Seeing that the two of them had really treated her as a driver and were happily chatting, Hua Linglong became a little unhappy.
"We agreed to come out and play, but you two are actually... studying and sponsoring each other..."
Hearing Hua Linglong's words, Qiu Xi and Ni Xue exchanged a smile.
This Linglong really couldn't stay idle for a moment.
As they thought this, Qiu Xi spoke first, "Linglong, we two are unfortunate companions, preparing to undergo tribulations together!"
"That's right, we wouldn't dare neglect our beautiful Hua!" Ni Xue followed Qiu Xi, also joking.
"Hmph~"
"Then I will... reluctantly forgive you."
"Thank you, beauty!"
"Beauty is generous!"
...
"Linglong, we've been walking for half the day, and you brought us here?"
Looking at the five big characters "Happy Chess and Card Room" before them, the two were stunned at the entrance.
They had originally thought that by handing this matter over to Hua Linglong, they could slack off.
Who knew that after not meeting for just a year, this person's interests had directly shifted from youth to old age.
"Is it not okay?"
"Do you think it's okay?"
Qiu Xi couldn't understand how someone who wanted to go to the arcade with her in their freshman year would now bring her to a chess and card room after such a short time.
Were they going inside to play chess with grandfathers, or mahjong with grandmothers?
Tangtang wasn't back this year, and with only the three of them, it was better to go back and play Dou Dizhu than come here!
"I think it's great!"
Excitedly, Hua Linglong dragged the two and enthusiastically boasted about her achievements over the past year.
"..."
After listening, the two were speechless again.
It turned out that at some point, a "demonic wind" had suddenly swept through the dormitory building where Hua Linglong lived last semester.
It had quickly become popular in the surrounding dormitories, and when they had nothing to do, they could play happily by playing across buildings or up and down stairs.
Thus, for a period of time, everyone's entertainment shifted from mobile games to small mahjong in chess and card rooms.
For this reason, Hua Linglong and her roommates pooled money to buy a set of small mahjong, pitifully small, with each tile only about 2 centimeters long.
It had actually turned someone who was so pitiful at losing even cat fishing while playing cards into a "master."
"Linglong, listen to your sisters, why don't we change places?"
After hearing her dear sister's glorious deeds, Ni Xue became even more unwilling to go in.
She was afraid that this person would get too engrossed in the game.
Nothing else mattered, she was just afraid of a bad teammate who was both bad and loved to play, and couldn't be pulled away when going crazy.
"No way!"
"Since we're here, we have to go in and play for a while today."
After finally luring them here, how could they leave without playing?
Impossible!
"Is there no room for negotiation?" Qiu Xi struggled a bit more.
"No!"
"Not even a door, let alone a window."
"Let's go! Hurry up and go in, or there won't be any seats soon."
Saying this, Hua Linglong ignored their current feelings and dragged them inside.
It wasn't entirely old ladies and old men in this proper high-end chess and card room; rather, there were quite a few young people relaxing during their holiday break.
"We need one more, anyone available?"
It was quite a coincidence, as soon as they entered, they heard a very loud "Need one more."
"We're just in time! Others are three missing one, but we are one missing three."
"It looks like this was prepared specifically for the three of us, let's go!"
"Buddy, is it okay for us three?"
"..."
As expected! Hua Linglong was best at calling people brother.
After all this time, this was the only thing that hadn't changed, and it was even trending upwards.
"Of course, it's better to arrive early than to arrive by chance. Ladies, please take a seat."
The person speaking was a handsome young man with neat short hair, a pair of phoenix eyes, and a well-defined face, truly a pleasure to behold.
Although the words sounded a bit roguish, his eyes were very serious, and he must have come from a good family.
If nothing else, just from what Qiu Xi had seen, the pair of shoes on his feet and the watch on his wrist alone indicated millions of dollars. Kan shu wu. ξà
She just didn't know why he would come to such a chess and card room for entertainment.
Qiu Xi, still hesitating, didn't realize that the young lady who brought her here was also dressed impeccably.
And herself and Ni Xue, weren't they all here now too.
"You two, stop being stunned and sit down quickly, we're about to start."
"Okay!"
Today, they would just have to accompany her as a favor.
"Come on, deal."
...
"Buddy, what's your name?"
"..."
As expected of Hua Linglong, truly a witness to social phobia! Her social skills were top-notch.
"Hmm... Bai Yixuan."
The person who was still intently looking at the cards paused for a moment before replying.
"Ooh! One of the bamboo!"
"Good name."
"And you, what's your name?"
"Hua Linglong."
"A caterpillar..."
"Yes! Yours is good too."
"..."
Watching the two of them play and chat, looking quite serious, Qiu Xi and Ni Xue found it somewhat magical.
...
However, after playing a few rounds, they didn't think so anymore.
Were these two actually in cahoots?!!
Look at their skill at making invalid hands, their ability to trigger each other's wins, this was truly not something ordinary people could learn.
"Xiao Xuehua..."
As they played, Qiu Xi began signaling to Ni Xue.
It wasn't that she wanted to desert, but these two guys were truly too much of a liability.
Fortunately, it was for entertainment, and they all knew each other, otherwise, they would have lost their shirts by now.
No wonder people used to say that only wealthy families could afford to play this.
"Linglong, since I and Xiao Xuehua are going to take a break, can you let the two people who just came in substitute?"
"Of course! No problem."
Hua Linglong, who was engrossed in playing, didn't think carefully about her sisters' intentions at all. She was still discussing card skills with her newfound brother.
...
"Phew! Finally, we can rest."
"Yeah, Linglong is too much of a player."
"She can play but doesn't know how, and she loves to play! I see it now, that Bai Yixuan is exactly the same as her."
"Otherwise, he wouldn't be here needing one more!"
"Alright, I'll wander around here, you go ahead?"
"Yeah, let's go together."
Saying this, Qiu Xi and Ni Xue wandered around the chess and card room. When they saw the chess sets, they remembered that they still had this skill.
So, without thinking too much, they walked over, ready to see how everyone played.
"Xiao Xi, are you going?"
Qiu Xi glanced at Ni Xue beside her, "Yes, aren't you?"
"Why don't you go back first?"
"Then forget it, I'll go with you to watch."
Although she really didn't understand chess much, at the moment, this was at least a little better than going back to watch Hua Linglong play mahjong.
"Let's go."
