Chapter 505: Chapter 281_2

He didn’t join the card game last time.

This family doesn’t really have any collective activities other than dining together, so not including him at all doesn’t seem quite right.

However, Shen Jingxiu, who most of the time replies instantly, didn’t respond to Wenyan right away.

Wenyan thought he might be resting, so she stared at her phone screen for a while before turning it off.

In the end, even Su Yang and Shen Yuan decided to join in.

Everyone went to Shen Jingchuan’s room, took out two decks of cards, and began the night’s battle.

Su Yang had forgotten her phone at the dining table just now, but now she had it in her hand.

Seeing that Jingchuan had started shuffling the cards, she said, "Wait for me for a moment, I’m going to call your eldest brother to see if he’s feeling any better."

"Okay," Jingchuan replied, slowing down his shuffling as he asked Wenyan, "Do you believe I can be super-lucky tonight?"

Wenyan frowned and slowly shook her head, "I really can’t be sure about that, drawing cards is about luck, not just skill and intellect."

Shen Jingchuan lowered his voice, "You don’t understand, you say it can be done, it can certainly be done!"

"Why?" Is that so? Wenyan also lowered her voice to match Shen Jingchuan’s.

Shen Jingchuan said seriously, "Haven’t I told you before? You are my lucky goddess, if you say I can do it, then I definitely can."

Wenyan was at a loss for words: "..."

Seeing her silent, Shen Jingchuan urged her, "What are you stunned for? Say something."

Wenyan, however, ignored him.

Because at that moment, her ears were perked up.

She was listening to the phone conversation between Su Yang and Shen Jingxiu.

The call that Su Yang had made was answered not long after it was dialed.

"Hello, Jingxiu. How are you feeling now, any better?"

Since everyone was sitting close by, they could all hear Shen Jingxiu’s voice from the other end of the phone.

His voice sounded quite normal, not like he was feeling very uncomfortable.

"Yeah, I feel much better now, Mom. Have you all finished dinner?"

"Yes, we just finished. We were going to check on you but ended up coming to Jingchuan’s room for cards, so we decided to give you a call instead. Did you order dinner?"

"Not yet."

"Why haven’t you ordered? Were you sleeping just now?"

"No, I took a nap this afternoon and now I can’t sleep."

"Can’t sleep? That’s good, get up and order something to eat, you burned a lot of energy during your workout this afternoon, how can you not eat at night?"

"I will, in a bit. I’m not really hungry right now. You guys have fun, don’t worry about me."

"Well, okay, just remember to eat, I will check in half an hour, and if you haven’t eaten by then, I will order for you."

"Don’t worry, Mom."

"Alright then, I’m hanging up."

After putting down the phone, Su Yang immediately said to everyone, "Okay, let’s start drawing cards."

Everyone started to get moving, only Wenyan took out her phone.

If Big Brother wasn’t sleeping just now, why didn’t he reply to my message?

If he didn’t check his phone earlier, he should do it now.

But when Wenyan opened the chat with Shen Jingxiu, the most recent message was still the one she had sent; he had not replied.

What’s going on? Wenyan found it a bit abnormal.

She turned off her phone screen, and for a moment, she was caught in a mix of confusion and thought, forgetting to draw her cards.

It took a gentle prod from Shen Jingchuan’s elbow to bring her back to reality.

"What’s the matter?"

"What’s the matter? Why are you so absent-minded?" Jingchuan tapped the table, "It’s your turn to draw a card, what are you pondering so deeply about? What on the phone is so attractive to you?"

"Oh, nothing. Just suddenly thinking about something," Wenyan said as she drew a card.

Jingchuan’s curiosity was piqued, "What are you thinking about? Tell us, maybe we can all offer some advice."

"It’s nothing," Wenyan shook her head, "Let’s just draw cards."

"You’re lying, your whole expression was off just now, something important must have happened to you. Share with us, otherwise, we’ll all worry about you."

Jingchuan might have been better off not saying anything.

As soon as they mentioned it, Wenyan suddenly felt the rest of the four pairs of eyes turning towards her.

Not wanting to affect everyone’s mood for fun, she begrudgingly came up with a half-true, half-false excuse.

"Actually, it’s nothing, just that a close friend of mine hasn’t replied to my message, and I’m a bit worried."
