I open the card pool all over the universe

According to Ke Jin's words, he walked for a while, and finally saw the destination of his trip - "Guo Yun" fruit card pool.

After all, it was once the first SSR card pool full of honors. This card pool occupies a huge area, and the gate alone can be described as "magnificent".However, the paint on the tall gate posts erected on both sides of the courtyard gate has peeled off, and the color is no longer as bright as before, giving people a sense of vicissitudes and decline.

Ke Jin walked into the courtyard, the wide courtyard was like a small square, the floor was paved with neat and simple stone bricks, black and white floor tiles outlined a large pattern on the ground, Ke Jin looked at it for a while before realizing that it was Kachi The totem—maybe it can also be called a "trademark".

At the end of the courtyard, there stands a quaint tall building, which is three stories high, but like the gateposts of the courtyard, it gives people a dusty feeling because of neglect.At first glance, this building looks like a Japanese-style shrine. It is open on all sides, and the layout inside can be seen at a glance-there are three things like shrines, neatly arranged in three rows, and in front of each shrine. There is also a long table, with some blessing slogans hanging above, and things like tributes placed below.

Ke Jin felt that it was novel, and after a few more glances, he finally realized——Shit, this is actually Kachi Xiaoting?Those "shrines" are actually independent card-drawing rooms, right? ?

Thinking about the lonely small pavilion in his small courtyard, and looking at the tall buildings in front of him, Ke Jin suddenly felt like he was comparing the "new upstart" with the "old rich and famous family".

"Sir, are you here to draw cards?"

Ke Jin turned his head subconsciously when there was a questioning sound in his ear, and found an uncle with a kind face standing in a corner of the courtyard, holding a big broom in his hand, as if he was cleaning the fallen leaves in the courtyard.Before Ke Jin could answer, the other party was slightly taken aback after seeing Ke Jin's face clearly.

"Eh? Are you Mr. Ke Jin?"

"You are……?"

"I'm the card renewer here, you can call me Uncle Zhou." The uncle smiled kindly, "I went to your card pool during the autumn festival and met you at that time." He said and put the broom in the On one side, he yelled at the other side.

"Yufeng, look who's here!"

Ke Jin was taken aback for a moment—bath wind?Su Yufeng?He is here today?

Red-leaf maple trees are planted all around the courtyard. The trunks are tall and thick, and they are obviously very old.As soon as Uncle Zhou finished speaking, Ke Jin saw a tree and slowly walked out a person, it was Su Yufeng in long clothes and trousers.He was also holding a broom. He might have been sweeping behind a tree just now, so Ke Jin didn't see it.

Different from the alienation shown in the exchange meeting before, Su Yufeng did not ignore Ke Jin this time, but nodded to him. Although his face was still expressionless, at least he was expressing welcome.

"You two are quite familiar, so I won't introduce any more." Uncle Zhou said with a smile, "Mr. Ke Jin, you made a special trip here today, probably not to draw cards? I'm going to make some tea, let's sit down and have a drink later." chat."

Ke Jin: "..."

Wait, more familiar?Are you talking about him and Su Yufeng?But the last time they met, they didn't say a word at all, how could they be more familiar!

But Uncle Zhou had already walked away. Judging from the man's brisk footsteps, he seemed to be in a very good mood.There were no customers at the moment, and only Ke Jin and Su Yufeng were left in the empty yard. Due to Su Yufeng's illness, Ke Jin dared not speak rashly for a while, so he could only smile at him reluctantly.

I don't know if it's because of his own territory, but Su Yufeng seemed quite natural and easy-going today. He moved the broom aside, then pointed to a stone table under the maple tree, and looked at Ke Jin silently.

Uh...do you mean to let me sit over?

Ke Jin sat in front of the stone table a little cautiously, and Su Yufeng soon sat down next to him, and after he sat down, he kept staring at Ke Jin, making Ke Jin who was already very embarrassed even more at a loss.

"Uh... I really didn't expect to see you here." The atmosphere of Xianggu Wuyan was too embarrassing, Ke Jin reflexively asked when he was nervous, "You, how are you now?"

Ah ah ah ah ah!What a stupid question to ask yourself! ——Ke Jin regretted it as soon as he finished speaking——Knowing that Su Yufeng couldn't speak, he still asked him about his health. Isn't this just looking for a fight? !

But unexpectedly, the young man did not stare at Ke Jin with the cold and penetrating gaze as he did in the previous exchange meeting. Instead, there was a trace of human confusion in the exposed eye. He took out a writing tablet from his body as if by magic, Scribbled a few words on it with a pen.

——[Why didn't you expect to see me here?Didn't you come here specially to find me? 】

Eh?Is he not angry?And...it doesn't seem to be disgusted with communicating with people?

Ke Jin was surprised in his heart, and looked at Su Yufeng carefully for a few more times before speaking again.

"I came to see you." Ke Jin said, "But I heard that you are not often in Kachi, so I thought it would take a long time to see you."

The corner of Su Yufeng's mouth rose briefly, as if he was smiling slightly.However, he quickly returned to his puppet-like flat expression, making Ke Jin feel that the fleeting "smile" just now was just his own illusion.

——【What do you want from me? 】

Seeing the words on the handwriting board, Ke Jin finally made sure that the other party didn't dislike such communication, so he relaxed and explained his reason for coming.

Su Yufeng listened carefully, thought for a while, and wrote on the tablet.

——[I don't know much about this, you can ask Uncle Zhou for details. 】

Ke Jin nodded, and asked curiously, "Is Uncle Zhou the only employee on your side?"

——[He is the only long-term one, and the rest are part-timers, who only come here occasionally. 】

Sure enough, it is similar to most of the local card pools in Qixing City, Ke Jin thought.This is also impossible, after all, most of the card pools usually have very little customer flow, so there is really no need to hire long-term card masters.

During the conversation, Uncle Zhou came out with a tea tray. After he put down the tray, Su Yufeng naturally picked up a cup of fruit tea and handed it to Ke Jin.

Unexpectedly, the other party would bring tea to him in person, Ke Jin was stunned for a moment before hurriedly taking it: "Ah, thank you."

When Su Yufeng stretched out his hand, the corner of the cuff turned up slightly, and Ke Jin saw a few hideous scars exposed under the sleeve of the other party, and his heart tightened.

This is left over from a car accident...

Thinking of Secretary Xiaobai's words, Ke Jin didn't dare to show his expression of pity and sympathy, and took the teacup as if nothing had happened, and a sweet scent of flowers and fruits rushed over his face, which made him take a deep breath and exclaimed in admiration.

"It's so fragrant. Hehe, it really has the characteristics of your fruit card pool. Even the tea you drink is fruit tea."

"The fruits in the tea are indeed from our Kachi." Uncle Zhou said with a smile. There were several plates of juicy fresh fruits on the tray, and the man put them on the table one by one. "These are all SSR-quality fruits, Ke Mr. Jin, it’s rare for you to come here, you must try it.”

"Uncle Zhou, don't call me 'Mr. Ke' anymore, just call me Xiao Ke." Ke Jin said shyly, "If you are free, you must come and sit with me, I also want to treat you well what about you."

"We went." Uncle Zhou took a sip of tea with a smile, and glanced at Su Yufeng beside him, "Yufeng has been there several times."

……Um? ?

Ke Jin immediately looked at Su Yufeng. The young man took a few cherries, lowered his eyelashes as if he hadn't heard Uncle Zhou's words, and ate slowly, without looking at Ke Jin at all.

"Huh? Little Ke, don't you know?" Uncle Zhou was also taken aback for a moment. He looked at Ke Jin, then at Su Yufeng, and then said "Oh" as if suddenly realized.

"When Yufeng goes out alone, he's a little shy, so he didn't take the initiative to say hello to you." Uncle Zhou said and patted Su Yufeng's shoulder lightly, like a loving father comforting his introverted child. "Next time, you can't be so sneaky. Now that you've gone, just go up and say hello. Didn't you also say that Xiao Ke is very kind?"

Shy when going out alone?Ke Jin looked at Su Yufeng in surprise, but the other party's head was lowered, and his long hair completely covered his face, revealing only the delicate and delicate jawline, and the tightly pursed pale pink lips.

So at the exchange meeting... It wasn't that Su Yufeng ignored him on purpose, but he didn't dare to respond to him?

Ke Jin suddenly realized, and immediately felt sad and funny.

Secretary Xiaobai and the others were afraid of poking Su Yufeng's sadness, so they didn't dare to get close to him, but in fact, this kid really hopes that others can communicate with him normally, right?So the other party mistook my rash words for "kindness", and then secretly went to Kachi to see me, but unfortunately I never found out in time.

"Yufeng, you are welcome to come and play with me often." Ke Jin curled his lips and smiled gently, "But you must tell me next time, friends don't need to be so secretive, what do you think? "

Su Yufeng slowly raised his head, his brown eyes looked at Ke Jin silently for a long time, and then nodded slightly.

***

The three of them chatted for a while, and when Uncle Zhou asked Ke Jin the reason for his visit, Ke Jin told the truth again.

"Oh? Are you already preparing to open a chain card pool?" Uncle Zhou said with interest, "Have you figured out where to open the first branch?"

Ke Jin shook his head: "I'm not very familiar with the cities in Chikongzhou, and I'm still in the understanding stage."

"We did open chain card pools before. At that time there were ten chain pools in Chikongzhou. Unfortunately, something happened later... so we closed them one by one." Referring to the past, Uncle Zhou was very calm, without any frustration or failure. Lonely, "Yufeng was still young at that time, and he didn't participate much. The chain card pool was mainly planned and developed by me and his father. It's just that it's been so long, and I don't know if you can still use the experience at that time."

When Ke Jin came here, he had already learned about Su Yufeng's situation in advance, and knew that before him, the owner of this card pool was actually his father, and it was only because of his father's accident that he took on the responsibility of running it.

"It doesn't matter." Ke Jin humbly asked for advice, "Some experience is always valuable, and I will choose it on my own. You can say whatever you want."

Uncle Zhou nodded, took a sip of flower and fruit tea, and then began to talk about the events of the year in detail.

Ke Jin listened very carefully, and would write down a few notes in the notebook he carried with him from time to time, while Su Yufeng sat quietly at the side, occasionally writing a few words on the handwriting board for Ke Jin to read, as a supplement for Uncle Zhou Details of the year.

Time passed quickly, and it was almost noon after Uncle Zhou finished talking about everything he could think of.

"Let's stay and have a meal at noon." Uncle Zhou looked at the time and said enthusiastically, "Xiao Lan will come back later, more people will make it more lively."

"Xiao Lan?"

"Oh, it's Yufeng's younger sister." Uncle Zhou explained, "You should have seen her before, and she has visited your card pool quite a few times. She was the first to say that there is a very good snack card pool in Qixing City. , we know about you."

As soon as Uncle Zhou finished speaking, a crisp voice came from outside the gate.

"Uncle Zhou! What bad things did you say behind my back?"

Ke Jin turned his head and saw a girl in the uniform of Xingchen International School hopping and running into the yard. If Su Yufeng's demeanor was handsome and gloomy, this girl's demeanor was enthusiastic and flamboyant. After entering the courtyard, it seemed that the sun was shining brightly, which made people's eyes brighten.

"Eh? Mr. Ke, Mr. Ke?!" Su Xiaolan ran closer, only to see who was talking to Uncle Zhou, she was stunned, "You, why did you come?"

As she spoke, she immediately looked at her brother, but Su Yufeng just drank the fruit tea calmly, as if he had nothing to do with him.

"I remember you." Ke Jin felt that the girl was somewhat familiar just now, and after searching the memory carefully, he immediately patted his palm, "Ah! Last time I asked Teacher Jiang Siyu about the admission, did you and her Sitting at the same table?"

Su Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, then pulled her ponytail with a smile: "Mr. Ke, you have a really good memory, you still remember what happened so long ago."

"I didn't expect you to be Su Yufeng's younger sister." Ke Jin sighed, "What a coincidence."

"Xiao Lan, it's not time for school to end yet, why did you come back so early?" Uncle Zhou asked.

"I don't have to go to class today." Su Xiaolan sat down at the stone table with a big grin, picked a purple grape and threw it into her mouth, "I've been doing hygiene all morning... well, I'll sneak away after I finish my part." Come back, hahaha."

"Don't you have to go to class today?" Ke Jin was taken aback—why didn't he hear Uno mention it?

"Eh? Didn't the little friend who lives in your house tell you?" When Ke Jin asked about Jiang Siyu's enrollment last time, Su Xiaolan was sitting by the side, and naturally knew the relationship between Uno and Ke Jin, "A few days ago Just finished the mid-term exam, released the results and cleaned the campus this morning, held a parent meeting in the afternoon, the teachers should have sent messages to the parents..."

Ke Jin almost jumped up: "Parents meeting?! This afternoon???"

"Yes." Su Xiaolan nodded, "You can look through the message records of the communicator, every time the school will send messages to parents in advance... Uh, maybe you have too many spam messages on your side, and you didn't see them ?”

Ke Jin: "..."

Ke Jin doesn't even need to look at it. Every day before going to bed, he will carefully read through the unread messages, and it is impossible to miss them.I don't know about this, the biggest possibility is Uno's doing it - he has so many weird cards, intercepting a message is nothing, maybe he can't even get a call from the teacher Woolen cloth!

No wonder I said today that I was going to pick up Uno, but this brat refused to live or die... So he was waiting here!

Ke Jin was really speechless and funny, and secretly said——

Very good, the more you stop me from going...the more I have to go and see today!
