Gu Li looked at Xu Lang with a blazing gaze, "Do you dare to take a gamble on dignity, Lang?"
Xu Lang's eyes also shone with excitement. "Of course I dare to come, Li."
Jiang Xu looked at the arrogance these two were displaying, then calmly looked at Xie Tao and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should just be the part where they talk tough."
Xie Tao nodded calmly, "That's right."
Xu Lang looked at the two calm people and said in a low voice, "This is really ruining the atmosphere."
Gu Li propped his head up and slumped down lazily. "It's alright. The bet is that if I win, I'll be the big brother." That was all he said.
Xu Lang: "What else? Why didn't you also reveal the condition that I'll be the eldest brother if I win?"
Gu Li said confidently, "You have no chance of winning. Let's roll the dice, Jiang Xu." His tone was so certain that Xu Lang was itching to see him wince.
Xu Lang: "You just wait and call me big brother. I'll beat him and show him, Xie Tao."
Suddenly, the game seemed to have become much longer because of the increased stakes between the two.
Gu Li: "5, Jiang Xu, give me a 5, let's take it straight."
Jiang Xu tossed the ball up, and the bright '6' came to a stop.
Xu Lang: "Here it comes, here it comes, the opportunity has come, 3, God bless, 3, come!"
The dice stopped again, and the '4' landed perfectly still.
Gu Li: "God decisively rejected you, so I'm destined to win."
After two rounds, it was still just a little short.
Gu Li fell silent. Xu Lang glanced at him and said, "Gu Li has given up. We're the ones who will win."
Xu Lang finished speaking along with the dice, while Xie Tao was still just a little short.
Gu Li raised an eyebrow at Xu Lang.
Jiang Xu tossed the piece aside, and the battle ended abruptly. His last piece had reached its end.
Gu Li laughed, patted Jiang Xu on the shoulder, "Alright," he put his hand on Jiang Xu's shoulder and then looked at Xu Lang, "Young man, you're still too young."
Xu Lang: "What happened? We won already?"
Gu Li beckoned to Xu Lang mysteriously, "Lang, haven't you noticed yet?"
Xu Lang was completely confused. "Found what? What are you trying to fool me about now?"
Gu Li shook her finger and lowered her voice, "How could it be a lie? Didn't you notice that the dice were like they were broken as soon as the two of us joined their battle?"
Xu Lang thought for a moment, "That's true, that's why you suddenly stopped talking just now," he also lowered his voice, "If it's really that weird, then maybe we shouldn't go out?"
Gu Li said, "Why don't you ask Xie Tao for his opinion? I think it would be better if everyone brainstormed together."
Xu Lang looked at Xie Tao with a serious expression, "Tao, I think what Li said makes some sense, what do you think?"
Xie Tao patted Xu Lang on the back of the head helplessly, "Guess why Li didn't go ask Jiang Xu."
Xu Lang looked at Jiang Xu with a puzzled expression. Jiang Xu smiled at him, his smile carrying a hint of teasing. "Damn!" He suddenly realized what Jiang Xu meant and looked at Gu Li. "Well, you were just kidding me again, Gu Li."
Gu Li propped his head up and smiled at Xu Lang, "Good boy, call me big brother."
Xu Lang, “…” Whether he was lying or not, he really didn’t win the bet. “You said you’re the youngest among us, and you’re always thinking about being the older brother.”
Xie Tao said: It's all because you and Ji Hai spoiled him.
Gu Li smiled and looked at Xu Lang without saying a word.
Xu Lang: "My dear Brother Gu, stop laughing, it's creepy."
Gu Li then stopped laughing. "How could that be? I don't even smile at a few people."
Jiang Xu said, "Why didn't you smile at many people? I just smiled at some unimportant people the day before yesterday." He continued, not as a question, but as a calm statement.
Gu Li glanced at Jiang Xu, thinking, "This kid's holding a grudge."
Xu Lang's eyes became even more lively. "There's some juicy gossip out there. Tell me about it and let's share."
Gu Li said, "Not to mention, you just finished eating and you're still eating too much? Aren't you afraid of getting too full?" He then pointed at Jiang Xu, "Besides, this is the youngest among us."
Xu Lang sighed, "Oh right, Jiang Xu is a junior, right? It's so nice to be young."
Xie Tao said, "You're not old, but if you sigh again, you might be."
Xu Lang smiled happily, "Tao, you have a nicer way of speaking."
Gu Li said, "Then tell me who spoke rudely," before Xu Lang could answer, he turned to Jiang Xu and said, "He said you spoke rudely." He suddenly leaned close to Jiang Xu and lowered his voice very low, "Brother Xu."
The volume was so low that only the two of them could hear it, and their breathing was so close that Jiang Xu felt as if his ears were covered in mist. It was an illusion, yet it felt strangely real.
Jiang Xu thought that Gu Li really always used the same routine, but it was indeed effective.
Xu Lang looked at Gu Li's actions and said, "What are you whispering about? You won't let us hear. Are you talking badly about me?"
Gu Li stepped back a little, "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. Have you done something wrong, Lang?"
Xu Lang: "I didn't do anything wrong."
Xie Tao watched from the side, thinking to himself, "Sure enough, Gu Li has tricked me again."
Jiang Xu spoke up at this moment, "The time hasn't come yet." He was referring to the installment period, and he knew what Gu Liming meant.
Gu Li looked at Jiang Xu, whose throat suddenly felt a little itchy. He swallowed and said, "Yes, it was an unexpected windfall."
Xu Lang couldn't understand what they were saying at all, but when he heard about the unexpected windfall, he immediately clicked on it. "How many tiers of money do you guys give me for the unexpected windfall? When Lü Chao and I are shoveling together, we always get either the first or second tier. Although the 15 yuan and 30 yuan tiers increase our income, I still want the 45 yuan tier."
Xie Tao sighed, "No more playing with the golden shovel tonight."
Upon hearing this, Xu Lang's face fell, his expression so bitter that even his nose wrinkled up. "No, Tao, I made plans with Gu Li, Jiang Xu, and Lü Chao. Breaking a promise isn't a good thing."
Xie Tao looked at Gu Li and asked, "Really?" His tone was full of disbelief.
Xu Lang desperately tried to signal to Gu Li with his eyes, and Gu Li got the message. After teasing Xu Lang for a while, he decided to help him out.
Gu Li displayed the acting skills expected of a good actor, nodding, "It's indeed arranged." He even turned his head to Jiang Xu for confirmation, "Right?"
Jiang Xu met Xie Tao's gaze and said, "Yes, it was agreed beforehand." Another good actor has completed his performance.
Xu Lang then tugged at Xie Tao's sleeve, "Look, we can't break our promise, Tao."
Xie Tao glanced at Xu Lang's expression, and although he knew it was an act, he still compromised a bit, "Then we have to finish and rest at 12 o'clock."
Xu Lang nodded and smiled in agreement, thinking he could just play secretly under the covers at worst.
Xie Tao: "I will log into your account to check the records."
Xu Lang, "It's about the most basic trust between people!"
Xie Tao, "You killed me. Who told you to have so many bad deeds?"
Xu Lang winked at Gu Li, hinting that he should plead for him.
Gu Li helplessly shrugged and smiled, indicating that it was a different price.
Seeing that the commotion had subsided, Gu Li stood up. "It's time to go. You're going to support Jiang Xu, right? Jiang Xu."
Jiang Xu happened to stand up at that moment, and the two looked at each other.
