Chapter 336 My sister-in-law's first move reveals her true skill!
Chapter 336 Your sister-in-law's skill is evident from her first move!
Around the four-sided card table, the people sitting around had different expressions, all focused on the game.
Li Qianqian gracefully approached Lin Yourong from behind, tilting her head slightly to observe the card game with curiosity.
She recognized each of the mahjong tiles individually, but when they were put together, they left her completely bewildered, as she was unfamiliar with the rules of mahjong...
"Qianqian, you really don't play mahjong?" Ji Meng asked casually with a smile.
"Sister Mengmeng, I really don't know how." Li Qianqian quickly shook her head, her head shaking like a rattle drum, her hair swaying gently.
Seeing this, Ji Meng smiled.
As the two were talking, Wang Xianjiao walked over steadily, carrying two large glass cups of tea, with wisps of steam rising from the rims.
She smiled and said to Li Qianqian, "Little Li, would you like some tea?"
Li Qianqian had noticed her busy figure at the tea table inside before, and shook her head again upon hearing this.
However, upon hearing this affectionate address, she returned the favor by saying, "Thank you, sister. I'll just watch for a little while, then I'll go play somewhere else."
"Oh, oh." Wang Xianjiao paused and turned to look.
From his vantage point, all he could see was the profile of the face hidden by a mask under the brim of the hat.
I'm a little curious whether she really wears a mask all the time because of allergies.
But Wang Xianjiao's smile widened even more when she saw the gentle and quiet Aunt Yu: "Sister-in-law, I've rinsed the cup with boiling water. I'll put it on the stool behind you first."
Lin Yourong's gaze swept back and forth across the cards in front of her. After a brief analysis, she gently picked up an eight of bamboo and discarded it.
Hearing Wang Xianjiao's words, she looked up at her little ironwood sapling, smiled, and said in a falsetto voice, "Thank you."
"Mmm!" Wang Xianjiao nodded.
Then, she walked to Ji Meng's side, turned her wrist, and positioned the handle of the glass so that it faced Ji Meng.
Ji Meng noticed this and quickly reached out her hands to carefully take it, smiling as she thanked her, "You're so thoughtful, thank you for being so considerate!"
Wang Xianjiao easily loosened the handle of the cup, chuckled, and turned to walk towards the wall: "I promised Brother Yu that I would take good care of you and your sister-in-law. These are nothing, don't be shy!"
Xu Fei, who was sitting opposite Lin Yourong, suddenly let out a "whoosh" and, with a joyful expression, pushed over the mahjong tiles, winning by drawing the winning tile himself.
Then, she happily gave Wang Xianjiao a thumbs up: "As expected of Brother Yu's capable assistant, so sensible!"
At work, many people often saw Wang Xianjiao and Brother Yu whispering to each other.
Even Chen Yaoyao, who was the most promoted, had never been this close to Brother Yu.
People often joke about Wang Xianjiao in private or in work groups, saying that she is Brother Yu's number one confidante.
Wang Xianjiao was already used to this, and bent down to place the teacup steadily on the stool.
She said very casually, "I just run errands and do odd jobs, I'm not some important minister!"
We're all just family members, and as fellow fans of Lin Su, we only have a few things in common to talk about.
Xiang Xinyi took out a ten-yuan bill from her pocket and said with a slow and steady smile, "Xianjiao, don't be modest. Everyone knows you're Brother Yu's right-hand woman!"
Lin Yourong found their conversation amusing and couldn't help but chuckle softly, almost inaudibly.
Xu Fei picked up a small stack of bills from the table, rolled it up halfway and held it in his hand, then pushed the tiles in front of him into the hole that rose up in the middle of the mahjong machine.
She then stood up gracefully and said with a smile, "I'm leaving the table. Who's next?"
Wang Xianjiao had just heard Li Qianqian call Ji Meng "Sister Mengmeng," and now she followed suit, sweet-talking, "Sister Mengmeng, you go first!"
Ji Meng was holding a teacup, slowly blowing on it when she heard this. She smiled and said, "I'll line up after you."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xianjiao didn't hesitate and nodded slightly: "Okay."
After responding, she quickly went around to sit down in the house opposite Lin Yourong's.
The mahjong machine emitted a low "humming" sound, followed by the crisp sound of shuffling the tiles.
During her free time, Wang Xianjiao inadvertently glanced at Aunt Yu across the street.
The white beaded bracelet on her right wrist was particularly eye-catching; the smooth, round ceramic beads were tightly linked together, gleaming with a soft luster.
Most importantly, it looks like it's the same style as Brother Yu's bracelet?
The shuffling sound gradually subsided, and the mahjong machine emitted a soft "click" sound. Then, the mahjong tiles slowly rose and were neatly arranged on the table.
Li Qianqian stood behind Lin Yourong and watched for a while, but felt that there was really nothing to see.
She gave Ji Meng a brief greeting and then strolled over to the next table to take a look.
There are only six people here, including Huan Ge, but the atmosphere inside is completely different.
The mahjong tiles were being slapped so hard they were making a "slapping" sound, and the loud talking and laughing made it almost deafening.
She stood on the threshold and looked into the distance, her eyes meeting those of Yu Huan, who was playing mahjong facing the door.
The two exchanged a slight smile, and Li Qianqian decisively hopped on her yo-yo to go find Li Xiaoyu to sing...
Yu Huan withdrew his gaze, and time quietly slipped away as he pondered.
Every second seemed to be shortened. He would occasionally respond to the others' little jokes, mostly just laughing it off and focusing on the game.
Nearly two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
The mahjong game was so intense that it seemed as if Yu Huan was welded to this seat, and he encountered the same predicament as when he was at his uncle's house.
He was completely absorbed, as if the whole world had been condensed into this small card table.
It wasn't until he suddenly heard a series of greetings of "Sister-in-law Yu" and "Sister-in-law" that he glanced up and saw Lin Yourong standing gracefully beside him.
"Sister-in-law Yu, Brother Yu's card skills and luck seem to be a little off. Once he sits at the table, he's like he's nailed to it, he never gets off. I think he's already handed out two banknotes!" Wang Zhi's humorous words drew laughter from those around him.
Everyone was clearly trying to let him win, but Yu Ge still couldn't win. It has to be said that he seemed to lack both skill and luck.
In the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, Yu Huan noticed the faint smile in Lin Yourong's eyes, raised the corners of her mouth, and looked back at the cards.
He smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, my savior has finally arrived. Would you mind if I gave you a little pointer?"
Ye Jianxue, who was sitting to the left, quickly chimed in, saying with a smile, "Of course I don't mind! I just don't know how good your card skills are, and whether you can save Brother Yu for the next game."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong smiled gently. Since the matter had been put to this point, she naturally couldn't refuse.
Lin Yourong moved to stand behind Yu Huan to look at the cards, and already had some strategy in mind.
She leaned slightly forward, her slender fingers gently picking up a card. Seeing that it was a six of bamboo that she didn't want, she casually put it back into the deck.
She drew and played cards with elegant and decisive movements. With everyone intentionally letting her win and with a bit of luck, Lin Yourong immediately won a hand for Yu Huan, successfully rescuing him from dire straits.
Amidst cheers, Yu Huan collected the money, turned around, looked at Lin Yourong whose eyes were curved into crescent moons, gave her a thumbs up, and exclaimed, "You can tell how good my wife is as soon as she makes a move! My wife! You truly live up to your reputation!"
Lin Yourong playfully shoved Yu Huan's shoulder.
She clearly noticed that these people were letting others win, and thought to herself, "What's so great about that?"
I couldn't be bothered to talk to this mahjong novice.
Ye Jianxue, who had successfully given the couple a hand that they could win, said with a smile, "As expected of my sister-in-law, her skill is undeniable! Brother Yu is finally free."
Yu Huan took the bills out of the drawer, folded them, and put them in her trench coat pocket.
Having already lost and grown weary of the experience, he was indeed relieved. He stood up, supporting himself on the edge of the table, and said with a smile, "I've been sitting here for so long, I'm going to go for a walk and catch my breath."
Wang Zhi, with a grin, advised, "Brother Yu, why not try to be more determined after each setback?"
Yu Huan twisted his waist from side to side to loosen his stiff back, and without thinking, he recited a rhyme: "Retreat from the rapids to stretch your muscles and bones, relax and fight again later."
As he spoke, he took Lin Yourong's hand, and the couple went out one after the other.
As the sun moves westward, the shadows cast by the buildings have become much shorter.
When they reached the flower bed, the two were exposed to the bright sunlight.
Yu Huan released Lin Yourong's hand, stretched out a big yawn, and gazed into the distance towards the shallow pond, relaxing her ciliary muscles.
At the same time, he turned his neck, making a slight "clicking" sound. His body, which had been sitting still for more than two hours, gradually became more flexible as he moved.
He said contentedly, "Honey, I'll wander around a bit, you can stay here and play cards."
Lin Yourong slightly raised her eyes, her gaze falling on Yu Huan's profile.
His sunglasses gleamed, and his hair seemed to be coated with a warm golden halo.
"I'll stay with you~"
Upon hearing these gentle words, Yu Huan turned slightly to the side, raised her hand to grasp the brim of Lin Yourong's hat, and gently pulled it down.
"Do I need you to keep me company? You're not some little kid. Just go play your own game."
"Honey, will you come to play cards again later?" Lin Yourong tilted her head slightly and asked him.
Yu Huan's gaze was instantly drawn to his first wife's signature head tilt; her almond-shaped eyes, peeking out from between her hat brim and mask, were exceptionally charming and captivating.
Yu Huan couldn't help but subconsciously reach out and stroke her buttocks.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yourong reacted quickly, intercepting him and grabbing his left wrist, scolding, "What are you doing!"
Yu Huan chuckled and shamelessly said, "I couldn't help myself, I couldn't help myself—as for playing cards, my back is really stiff from sitting so long, so I'll wander around and get my revenge."
Lin Yourong let go of his hand, rolled her eyes at him, and said coquettishly, "Then wait until you come back, I'll see how you get your revenge."
After saying that, she turned around and took light steps toward the Guanyin Bureau chess and card room on the left.
"Okay, have fun here. Call me if anything comes up," Yu Huan said, then put on her sunglasses and turned to walk towards the main road.
At that moment, he was thinking about checking on the fishing team and seeing how many fish they had caught.
Yu Huan walked slowly, taking a deep breath as she went.
The fresh air filled my lungs, as if injecting vitality into my body.
With a cool breeze brushing my cheeks and the warm sunshine, my previous drowsiness vanished instantly, and I felt refreshed.
When he reached the three-way intersection, he looked up and saw two people playing badminton in the open space in front of the guesthouse.
Facing him was Chen Chen, who appeared remarkably relaxed, indicating he was playing the ball with great ease.
The woman with her back to him was wearing a sweater and her steps were somewhat unsteady.
Yu Huan spent a while trying to identify her, but judging from her figure and hairstyle, it was clearly Jiang Ying.
To Yu Huan, Jiang Ying wasn't exactly a complete newcomer.
In her past life, she worked in operations at the new media department. Little did she know that in this life, she would be in charge of public opinion monitoring with Zheng Yu.
When a little butterfly flaps its wings, the world becomes very different.
Yu Huan recalled that, in his memory, Chen Chen, besides having the skill of hiding the Fantasy Westward Journey interface in milliseconds using the boss key, also seemed to be a badminton master.
Since Lin Yourong loves playing badminton and seems to be quite good at it, she could ask Chen Chen for some pointers and practice her skills a bit.
It would be embarrassing if I couldn't even defeat my wife in one blow.
Plans can change, and it's not necessary to go fishing.
With this in mind, Yu Huan did not turn at the fork in the road and walked towards the square in front of the welcoming building.
Chen Chen spotted Yu Huan's tall figure from afar, and saw her walking straight towards them, delivering a merciless overhead smash.
Jiang Ying was panting heavily; the ball was moving too fast for her to react to.
Just as I raised my racket, the shuttlecock whizzed past my side, and I missed it.
In a flash, Chen Chen met Yu Huan's gaze without hesitation, displaying a boldness that seemed to defy the explosion, and greeted him loudly, "Brother Yu!"
Jiang Ying let out a long sigh and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Startled by the voice, she turned and saw the person who had entered. She chuckled, slightly out of breath, and said, "Brother Yu, I saw you in the card room earlier. Were you done playing?"
Yu Huan nodded to Chen Chen and then jokingly replied, "No, just playing mahjong. I can come out and play anytime."
Jiang Ying nodded slightly, took a step forward, bent down and picked up the shuttlecock: "Chen Chen plays badminton really well, I can hardly keep up. Brother Yu, do you want to have a match with him?"
Yu Huan, who had the same idea, looked at Chen Chen and said with a smile, "I'm not very good at playing, but I'm thinking of learning badminton."
Upon hearing this, Chen Chen's eyes lit up: "Brother Yu! I was in the badminton club in college, and I'm pretty good at it, you could help me out—"
Before joining the new media department, he had already gained experience for more than half a year, so he quickly swallowed the word "teach" that was on the tip of his tongue.
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Brother Yu! Let me tell you some badminton tips!"
"Sure, sure." Yu Huan nodded repeatedly, took the racket and shuttlecock from Jiang Ying with both hands, and thanked her gently, "Thank you, Jiang Ying. You take a rest first. I'll play badminton for a while and then go play cards."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ying stepped back to make way while waving her hands repeatedly, saying, "I'm not playing anymore, I can't play anymore, I'm exhausted, I'd rather go sing."
Yu Huan glanced at Chen Chen not far away, a smile playing on her lips.
No wonder this beast was just like him in his past life, still unable to find a wife at thirty.
