Chapter 15 It was already ten o'clock when Yuanlan

waited for the people in the game hall to disperse. After playing with a few machines, Pei Xin finally sat down on the sofa at the door bored. There was an ashtray on the coffee table, so he naturally took out a cigarette from his pocket and started smoking.

Li Wenyu watched him carefully at first, but later found out that he was indeed playing games and had no other intentions, so he took out his homework and started writing.

At half past ten, Li Wenyu briefly cleaned the empty hall. Pei Xin leaned on the sofa and watched lazily. Scarlet fire spots were clearly extinguished two centimeters from his fingertips. The broom was stretched out to him. He was also completely indifferent when it came to his feet.

Li Wenyu stared at him for two seconds and finally said impatiently: "The game hall is closed."

Pei Xin looked up from the smoke and half-squinted his eyes: "Let's go."

Li Wenyu poked him directly with the broom. Shoes, with a bad tone: "Take it away."

Pei Xin was treated rudely but he lowered his head and laughed, raising his legs a little higher.

Li Wenyu bent down and swept the place under his feet, feeling that this man definitely had a mental problem.

The night was getting colder and colder. Li Wenyu hung the lock on the doorknob, half-wrapped his right hand in his sleeve and locked the door with a little dim light.

Pei Xin stood behind him with half of his face under his collar. He was breathing heavily as he spoke and urged impatiently: "Are you ready?"

Li Wenyu ignored him and put the key in his pocket, moving his hand smoothly. Take it out, shrink your neck, turn around and walk out of the alley.

Pei Xin has been waiting here for so long tonight, and he will definitely not be able to hide, Li Wenyu thought.

But he still backed down when he arrived at Pei Xin's house.

The corridor was brighter than in the elevator. Pei Xin stopped at the door and touched his pocket. He couldn't find the key and rang the doorbell a little annoyed.

The door crack opened, and noises came from inside. Li Wenyu was stunned for a moment, and looked up to see a stranger. The man's eyes glanced at the two of them playfully, then he stepped aside under Pei Xin's slightly impatient eyes, and smiled: "Brother Pei is very busy every day."

Pei Xin turned around, and Li Wenyu was frozen. Face looked through the crack in the door. Several people gathered in the room and were sitting on the sofa playing cards. There was a strong smell of tobacco and alcohol coming out, and white mist was lingering.

Pei Xin saw the hesitant retreat on Li Wenyu's face and, too lazy to say anything more, took his arm and led him through the door.

Li Wenyu was unprepared and staggered and fell on Pei Xin before he regained his balance. The eyes of the people gathered on the other side of the sofa fell on them. It was difficult for Li Wenyu to speak when he went to a crowded place, but he still recognized one of them at a glance as the one he had seen in the hospital that day, named Ying Wei.

Ying Wei was half leaning on the back of the sofa, holding the cards in his hand. He took the time to look up and was not surprised to see Li Wenyu. He smiled and said hello with his eyes, then lowered his head and continued to read the cards. He has an innocent baby face, but at this moment he is not out of tune with the smoky atmosphere here.

Someone had the foresight to give Pei Xin his seat on the card table. Pei Xin pulled Li Wenyu to sit down, and the two were very close to each other. Li Wenyu's face was ugly, but he was also very cooperative and did not move. It was obvious that he was more resistant to strangers around him than Pei Xin at the moment.

So someone started to make ill-intentioned noises: "Hey Brother Pei, here is your new friend."

Li Wenyu frowned and felt like he was on pins and needles. He raised his eyes and met Ying Wei's eyes directly opposite him, and then quickly moved away as if he felt embarrassed . open.

Pei Xin slowly picked up the cards that were dealt on the table. I don't know whether it was because the cards he got were good or for other reasons. A smile appeared on his face: "Classmates from school."

Everyone laughed as if they knew everything.

Li Wenyu felt like he was being watched like a monkey in a zoo. The strong discomfort made him look at Pei Xin for help several times. He simply didn't want to stay here for a moment.

However, Pei Xin seemed to be getting excited. The suits of cards in his hand changed several times, but he didn't even look at Li Wenyu.

Li Wenyu clenched his fists and forced himself to calm down, but he was still almost in a mess. After a few minutes, he simply focused on the card table so that he could ignore the gazes of others.

Pei Xingang just lost, but there was no unnecessary expression on his face. He shuffled the cards to show off his skills. His long and bony fingers and skillful movements looked quite fluent.

Li Wenyu glanced at the black and white piano in the corner and guessed that Pei Xin could play it.

It was a new round. Pei Xin threw out a card. Before the next player could react, the phone that was placed next to him suddenly vibrated. He glanced at it, gathered up the cards in his hand, and turned to look at Li Wenyu: "You play two, and I'll answer the phone."

Li Wenyu was originally very focused, but he was startled by his sudden action of handing over the cards . His eyes rounded, his body subconsciously leaned back, and he shook his head decisively: "You can find someone else, I won't."

The phone was still vibrating, and Pei Xin impatiently put the cards into his hand: "If you lose, it's mine." After speaking, he walked towards the balcony with his mobile phone.

This kind of unreasonableness seems to be something Li Wenyu has become accustomed to. He didn’t struggle too much. He held the cards in his hand and raised his head. When he saw Ying Wei’s half-smiling face, the man raised his chin: “It’s your turn. "

Li Wenyu straightened out the cards in his hand, thought for a moment and began to play. He played the cards very neatly, and his speed was not like that of a novice. After a few rounds, he was not at a disadvantage, and his expression changed from uneasy at the beginning to serious and calm.

He won the first game. Someone said "Oooh" and exchanged glances with the others in surprise. Li Wenyu looked at Pei Xin's figure on the balcony. The glass door was not completely closed, the wind blew the curtains, and his back appeared and disappeared. It seemed that he had no intention of ending the call and entering.

So the others dealt the cards to Li Wenyu as a matter of course and started the next round.

Twenty minutes had passed when Pei Xin came back. The impatience on his face was even worse than before he went out. He threw his phone on the sofa and sat down again.

Ying Wei shuffled the cards in his hand, looked up at him, and smiled slowly: "Pei Xin, your friend is better at poker than you."

Pei Xin didn't have time to pay attention to the card game, and after a cursory glance, he found Li Wenyu at the table. A lot of chips have been piled up. He looked sideways at Li Wenyu, a little surprised: "Have you played before?"

"No." Li Wenyu moved aside and returned the card table to him. At the same time, he looked down at his watch. It was almost twelve o'clock. , must go home. He opened his mouth and was about to speak when his arm was suddenly pulled over by someone. Pei Xin looked at him with interest: "Let me see if you play another game." Li

Wenyu frowned, raised his arm and showed his watch to signal: "I You have to go back."

Of course Pei Xin didn't care about this and responded perfunctorily: "If you win this game, I will let you go back."

Li Wenyu paused and looked at Pei Xin's expression to find out whether this was true or not. , and after two seconds he still resigned himself to his fate and picked up the cards on the table.

After seeing the cards clearly, he was slightly startled. The cards in the previous rounds were all good, but this one was not so good. But he was still concentrating, but the speed of playing cards was slower than before.

Pei Xin was watching from a position very close to him and realized that this man was probably counting cards. He plays cards very accurately. Every time he plays a card, he thinks about how to suppress the next player. With fewer and fewer cards in his hand, he becomes more and more accurate in playing cards.

But this luck was really bad, Pei Xin sneered silently. Opposite him, Ying Wei suddenly gathered the cards in his hand, put his hands together on his knees, leaned forward, and crossed the card table to get closer to Li Wenyu.

"You continue." He stared directly at Li Wenyu, indicating that he would not accept the card.

Li Wenyu was a little surprised. Logically speaking, Ying Wei had a card to play. But now he just wanted to win this round and go home, so he didn't think too much and couldn't wait to throw away the pair in his hand.

Pei Xin looked at Ying Wei with a sullen face, and the other person smiled happily with the corners of his lips pulled indifferently.

Ying Wei didn't play a single card for most of the next round, so Li Wenyu didn't play so hard and won the round with a relaxed look on his face.

After the cards were played, he finally relaxed and looked at Pei Xin's face first. He found that the man was a little worried after his face was dark, but he still asked, "I won, can I leave?"

Pei Xin heard him speak. His expression returned to normal and he blinked, but there was still no emotion in it: "Okay, let's go."

Li Wenyu's eyes lit up, he stood up and prepared to walk out. Everyone else in the room was playing their own thing, and the eyes that looked at him when he first arrived were no longer there. He breathed a sigh of relief, and Ying Wei said goodbye with a smile from behind: "Be careful on the road, see you next time."

Li Wen Yu turned around and saw Ying Wei tilting his head and looking over with a smile, his round eyes shining like a child's. He subconsciously responded with a polite smile, but did not stop at all.
