Get Married - Chap 7
The clothes Shao Chengyun chose were not outstanding at first glance, just an ordinary white shirt with dark trousers.
However, after unpacking it and taking it out, the shirt was ivory white, made of silk, with a dull luster that complemented the complexion very well. The two cuffs have been tightened to make the wrist more slender.
Adult men can’t wear this kind of shirt, it will only look greasy. He had to be that kind of slender and handsome boy to dare to go up. The white shirt was simple, with a desolate look, temperament and figure were indispensable.
The guest bedroom where Xin Rong lived didn’t have a mirror, so he didn’t know what it would look like after he put it on, so he went outside to show Shao Chengyun.
The first time Shao Chengyun saw him coming out, his breathing was stagnant, and his heart seemed to have missed a beat.
Xin Rong didn’t know it, and asked him, “How about it, Mr. Shao?”
Shao Chengyun stared at him, he didn’t know what he was thinking at this moment, his first reaction seemed to be repentance, and he didn’t want to take him out to meet people.
Xin Rong felt a little embarrassed when he saw it, tugged at one of the cuffs, and said, “If it doesn’t work, I’ll change it.”
Shao Chengyun put his hands on the armrests of the chair, stood up, and walked to him.
“Very good.” He said, his line of sight was very direct, as if there was some kind of entity, looking at Xin Rong through a thin layer of fabric.
Although Xin Rong was a little puzzled, after getting along with him for a day, he didn’t seem to be so wary of Shao Chengyun, instead he met his gaze and smiled faintly.
Shao Chengyun reached out to help him straighten his neckline, and then said, “Okay, let’s go.”
–
It is said to be a box, but it is actually equivalent to a large conference room. A whole wall of floor-to-ceiling glass windows faces the magnificent and boundless sea. As soon as you enter the venue, you will be greeted by the dazzling view of the setting sun falling into the sea, giving people a particularly shocking momentum.
Xin Rong has worked on the ship for so long, and she has never set foot in this place that only serves senior members.
He originally thought that he was a little assistant by Shao Chengyun’s side, but only after entering the box did he realize that Shao Chengyun took him as a companion.
Shao Chengyun had never been the kind of dandy and casual person in the social arena, and he rarely brought his female relatives to attend, but tonight he brought a young boy out to play, which immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
Xin Rong had never experienced this kind of occasion before, and the eyes of the people around him were cast on him like a spinning light ball, which made him feel uneasy.
However, Shao Chengyun remained calm, stretched out his arms to hug him, and asked him, “What do you want to play?”
The box has a bar, roulette, blackjack, and several LCD screens broadcasting horse races in the United States and Hong Kong, just like a small casino.
Xin Rong was dazzled by the sight, and whispered, “I don’t play, Mr. Shao. I won’t.”
Just as he was talking, a man and a woman walked towards him, and it was You Feng who brought his lover over to say hello to Shao Chengyun.
Shao Chengyun nodded at You Feng. You Feng should be several years older than Shao Chengyun in appearance, he is not tall, but has a strong build, and his eyes are shrewd and sharp. When he came up, he teased Shao Chengyun, saying, “What did you say to me last night to get on the boat?” Let’s talk nonsense about the inspection work.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Xin Rong, and smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, “Where did you find it? I’ll keep an eye on it for you in the future.”
Such blunt words immediately made Xin Rong blush.
From the corner of his eyes, Shao Chengyun caught a glimpse of Xin Rong’s ears turning slightly red, and couldn’t bear it, so he ignored You Feng’s words, and passed them off with a smile, and then chatted with him about horse betting, “How about it, which horse did Mr. You bet on? ”
Talking about this You Feng became even more excited. He turned his head and glanced at the screen behind him. The Hong Kong Happy Valley night race was less than half an hour away. can feel it too.
Seeing You Feng’s appearance, Shao Chengyun reckoned that he bet a lot that night.
“Unpopular, No. 4.” When the camera cut to the stable, You Feng pointed to one of the standard dark brown horses, and said, “I’m all in on it.”
Later, You Feng talked about how the No. 4 horse had been doing quite well recently. Shao Chengyun just listened to his bragging without interrupting. In the end, You Feng himself felt embarrassed and asked Shao Chengyun, “Play something else first? To pass the time?”
Shao Chengyun didn’t refuse, but with a look in his eyes, Xin Rong followed him to the roulette table.
Every entertainment here was new to Xin Rong, so when Shao Chengyun pushed a stack of chips in front of him, Xin Rong was really taken aback. Turning her head to meet the steady gaze of the man, remembering the environment she was in, she restrained her emotions in a timely manner, and did not show timidity in public.
He rested his chin on one hand, tilted his head slightly to Shao Chengyun, and said in a low voice, “Mr. Shao, don’t make things difficult for me. I can give you everything here…”
The soft light in the private room had an ambiguous tone, and Xin Rong’s ivory white silk shirt reflected a flowing jade color. Xin Rong herself didn’t know how seductive this way of talking with her head on her chin was, but Shao Chengyun saw it all.
This night he clearly came to socialize with You Feng. He wanted to find out the truth of the other party and show Shao’s sincerity, but his attention seemed to be stuck on Xin Rong, and the more he looked at it, the more he couldn’t move it away.
“You can vote for whatever you want, regardless of whether you win or lose.” Shao Chengyun had no emotion on his face, and his tone sounded light, but after he finished speaking, he took Xin Rong’s hand, held it firmly, and stretched it out. Stack chips.
Different colors represent different values. Before Xin Rong could see the numbers marked on it, Shao Chengyun held his hand and picked up a large black chip.
The man’s steady voice sounded immediately, “Odd or even? Bet big bet small?”
Xin Rong didn’t know what was wrong with her. After hearing Shao Chengyun’s words, her heart beat a little faster, and she reported the number intuitively. Shao Chengyun took his hand and threw the chip to the corresponding number.
The round chip shook and finally landed on the number.
Sitting across from the gaming table, You Feng “tsk tsk” twice, a little surprised, “I can’t tell Mr. Shao, so you are so patient and teach him hand in hand.”
Shao Chengyun smiled and said, “The kid doesn’t have much experience, Mr. You forgive me.”
In fact, Shao Chengyun had planned a long time ago, and he came tonight to lose money to You Feng.
But it’s not appropriate for him to lose by himself. The Shaw Brothers did not rely on small favors from anyone to get to where they are today, and there is no need to be low and small for a few routes. But since I met You Feng on the scene, I should give him this face, which also paves the way for future cooperation.
Therefore, it is most appropriate for Xin Rong to place the bet. Xin Rong doesn’t have much experience, and even knows a little about the rules of playing roulette, so it’s reasonable to lose more and win less. It didn’t discredit Shao Chengyun, and it also made it easy for You Feng to win.
Shao Chengyun and You Feng chatted enthusiastically across the table, the roulette wheel was rolling around the table, and the chips in front of You Feng were getting higher and higher. Later, the horse racing in Hong Kong began, and the atmosphere in the box became even more lively. You Feng made a good bet this time. No. 4 was indeed an upset dark horse. In the second half of the race, he gradually overtook the other favorites to win the championship. When he crossed the finish line, many people in the box cheered and cheered.
You Feng’s face flushed red, he drank a few sips of wine, and praised the Star Star to Shao Chengyun as his blessed land, and every time he came here for recreation, he was the luckiest time.
Seeing that he was very excited, Shao Chengyun knew that his goal of enlisting him had been achieved, and the rest was to slowly lose all the chips to You Feng through Xin Rong’s hand.
Xin Rong hadn’t guessed Shao Chengyun’s intentions, nor could he figure out how many chips were left in the stack in front of him. But every time he loses too much and doesn’t want to play any more, he turns his head to look at Shao Chengyun who is sitting beside him for help, and the man calmly tells him, “Let go and play, maybe you will get angry later.”
Xin Rong even wondered in her heart for a while, is Shao Chengyun going to persuade herself to lose hundreds of thousands and then be forced to sign a sell-off contract, and finally perform the contract by force?
After this thought came up, he couldn’t help laughing himself. With Shao Chengyun’s background, there were so many people who wanted to get married, so it was really impossible to use this kind of trick to cheat the marriage.
But Shao Chengyun, who was sitting at the side, noticed the way he lowered his head and smiled.
“Is it fun?” the man asked him in a low voice.
Xin Rong probably didn’t expect the other party to pay so much attention to her. She was taken aback for a while, then turned to look at Shao Chengyun, finally nodded and said, “It’s fun and exciting.”
These words are not all to cater to Shao Chengyun. Since Xin’s mother fell ill, Xin Rong has always had various bad luck in the past few years, and sometimes he also feels that his life is too depressing. Being chased by Shao Chengyun tonight and sitting at the gambling table, throwing a lot of money recklessly, I also feel a sense of relief.
The corners of Xin Rong’s mouth curled up when he spoke, and his voice was short and light. His pupils are light in color, and his eyes look particularly clean and transparent under the light, with the tails of his eyes drooping a little, and there seems to be a natural sense of innocence when looking at people.
When Shao Chengyun saw it like this, he saw a little bit of evil fire which was rare.
Later, Xin Rong continued to call, and Shao Chengyun calmly beckoned for the waiter.
He ordered a cocktail for Xin Rong, a long drink similar to Long Island Iced Tea. This one has a certain degree of confusion because of its sweet taste, and it is not easy to taste the stamina of spirits such as tequila and vodka.
When Shao Chengyun ordered wine, he gave another instruction to the waiter. The waiter could hear clearly, nodded and went away. After a while, he came back with a glass of golden cocktail, put it in Xin Rong’s hand, and said respectfully, “Mr. of.”
Xin Rong was not suspicious, said thank you, picked it up and took a sip.
They had switched from roulette to blackjack at this time, and Xin Rong would stop to count the cards in order not to lose too embarrassingly. Shao Chengyun occasionally whispered a word or two to him, taught him some skills, on the surface he seemed to be quite fond of him.
Such an atmosphere and environment seemed to cast a layer of ambiguity on all relationships. Where did Xin Rong experience this before? Under Shao Chengyun’s guidance, he unsuspectingly placed bets, counted cards, and occasionally drank some wine. A long drink gradually bottomed out, and the chips were almost exhausted. At this moment, Shao Chengyun took the cards dealt by the dealer and played the last two hands by himself.
In this way, the game ended in his hands, winning or losing didn’t seem to have much to do with Xin Rong, and it didn’t make Xin Rong feel burdened.
When Xin Rong’s table was almost empty, and then saw that You Feng’s side had almost doubled the chips, Xin Rong seemed to have figured it out even if he was a little behind the scenes.
The aftertaste of the wine gradually began to pick up, Xin Rong made an excuse to go to the bathroom, but actually slipped to a corner of the balcony of the box to get some air.
I don’t know if it was because of the alcohol, or something else, but he suddenly had an extremely unreal feeling about the time and space he was in.
This is not his world. He rested his hands on the lever, hung his head, and thought in a vague way. He doesn’t belong here either.
A hand suddenly protected the back of his head from behind, and then rubbed his hair disheveled by the sea breeze. Xin Rong’s thoughts disappeared instantly, and she fell into a warm embrace the moment she turned her head.
“Drunk?” Shao Chengyun hugged him, slightly shielding him from the wind.
Xin Rong didn’t know that everything that happened just now, including the glass of high-alcohol wine she drank, was arranged by the man in advance.
At this moment, he is on the boundless sea, in a luxury box, in this world that often makes him feel strange, it seems that he has suddenly gained a little shelter because of this embrace.
“Not drunk.” He said, his voice was still clear.
“Don’t blow the wind after drinking.” Shao Chengyun said again.
Xin Rong’s heart warmed, and she turned slightly sideways. Shao Chengyun was standing at the wind, and he blocked Xin Rong from the wind.
But this time, Xin Rong was no longer in a hurry to break free from his arms.
