Chapter 21 Senior Sister's Niece Li Shishi
The girl in yellow blinked and said, "Waiter?" She pretended to be confused, and then seemed to suddenly realize, "Oh, I see! It doesn't matter, this is a 24-hour service place. Please come in, sir!" There was a hint of black humor in her words.
Shangguan Jiannan seemed to be nailed down, unable to move. The girl in yellow smiled and held his right hand, like a guide playing with the world, "Master! Since you are here, make the best of it, don't waste time!" Her tone was light-hearted and humorous.
Shangguan Jiannan was speechless. The girl in yellow said mischievously: "Uncle, am I too ugly to scare you and make you afraid to move?" Shangguan Jiannan quickly denied it. She smiled and said: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, action is the most important thing!"
Shangguan Jiannan was still hesitant. The girl in yellow sighed helplessly, "Sir, stop wasting time! Don't you want to do something? Then come quickly!" This unique black humor made Shangguan Jiannan even more embarrassed.
He gritted his teeth and asked helplessly, "Are you going out?" The girl in yellow nodded.
He asked again: "Where are you going, girl? Can I go with you?" He was like a drowning man grabbing at a life-saving straw.
The girl in yellow, however, was like a very defensive detective, "Just say it here. We have never met before. I don't like strange people where I'm going."
Her answer made people laugh and cry. Finally, Shangguan Jiannan said helplessly: "Then I will wait for you at the gate?" He was like a servant waiting to be summoned.
However, the girl in yellow stepped back again and again, shaking her head to refuse.
Shangguan Jiannan said anxiously: "Girl, don't be afraid, I have no ill intentions!"
When the girl in yellow saw Shangguan Jiannan's sincere expression, she sighed with relief: "Oh, sir, I finally met someone who doesn't doubt me! The world is really hell these days!"
Shangguan Jiannan agreed seriously: "Yes, this 'Du Lotto' storm is simply a social mudslide, all kinds of things are coming out!"
The girl smiled mischievously and said, "Haha, sir, please sit down. Are you also addicted to 'Du Lotto' and unable to extricate yourself?"
Shangguan Jiannan's eyes flickered, and after looking around, he whispered, "Little girl, don't laugh at me. I came to Tiger Wing City this time just for the 'Du Lotto'!"
The girl asked warily: "Are you a high-ranking official from the imperial capital?" He looked like a rich young man, but so serious, something felt wrong.
Shangguan Jiannan waved his hands hastily: "No! No! I came from the mountains, not to work, I came to gamble! You won't report me, will you?"
The girl sat down, approached him, and said jokingly: "Little brother, you are really good at joking! I also went to buy the 'Du Lotto' and waited for the lottery draw early in the morning!"
Shangguan Jiannan asked curiously, "Why are you so interested in this 'Du Lotto'?"
The girl joked: "In Tiger Wing City, if you don't buy 'Du Lotto', you can't survive just like a person can't breathe!"
Shangguan Jiannan was skeptical: "Really? Then I'll go and see it tomorrow."
The girl smiled and said, "Let me tell you, this is a magical adventure in the real world! Go, go!"
Shangguan Jiannan then took out ten gold coins mysteriously and asked in a low voice, "I have a question for you. May I ask how old you are?"
The girl retracted her hand in surprise: "Uncle, what do you mean by this? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Shangguan Jiannan said seriously: "I swear, I have no ill will towards you. I just want to know your age so that I can 'sign your fortune'. Do you know why I attach so much importance to this number?" He smiled awkwardly.
The girl laughed and said, "I'm already eighteen! An eighteen-year-old girl is a flower." Then she returned the gold coin to Shangguan Jiannan.
Shangguan Jiannan was overjoyed: "Eighteen! Eighteen! Great! I'll sign number eighteen!" He muttered to himself: I didn't expect that the women in this industry are so fresh and refined.
Then the girl invited Shangguan Jiannan into the house to talk in detail. Shangguan Jiannan walked in and thought: A woman who does this kind of business must be slovenly and vulgar. However, the room in front of him was clean and elegant. His prejudice began to collapse.
After entering the house, various surprising images kept flashing through his mind: pipa, guzheng, dongxiao... He realized that his concept needed to be completely changed.
This seemingly ordinary girl subverted his stereotype of the industry.
The girl in yellow poured out a cup of steaming warm water, with a subtle smile on her face: "Hey, little brother, please sit down. The fire here is out, so I can only ask you to drink a cup of warm water."
Shangguan Jiannan felt a little uneasy, "Miss, I'm so sorry to bother you so early in the morning. I really feel bad."
The girl in yellow pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't be polite, little brother! Let's get to the point, but remember to keep your voice down." After saying that, she sat lightly next to Shangguan Jiannan.
Shangguan Jiannan was a little embarrassed, but when he saw the girl's beautiful eyes full of curiosity, he felt ashamed and thought that he was looking at her with tinted glasses.
He coughed lightly and asked seriously, "Miss, do you know a girl named Li Shishi?"
The girl blinked. "You're looking for Li Shishi? What's your relationship?"
Shangguan Jiannan replied: "I am Shangguan Jiannan, I come from the deep mountains, and Li Shishi is my senior sister."
The girl showed a look of surprise: "Really? Then do you know Zhao Jinghua?"
Shangguan Jiannan nodded, "Of course, she is your aunt. She was the one who brought you out when your family was in trouble."
The girl in yellow giggled and said mischievously, "Little brother, actually I am Li Shishi!"
Shangguan Jiannan was about to speak, but the girl in yellow seemed to realize her own gaffe, and quickly covered it up with a smile and took out a jade token: "Look, this is the jade token that my aunt gave me."
Shangguan Jiannan took the jade token and looked at it, then nodded and confirmed, "Yes, this jade token does carry the aura of your senior sister."
The girl in yellow took a deep breath, sorted out her thoughts, and said in a calm tone: "In Tiger Wing City, on the fifth, fifteenth and fifth day of every month, there will be a 'horse race' on the shore of Daming Lake!"
"Horse racing? What does this have to do with 'Du Lotto'?" Shangguan Jiannan asked curiously.
"Of course it's related! Thirty people, thirty horses, from number one to number thirty, each horse has a unique number. If the champion horse happens to be the number you won, hehe, then you become the lucky one!" the girl explained.
Shangguan Jiannan suddenly realized: "Oh! For example, if I sign number 18 today, if the horse numbered 18 wins the championship tomorrow, I will win the prize? That sounds good!"
"That's right!" the girl answered affirmatively.
