Chapter 531: Chapter 467 Spring is in the Air_2
Facing Leng Shaoqing’s teasing, Luo Shangqing responded good-naturedly: "I’ll be there soon."
"Hurry up, hurry up." Leng Shaoqing hung up the phone discontentedly, "waiting to win your money."
The place agreed upon for the card game was in the Xiangshan Club’s card room, so there was no truth to Luo Shangqing’s claim of "just passing by on errands."
Luo Shangqing placed his phone on the holder, the battery status clearly displaying 87%, naturally, there was also no truth to the "phone is out of battery" excuse.
After arriving at Xiangshan Club, the three men inside were smoking.
"I say Old Luo, usually the moment you hear card games, you’d be eager as a rocket flying over, what’s going on today?" Nan Zhan glanced at his watch, "20 minutes late."
Luo Shangqing sat down at the mahjong table, casually draping his coat over the chair back, and said calmly: "Dropped a student home."
Next to him, Leng Shaoqing, could not help but laugh out loud: "Since when has our Teacher Luo become so considerate of students, going home is just an excuse, but, Teacher Luo, isn’t twenty minutes a bit too short, a quick shot huh? Haha."
Luo Shangqing glanced disinterestedly at the others: "Are we playing or not?"
"Play, play, of course, we play, all waiting to win your money." Leng Shaoqing extinguished his cigarette, calling Zhuo Yanbei who was still on the phone by the window, "Yanbei, let’s start."
Zhuo Yanbei seemed not to hear Leng Shaoqing’s words, his expression stern, frowning, and eventually said very dissatisfied: "I’m not as weak as you think."
Probably furious, he hung up the phone and punched the glass with force, his face unwillingly gritting his teeth.
"Yanbei, what’s wrong?" Nan Zhan noticed his unusual demeanor.
Zhuo Yanbei immediately returned to normal, turned his head to smile: "Nothing, just some military matters, Luo has arrived, let’s start."
Luo Shangqing’s card skills were really terrible, completely disproportionate to his IQ over 200. People played with him simply to win some pocket money.
But today, Luo Shangqing’s luck was inexplicably good, almost getting whatever he wanted, even if his skills were poor it didn’t stop him from winning ten games in a row, making the other men scream in agony.
Luo Shangqing put the money into his wallet unapologetically, proudly lifting his eyebrows: "Don’t feel wronged, this is just one-tenth of what I usually lose to you guys."
"Old Luo, is there some good news?" Nan Zhan lit a cigarette, "You look quite radiant."
Luo Shangqing picked up a tile, glanced at it, then smiled: "Sorry, I won again, big four joys."
"Damn, can’t we play happily anymore?" Leng Shaoqing kept complaining as he lost, "You win my money in my place, aren’t you afraid of not getting out of this door?"
"I think I just saw Cheng Lin." Zhuo Yanbei took the cigarette passed over by Nan Zhan, "Didn’t she look for you?" After speaking, he glanced at Luo Shangqing.
Luo Shangqing looked down at his tiles, speaking indifferently: "Met her already."
"Cheng Lin is deeply in love with you, have you ever considered her? Both Cheng Family and your family are medical families, she looks good too, and she is your junior from school."
Luo Shangqing handling the mahjong tiles: "When are you returning to the military?"
Knowing he didn’t want to continue this topic, Zhuo Yanbei didn’t ask further, "Day after tomorrow."
As everyone was about to drop the topic, the subject herself arrived. Following the knock on the door, Cheng Lin walked in, not surprised to see a room full of people, she boldly approached: "Heard you guys were playing cards, just came to have a look, who won?"
Cheng Lin has had relationships with the six major families since childhood, although everyone later pursued different careers, they hadn’t lost touch, and since everyone knew about her feelings for Luo Shangqing, they somewhat treated her like one of their own.
"Sister Lin is here, sit down." Zhuo Yanbei quickly pointed to an empty chair on the side.
The others also greeted her one after another, only Luo Shangqing who had seen her just now merely nodded his head and continued to handle his tiles.
"I’ll sit here." Cheng Lin ignored the spot Zhuo Yanbei pointed to, pulled a chair and sat next to Luo Shangqing, leaning over to look at his tiles, "Losing or winning?"
Before Luo Shangqing could respond, Leng Shaoqing spoke for him: "Don’t mention it, Old Luo is on fire today, he totally devastated us."
"Really?" Cheng Lin had heard of Luo Shangqing’s card skills ahead of time, a slight surprise showed on her face, "Shangqing, are you really having such good luck today?"
"Not bad." Luo Shangqing responded indifferently, playing the fourth one dot tile he drew after Cheng Lin had arrived.
"Winning." Opposite, Nan Zhan pushed his tiles, "I win with this one dot, the previous three were all discarded by you, it pained me to watch, didn’t expect you to deliver the fourth one too, thanks."
In the next few games, Luo Shangqing started losing continually, not only did he not win a single game but he also triggered several heavy penalties, and all the money he had won earlier was completely taken back, making Cheng Lin on the side anxious for him.
"Cheng Lin, why did Old Luo’s luck turn bad the moment you arrived?" Leng Shaoqing joked from the side, "Don’t you two get along well?"
Cheng Lin smiled generously: "If he kept having such good luck, you guys would be the ones complaining."
Luo Shangqing finished paying, suddenly picked up the mobile on the side, and stood up: "Cheng Lin, you play, I need to step out for a bit."
"What?" Cheng Lin had come specifically for him, and if he was leaving, there was no point in her staying.
But since he had already mentioned it, it wouldn’t be good for her to disrupt the game, so she reluctantly took over his spot.
"You guys play, I’m heading out." Luo Shangqing grabbed his coat from the chair and rushed out the door.
Nan Zhan, with a cigarette in his mouth, arranging the tiles at the door mused, "Old Luo is a bit off today, when has he ever asked to leave the table while playing cards, what’s so urgent today?"
