" After she finished, Liang Jingyi smiled and praised: "You know a lot. Who told me that Liang Youwei was an ignorant fool? When it comes to jewelry, you are obviously an expert."
"Really?" Liang Youwei's eyes brightened as she was praised for her abilities. She leaned closer and said, "Liang Jingyi, do you really think I'm amazing? You're not lying to me?"
Liang Jingyi chuckled, staring into her eyes with absolute certainty: "Of course. I have no reason to lie to you. I can't say anything about other things, but when it comes to jewelry, you are really good. Can you teach me more in the future?"
"Liang Jingyi, you are so nice!" Liang Youwei didn't even look at the jewelry. She hugged the person opposite her by the neck and jumped up and down, "I love you the most!"
Oops! Your glass egg is about to fall!
Liang Jingyi had no choice but to hold the two treasures steady, and hugged the most important one tighter, burying half of his face in her soft long hair, rubbing it unconsciously.
Me too, Liang Youwei.
In order to better match this "glass egg", Liang Youwei has been looking for a suitable little skirt these two days.
Until nine o'clock in the evening on the third day.
"Youwei is finally here. It's been a long time since I last saw you. I missed you so much!"
When the former little sister saw the person coming, a look of surprise flashed across her eyes, and then she smiled and invited her to come and sit down.
Liang Youwei paused for a moment, her mind flashing back to their past deliberate alienation.
Strictly speaking, she didn't think there was anything wrong with their past estrangement. After all, every family has its own problems, and being close to a fake like her was probably not good for them.
What's more, most of the kindness they showed in the past was genuine. When Liang Youwei thought of this, she only felt a little resentment towards them.
So, she smiled again and walked towards them: "I've been busy since I started working recently. I miss you guys so much."
"Finally, it's your turn to experience the hardship of work. How is it? Are you tired every day?"
"How do you get along with that sister? Does she secretly give you trouble?"
"Weiwei, is this your new necklace? It's so beautiful! It goes really well with your dress and makeup today."
The girls chatted at once, their fragrance filling the air, giving Liang Youwei a headache. She organized the discipline like a squad leader, "Please ask one question at a time, so I can answer them one by one."
"My job is pretty easy now. I just look at designs and sign them every day. It's not too tiring. I get along well with my third sister, too. She really likes me! Look, this necklace she gave me specially. Isn't it beautiful?"
"Youwei, is your third sister called Liang Jingyi?" The girl's tone was a little uncertain when she mentioned the unfamiliar name.
"Yes, it's the Jing in Mo Zhi Yu Jing and the Yi in You Feng Lai Yi. Doesn't it sound nice?" Liang Youwei looked honored and pleased.
"It does sound nice." The girl also laughed, "But she seems very cold. I rarely see her smile when I see her on weekdays. Sometimes I invite her for afternoon tea, but she always declines."
It's also strange that Weiwei actually knows the idiom "莫之与京".
After hearing her words, Liang Youwei was a little distressed, but soon became happy: "Well, Third Sister really doesn't like socializing, but she is a very nice person, you don't have to be afraid of her. If I'm free, I'll host you and we can have a meal together~"
After all, they had been friends for more than ten years, so it was not difficult for them to pick up the topic again. The atmosphere soon became lively again. When the protagonist walked into the big box, a group of people surrounded him and gave him gifts one by one.
Liang Youwei doesn't like to squeeze into the crowd to attract attention. She likes to be unique and hates competing with someone or something. In her opinion, that is a very shameful and humiliating thing.
So, when Shao Yue walked straight towards her, she stood up slowly, smiled reservedly, and handed over the gift.
"Brother Shao Yue, happy birthday."
"Youwei is here too?" Shao Yue took it with a curved lip and thanked him gently.
"Well, why isn't Lingyu here today? Didn't you invite her?"
Shao Yue was dressed beautifully today, and Liang Youwei suddenly felt a little hesitant to look at him. Avoiding his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and charming features, she found an excuse to divert her attention.
The man said casually: "I asked her to come, but she refused."
When I invited her, I just said "Liang Youwei is not coming", but Zhao Lingyu immediately lost interest and lazily said that there was a schedule conflict and she had to go to a concert.
"Did you tell me I would come?" Liang Youwei couldn't help but ask.
"I did." Shao Yue chuckled, telling lies without thinking, "But she still refused. There's nothing I can do."
There were many ways to play Ye Se Qing, but due to Yao Yaoyao's strict management, there were basically no aphrodisiacs or anything like that. However, if you drank too much, some games would inevitably go too far.
"Youwei, come and play too? You've hardly participated in our little games, have you? Why not give it a try while no one's at home?"
Liang Youwei, who had drunk two glasses of sake, was starting to feel dizzy. She heard laughter and coaxing voices around her.
Another male voice rang out in my ears: "That's right, do you want to be controlled by Qin Zhen forever? You weren't like this before, fearless and utterly timid. Why are you so timid now?"
"Yao Yu, stop talking nonsense. I think Weiwei is almost drunk and unconscious. Please don't let anything happen to her." Following the sound of slapping someone, a girl stopped them dissatisfiedly.
Liang Youwei didn't want to listen to their quarrel, so she held the girl next to her and said, "It's okay. I haven't played it before, so it's okay to try it today!"
She pushed her hair behind her ears, tried to open her eyes wide and looked over slowly: "How do we play?"
Yao Yu looked into her blurry eyes, his heart as if scratched by a fox's claws. He murmured, "King's Game, have you heard of it?"
The rules of the game are simple.
Each person draws a number card and an identity card. The person who draws the "King Card" can designate two people present to do anything, but cannot mention names, only numbers.
After playing three rounds, some people took off their clothes until the last piece, and some went downstairs to sing a song. Liang Youwei thought that the activities were not too explicit, so she continued to play with more confidence.
When I drank the third glass of cherry wine, the king of this round came out.
It’s Yao Yu.
He had already unbuttoned his shirt to the third button, his chest generously exposed, revealing his plump and beautiful chest muscles. With a slightly feminine and delicate phoenix eye, Yao Yu revealed her cards, half-smiled: "What's the saying? Fortunes change."
Si Yanle, who was sitting opposite him, looked up, leaned back on the pure black leather sofa, and made the number "seven" with his fingers in the dim, wine-colored light.
After confirming that the other party had received the signal, Si Yanle glanced at his cards again, and his gesture changed, showing a "three".
Yao Yu's smile deepened, and he calmly touched his second card, gently rubbing his fingertips on the unknown card surface.
There was a familiar bump—it was “six.”
"The last few times were too bland, barely more than appetizers. How about we try something interesting this time?"
He smiled and said, "Six and seven are inseparable, so let six and seven eat a pocky stick together, and the longest distance left can't exceed five millimeters. How about that?"
"If you can't do that, five shots of Scotch each."
Si Yanle's expression changed and his eyes turned cold in an instant.
Yao Yu seemed unaware of it, but instead looked back with a smile, and mouthed: I regret it.
What's the point of kissing someone secretly?
Kissing in public is in line with his style.
Don’t you think so? Si Yanle.
"Well done, Yao Yu, you really know how to play!" The sons of the rich and powerful, who always enjoy watching the fun, immediately chimed in, "Who got six and seven? Show your cards!"
"Who's six or seven?" The girls also became excited. This kind of exciting scene among people of the same class is not common. "Weiwei, what's your number? I'm ten!"
Liang Youwei's mind was hazy, and she casually flipped over her cards: "I don't know, let me see..."
With a series of screams, the dazed Liang Youwei was pushed out.
"Which one is six? Who is so lucky?"
"I also want to eat pocky with Weiwei."
"You're a girl, what's so delicious about it? Hahaha!"
Just as Yao Yu was about to turn over the cards to greet everyone's envious gazes, someone next to him suddenly patted his shoulder: "You dropped your cards."
Yao Yu was in a good mood and didn't care about this little episode. He picked it up casually and threw the card on the table without even looking at it, with a hint of pride in his eyes.
Unconvinced, he went to confirm the number. Si Yanle's eyes instantly changed from jealousy to ridicule. He laughed heartily, full of malicious sarcasm: "Yao Yu, you're still playing cards? This nine - what's the explanation?"
What nine?
Yao Yu frowned, lowered his eyes, and his pupils dilated instantly.
Where's his six?
"Six is here with me." Shao Yue, who had been silent the entire time, spoke calmly, his first words since entering the game, "What a coincidence."
【Author’s words】
Warning: Youwei is a fickle little butterfly (not the little butterfly with 16 personalities, just a metaphor)
I also want to share something with you, my little angels: My draft box is already filled to the brim with work for late June. Unfortunately, I'm running out of ideas for connecting plot points, and I'm constantly revising 40-50 chapters, figuring out some clever ideas to tie the context together. Plus, I'm stuck for two weeks of finals review (I'm afraid of failing, and since I'm not particularly gifted at closed-book exams, I don't dare pull off miracles in just two or three days)... It's hard to add more for now. (Ah, the more I count, the more frustrated I get.)
After all, I set a goal for myself at the beginning - to post 3,000 articles a day and update continuously. I am a little worried that releasing the manuscript in advance will lead to fatigue or even interruption in the later stage (and it is really troublesome to change the publication date one by one orz)
So, I promise, by the end of finals week, I'll have written 10,000 chapters that very day. If inspiration flows smoothly, I'll add 10,000 chapters based on the nutrient solution of the little angels; if inspiration doesn't flow smoothly, I'll post a 10,000-word extra chapter, anyway, I'll have to have 10,000. I definitely can't let everyone invest so much in vain, I'll work hard! After all, it feels like a lot right now, probably close to 20,000 chapters already? ... (covering her face with tears)
Finally, the story's development and ending are predetermined. While there may be sporadic additions to flesh out the plot, external factors will not alter the story. We strive to ensure you experience the complete story of "Fake Daughter Forced to Become a Charmer After Her Identity Was Revealed." Therefore, from the reader's perspective, the ending may be regrettable, satisfying, or unexpected, but it will remain true to its original form.
However, everyone must have their favorite characters. I will write extra stories about them based on the number of people who like them, so as not to disappoint everyone.
Finally, I hope everyone enjoys reading this article, and may those who have exams go well, those who have jobs go well, and may you live a happy and wonderful life~ [hahaha]
