"I'm sorry, I promised Yang Lin to go out with him tonight," Chen Haoxuan said apologetically to Zhou Kexin.
"Then I'll go too," Zhou Kexin replied eagerly.
"Xuan and I are going to the casino. It's dangerous for a girl like you to go to those places; you shouldn't go," Yang Lin explained.
"If you both can go, why can't I? I don't care—I want to go too," Zhou Kexin pouted.
Not only would Chen Haoxuan not take Zhou Kexin with them, but he also wouldn't agree if Chen Yina wanted to go, because those places were chaotic and often involved fights and robberies.
Zhang Beining rushed back to the library after realizing she left her notebook there. Fortunately, her notebook was still there. She opened it and found the last page had written: "Living is for enjoying life." "Living is for enjoying life? That makes a lot of sense! It's more meaningful than what I've heard before about living to experience life," Zhang Beining muttered to herself.
Suddenly inspired, Zhang Beining decided to let this mysterious person help her solve her questions. She ran to the campus store and bought a notebook, then wrote down all the questions she couldn't figure out. After that, she returned to the library and placed the notebook on a table inside. She was quite familiar with the librarian and asked him not to take away the notebook she left on the table.
After school in the afternoon, Yang Lin and Liu Junfeng were having dinner at Chen Haoxuan's place. After eating, they chatted for a while before heading out together. Yang Lin took Chen Haoxuan and Liu Zhifeng to a luxurious nightclub. At the entrance, Yang Lin said to Chen Haoxuan, "The basement of this nightclub is a casino. They only do business with acquaintances; if you're a stranger, they won't let you in. Don't worry; I'm familiar with them. Since I'm bringing you, you'll be able to get in."
"Is this casino legitimate? I've heard many casinos are not proper; if you win too much money, they might cause trouble for you!" Chen Haoxuan asked Yang Lin worriedly.
"The boss of this casino is a big shot. Unless you win millions, even if you want him to cause trouble for you, he wouldn't bother," Yang Lin said proudly to Chen Haoxuan.
"That's good then; let's go! We can go in," Chen Haoxuan replied.
After Yang Lin led Chen Haoxuan and Liu Junfeng into the nightclub and reached the staircase, he waved at the wall and greeted, "Hey... it's me, Yang Lin. These two behind me are my friends; we want to play a few games!"
Just as Chen Haoxuan was doubting whether Yang Lin had lost his mind, one of the walls at the staircase opened up, revealing a long corridor inside.
"Let's go!" Yang Lin proudly led Chen Haoxuan and Liu Junfeng into the casino.
After a long corridor and several turns, they finally arrived at the casino that Yang Lin mentioned. Contrary to what Chen Haoxuan expected, it was not filled with smoke and chaos; instead, the air was quite clear. There were many people gambling inside, and Chen Haoxuan estimated that there were at least a few hundred.
"This casino is luxurious, right? Let me tell you, all the other casinos in New City are smoky and chaotic, but this one has the best air because it's a place for wealthy people. If your net worth is less than ten thousand Renminbi, you don't even qualify to enter," Yang Lin explained.
"Then how did you get in?" Liu Junfeng asked curiously.
Yang Lin held his head high and proudly replied, "Of course I can get in! My older brother used to manage this place."
After giving Chen Haoxuan and the others a few reminders, Yang Lin led them to gamble. Chen Haoxuan came prepared today with ten thousand Renminbi in cash.
Yang Lin took them to the high-low betting area. He acted like a big spender, pulling out a bill and slamming it on the small betting spot on the table. "I bet on small."
Yang Lin turned to Chen Haoxuan and Liu Junfeng, saying, "You guys should bet with me! My luck has been really good these past few days; if you bet with me, I guarantee you'll win money." It seemed that Yang Lin had a knack for gambling.
"We'll wait a bit," Chen Haoxuan said. He didn't believe in Yang Lin's luck! If Yang Lin's luck were that good, he wouldn't have been chased and beaten by a group of people the other day. Chen Haoxuan needed some time to understand the gambling methods of this century.
"Betting is closed," the dealer announced before starting to shake the dice. "Rolling a three, five, six—fourteen points, big."
"Damn it, what kind of bad luck is this? I lost on the first round," Yang Lin said angrily. His frustration showed that he couldn't handle losing even a little money.
"Two thousand, betting on small," Yang Lin threw two thousand Renminbi onto the small betting spot.
"Four, four, five—thirteen points, big." The dealer collected Yang Lin's two thousand Renminbi again.
"Damn it all; I'm cursed today," Yang Lin fumed. Not willing to give up, he directly tossed five thousand Renminbi onto the small betting spot this time. He had brought more money than Chen Haoxuan; he had brought over thirty thousand Renminbi in total.
"One hundred forty-six, eleven points, big." The dealer coldly collected the money that Yang Lin had bet.
Yang Lin dejectedly slapped his forehead and said, "Damn it, why is my luck so bad today?"
"Sir, would you like to place another bet?" the dealer politely asked Yang Lin.
"I'll bet again, I'll buy small, RMB." Yang Lin said angrily, thinking to himself that if he lost this time, he would gamble on something else.
In the end, luck was still not on Yang Lin's side; he lost his money again. This time, he didn't want to gamble anymore. He turned to Chen Haoxuan and the others and said, "My luck is terrible today; let's go! We'll come back in a few days."
"Just because your luck is bad doesn't mean mine is. Watch closely; I'll show you what a gambling god looks like," Chen Haoxuan joked.
After shaking the dice, Chen Haoxuan pulled out the ten thousand cash he had brought today and placed it all on the small bet. "Open, one three four, eight points, small," the dealer called out sweetly.
"Damn it, this is so unfair! I bet so much on small and it never came up; now that I don't bet, it shows up. Am I really that unlucky today?" Yang Lin said enviously.
"My luck is just good. Why don't you bet with me?" Chen Haoxuan said with a smile to Yang Lin. In reality, Chen Haoxuan wasn't just lucky; he had figured out how many points there were before placing his bets. With his super brain working, he discovered a secret to knowing the size of the dice: listening to the sound. Since the six sides of the dice have different point values, they produce different sounds. At the moment the dealer shook and set down the dice, Chen Haoxuan could tell their size in that instant.
