Chapter 38 Who is your cousin?
Yu Xingtu listened, and stopped what he was doing, glanced at the man beside him, thought for a while, and then said—
"It's Boss Huang next door. Anyway, I have time. Why don't you go and have a look. I have a good relationship with my mother."
Before Lu Zhaoting could react, he heard her responding to the outside.
"Wait two minutes, I'll be right there!"
"okay!"
The woman responded.
Yu Xingtu took the jacket on the side and handed it to Lu Zhaoting, looking at it in his starry eyes, he seemed a little more peaceful. Seeing his silence, he explained——
"The nightlife here is monotonous, unlike your various luxury clubs and receptions. After we close the stalls here, we usually play mahjong until the early morning, then eat some supper, go back to sleep, and open the door at ten o'clock the next morning for business. Life is relatively ordinary, I don't have much fighting spirit, if you don't like it, you can watch TV at home by yourself, I'm next door..."
"It's okay, I'll accompany you to have a look."
Lu Zhaoting took the coat and put it on his shoulders.
Yu Xingtu was a little surprised when he heard this, thinking that he was too lazy to play with ordinary people like them, but it's good to be able to do as the Romans do.
"That's fine, you can enjoy the fire over there, take your tablet, and watch TV news if you're bored."
As he spoke, he also took out a pack of Fu Rong Wang from the counter and handed it to him.
Lu Zhaoting was startled, the streamer in his black eyes suddenly became a little deep, and he looked at her fixedly.
"Some of them smoke, ordinary people pay attention to this..."
Lu Zhaoting: …
He understood that she was reminding him to smoke.
Was she worried that he would embarrass him?
Taking a breath, he stretched out his hand and pressed it back. There was a hint of coolness in his deep voice, "I have."
He never smoked such low-grade cigarettes.
Yu Xingtu raised his eyebrows as he listened, and he could naturally catch the helplessness in his eyes. After thinking about it for a while, he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, this is the best one here. I didn’t buy any, I’ll get you some Greater China or imported ones next time I have a chance.”
"Need not."
He replied these two words helplessly.
"Why are you being polite? No one will wrong you if you are wronged."
She glanced at him indifferently, took a pack of throat lozenges, and turned around to find the key to close the door.
…
It is still a little cold at night, and the street lights in the alley are a little dim, very quiet.
The one who opened the table was indeed in the backyard next door. This side seems to be more transparent, the lights are very bright, and the charcoal fire is burning vigorously in the brazier beside it.
Yu Xingtu led Lu Zhaoting in. At this moment, there were three people around the mahjong table. A middle-aged woman was probably the one who called Yu Xingtu outside just now. The other two middle-aged uncles looked very different. Pretty peaceful.
There is also a man and a woman who are warming up by the fire. They look quite young, but they don't seem to be familiar with Yu Xingtu.
"Boss Yu... is here, hey, this is..."
When they saw Lu Zhaoting who was following behind Yu Xingtu, their eyes froze—
This man is extravagant and imposing, yet so cold and handsome.
"Oh, he is my cousin who lives nearby, and he will come over to help me if there is nothing to do on weekdays."
Women don't need to type drafts when they lie.
Face is not red, heart is not beating...
cousin?
As soon as Lu Zhaoting heard the woman's introduction, his bottomless eyes fell silent for a moment, and he squinted at her. His eyes looked a little cold—
"Who is your cousin?"
A low voice suddenly came to my ears, it was cool and faint.
Yu Xingtu listened, but was startled for a moment, raised her exquisite eyebrows, and looked at him with some surprise, and sure enough, he saw that his face was not very good-looking.
Lu Zhaoting: …
He believed her a ghost!
At this time, several people also greeted him.
At this moment, Yu Xingtu also sat down on the empty seat beside her, while Lu Zhaoting quietly stood behind her and watched.
Soon, Lu Zhaoting saw that she had already started to move skillfully. When she took a card, she didn't need to look at it. She knew what card was right by touching it with her finger, and immediately released it.
The old driver on the mahjong table!
After two rounds in a row...
"Eight!"
"bar—"
Yu Xingtu said so, and reached out to draw a card.
"Boss Yu, I'm lucky tonight, it's a good start."
The uncle sitting next to him smiled, took the cigarette pack on the side, the two of them handed it over, and also handed one to Yu Xingtu.
——
Subconsciously raised his head to look at Lu Zhaoting, what met him was his sea-like silent eyes.
She froze for a moment, then quickly withdrew her gaze, took a breath, withdrew her hand, tapped the table lightly, and the uncle would take it back with satisfaction.
have to!
Eat, drink, gamble, smoke, master everything...
Typical **** style!
Fortunately, they haven't smoked in front of him yet.
is quite restrained!
…
After a few rounds, Yu Xingtu quickly gave up.
It’s not a big deal, ten yuan, but according to their method of catching yards, the amount can be doubled several times in one round, and the amount is not small compared to them.
Yu Xingtu quickly collected the money, took three bills and handed them to the young man at the side.
"Boss Yu is prosperous!"
As he spoke, the young man quickly took the money and went out directly.
Lu Zhaoting understood—
It should be the so-called water pumping, venue fee and tea fee...
Sure enough, after a while, after three rounds, the young man came back with a big bag of packed sugar water and small oranges, one for each, and a small box of mineral water...
"Drink some, their sugar water is good, especially the horseshoe corn syrup."
Yu Xingtu took a bowl over, opened it directly, and handed it to him with an elegant and gentle look.
Lu Zhaoting frowned, and said in a deep voice, "No need."
"Then eat some oranges and go back to rest if you are tired."
As she spoke, she grabbed a handful of small oranges and put them in his hand.
This is…
Want to send him back?
Lu Zhaoting was stunned for a moment, looked down at the small citrus stuffed in his hand, a trace of complexity filled his silent eyes, and felt powerless again, was there something wrong between them, he felt uncomfortable all over—
This shouldn't be what she said to him at all, but what he said and did to her, that's right!
Yu Xingtu, who has always been very sensitive, also felt that the man's mood seemed not very good, and her deep eyes looked a little cold. After thinking about it, she put the cards in her hand and looked up at him. —
"Would you like a handful?"
Lu Zhaoting gave her a meaningful sideways glance at this moment, and said in a low voice, "I'm extremely happy."
Yu Xingtu stood up very freely, took the horseshoe syrup and stood aside, giving him the seat.
