Life With You

There were people everywhere on the street, and George Sheng and Song Xi were both particularly eye-catching among the crowd. The two of them stood together like giant pandas that had just been transported, and everyone who caught them would look at them twice.

When George Sheng was in Night City, let alone strolling on the street, he would almost get in the car as soon as he went out. When he arrived at the company, no one would dare to look at him so blatantly. He was already irritable in his heart. After smoking a cigarette, He said to Song Xi: Don't wander around in the street, find another place.

Song Xi asked: Where to go?

George Sheng gave a range: Indoor.

Song Xi thought to herself that she was not afraid of crowds, and she also liked the excitement. However, understanding George Sheng's mood, Song Xi hesitated for a moment, and suddenly looked at him and said, Shall we go to the casino? I made an appointment with Tong Hao to go there tonight. From the casino, since you don’t want to hang out outside, let’s go now.”

George Sheng didn't comment and walked straight to the street. Song Xi was slightly stunned. She didn't know what he meant and could only follow him.

He stretched out his hand to hail a taxi. After the two of them got in, he said they were going to the Venetian.

The car drove forward a few hundred meters, and Song Xi asked, Don't you have official business in Macau? When will you go?

George Sheng didn't look at her and replied casually: Video conference.

Song Xi nodded: Oh.

She reacted the second after answering, video conference? Does the video require a special trip to Macau? Where can't you see?

Deep down, he was hesitating whether to expose him, when he heard George Sheng speak again: I could have gone back to Night City directly. Yuan Bao called me at the last minute and said that you were alone here, and I stopped by to take you back.

Ah. Song Xi nodded again.

George Sheng said this calmly. If he didn't explain, she would have to think more.

She was quite good at chatting on weekdays, but something happened today. It was probably because George Sheng was too difficult to chat with, so she forced herself to chat awkwardly: I have a flight back to Night City tomorrow, will it take up your time? If you're in a hurry, I can change the date.

George Sheng's voice was lukewarm: No, I've booked a ticket for tomorrow too.

Song Xi added: If you feel tired, you can rest in the hotel. I have been to Macau before, and I can go around alone.

George Sheng was silent for a moment, his thin lips slowly opened, and he said in a low voice: You talk a lot.

Song Xi looked away indifferently and whispered: Let's chat.

With the back of her head facing George Sheng, Song Xi pretended to be looking at the street scene outside, but in fact she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.

After knowing him for a long time, I gradually figured out some ways to get along with him. If I want to 'coexist peacefully' with George Sheng, don't listen to what he says, just watch what he does.

The words she just said were half sincere and three and a half parts probing. Now that the probing has come out, Song Xi feels warm and sweet in her heart.

From the moment she saw George Sheng, Song Xi felt inexplicably that the sunshine in Macau was so nice and warmed her body.

The driver took the two of them to the Venetian Casino. As soon as Song Xi got off the car, she saw that the door was full of tourists taking pictures. She kindly reminded: Are you sure there are fewer people here than on the street?

George Sheng replied: Don't you know that some places stop tourists?

Song Xi said angrily: Official family members were seen entering and leaving the casino, and it would be an unnecessary commotion when they go back. I have been to Macau several times and have never entered the casino gate.

George Sheng heard the mockery in her words and said, Not anymore, you can do whatever you want.

Just say, I will support you.

Hearing this, Song Xi raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile: I just won the competition. Yuan Bao and Tong Hao both said that I must have been very lucky recently. I will show off my skills later to see if I can win 20 million and go back and take over the house. Bought.

She was joking, but George Sheng could hear a hint of sadness. Song Xi was thinking about Song Yuanqing all the time. In order not to cause trouble for him, she didn't even go near the casino when she came to Macau. However, Song Yuanqing was reported for corruption and bribery. , no wonder her tone was sarcastic.

George Sheng is a VIP customer here. He walks directly past the crowded lobby on the first floor and goes to the VIP box upstairs.

There are all kinds of gambling tables in the private room, but without the hustle and bustle downstairs, it is particularly quiet.

Song Xi asked someone to exchange 10,000 yuan in chips. George Sheng couldn't help but said, Want to take 10,000 yuan and win 20 million yuan?

Song Xi wandered around various tables, replying: What do you think of those lottery players who won five million? It only costs a few dollars. Gambling is a matter of luck. Even if you take out twenty million, you may not be able to win. If you win again, it will reach 20 million.

Turning her head, she smiled at George Sheng: Maybe I will lose more.

George Sheng was sitting on the sofa nearby. When he heard this, he looked at her indifferently and said in a low voice: I have never seen you so unlucky. When you come to the casino, you don't shout about winning. You always talk about losing.

Song Xi looked at the 10,000-yuan chip next to him and suddenly said with a smile: If you have money, you won't be short of money.

George Sheng saw her spinning around so much that he felt dizzy and asked aloud, Are you having fun or not?

Song Xi replied: I don't know how to play.

Yes, George Sheng remembered that she had never been to a casino.

Each VIP box has a dedicated dealer. The female dealer politely asked Song Xi what she was interested in, and she could introduce how to play.

George Sheng was sitting on the sofa, flipping through newspapers and magazines. Not far away was the female dealer's voice, and from time to time Song Xi's words came from him: Yes, I understand.

When it comes to casinos, the first thing that comes to mind is that they are smoky or full of people. The people at the card table are either sweating or as steady as a rock. Few people have seen this scene. There are only a few people in the huge box. George Sheng is watching things quietly. , the waiters on the side were also waiting quietly. Song Xi was quietly placing bets on the card table, and occasionally only the dealer's voice could be heard.

It can be said that the typical Buddhist system has taken a gamble, and everyone is pure and devoid of desires. If another song of the Great Compassion Mantra can be played, it may be more suitable for the occasion.

Why……

Half an hour later, as Song Xi sighed, George Sheng raised his head and looked at her.

Song Xi sat at the table, holding half of his face with his left hand and a chip in his right hand, with a sad face and hesitation.

George Sheng had never gone to see her before, but listening to the dealer's words, he also knew that Song Xi's gambling skills corresponded to the saying: nine times out of ten bets, she loses.

Closing the things in his hands, George Sheng finally couldn't stand it anymore. He stood up and came behind Song Xi. Just as Song Xi was about to place a bet, he suddenly stretched out a hand from behind with long fingers, snatched the chips from her hand, and changed the bet she originally wanted to place. For leisure.

After buying the deal, the dealer started the game, and sure enough, the player won.

Song Xi was overjoyed, turned to look at George Sheng, and asked, How do you know Xian will win?

George Sheng opened her thin lips lightly: Because you are stupid.

Song Xi caught a glimpse of the croupier from the corner of his eye, and immediately put away his smile, and glanced at George Sheng in feigned anger: You are awesome and capable, then you can help me bet a few times to see if you are smart or lucky.

George Sheng pulled up a chair and sat down next to Song Xi.
