Chapter 516 Guessing Game, All-Night Landlord Game

On the North Ring Road, a black Mercedes-Benz S680 is speeding towards Nanshan.

Having taken off his suit jacket and wearing only a shirt, Chen Xiu leaned back in his seat, tilting his head to one side, watching with great interest Tian Xinwei, whose face was still flushed from drinking at the wrap party.

The blush on her cheeks made her skin appear even whiter than snow, and her deep dimples showed that she was in a good mood, until her two arched eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

Tian Xinwei's expression changed slightly, and she opened her mouth to let out a "Uh~".

"Ah."

Chen Xiuqing couldn't help but chuckle, which made the Sichuan-Chongqing Tyrannosaurus roll his eyes. After thinking for a moment, he deliberately leaned in and threw himself into her arms, then took the opportunity to punch her.

"Ok?"

"Hehe, serves you right for laughing at me."

Tian Xinwei hugged Chen Xiu, a smug, devilish smile on her upturned face.

Her sneak attack wasn't heavy at all; even though it was sudden, it couldn't have hurt Chen Xiu.

Tian Xinwei was happy to take advantage of these minor skirmishes, but Chen Xiu didn't care.

However, he was more curious about the words he heard after the final scene was filmed this afternoon.

Looking at the big-eyed, adorable girl who kept laughing, Chen Xiu leaned down and whispered in her ear, "What's the deal with Dou Dizhu?"

The warm breath on her ear, combined with what she heard, made Tian Xinwei's already flushed cheeks burn even more with embarrassment. Her inner awkwardness made her retreat to her seat, not daring to look at Chen Xiu.

"Let's play Dou Dizhu!"

"Who will be the landlord, and who will be the peasant?"

Why are you asking so many questions? Are you going to play or not?

Despite her fierce personality, she was so ashamed and indignant when faced with this topic that her mind went blank, and she immediately retorted.

Chen Xiu leaned closer, took her soft little hand, and said, "I'm just wondering, for the past month or so, you two have been bickering and arguing whenever you're together for more than half an hour. Why do you suddenly want to team up and play cards tonight?"

Meng Ziyi flew over from Northeast China last month, ostensibly to visit Tian Xinwei on set, but secretly to visit Chen Xiu on set.

Tian Xinwei, who could have taken on all the duties herself, was forced to take shifts on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays because of her arrival.

Although this would be easier for her to adapt to, the proud and arrogant Tian Xinwei still harbored great dissatisfaction with Meng Ziyi's attempt to take over.

After watching the two of them bicker a few times, Chen Xiu felt that staying in the hotel was too risky, so she bought an apartment in Pengcheng Bay No. 1. During the day, she would bring Xiao Tian to the film set to film, and at night they would go back to work their regular shifts.

Faced with Chen Xiu's doubts, Tian Xinwei pursed her lips, her eyes darting around in their sockets, but she still chose to tell the truth.

"Sister Meng and I are going to join another group tomorrow. The thought of not seeing you for several months makes us decide to go all out!"

"Give me a big one..."

Chen Xiu repeated himself, his gaze sweeping over Tian Xinwei from the neck down, before shaking his head with great regret.

One second ago, Tian Xinwei's face was flushed red, but the moment she saw his eyes, she swung her fists and pounced on him.

The two joked around for a while, until Chen Xiu asked about the arrangements for later. This time, Tian Xinwei turned her head to look out the car window and sulked to herself.

Seeing this, Chen Xiu leaned back in her seat, secretly thinking about the surprise that was about to happen.

……

"Ouch~~, Sister Meng, be a little heavier."

"Xiaotian, you can be a little gentler."

"No, Tian Xinwei, why are you increasing the intensity?"

Wearing a silk nightgown and a steam eye mask, Chen Xiu lay sprawled on the long sofa, using her elbow as a pillow and resting her forehead on it.

Meng Ziyi and Tian Xinwei, both dressed in pajamas, sat on either side of the sofa to help Chen Xiu relax the muscles in her back and legs. Afraid that their hands wouldn't be strong enough, they even used their elbows.

The reason this happened is because Chen Xiu just said: Even without seeing, I can tell you apart just by the massage techniques!

Looking at Tian Xinwei's gritted teeth and the way she elbowed Chen Xiu's calf, it's hard not to suspect that she's taking revenge.

Feeling a tearing pain in her calf, Chen Xiu groaned and said, "Xiao Tian, ​​are you admitting defeat?"

"Ok?"

Tian Xinwei paused for a moment, then stopped using her elbow on Chen Xiu's calf and stopped exerting force.

Meng Ziyi turned her head and glanced at her, her lips moving silently in complaint.

Chen Xiu remained prone and continued, "If you admit defeat, then how we play the game of Dou Dizhu later will be up to me."

"Who admitted defeat? Sister Meng and I are still getting to know each other's techniques. Don't try to act innocent after getting the better deal!"

"That's it."

Meng Ziyi echoed repeatedly, his smooth elbows continuing to press down on Chen Xiu's back.

Chen Xiu scoffed but did not reply.

Tian Xinwei probably guessed that if things continued this way, she and Meng Ziyi were bound to lose. She immediately pinched the skin on Chen Xiu's calf with two fingers, twisting it as she thought.

"Tian Xinwei, what are you doing?!"

"Hey!"

"laugh!"

Meng Ziyi covered her mouth and laughed, Tian Xinwei covered her forehead with her eyes shining, and Chen Xiu withdrew the hand that had hit her on the head and used it as a pillow.

He didn't hit hard, just a light tap, which just helped Xiaotian come up with a way to win.

Suddenly, the big-eyed cutie snorted, got up from her seat, leaned close to Meng Ziyi's ear, and whispered a few words.

Meng Ziyi looked interested and gestured for Tian Xinwei to sit closer to him. Then he deliberately chatted with Chen Xiu to distract him.

"Brother Xiu, 'The Beginning' is airing the day after tomorrow. Director Yang bought a few trending topics for me. Do you think I should secretly buy some Dou+ (TikTok's paid promotion service) for it?"

"No need. Trending topics bring their own traffic and exposure. The traffic from Douyin+ is just a drop in the bucket." Upon hearing Chen Xiu's reply, Meng Ziyi quickly gave him a meaningful look.

Following her example, Tian Xinwei leaned forward and, when Meng Ziyi raised her elbow, proactively placed her own elbow against hers.

With each breath, the two had completed the substitution.

Meng Ziyi continued chatting smugly with Chen Xiu: "So, do you think I can get a few acting nominations based on 'The Beginning'?"

"No problem, awards can be marketed."

As Chen Xiu said this, the corners of her mouth slowly turned up.

Just as Meng Ziyi and Tian Xinwei thought they had fooled Chen Xiu through their cooperation and were about to lead him to guess, Chen Xiu's phone, which was placed to his ear, suddenly rang.

"Dingle bell! Dingle bell!"

Meng Ziyi and Tian Xinwei froze, fearing that Chen Xiu would remove her blindfold and interrupt the game.

As a result, Chen Xiu simply took one hand out from under her forehead and handed it to Tian Xinwei: "Sister Meng, please answer the phone for me and then put the phone in my hand."

Tian Xinwei was slightly taken aback, widened her clear almond-shaped eyes to their maximum, and frantically pinched the muscles on Chen Xiu's back with both hands.

"You lost! I'm not Sister Meng!"

"Brother Xiu, I'm here!"

Meng Ziyi patted Chen Xiu on the shoulder, feigning displeasure.

"Huh? Did you two switch seats?"

Chen Xiu lifted a corner of the steam eye mask, a playful glint in her eyes.

In order not to delay answering the phone, he readily admitted defeat and turned to look at the incoming call information displayed on the screen.

The next second, Chen Xiu sat up from the sofa, raised her hand to her lips to signal Meng Ziyi and Tian Xinwei to be quiet, and then took her phone to the balcony.

Meng Ziyi and Tian Xinwei exchanged a glance, their two different faces displaying the same confusion.

"Do you think he's using answering the phone as an excuse to back out?"

"Would Brother Xiu ever cheat?"

"Um, I don't think I'm very good at it..."

"You don't understand him at all, why don't you just break up with him?"

Meng deliberately instigated the conversation, his eyes full of mockery and veiled implications.

Tian Xinwei frowned slightly. She was about to start the battle, but then she remembered that she had to go to the film crew tomorrow. It would be too much of a waste to waste an entire night, but she still refused to admit defeat.

"How can I not understand him?"

"Heh, can't you tell that Brother Xiu lost on purpose?"

Meng Ziyi placed her hand on Tian Xinwei's shoulder, revealing her alluring figure beneath her pajamas, and her smug, sidelong glances only added to her smugness.

Tian Xinwei hesitated for a moment as she recalled the situation, and immediately realized that something was wrong.

"He did it on purpose."

Xiao Tian raised his hand and pointed at Chen Xiu. Beneath the empty sleeve was a section of fair, snow-white arm with clearly defined muscles.

Meng Ziyi chuckled, stretched out his hand, and slid it down from Tian Xinwei's shoulder.

"Brother Xiu saw you were a little angry and tried to coax you. You couldn't even tell? You're really big but brainless. Hmm, so-so!"

"What are you doing?!"

Tian Xinwei turned her head in shock, staring intently at Meng Ziyi, never expecting that she would be taken advantage of by a female hooligan.

After posing as a surveyor, Meng Ziyi pouted and said, "I just thought your photos and videos online were really impressive, so I wanted to test it out on the spot. I didn't expect it to be a scam..."

"Don't call me a fraudster!!"

Tian Xinwei already had some PTSD from those two words, and her rebuttals became louder.

Meng Ziyi was startled and immediately turned to look at the balcony, afraid of disturbing Chen Xiu. Just then, Chen Xiu, her clothes fluttering in the wind, walked back.

"Brother Xiu, did we disturb you?"

"It's nothing, just a call from a business partner. He told me he's going to Shanghai the day after tomorrow to attend an artificial intelligence conference and asked about my travel plans."

Chen Xiu gave a brief explanation, then sat back down on the sofa, her gaze shifting back and forth between Meng Ziyi and Tian Xinwei.

"How about we each sleep separately tonight?"

"No, you have to stay up all night tonight, you're not getting any sleep!"

Tian Xinwei retorted righteously and sternly, and immediately played a brand new, unopened deck of cards.

Meng Ziyi followed closely behind: "Didn't you say you were powerful? Tonight, we two peasants will fight you, you landlord!"

Chen Xiu stared at the deck of cards, looking at the packaging for a long time, and finally raised both hands, giving Meng Ziyi and Tian Xinwei a thumbs up each.

"Are you sure you want to go this far?"

Tian Xinwei pointed at Chen Xiu and leaned back strategically!
"Fight to the bitter end!"

Meng Ziyi also took out a brand new, unopened deck of cards and placed it on top of Tian Xinwei's cards, displaying great momentum.

"Super Double!!"

Looking at the two who had formed an alliance, Chen Xiu chuckled: "If you're so capable, then reveal your hand now."

"Come on, come on!"

"Who's afraid of you?!"

Several rustling sounds rang out, and the landlord played his card first...
