I'm in love

Fan Shengmei of 2202 is still worried about money, and is also annoyed by the trivial matters at home.

Lin Yan originally didn't want to join their card game, but was persuaded by Qu Xiaoxiao and Zhao Qiping through coaxing and deception.

Zhao Qiping urged, "Play your cards. Whose turn is it?"

Andy also echoed, "Yanyan, it's your turn!"

Lin Yan replied hesitantly, "Wait... I think Xiao Qu's card should be the best right now."

Lin Yan looked at the cards in her hand and said thoughtfully: "There is a pair of Ks and a Q, so there should be another pair of what?" Her eyes fell on Dr. Zhao opposite her, and she secretly guessed the cards in his hand.

At this moment, Lin Yan suddenly revealed a sly smile and whispered, "Doctor Zhao's cards are a pair of 4s, a pair of 5s, and a 2." She seemed to have seen through the other party's hand.

Zhao Qiping couldn't help but frown after hearing what Lin Yan said. He looked at Lin Yan in confusion, then looked down at the cards in his hand, and then looked around, as if looking for something. Finally, he asked helplessly, "Did you see my cards on TV?"

Lin Yan quickly shook her head and replied with a smile: "No!"

Zhao Qiping was even more puzzled. He pointed at his own cards, then pointed at the surroundings and asked, "Then why did my cards become so transparent? Can it tell you what cards I have?"

At this time, Fan Shengmei needed money for something, so she thought for a long time and decided to go to Lin Yan to borrow some money. She came to Lin Yan's door and rang the doorbell but found no one answered. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly heard a voice coming from Xiao Qu's house next door, 2204. Fan Shengmei stopped and walked to the door with light steps, wanting to listen to what was being said inside.

It turned out that a fierce poker game was going on in the house. The team consisting of Lin Yan and Andy was always at a disadvantage, while Qu Xiaoxiao and Zhao Qiping won repeatedly.

Qu Xiaoxiao said to Lin Yan with a smug look on her face: "Yan Yan, you are such a bad guy. You actually deceived us again!"

However, Lin Yan looked innocent and retorted: "Hey, how could I lie? Look at yourself over there... doing those little tricks, but I didn't say a word." There was a hint of grievance in her words, but there was a mischievous smile in her eyes.

Zhao Qiping shouted impatiently: "Can you fight more seriously?"

Qu Xiaoxiao immediately responded: "Why am I not serious?"

Seeing that Lin Yan had exposed their tricks, Zhao Qiping could not help but feel annoyed and started arguing with Qu Xiaoxiao. Fan Shengmei, who was standing outside the door, hesitated for a moment, and finally turned around and left.

Wei Wei: "Okay, stop arguing. It's not a big deal to do a little trick, but it's wrong to lie! Lying is a matter of principle! It's all Andy and Lin Yan's fault. They knew your background and gave you so many points to lie to you. They are so mean!"

Andy: "Dear Lady Macbeth, your hands are not clean either!"

Wei Wei looked at Andy in silence, suppressing a smile on his face.

Qu Xiaoxiao said in surprise: "Madam? You call Brother Wei Madam? Could it be that Brother Wei, you are actually a little bottom?" She widened her eyes, as if she had discovered a huge secret. Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this, and the originally tense atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere instantly became awkward, and the expressions of the three people became a little subtle. Only Qu Xiaoxiao was still laughing there, and she didn't seem to notice anything unusual. Zhao Qiping's face became extremely ugly, he frowned, and his eyes revealed a hint of dissatisfaction.

Zhao Qiping took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm: "Let's put it this way. It's getting late today, and I've lost a lot." He paused, then continued: "Didn't we agree on this? Whoever loses the most will treat everyone to a midnight snack. I'll treat everyone to a midnight snack."

Hearing Zhao Qiping's words, Qu Xiaoxiao raised her head in surprise: "What's going on?" Her face was full of confusion, and she obviously didn't expect Zhao Qiping to say that. Others watched this scene silently, each with their own thoughts.

Wei Wei: Lady Macbeth is a very representative character in Shakespeare's plays. She can be said to be a typical representative of accomplices.

After listening to Wei Wei's explanation, Qu Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing.

Wei Wei: Doctor Zhao, it’s getting late now. I have to go back and deal with a quotation. I’ll come to the hospital to see you another day.

Wei Wei: As for the midnight snack, let’s forget about it today. Let’s go.

Lin Yan looked at Zhao Qiping's departing back, feeling somewhat helpless. She sighed softly and said to Qu Xiaoxiao, "Then I'll go back too, Xiao Qu."

Qu Xiaoxiao quickly grabbed Lin Yan's arm, a sly smile on her face, and said, "No, I was just joking, please don't be angry! Let's go, let's go have a midnight snack together, it's my treat!"

Lin Yan hesitated for a moment. She didn't really want to go, but she was too embarrassed to refuse Qu Xiaoxiao's kindness. While she was thinking, Qu Xiaoxiao persuaded her again, "Don't go. It's so late. It's so boring to go home alone. And we can chat while eating. How nice!"

Lin Yan: "Someone is waiting for me at home, I'm leaving first"

On the other side, Zhao Qiping said nothing. He walked straight to Qu Xiaoxiao, suddenly leaned over, and gently kissed her hand. Then, without staying any longer, he turned around and left the scene. Qu Xiaoxiao was startled by this sudden move. When she reacted, Zhao Qiping had already walked away. She looked at the remaining warmth on her hand, and a sweet feeling surged in her heart. This unexpected kiss instantly made her originally depressed mood become happy.

At this time, Guan Juer happened to return home. As soon as she entered the house, she saw several people coming out of Xiaoqu's room. Among these people, she actually saw Zhao Qiping, who she had always missed.

Guan Juer shouted nervously, "Sister Andy."

Andy responded: "What's up?"

Guan Juer responded softly: "Yeah."

Seeing this, Andy said gently, "Come in, Xiaoguan, what's going on?"

Guan Juer walked into the room, hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to speak: "It's what I told you last time, I met a special person, the one just now." Her eyes unconsciously looked towards the door, and she seemed to be able to see Zhao Qiping's leaving back.

Andy: "Doctor Zhao? He's Xiao Qu's boyfriend!"

After hearing this, Guan Juer showed a hint of surprise and curiosity, but soon regained her composure. She nodded slightly, indicating that she knew the information.

Andy continued, “And one night, I happened to see him staying over at Xiao Qu’s house.”

Hearing this, Guan Juer's face changed slightly, and a hint of imperceptible disappointment flashed in her eyes. But she quickly concealed her emotions, smiled and said to Andy: "Okay, I understand, thank you for telling me this. Then I will go back first." After that, she turned and left, leaving Andy standing there thoughtfully.

In room 2204, Qu Xiaoxiao sat on the bed, holding her phone in a distracted manner. She realized that she had said something wrong while playing cards, and now she was in a very upset mood. Suddenly, she thought of Andy, maybe she could talk to her, or at least apologize to her.

Qu Xiaoxiao stood up, hurried out of her room, and went straight to the door of Andy's room. She knocked on the door gently and waited for a response.

Andy opened the door and saw Qu Xiaoxiao's troubled expression. He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Xiao Qu? What's bothering you so much?"

Qu Xiaoxiao walked into the room, sat on the sofa, sighed and said, "I'm really just anxious about losing. Doctor Zhao seems to be blaming me again. I'm so annoyed. I'm upset and confused. Andy, please help me talk to Brother Wei. I really didn't mean that."

Andy listened to Qu Xiaoxiao's confession and understood. She knew that Qu Xiaoxiao was a straightforward person and that she said the wrong thing just because she made a mistake at the time and she didn't mean to hurt her. So she comforted her, "He's not angry with you. OK! I'll talk to him for you. But Dr. Zhao seems a little uncomfortable with his defeat today, so you should explain it to him as well."

Qu Xiaoxiao nodded, looked at Andy gratefully and said, "Thank you, Andy. I really didn't mean it." She felt better, knowing that she had friends around to support her and that everything would be over.

Andy smiled and patted Qu Xiaoxiao on the shoulder and said, "What's wrong with you today? I'm really not mad at you, you just lost your temper. Go get some water yourself, I'll read the report."

Qu Xiaoxiao took the cup of water, smiled slightly, and her mood gradually calmed down. She looked at Andy gratefully, knowing that she was really lucky to have such a good friend by her side.
