Qin Yuan stood there, apparently having showered and changed into short-sleeved beige home wear. The texture couldn’t be seen clearly, but it felt extremely drapery and finely tailored. It didn’t fit in with the messy corridor full of big underpants and small tank tops.
When everyone thought that he would coldly reject it, he unexpectedly nodded and stepped into Bai Jing’s dorm.
He stood beside the desk and quietly stared at the boy opposite Ruan Qingmu without saying anything.
The boy stared at him for a long time with widened eyes before finally coming to his senses. “… Okay. Boss, please have a seat!”
He got up quickly, looked at Qin Yuan’s spotless clothes, and frantically wiped the seat in front of him.
Fu Songhua held an exercise book in the doorway while bitterly watching the class monitor’s back.
Huhu, didn’t he say he wanted to compare the homework’s answers? Why would he go to the fourth floor to play cards?
Bai jing warily sat at the card table while looking at the grade’s boss. “Can… can you play guandan?”
Qin Yuan shook his head and his gentle eyes gleamed. “No.”
Bai Jing and his partner cursed bitterly in their hearts: What the hell! They just finished explaining the rules to a novice. Did they have to re-explain everything again?
They wanted to ask for a replacement but seeing the top student’s earnest eyes, they didn’t dare say it out loud.
Bai Jing couldn’t do anything and simply explained the rules once again. He then restarted distributing the cards. “Here, here, let’s learn while playing. Friendship comes first. Show some mercy.”
He intended to tell his partner to show some mercy to these two bosses. It would be meaningless to win too much against the newbies. But unexpectedly, Ruan Qingmu took over the conversation and said casually, “Mm. Since this is the first time I will be playing, I will yield to you guys.”
Qin Yuan slightly raised his narrow, sharp phoenix brows, earnestly looked at him, and nodded his head. “Not bad.”
Bai Jing and his partner: “…”
If it weren’t because of the fact that no one dared to provoke these two people – anyone dared to say something like this at the card table would usually be beaten to death alive!
Sure enough, these two bosses were indeed novices and had never played something like guandan. They would slowly take out their cards in the first game and sometimes even stop to confirm the rules again.
Bai Jing and his partner moved up three levels in the second game and went straight to 5.
Further later, the two big bosses were much faster in taking out cards and even won once, barely catching up to 3.
They made a headwind and overtook it to 5 in the next game.
When the next round of cards was distributed, Ruan Qingmu finished grabbing the cards and hastily swept a glance at them. He then looked at Qin Yuan and gave him a weird smile. “Shall we begin?”
The opposite cold top student knitted his brows and closed the cards in his hand with his long fingers. He replied in tacit agreement, “Mm, okay.”
From then on, Bai Jing and his partner went crazy.
They never got past the digit 8 until these two bosses got Kings.
“Fuck, what kind of luck did you guys have? Why did you have 3 with 2 and he had one too? Why could you accept it whenever he came out with a card?!” Bai Jing shouted.
His partner lifted his leg on his seat while frantically shuffling the cards. “I don’t believe they will keep on being lucky. What the hell?!”
In dissatisfaction, the foul language that he would usually never dare curse at the boss also burst out.
Ruan Qingmu rolled his sleeves and looked at him shuffling the cards, lazily saying, “Lucky my ass. It’s because we’re playing well, understand?”
Huang Ya had been standing behind him and looking at the cards. He was a little perplexed but didn’t dare to say anything.
You could say it was luck, but Ruan Qingmu clearly had several ordinary cards in his hand. You could say they played well, but these two were clearly novices and didn’t play cards according to common sense.
It seemed that they somehow just matched up with their partner’s cards and repeatedly succeeded with one lucky stroke after another!
The hell! Was this beginner’s luck?
In the last game, the two bosses had Aces as their latest attack. Looking at Ruan Qingmu’s cards, Huang Ya repeatedly shook his head. “Tch, you’re dead.”
These cards in his hand were so bad that the rest couldn’t do anything except for a small set of bombs. It was almost hopeless to take out any cards. They might as well go along with the preceding Bai Jing and sneakily leave with a small card.
“Hey, hey, hey, this can’t be taken out!” Seeing that Ruan Qingmu was about to take out the set of bombs, Huang Ya was anxious. “Save it. I’m serious. Listen to me!”
In order to help his partner block the attack, why in the world would he take out his strong cards and remain with a set of straights?
Ruan Qingmu seemed not to hear him and casually threw out the four 7s. “Bomb!”
The opposite, Qin Yuan, raised his head and gave him a deep look with some kind of probing in his eyes.
Ruan Qingmu immediately raised his head and also looked at him.
The two people’s gazes parted the second they met, but the people next to them somehow felt a certain odd vibe in their behaviors.
It was as if they exchanged some sort of tacit agreement and agreed upon something that only they could understand.
Continuing, the manner of Qin Yuan taking out cards could be said to be natural and unforced. He fished out one by one, pair by pair of cards under his slender fingers. Reaching the last cards, Fu Songhua also became anxious.
