Chapter 20 is brilliant, a truly spectacular competition!
Fang Ke was taken aback. Zhao Qi had returned from washing his hands sometime earlier and was now bending down to stand close to her.
When she looked up, her cheek almost brushed against the tip of his nose.
Fang Ke: "..."
Zhao Qi gave her a clean smile. He smelled of moisture and tobacco, but surprisingly, he looked quite refreshing.
Fang Ke had a gut feeling that this was a dangerous person. She was somewhat interested, but she had taken money from another old man today.
The old man's eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets, and his eyes were even a little red.
It seemed like if she said another word to Zhao Qi, he would go crazy.
Fang Ke then stood up and returned the seat to Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi smiled and asked, "Senior, you're not going to fight anymore?"
Yan Nuo said coldly, "If you're going to fight, fight for me. Come here."
Fang Ke gave Zhao Qi a helpless gesture and was about to leave when Zhao Qi suddenly grabbed her wrist and stuffed a stack of chips into Fang Ke's hand.
"This was won by the senior student, so it's for her."
Fang Ke raised an eyebrow. So perceptive!
This kid looks pretty good... Aside from his unpredictable personality, he fits her aesthetic perfectly.
This group of people didn't play small cards, so Fang Ke held nearly 10,000 chips in his hand.
She didn't feign refusal and happily said, "Thank you, junior! May you win lots of money!"
Ten thousand dollars is nothing to each of the people present; it's only a little over a thousand euros or dollars.
Fang Ke happily stuffed the bag into his coat, but Yan Nuo pulled him over and pressed him into his seat.
Fang Ke was speechless at his childish behavior, sighed again, and discussed it with someone.
"Actually, I'm not very good at playing cards. I just got lucky. Why don't you play by yourself?"
Yan Nuo stared coldly at her: "What do you mean? You're helping him fight, but not me?"
Fang Ke asked, "...Who's responsible if we lose?"
"mine."
Fang Ke nodded. "And if you win?"
“Of course it’s mine too.” Yan Nuo said matter-of-factly.
Fang Ke: ...
If I were Su Yao, I'd choose Zhao Qi! You big idiot!
Zhao Qi laughed and said, "Haven't seen you in years, and you've become so stingy? With your stinginess, how can you even have a girlfriend? Senior, why don't you consider me? I'm very generous to my girlfriend."
Yan Nuo leaned against Fang Ke with his arms crossed, and gave him only three words in a sinister tone, "Don't be a coward."
...
A private estate in the south of the city was brightly lit and filled with the sounds of people.
The ground was covered with flower petals and ribbons, and the air smelled of champagne; a grand celebration dinner had just taken place here.
Today's banquet's protagonist, Su Yao, is wearing a sundress, sitting by the pool, smiling broadly, her face flushed, playfully teasing several men who are teasing her.
Yes didn't participate; he leaned back in his recliner, leisurely scrolling through his phone.
bite!
Someone suddenly updated their WeChat Moments.
Yes usually scrolls past the post as usual, but the photo that person posted was very eye-catching.
Ye Sijin paused behind his glasses, then hesitantly clicked on the photo.
The person who posted the photo on WeChat Moments was probably a junior from his university in the United States. The people in the photo were Yan Nuo, Zhao Qi, and... Fang Ke?
Having just had dinner with Fang Ke, Ye Si wouldn't forget her face instantly.
Unlike her casual, mismatched outfit from the afternoon, she now wore a designer suit and evening gown, her long hair pulled back with a pearl hair clip, a complete return to her comfort zone.
Ye Si squinted his long eyes and glanced at what the person with the hair tie was saying.
[Wonderful...wonderful...so wonderful...]
This photo is indeed a very interesting snapshot. Yan Nuo is leaning over Fang Ke with one hand on the mahjong table, and Fang Ke is practically half-in his arms.
Across from them, Zhao Qi was staring provocatively at Yan Nuo. The two were as tense as lions fighting over territory and mates.
The juniors he had added on WeChat were excitedly discussing the scene below, saying it was even more chaotic and like a fire was about to break out.
Ye Si thought for a moment and replied.
Are you having a party?
The other party seemed surprised that Yes would reply to him, and excitedly typed a lot of words, talking about the class reunion that day, and finally invited Yes to come over.
“A-Ye”.
A sweet, cloying voice reached my ears.
Ye Si looked up and saw that Su Yao had brought the other three people to find him.
Su Yao felt a little wronged and asked, "What are you doing? Why aren't you playing with us?"
Yi Mohan and Xiao Yichen both gave Ye Si a cold look, seemingly very unhappy that he had upset Su Yao.
Fang Yefan sat down, took a sip of wine, and said, "That's just his stubborn nature. You'd be surprised if he actually argued with you, Yao Yao."
Su Yao chuckled and happily sat down next to Ye Si, "That's true! Ye Si is more like him this way."
Everyone else sat down, and someone immediately came up and replaced their wine glasses.
Fang Yefan poured a drink for everyone, then suggested, "Come on, there's only half an hour left until today is over. Finally, I wish our most adorable princess Yao Yao a happy birthday."
Su Yao was embarrassed but also very happy. After clinking glasses, she drank half of the wine.
It wasn't until Yi Mohan took it down for her that she said, "Don't drink anymore, you'll get drunk again."
Su Yao hugged his arm and said coquettishly, "I'm so happy! I've been so lucky since I met you guys... Every single day has become so much happier. Sometimes I really wonder if I'm dreaming! You're all so nice and so outstanding, how could you... how could you like me?"
Su Yao still had bubbles on the corners of her mouth, her face was rosy, and she was incredibly cute.
She seemed to have used up all her courage to say such outrageous things, and then she felt embarrassed afterward.
Xiao Yichen gently tidied her hair behind her ear and smiled tenderly, "Silly girl, no one will be unaware of your kindness."
Su Yao looked at him with emotion, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
Fang Yefan turned his head away and took a sip himself.
Su Yao may not have realized it herself, but although the five of them initially said they would protect her together, as time went by, Su Yao had already secretly ranked them in her heart.
Yi Mohan and Xiao Yichen's positions are beyond their reach.
"I really hope that we can always be together and always be this happy."
Su Yao made a prayer gesture with her hands and said those words very seriously.
Fang Yefan was stunned. For some reason, the sourness in his head disappeared instantly, leaving only emotion. He couldn't help but rub her head with his hand.
Su Yao looked at him with bright, sparkling eyes.
While the other three were completely focused on Su Yao, Ye Si's clear eyes remained calm and undisturbed.
The man took a sip of his drink and suddenly asked, "Where's Yan Nuo?"
Su Yao said "Eh" and then recalled, "Arno suddenly said he had something to do and left."
She said with some disappointment, "This is the first time in recent years that Arno hasn't been here for my birthday. Maybe something really urgent happened."
Yes raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"
He showed her the post he had just seen on his WeChat Moments; the other three people had also seen it.
Everyone: ...
Su Yao trembled slightly, her first reaction being, "What...does Sister Fang mean this...?"
