Chapter 397 Playing Games
The temperature dropped sharply today. Sheng Jingyao, who had just gotten off the plane and rushed over, deliberately shivered in Jiang Zhouzhou's arms while holding her.
In the quiet living room, his whining voice was particularly jarring: "It's so cold in Haishi! Sister, touch my hands, they're so cold."
Gu Nanfeng stopped drinking tea.
Yin Yue stopped smiling.
Ji Yu'an looked on expressionlessly.
Zhou Xian frowned slightly.
Lin Chen stood at the door with his eyes wide open. A cold wind rushed in through the open door. His clothes, which had been soaked by tea, were not completely dry, and he shivered from the cold.
Feeling uncomfortable being stared at by several pairs of eyes, Jiang Zhouzhou said, "Please sit down first, I'll go get you a cup of hot water to warm you up."
Ignoring the others, Sheng Jingyao lowered his head to look at her face, and said with a wronged look in his eyes, "But all I want is for you to warm me."
He held out his hand to her: "Can you give me a puff of air?"
Finally, someone on the side couldn't stand it anymore.
Zhou Xian reached out and pulled, separating Sheng Jingyao and Jiang Zhouzhou.
Then he pushed him toward Lin Chen, who was walking over, and said with a half-smile, "Hugging her won't do any good; hugging this thing will be much more effective."
Sheng Jingyao immediately dodged away in disgust: "No way."
Lin Chen rolled her eyes and dodged away.
After regaining his balance, Sheng Jingyao straightened his clothes before turning his gaze to the other people in the living room. Some he had never seen before, while others he had met at Old Master Ji's birthday banquet.
With a meek smile on his face, he greeted everyone warmly, "Hello everyone, I don't think I need to introduce myself. You can just call me Xiao Dian like you do in the live stream. I'm quite young and sometimes a bit immature, so I hope you won't mind and will be more accommodating to me."
As soon as he said it, Jiang Zhouzhou felt that she had to keep Xiao Dian under her watchful eye today.
Otherwise, he would definitely be ganged up on.
When it comes to attracting hatred, Xiao Dian has always been number one.
Someone once said during a live stream that if he dared to come to Haishi, he would be greeted by colorful burlap sacks.
Gu Nanfeng already knew Xiao Dian's true identity, and gave him another meaningful look.
Lin Chen said speechlessly, "I've seen people act like they're old and powerful before, but this is the first time I've seen someone act like they're young and inexperienced."
Sheng Jingyao ignored Lin Chen and asked Jiang Zhouzhou directly, "Sister, this brother doesn't seem to like me. Did I do something wrong to upset him?"
The familiar aroma of tea left Lin Chen dumbfounded. He looked sharply at Ji Yu'an, who gave him a helpless look.
Jiang Zhouzhou glanced at Lin Chen, then at Xiao Dian, "Lin Chen, you should give way to him!"
Lin Chen: "..."
Oh no, how could Zhouzhou not have noticed such a low-level green tea tactic?
"Ji Lianhua, say something!"
"Zhou Xian, say a few words too."
Lin Chen looked at the two of them with pleading eyes.
One is a pure and innocent beauty, the other a sharp-tongued master. If these two were to join forces and attack at the same time, this little brat wouldn't have a chance to show off.
Zhou Xian shrugged and said lazily, "Sorry, I need to change my jealous habit."
Ji Yu'an also spoke up, saying, "Today, everyone is here to help Zhouzhou with her housewarming party. Everyone is an important guest invited by Zhouzhou. Zhouzhou certainly hopes that we can get along harmoniously, rather than arguing over trivial matters."
The attitudes of these two people made Lin Chen seriously doubt that he was hallucinating.
She didn't treat him like this at all.
Gu Nanfeng slowly poured a glass of water, the water at the perfect temperature steaming slightly. He handed it to Jiang Zhouzhou and said, "I've poured the water for you, give it to him!"
Jiang Zhouzhou took it and smiled, "Thank you, Brother Nanfeng."
She thought everyone would dislike Xiao Dian, but to her surprise, everyone was friendly and kind, which made her secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Yin Yue smiled at Jiang Zhouzhou and said, "Don't worry, Zhouzhou, we will take good care of him. Young people may not be mature, but we will be very mature."
Sheng Jingyao took the water glass that Jiang Zhouzhou handed him and raised his eyebrows slightly.
It seems that, apart from that naive and innocent girl named Lin Chen, all of these rivals are quite troublesome.
After taking a sip of water, Sheng Jingyao smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding. I know I'm young and can be a little willful sometimes, but thankfully my sister is tolerant and loving. I want to always be an immature little brother by her side."
A faint blush appeared on the face of the "pure" young master after he finished speaking.
Zhou Xian let out a long "Oh," breaking the atmosphere: "So being a younger brother is this great!"
Jiang Zhouzhou's eyelids twitched suddenly, sensing that Zhou Xian was up to no good again.
He opened his lips and silently said to Jiang Zhouzhou, "Zhouzhou, sister, sister—"
Although there was no sound, the last two words were pronounced very long between his lips.
Jiang Zhouzhou automatically imagined his voice, and instantly, the hairs on her body stood on end.
"Well, the barbecue will take a while. If you're bored, you can play some games. I've prepared playing cards and other card games."
She took out the unopened cards from the table, trying to distract the men with a game so they wouldn't have time to mock each other.
What do you want to play?
She pushed the cards aside; she had bought everything she needed.
Gu Nanfeng said, "Since there are so many people today, let's play a card game of Big or Small! It's the simplest and the winner is decided quickly."
Playing card games like Big or Small is similar to rolling dice. First, remove the Jacks, Queens, Kings, and Jokers from the deck. Then, each person draws one card, with the Ace being the lowest (worth 1) and the 10 the highest.
Yin Yue had no objections and smiled, "Since we're playing a game, there has to be a punishment."
The group was familiar with the word "punishment," as they had all played PK punishment games during a voice chat session in Zhouzhou's live stream.
Now online has become offline.
Zhou Xian said with interest, "I have no objection."
Even before the game started, there was already an undercurrent of tension among the group.
Jiang Zhouzhou, caught in the middle, suddenly realized that suggesting playing games was a real mistake...
