Chapter 8
Half the private roorew quiet in an instant
The people ere farther away didn’t actually hear the conversation at their table, but it was as if the heavy at was up and they all looked over, one after the other
For a while, the private room was as quiet as a library
No one was clear on the details of Yu Sui and shi+ Luo’s relationshi+p Their rievances — were just those which could be seen on the surface Their actual thoughts were neverabout as well as fire and water would be understating their relationshi+p
If shi+ Luo were to take out a watermelon knife this instant to have it out with Yu Sui, no one would be too surprised
From the moment they learned that Yu Sui had returned to China, everyone had the vague feeling that this would happen sooner or later
One by one, the people ere singing, drinking, and playing dice stopped and looked surreptitiously at them with bated breaths, their nerves somewhat keyed up
shi+ Luo was already half drunk The redness on his neck had spread all the way into the low neckline of his T-shi+rt, enhancing the wicked air about him shi+ Luo raised his hand and rubbed his neck He reached out with his long leg to bring over a low stool With legs bent, he sat in front of Yu Sui, facing across from him with the table between the” shi+ Luo stared at Yu Sui intently He slowly pulled open the tab on his can of beer while saying, “I haven’t been able to properly greet Yu Shen”
Without waiting for Yu Sui to speak, Chen Huo interrupted with a s each other now? Hey, your gaa for Wawa, I’ you … ”
shi+ Luo refused to be distracted and treated Chen Huo as if he wasn’t even there He looked at Yu Sui and asked, “Is Yu Shen for a new club?”
Yu Sui looked at shi+ Luo He was surprised but then dismissed it
shi+ Luo really was too silantly watched the already intoxicated shi+ Luo He asked quietly, “shi+ Luo, I think you’ve had a bit too much to drink Maybe I should call your team assistant for you? Or I could take you back You can talk about this some other day…”
Gu Gan had once looked after shi+ Luo Although shi+ Luo had become even more reclusive in the past two years, he has always respected Gu Gan This tih, shi+ Luo couldn’t attend to hi He only had Yu Sui in his eyes “Yu Shen, you’re build a new club I’ht, aren’t I? ”
Yu Sui knew that he could no longer avoid the matter, and after a moment, said, “Yes”
shi+ Luo nodded and said to hiain”
shi+ Luo took a sip of his beer and asked, “Then, are you stilla striker?”
Everyone was stupefied
The players sitting some distance away looked at each other helplessly
What does shi+ Luo mean by this? Could it be that he wanted to join the Yu Sui’s tearow old and die without having any dealings with each other?
Just how much has he had to drink to compel him to take the initiative to ask Yu Sui if they still needed strikers? If these tinded up in the saet someone stabbed?
Wouldn’t that team simply be an abyss of extreme misery?
Gu Gan and Chen Huo looked at each other They didn’t understand what shi+ Luo o, wasn’t this little wolf cub just raring to bite Yu Sui to death?
Compared to the shock of the crowd, Yu Sui was still quite cal strikers”
shi+ Luo stared straight into Yu Sui’s eyes “As I am now, am I now qualified to be your teao accepted that he had no place to feel grief-stricken But looking at shi+ Luo, he unexpectedly found it a bit hard to breathe
Yu Sui nodded “You are”
shi+ Luo let out a snort of laughter, his eyes full of ridicule
Chen Huo’s face immediately relaxed
shi+ Luo sood then&k2026;”
“Weren’t they just playing dice over there?” shi+ Luo took another sip of beer and looked at Yu Sui “Yu Shen, would you like to play a gaood He tried to forestall, saying, “Play ith you?”
It was as though shi+ Luo could only see Yu Sui as he stared fixedly at the other His long ainst the marble tabletop He slowly said, “On this tray, there are nine glasses of vodka used forcocktails, the kind that has a proof of over 90…and one glass of lemon tea”
shi+ Luo looked at Yu Sui and the corners of his htly “Yu Shen, pick a cup and drink it all down If you e to pick the lemon tea …”
“That’s utter sht!” Chen Huo had coh to play this game with you? That’s a one in ten chance, who’d be able to pick that? And say that he does ets a cup of lemon tea? You’re crazy…”
“If you pick it out,” shi+ Luo interrupted Chen Huo, “I’ll waive the contract fee to join your new team”
In an instant, there was absolute silence in the private roorim “I won’t need to pay me a penny and I’ll work myself to the bone for you I will play for you for an entire season So, are you playing or not?”
Chen Huo was stunned He was duot what scolding he’d been about to deliver Stuttering, he said, “But if he chooses … The vodka?”
shi+ Luo stared at Yu Sui who had reh out He could hardly conceal the hatred in his eyes He slowly said frolass of whatever you choose”
“Drink the entire glass?!” Chen Huo exploded in anger “Are you insane? This big a glass has at least 400like that would result in so hiht have no idea but don’t you know about his condition?! ”
“His life is valuable, and my contract fee for an entire season is worthless?” shi+ Luo said calh return That’s just fair”
Gu Gan gave shi+ Luo a warning look “Evil”
shi+ Luo turned a deaf ear He felt around for a cigarette and put it between his lips He bowed his head and lit it “Yu Shen, it’s a one in ten chance Are you playing?”
shi+ Luo took a puff of his cigarette His tone was no longer so patient “If you’re not going to play, I’ll have the server take it away”
Chen Huo was agitated “He won’t play! Take it away!”
shi+ Luo was about to get up…
Yu Sui said, “I’ll play”
shi+ Luo’s fingers tre the ashes burn his hand
“Are you thinking straight?!” After astupefied, Chen Huo was co to die? What about your stomach? Don’t you knohat could happen to you? You want to end up in the ER again?”
Yu Sui’s face was serene, and he said again, “I’ll play”
shi+ Luo blew out some smoke and cursed silently
shi+ Luo threw his half sarette into his empty beer can “Let me state it clearly …”
