Chapter 287: Gamblers of Each Other (5400 Words)

"Luojia."

Ansu said softly, his eyes drooping down, his blue eyes so clear that they reflected the cheek of the girl opposite him. He paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about it. After hesitating for a while, he finally took it seriously. Really, from the bottom of my heart,

"Dear Miss Luojia Fast."

"I'm very grateful to you for spending a year's savings to support me, and I'm also grateful to you for inviting me to this store today to repay the three cakes you still owe. From now on, we will be cleared. I appreciate your honesty. But I have a question——"

Luo Jia did not wear the nun's robe in the past, but instead wore a snow-white pleated skirt, paired with a light-colored dress and dark moccasins. The same long snow-white hair was flowing down, and she lowered her head. , his cheeks were a little red from being stared at by Ansu, his golden eyes looked away timidly, and at the same time he put the blueberry cake in his hand into his mouth.

".What are you doing?" She bit into the cake and said slightly slurred.

"You damn thing, you spent all your money on studying for a Ph.D.," Ansupi said with a smile, "How can you still have money to settle the bill?"

".Hey." Luo Jia started to act stupid and put another piece of cake into his mouth.

"A cup of hot milk, two pieces of blueberry cake, and a plate of cocoa cake." Ansu looked at the bill and couldn't help but said, "How can you eat better than Luo Xiaohei?"

"I'm growing!" Luo Jia was a little dissatisfied.

The store manager of the high-end cake chain ‘Filushijia’ has already begun to pay attention to them.

She stared at the two of them kindly, and gently placed the bill book on the table. Although she still had a professional smile on her face, she was already thinking about whether to notify security.

Their store is a high-end aristocratic store, and the two boys and girls look like they are still at school age, so they probably won't be able to pay.

This cake shop is located on the right bank of the Maria River. The refreshing autumn wind blows moist water vapor. The sycamore leaves outside the window cast tiny shadows in the orange sunlight, shining on the seats of the two of them.

"Mr. Ansu, I have no money." Luojia tilted her head. She is an honest girl, so she said pitifully, "I gave you all the money. I have no money to eat. I can only wash the dishes and pay the bill." Already."

The store manager's expression when he looked at Ansu changed instantly. This young man looked so bright, but he actually did such a thing behind his back.

"Don't do this to me, little girl. You just use all your money to study for a Ph.D."

Ansu Sigma Morningstar said coldly, preemptively, "How can a girl ask a boy to pay? You still owe me three pieces of cake."

"After settling the bill, we'll be clear."

A clear-minded person never falls into the trap of an evil woman.

Ansu is not short of money, but he will never take the initiative to pay for any woman - especially if the other party is treating her.

This is not because he is stingy or does not respect women's rights. On the contrary, this is a reflection of Ansu's respect for women and equality between men and women. Girls must not be deprived of their right to pay.

Ansu needs to rectify the atmosphere. There are too many turtles in the world who don't respect women's rights.

The store manager's eyes when he looked at Luo Jia changed instantly. This girl looked so innocent, but secretly she was a master of Ph.D.!

This couple is not a simple couple and must be dealt with carefully. The store manager's heart was ringing with alarm bells.

“That’s good then”

Miss Luojia was not angry at being framed by Ansu for betraying Tiangang. She stuck out her tongue, thought about it, and took out a small book from the small bag she carried with her - it was her account book and diary. , with a kitten drawn on the cover, Luo Jia took it out, placed it gently on the table, and turned to the latest page.

I have known this little boy for a year, and I know that he never wants to suffer, so the little saint has gradually learned some countermeasures against him.

"What should it be like?" She put the pencil against her forehead and thought for a while, "Two pieces of blueberries. That adds up to five dollars."

The little saint was writing in the ledger.

Ansu took a closer look and saw another line in the new page of the diary:

‘July 6th’

‘Luojia owes Ansu five pieces of blueberry cake, a plate of cocoa cake, and a glass of milk’

Their previous bill didn't get thinner, it got bigger.

"We are not clear-cut, Mr. Ansu."

Ansu heard Luo Jia whispering softly. The early autumn sunshine shone into the cake shop through the gaps in the sycamore leaves. Luo Jia's smile also fell in the orange sunshine. She looked at Ansu seriously, her white and slender fingers gently Holding the pencil in her hand, she tapped the tip of the pen on the account book, pointed at 'July 6th', and said softly,

"I owe you more."

She blinked, "Mr. Ansu, I'm sorry."

"The bill between us is not over."

she said.

Ansu looked at Luo Jia's accounting and wrote every entry carefully in the notebook. Because it was about principle and dignity, he was determined not to let a woman take advantage of him. It was also about principle and dignity. The proud and serious little saint is determined not to take advantage of others.

So she chose to keep accounts and wrote down every account between them, no matter how big or small.

"I didn't bring any money when I went out today." Ansu said helplessly.

"But I spent all my money to study for my doctorate. I was a bad boy. I lost all my money and had no money to eat, so I had to find Mr. Ansu, a good boy."

Luo Jia tilted her head and deliberately followed Ansu's words. She tilted her head, wore moccasin boots on her feet, puffed out her cheeks, rolled up her sleeves, and deliberately said in a social tone like reading a dog, "Wait for me. Go read another book and make a comeback! ”

"Thank you so much." Ansu sighed helplessly, "Wait until I see you perform the trapeze."

"It's impossible to lose."

Luojia held her chin, looked at Ansu calmly, and said confidently,

"I won't lose on the stock I'm betting on."

That confident voice was calm and generous, just like the bright autumn light in front of the window sill, falling on the restaurant openly.

Secretly observing the store manager here, what she saw was that she was frightened and her scalp was numb. She couldn't help but start to question what was wrong with this society. The academic style and academic spirit were so good, and such a young girl went astray to the right path and started studying for a Ph.D. since she was a child. Got it

And so blatant.

Also, "The stock I am interested in will definitely not lose money." Every PhD in probability is so confident.

She had already begun to think about reporting the case to the Holy See of Order and arresting these two people in a gambling rehabilitation center.

"Sister, you are so social."

Ansu shook his head helplessly. He looked at the top student Luo Jia's gesture that was not seen in daily life, and the deliberately made appearance of a social person in her imagination, which was like an exaggerated performance like a stage play. Even he couldn't help but laugh.

"So Mr. Ansu, can you help me settle the bill?" Luo Jia showed an expression of success, "One day, I will pay it all back."

"So can you accept me on credit for the rest of my life -"

"You won't let me lose the bet, and I won't let you lose the bet either."

Ansu sighed. Since it has been recorded in the bill, it does not violate his principle of respecting women's right to treat guests. Moreover, Luojia does have no money. All her money goes into her own pocket.

It's impossible to really let Luo Jia wash the dishes.

He had already seen that Luo Jia was gambling, a small game without any malice, showing everything he had, and then betting that he would lend her money again. Originally, the two of them were settled after settling the bill, but now it seems Come on, it's not over yet.

Ansu was aroused to win and lose. As a player, he was interested in any game.

If Luo Jia dares to plot against himself, then he will plot against him.

Being born small never suffers.

"Okay, I agree."

Ansu smiled slightly, "I will lend you money, and I agree to this bet - but since it is a bet, the stakes must be bigger to be good enough!"

When Xiao Luojia heard that Ansu agreed to her credit, she relaxed a little. But when she heard Ansu's next sentence, she didn't understand what he meant. What does it mean to have a bigger stake?

She suddenly had a bad feeling.

But Ansu raised his hand towards the store manager on the counter, "Madam, how much does it cost to pay for our table?"

The store manager walked over with a wary face and looked at Ansu with wary and suspicious eyes. How could this boy who had been a bad student since childhood have the money to pay for it?

In her mind, apart from her better looks, Ansu was no different from the second-rate kids who dropped out of primary education and played marbles on the street.

"Sir, we are a high-end chain cake shop exclusively for nobles. There are dozens of them all over Naraku. The prices are quite high."

She specially emphasized the four words 'special offer to nobles'. Although she had a professional smile, her eyes were somewhat proud and even disdainful, "It's five gold coins and three copper coins in total. Are you sure you can pay?"

"Do you need me to help you contact your parents?" She asked thoughtfully.

"Is this enough?" Ansu calmly handed over a gold-plated bill, "I went out today without any money, so I can only use this to settle the bill. I hope you don't dislike it."

Enya was supposed to exchange this note for Ansu.

However, Ansu felt that based on his understanding of his father, he would avoid being scolded by his father after redeeming it.

For example: ‘You’re such a prodigal son, how dare you win money when you go out to study for a Ph.D.! ’

The worst-case scenario is that 'you have caused the gold mine yourself and you have to manage it yourself. Men must have a sense of responsibility and don't think about escaping when encountering hardships! ’ Wait, and then be forced to go home and inherit the family property.

I didn't change it for the time being, so I took it with me.

It's a hot potato.

The store manager took it casually and took a look at it. He didn't pay attention to it at first, but then he paused and took a closer look. His pupils were shaking wildly and goosebumps stood up all over his body.

This is obviously a gambling ticket, but it is not an ordinary gambling ticket, it is a customized gambling ticket, and the denomination unit is measured in ‘bars’!

She can be regarded as an old Imperial City person who has come into contact with many high-ranking people. After repeated appraisals, she knew that this bill was authentic, because the pattern on it was drawn by the Imperial Master Mr. Mayer himself. The sacred Holy Light Cathedral , she had the honor to visit this master's painting exhibition, and this touch was indeed the same scene.

And it’s impossible to fake it, and people don’t dare to fake it.

Gambling tickets of this level have independent numbers and the seal of the Bishop of the Glory Holy See. Once the counterfeit tickets are redeemed, they will be arrested and jailed by the Holy See on the same day.

Moreover, she was lucky enough to hear guests mention this high-stakes gambling ticket from 'a small gold mine'. Only one was made this year, and it was the one from last night that was enough to be recorded in the history of the exam, and its holder , is the participant and winner of that exam, the young man who has become famous in the imperial capital.

The big boy who defeated Princess Jin Yuan, received an unrated rating, and blew up the examination room.

——Ansu Morningstar.

The store manager was a little paralyzed. She was still thinking about whether to arrest this young man into the Church of Order. Now that she thought about it, she felt scared. This kind of evil devil could blow up the situation when he entered the situation!

Ansu's odds last night were one to ten, so this flimsy gambling ticket in his hand was worth ten gold mines.

Even after paying taxes, there are eight small gold mines!

"Mr. Ansu."

Her expression was almost numb, and she showed a look that had seen through everything, "Let me guess, I will let you eat this meal for free on the grounds that I can't find it, and I will be proud that you can enter our small shop." .

"Then you will take this huge gambling ticket and parade around the streets, pretending to be a pig and eating tigers to scare people, in order to complete the purpose of free prostitution."

"I spent several years in the imperial capital eating and drinking for free, and finally gained a huge reputation without spending a penny. In the end, I was even recognized by the royal family and received a noble title."

"How could I have been born like this?" Ansu was surprised, "And how did you come up with such an exciting world-class plot?"

"Because this is what your father did in the imperial capital when he was young." The store manager complained as if he was dead, "He bankrupted my father just by relying on this trick!"

".Speechless." Ansu sighed, secretly thinking that he was born at the wrong time. Such a fun pretentious plot was preempted by his father.

It's all my father's fault, he even turned the other party into a victim

"I won't let you pay on credit."

The store manager learns from every experience and adheres to the principle of not giving in to money.

"You must pay. The fifty stores of 'Philippe Saga' contain my decades of hard work, my father's wishes, and the centuries-old craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation in our family. We will never destroy Morningstar again." Home’s hands!”

"The honor of our family will never accept the insult of money again!"

She said righteously.

"My father and I are different. I have to pay the bill."

Ansu shook his head helplessly. He looked at the store manager with a smile, "I'll just use this gambling ticket to pay the bill, but I'll order some more desserts."

"Please stop joking." The store manager was not intimidated by the evil money. "No matter how much you order, we can't get change."

"Your cake shop is a chain store, right? I'll order fifty." Ansu said, "This ticket is yours."

"Okay ~ Boss Ansu." The store manager smiled from the bottom of his heart. He was instantly frightened by the evil money. He nodded and bowed quickly, "The Philly Family is yours! Thank you for your patronage, Boss Ansu!"

Boss Ansu is so majestic. He is so well-organized at a young age. The unit of payment is "bar" and the unit of ordering is "home"!

She took out the land deed and said, "From now on, this is yours. I will write your name on it."

"Not mine."

Ansu shook his head, raised his eyes, looked at the confused girl across the table, and said with a smile,

"It's hers."

"Because she asked me to borrow the money, and she asked me to pay the bill. But I didn't have any change, so I had to buy the cake shop. So she asked me to borrow the money, which is very reasonable. matter."

"She also started this gamble. You heard it clearly just now."

The autumn light outside the window seemed to be stagnant, the sparkling Maria River seemed to have stopped flowing, and everything lost its color in an instant. Luojia's eyes widened slightly——

"Why?"

She was as ignorant as a little beast. She watched Ansu take the accounting book, took out the pencil, opened a new line in the notebook, and wrote:

On July 6, Luojia owed Ansu five blueberry cakes, a glass of milk, a plate of cocoa cake and——

Fifty ‘Fast Family’ cake shops.

Why are you plotting against people like this!

"I, you, you are bullying others." The little saint was so anxious that she was about to cry. "I, I, can't afford to pay you back. I can't afford to pay you back in this life."

"Lojia Fast."

Ansu's calm voice interrupted her.

"You should be more confident in yourself. Cersei is the saint of the imperial capital, but you are the real saint. Until now, you are still very timid, obedient and polite, so you can't win against her."

"You should be a little prouder."

He is born only for his own interests, so he will only do things that are beneficial to himself. In Ansu's calculation, this will be beneficial to himself, he is just such a person.

Ansu stared into Luo Jia's eyes and said seriously,

"I said yesterday that your discernment is better than that of the Dharma God Merlin, and you bought my gambling ticket; but in fact, my discernment is also better than that old guy - because that old guy has cataracts!"

"Your future is definitely not just fifty cake shops. This is the only thing I can promise."

From beginning to end, Ansu told the truth. Because only he knows in this world, the future development of the original world line, and only he knows, 'the future stars that shine on Naraku'.

"This is the only thing I know better than anyone else in the world."

The stagnant autumn light began to shine brightly again, and spots of light shone along the Maria River. The orange autumn wind blew the dark green sycamore leaves everywhere. The colors of this world were cut into countless dazzling blocks of color by the flying leaves.

In this colorful world, the little boy said to the little saint, "So I won't lose the bet."

"I will never lose the stock I am interested in."

Ansu looked into Luojia's eyes, and handed the expensive gambling ticket with the "Holy Glory Cathedral" painted on it to the store manager.

"You have already cast your bet to me, now it's my turn to cast my bet to you-"

"At least in the future, you can eat as much cake as you want in the imperial capital, and you don't have to pay anymore."

Ansu smiled, and the corners of his mouth outlined a slightly crazy, gambler-like smile, "So you want to owe me this debt, or do you plan to settle with me from now on-Miss Luojia Fast, tell me!"

After he finished speaking, he stopped talking and waited for Luojia's answer.

The autumn wind passed through the tree-lined path, and the wind hit countless sunlight into the French window between them. The whole world was no longer sounded, leaving only a long, long silence.

From the time she entered the imperial capital until now, no matter the nuns in the monastery or the bishops in the church, no one has a good impression of Lorgar, a country girl from the border. They just regard her as a substitute for Her Majesty the Princess, a beautiful and well-behaved vase.

As long as she looks good, that's enough.

Just like Ansu, no one in this world has a good impression of Lorgar.

Including the god of magic Merlin, the same is true.

Everyone.

If she had a bet with Cersei, no one would bet on her to win. It should be like this.

Lorgar lowered her eyes and stopped talking. Her snow-white eyelashes trembled slightly. After a while, she whispered,

"Too cunning."

The voice was as low as the hum of an insect.

In this silent world, she seemed to be able to hear her own heartbeat.

"Mr. Ansu, you are cheating"

"Too cunning."
