"fifty thousand."
"Pong, 3 of bamboo."
"A kong, a pure suit, I win!" Xiao Lin said, then looked at Xia He with a smile, his merciless tail wagging so hard it was about to take off.
"You really didn't know how to play mahjong before?" Xia He asked.
"I just watched you practice, and I learned it by watching you," Xiao Lin said nonchalantly.
"I was just saying... who would have thought you'd actually learn it after just one look?" Xia He muttered softly.
Xiao Lin, who was standing to the side, heard this but didn't say anything, only a faint smile on his lips.
Li Chunhua and Dr. Qian were very unconvinced, each sticking four slips of paper on their faces, shouting, "Let's go again! Don't be too smug!"
And so, the mahjong game ended when Dr. Qian and Li Chunhua could no longer stick any more paper strips on their faces.
"I'm not playing anymore!" Li Chunhua muttered, her face covered in notes.
At this moment, Xiao Lin had only a few strips of paper stuck to his cheeks, and he looked extremely spirited and carefree.
"The newbie aura is too strong!" Xia He tried to defend the three elderly people, but the faint smile on her lips betrayed her.
"Yes, it's all because the newbie aura is too strong. Next time we play mahjong, the third player can't let me win again!" Xiao Lin chimed in.
After the mahjong game ended, Xia He said to Li Chunhua, "Let's leave this mahjong table here and play again next time!"
Li Chunhua, who was cleaning the note off her face, answered casually.
Xia He gave Xiao Lin a look, and Xiao Lin immediately understood. "Dr. Qian, Dr. Wang, Granny Li, we're leaving!"
After saying that, he left Li Chunhua's house with the three animals.
Afterwards, Xiao Lin waited for Xia He to enter the room, and taking advantage of Xia He's inattention, he quickly entered Xia He's room.
After all three of them came in, they took advantage of Xia He's inattention and pulled her out.
The panda and glutinous rice ball were screaming wildly inside the house, "Meal tickets! Give me back my meal tickets!"
However, Xiaohua didn't dare to open the door for the two little ones. She could only turn on the TV in the living room to pass the time. The two little ones quieted down after arguing for a while and then snuggled up on the sofa with Xiaohua to watch TV.
Before they knew it, the three of them snuggled together and fell asleep. Little Flower was so comfortable that she even transformed into her true form.
If Xia He were in the room at this moment, she would see a large tiger, a black and white dog of similar size, and a small silver dog, with the two dogs and the tiger snuggling together.
The television was also playing an animated film by Giru, featuring expressions that animals could understand.
Meanwhile, Xia He was being dragged along by Xiao Lin, running wildly. It was unclear where Xiao Lin could possibly take Xia He from this spherical base.
The base had already returned to Lucheng while they were playing mahjong. Apart from the staff, there was hardly anyone wandering around the base.
So Xiao Lin ran wildly with Xia He.
Finally, the two stopped. Xia He looked closely and found that the top of her head was transparent. Through the glass, or rather, the glass, she could see the night sky directly outside.
"Why did you bring me here like this!" Xia He gasped for breath.
“This place was built by Professor Fu when I was constructing the base. Currently, only I can enter.” Xiao Lin sat down on the ground and looked up at the ceiling.
Xia He sat down next to Xiao Lin, her gaze following his.
"Isn't it pitch black? We can't see anything." Xia He followed Xiao Lin's gaze.
"Activate the spiritual power within your body and use it to sense."
Following Xiao Lin's instructions, Xia He activated the spiritual energy within her body, closed her eyes, and focused on sensing. Gradually, she could perceive the faint flow of spiritual energy around her body, and the transparent area above her head began to reveal the beauty of the starry sky.
"The starry sky is so beautiful."
Beneath the transparent dome, the night sky reveals a mysterious and serene beauty. Countless stars twinkle with faint light, scattered across the deep night sky, creating a magnificent starry panorama.
Among the stars, the faint Milky Way, like a graceful ribbon, stretches across the entire sky. Against the dark backdrop, it glows softly, like a faint stream of light in the universe.
In the quiet and mysterious night sky, sometimes one or two shooting stars streak across, breaking the darkness and illuminating a corner of the starry sky. These shooting stars are like messengers of the universe, leaving a beautiful trace before silently disappearing into the depths of the night.
Xia He and Xiao Lin sat in the transparent area, feeling the wonder of the universe, as if they themselves had merged into the rhythm of the stars. This night sky was a confluence of tranquility and power.
"Why did you come up with a place like this?" Xia He asked, puzzled.
"Because I've wanted to sit with you like this and watch the stars for a long time," Xiao Lin said earnestly to Xia He.
Xia He lowered her head, a shy pink blush spreading across her ears, and Xiao Lin happened to see this scene.
The two sat quietly under the starry sky, their unspoken understanding a precious treasure in the face of the universe's splendor. The stars twinkled, as if shining brightly just for this moment.
