Upon hearing this, several people
In an instant, the air seemed to freeze, and everyone's gaze suddenly turned to Leng Yue.
Su Qingyao immediately leaned forward slightly, placed her hands on the table, and looked at Leng Yue with a scrutinizing gaze, as if she wanted to see right through Leng Yue.
He began to wonder: Leng Yue seems quite honest usually, could she really have feelings for Qing Zhou?
Mu Shaohua crossed her arms and leaned against Lu Qingzhou's shoulder, a half-smile playing on her lips. She wanted to see how Leng Yue would react.
Lu Qingzhou glanced at Lin Yinuo, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly involuntarily.
He was secretly annoyed. Lin Yinuo was stirring up trouble again, always bringing up things he shouldn't have.
He subconsciously touched his nose, his gaze sweeping over Leng Yue's slightly nervous expression. He felt a sudden dizziness; could this little girl Leng Yue be...? Hmm, that shouldn't be possible?
She's usually a very easygoing person. You could say she plays the pipa or the piano, but as for her being romantic, that's nonsense. Would she even know how to do that?
Leng Yue felt extremely uncomfortable as she saw the piercing gazes directed at her. In her mind, she cursed Lin Yinuo mercilessly.
That damn Lin Yinuo, she deliberately embarrassed me.
She took a few deep breaths, her chest heaving slightly with her emotions, trying to calm herself down.
Subsequently,
Leng Yue raised her head, a slight smile on her face. She appeared calm and collected, but was actually panicking: "Yeah, even if you give me a chance, it's useless, hehe..."
She laughed while looking at Lu Qingzhou provocatively.
I kept telling myself to stay calm, I must stay calm!
Seeing that Leng Yue could still joke like that, Su Qingyao's tense shoulders relaxed slightly, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems I was overthinking things. Yueyue is just being stubborn; she probably doesn't mean it that way.
The women were exchanging meaningful remarks, but Lu Qingzhou didn't intend to engage in the conversation.
He really didn't want to get involved in this complicated "women's war," so he readily picked up the wine glass on the table and gulped down three glasses in a row.
Drinking alcohol helps to clear your mind.
Seeing that Lu Qingzhou had finished drinking the wine he lost, Lin Yinuo immediately led the applause and said enthusiastically, "Okay, let's start the next round. By the way, don't hold back!"
Mu Shaohua and Lin Yinuo were substituted in, while Lu Qingzhou continued to play despite losing.
As time passed, the sunset faded and the sky gradually darkened. The colorful lights in the guesthouse courtyard flickered on, casting a warm glow that added a touch of coziness to the entire courtyard.
As the group took turns, the cardboard box filled with more and more empty bottles, and the smell of alcohol permeated the air, mingling with the laughter of the crowd.
Lu Qingzhou's own alcohol tolerance was quite good, but compared to Leng Yue, he couldn't help but admire her.
Despite drinking so much, Leng Yue's face only had a slight flush, her eyes remained clear, and she could still crack a joke from time to time.
Su Qingyao's pretty face and slender neck were flushed, and her eyes were somewhat glazed, clearly indicating that she had drunk quite a bit.
Previously, under Mu Shaohua's provocation, he even helped Lu Qingzhou drink a few cups.
This delighted Mu Shaohua, who was secretly pleased with herself; this was exactly the effect she wanted.
Among everyone, Mu Shaohua was in the best condition. She lost the fewest games, which was partly due to her good luck and partly due to some tricks.
Just like now,
Lin Yinuo and Mu Shaohua looked at the cards in their hands and exchanged a glance.
A slight smile crept onto their lips; they both knew in their hearts that the game was now in their grasp.
Su Qingyao looked at the cards in her hand, her face full of complaint, her voice tinged with coquettishness: "Why am I the landlord again? I don't want to be the landlord. This hand is too hard to play. You guys must be hiding some good cards."
Lu Qingzhou, watching the cards in Su Qingyao's hand, comforted her, "It's okay, it looks pretty good. You should be able to win, don't worry. You're such a good player, you'll definitely be fine."
Lu Qingzhou's attention was focused on the cards in Su Qingyao's hand, and he did not notice anything unusual.
Leng Yue, however, saw clearly what was happening under the table; she saw two hands secretly exchanging cards.
She was immediately filled with admiration, but also felt a little regretful: why hadn't she thought of this move before? But it also depends on who she was cooperating with; in several rounds, she was on the same side as Lu Qingzhou.
Lu Qingzhou simply wouldn't cooperate with her using such tactics, which resulted in her losing several rounds as a result.
Mu Shaohua and Lin Yinuo didn't care so much. In their words, as long as they weren't drinking themselves, cooperating for the time being was acceptable.
Unsurprisingly, Su Qingyao lost this round again.
Her cheeks were flushed from the alcohol and anger, her chest heaving. She slammed her cards on the table in a fit of rage and shouted, "I'm not playing anymore! I always lose, there must be something fishy going on. Are you all ganging up on me?"
Her voice trembled slightly, filled with grievance.
I thought to myself that I was playing seriously in every game, so why was I always losing? It must be these two guys who were cheating.
Mu Shaohua and Lin Yinuo, of course, could not admit it. They exchanged a glance and immediately put on a stern face to deny it.
Mu Shaohua sat up straight and said seriously, "Don't talk nonsense. We won all these cards by our own skill."
Lin Yinuo chimed in, shaking her head like a rattle: "That's right, that's right. Playing cards is all about skill and luck. You can't just accuse someone randomly."
That's right, we switched cards based on our own skill. Being able to switch cards without the opponent noticing is a testament to our ability, no doubt about it.
