Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Shanchu moved closer to Huo Xunzhou, trying to ask him how his discussion with Yun Wu went.
Huo Xunzhou pointed at the cards on the table and said, “It’s your turn.” Lin Shanchu quickly reached out and drew a card.
“You lost so badly?” Huo Xunzhou asked with a faint smile as he flipped through the 200 yuan note in front of her.
“I didn’t lose!” Lin Shanchu raised her chin proudly and said, “I lent the money to Yun Jin.”
When Huo Xunzhou looked at Yun Jin, Lin Shanchu added, “I lent all the money to him.”
Huo Xunzhou did not say anything. He just narrowed his eyes and clicked his tongue.
Yun Jin could hear the mockery in the click.
“I will win back all the money I lost!” Yun Jin clenched his fists and looked imposing.
Yun Yi chuckled across the table.
Lin Shanchu loved hearing Huo Xunzhou praise her.
It was because introverted people were exceptionally sincere when they praised someone else.
Even if Huo Xunzhou praised her as the most beautiful person in the world, she would think that he was telling the truth.
Yun Wu, who had caught up with them, called out anxiously, “Shanshan!”
Lin Shanchu already finished drawing the cards and was concentrating on sorting out her cards, so she only responded softly, “Uh-uh.”
Yun Wu’s conscience still hurt a little after she had shifted the blame onto Lin Shanchu, so she wanted to give her a reminder.
However, Lin Shanchu only cared about sorting out her cards and did not pay attention to her.
On the other hand, Huo Xunzhou was sitting next to Lin Shanchu, so she could not make it too obvious.
Lin Shanchu began to play her cards. Huo Xunzhou turned his head and glanced indifferently at Yun Wu.
Yun Wu was initially conflicted about whether she should take the risk, but she lost all her courage after Huo Xunzhou glanced at her.
Compared to her friendship with Lin Shanchu, her life was more important.
Yun Wu silently walked over to Yun Yi and sat down. She then lay down on the table and watched them play cards.
While playing cards, Yun Yi leaned toward Yun Wu and placed the cards in front of him before he asked in a low voice, “What did you do?” “Huh?” Yun Wu hurriedly denied, “Nothing.”
“Guilt is written all over your face,” Yun Yi whispered to her.
“Big brother, don’t ask anymore.” Yun Wu sighed like an old man.
She felt that her friendship with Lin Shanchu was about to be shattered.
There was no man who did not care about his dignity.
Huo Xunzhou was crafty. It was unknown what sinister tricks he would use to regain his dignity.
Yun Wu silently prayed for Lin Shanchu, mourning for her in advance. Lin Shanchu was enthusiastic in the game of cards, playing one round after another.
Yun Jin was also playing cards enthusiastically because he always felt that he would win the next round.
Yun Yi lost two rounds and won two rounds, so he regained the money that he had lost in the end.
The few of them played cards until late at night and Yun Jin lost all the money he borrowed from Lin Shanchu.
After the last round ended, Yun Jin handed the remaining 100 yuan to Lin Shanchu and began to doubt his life.
“Why is my money gone?
“How did I lose so much money?”
Huo Xunzhou sleepily leaned on Lin Shanchu and cast a lazy gaze at Yun Jin.
“If you owe Shanshan money, just transfer it to her through WeChat. It’s New Year’s Eve tomorrow. Don’t carry forward this year’s debt to next year.”
Yun Jin felt hurt. “Why don’t you comfort me after I lost all the money tonight? Are we still brothers? Besides, how can I not pay Shanshan back?”
Huo Xunzhou said, “Transfer the money.”
“You’re inhumane!” Yun Jin glared at Huo Xunzhou and took out his phone to transfer the money to Lin Shanchu.
Lin Shanchu accepted the money Yun Jin transferred to her without hesitation.
“Are you sleepy?” She turned to look at Huo Xunzhou, who was leaning on her shoulder.
The lights were bright, making the woman’s face look even more radiant.
Huo Xunzhou’s Adam’s apple bobbed. After raising his head slightly, he paused for a moment and leaned on her shoulder again.
“Yes.”
For some reason, Lin Shanchu felt that he was trying to ask for a kiss just now.
However, there were many people at the scene, so he restrained himself in time.
“I’ll stop playing. I’m going back to sleep.”
Huo Xunzhou nodded and slowly straightened his body.
Yun Wu came down from upstairs with her gaze fixed on Lin Shanchu. “You’re done playing cards?”
She was a little sleepy before, so she went back to her room to wash up and sleep.
She still felt guilty after she woke up, so she sneaked out to give Lin Shanchu a reminder.
“Yeah.” Lin Shanchu got up and stretched her body. “It’s time to go back to sleep. Goodnight, Yun Wu.”
Yun Wu walked towards her.
“Shanshan, I don’t know what to wear tomorrow. Can you come to my room and help me out?”
“Auntie has already prepared the clothes for tomorrow.”
Tomorrow was New Year’s Eve, so everyone had to wear the bright red clothes prepared by Yun Wu’s mother.
Lin Shanchu lowered her guard due to sleepiness, so she did not understand the implicit meaning behind her words.
“Shanshan…”
“Go back to sleep. See you tomorrow.”
Lin Shanchu yawned and left with Huo Xunzhou.
Yun Wu felt that her conscience did not hurt as much.
She felt that she had already done her best.
Lin Shanchu was the one who did not listen to her.
Yes, that was the case!
Huo Xunzhou took Lin Shanchu to his room.
Lin Shanchu, who had been feeling sleepy, was no longer sleepy all of a sudden.
Why was this man so proactive today?
Huo Xunzhou took out Lin Shanchu’s pajamas and put them in the bathroom.
Then, he came out and urged her, “Go take a shower.”
“Oh…” Lin Shanchu walked towards the bathroom while looking at him curiously.
After she slowly came out of the shower, Huo Xunzhou went into the bathroom.
Her imagination ran wild as she lay in bed waiting for Huo Xunzhou.
As she thought about it, she fell asleep.
When Huo Xunzhou came out, he walked to the bed and saw that she was asleep. Then, he tucked her in and kissed her before turning off the lights.
Lin Shanchu slept until dawn.
The curtains were very effective in blocking out light, and the room was pitch black without a trace of light.
She was still in a daze after she just woke up. She opened her mouth and asked, “Are you done showering?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the man’s chest trembling slightly.
The quiet room was filled with suppressed laughter.
“What are you laughing at?” She looked up and could vaguely see Huo
Xunzhou’s face.
Huo Xunzhou had woken up once before. At that time, Lin Shanchu was still sound asleep, so he did not move and just looked at the time.
“It should be almost 8:00 a.m. now.”
The man’s deep voice was hoarse and exceptionally sexy after he woke up in the morning.
“8:00 a.m.?” Lin Shanchu was stunned.
“Yes.”
To think that she had let her imagination run wild last night.
She actually slept until dawn!
And nothing happened!
Huo Xunzhou enthusiastically took her to his room and urged her to take a shower last night, but he allowed her to sleep through the night!
