The boss is back and she doesn’t pretend to be a fake daughter anymore

Although Cang Lu said that Jianjia liked interesting things, Jiang Xuxu felt that what attracted Jianjia more than interesting things should be Cang Lu the dragon.

She could give Cang Lu an idea on how to coax the person back, but based on her two observations of Cang Lu, this person didn't seem like the type who would take the initiative to coax others.

After thinking about it, Jiang Xuxu decided to use another more roundabout idea.

He told Chu Beihe what he wanted, and within half a day, Chu Beihe had the palace servants prepare the things.

When Cang Lu was "invited" over, what he saw was a low platform specially placed under the ginkgo tree in the courtyard.

There is a stove next to the low table, in which sweet milk tea is cooking, with sweet potatoes and oranges placed beside it. Compared with the snow scene in the courtyard, this corner seems unusually warm and cozy.

Jiang Xuxu and Chu Beihe both changed into casual clothes and sat cross-legged on both sides of a square table, fiddling with the cardboard cards of various colors and patterns on the table.

Looking at the phoenix eggs that they had been asked to place to hatch, they were now placed on a soft cushion next to the stove.

Cang Lu walked over, looked down at them, and asked,

"what is this?"

"Poker." Jiang Xuxu paused and added, "It's fun."

Although in fact, she and Chu Beihe didn't play much.

But you haven't seen a pig run, and you haven't eaten pork.

They all know the basic poker gameplay and rules, so now they will know how to play it by substituting them into their own situations.

Cang Lu didn't pay much attention to the things in the human world, but after a brief explanation from Chu Beihe, he quickly got the hang of it.

Chu Beihe initially thought that given the impression given by Cang Lu, he might not cooperate with such a time-wasting game, but surprisingly, Cang Lu not only did not raise any objections, he was even very cooperative.

He listened to the rules seriously, played cards seriously, and even when he lost and was given a note, he did it properly.

The three of them had just played around the table twice around the stove when they felt the barrier that isolated sound and vision in the courtyard was distorted for a moment.

The next second, Jianjia suddenly appeared behind Cang Lu, staring at the cards in his hand and asking him,

"what are you playing?"

Cang Lu felt the familiar breath beside his ears, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he did not turn his head, and just said,

"It's something from another world, it's called playing cards."

Jianjia didn't feel her appearance was abrupt at all. She heard that it was something from another world. Then she looked at the sweet and fragrant milk tea warming in the stove. She immediately pushed Canglu aside and moved closer to him. She pulled his arm holding the cards in front of her.

"Tell me how to play."

He glanced at the stove next to him and signaled Chu Beihe, "Pour me a cup of milk tea."

It should be called milk tea, she remembered that Jiang Xuxu called her that.

After a pause, he added, "Add more condiments."

Chu Beihe:......

As the dragon vein, he was rarely told what to do.

If this person was not Xuxu's previous life, or if it was someone else, he would ignore him.

He put down the sign in his hand with a good temper, turned around and made a cup of milk tea, but he didn't give it to Jianjia first, but gave the first cup to Jiang Xuxu.

"Five cents of sugar, not as sweet as last time."

Jiang Xuxu was rarely so relaxed and at ease. He immediately took it with a smile and took a sip in front of Jianjia. It was indeed not that sweet.

Jianjia stared at the two people's actions, somewhat incredulous.

My request was actually put second. Doesn’t this soul from another world know whose territory this is?

But inexplicably, she did not feel the slightest bit of dislike for Jiang Xuxu, the alien soul who "stole" her first cup of milk tea. She even felt that it was natural for Chu Beihe to give Jiang Xuxu milk tea first.

Seeing that Jiang Xuxu had already started drinking, he quickly said to Chu Beihe,

"I want it as sweet as last time."

After saying this, she saw Cang Lu looking at her, and suddenly felt that she had seen more of the world than him, and said,

"Have you tried this milk tea? I tried it last time and it was delicious."

Cang Lu naturally had never drunk it, but knowing that she occasionally liked to try human food, he followed her lead.

"Then I'll try it later."

Chu Beihe:......

Due to the special identities of Cang Lu and Jian Jia, Chu Beihe and Jiang Xuxu naturally would not keep anyone in the courtyard, which meant that they could only do it themselves.

But this is just the first cup. Chu Beihe will not serve you any more if you want a refill.

Fortunately, no one here is greedy, even Jianjia just wants to try something new.

Holding the specially made milk tea cup and sipping the milk tea, Jianjia's attention returned to the cardboard in Canglu's hand.

After watching for a while and being led to play for a round, Jianjia said that she had learned it. She left Canglu and sat in another empty seat. The four of them sat around the table and played cards.

The warm afternoon sun shines into the courtyard.

In the solemn palace, this corner was the only one where there was some noise and laughter.

It was a rare leisure time as the four of them sat around the table. There were a few pieces of paper stuck on each of their faces, but that did not stop them from concentrating on the cards in their hands. Their expressions were all serious and solemn.

Sanshu, who had been lying on the phoenix egg and nurturing each other's souls, had transformed into a small fire phoenix at some point. Now he was lying on Cang Lu's shoulder, looking at his cards, and then glanced at Jiang Xuxu opposite him.

Suddenly, the little fire phoenix raised its tail feathers, and the flame at the tail inadvertently changed into the shape of a character.

Just as Jiang Xuxu saw clearly, Jianjia over there threw a fireball at it.

"You cheated in front of me, you're asking for a beating!"

Sanshu barely dodged it. Although his tail was touched by the fireball, it was not damaged. It just circled over the heads of several people and landed on Jiang Xuxu's shoulder, touching it.

Seeing this, Jiang Xuxu just reached out and tapped his head, saying,

"No need to reveal the cards to me, I can win."

Jianjia followed her movements and looked at the bronze bell hanging on her wrist, but she looked away and chuckled.

"Who can you beat? You're just a soul from another world, don't be so arrogant."

Jiang Xuxu had figured out this person's personality, and after playing with her for a while, she was not afraid of her at all. Upon hearing this, she just said calmly,

"You borrowed Cang Lu's luck to help you get good cards, but you only managed to beat me twice. According to this probability, I will definitely win in the end without San Shu's help."

She pointed it out directly, and Jianjia's ten tails exploded behind her.

"Do I, the mighty Ten-tailed Heavenly Fox, need luck to defeat you?!"

The ten tails spread out, and the momentum was visibly strong, but it was apparently too strong. The ten tails accidentally knocked over the milk tea that had been heating on the stove.

When the four of them reacted, they saw the boiling hot milk tea in the pot splash onto the phoenix egg that was roasting next to the stove.

For a moment, the four people present, including Jianjia, the instigator, were all silent.

Cang Lu reacted and was about to use cleaning skills on the phoenix egg, but unexpectedly, in just a moment, the milk tea on the phoenix egg was completely absorbed by the eggshell.

The next second, there was a cracking sound from the eggshell.
