One round ended, Munni looked helplessly at Xu Yisen sitting beside her.
Xu Yisen had a great temperant when playing cards; he never interfered or spoke up while watching Munni play mahjong, even when she played a card she shouldn’t have.
This ti, receiving Munni’s plea for help through her eyes, Xu Yisen chuckled lightly and said, "Do you want to play a few rounds for you?"
Munni nodded and stood up, swapping seats with Xu Yisen.
Seeing how Munni, who was so spirited earlier, now looked a bit defeated sitting beside Xu Yisen after losing nearly ten rounds, Ji Nanqing couldn’t help but tease her.
"Munni, I’ve been eyeing a watch but haven’t ordered it yet. If you lose another hundred thousand to , I can buy that watch."
Aunt Chen and Uncle Dong, seated at the mahjong table, stealthily laughed upon hearing Ji Nanqing’s words.
Aunt Chen chid in, "Little Qin, unlike Little Ji, Auntie doesn’t want anything too extravagant. A few more wins would be enough for to buy a Hers scarf."
Munni couldn’t help but laugh. She pointed at Xu Yisen, who was sitting at the mahjong table, and said, "Aunt Chen, Yisen is the one with money, you should try winning from him."
Aunt Chen subtly observed Xu Yisen as he calmly picked up and played his tiles.
It’s often said that the atmosphere is crucial when gambling, and Xu Yisen exuded an air of confident composure, which clearly didn’t seem like soone who would lose money.
Winning from him might not be that simple.
"Xiao Xu seems to have good mahjong skills. Do you play often?" The question ca from Uncle Dong, who had evidently sensed Xu Yisen’s strong presence.
Xu Yisen shook his head, "I haven’t played in a long ti."
Back in college, he’d occasionally play mahjong with friends, but after graduating, everyone was busy working, and gambling was limited to playing cards every now and then. It had indeed been a few years since he last played mahjong.
As he finished speaking, he drew a tile and won - clean sweep.
When he toppled the row of mahjong tiles, the three people at the table were all left with mouths slightly agape, while Xu Yisen remained calm and composed.
Xu Yisen took just a few minutes to win over ten thousand for Munni.
Even Munni sitting beside him was slightly surprised by his mahjong skills, "Yisen, you’re surprisingly good at mahjong too."
"Just lucky," Xu Yisen modestly smiled, paused, and added, "How about when we win more, we use the winnings to buy you that watch?"
"Um, that works too."
Ji Nanqing, sitting opposite Xu Yisen, overheard their quiet conversation and was montarily speechless.
Whether Xu Yisen was genuinely lucky or there were other factors, he won five consecutive rounds, not only helping Munni regain her capital, but also winning over ten thousand more.
In the sixth round, Ji Nanqing drew a great hand and won just before Xu Yisen.
"Yisen, I’ve got an idea... We could retire early and make so side money at the card room whenever we want."
Hearing her suggestion, Xu Yisen smiled wryly. He glanced at Munni, whose eyes were curved into crescent moons, and indulgently replied, "Sure, whenever you want to retire with you, I’m ga."
Their unintentional display of affection had an effect on the other three at the table, and it seed everyone was sporting subtle, happy smiles.
Xu Yisen rely played one round for Munni, winning over twenty thousand, and once the round ended, he stood up and gave the seat back to Munni.
