Wei Junshan numbly picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
But he really blamed the wrong person.
After all, it was not Lu Mingshi who took the initiative to start this performance on stage today. But rather, it was his former target of pursuing.
Of course, Gu Yixin was exceptionally good at kissing. So Lu Mingshi had no choice but to respond to him enthusiastically, and then he kept using his eyes to hint that he should pay attention to the occasion.
PDA1Public Display of Affection can easily draw hatred.
God knows how many potential love rivals are present there. And they don’t distinguish between what is mine and yours.
Gu Yixin obviously couldn’t understand Lu Mingshi’s hinting eyes. He just thought that his eyelids were twitching.
Wei Junshan really couldn’t stand it anymore.
And to one’s surprise, he raised his neck and his two hands solemnly and tragically.
Mr. Wei took the lead and started clapping!
Didn’t you just want applause? Didn’t you just want blessings? Whatever. You won, ok? I am applauding you guys. Please stop for me. My eyes are really going blind.
As we all know, when you want to prevent others from making out in front of your eyes, you need to applaud them.
That will not only make them aware of your existence, but it will also show them your openness, and remind them to make sure to not go overboard.
And when a person of high status suddenly starts to applaud, the venue often quickly resounds with thunderous applause.
Therefore, in this festive atmosphere, Gu Yixin finally realized that it was inappropriate to do so.
He secretly said to Lu Mingshi.
“We seem to have robbed Jiu Jin’s limelight. This is not good.”
After all, today is the big day of comrade Lu Jiu Jin. So we should focus on the baby.
As a matter of fact, Mr. Little Lu was lying in the middle of the cushion, and waving his hands resentfully.
When Wei Junshan gave up and took the lead in clapping, An Luoyu couldn’t help but applaud the beautiful romance in front of him.
And then he found that his new dad wasn’t clapping, so he had to stop tactfully.
The Gambling King wondered: Then what about the little lover? Does Lu Mingshi really plan to marry this person?
The gambler was in a very bad mood, and he lost his appetite.
But he couldn’t help but eat. Because the gambler had a bad stomach. If he didn’t eat on time, his stomach trouble would flare up.
When ordinary people have no appetite but still have to eat, they will get themselves two plates of pickled vegetables, fermented bean curd, Lao Gan Ma2Lao Gan Ma or Old Godmother is a brand of chili sauce made in China., spicy cabbage bibimbap sauce, or something.
But the reason why the Gambling King is the Gambling King is naturally because he is the best gambler.
So when he didn’t have an appetite, he wanted to gamble to add to the fun.
The gambler looked at the guests who were sitting at the same table as him. He smiled naturally and said, “The dishes are not finished yet. How about we play a round of gambling as a pastime?”
The guests knew that the Gambling King had a gambling addiction but they were a bit hesitant. Since the Gambling King came to the Lu family’s full moon banquet, it could be seen that the Gambling King and the Lu family have some friendship.
The people who were sitting at the same table as the Gambling King were representatives of different aristocratic families. Originally they were either jealous, admiring, or wanted to make friends with the Gambling King. So they were naturally unwilling to dispel his good mood.
Seeing that everyone had no objection, the Gambling King asked his entourage to clear the table.
A young friend boldly pointed out, “But Mr. Gambling King, we don’t have the equipment for gambling. ”
It just so happened that at this moment, Lu Mingshi walked down to the tables and passed by the Gambling King.
The Gambling King immediately grabbed Lu Mingshi’s wrist.
“Lu, my boy…” He said with a smile, “Can you give us a deck of poker for entertainment?”
Lu Mingshi’s face became a bit stiff. He thought to himself: Don’t you know that laozi3father / daddy / “I, your father” (in anger, or out of contempt) / I (used arrogantly or jocularly) hate gambling? He still came up with this thing in my son’s full moon banquet.
However, what the opponent asked for was clearly only a deck of poker. It was impossible for him to raise issues from a deck of poker to gambling and refute in the face of the guest.
He must also carefully consider the weightage of the Gambling King.
Lu Mingshi thought about this and politely said that he would get someone to bring a deck soon.
Lu Mingshi asked casually, “Does Mr. Gambling King have any other requests?”
In all honesty, he was just being polite.
The Gambling King immediately said that he really had one more request.
“Mr. Lu, sit down to play one round. Just one round.”
Lu Mingshi felt very touched.
But then he refused.
“I don’t know how to play cards, Mr. Gambling King.” Lu Mingshi said.
The Gambling King’s face was full of disbelief.
Gu Yixin also happened to be passing by there at this time. Lu Mingshi was struck by a brainwave4a bright idea suddenly occurs (idiom); to hit upon an inspiration / to be struck by a brainwave and he grabbed Gu Yixin’s hand.
“Mr. Gambling King, I really cannot play it and I am really busy now.” Lu Mingshi politely said, “But if you must, I can let my lover play a game with you.” As he said, he pushed forward Gu Yixin who was standing behind his back.
Gu Yixin lost his head out of fear5To panic a lot, “I really can’t play cards…”
Lu Mingshi gently said softly, “It doesn’t matter if you lose. It’s normal to lose when playing cards with Mr. Gambling King.”
Gu Yixin became even more flustered when he heard this, “But…”
Lu Mingshi encouraged him loudly, “Go ahead, my dear!”
The Gambling King glanced at Gu Yixin without batting an eyelid6not a word or movement (idiom); remaining calm and collected / not batting an eyelid and smiled like a fox7fox / fig. sly and treacherous person, “It is just a game. No need to take it seriously.”
Lu Mingshi mercilessly pressed Gu Yixin who was wearing a mournful expression, to sit opposite the Gambling King.
The idlers on this table took the opportunity to tactfully leave the table. Now those who remained were the Gambling King, Gu Yixin, and two other passersby.
Passerby A and passerby B.
An Luoyu obediently watched the battle from the sidelines.
The three Wei, Lin, and Hei also noticed the situation here.
“No way.” Lin Rui felt it to be unexpected and said, “Mr. Lu actually asked Young Master Gu to play cards with the Gambling King?”
This was not in line with Lu Mingshi’s personality.
You will definitely lose if you play cards with the Gambling King.
Lu Mingshi didn’t want to lose. So in fear of losing face8to be humiliated, he allowed Gu Yixin to lose?
Hei Che looked at An Luoyu with tenderness in his eyes, “An An is there. Should I go over to say hello?”
Lin Rui became very familiar with Hei Che after getting along with him in the past two months. He knew about his little thoughts from a long time ago and immediately said, “He didn’t even look at you when he was just a small star. Now that he has a cheap father9A dad who recognized the son after a lot of years like the Gambling King, will he still care about you?”
The rim of Hei Che’s eyes silently got red as if he met with a collision.
“An An, An An is not that kind of a person.”
Lin Rui poured Hei Che a glass of wine to console him, “Drink this cup, and then any An Luoyu or Wei Qiyun will bow down under your suit pants.”
Hei Che took the wine and asked skeptically, “Really? ”
“Really.” Lin Rui said very sincerely.
Hei Che gave a bitter smile and drank the wine.
Then he fell down on the dining table with a bang, bringing down a plate along with him.
Lin Rui told the entourages who rushed over, that Hei Che was drunk and asked them to take him away to have a rest.
Wei Junshan groaned, feeling uncomfortable with this mischievous habit of Lin Rui.
“Why do you always tease people?”
Lin Rui shrugged his shoulders, “I didn’t lie to him. When you fall asleep, you will naturally be accompanied by a beauty.”
He patted Hei Che whose snores shook the heaven, “Isn’t it? There is everything in dreams.”
Hei Che stopped snoring by this pat and started giggling.
“An An,hehehe……”
Lin Rui spread his hands, “Look. ”
We Junshan:……
On this side, Gu Yixin and the Gambling King had already started their first round.
