The second floor is a guest bedroom, not as big as the master bedroom on the third floor, but it's more than enough for a young couple.
The quilt was huge, so it would inevitably drag on the floor. Fortunately, there were carpets on the floor, so the quilt wouldn't get dirty. Jiang Nan wrapped herself in the quilt and felt like she was about to ascend the throne and become emperor.
He casually picked out some loungewear to wear before throwing the blanket back onto the bed.
After changing her clothes, Jiang Nan went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face before coming out.
Fu Jingzhou remained seated in his original position.
Jiang Nan rubbed her stomach and asked, "When are we eating?"
"The food is ready," Fu Jingzhou replied.
"Let's go then."
As Jiang Nan finished speaking and was about to leave, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by the man.
His fingers were warm. Jiang Nan stopped and turned around. "What's wrong?"
Fu Jingzhou took a red envelope from under his pillow and handed it to Jiang Nan: "New Year's money."
Jiang Nan was stunned.
He's received a lot of lucky money these past few days, all from wealthy people, and every single red envelope is bulging.
But this one was given to him by his wife.
Fu Jingzhou stuffed the red envelope into his hand and kissed him on the forehead.
Jiang Nan subconsciously closed her eyes. The warmth on her forehead lasted only a second before she heard his gentle voice in her ear.
"May you be happy in the new year, Nannan."
A very simple blessing.
Jiang Nan opened her eyes and met his gaze.
Jiang Nan smiled and nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes."
-
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Nan went to Qin Feng's house with Fu Jingzhou to play cards.
Why go to Qin Feng's house?
This man had just gotten a divorce and was now living alone.
It sounds so tragic, and they desperately need comforting.
Jiang Nan and Fu Jingzhou arrived last. When they got there, Shangguan Feng was already sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, eating a popsicle.
Shen Xingli sat on the other side, looking down at his phone, his face full of impatience.
Tan Xu sat next to him, whispering something to comfort him.
"What happened?" Jiang Nan asked with concern after changing her shoes. "Did you have a fight?"
"I know!" Shangguan Feng raised his hand. "Someone just called Brother Tan, Old Shen asked him who called. Brother Tan stammered for a long time before finally saying it was his cousin. But he doesn't have a cousin at all!"
"Whoa!" Jiang Nan gasped, patting Tan Xu's shoulder. "You're beyond saving."
Tan Xu: "..."
He turned his head and said earnestly, "Thank you for stabbing me in the heart again."
Jiang Nan coughed lightly. "You're welcome."
-
In previous years, Fu Jingzhou, Shangguan Feng, Qin Feng, and Shen Xingli would play cards together.
Since two of them had already found partners, Fu Jingzhou and Shen Xingli sat on the sidelines and watched the show.
As the saying goes, a person's character is revealed in their gambling habits.
Shangguan Feng and Qin Feng were undoubtedly shrewd, but Jiang Nan never expected that Tan Xu was just as cunning as a monkey.
Jiang Nan, holding a hand of cards, went from being full of confidence and dominating the game at the beginning to finally saying expressionlessly, "Pass."
Shangguan Feng laughed. Seeing that Jiang Nan was almost out of money, he teased, " Nannan, your card skills aren't good. Let your husband teach you."
"What husband?" Jiang Nan, displeased. "He's my wife."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, and their gazes all turned to Fu Jingzhou.
The man lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and asked casually, "Why are you looking at me?"
Shangguan Feng was a little speechless. "Um... aren't you going to say something?"
" Nannan has always been the head of our family; he's the patriarch." Fu Jingzhou smiled, perfectly embodying the image of a virtuous wife and loving mother.
The patriarch's ears turned red from being teased, but he still pretended to be serious and said, "Hurry up, Shangguan Feng, it's your turn."
Shangguan Feng, holding the cards, paused for a moment, "What did you play?"
"One against two, neither of them should pass." Jiang Nan glanced at her cards.
The other three players had almost played all their cards, but he still had more than ten cards left. What does this mean? It means he still has a chance to turn the tide.
Shangguan Feng said "Oh" and casually tossed down two cards.
Jiang Nan asked in shock, "What did you lose?"
Shangguan Feng said, "Your Majesty and Your Highness."
Jiang Nan: "..."
Qin Feng, expressionless, said, "Pass."
Tan Xu: "Pass."
Jiang Nan: "... Pass."
Shangguan Feng raised an eyebrow and immediately threw down the last four cards in his hand.
"Three with one."
The comeback attempt failed.
Jiang Nan held the cards, resentfully giving up her New Year's money.
After Pretty Zhouzhou shuffled the cards, the four of them started another game.
This time, Jiang Nan intends to completely abandon her morals and target Shangguan Feng from start to finish.
Shangguan Feng said, "A pair of Aces, anyone want them?"
Qin Feng: "Pass."
Tan Xu: "No."
Jiang Nan: "I want it, one against two."
He held two cards between his index and middle fingers and slammed them onto the table with style.
Shangguan Feng: "... No."
The other two also declined.
After all, this is just the beginning; it's not time to bring out all the big names yet.
Jiang Nan casually tossed down another card.
Shangguan Feng stared intently, then felt a mouthful of blood catch in his throat. "You played a three???"
After you've played one card against two others, you play a three?
Jiang Nan snorted coldly, "Is there a problem?"
Shangguan Feng: "Of course there's a problem."
Jiang Nan turned her head sullenly, " Zhouzhou, is there a problem?"
Fu Jingzhou and Shangguan Feng exchanged a glance, Shangguan Feng's eyes practically spitting fire.
Look at your wonderful wife.
Fu Jingzhou, completely disregarding his friend's feelings, smiled and said, "No problem."
Okay.
Jiang Nan nodded with a smile, then turned to Shangguan Feng and said fiercely, "Stop talking and play your card."
Their expressions change incredibly quickly.
Shangguan Feng: "..."
Your uncle spoils his dad.
-
While the four were having a great time playing cards, the living room door was suddenly pushed open.
The card table was in the living room, so when they heard the noise, they all looked towards the door.
While cracking sunflower seeds, Shen Xingli asked, " Brother Qin, did you invite others too?"
"No, since you're here, who else could I call?" Qin Feng said, then a thought suddenly popped into his head, and his heart started racing.
Jiang Nan looked over curiously. The door was pushed open, revealing a slender, fair hand. The person who entered was a tall, fair-skinned young man wearing a brown trench coat and with long, straight, black hair that reached about waist-length. However, he was a man.
She has a very beautiful face, the kind that is particularly striking and visually impactful.
One look and you're irresistibly drawn in.
Jiang Nan almost forgot to blink, and the next second everything went black.
A warm hand covered his eyes, and Jiang Nan could even smell the hand sanitizer in his palm.
