"Auntie?!"
"Mom!"
While everyone was still in a daze, Zhang Yiyi had already gotten up and run to the door.
Zhang Chunxue's gaze lingered on her daughter only for a few seconds before turning back to the four people in the room: Xia Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ruawen standing as punishnt, Xu Qingfan and Wu Lingyu sitting properly, and Lin Wanning, who was still sitting on Xu Qingfan's lap.
At the sa ti, she had also forgotten that just a mont ago, Yiyi had been sitting on Xiao Fan's lap as well.
She rubbed her daughter's head and hesitated, "Um... what are you all doing?"
"Mom, it's the King's ga; we're playing the King's ga," Zhang Yiyi quickly explained, and everyone else nodded vigorously in agreent.
"Exactly, exactly!"
"The rule of the ga is to draw cards, and whoever draws the King can order anyone to do anything."
"Brother Fan ordered and Xiao Xiao to stand."
"I'm sitting on Brother Qing Fan's lap because Yiyi ordered it."
Everyone chid in one after the other, and soon they had clearly explained the rules of the King's ga and the situation at hand.
"It sounds like fun; can Auntie join you next ti?" Zhang Chunxue said, now hugging Zhang Yiyi from behind and laughing heartily.
"Of course, you can!" the group continued in unison.
"Auntie, do you want to play? Let's continue with the next round!" Xiao Ruawen said as she was about to pick an extra 7 from the pile of cards.
"Hehe, still playing? It looks like it's almost ti to eat, aren't you hungry?"
"Let's continue in the afternoon, let's go out and help with the dishes and bowls now," Xu Qingfan said as he lifted Lin Wanning up by her armpits and pulled her up with him.
"Let's listen to Brother Qing Fan!" Lin Wanning shyly stuck out her tongue and quickly ran to Zhang Yiyi's side.
During the short ti the door was open, enough ti had passed for the aroma of the food to waft into their nostrils, the sll of hot chili oil making everyone swallow saliva uncontrollably.
"Ti for a feast!"
After picking up the cups and snack wrappers from the floor, everyone left Wu Lingyu's room.
The living room's dining table was filled with delicious dishes, tailored to their tastes—besides one dish with boiled fish and spicy chicken cubes loaded with chili peppers, all other dishes were light.
"The last dish, tomato and potato stew with beef, and then you can eat once you've washed your hands," Li i Juan said as she ca out of the kitchen, smiling as she placed the last dish on the table.
"Thank you, Auntie!"
"Auntie, you've worked hard!"
"Psh—this is nothing; I was supposed to cook anyway," Li i Juan said with a wave of her hand before heading back into the kitchen.
"The bathroom is this way; I'll take everyone there,"
Everyone obediently followed Wu Lingyu to line up to wash their hands. Xiao Ruawen was about to join them when Xia Xiaoxiao pulled her back.
As she turned around to question her with a puzzled look, Xia Xiaoxiao jumped in first, "There's a sink on the balcony, let's go wash there."
"Oh, okay," Xiao Ruawen imdiately nodded, following Xia Xiaoxiao to the balcony, where it was just the two of them.
"Xiao Xiao, why aren't you washing your hands?" As she saw Xia Xiaoxiao not turning on the tap but instead turning to look at her, she asked, puzzled.
Xia Xiaoxiao gave her a stern look and said irritably, "Didn't you notice Wanning and Yiyi were cheating during the King's ga just now?"
"Ah?"
"Cheating?"
"Do you have it?"
Xiao Ruawen asked repeatedly, evidently not noticing.
"Haven't you noticed that every ti Wanning becos the King, she can call Yiyi? Similarly, Yiyi too. Otherwise, how would they both end up sitting on Xu Qingfan's thighs!"
Xia Xiaoxiao tapped her best friend's head, trying to wake her up a bit.
"Damn, now that you ntion it, it really seems like it!" Xiao Ruawen, rembering the scenes from the ga, suddenly exclaid loudly.
"Keep your voice down!" Xia Xiaoxiao, frightened, quickly covered her mouth.
After making sure no one was coming, both felt a sigh of relief.
"My bad, my bad," Xiao Ruawen patted her plump chest, saying relievedly, "How could Wanning and Yiyi do such a thing, cheating just to sit on Brother Fan's thighs, hahahaha..."
"What are you laughing at?" Xia Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes in disbelief.
"Hahaha... I don't know why... thinking about us standing and playing the ga.. haha... Wanning and Yiyi sitting on Brother Fan's thighs playing the ga, hahaha... just makes want to laugh!" Xiao Ruawen, clutching the girl's shoulder, laughed out loud.
Laughing and then noticing Xia Xiaoxiao's grim expression, Xiao Ruawen quickly stopped smiling.
"Okay, okay... hahaha, I'll stop laughing now."
"We're about to be bullied outright, and you can still laugh!" Xia Xiaoxiao poked her forehead helplessly.
"If Wanning and Yiyi can cheat, so can we, right? After we eat, I'll help you cheat too!" Xiao Ruawen continued to pat her plump chest, assuring her.
"Then I'll give you signals when the ti cos." Xia Xiaoxiao, delighted with her face, was just waiting for those words.
"That's not good, giving signals is too noticeable. We're so in sync, Xiaoxiao, just make any random move when the ti cos, and I'll definitely get it!" Xiao Ruawen said with full confidence.
"Are you sure?" Xia Xiaoxiao was a bit worried, "Or let's just text each other."
"Oh co on~ Xiaoxiao, don't you trust ? With , you're in good hands, let's first think about if I get to be the King, what order should I give," Xiao Ruawen pushed her, turning around and turning on the faucet to wash her hands.
Xia Xiaoxiao thought about the day Wanning kissed Xu Qingfan in front of everyone, her cheeks slightly flushing, but for her to bring it up, her shyness was obviously getting in the way.
"Also sit on Xu Qingfan's thighs to play the ga?" she asked uncertainly.
"Oh, that's so boring, that's just leftovers from Wanning and Yiyi. If we're going to play, we need to go big!" Xiao Ruawen refused without a second thought.
After washing her hands, she leaned on the sink, pondering with a serious look at Xia Xiaoxiao's face.
Xia Xiaoxiao felt a bit shy under her stare and was just about to speak when Xiao Ruawen suddenly smirked.
"Hehehe~ Xiaoxiao, wouldn't you want to do that with Brother Fan?" she said mischievously, her fingers furiously colliding like big thumbs.
After all, what better way to declare one's sovereignty than by stealing Brother Fan's first kiss?
"Ah... this... I... that's not good, right." Xia Xiaoxiao thought, really wanted, really badly wanted, but felt embarrassed to admit it in front of her best friend.
"What's so bad about it? It was Wanning and Yiyi who cheated first, and Brother Fan's first kiss, don't you want it?" Xiao Ruawen whispered seductively into her ear, like a witch from a fairy tale world.
[Yes, it was Wanning and Yiyi who cheated first. This ti, to kiss him in front of everyone, to infuriate them!]
In the end, Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't resist the temptation and shyly nodded.
"Wahahaha~" Xiao Ruawen, thinking about the scene that was about to co, danced with excitent instantly.
"What are you doing on the balcony, co in and eat after washing your hands."
Xu Qingfan's voice suddenly ca from behind, startling them both.
After recovering, both said simultaneously: "Secret!"
Xiao Ruawen and Xia Xiaoxiao shared a sly grin, everything understood without words.
