Qin Ji, filled with grief and indignation, attempted to leave.
"No, you guys go first. I need to go to my tutoring class, I'll come back and we'll fight again!"
Fu Jinyi glanced at him: "What kind of tutoring?"
Qin Ji said, "Have you heard of Jinx, the youngest gambling god in Las Vegas history? A genius Chinese girl who wore a mask and won the World Texas Hold'em Championship at the age of fifteen."
"In that competition, she seemed like a novice in every aspect at the beginning, but she fought her way up from the beginner level to the intermediate and advanced levels, and finally to the finals. Her skills improved at a terrifying exponential rate."
"Every time she plays, there are analyses and explanations online. I want to learn how to go from a novice to a pro."
Just as Qin Ji was about to leave, Jiang Nian called him back.
The girl remained calm.
"Don't bother going to see it, I can fix it for you on the spot."
Qin Ji didn't even have time to react: "What?"
Jiang Nian spoke up: "That Jinx is me."
"..."
Where are my cigarettes?
Give me the cigarette.
"From now on, if I hear about any awesome people, I will never blindly worship them. I will first confirm whether they are my brother's wife."

Before we knew it, it was Chinese New Year.
On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Jiang Nian, Han Xu, Tang Qiuya, Lin Ruru, and Wang Qing went to sing karaoke.
They said they were going to sing, but in the end, the group of people had a blast.
The music became background noise as everyone started playing dice and drinking.
Jiang Nian knew she couldn't hold her liquor, so she didn't participate.
I went out halfway through to find a quiet place to get some fresh air.
The corridor was dimly lit.
Turning her head, Jiang Nian was met with a face she hadn't seen in a long time.
Wen Yu has lost some weight compared to before.
However, even in the dim light, that face was still outstandingly beautiful.
She tilted her head slightly, a few strands of messy hair falling across her forehead, her pale, jade-like face revealing a hint of loneliness.
Compared to his initial aloofness and unruliness, Wen Yu now seemed to have a more melancholic air about him.
“…Wen Yu?” Jiang Nian was somewhat surprised. “What are you doing here?”
This is Jiangcheng.
Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, shouldn't Wen Yu be in the capital?
Wen Yu took a deep breath and walked towards her.
There is no one else here, only them.
"I'm here to see you."
Wen Yu suddenly spoke.
"Looking for me?" Jiang Nian frowned slightly. "Is there something you need?"
If I remember correctly, after that book signing event, she and Wen Yu said that they would keep to themselves and not interfere with each other anymore.
There shouldn't be any further involvement.
In the deserted corridor, Wen Yu lowered his head and approached her.
Just as Jiang Nian frowned and tried to create some distance, he stopped.
"……like."
Wen Yu looked into the girl's eyes, his voice hoarse.
"I like the fleeting light, and I also like you."
"I know you already have a boyfriend, I just wanted to tell you."
"I like you... I like you a lot, a lot."
Wen Yu's eyes trembled almost imperceptibly.
A strong urge welled up inside me, and I wanted to pull the person in front of me into my arms.
Just like when the chandelier accidentally fell that day, hug her one more time.
He even wanted to bend down and kiss her in such a dimly lit and noisy setting.
But he had no choice and no right to do so.
"..."
Jiang Nian didn't speak, she just looked at him.
"Don't reject me. I'm not here to get a response from you."
Wen Yu straightened up, her gaze slightly lowered.
"I just kept thinking that I should have spoken my true feelings that day, instead of being afraid to admit it and subconsciously denying it."
"I'm sorry, I won't bother you again."
After saying that, Wen Yu took half a step back, turned around and left.
When Han Xu saw that Jiang Nian hadn't gone back yet, he went out to look for her, only to find Jiang Nian standing alone in the corridor.
She leaned closer and asked, "What's wrong, Nian-jie? Why are you spacing out all by yourself?"
Jiang Nian withdrew her gaze and said calmly, "It's nothing."

New Year's Eve.
This was Jiang Nian's first New Year's Eve with her family after returning to the Ji family.
That evening, Ji Yanli sent the Ji family's butler and all the servants home to rest.
They said that the seven older brothers, plus Jiang Nian, each cooked one dish. Eight dishes, just enough to make a New Year's Eve dinner.
It's just that the Ji family's kitchen is big enough that even with so many people working together, it doesn't feel crowded.
Grandpa likes to eat shrimp, so Jiang Nian made braised shrimp in oil. It's fine for Grandpa to eat something with a strong flavor occasionally.
When the prawns were served on a plate, their bright red color was incredibly appealing, and they looked delicious and appetizing, earning unanimous praise from my brothers.
As for the brothers themselves.
The eldest brother is a CEO, the third brother is a designer, the fourth brother is an actor, the fifth brother is a boxer, and the seventh brother is a gaming legend. They're all people who never lift a finger to cook.
Not to mention Sixth Brother.
Those hands, belonging to a piano artist, were beautiful and had distinct knuckles; they were insured for millions, extremely precious.
Let alone Sixth Brother not knowing how to cook.
Even if Sixth Brother wanted to, Jiang Nian wouldn't dare let him touch the knives and hot oil.
So in the end, it was the second brother, who could cook, who chased everyone else out of the kitchen, while he and Jiang Nian busied themselves in the kitchen.
After all the dishes were served, Grandpa Ji couldn't stop smiling.
Looking at my grandsons, each one of whom has grown into an outstanding young man, and my beautiful and excellent granddaughter, I feel a deep sense of emotion.
What is the joy of family life?
This is what we call the joy of family life.
After dinner, the family sat on the sofa watching the Spring Festival Gala. I messaged Si Boye; he was also at home with Grandpa Si that evening.
