chapter 003

The casino was full of people and bustling, and the men and women were all dressed up brightly, looking like they were drunk and gold-obsessed.

Wu Danni's father won a few handfuls just now by playing Texas Small, and he was in a very good mood at this time, so he handed Yu Gui a banknote with Andrew Jackson's head and said: "Don't stand here all the time, go buy some drinks and rest for a while, I don't need you here for the time being." โ€

"Okay, thank you." Yu Gui took the twenty dollars, turned around and walked towards the vending machine at the entrance of the casino. Counting the time on the road, he didn't get a drop of water for nearly four hours, and his throat was indeed a little uncomfortable at this time.

On the way to the vending machine, he would pass by a bartending bar, and Yu Gui walked over without squinting, but before he could take two more steps, he heard a voice from behind him calling him: "Yu Gui?!" Ay! Return! โ€

"......" Yu Gui turned his head helplessly, and saw that a person had already stood behind him, with a surprised smile on his handsome face.

"Coincidentally, this is the fourth time we've met!"

It should be the fifth...... Yu Gui silently corrected in his heart.

If I remember correctly, this person seems to have said yesterday that his name is Yan Shu, the color of Yan, the special Shu.

Yan Shu should be a character who doesn't like cold scenes, and when he saw Yu Gui, he asked again, "You are also here to play today?" Alone? โ€

"No," Yu Gui found that Yan Shu's eyes kept falling on him when he spoke, and he couldn't help but smile lightly and said, "I'm here to work." โ€

A trace of surprise flashed in Yan Shu's eyes, and he just wanted to speak, but he was already preempted by Yu Gui: "I won't tell you first, I have to rush to work, and we will talk again next time I have a chance." โ€

"Eh, wait! I haven't--"

Before Yan Shu finished speaking, Yu Gui had already walked away, leaving him alone to stand in place in a little dazed, and whispered to complete what he had just said: "...... Don't have your contact details yet......"

However, Yu Gui did not hear it.

Yu Gui walked out quickly and bought a bottle of water, unscrewed it and poured down most of the bottle directly, feeling his stomach a little bloated all of a sudden, so he paced around to the entrance on the other side of the casino.

If you go from here, you shouldn't run into Yan Shu again, Yu Gui thought.

In fact, he didn't know where the faint resistance to Yan Shu in his heart came from, but he subconsciously thought that he should stay away from him.

It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes.

When Yu Gui returned to Wu Danni's father again, he found Yan Shu sitting next to her father, and the two of them were still talking and laughing, chatting happily, and they were very familiar, just looking at Wu Danni's father's expression, you could feel that he admired Yan Shu very much.

That's clearly giving himself a look at his future son-in-law.

Yu Gui couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seems that Wu Danni has not told her family about her affairs, and she doesn't know how she will react when they find out in the future.

"Hey, Less than is back." Yu Gui was standing directly behind Yan Shu at this time, but he had a certain angle with Wu Danni's father, and her father saw him as soon as he turned around.

Yu Gui walked over, and just at this time, Yan Shu also looked behind him, but he was stunned when he saw Yu Gui.

Wu Danni's father saw Yan Shu's reaction only when he didn't know who Yu Gui was, so he introduced: "Yan Shu, this is Dani's classmate Yu Gui at Columbia University, and I asked him to help as a translator tonight." โ€

"Oh, I know--"

"Hello, my name is Yu Gui." Before Yan Shu's words could be spoken, Yu Gui had already stretched out his hand to him.

Yan Shu was stunned, and then he also reached out to shake him, and said a little awkwardly: "My name is Yan Shu, and the color of Yan ......"

Wu Danni's father laughed twice and asked Yan Shu, "What did you want to say you just now?" โ€

"Oh......" Yan Shu quickly glanced at Guigui, "I mean, I know Dani is at Columbia. โ€

"You kid," Wu Danni's father smiled and patted Yan Shu's shoulder: "You didn't know about this today." โ€

"Well, I just subconsciously ......" Yan Shu smiled embarrassedly.

Yu Gui could feel that Yan Shu had been secretly looking at him with his peripheral vision, and his heart was a little weird, so he took a few steps back and stood, showing that he didn't want to listen to their conversation.

Wu Danni's father should be very satisfied with his approach, but Yan Shu turned his head to look at Yu Gui a little uncomfortably after a few minutes and said, "Yu Gui, don't stand all the time, come and sit." โ€

"No, I'll just stand." Yu Gui politely declined.

Wu Danni's father also patted Yan Shu at this time and said: "Younger than young, the body is strong, don't worry." Let's keep talking about things, and call him over again if we need to. โ€

Yan Shu saw that Yu Gui and Wu Danni's father said this, and it was not good to insist on anything, but in the next time, he would glance at Yu Gui from time to time.

In fact, with Yan Shu, the meaning of Yu Gui's translation is not much, but since Wu Danni's father did not propose to let him go, he would rather stay for an hour more, it is all money.

Later, Wu Danni and her father opened a few new Texas with a few foreigners, and Yan Shu seized the opportunity to let Yu Gui sit back and translate, while he stood aside and watched the battle.

That's it, Wu Danni's father played until two o'clock in the evening, probably because he won more than he lost, so his spirit was very good.

Yu Gui naturally accompanied him throughout the whole process, and Yan Shu never left, even if he Uncle Wu said several times during the period that he would go to work if he had something to do, Yan Shu said that he had nothing to do, and he always stared at it, but he didn't end up playing.

At 2:40 a.m., Wu Danni and her father seemed to be tired at last, and yawned several times and said, "Don't play, it's time to go back, if I give you the money, you can go home quickly." โ€

"Hmm." Yu Gui watched Wu Danni and her father count out eight hundred dollars from their wallets, took them and packed them, and felt really sure.

"Uncle Wu, then I'll go back first." There was nothing left for him, so Yu Gui took his leave.

Wu Danni's father smiled at him and nodded: "I've worked hard for you today, let's go." โ€

Yu Gui didn't linger any longer, turned around and walked towards the subway station, but he was thinking in his heart that Yan Shu shouldn't follow--

"Return! Wait a minute! โ€

Really...... Yu Gui sighed, feeling that he should not be so accurate.

Yan Shu was so kind to him just now, if he turned a blind eye to others at this time, it would be a little too much to say. Yu Gui then stopped, turned around and saw Yan Shu running towards him, his expression was quite anxious, as if he was afraid that Yu Gui would not wait for him.

"What's the matter?" Yu Gui waited for him to run to him before asking.

"No, nothing special...... Yan Shu looked at Yu Gui a little cramped, touched his head and smiled, "I just want to tell you that it's too late now, and it's not โ–กโ–ก to take the subway." Where do you live? Or I'll send you back, I'll drive. โ€

Yu Gui didn't expect Yan Shu to specifically offer to send him home, in his opinion, the relationship between the two of them should not have developed to this level.

"Thanks, but no. I often take the subway late, so there's nothing unsafe. Yu Gui said.

"Let me send you...... It's all this time, there is no traffic jam on the road, the car is definitely faster than the subway, and you can go back early. โ€

"Not really." After Yu Gui refused again, he found that Yan Shu's expression was a little embarrassed, so he slowed down his tone a little and said, "Thank you, but I don't like to cause trouble to people." โ€

"Don't bother--" The words Yan Shu said later were covered by a loud rumbling sound, it turned out that they were standing above the subway station at this time, Yu Gui didn't bother to say more to him when he heard it, and said loudly: "The car is coming, I have to go!" Go back! I'll talk about it later when I have a chance! โ€

"Eh, Yu Gui, don't go first, I haven't yet--" Yan Shu said and saw Yu Gui standing at the subway entrance and waved at him, and then the person ran down, he wanted to chase but couldn't find a suitable reason, so he had to stand in place.

When the rumbling sound sounded again, Yan Shu knew that Yu Gui had already gotten in the car and left, so he couldn't help but bow his head and sigh silently.

"I don't have your contact information yet......"

โ€ป

The next day, Sunday.

Yu Gui has to be tutored three times a day, one in the morning and two in the afternoon. The last one in the afternoon was near the SocialWork (SSW) building at Columbia University, so he used to go straight to the SSW library to study at the end of the day and stay until about 10 p.m. before going home.

Today is no exception.

Yu Gui came directly after class just after seven o'clock, and he walked to his favorite corner as usual, but when he got to the front, he found that the place where he usually sat had been occupied, and he was still the half-baked person.

Yan Shu ......

Yu Guidu doesn't know how to describe his mood at the moment, some people in life either don't show up at all, or they can't stop as soon as they appear, which is really a puzzling phenomenon.

Probably feeling Yu Gui's gaze, Yan Shu raised his head at this time, and his eyes lit up obviously after seeing Yu Gui.

Fortunately, because he was in the library, he didn't open his mouth to scream, so Yu Gui smiled politely at him, didn't go any further, but sat down on a table across from Yan Shu, took out all the books and made it look like he wanted to concentrate on his studies.

Seeing this, Yan Shu didn't come up to talk to him very clearly, while Yu Gui was thinking about how to wait so as not to be discovered by him.

Based on yesterday's experience, Yu Gui felt that it would never work if he wanted to rely on delaying time. So what's the other way?

Yu Gui's eyes were staring at the book and thinking as he read it, when suddenly there was a throbbing pain in his stomach.

He couldn't help but press his hand against his stomach gently, thinking that it would be fine after a while, but he didn't expect the throbbing pain in his stomach to get worse and worse, and cold sweat gradually began to break out on Yu Gui's forehead, his face became more and more ugly, and there was no blood on his lips at all.

Yu Gui's stomach has always been not very good, and his irregular work and rest and the habit of not taking care of eating when he encounters work make him often hungry and full, and his stomach is a little fragile in the long run.

Today he was also at noon after class to the second downstairs because of the delay of the subway, it was too late to eat, he simply did not eat, there was a period of special hunger in the afternoon, but he forced himself to make himself hungry, and as a result, he had nothing to eat until the end of class*, so he came directly to the library.

I knew that I should buy something to cushion first, and I would have saved myself from being so uncomfortable at this time.

It's too late for Yu Gui to regret it now.

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Yu Gui, are you alright? Suddenly there was an extra hand on his shoulder, and Yu Gui shook his head lightly when he heard Yan Shu's nervous voice.

He couldn't hold it anymore and lay on the table just now, and now he was so painful that he didn't want to speak, so he could only use his fist against his stomach to feel a little better.

"Hey, Yu Gui ......" Yan Shu next to him was obviously very worried when he saw him like this, he squeezed his shoulder hard, and then let go, Yu Gui felt that he was far away, but he returned after a while.

"Yu Gui, you can drink some hot water." Yan Shu half-squatted beside him, and his voice was full of worry: "Is it an upset stomach?" Did you eat in the afternoon? โ€

Yu Gui nodded, shook his head again, Yan Shu actually understood.

Seeing Yu Gui's current weak appearance, he probably couldn't hold the cup, so he pulled a stool and sat next to him, Yu Gui helped him up, and then put the disposable water cup close to his lips and fed him water.

Yu Gui didn't want to mention how embarrassed he was......

He is almost half encircled by Yan Shu now, and the two of them are such a move, if they are seen by others, they may not think what they will think.

But he can't use much strength now, and his stomach is really uncomfortable, and he feels a little better after being fed two sips of warm water by Yan Shu, so he can't push people away, so he can only maintain this posture and drink a few more sips.

"How? Does it still hurt badly? Seeing that most of the glass of water went down, Yan Shu put the cup on the table, but his eyes stared at Yu Guiwen without turning his eyes.

Yu Gui saw his worried eyes, his heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help but look away a little and said, "It's better." โ€

Yan Shu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." So, you wait for me here, and I'll go buy you something to eat and I'll be back soon." With that, he stood up and was about to leave.

"Oh, no!" Yu Gui hurriedly pulled him, but his hands grabbed the corner of Yan Shu's clothes, but because of his lack of strength, he let that corner slip out again.

Yan Shu stood out of his reach, turned around and made an "ok" gesture at him, and then walked out of the library quickly, Yu Gui looked helpless, if it weren't for his stomach not relieving now, he would definitely have caught up.

It's really feng shui in turns.

Yu Gui thought that finally he also had the experience of being left behind by Yan Shu.
