Shi Xi nodded and smiled politely, without engaging in conversation with Qin Feng.
The way Qin Feng looked at her was as if she were being watched the first time she visited the Qin family.
Han Yan frowned. "Qin Xue, what card do you have left? Brother Chen has three cards left and is about to win."
Zhou Jin kept letting Qin Xue win and letting her play her cards, but Qin Xue never won, instead letting Shen Sheng, who was sitting to Qin Xue's left, keep winning.
Shen Sheng was a landlord.
Qin Xue picked up the cards and showed them to Shi Xi, "I definitely can't leave. You guys decide who to leave, but don't let Brother Chen win."
Han Yan asked, "Master, what cards does she have left in her hand?"
Shen Sheng played another King and said, "Xiao Xi, a true gentleman observes chess without speaking, so you mustn't reveal what Qin Xue's cards are."
He still has two cards left. As long as Zhou Jin and Han Yan don't have any bombs in their hands, he's sure to win.
Shi Xi smiled without saying a word; this time, Brother Chen was going to win.
As expected, neither Zhou Jin nor Han Yan had a card that could beat the King. In the end, Shen Sheng had two Aces left, which he played together and won.
Han Yan flipped over the cards Qin Xue had left in her hand; it was a three of hearts.
Qin Xue said apologetically, "I played too aggressively at the beginning, and in the end, I couldn't get rid of this three of hearts. That's why I told you to just watch and play, and not to worry about me."
Who would have thought that a goalkeeper, who kept playing cards at the beginning to prevent the other two players from playing, would end up with only a three of hearts left in his hand?
Shi Xi's hands were itching. "Second brother, go get two decks of cards. I want to play a round too."
Shen Sheng waved his hand, "I'm not playing anymore, you guys play, I'm going out to check on Aso."
“Okay, Brother Shen, tell Actor Han not to make things too difficult for himself. If he doesn’t like it, he doesn’t have to do it,” Shi Xi said to Shen Sheng.
She didn't want to see Han, the movie star, putting on a forced smile.
Shen Sheng lowered his head slightly and looked down. "Alright, I will tell Aso what you said."
The banquet was about to begin, and Shi Xi's wish to play cards was not fulfilled.
Shi Xi linked arms with her parents, with Shi Hao and Shi Han following behind. The lights shone on them, making Shi Xi look like a princess being pampered by the Shi family.
Father Shi: "This is my daughter, Shi Xi. Thank you all so much for coming to my daughter's coming-of-age ceremony. In the blink of an eye, eighteen years have passed. How fast time flies! I feel love and affection for this daughter, but even more so, I feel guilty. I feel guilty that she wasn't by my side when she was little, and I couldn't watch her grow up little by little."
In the blink of an eye, that baby in swaddling clothes has grown into a beautiful young woman; it's my blessing.
Shi's father whispered, "Just say a few words to Xiangqian. Don't be afraid, your mom and dad are here with you."
Shi Xi nodded, smiled, and walked forward to her father's seat. "Hello everyone, I am Shi Xi. Thank you all for attending my coming-of-age ceremony."
The audience erupted in applause.
Shi Xi took her parents' arms and walked off the stage. Shisan gave Shi Xi the coat he had prepared and put it on her.
"Thank you, Thirteen." Thirteen took a long red down jacket, and Shi Xi felt as if she were getting married.
As always, Di Chenxiao sat quietly in the corner, drinking his beverage.
Shi Xi is strict and forbids him from drinking!
Shi Xi was about to go find Di Chenxiao when her attention was drawn to the noise at the door.
A masked man in a flawless white suit followed behind Bai Ying and Bai Jian, each carrying a gift box.
Under everyone's gaze, Bai Yanlang walked to Shi Xi's side and said, "Happy birthday!"
