Chapter 21: Half Past Ten
Li Yuxiu was a little puzzled.
On Xiao Ye's platform, it is obvious that the stakes are much bigger than here.
"I don't understand." Zhao Xinyue showed a smug look.
She whispered to Li Yuxiu like a master.
"See that Harumachi?"
"Kumachi?"
"It's the one in the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon."
Only then did Li Yuxiu react.
The man sitting next to Xiao Ye on the stage had naturally curly hair.
Some are like the Gu Mozhi in Huang Rihua's version of "Dragon Babu".
"It was a coppersmith. They are now teaming up to wash that man. ”
Zhao Xinyue's terminology is so clear that Li Yuxiu seems to understand it.
She could hear that the general meaning was that several people worked together to make the whole one.
"Isn't this out of the blue?"
"yes, so what?"
"Can't that Hatama Chi find out?"
"Maybe you know, maybe it's just a second flute, who knows. When I arrived at this place, my heart became more and more ruthless. You want to join forces to bring down people, and people want to wipe you out with all their might. I knew of one time when a guy washed a yard. ”
"And who can these people spare?"
"It's definitely uncomfortable in my heart. You're like that time, and suddenly someone turned back, and it was like acting on TV, and the guns were pulled out. Later, I don't know who quietly called the police and asked the police to serve a nest. ”
"Huh? It's so dangerous, you still play? ”
"Wealth and danger are begging. What's more, most of the time, it's actually quite safe. Didn't you see that there was a search at the door? Don't look at these people as evil. They also pick people, and when they encounter something worse or something they can't mess with, they hide from it. ”
"But it's still a scam, you know that others don't know? The person who plays is willing to jump down? ”
"What's the matter, we're all small characters, and how much money we have on us is something to worry about. They cheat and pick the big ones well. You have neither money nor guts, at best, you mix in with a small amount of money, and no one will bird you. ”
Zhao Xinyue said as she saw the opportunity to press the chips on the table with the idle side.
Before Li Yuxiu could figure out how to play, as soon as the dice opened, someone pushed the same two chips in front of Zhao Xinyue.
"Ahh
She took the chips and gave one to Li Yuxiu.
"Look, how easy."
Zhao Xinyue said and flew to other gambling tables like a little bird.
After a while.
She pouted again and folded back.
Standing next to Li Yuxiu and not speaking.
His eyes were fixed on the chip in Li Yuxiu's hand.
"Lost." Li Yuxiu knew it by looking at her expression.
"Then I'll give it back to you."
Zhao Xinyue's head shook like a rattle.
"How can I come back from what you gave it."
She said, her eyes rolling.
"Otherwise, you can also do it, and if you win, I will score, and if you lose, it will be forgotten."
"I won't ......"
"The luck of the people who just played is very good. You take it easy. That's it. ”
Zhao Xinyue pressed Li Yuxiu to a table and sat down.
He quickly took Li Yuxiu's chips and exchanged them for ten chips with smaller face values.
Then return to Li Yuxiu.
"It's half past ten. The number remains the same, from 1 to 10, JQK and the big and small kings are half a point. ”
"How to play?"
"You sit down first, and I'll show you later."
Across the table sits the dealer.
Looking at the expressionless man, Li Yuxiu was a little nervous.
"Don't look him in the eye." , Zhao Xinyue whispered.
The chips are set, and the dealer begins to shuffle and deal the cards.
The table is not big, like a regular mahjong table.
In addition to the dealer, there were three people sitting at the table, including Li Yuxiu.
Each of the four men occupies a side.
The dealer first dealt a card to each of the four people.
Then start bidding from the next house.
Players first look at their hole cards.
Select want or don't.
The first player looked at the cards and said "pass".
The second player threw two more chips and said, "Yes." ”
The dealer dealt him another card face-up.
It's a 9.
The second player throws away his cards in frustration.
Li Yuxiu saw that his hole card was a 2.
"See, 2 plus 9 is 11, more than half past ten, this is called swelling death."
"That's half past ten?"
"No, there is also a card shape called Five Dragons. That is, when the fifth card is dealt, the cards add up to no more than 10 and a half. This one is the most powerful, bigger than half past ten. ”
"What if a few of them are five dragons? Then the one with the smaller number of points wins. ”
Li Yuxiu took Zhang A.
Zhao Xinyue also took two chips and slapped them on the table and said, "Yes." ”
The dealer dealt another 9.
"Alright, alright." Zhao Xinyue said.
This time it was the dealer's turn.
He threw two chips and sent himself a king.
He then dropped two more chips and made an 8.
The dealer begins to count the cards.
"The first one is not wanted, at most it is a big 10, the second has exploded, the dealer's hole card may be an A, or it may be a half-point. If it's an ace, he probably doesn't want it, but if it's a flower card, he's smaller than our face, so he'll still want it. ”
Zhao Xinyue explained to Li Yuxiu in a whisper on the side.
Sure enough, the dealer pondered for a moment, dropped his chips and turned over another card.
A small 3.
As the cards are turned over, the dealer leans back, as if afraid of the cards coming after him.
In the end, he deflated and deducted the card.
Now there are only two left.
Show the cards.
The first player turned out to be a big 10.
But Zhao Xinyue happily grabbed the chips on the table.
"If the number of points is the same, we win more cards." She explained to Li Yuxiu as she moved.
The time to play is always short, and it flickers to 7 o'clock in the morning.
It's already getting dark outside.
At this time, Li Yuxiu had a small pile of chips in front of him.
Behind her, there were crowds of spectators.
She was surprisingly popular that night.
Maybe it's like Zhao Xinyue said.
Those who play for the first time are particularly lucky.
At the end of the day, there were no other players at the table.
The dealer throws the poker on the table to indicate the end of the game.
The chips were converted into cash, and there were more than 40,000.
Li Yuxiu held the money in her hand and felt a little unreal.
She rubbed her dry eyes, and suddenly remembered that there was such a scary thing outside the window of her house.
"Let's go, Yueyue."
"Where are you going?"
"Go home first."
Zhao Xinyue also yawned at the moment.
But she was in no hurry to leave.
Until that handsome guy Xiao Ye stuffed a thin wad of money into her hand.
She lazily got on the elevator.
"If you win, you will be paid?" Li Yuxiu asked.
"Or else? Winning is the skill. In this place, the less rich you are, the more people look down on you, and the ones who win are the uncles. The more you win, the brighter they smile at you, and the higher the salary. ”
"Anything else?"
"Ouch, my silly sister, it's all the hearts of people who play. He's good to you, you can come back next time, there will always be a time when you miss. ”
Zhao Xinyue fell asleep as she spoke, and fell asleep as soon as she got into the taxi.
Li Yuxiu couldn't sleep.
On the one hand, there is a win.
It's a whole new experience.
For the first time, she felt that money could come so easily.
Instead of having to nail the nail board to work every day.
I'm looking forward to the day when my salary will be paid.
Back home.
Li Yuxiu opened the door first and poked her head out to look at the balcony.
The thing hung on the edge of the window.
There was no wind at the moment, and the mask hung motionless.
Now it doesn't seem so scary.
But after last night's toss.
Li Yuxiu still didn't dare to touch that thing.
Zhao Xinyue took a look, took a mop and leaned out of the window to pick the thing off.
She still took it in her hand and looked at it.
"Hey, throw it away." Li Yuxiu said as she stood behind her.
"It's kind of fun." Zhao Xinyue turned the mask over and over again, looked at it, threw it into the trash can, and went directly to the guest room to sleep.
Li Yuxiu hurriedly freshened up, changed her clothes and hurried to work.
On the way to work, I received a call from Ren Zhe.
Ren Zhe on the other end of the phone cautiously flattered her.
I'm afraid she's still angry.
But Li Yuxiu was not angry at all.
Really not angry.
Ren Zhe's side finally suffered until dawn.
I want to give Li Yuxiu a call.
I was afraid of calling Li Yuxiu too early, and Li Yuxiu felt that he was weak-hearted.
waited until he finished breakfast with Yunshang before making a phone call.
He originally thought that Li Yuxiu would either refuse to accept him or count him down for a long time.
But his idea fell through.
Li Yuxiu on the other end of the phone was calm as if nothing had happened.
Ren Zhe was a little puzzled.
It's Li Yuxiu's performance that is too abnormal.
Or did he overreact?
Just when Ren Zhe was uneasy.
Yunshang is about to leave.
Ren Zhe didn't think about it anymore.
With Yunshang went to another city.
Before getting on the plane, he called Zhou Dawei.
Let Chow Dawei hurry up and prepare the paperwork for the project bidding.
Zhou Dawei has actually been looking forward to Ren Zhe's reply.
Knowing that the project was won, he thanked him on the phone, so he was grateful.
But Ren Zhe suddenly felt lost.
What kind of medium is society?
It's only been just over a year.
What was once a simple classmate friendship has become a person's inferiority to another.
Is this a human transformation or a law of society?
Yunshang is in good spirits today.
Ren Zhe felt that after last night's incident, the way she looked at him was different.
is obviously a great beauty, but he thinks that he is not blessed and can't afford it.
It was a sweet burden.
It's been a week since I came back from another city.
As soon as he got off the plane, Ren Zhe saw Zhou Dawei.
He specially rented a luxury car to pick up the airport.
"It's a bit of an exaggeration, buddy." Ren Zhe glanced at the empty car that Xiao Zhou was following behind.
"It should be, it should be. If I can hold Mr. Yun's leg, I am willing to take it every day. ”
Yunshang glanced at Ren Zhe in the passenger seat.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
A meaningful smile is revealed.
Sending Yunshang home, Zhou Dawei pulled Ren Zhe to eat.
"Didn't you call your Yang Lin?" , Ren Zhe asked Zhou Dawei.
"Hey, don't mention it, her husband has been twitching for a few days, and he can't get out of it."
found a restaurant downstairs at Ren Zhe's house, and the two of them sat down.
It's almost time to get off work.
Ren Zhe called Li Yuxiu and asked her to come over for dinner.
She didn't come, saying that Zhao Xinyue had made an appointment to go shopping together in the evening.
Ren Zhe hung up the phone a little depressed.
Zhou Dawei smiled: "Women are like this. ”
"No, I think she's been a little different lately."
"How is it different?"
"It's a gut feeling."
"There's no one out there."
"you, you think people are like your family......"
Ren Zhe did not continue.
"Hehe, it's okay, Yang Lin and I are originally relatively unique existences."
"Dawei, there is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not."
"I know what you're trying to say. But after so many years, how can you say that you are separated. ”
"If you really can't be separated, then find a way to be together in a dignified manner. It's not always a good idea to be so sneaky. ”
"I'll be honest with you. She and I never talked about it. People are sometimes weird, have you noticed? When we first started together, we both thought it was just fun. But the more you play, the more addictive you become, and the more you play, the more inseparable you become. Cheating is more exciting than being together in the open. If she really got the certificate, got married, and was tripped by the old man and children one day, I am afraid that she would end up like her and Yu Dong. ”
"So you're going to spend it like this? Yang Lin is married and has a husband. When did she get tired of playing and returned, life as usual. But you should always think about yourself and your family. ”
"Let it be, isn't it still young."
"I'm afraid it's too late when you're old."
"You and Li Yuxiu haven't moved, I'm in a hurry."
"How do you know there's no movement? At the latest, after the New Year, I proposed to her when I mortgaged the house. ”
"Speaking of which, you are also very good, your family can't help you, and you can also struggle to settle here. When this order is completed, my brother will help you make up two more, and I will marry her back this year. ”
"Don't help me, I have my own plans. With the money, Jiang Zuo and Zhang Guangliang were returned first. and Yang Lin, she gave you a few times before and after, I'm afraid that she didn't have so much money alone. ”
"Got it, boss. As long as it's done, everyone will be ...... By the way, do you know a guy named Jia Bonian? ”
Ren Zhe felt a pang in his heart, "What's wrong?" ”
"When the tender announcement came out, I went to sign up, and I met a person there, and he asked me if I knew Jia Bonian, and I asked several times."
"And then?"
"No more. I said I didn't really know, and he walked away when it was over. ”
When I returned home after eating with Zhou Dawei, Li Yuxiu had not yet returned.
As soon as Ren Zhe saw that it was past eight o'clock, he called Yunsheng.
"It's strange today, it's going to call me. Is there something wrong? Yunshang asked.
"Did you tell Jia Bonian about the project?"
"Anyway, I asked him not to get involved, what's wrong, is there a problem?"
"Nothing, I'll just make sure."
Hanging up the phone, Ren Zhe fell into deep thought.
Now that Yunshang has stopped Jia Bonian, why did the person Zhou Dawei meet ask like that.
The key is that Zhou Dawei didn't know the inside story, so he didn't pay attention to the identity of that person at all.
Will it be the staff, or will it be Jabonnian's people?
So what is the motivation for asking?
A detail that seemed to be inconsequential, just because of Jia Bonian, Ren Zhe thought a lot, but he couldn't figure it out.
Until Li Yuxiu entered the door, Ren Zhe still sat motionless on the sofa.
Li Yuxiu put down the things in his hand and hugged Ren Zhe's neck from behind.
"What's wrong?" She whispered.
"It's fine." Ren Zhe stretched his tightly knit brows.
"Why is it so late?" , Ren Zhe asked.
"We went to the pedestrian street. I bought you a few clothes, come, and see if it fits. ”
Li Yuxiu said as she took out a few pieces of men's clothing from her handbag.
"So good?"
"What do you think?" Li Yuxiu curled her nose.
Ren Zhe took the clothes and took a look.
A brand that should be.
Very expensive kind.
"Why are you buying something so expensive?" Ren Zhe was a little angry.
Li Yuxiu was stunned for a moment, and she felt that Ren Zhe's tone was stiff.
She also lost her temper suddenly.
"yes, why am I buying something so expensive? It's not to dress you up and fall in love with your Yunsheng. ”
She finally mentioned it.
Ren Zhe inexplicably felt at ease, this is the posture she should have.
"Yunshang and I are just colleagues." Ren Zhe softened his tone.
Who knew that Li Yuxiu was coming.
"Colleague? Have you ever seen a male and female colleague go around the world all day long. Eat and live together. Even during the day, the big night is mixed in the same room. Your colleagues are too harmonious, isn't it? ”
"That's just occasionally. It's normal to do things at night? ”
"Who knows if you're working or doing?"
"Li Yuxiu, you are doubting my character."
"You know it in your own heart."
Ren Zhe rolled his eyes a few times and said nothing.
This kind of thing can never be confused with women.
Smart men will take the opportunity to shut up.
Ren Zhe felt that as long as Li Yuxiu didn't hold things back, he could say it.
This shows that the problem is no longer big.
His purpose was achieved.
In fact, there is something wrong with Li Yuxiu.
She has always been willing to spend money for him.
But he was very stingy with himself.
Looking at her whole body full of discounted goods.
Ren Zhe's heart was sour, and he wanted to hug her.
Who knew that Ren Zhe was not close yet, and was picked up by Li Yuxiu.
She tossed her newly purchased clothes into her handbag and snorted into the bedroom.
Before he could turn on the light, Li Yuxiu suddenly shouted.
"Ahh
Ren Zhe hurriedly ran into the bedroom.
"What's wrong?" He said as he turned on the light.
"Eyes", Li Yuxiu leaned against the wall and pulled her body.
His eyes were looking out the window, and he was holding his handbag tightly in his arms.
"What eyes?" , Ren Zhe followed Li Yuxiu's gaze and looked out the window.
There is nothing black and black.
"When I entered the door, I saw a pair of eyes outside the window." Li Yuxiu gasped as she spoke.
Ren Zhe walked over to the window.
The window was empty.
"Hallucinations." Ren Zhe said and pushed open the window.
There is nothing but the wind.
He couldn't have thought of anything.
It's the twenty-first floor, and who can stand outside the window.
But Li Yuxiu was still visibly nervous.
"Look at it again."
Ren Zhe pushed his upper body out of the window and looked up.
"Ah", Ren Zhe shouted.
"What's wrong?" Li Yuxiu pounced on him as she spoke, she was worried that he had made a mistake.
Ren Zhe pulled in and closed the window, and said with a hippie smile: "No, I just want to call." ”
"What are you nervous about in the middle of the night?" Li Yuxiu patted him gently.
"What do you say?" Ren Zhe took advantage of the situation to pick up Li Yuxiu and looked at her in fascination.
Li Yuxiu's heart softened, and she lowered her head shyly.
