The coffee table is not big, everyone sits in a circle and the space is cramped, Xie Yichen has long legs, he didn't sit on the soft cushion, but found a low stool from the corner, and barely placed himself.

Lin Shuyu gave him the playing cards, Xie Yichen took them, and opened them quite skillfully.

What they want to play is a variant of Depo, the six of them have played it a few times before, plus Xu Zhuo and Shen Qing have also been in contact, Xie Yichen simply introduced the rules to Ning Sui and Hu Keer.

“…… You can follow or discard, fold is called fold, and then there is call and raise, we don't have chips here, so we use the small program instead. ”

Xie Yichen spoke concisely and clearly, and the rules were not difficult to understand, but Hu Keer still didn't understand, Xu Zhuo said: "It's okay, you just follow along." Or we'll count one in the first round. ”

Ning Sui hadn't played before, Lin Shuyu suddenly found a new idea, and looked at her volunteeringly: "Then let's go together, okay?" I'll take you. ”

Ning Sui thinks that this kind of play should have something to do with mathematics, which is quite interesting, but you can also observe two rounds first.

She raised her eyes thoughtfully, but her gaze was inadvertently staggered, and she saw Xie Yichen shuffling the cards with his eyes down.

He had slender palms and wrists, and wore a dark black mechanical watch on his wrist, which made his complexion cold white. The muscles and veins on the forearm are superficial, and the texture is tight and distinct.

It's just that the light-colored lips don't have any curvature, and the expression looks lighter.

Ning Sui pursed his lower lip and nodded: "Oh, okay." ”

So I tried it out.

In the first few rounds, everyone was indistinguishable, but it can be seen that Xie Yichen is really good at playing, and he has won more and more chips. Especially as Lin Shuyu's next family, he doesn't follow him every time, and he has to raise his bets, which is very mentality.

Another game, in anti-clockwise order, after a few rounds, everyone almost folded, choosing to watch the game, and in the end only Zhao Yingyao, Ning Sui and Lin Shuyu, and Xie Yichen were left on the field.

Lin Shuyu is actually a bit fat in this round, but De Po is just to act, overwhelm the other party in momentum, he proudly pushed three hundred out: "Plus!" ”

Ning Sui observed Xie Yichen looking at the cards in his hand and knew that he was calculating the probability.

After a while, he slowly hooked his lower lip: "Then I'll double it." ”

"No, sir." Lin Shuyu glanced at the cards in the pool, and couldn't hold his breath, "Do you have a flush?" ”

Xie Yichen shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows." ”

“……”

There were already too many chips pressed out in front, and Lin Shuyu was a little distressed about the sunk cost. Ning Sui felt that the odds of winning were not great, and before he could say anything, he saw him gritting his teeth: "Then I'll follow!" ”

Zhao Yingyao saw this posture of wiping guns and stacking fire, and immediately surrendered: "You guys play." ”

In the last round, you can look at the cards directly.

Lin Shuyu felt that Xie Yichen must be a liar, because he played with him before, and this master liked acting, which scared them into a daze.

As a result, this spread out and took a look - good guy, people are not only flushes, but also a straight flush, Lin Shuyu held a sad three-of-a-kind, thinking to himself, who the can beat this.

The beep of the applet and the coins all fell into the winner's bag, and the crisp sound effect was released, and everyone laughed and made a mess.

Zhang Yuge directly opened a bottle of beer and slammed it in front of Lin Shuyu with bad intentions: "Brother Ku is willing to gamble and lose." ”

"Of course, words count." Lin Shuyu picked up the wine bottle and poured it into his mouth.

There was really no ambiguity at all, a whole bottle of beer was swallowed in an instant, and he slammed it on the table, panting with his mouth open.

Just as he was about to rest for a while, Zou Xiao suddenly said, "Since Ning Sui and Brother Shu Yu are on the same team, do you have to be two people?" ”

She said it with her lips curled, as if she was inadvertently simply reminding.

The music was noisy, but it didn't seem abrupt, and Ning Sui heard it.

She felt that blowing a bottle was already a lot, so she thought about it for a while and discussed it with Lin Shuyu: "Then I'll do the rest." ”

"Aren't you allergic to alcohol?"

Ning Sui said, "It's okay to drink a little." ”

Lin Shuyu directly refused: "No, no, no." ”

When he placed the bet just now, he made a lot of decisions, and he should have been punished alone, how could he take her a girl.

Lin Shuyu looked heroic and righteous, turned his head and said to Zhang Yuge: "Open another bottle." ”

"Damn, really?" Zhang Yuge hesitated, and when Lin Shuyu saw this, he directly reached out to get the second bottle.

"Alright, take it easy." Xie Yi held down the bottle suddenly.

Lin Shuyu turned his head to look over.

There was no stalemate, because Xie Yichen didn't let it go at all, and with some strength, he pulled the wine bottle in his palm: "I'll come." ”

Lin Shuyu knew that his brother was considerate of him, but how could there be any reason to drink after winning, and said unhappily: "What are you doing?" ”

"Who doesn't know you can drink." Xie Yichen raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said casually, "Just when I want to try what it's like to blow a bottle, okay?" ”

……

After the takeaway was delivered, everyone entered the Sage Time and feasted.

Beer with lamb sticks is a unique delicacy in the world.

Zhao Yingyao was chatting with Hu Keer at this moment, asking her what she usually likes to do. Xu Zhuo was sandwiched between the two of them, sitting a little back a little, occasionally mixing in a few sentences.

Shen Qing and Sun Hao were also chatting, and Zhang Yuge moved the two lazy sofas upstairs, paralyzed in them, grabbing a leg of mutton in one hand and munching happily.

Xie Yichen sat next to him, didn't eat, and was looking at his phone.

Xie Zhenlin sent him a message just now, as if he finally remembered after so many days that he still had a son wandering away: [How was it going? 】

Xie Yichen replied: [Very good]

He sent a few photos in the past, Xie Zhenlin praised the scenery as good, and said: [I have been busy with the company's D round of financing these days, running around in China, and meeting some investors. When you come back, I'll take you around the company. 】

It's like explaining that there has been no news during this time.

But Xie Yichen has no desire to express himself now: [Hmm]

In fact, he is quite used to it, his father is like this, a workaholic, busy as if he is dying, and he forgets everything.

Xie Zhenlin: [When do you plan to come back?] 】

Xie Yichen: [Unsure, depending on the mood]

Xie Zhenlin is also very accustomed to his unsparing character: [Okay, just remember to come back. Don't forget to prepare something to go to college. 】

Xie Yichen replied that he understood.

He didn't mention the computer, let alone the afternoon text message, and Xie Zhenlin didn't mention it.

The two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding to turn over this article. Xie Yichen put the mobile phone upside down on his lap, leaned on the sofa, and was stunned for a while.

When I looked up again, the original circular formation had long since collapsed, and everyone was sitting around in the living room, chatting in twos and threes.

There was a low cry nearby, Xie Yichen's eyes focused, and he looked over.

Ning Sui was still studying the Depo just now, and reviewed the situation of each round with great interest, but his arm accidentally touched another deck of cards on the table next to him, and the whole thing was scattered on the ground.

It was dark outside, the indoor lights were flickering, her legs were half-kneeling on the cushion, her eyelashes were hanging and picking up cards, and her fair and delicate face looked softer.

Xie Yichen stood up, walked over, squatted down on one knee beside her, and picked up the nearest ace of spades.

Ning Sui saw that it was him, and straightened up: "Xie Yichen." ”

Xie Yichen hummed, helped her put the cards on the ground together, lowered his head and asked, "How did you feel about playing Poker just now?" ”

"It's kind of interesting." Ning Sui paused, she felt that Lin Shuyu was very good, but she was a technical rookie, but she was embarrassed to say it, but Xie Yichen glanced at her, as if she knew what she was thinking, and said slowly, "Do you want to change teammates?" ”

“……”

The light is a little dim, the eyebrows and eyes are well-defined, and the bridge of the nose is straight.

The wall lamp shook for a moment, and Ning Sui's fingertips involuntarily clenched the card, and said, "You have a good amount of wine." ”

"Okay." Xie Yichen replied nonchalantly.

Ning Sui observed that he had drunk a total of three bottles tonight, and although he was stained with a little bit of alcohol, his eyes were still clear at the moment, and he did not appear drunk.

"In the past, when guests came to the house, my dad gave me liquor." That's how I practiced it at that time.

Saying that, Xie Yichen looked at her: "Are you allergic to alcohol?" ”

Ning Sui suddenly had a feeling that he couldn't say it.

Looking at his expression, it was as if he knew it wasn't.

Ning Sui hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "No, it's my mother who doesn't want me to drink." ”

"What about yourself?"

"Myself?" She tilted her head and said honestly, "It doesn't taste very good." ”

Xie Yichen sat down next to him, and Ning Sui heard him laugh in a low voice, and his breath couldn't help but hold his breath for a moment.

- Choosing not to drink it because you don't think it tastes good is not the same thing as not being allowed to try it at all. Ning Sui thought to himself, he should be able to understand, right?

She took a clean, empty glass and poured beer inside.

I took a sip, felt the bubbles slowly dissolve on the tip of my tongue, and listened to him say: "Actually, I don't think it tastes good, but sometimes with everyone, I feel that I can't drink it." ”

Ning Sui was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but bend his lips: "My dad also said that this drink is the atmosphere." ”

Xie Yichen smiled, took the remaining half bottle, and touched the cup with her.

His posture was casual, and there was a crisp sound of "dang" in the air, and Ning Sui suddenly had the psychology of sharing some secret with him.

As he was talking, a few faint cicadas sounded outside the window.

Half of the balcony window is not closed, the indoor fan is blowing, and the Bluetooth speaker is flashing colorful lights.

Everyone was slumped in the living room, and the sweltering and humid summer night seemed to sneak in at this moment, becoming more and more bustling.

Ning Sui felt hot, looked around for a moment, and took out the small bottle of wind oil essence in his pocket.

The cool liquid coated the temples, as if I was back in some evening self-study when I accidentally fell asleep, rubbing my eyes and waking up, my cheeks against the slightly cool tabletop, and the soft blue curtains gently brushed through.

The teacher was writing on the blackboard one by one, and the sound of the lecture came from far away.

She was in a trance for a moment.

Lin Shuyu had already fallen asleep with his eyelids drooping on the side, but then he suddenly sat up and excitedly proposed: "Have you rested enough?" Get up, let's play Truth or Dare! ”

In order to pick up the cards just now, Xie Yichen happened to be next to Ning Sui, and he didn't move when he heard the words.

As soon as they heard this, they slowly got up one by two, and regardless of the "bones" piled up with leg of mutton on the coffee table, they sat in a circle again without paying attention to it.
