Looking back on the miracle

"...Dean Chen?" Ye Rui'an called.

Chen Guanlin recovered from the unfinished memory, "Sorry, what?"

"No limit, how about it?" Ye Rui'an shook the cards in his hand.

"can."

There are props such as chip cards in the bar, of course they are just props and do not represent any value.The two had 10 chips with a face value of 100 in their hands, and Roger acted as the croupier to re-deal the cards. Each of the five community cards had two hole cards.Ye Rui'an continued to maintain that sloppy feeling, as if he didn't take it seriously at all. "Raise."

He looked at the hole cards and dropped 2 cards.

I don't know when the colleagues all came back and gathered around to watch the battle.

Chen Guanlin has a very serious expression on his face, er, how should I put it, it looks like he is undergoing an operation.He looked at the hole cards, "call." He also dropped two chips.

As the game was going on, the two kept changing their strategies, and the colleagues around them were discussing in low voices. Most of them didn't expect Chen Guanlin to persist for so long without losing.

Ye Rui'an has been watching Chen Guanlin's expression, but he is disappointed, he can't see any difference in this person's expression, as if he is facing a surgery that is sure to win.

Finally came the moment to decide the winner. At this time, the chips of the two were about [-]-[-], and Chen Guanlin was [-].Ye Rui'an's carefree expression finally calmed down a bit, he glanced at the cards on the table again, thought for a while, "All in."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Guanlin, a little narrow and provocative.

Chen Guanlin glanced at the hole cards again, and suddenly he, who had been extremely serious, also showed a smile, "All in."

All the chips were pushed to the middle of the table, and Roger felt that this was the most tense no-money game he had ever seen.He cleared his throat, "Then I'm going to flop."

10, 10, 6, a...

If the last card is K, then Ye Rui'an can make three of a kind and win against Chen Guanlin; if not, the gamble that lasted for nearly an hour can be over.

And that probability is... slightly less than 50%.

Roger took out a tissue to wipe off the sweat on his hands, and turned over the river card.

Ye Ruian turned over his hole cards, followed by Chen Guanlin.

"Block a... Dean Chen wins."

Ye Rui'an dropped the two playing cards, stood up and stretched out his hand: "You are a good poker player."

Chen Guanlin smiled, and shook hands with Ye Rui'an, "I'm lucky today...excuse me."

He tilted his head to Zhou Xiwen, who had been nervous all the time but tried to keep a straight face and was only now relaxed, nodded, got up and went to the bathroom.

@@

The bathroom is very quiet, it seems to be lit with lavender essence, which smells nice.Chen Guanlin picked up the water and washed his face, then looked up at himself in the mirror.

He thought of his subsequent experience at the casino.

After returning all the chips to the man and paying [-] US dollars, Chen Guanlin took Xiaoman and left the casino.On the way, they entered a Japanese restaurant. While waiting for the food, Chen Guanlin asked Xiaoman why he asked him to gamble.

And the smile on the girl's face disappeared, and she hesitated biting her lip, not knowing how to answer.

Chen Guanlin, who is understanding and not aggressive, naturally brought back his question, and they started eating.

It was not until a long time later that Chen Guanlin realized that it was a test and a persuasion.

@@

"Dean Chen."

Ye Rui'an went into the bathroom, and greeted him while washing his hands.

"Mr. Ye." Chen Guanlin nodded in greeting, with a polite and distant smile.

"You don't seem happy that you won against me." Ye Rui'an straightened his clothes and said unintentionally.

"It's a joke, it doesn't matter if you're happy or not."

"If you really think so, I will feel very disappointed. It is my shame to lose to someone who never thought of winning. Are you humiliating me?" Ye Rui'an showed an offended expression.

Also, he is also someone who has participated in the sop competition, just in Las Vegas, although he was eliminated only on day3 (people before 12.5%), but it is good enough as an amateur player.

Chen Guanlin was a little tired, he had already passed the age of winning, not to mention that his nature is not competitive.He squeezed the center of his brows—this is the second time he has done this today—"No, you misunderstood, although I don't take this game seriously, I will go all out, and I don't want me to I will lose." Chen Guanlin wiped his hands, "Because I have a reason to win. And if Mr. Ye wants to ask why I can guess your cards, I think it is better for you to find the answer yourself. You should find someone Record your expression when you play cards and watch it, and you will find the answer."

"Why can you be so expressionless the whole time? I can't see any flaws in your face."

Chen Guanlin glanced at Ye Rui'an and smiled tolerantly, "Because I regarded it as an operation."

"...I once met a friend who lost life-and-death money at the poker table, and he could still smile at the person who won all his money." Chen Guanlin walked outside, saying, At the door he stopped, "I admit I can't do this. But I rarely put myself in such an all-or-nothing situation," yes, rarely, but not completely, "so I can afford to lose You can also be expressionless."

"What if I humiliate you after winning?" Ye Rui'an asked in a deep voice, "Will you overturn your words?"

"...In my heart, commitment is more important than money, face, dignity and even happiness." Chen Guanlin was silent for a while, and after saying this, he pressed the doorknob and walked out.

In the corner of the bar, Zhou Xiwen angrily bumped Luo Jieke's lower abdomen with his elbow, "Hey, did I offend that Ye Rui'an?"

"Of course not." Luo Hui made a surprised expression, "Why do you think so? Lovely Xixi, your EQ is still so low, Charlie is chasing you, can't you tell?"

Zhou Xiwen couldn't help rolling his eyes, "Thank you! I really can't see how aggressive he is! Unless he's a teenager, a normal man in his thirties would still do this kind of 'I like you' So I bully you' thing?"

She roared softly, "Also, don't call me that!"

"Okay, don't talk about him, let's go and have a dance. If you don't go, Charlie please, you will always go if I ask you?" Roger said with a smile, "It's been ten years! We haven't danced together It's been a dance."

Zhou Xiwen hesitated for a moment, looked left and right to see whether Chen Guanlin was there, and felt relieved, "Okay!"

The passionate and exotic dance music sounded, and the men and women on the dance floor danced with vigor and passion.

Although Zhou Xiwen and Luo Jieke have not seen each other for many years, they have been best friends and partners together for several years. To be honest, they know each other very well—perhaps it can be said to be far beyond the mutual understanding between Xiwen and Chen Guanlin ?Halfway through the dance music, the jerky between the two has disappeared, and they cooperate with each other tacitly.

The music changed and became more dynamic.

Shaking hair, swinging arms, soft like a snake, fast like lightning, choppy like a sea wave.This is a wild dance, a primitive dance, a cathartic dance!

Unknowingly, Xiwen and Jack became the center of the dance floor, many people around stopped to watch them dance, whistled and cheered.

She and him were far and near, and when they were closest, it seemed that the most affectionate lover was about to kiss.

Chen Guanlin looked around while wiping the water from his hands. For a moment, he saw the woman swaying and spinning on the dance floor, and his face was filled with surprise in an instant.

He had never seen such a wild and lively Zhou Xiwen.

This... is this really her?That upright Zhou Xiwen who is even more rigid than the old man?That Zhou Xiwen who only wears business attire to work without a smile on his face?

Surprised, Chen Guanlin moved his feet unconsciously, standing on the edge of the dance floor, staring blankly at the dancing posture and... dancers he had never seen before.

If Li Xiaoman's dance is like a butterfly, full of agility and beauty, then Zhou Xiwen's dance is like a running deer, full of strength.

As the song reached its climax, Zhou Xiwen turned around and turned to face Chen Guanlin.She froze all at once, paused, and missed the beat.

She was uncontrollably anxious—would Guanlin think that I was immodest?A serious man like him would not like such a dance.

Roger pulled her down, and Xiwen mechanically followed for a few steps, only to see the man on the dance floor raised his hands and clapped vigorously.

For a moment, her heart relaxed involuntarily, and a smile appeared on her face.All of a sudden, she spun and swayed along with Roger's strength...

@@

Chen Guanlin didn't expect her face to be filled with annoyance immediately after meeting his eyes.Is she an old-fashioned person in her heart?

He laughed at first, but then he was surprised to realize that Chen Guanlin had such influence on this woman—she was so cramped that her hands and feet were not her hands or feet.

Before he had time to think about it, he clapped and smiled reflexively, seeing her relieved to continue her blooming dance.

The tune changed, and before Chen Guanlin had time to taste the complicated feelings in his heart, he was dragged off the dance floor. When he looked up, he saw the tall and handsome Luo Jieke in front of him.

This mixed-race man is doing the basic reggae movements, his body is almost swinging against Chen Guanlin.The bar was very warm, he only wore a white shirt but unbuttoned a few buttons, exposing his honey-colored firm chest, and moved around Chen Guanlin.

"I can't dance!" Chen Guanlin yelled, but the DJ turned up the music so loud that no one could hear his voice.

Chen Guanlin stood awkwardly for a while, being pushed back and forth by people, he finally realized that standing here was impossible, and it was impossible to go through the crowd and get back to his seat, he could only dance with hip-pop rhythm... ballroom dancing.

Luo Jieke was pushed aside by someone, Chen Guanlin was surrounded by people he didn't know, most of them were blond and blue-eyed, and they danced very well, but... if these people didn't always touch his chest or Thighs are just fine.

After being eaten a lot of tofu (both men and women, Chen Guanlin lamented the unrestrained social atmosphere in Europe), Chen Guanlin finally "killed" a bloody road to a place with fewer people.

"Sorry!" / "Sorry!"

He hit something soft on his back, and subconsciously, Chen Guanlin, who hadn't heaved a sigh of relief, quickly said sorry, but the other party also quickly apologized, turned around and said, "Xiwen?"

"Pfft..." Zhou Xiwen took a closer look and laughed before saying anything, "Did you go into a fight?"

Also, Chen Guanlin's clothes were unbuttoned, his hair was messed up, and there were footprints on his shoes.

The man smiled helplessly and shook his head, "Almost."

As soon as the voice fell, the music finally turned into a gentle lyrical music, which was probably used by the DJ to give everyone a breather.

"Uh...a dance?"

Zhou Xiwen suddenly blurted out without thinking, and waved his hands repeatedly after speaking, "I'm just joking."

"……OK."

On the contrary, Chen Guanlin didn't feel that there was anything wrong, so he responded easily, took her hand, and transferred most of her weight to himself.

"I didn't know you were so good at hip-hop." Chen Guanlin didn't quite understand this, and collectively referred to all dynamic dances as hip-hop.

"En." Zhou Xiwen didn't say much, but just responded lightly.She put her hand on the man's shoulder, and looked at the man's face under the dim light of the ballroom.

Half side is bright and half side is dark.

She used to think that she knew Chen Guanlin very well, but later she realized that was not the case at all.It's as if she has been seeing the bright side of Chen Guanlin.

"Actually, I'm not that old-fashioned yet. You dance very well." Chen Guanlin said slowly, leading her around in circles. "True art, no matter what its form, is always beautiful."

That's right, he can be regarded as a semi-expert dancer.Zhou Xiwen wanted to say something, but tiredness seemed to surge up like a tide, and she suddenly didn't want to do anything or say anything.

"Guanlin..." she murmured, "Let me use your shoulder."

Just borrow it, just for a while, just for a while.

She put her head on his shoulder and spun and danced with his steps.

The long song of yesterdayoncemore is soothing and affectionate, two people who are hurting each other are slowly swaying against each other, so close and so far away.

"I just said Xiwen doesn't like aggressive men." Luo Jieke sat chatting with Ye Rui'an while holding a wine glass at some point.

"Dean Chen is good, but he's a little too old, right?" Ye Rui'an swallowed half a glass of Longisland in one gulp, dying of depression.

"Hehe... Anyway, he looks more handsome than you!" Roger laughed unceremoniously.

"Hey! Whose friend are you! I know you have a crush on Chen Guanlin, but he is a straight man."

Roger shrugged, "Who said I fell in love with him, I was just teasing him. Who told him to hurt my lovely Princess Xixi's self-confidence?!"

Ye Rui'an showed an expression of "I don't believe it, I despise you", and started drinking by himself.

@@@

The meeting finally came to an end. All the participants exchanged contact information and left Switzerland one after another.However, when Chen Guanlin also packed up his luggage and was about to leave for China, Zhou Xiwen told him that he still had a few days of vacation and would spend it here, and asked him to go back first.

Chen Guanlin asked her about her plan.

"Go to the ski resort first to find the feeling. I signed up for a mountaineering and skiing group, and I will go skiing in the Alps this weekend."

Well, Chen Guanlin has been able to nod calmly, understanding her wild side that has never been shown in the past.The next day, Chen Guanlin got into a taxi under Xi Wen's watchful eyes, but he didn't go straight to the airport, but went around in circles and went back to the hotel.

He picked up the car he rented, sat in the car and turned on his laptop while looking at the information and looking up at the hotel gate from time to time.Around ten o'clock, Zhou Xiwen changed into a ski outfit, and got into a taxi with a big backpack on his back.

Chen Guanlin quickly closed the computer and drove to keep up.

Laughing at himself in his heart, why did he do this kind of spy thing again, Chen Guanlin turned his head to look at the full set of equipment on the side, and began to feel a faint pain in his thigh and buttocks.

Without him, although Dean Chen likes to run, he has never done any extreme sports!

In Chen Guanlin's 50 years, he can say that he has reached the pinnacle in his professional field, but his life is dull and stable, except for work, there are not many wonderful stories.Let's put it this way, Chen Guanlin is not a hero, he is just a very ordinary good man.But... In the past few years, he has experienced all the great ups and downs, great sorrows and great joys that he has not experienced in the first half of his life, and now there is really nothing that can change his face.
