Meeting is doomed, falling in love is doomed

Chapter 19

The first time Xu Tong saw Gu Chen, his heart seemed to tighten; however, he relaxed again in just an instant.

What should come will always come; what should come has finally come.

Gu Chen walked to the mahjong table and stood still; Xu Tong winked at the card player sitting opposite, and that person stood up immediately, and Gu Chen sat down instead.

Xu Tong was still a little bit upset at first, seeing that Gu Chen was always smiling, and there was no haze and hostility on his face—although she knew that his peace at the moment was just an illusion, and his real emotions and intentions had not been revealed—but she still quietly Steady mind.

What's the big deal?It's just a trick.

Sitting on the chair, Gu Chen slowly turned his head, his eyes wandered 180 degrees, from this room to the next room, and then slowly turned his face, looked at Xu Tong, nodded and said: " That’s how it is, no wonder you have thin calluses on your palms, and you believed that you were tired of hard work, but you didn’t expect that you should actually hold the pole!” After a pause, he stretched out his hand to pick up a mahjong tile from the table, while casually playing with it , and said with a slight smile: "I thought you were the reincarnation of a lucky star, and you only win but not lose in playing cards; I didn't expect that you are actually pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!"

He narrowed his eyes while talking, and when his smile gradually disappeared, he stared at her intently, with deep eyes, dark eyes, and an extraordinary handsome face, refusing to reveal half of his true emotions.

After a while, his voice rose faintly again, "That's right, I have been drunk in the mahjong parlor all year round, so I must be a master player of cards. How could I lose if I get on the table of ordinary people? Do you think so, Yaoyao !"

The word "Yaoyao" flowed out of his mouth, and when people listened to it, they seemed to be able to feel the lingering taste of the lingering sound.

Xu Tong blinked, and smiled at Gu Chen, "Where is it, let Gu Shao laugh! Gu Shao, we haven't seen each other for a long time; since we're here, why don't we play a few laps together!" She remained calm He said with a smile.

Gu Chen nodded, smiling playfully, "That's exactly what I mean!"

Xu Tong pushed down the wall of cards in front of him, and together with the other two cards, they reshuffled them.

At this time, I heard Gu Chen say: "It's rare to have a chance to compete with a master, so it's better to play a dark card; save some time, win or lose in one game, and the winner decides what to bet on in the end."

Xu Tong smiled and nodded, and readily agreed: "Okay! You are a guest, so I will listen to you!" Turning around, he told Erhua, "Go and call Guan Ge Mumu, and play the hidden cards with Gu Shao." When he turned around, he did not forget Explain to Gu Chen with a smile: "Guan Ge and Mu Mu are the masters of playing hidden cards in our mahjong parlor; since they are playing cards with Gu Shao, of course we must find the best match!"

After playing for so many years, mahjong has long been like her relatives. She is confident that no matter how she plays, she will definitely win Gu Chen.

Gu Chen smiled happily, "It's an honor to have this special treatment!" He leaned forward slightly, clasped his hands on the card table, his eyes were fixed on Xu Tong, although his lips were still curled up. , but the smile already has a deep meaning, "This is really a good place, lively, enjoyable, casual, come here often to relax, maybe you can be reborn and turn yourself into another person, don't you think so, Yaoyao?"

Xu Tong smiled generously, and answered him: "Young Master Gu laughed, if you like, feel free to come here often, welcome anytime, and I will treat you as a guest of honor!"

Laoguan Mumu was already in place, Xu Tong turned his head and told Erhua who was standing aside to watch the fun, "Don't stand around with this idiot, go make a pot of good tea for Gu Shaorun's throat!" With a smile on his cheeks, His eyes were sharp, as if he was blaming himself for his lack of vision.

Erhua still stood there in a daze, unmoved.Xu Tong couldn't bear it any longer, quietly pulled out his foot that was hidden under the table, and quickly greeted his calf.

Erhua pursed her mouth in aggrieved face, innocently as if she didn't know why she was kicked; Xu Tong took a long breath impatiently, restraining the urge to touch her forehead, turned her head, and looked back at Chen's face superior.Before she could speak, she suddenly found that he was staring at her with raised eyebrows, his expression focused.

Xu Tong immediately smiled brightly at him, "Erhua is too cheap, slow to respond, and a little blunt, kicking him once in a while will help him grow and improve!" While talking, Lao Guan immediately understood and looked up. He kicked Erhua with his foot, and said in agreement: "No, this kid just needs a kick! I said, why are you still standing here in a daze, didn't you hear that Sister Tong asked you to make tea? Hurry up!"

Full of misery and grievances, Erhua turned around to make tea.

Gu Chen laughed twice, "I don't understand girls in China more and more now. At first glance, they are all gentle, but after getting along with each other, I find that everyone seems to be able to transform. Either they speak inappropriately, or their words and deeds are vulgar. Unbearable, or—" He paused, locked his gaze on Xu Tong's face tightly, his eyes were deep, and he continued with a smile, "—too sturdier!" His voice was soft, his tone was natural, but his tone was full of Thick banter and mockery.

Xu Tong smiled and said, "Young Master Gu feels a little cheated and fooled?" She raised her eyebrows like him, and the expression on her face was as playful and cute as a little girl in an instant, "If Young Master Gu can think like this—— The gentleness of the girls is different from the past. The gentleness of the past is nature, but the gentleness of the present is like rouge and lipstick. For girls, it is just an ornament. Then take it out and stick it on your face to make yourself more charming. Beauty is a woman's nature, and a woman finds ways to make herself more beautiful. I really don't think it's a sin—if you think about it this way, I wonder if Young Master Gu still feels cheated?"

Gu Chen rolled his eyes, and his eyes seemed to flash with fluorescence, shining brightly, "You can turn a black point into a white point, and disguise a hypocrisy into a right, Yaoyao, I never thought you have such a good eloquence!" He lowered his eyes a little, squeezed the light from his pupils, and said flatly: "If one day all the girls become like you said, I'm afraid men would rather become monks than marry a wife who doesn't look the same."

Xu Tong had an innocent smile on his face, but he didn't give in at all, "But doesn't Mr. Gu think it's fun to be one person with thousands of faces? I think it's better than the monotonous openness of a foreign girl— ——How can she be frank with you, she can do the same with others!"

Her words are clear and crisp, and her expression is bright and pretty.He looked at her various appearances that were completely different from those in the past, and felt that he was meeting her for the first time, strange and fresh.

The corners of his mouth turned up again unknowingly, filled with increasingly intense interest.

The four people in front of the card table clattered and stacked the cards together, each of them was skillful, and the cards were neatly stacked in a few moments. The process was extremely short, and the fingers were flying. The scene was really beautiful.

Gu Chen asked with a smile: "How do you play the hidden cards here? What's the point?"

Xu Tong replied: "There is nothing special about Hu, the general public play; the dark is all dark, from catching to playing until calling Hu, once the card is buckled to the end, no one is allowed to open it to see; drawing cards depends on touching but not seeing, what do you have?" According to memory, whoever plays what card is called out, and the card is buckled in front of his door, so that it is convenient for someone to check whether he has made a mistake after playing the card; after the call is called, the card is checked, and the recording is made at the beginning of the game. The cards are judged by the recording; if someone has a wrong card, if the person misremembers the card, it is considered a bluff, and if he does not double, he can only pay the three players the original amount; One wrong card, two wrong chapters and two times, add up sequentially; also, the old street is played differently from other places in City A, so it can be cut off."

Gu Chen nodded, and said again: "I'm not used to too many people when playing dark cards, why don't you tell everyone else to go out." The tone was relaxed and casual, but the request was very domineering.

Usually, if another guest made such a request, someone would have already rushed over by kicking the table and chairs.Today, no one came forward.One is that whoever Xu Tong greets with such a polite and smiling face is definitely not easy to mess with; the other is that today's guest is a bit different, although he smiled gently at everyone, under the smile, there seemed to be something in his bones. Exuding an air of indifference and majesty, people dare not easily disobey and violate his request.

Xu Tong vaguely heard someone whispering beside him: "In ancient times, he might be called the emperor's spirit, right?"

Hearing this, she almost couldn't help laughing.Unexpectedly, in the boundary of the three religions and nine streams, there are still people who can say such a polite word.

She blinked her eyes, nodded to Gu Chen and said, "Okay, I'll rely on Young Master Gu!" Turning her head, she gave orders to Erhua who was serving tea and had no time to put it down, "Let's put the tea there, you go to clear the place, Tell everyone that I am really embarrassed today, let them come back tomorrow, and then the audience will be free to let them play as long as they like!" After explaining, I don't forget to add solemnly, "Erhua, remember , Get rid of yourself too! Don’t run back after everyone’s gone out, you know!”

Erhua seemed to be more aggrieved and aggrieved, dawdling to bargain and want to stay and watch the match, but was kicked away impatiently by Xu Tong.

After finally removing Erhua's sticky cake, when she turned her head and raised her eyes, Xu Tong clearly saw that the brows of Gu Chen raised her eyebrows again.

She looked at his domineering eyebrows, and really wanted to ask him: Why do you make such a fuss and stare at people?Have you never seen a beautiful woman, or have you never seen a beautiful woman who is tough?
