Locking away my heart and love! Going back to 2000 to be a top student again.

Shen Chen didn't mind at all, and with a good temper, he taught her how to play her cards and how to analyze the situation.

"We're definitely going to get involved with this guy, so let's not fight yet and see if we can get close."

"It's so late and you still haven't won. If you've taken a new tile, don't take the risk. We're not going to do something that will lose us money."

"Bai Yi is sitting to your left. If he feeds you cards, don't touch them unless you need to. Instead, just reach out and draw one."

"Xie Er has been waiting for this tile for a long time, so don't discard it."

Xu Su listened attentively to Teacher Shen's lecture until this question prompted her to retort, "How did you know?"

She held a one-of-a-kind tile, somewhat skeptical, and was about to discard it when Shen Chen stopped her: "Just listen to me, you can figure it out yourself if you use your brain."

He snatched the One of Bamboo, picked a card for himself, and played it. Afraid of making her angry, he habitually started to coax her: "Show me the intelligence you had to get into Peking University. Don't be stubborn, just listen to me."

After being flattered, Xu Su began to carefully understand the rules of the game. Relying on observing micro-expressions was useless; none of these people cared about winning or losing, so they wouldn't change their expressions because of whether they had good or bad cards.

Soon, Xu Su also started winning, marking the first milestone for a newbie.

After she won the hand, she started to dislike Shen Chen, who had been nagging her the whole time, and told him to go away.

Shen Chen was almost laughing in anger. "Xu Su, do you know that's called discarding a donkey after it has served its purpose?"

"I'm not trying to get rid of you, I just need your help with something." Xu Su also felt that she hadn't acted properly, and replied in her busy schedule, "Go and get me a glass of ice water, and remember to add plum and lemon."

Xu Su was used to Shen Chen's attitude, but the other three people at the card table were shocked.

They knew the two were acquainted at the dinner table, but they never expected them to be this close, that a woman would so naturally order Shen Chen to pour her water…

Even with a brotherhood of over ten years, they shouldn't be ordering Young Master Shen around doing such menial tasks, okay?

Shen Chen noticed the strange looks from the others, but he stood up as if he didn't notice and said to Xu Su, "Iced water won't do, but I can get you a cup of hot water. Do you want some?"

Xu Su choked, then couldn't help but glare at him: "How come you're just like Zhou Mochen!"

"What kind of behavior is that?"

Zhou Mochen was standing at the entrance of the card room when he overheard Xu Su's words and asked, "What kind of person am I?"

Caught red-handed talking 'behind the scenes,' Xu Su guiltily changed the subject: 'I'm thirsty, I want to drink water.'

Zhou Mochen hummed in agreement, not wanting to make things difficult for her, and instructed the girl in the work uniform in the corner, "Bring me a glass of warm water."

After saying that, he walked over and sat down next to Xu Su. "You came to play cards without telling me? Do you even know how to play?"

"Shen Chen just taught me." Xu Su was still resentful that he wouldn't let her drink, and didn't really want to talk to him.

With an arm wrapped around her waist, Xu Su turned her head and saw Zhou Mochen's face close to hers, his entire body pressed against her back, holding her in his arms.

Seeing Xu Su turn her head, Zhou Mochen kissed her lips and looked at her with a smile: "I'll teach you. Your boyfriend can do everything, believe it or not?"

Xu Su licked her lips, somewhat tempted, wanting to kiss him back…

Considering the inconvenient location, she reluctantly held back, raising her chin haughtily: "Fine."

Shen Chen, who was standing next to him, gave an ambiguous snort: "Can you guys be mindful of your behavior?"

"..." Xu Su paused, looking at Liu Mingyu across from her who was constantly kissing his female companion, and Xie Si whose hands were groping women all over. She had no idea that she hadn't paid attention to the impact of just touching Zhou Mochen's lips.

Zhou Mochen tightened his grip on Xu Su's hand, then suddenly said to the woman who had been left out by Shen Chen, "Have your manager arrange for a few women who aren't wearing perfume to come over. Don't leave A-Chen all alone."

“That’s right. They’re just sitting around doing nothing, yet they can’t stand seeing others being affectionate.” Xie Si casually played a card, opened his mouth to take the fruit his female companion fed him, and said with a smile, “Our young master Shen doesn’t want the bad ones. Let’s see if there are any new girls, a few pure ones.”

Shen Chen's face darkened, and he frowned as he refused, "I don't need it."

Jiang Baiyi also said, "Let's see. If you really don't like it, then so be it. Who can force you to go for it?"

Liu Mingyu didn't engage with their conversation at all; he was already tired of playing mahjong. After calling Shen Chen to take him back to his seat, he led his female companion to the corner sofa.

The sofa was behind Xu Su, and she couldn't help but turn her gaze towards it. Her head was halfway turned when Zhou Mochen grabbed her chin and turned her face back. "Don't look."

“???” Xu Su blinked and looked at Zhou Mochen.

He patted the girl's head and repeated, "Don't look at those things, just focus on playing your cards."

...Is it really that extreme?

Seeing her expression, Zhou Mochen knew she had misunderstood. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to explain.

Actually, he had already given his brothers a heads-up that whenever he brought people to a place, the scale of the event should not be too large. Liu Mingyu knew his limits and would not do anything serious in front of her.

If you really can't resist, there's a suite next door.

This is why Xie Si initially said, "This is not allowed, and you should be careful about that."

A short while later, several girls dressed in strapless mini-skirts were led in and lined up for people to choose from.

Their uniforms also seemed to be ranked; those who could wear cheongsams were probably the top performers.

These girls, dressed in ordinary strapless dresses, were all very youthful and fresh-faced. Compared to the top girls, they lacked some of the effortless charm, but possessed a more innocent and naive quality.

Several of them looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, or maybe even younger.

Seeing that she was looking at it so intently, Zhou Mochen asked with a smile, "Su Su, do you want to help Achen pick out a few as gifts for him?"

Gift?

Xu Su asked curiously, "Are you paying?"

“Okay, I’ll pay.” Zhou Mochen laughed. “I’ll pay for everything, including the woman you chose for him.”

"Okay!" Xu Su's eyes widened as she began to carefully select.

Regardless of whether Shen Chen is sick or not, since he hasn't said it, let's just assume he isn't. Even if he is, it would be better to pick a girl and see if she can cure him.

In Xu Su's opinion, Shen Chen was too reluctant to admit his problems. He either indulged in nightly revelry or avoided women like the plague. How could he be like that?

Men, especially young men, unless they have a congenital problem, how can they not be attracted to beautiful women?

"Give it a try, maybe it'll work," Xu Su thought, and she made her selection very carefully.

The girls who get to come here have all been told that the guests on the top floor are of noble status. According to their job duties, they are going to drink with guests in whichever private room they go to. Of course, they prefer to find someone who is both young and powerful. They don't ask for any special favor, but it would be good if they could get more tips.

Therefore, a row of girls were all eagerly hoping to be selected.
