Chapter 128: Chapter 127: Suck Suck Suck

Ordering food normally, Jiang Lingling didn’t rush to pay, which gave Qin Guanglin a sigh of relief.

He was just overthinking it.

"Is this fun?" Sun Wen looked around, seeing Yu Le and Qin Guanglin sitting across each other, heads down in a fervent game of Fight the Landlord, appearing very focused.

"Fun."

"Fun."

"Childish." Sun Wen scoffed, "Even Lingling, a girl, isn’t playing, and you two grown men..."

"Let’s all play together." Jiang Lingling pulled out her phone from her pocket, "We can set up a room and battle each other."

"..."

"Sure, wait till I finish this game." Yu Le found it more fun to play with people he knew, "Brother Lin, what about you?"

"I don’t play friend battles without beans," Qin Guanglin shook his head, he only played to win beans for Teacher He, without beans he couldn’t be bothered to play.

"Uh... okay then."

You need three people to start a game in a room, two can’t match with strangers, Yu Le shrugged at Jiang Lingling and started another game.

It was unbearably hot at noon, even with a fan blowing overhead, the oppressive heat made everyone irritable, Sun Wen played with disposable chopsticks as if conducting a scientific experiment, accidentally snapping them with a ’click’.

"You’re really idle." Qin Guanglin packed up his phone and looked at the half chopstick in his hand, "Wasting resources."

"They’re too brittle, I hardly used any force." Sun Wen threw the chopsticks to a trash can by his feet, "Why aren’t you playing?"

"Ran out of beans."

Bad luck, he had lost everything in one go.

Might as well keep on owing, since he was already in so much debt, a little more or less, with interest or without, it was all the same, impossible to repay.

"Hey, aren’t you good at memorizing cards?"

"When you’re unlucky, remembering cards is useless, they play openly, I watch their cards and still can’t win."

"Really?" Yu Le chuckled, flipping his phone, having just drawn a strong hand, an open hand with a super multiplier, scaring the two peasants from playing recklessly.

"That luck of yours..." Qin Guanglin was speechless, if he had gotten such a hand earlier, he could have won tens of thousands of beans in one go.

"Jinx." Sun Wen pulled out another pair of disposable chopsticks to fiddle with, "You’re such a jinx."

"Still not as much as you."

"..."

Sun Wen grudgingly stopped talking, he really was disastrously unlucky... After a thought, he took a deep breath towards Yu Le.

"What are you doing?" Qin Guanglin was puzzled, and Yu Le curiously looked at Sun Wen.

"This is called absorbing the aura of Europe," Sun Wen winked, "Sucking all the good luck over."

"That works? I’ll try it too."

Qin Guanglin mimicked Sun Wen, taking a deep breath towards Yu Le, nodding, "Indeed, I feel luckier now."

"..."

"..."

Yu Le looked dumbfounded at the two, was catching a good hand that big a deal?!

"I didn’t expect you guys to be so childish..." Jiang Lingling was stunned by them, her face screaming, ’Is this even a thing?’

"You don’t understand, this is mysticism," Sun Wen shook his head at her, "Wanna try?"

Jiang Lingling looked at Yu Le, and as he happened to look back at her with innocent blinking eyes, "They’ve all done it, you try too."

"No, no, I’m quite lucky already," Jiang Lingling quickly waved her hands.

Inhaling the aura of Europe... isn’t that something little kids make up?

Sun Wen turned and took another big breath towards Qin Guanglin, who was taken aback, "I don’t have ’the aura of Europe’."

"I’m inhaling your creative aura," Sun Wen hummed proudly, "Once it’s all absorbed, I’ll be invincible."

"Hey, I’ll take a breath too." Yu Le’s eyes lit up, as he leaned over to take a deep breath towards Qin Guanglin.

Hey, creativity +1.

Men, they’re just kids who never really grow up.

Until everyone’s food was served, they finally ended their pointless game and settled down to eat.

"You improved your meal today?" Qin Guanglin was surprised by the fatty meat on Sun Wen’s plate.

"Of course, I’m going to eat meat every day from now on."

"Did you switch?"

"No." Sun Wen tugged at the corner of his mouth, revealing a smile, "I broke up."

"Uh..."

Qin Guanglin was somewhat taken aback and thought for a moment before saying, "Should I congratulate you?"

"Definitely, I’m thrilled." Sun Wen picked up a piece of pork belly, looked at it from both sides, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed vigorously. "Let’s call Xiao Yu and celebrate together another day."

"Ah." Qin Guanglin sighed. Although a short pain is better than a long one, it was still painful, and he wondered when this guy would get over it.

"Did Brother Wen break up?" Yu Le was even more surprised, "They didn’t break up after the last fight, what happened this time? How did they break up?"

"You know nothing." Sun Wen rolled his eyes, "How fierce the quarrel doesn’t relate to breaking up; even the worst fights can be mended as long as things cool down."

"So why did you break up?"

"When you’re too lazy to even argue, that’s when you break up."

"..."

"Weren’t you planning to take her out? Didn’t it happen?" Qin Guanglin asked.

"I did go, went there and came back on the same day." Sun Wen took another bite of meat, leaned back in his chair contentedly, squinting his eyes, "Broke up the same day."

"What happened, Brother Wen? Tell us about it?" Jiang Lingling loved hearing stories the most.

"Um..." Sun Wen looked at the three of them, seeing their curious faces, he gestured towards the bar, "Go, get me a bottle of Coke."

Jiang Lingling scurried over to fetch four glass bottles of Coke, "Here, straws for you."

"Thanks."

"Thanks."

"What do we need straws for?" Sun Wen scoffed at Qin Guanglin disdainfully, "So womanly."

"I think the bottle mouth is dirty."

"It’s all the same, you won’t get sick from it."

Sun Wen drank half a bottle straight from the bottle.

"This is Coke, not beer, why are you blowing into the bottle?" Qin Guanglin watched as his posture resembled that of drinking alcohol.

"Come on, shorten the long story, Brother Wen."

Lingling urged, waiting for a story to accompany her meal.

"Well, it’s a long story..." Sun Wen put down the Coke and sighed.

Qin Guanglin laughed, "Then make a long story short."

How long can a one-day affair be?

"Went out together, then dined, then fought, then broke up, that’s it." Sun Wen chuckled and began to eat, "Thanks for the Coke, Lingling."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"You just tricked us for Coke, didn’t you?" Qin Guanglin was suspicious.

Jiang Lingling also realized, exclaiming, "No, start over."

Yu Le looked at Sun Wen, then at the Coke in his hand, and stayed silent. With Coke, he was fine whether he heard the story or not.

"Sad things, better not mentioned." Sun Wen feigned a sigh, "All you need to know is that I’m single now. If you have any sisters, girlfriends, classmates, remember to introduce them to me."

"You can guess what happened with your little issues."

Qin Guanglin hadn’t stopped eating and was almost finished. He put down his chopsticks and started sipping his Coke.

"What do you mean, little issues? That was a grand and magnificent love affair." Sun Wen, not sure if it was because he got his way with the Coke or was just jokingly lightening the mood, appeared much more relaxed, his brows not as furrowed. He squeezed his eyes at them with a cheeky grin, "One bottle isn’t enough, get another one to soothe my throat, and I’ll tell you all about my legendary love life, amazing, huh?"

"Keep dreaming," Qin Guanglin didn’t believe him at all.
