Chapter 10: Humans’ joys and sorrows are not shared
At this moment, Cheng entered the men's restroom one by one, and only Li Xinyue and Shen Qingning were by the sink.
Chen Qingning clearly didn't look at her, she just raised her eyes to look in the mirror, but Li Xinyue felt uncomfortable all over, as if the place that the mirror could reflect did not belong to her.
She had originally planned to continue waiting for Cheng Zhu to come out, but in the end, for some reason, she returned to her seat in a huff.
It's really the aura that suppresses me.
She picked up her phone, but Cheng Zhu was no longer a friend, so she sent a text message: "What do I mean to you now?"
Cheng Zhumiao, who had just finished using the toilet, replied: "You're not here."
It took her a while to understand this reply, and she instantly became furious again.
"What's the matter, Yueyue?" Chen Rongrong immediately started gossiping: "Did Cheng Zhu make you angry again?"
"Don't mention him, I'm so mad! I will definitely not reconcile with him, and it's impossible for him to beg me for help in the future!" said Li Xinyue.
Li Rui was listening at the side, and his heart immediately felt relieved. This was the result he expected!
It seemed that without Cheng Zhu, he, who held the number plate of love, would have a chance.
Chen Rongrong comforted him, "Okay, okay, didn't you say it yourself? After being with him, you don't seem to like him that much anymore."
"These are two different things!" said Li Xinyue.
Yes, there are a lot of girls in the world who are very crazy when they like someone and even take the initiative to pursue him. But once the ambiguous period is over and they are together, her enthusiasm fades instantly.
I liked him even when we weren't together.
Why do I suddenly not have that much feeling for him after we were together?
These girls might even say something very literary: "I like the moon, but if the moon runs towards me, I won't like the moon anymore."
Cheng Zhu had seen many girls like this before, and he just thought: "Even Chang'e has to fly to the moon by herself, who do you think you are?"
At this moment, Cheng Zhu returned to his seat after going to the toilet, and found that Li Rui was looking at him again.
He immediately stared back and mouthed: "What are you looking at?"
With his handsome face that was often mistaken for a school bully, and his unruly temperament, Li Rui immediately lowered his head and pretended to drink a cocktail.
Jiang Wanzhou looked at Cheng Zhu and said, "How is it? Your ex-girlfriend came to your house. Are you soft-hearted?"
"No, and she probably won't come to see me again in the future." Cheng Zhu said.
"What did you say to her?" Jiang Wanzhou started gossiping.
"I told her that you and I are a couple now." Cheng Zhu disliked his gossip and was afraid that he would not be able to stop, so he said unhappily.
"Get out of here~" President Jiang Ba could no longer bear it.
But he always felt that Cheng Zhu seemed a little different now than before.
Can love really make a man grow?
…
…
On the other side, Shen Minglang drove his Porsche Panamera to send his sister Shen Qingning home.
Along the way, Shen Qingning had been chatting on WeChat, and the messages on her phone never stopped.
"Who is it?" Shen Minglang frowned, fearing that the person opposite him was a man.
"Lin Lu." Shen Qingning replied.
"Oh, her." Shen Minglang knew that this was his sister's best friend.
Lin Lu's family conditions are also good, and she is very cute and lively.
The most important thing is that her voice is very versatile. I heard that when she graduated from high school, she worked part-time as a dubbing artist and earned some pocket money.
This kind of girl is really a voice-controlled blessing.
The first time he met her, he expressed his interest in Lin Lu in front of Shen Qingning.
Shen Qingning said directly: "I told her a long time ago that you are a scumbag."
Shen Minglang: “….”
At this moment, Shen Qingning was sitting in the co-pilot seat, chatting with her bestie about whether the toner and cream of the brand Sisley were good or not.
Lin Lu wanted to change her skin care products, so she came to ask her.
Later in the conversation, Lin Lu asked, "Are you still in the bar, or have you gone back?"
"On my way home."
"Video of arriving home? Let me show you my new pajamas."
"No, I want to take off my makeup and take a shower first." Shen Qingning refused.
"You go to bed so early? I feel like everyone in the world is watching the World Cup today. My dad is almost fifty years old, and he said he wants to get up at three o'clock to watch the final. I'm struggling over whether I should accompany him." Lin Lu said.
"You just like to join in the fun." Shen Qingning knew that Lin Lu didn't watch football at all on weekdays.
"Not really. He told me that he bought a ball game and if he wins, he will buy me a bag tomorrow. This made me feel a little involved." Lin Lu continued to send WeChat messages: "I am still struggling over whether to buy something or not."
"Have you ever bought one? Didn't you say that your brother's bar business was booming during the World Cup and he was buying balls every day?" Lin Lu sent messages quickly.
"I bought the Germany-Argentina 0:0 for 2,000. He insisted on buying it for me." Shen Qingning replied honestly.
"My dad also said that he felt the game would be a draw during regular time! But he bet on 1:1. Then I will ask my dad to buy it for me as an extra expense for me to accompany him to watch the game. If we lose, it's his, and if we win, it's mine, hehe."
Lin Lu also posted an emoticon with her hands on her hips, with the caption: I am such a clever little ghost.
"It's up to you." Shen Qingning had no desire to chat about football, so she said perfunctorily.
Soon she received a voice message. After she opened it, the voice was particularly soft and cute: "Sister, you are so impatient with me."
Lin Lu, a woman who used to work as a voice actor, had her voice echoing in the car.
Shen Qingning is so annoying, and Shen Minglang loves her so much.
…
…
After sending his sister Shen Qingning home, Shen Minglang drove back to the bar.
After he sat down next to Jiang Wanzhou and Cheng Zhu, he started smoking.
Shen Qingning hates the smell of cigarettes, but Shen Minglang is actually a heavy smoker.
"Cousin, do you want a smoke?" he said to Cheng Zhu.
Cheng Zhu took one, picked up the bar's lighter and lit it skillfully.
Jiang Wanzhou looked at Cheng Zhu, who was smoking, with a little surprise, but didn't say anything in the end.
It was still early for the World Cup final, so everyone sat in the bar and played dice.
On their side, this way of playing dice is called: bragging.
Jiang Wanzhou couldn't drink much, so he stopped playing after losing a few rounds. In the end, it was a one-on-one duel between Cheng Zhu and Shen Minglang.
"I shouted three twos and you kicked me?" Shen Minglang, who lost again, was speechless. What was even more infuriating was that Cheng Zhu had a 2 in his dice.
"I just feel that you don't have it, you must be lying." Cheng Zhu shrugged and said, holding the sieve.
"Damn it, I really don't believe it. I can't beat you, a high school graduate!" Shen Minglang was so angry.
The end result was that he always lost more than he won.
Even Li Rui could hear Shen Minglang cursing.
Every time Cheng Zhu rolled the dice, his face always had the youthful vigor and vitality of a young man, as well as the confidence of a calm and mature person of his age, as if he had an expression that said, "I have you beat."
Chen Rongrong couldn't help but whispered, "How come the bar shareholders can't beat him?"
Li Rui actually wanted to learn the energy from Cheng Zhu, but he said sarcastically: "Xinyue, you see, he must have played outside a lot."
Li Xinyue didn't say anything.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the 14th World Cup finals finally began.
He Wei's commentary began to echo in the room, and you have to say, it was pretty damn brilliant!
Needless to say, his commentary level is very high, his empathy is amazing, and his vocabulary is also very rich.
The spectators in the bar were all drunk, so they were all in very high spirits.
Every time a shot was fired, there would be a commotion in the bar.
After Higuain kicked the ball in, someone stood up and shouted: "Offside! This ball is offside!"
"He was so excited that he ran all over the field celebrating. This goal doesn't count, it's definitely offside!"
Shen Minglang patted Cheng Zhu on the shoulder and said, "Cousin, if this ball is not offside, then it means Argentina scored, and your 0:0 is gone."
He really wanted to teach Cheng Zhu a lesson. My little cousin, it’s fine if you bet on the score, but you only bet on one point, and it’s 0:0. The risk is too high.
Jiang Wanzhou didn't know much about football and it was his first time watching it, but he was extremely excited and kept asking what offside was.
On the other hand, Cheng Zhu looked calm and said, "I didn't calculate it."
As a result, the two teams kept playing back and forth, and each side had several chances to score, but unfortunately all of them missed.
At the end of regular time, the score was still 0:0!
Jiang Wanzhou's eyes widened.
“What the hell!” Boss Shen was even more shocked. How could he even bet on 0:0?
He is still very nervous now, after all, he bet on Germany to win the championship.
Li Rui became more and more nervous the more he looked at it, and he was almost losing his temper.
After all, he bet 12,000 on Argentina to win the championship, but now judging from the battle situation, everything is unknown.
"Goal, Argentina!"
Finally, when the time reached 113 minutes, the German team scored first!
The atmosphere in the bar reached a climax in an instant, with some people cheering and some people cursing.
Li Rui was a little dazed for a moment, and said with a forced smile: "It's okay, it's okay, the game is not over yet."
Shen Minglang shouted loudly: "Yes!"
Now it seems that he is likely to win money tonight, and the German team is going to win, so he is naturally in a good mood.
But he thought again, Cheng Zhu is still awesome! 7.5 times the odds, 0:0, this is a perfect bet!
Time passed and the 2014 World Cup final came to an end. Neither side continued to score goals in the following time. Only Germany scored one goal in overtime and the score was fixed at 1:0!
Boom! The bar exploded instantly!
Although in the last few minutes, everyone had already expected that the result would be like this.
But people are like this. They never give up until the last moment and always feel that there are miracles in the world.
If nothing unexpected happens, the rooftop will be crowded again tonight, and many gamblers will line up to jump off the building.
On this side, Jiang Wanzhou was shaking with joy.
On the other side, Li Rui's heart was bleeding.
Counting the 500 yuan each from Li Xinyue and Chen Rongrong, he lost 13,000 yuan tonight! This is not a small amount!
Only Cheng Zhu thought pretentiously: People’s joys and sorrows are not in common, I just think they are noisy.
At this moment, a customer who was familiar with Shen Minglang shouted, "Brother Lang is awesome. He bought the German champion for 50,000. Shouldn't you give us a discount for our consumption in the bar?"
Shen Minglang stood up and cursed with a smile: "Get lost! Did my money come from the wind? You must have earned it with your own ability!"
"My cousin is still the awesome one!" He suddenly patted Cheng Zhu, causing Cheng Zhu, who was eating the fruit plate, to almost choke.
Boss Shen looked at this familiar customer and said loudly with envy, "He bet 12,000 on 0:0! The odds are 7.5 times, damn, it's cool!"
