Chapter 13 Beauty in the Dawn
The game has entered its final minute countdown.

Those who had bet on Brazil to win the bar fell into an eerie silence, but their expressions betrayed a hint of anxiety.

When the final attack was blocked and the clock ticked down to the last ten seconds, those who remained rational realized that Brazil had no chance of winning.

Similarly, the Mexican team is unlikely to break through Brazil's formidable defense.

Unexpectedly, the final result was...

"It's a draw! It's a draw!!"

A soft, excited voice rang out in the bar.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a girl with a ponytail, bangs, and a smile brighter than a rose, excitedly hugging her "boyfriend"...

Meng Ziyi wrapped one arm around Chen Xiu's neck, pointed at the screen with the other, and jumped up and down several times with joy.

In the past, when she spent Chinese New Year at home, she would play a few rounds of mahjong with relatives and friends, but it was always a small game. Even if she was unlucky and lost all night, it would only amount to a few hundred yuan.

However, the amount of money she used to buy the ball this time was 10.

If he loses this money in the end, Meng Ziyi will feel regretful, but he won't think too much about it.

But as time ran out and neither side scored, she realized that her bet on a tie might actually be a win.

The desire to win money, coupled with the tension of the final minute of the match between the two teams, all stimulated Meng Ziyi to accelerate the secretion of adrenaline and dopamine.

When the final results came out, she couldn't help but hug Chen Xiu's neck, sharing her joy in this way.

As for Chen Xiu, he feels very fragrant, soft, and warm right now...

Meng Ziyi bounced around for a while before realizing that everyone around her was looking at her.

Reluctantly stopping her movements, the embarrassment that grew in her heart replaced her excitement, and she began to look down at Chen Xiu for support.

"Chen Xiu, did we win money?"

"Yeah, we won money, let's split it 50/50."

Chen Xiu put her arm around Meng Ziyi's slender waist and pressed her head against her large breasts to relieve the discomfort of bending over while standing.

Upon hearing that Chen Xiu was going to share half of the winnings with him, Meng Ziyi was about to refuse when he was first drawn to the strange feeling in his arms.

Looking down again, the silly beauty stared straight at the head that had come into close contact with her.

Meng Ziyi was stunned for about 5 seconds. During this time, her frozen smile suddenly turned bright red. She even forgot about what Chen Xiu had just said about splitting the winnings 50/50.

"You pervert!"

As Meng Ziyi gritted his teeth and shouted those words, he immediately grabbed Chen Xiu's neck with one hand and used his knuckles to scratch his scalp with the other.

"What are you doing? There's hair clay in my hair... You... I'm sorry, please stop..."

Chen Xiu initially wanted to resist, but after being scratched a few times, he began to feign begging for mercy.

He had been overworking his brain lately, his scalp was a bit tense, and he hadn't been getting enough rest. Meng Ziyi's gentle relaxation made him feel quite comfortable.

Meng Ziyi failed to discern whether Chen Xiu's pleas for mercy were feigned or a genuine act of punishing the lecherous man.

However, the persistent strange reaction in her arms and the gradually rising body temperature finally made her realize that something was wrong.

"How could you do this?!"

Furious, Meng Ziyi wanted to knock on the head of the person in his arms.

But after hesitating for a long time, she only gave a light thud before pushing Chen Xiu away.

Chen Xiu, who had been silently and passively accepting everything from beginning to end, was about to say a few words to ease the atmosphere after she was able to stand up straight again, but instead she saw a pair of reddened eyes.

Chen Xiu watched this scene with some helplessness. He hadn't even done anything yet, and Sister Meng's eyes were already red. Could they continue?

Staring at the man in front of her, Meng Ziyi pouted in dissatisfaction.

She wasn't that fragile; her reddened eyes were simply a result of realizing Chen Xiu had been faking pain, and she was angry...

Just as the two were speechless, the whispers of the onlookers reached Chen Xiu's ears.

Realizing she had become the center of attention, and considering the possibility of someone recording her, Chen Xiu decisively stepped forward and, regardless of Meng Ziyi's reaction, hugged her tightly. Meng Ziyi, who was expecting Chen Xiu to apologize, was completely stunned by the sudden hug.

Before she could react, Chen Xiu's voice was already ringing in her ears.

"Everyone else is watching, and someone might take photos or videos, so we need to act normal."

Upon hearing this, Meng Ziyi could only nod in agreement, but his hand still couldn't help but pinch Chen Xiu's tender waist.

"Sigh~~"

The excruciating pain in her lower back made Chen Xiu gasp for breath.

However, the soft, warm body in his arms helped alleviate the pain, a situation that was both painful and pleasurable.

Seeing them hug each other, the others stared for less than two seconds before feeling awkward and turning away to chat with their friends.

As the atmosphere in the bar returned to normal, Meng Ziyi, realizing that no one would take photos or videos anymore, patted Chen Xiu on the shoulder.

"Hey, you big pervert, nobody's watching us anymore, so let go of us now!"

"Oh, good."

Chen Xiu awkwardly released Meng Ziyi.

Before a new round of "punishment" could begin, he grabbed Meng Ziyi and headed to the bar, where he used the receipt to exchange all the money.

Because it was a last-minute bet, the odds dropped from 5.2 to 4. Including the initial bet, Chen Xiu won a total of 50.

After receiving the money, he didn't linger and pulled Meng Ziyi straight out of the bar.

As the two walked down the street in Wudaoying Hutong, Meng Ziyi was just about to pull her hand away when Chen Xiu had already started a new conversation.

"Send me your card number later. You'll get half of the profits from this game."

"I only helped place a bet, and you're giving me half the profits? Is it that easy to make money off you?"

Meng Ziyi's lips curled up, and he said in a quirky manner.

After saying that, she quickly glanced at the two hands that were still clasped together, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes; she no longer really wanted to pull her hands away.

Chen Xiu squeezed Meng Ziyi's hand: "You only won this time because of your luck! If you hadn't suddenly come over, I probably wouldn't have bought another round. How can you say it was easy?"

"Hmph! How come I didn't realize you were so good at charming girls the first two times?"

Meng Ziyi pouted her luscious red lips and looked at Chen Xiu with feigned displeasure.

When confronted with this question, Chen Xiu's answer was so "honest" that Meng Ziyi wanted to cover his face.

"I'm starting filming tomorrow. By the time I come back, you'll already be home for summer vacation!"

"so what?"

“I’m worried that we won’t be familiar with each other next time we meet, so I want to take advantage of today’s meeting to catch up.”

"Pfft~, what progress stuff? I don't understand!"

Overwhelmed with embarrassment, Meng Ziyi shook off Chen Xiu's hand and ran forward.

Her direction was exactly to the east.

By this time, the streets were already bright, and the eastern horizon was just beginning to lighten.

After Chen Xiu chased after her for a few steps, she saw the morning light of the 18th fall on Meng Ziyi, enveloping her body in a layer of light.

This scene made Chen Xiu stop in her tracks, pausing to admire the golden dawn light dancing in Meng Ziyi's flowing hair, and her smile that was even more beautiful than a rose.

Meng Ziyi ran a few steps, but when she saw that Chen Xiu hadn't followed, she turned back.

"What are you doing standing there like that?"

"Look at the beautiful women in the morning light..."
