Guo Xuyang didn't react for a moment, his face flushing slightly. "Thank you, both of you," he said.
He took the chips and, after a brief mental scan, approached a slot machine and inserted the chips, giving it a gentle pat.
Then he moved to another slot machine, inserted chips, and patted it.
The two young girls continued to play their machines, which then erupted with pleasant musical sounds.
The numbers on the slot machines spun rapidly, and then the jackpot symbols appeared.
The other machine also began to chime.
A single machine hitting the jackpot was pure luck. But two machines hitting the jackpot simultaneously was more than just luck.
The crowd naturally surged towards them.
"Girls, that machine is yours. This one is mine. Thank you!" Guo Xuyang said to Xiao Xi.
Xiao Xi was stunned, not quite understanding. She pointed at herself dazedly, "Mine?"
"Yes, yours," Guo Xuyang repeated.
"Oh my god, no way! We're rich..." Xiao Xi stood up, hugged Ran Ran, and jumped for joy. The two girls ran over to the other machine.
"One million! We're rich! Hahaha..."
Guo Xuyang waited for the staff to arrive and collect the chips, then casually strolled upstairs.
After Xiao Xi and her friend completed the paperwork, they looked for Guo Xuyang but found he had already disappeared.
When Wu Youzhi and others arrived upstairs, they found Guo Xuyang holding a few chips, watching people play blackjack.
"Want to play?" Wu Youzhi asked.
"No more. It's too late, let's go back," Guo Xuyang said. "Are they all here?"
"Boss Pi brought a few others upstairs and sent me to find you. Want to join us upstairs to relax?"
"Then you all go. I'm going downstairs to check on the stones again. Just call me when you're leaving."
"Alright. We'll come down to find you later."
When Guo Xuyang arrived downstairs in the room where the raw stones were kept, a few people were still discussing the earlier marvels.
He felt it wasn't appropriate to join them now, so he turned to head back downstairs.
"Hey, handsome, what a coincidence. We were looking for you earlier but couldn't find you," Xiao Xi and Ran Ran said, looking at him with surprise from inside the elevator.
"I just went upstairs for a bit, but there wasn't much to do, so I came back down."
"Upstairs? What's fun up there?"
"You haven't been?"
"No, we can only play games here. We can't go upstairs."
"That's not right. Upstairs is for mahjong, pai gow, poker, and the like. Nothing really interesting. It's good you didn't go."
"What's your last name, handsome?"
"My name is Guo Xuyang."
"Handsome brother? Hehehe." The two girls giggled carefree.
"Why can't you go upstairs?"
"We don't know. We can only play here. Can you take us up to have a look?"
"How old are you? Is it because you're too young that they won't let you go upstairs?"
"It's rude to ask a girl her age, didn't you know?" Xiao Xi said with mock seriousness.
"You're underage, of course, you can't go upstairs."
"You're the one who's underage. We're both over twenty!"
"You don't look it," Guo Xuyang said, glancing at Xiao Xi.
"Hey, where are you looking?" Xiao Xi said, deliberately puffing out her chest.
He hadn't noticed it when they were sitting and playing the slot machines, but now that they were standing, they were quite well-endowed.
Both girls were over 1.7 meters tall.
The girl named Xiao Xi looked endearingly naive with a slightly babyish face, but her figure was well-proportioned. She probably didn't weigh more than fifty kilograms.
Ran Ran, on the other hand, brought to mind the idiom "childlike face, immense bosom," making one fear she might topple over if she bent down.
"What are you thinking about, handsome brother?" Xiao Xi asked.
"Nothing much."
"Where are you going?"
"Nowhere in particular. Just getting some fresh air."
"Come for a drive with us?"
"Aren't you afraid I'm a bad person?"
"No way. If you were a bad person, you would have gone upstairs already," Xiao Xi said, then covered her mouth.
Well, she let that slip.
"Didn't you say you haven't been upstairs?"
"Right, we haven't been upstairs, but that doesn't mean we don't know what's up there."
"Are you lying to me? If I can go up there, why can't you? I heard there are a lot of young girls upstairs. Aren't you girls from upstairs who came down to play?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xiao Xi got angry upon hearing this. "Are we those kinds of people?"
"I'm sorry, my apologies for being presumptuous."
"A simple apology is enough? You have to compensate me for my emotional distress."
"How did you little girls learn to be so unreasonable?"
"I'm just being unreasonable, so what?"
Was he really that easy to bully? Why was it that he could never win an argument with a girl?
"Alright, alright, fine. What do you want me to do?"
"That's more like it. I'll fine you by making you accompany us for a drive tonight."
They say the weather in June changes like a baby's mood, but a woman's mood changes even faster than the June sky, one moment sunny, the next stormy.
"A beautiful lady invites me, and I can't refuse, as long as you're not afraid I'm a bad person."
The three arrived at the parking lot. The girls were driving a red Ferrari, a two-door, four-seater with a short tail.
He wondered why the girls' aesthetic tastes differed from others.
Most people chose Ferraris as supercars, especially young men and women who wanted to express their individuality. The aesthetic of these two girls was truly perplexing.
Guo Xuyang opened the door and got into the back seat.
"Hey, handsome brother, come sit in the front. Why are you sitting in the back?" Xiao Xi said with a smile.
Guo Xuyang had to get out and sit in the passenger seat.
"Ladies, we've known each other for a while, but I still don't know your names?"
"My name is Li Minxi, and this is my best friend, Su Ran," Li Minxi said as she fastened her seatbelt.
"Li Minxi? I've heard of a girl named Li Minyu before, do you know her?" Guo Xuyang asked.
"Li Minyu? That lunatic? She's my sister. What? Do you know her?" Li Minxi asked. "She's a woman who doesn't care about her life when she goes crazy."
"Who talks about their own sister like that?" Guo Xuyang was curious why Li Minxi would say that.
"How do you know her?" Li Minxi asked.
"We don't know each other. A friend of mine mentioned her, saying she knows Li Minyu."
"Oh, I see. My sister works in a special department, so I rarely see her. I used to be bullied by her quite a bit. Let's not talk about her, it makes me angry."
"Let's talk about it. How did she bully you?"
"Why are you so nosy? You're like a woman," she said.
Guo Xuyang was left speechless by her remark.
Indeed, he had been talking too much. Why did he have to bring up Li Minyu? This was just asking for trouble.
Working in a special department, it was best not to invite trouble and pique their interest.
