The next day, while she was still asleep, Shang Jincheng called her via video.
"Not up yet? I brought you breakfast, open the door."
Ge'er opened the door with her hair a mess, seeing him appear at the doorway looking energetic, carrying two large bags of delicious food.
Shang Jincheng was not only dressed smartly but also full of spirit, saying loudly.
"I knew you were tired from playing yesterday, so rest well today. Eat first, then go back to sleep. Later, I'll call someone over to play mahjong with sister-in-law."
Perhaps it was the constant smile on his face, or perhaps it was his excessive attentiveness.
In any case, Ge'er couldn't get angry with him.
Seeing a faint bruise under his lower eyelids, she even asked him with concern.
"What time did you go to bed last night? You must be exhausted."
"No, how could I be exhausted? I'm young and strong, my body is very good. What's wrong? Why are you suddenly concerned about me? Have you realized how good I am?"
Well, he was still the same cheeky Shang Jincheng.
Not worth worrying about.
He hadn't eaten breakfast either, and it wouldn't be right to eat while he stood by watching, so Tong An'an asked him to sit down with them.
The three of them ate and drank for a while. It was getting late, and Tong An'an said to call people over, as she was already itching to play.
Heaven knows, Tong An'an hadn't played mahjong in years. To set them up, she had stayed up late last night to review the rules again.
Shang Jincheng made a few calls, and soon, Tong Mengmeng and her husband arrived.
Everyone quickly set up the table, and Shang Jincheng told Ge'er to sit down and play.
Ge'er said, "I don't want to play, you play your own game. I'm not interested in these things."
"Are you not interested or can't you play? I've never seen you play mahjong since I was little. You probably can't play, can you?"
"Who says I can't play? Mahjong is such a simple thing, I just don't want to learn. I'll know how to play after watching for a bit."
"Then play a round for me to see. This thing really tests intelligence. You call yourself smart, let's see if you can win today."
With a few words, Shang Jincheng managed to provoke Ge'er's fighting spirit.
The four of them sat in a circle, and Shang Jincheng sat next to her.
To be honest, she really didn't know how to play well.
She only knew the rules, but because she wasn't interested, she had only touched the tiles a few times.
After discarding two tiles, Shang Jincheng saw that she didn't know how to play and anxiously moved his stool closer to her, resting his right arm behind her back, his chest against her shoulder.
It was as if the two of them were leaning together, playing the same hand of cards.
"Play the nine of bamboos, don't touch this."
"This one."
"Don't move yet, let me look again."
He was more than ten centimeters taller than Ge'er, and even sitting side-by-side, he was still half a head taller than her.
The distance was so close that his breath could be felt on Ge'er's face when he spoke.
Moreover, he seemed to have sprayed perfume today, with a faint woody fragrance on him.
Listening to his young, pleasant voice, and looking at his long, youthful hands touching hers, Ge'er's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
It was as if a strong wave of male hormones had enveloped her, making her restless and unable to stop looking at his hands.
Shang Jincheng played very seriously, afraid that Ge'er would lose.
When he was serious, he looked surprisingly roguishly handsome…
After two rounds, she won twice, and Tong Mengmeng was unhappy.
"You two are cheating, how can you play like this? Who is playing, you or her?"
Shang Jincheng protected Ge'er, "Come on, I'm not saying you two are cheating, who knows if you're playing the affection card?"
"I say, you're watching your husband too closely. You call him out to play cards and you follow him. Is he that attractive? Do you think any other woman besides you would be interested in him?"
It was normal for old friends to bicker, and Tong Mengmeng was not to be outdone.
"My husband is that charming, unlike you. Although you're with someone new every day, none of them are sincere to you, and you've never had a proper girlfriend."
Shang Jincheng, so eloquent, was rendered speechless by this truthful remark.
Seeing him twitch the corner of his mouth and stop refuting, Zhan Jingge suddenly felt very displeased.
It was as if no matter how cheeky Shang Jincheng was, only she had the right to tease him.
