Looking back on the miracle

Sure enough, once women arrive in shopping paradise, don't expect them to be sane.There are about eleven or twelve people in a group, and only three women, but by [-] o'clock in the evening, the men have already filled their hands-naturally, their own, three "female military advisers" will help the wives at home Gifts from relatives and friends of children.

I was worrying about how to continue playing after taking so many things. Someone from the hotel drove a car to transport all the things back. It happened that an uncle in his forties was a little tired after walking all the way. He went back with the car and dropped by Put things in his room first.

Everyone laughed and praised Peter for his thoughtfulness who left in a hurry just now.

Chen Guanlin and a colleague laughed and said a few words, and when they turned around, they saw Zhou Xiwen standing under a decorative lamp by the door of a shop, looking at him with arms crossed, half a smile.

Chen Guanlin pushed the glasses frame, looked left and right but didn't look at Zhou Xiwen.

this person...

Zhou Xiwen secretly thought it was funny, even people in their 50s haven't learned how to hide themselves.

The glib Taiwanese colleague pointed to the destination ahead - Hell Bar - a group of people talked and laughed and walked forward.

Chen Guanlin naturally walked behind, after all, he was just following.

Among this group of people, he and the uncle who just left are middle-aged, and the others are all young people in their thirties, and he can't chat with others.

It's just that Zhou Xiwen also slowed down, and it didn't take long for the two of them to walk side by side.

"Guanlin, what did you rent a car for?" She asked in a low voice, with a little warmth in her voice.

Chen Guanlin was embarrassed, but said honestly: "I'm going to invite you to go around."

But it has never come in handy.

Zhou Xiwen rolled up his large wool coat, and when he heard him tell the truth, he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.

Thinking about my bad attitude towards him these few days because of his concessions and compromises, I was secretly vigilant—Chen Guanlin was never someone of yours, so I have no reason to bear your willfulness and unhappiness.

So Zhou Xiwen smiled, "Thank you, Guanlin."

The man stood still and opened his mouth slightly in surprise.

"Actually, you really don't have to do so many things. Simon's matter has nothing to do with you, and you don't owe me anything. If it's just out of friendship, let me tell the truth, I'm not used to being comforted, give me Take a moment to be quiet and trust me to be fine, okay?"

Only then did Chen Guanlin really laugh—his first really happy smile after arriving in Switzerland—and easily put his hands in his pockets, "I believe." They walked side by side, and Chen Guanlin felt that there was no need to talk about it quietly It actually feels good to walk for a while.

Almost at the entrance of the bar, Chen Guanlin said, "Then you don't want to go to the bar, let's go back first. Now..." He pursed his lips and shrugged his shoulders to pretend helplessness, "You don't have to avoid me anymore."

Zhou Xiwen raised her eyebrows, "Who said I don't want to go?" She walked into the bar first.

Chen Guanlin muttered: "Who said before that I don't like the noise in bars?" He couldn't help but smiled and shook his head, and followed.

@@

The lights in the bar were not particularly dim, and the colorful lights were spinning and flickering, making Chen Guanlin a little dizzy.

He squeezed past, and friends in the corner waved to him.

"Where's Xiwen?" As soon as he sat down, a beer was stuffed in his hand.Looking around but not seeing Zhou Xiwen, Chen Guanlin asked Charlie.

"Take a look, I can only see Hyacinth (Note: The host made up the English name in Greek, the birthday flower hyacinth on January 1th), why didn't you see where our other two beauties went?" Charlie joked.

Chen Guanlin was slightly embarrassed.Sure enough, the three girls were not there.

"Oh... where did Abby and Helen go?" The dean Baobao followed suit.

"The three of them are going to the bathroom. Hey, Dean Chen, tell me the truth, is Miss Zhou your girlfriend?" Charlie leaned over and smiled meanly.

"...No, what's the matter?" Chen Guanlin raised his vigilance.

Charlie patted Chen Guanlin on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "That's good, since I'm not a friend's wife, my prodigal son Ye Rui'an is going to make a move."

"What are you talking about!" Chen Guanlin suddenly became angry.

"Oh~ so it's not 'not a girlfriend', it's 'not a girlfriend'~" Another colleague laughed, "Hey, Ye Daluobo, don't provoke Miss Zhou, I'm afraid you will be caught by Dean Chen later." Ko a meal, hahaha..."

No matter how intelligent and educated a man is, they can only talk about two things when they get together in a bar like a bar, drinking and women.Chen Guanlin was never used to these things, but he became the center of the topic and was teased by everyone for a long time.

But also helpless.

Firstly, there is no malice, and secondly, everyone is in the same business, so how can you turn your face just because of a few jokes?

@@@@

While talking, the three ladies came back.

Zhou Xiwen was naturally sitting next to Chen Guanlin, the man glanced at him twice - he found it strange at the first glance and then realized it at the second - "Changed clothes?"

It turned out that Zhou Xiwen had taken off her coat, and inside was a slightly tight leather jacket and leather pants. He swept it away, and if there was not a white bottoming shirt underneath, a part of her waist would be exposed.Naturally, the black-rimmed glasses he was wearing were replaced with invisible ones.

"Yeah, I just bought it when I saw it and thought it would suit the bar, and I changed it in the store." Zhou Xiwen was a little amused, "Guanlin, your observation skills are really..." Terrible!

"Just now I went to the bathroom to change my glasses and touch up my makeup. We were all afraid of something, so we went together. Understand? Don't worry?" Zhou Xiwen looked at Chen Guanlin blushing with satisfaction, and suddenly felt that he was full of bad humor— —Chen Guanlin!You already like meddling things more than my dad, you know! ! !Although I don't want to be with you anymore, I also don't want to be a generation lower than you. . . .

Everyone chatted, farted and drank.Ye Daluobo (full name should be Yeda Huaxin Radish) is indeed a bit "wolf-hearted", squeezed on the other side of Zhou Xiwen, kept telling jokes to make her happy, and then said that he wanted to play, who would lose and drink? .

Chen Guanlin didn't like this way - he didn't like any games that had a sexual connotation. Zhou Xiwen had been quite busy in the past few years and hadn't played much. Naturally, the two of them were the key targets of other people's siege.

However, Chen Guanlin's mental arithmetic ability is quite strong, and his reaction is also very fast, so he can guess other people's cards very accurately.It's just that he doesn't like to be competitive, so he just keeps on not losing, and he called when he could not raise

On the contrary, Zhou Xiwen was in a hurry the first few times and drank a few glasses of beer after losing. Fortunately, he slowly felt the feeling later, and instead often poured others.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Ye Ruian suggested that he would "single out" with Zhou Xiwen.

"Hyacinth, don't be fooled. Ye Daluo is a very good drinker. He lost, we didn't punish him for drinking, we invited him to drink, he was so happy." The colleague who came with Ye Rui'an smiled and pierced The evil heart of his own boss. "If you really want to compare with him, whoever loses the truth or dare."

Everyone booed, Zhou Xiwen thought he was out to play, and the punishment would not be too much even if he lost, so he agreed.

Chen Guanlin was so nervous beside him.

Zhou Xiwen often played this game with her classmates when she was in college. After all, it really takes intelligence to play well, so she is quite good at it.But I haven't touched this for many years, and Ye Daluobo is obviously an old hand, and it's quite difficult to play.

After going back and forth several times, Xiwen finally failed in his dying struggle and lost.

"How about it, Hyacinth, do you want to tell the truth, or take a big risk?" Ye Daluobo made a hideous look.

"Let me listen." Zhou Xiwen said with a smile, not too worried.

"The truth..." Ye Rui'an glanced at Chen Guanlin, it seemed that he was not just flirting, but really wanted to chase Zhou Xiwen, "Do you like Dean Chen?"

Chen Guanlin frowned slightly.

The corners of Zhou Xiwen's mouth froze slightly, and he kept smiling and said, "What about the big adventure?"

Ye Rui'an seemed to have guessed that she would say, "Dance with me."

He pouted, and a group of men and women on the dance floor were dancing very high, shaking their heads and arms.

Zhou Xiwen's smile faded, "I can't dance."

Ye Rui'an smiled triumphantly, "I don't believe it. How could it be possible that the vice president of the hip-hop dance club at the University of Virginia can't dance reggae?"

Zhou Xiwen was really angry, and laughed instead, "I didn't expect that Mr. Ye not only opened a hospital, but also opened a detective agency."

"Well, well," Ye Rui'an raised his hand to express his innocence, "I'm not that capable, but Miss Zhou is a famous person, and I'm an unknown underachiever, you just don't remember me. Well, it seems Find a friend to set up a bridge."

Zhou Xiwen frowned, the other companions had already left to play after being greeted by Ye Ruian's subordinates, and there were only the three of them here.

Chen Guanlin thought to himself—Is Ye Ruian an alumnus of Zhou Xiwen?

The two subconsciously looked at each other, then looked at Ye Daluobo, stood up and searched, then squeezed off the dance floor to bring someone up.

"Jack?"

As soon as an extremely tall and handsome mixed-race man came under the lamp, Zhou Xiwen cried out in surprise, rushed over and hugged the laughing handsome man.

@@

"I haven't seen you for many years. Aren't you in the United States? Why are you here?" Before he could sit still, Zhou Xiwen hurriedly started asking questions.

"I have already quit my job in the United States. It just so happens that Ye Daluobo wants me to start a grand career with him. It doesn't matter to me, so I just come over to travel and talk to him about cooperation. Who would have thought that he would meet An alumnus from Singapore, I just knew it was you." Jack Luo is of Chinese-American descent, his father is Taiwanese, he and Zhou Xiwen are alumni, and he is also the president of the hip-hop club.

Everyone was crazy when they were young, and Zhou Xiwen was no exception.Dragging her luggage into the campus, Zhou Xiwen saw someone dancing in the square and stopped to watch out of curiosity. She was abducted into the hip-hop club founded by Luo Jieke, who was familiar with him, and her journey of "being wild" began from then on. .

Until Roger graduated and left school, the relationship between the two has been very good, and they have kept in touch over the years.

"...Alright, to be honest, I'm a little surprised that you can stay in the hospital for eight years. You're not the type to spend so long in one place." Zhou Xiwen was busy reminiscing about the past, so he naturally ignored Ye Rui'an . "Let me introduce, Guanlin, this is my senior, Jack, Luo Hui. Jack, this is my colleague, Yikang Dean Chen Guanlin."

Only then did Luo Jie cast his eyes on Chen Guanlin, his eyes lighted up for a moment.

This man is over half a century old, with an extraordinary bearing, the most simple and monotonous white shirt is just right on him - it will not overwhelm the host and can bring out his simple and elegant temperament.The man simply sat on the sofa with a beer in hand, his posture was casual, but it gave people a sense of elegance and calmness.

"Hello, Mr. Chen." Roger held out his hand.

Chen Guanlin nodded with a smile, and reached out to shake hands. He didn't think much about it at first, but he was polite because he was Zhou Xiwen's friend.

In fact, he didn't like the Roger in front of him very much—there were a few large characters flashing on his body from head to toe: Feng, Liu, Gong, Zi...

Luo Jieke showed his most charming smile, but found that Chen Guanlin was only faint, raised his eyebrows, and sat down next to Chen Guanlin, looking very natural.

"Ahem, Jack...don't bully him." Zhou Xiwen glared at Luo Jieke, and his voice was very low for the last few words.

"How could it be? Dean Chen is such a character. I can't even get close to him. How can I bully him? What's more, I'm afraid Dean Chen can't be bullied by me, haha." Although Luo Jieke is of mixed race, My big hobby is reading traditional Chinese novels, and my speaking style is weird...

Zhou Xiwen raised his forehead secretly, he really should look at the almanac when he goes out today.

Although Chen Guanlin didn't quite understand, he also realized that this person probably had some kind of interest in him.

Perhaps for his friend?

Chen Guanlin couldn't help but think so as his eyes swept over Ye Rui'an who was smiling smirkingly.

Recalling the "truth" question that Ye Ruian asked Zhou Xiwen just now, Chen Guanlin pondered to himself—what is wrong with the interaction between himself and Xiwen, which made Ye Ruian ask this question...

For a moment, he didn't know how he felt in his heart, and what answer he hoped to hear.

"How about it, dear, elegant and beautiful Miss Hyacinth, I would like to admit defeat~" Ye Rui'an smiled triumphantly.

Zhou Xiwen hesitated, "What if I don't want to choose either?"

"Wow... isn't it? After all, you are also the executive director of Yikang Hospital, how can you not count your words?" Ye Rui'an made a state of "on the verge of weeping".

Zhou Xiwen felt a headache—what's wrong with this man?

"Okay, since I can choose, I choose the big adventure, jump..."

"Wait a minute." Just as Zhou Xiwen was about to "take the lesser of two evils", Chen Guanlin, who had been silent at the side, interrupted her.He looked at Ye Rui'an seriously, and said: "Mr. Ye, I will compete with you again. If I win, your bet just now will be cancelled. If I lose, uh...Truth or Dare, I will both Do it, how about it?" Chen Guanlin pushed his glasses, "Everyone is just for entertainment, the purpose should be to make everyone happy, what do you think?"

He meant something.Whether Ye Rui'an likes Xiwen and wants to get her attention, or he just wants to cause trouble, taking the baton himself is enough for him to divert the fire.

Sure enough, Ye Rui'an had a wicked smile on his lips, "Okay. How can I refuse Dean Chen's invitation?" He glanced at Zhou Xiwen and Luo Jieke, and narrowed his eyes.

Ye Rui'an is still very confident in his skills.And he has been paying attention to Chen Guanlin, and found that he is just a novice, and he is probably very serious and rarely plays poker, and his skills are very average.It's easy to beat him by yourself-don't say that novices are lucky, people with poor skills have no luck at all.At that time, he can be generous and lightly punished. While showing his demeanor in front of the girls, he can also attack his competitors. Maybe he can create some opportunities for Jack, hehehe.

"Guanlin..." Zhou Xiwen was a little moved and uneasy, she knew that Chen Guanlin had never played poker before.If he loses, wouldn't it be hard for him to be made things difficult for him?

"It's okay." The man smiled lightly, took off his coat and unbuttoned his collar, "Let's get started." He looked at Ye Rui'an and said politely.

"Has Dean Chen ever played sex before?" Ye Rui'an asked.

Chen Guanlin thought for a while, then nodded, "I've played in Las Vegas a few times."

He seemed to be thinking of something unpleasant, and complex emotions flashed across his eyes.

In fact, Chen Guanlin remembered what happened shortly after he and she went to the United States.

Their super-long honeymoon trip has traveled to many places in the United States, and the casino is also a famous scenic spot, so it is naturally on the list.

However, Chen Guanlin and Xiaoman went there purely to see the western scenery, and they chose the most formal large-scale casino in Las Vegas. In short, they just "see the world".

In fact, Chen Guanlin didn't have the slightest liking for □□—too many people lost their fortunes, ruined their families, and took risks because of this.Not to mention, if Kevin, who they have all dealt with but avoided talking about, hadn't gone to the gambling table and lost all his savings, and then got deeper and deeper, he might have continued to be a well-behaved man. Office workers, married and have children, life is plain and happy.

It's just that Xiaoman, who should be very tired of this for some reason, showed a strong interest, so of course Chen Guanlin would not spoil her interest - even if he lost tens of thousands of dollars, it would not hurt him.However, Xiaoman seemed to be really only interested. In the casino, the two exchanged 500 US dollars of chips like buying lottery tickets, and they were going to leave when they lost all.

What if you win money?Haha, Chen Guanlin never thought about this possibility. He always remembered that out of ten bets, nine losers. Both of them are rookies, so why win!

However...Chen Guanlin was curious for a while, or to be more precise, Xiaoman was curious for a while. He sat at the blackjack table, thinking that he would lose 21 dollars and get out of the way, but he won eight out of ten rounds.

Maybe there is an element of luck, but more of it is his calm concentration and calculation ability-that's how powerful a neurologist who can't help but get serious!

However, Chen Guanlin also made the dealers and players at the whole table laugh to death.I have never seen a gambler who is so lucky but always only bets a fixed value in each game. Hey~

What they don't know is that Chen Guanlin only has so many chips, no more, no less.

So, Chen Guanlin is not a gambler, he is just a habitual and serious tourist.Maybe his wife's cheers every time the poised and super stylish win made him more happy than the money.

After 21 rounds at 10:[-], the banker suggested with a smile to Chen Guanlin to try □□, and the players at the same table also kindly laughed and agreed.So Xiaoman, who was full of confidence in Chen Guanlin, dragged him to the poker table.

After observing the two rounds and understanding the rules, Chen Guanlin sat down, and until only his "little fish" and the opposite "shark" were left in this no-limit round, the hunter and the prey switched identities.

When he returned to normal from the state of going all out, he found that the person on the opposite side was lost to the extreme in an instant.

He didn't hear the croupier's words clearly, but he saw that the man was grabbed by two men in black just as he stood up. The man shook off the man in black, said something, straightened his clothes and went out.

"and many more."

Chen Guanlin stopped the man.

It was a gentle man, probably in his thirties, although he was numb in pain and his face was ashamed, he still nodded at him gracefully, and he didn't feel resentful because Chen Guanlin won him. "Sir, what's the matter?" The man's voice was pleasant and full of bookishness.

"Did you borrow money?" Chen Guanlin squeezed through the fanatics at the poker table and asked standing in front of the man.

The man showed a painful expression for a while, but quickly restrained himself, "Yes."

He answered seriously, but the man in black around him urged him, but he smiled, "Maybe he is the last person I talk to, shouldn't you give me this chance?"

Chen Guanlin sighed softly, "Why? You don't look like a gambler." Even though this man needed money, he didn't play psychological tactics, and he didn't kill all the small fish on the table.

Suddenly, the man who had been silently enduring the pressure of money and the pain of betrayal had an impulse to tell the truth to Chen Guanlin, "I didn't borrow it, it was my... important person."

"How much did you borrow?"

Chen Guanlin was only silent for a moment, he raised his hand to take the chip box in Xiaoman's hand, and asked.

"..." The man was silent for a long time before he spoke, "One hundred thousand."

If it is in a casino in Macau, this number may refer to Hong Kong dollars, but in Las Vegas, it naturally refers to US dollars.

Chen Guanlin glanced at the chip box, and calculated in his mind that the colorful chips probably add up to about [-].

And he only took $500 to get in.

When I got off the blackjack table, the $21 had been doubled 500 times, and when I went to the sng table, it was doubled again two hours later.

This startled Chen Guanlin, it's a lot of money, no wonder so many people can't refuse the temptation.

He had to admit that he was really lucky today.For example, the man in front of him lost to a 7% probability—no one would have thought that there was a 7 on the river and Chen Guanlin made a straight flush.

"Hold it." Chen Guanlin gave the chip box to the man—in fact, there was a probability of more than [-]% that the chips there should belong to this man—and took out the check folder to write a check. "This is my contact information. You can pay me back if you have money. However, I hope that the money you pay me back is not won from the poker table."
