After the last banquet there were some rumors about Chu Chen, but no matter how outrageous they are, didn't seem to violate harmony when they were put on Chu Chen.

 

  Chu Chen's previous rumors were even more exaggerated than these.

 

  Li Ran asked: "Aren't you angry?"

 

  Li Ran's question was a bit unexpected, but Chu Chen understood it all at once.

 

  "There's nothing to be angry about."

 

  Chu Chen shrugged and said, "I live a lifetime, and if  I still care about other people's eyes, maybe I would be too tired to die a long time ago. I don't care about it myself, as long as the people I care about know what kind of person I am. Those rumors don't affect me much. You see, even though I'm burdened with so many strange rumors, didn't I still get married to a handsome man like you? "

 

  Li Ran looked at Chu Chen.

 

  Chu Chen said again: "The mouths grow on other people. I can seal the mouth of one person, but I can't seal the mouths of thousands of people. Some people, on the other hand, like to play tricks behind their backs, push the wave and add to the billows, but sooner or later they will eat their own bitter fruits. I keep everything in my heart. "

[推波助澜 tuī bō zhù lán: to push the wave and add to the billows (idiom); to add momentum; to encourage sth to get bigger; to add fuel to the fire]

[自食恶果 zì shí è guǒ: lit. to eat one's own bitter fruit (idiom); fig. to suffer the consequences of one's own actions; to stew in one's own juice]

 

  Li Ran nodded.

 

  It turned out that Chu Chen knew everything.

 

  Li Ran didn't say any more.

 

  Chu Chen had his own way of dealing with the world, and he wouldn't change his mind easily.

 

  He looked up at Li Ran, his eyes stayed on Li Ran's chin and Adam's apple for a moment, turned over, got up from Li Ran's arms, put his hands on the armrest beside him, lowered his body, and kissed Li Ran's Adam's apple.

 

  Li Ran raised his head subconsciously, as if sending his neck out.

 

  First he felt itchy on his neck.

 

  Then even his throat was itchy.

 

  Later, because Chu Chen's soft hair was always rubbing against his chin, Li Ran even started to feel itchy on his chin.

 

  He pressed Chu Chen's head and said: "Don't make trouble."

 

  Chu Chen took advantage of the situation and took Li Ran's hand: "Then I'll take a shower, pack up later and go directly to the entertainment city?"

 

  Li Ran hoarsely said: "...OK."

 

  Chu Chen went to take a shower, and went out with Li Ran in high spirits.

 

  Human beings couldn't help but want to test their luck.

 

  The same was true for Chu Chen.

 

  Entering the entertainment city, Chu Chen exchanged 500,000 chips first.

 

  All kinds of gambling machines in the interstellar world ranged from simple to complex.

 

  Chu Chen started with the simple ones. The rules of those machines could be understood at a glance. Since they could understand it, of course they wanted to try it. If they tried it, they would lose.

 

  It was obviously a matter of probability, Chu Chen didn't believe that his luck was so bad, so he took Li Ran to go to all directions, he wanted to play with any machine in this place, and soon only a pitiful few hundred chips were left.

 

  Chu Chen counted the chips in his hand depressedly: "...don't gamble anymore."

 

  Still couldn't make his cousin fall into the pit he had dug, but he fell first.

 

  Li Ran laughed lowly and said: "I'll come."

 

  It was strange to say that both of them used the same machines, and the rules and regulations were purely a matter of probability. However when it was Chu Chen's turns, it was like hitting a wall, but once these machines were in the hands of Li Ran, they seemed to be passive, and spat out money crazily.

[碰壁 pèng bì: to hit a wall; fig. to run up against a snag]

 

  It didn't take long for Chu Chen's lost chips to come back.

 

  Chu Chen was surprised: "Why!"

 

  Li Ran said lightly: "I'm lucky."

 

  Chu Chen: "???"

 

  Chu Chen circled the machine twice, looked at Li Ran's hand, and finally couldn't find out how Li Ran cheated. So he could only accept the 'good luck' as the reason, just at this moment he saw two familiar figures from the corner of his eye, so he hurriedly said: "Don't play this for now, we will go over there and have a look."

 

  Li Ran: "Yes."

 

  Li Ran followed behind Chu Chen, and looked up at the staff who was standing upstairs looking at him.

 

  The staff member noticed Li Ran's gaze, and immediately saluted Li Ran.

 

        Li Ran nodded slightly as a greeting.

 

  Chu Chen didn't look back, and naturally he didn't notice this scene.

 

  He stood in front of a huge machine, there were five people gathered not far away.

 

  One of them was not very old, a boy who had just grown up, he was Chu Chen's cousin, named Chu You.

 

  He was the son of Chu Chen's second aunt.

 

  The other was the eldest aunt's son, named Chu Yu. Once, the eldest aunt wanted Chu Yu to marry Huo Ling instead of Chu Chen, and approached Chu Weiyun several times, but the Huo family bluntly refused and slapped her in the face.

 

  When Chu Chen saw Chu Yu, he couldn't help chuckling.

 

  He turned his head and said to Li Ran who was following him, "I said why I have such bad luck tonight. It turned out that the good luck came from other places. Look, buy one get one free."

 

  Because of the bad relationship with the eldest aunt, when Chu Chen made the plan, he was afraid that the eldest aunt would be suspicious, so he didn't intend to attack Chu Yu at all. In the end he chose Chu You, who hadn't met him very much and only occasionally greeted him once or twice. He was kind on the surface, but always spoke ill of him behind his back.

 

  But he didn't expect that Chu You and Chu Yu had a good relationship, and even when he came to this kind of place, he would  drag Chu Yu with him.

 

  Chu Chen was happy, and the bracelet rang suddenly.

 

  He looked down and found that it was Shen Yu who was calling.

 

  As soon as it was connected, Shen Yu's face was flushed, and he said happily: "Xiaochen! Is Ranran by your side? I called him before but no one answered."

 

  "Yes." Chu Chen said, "I take him out to play."

 

  Shen Yu didn't ask where the two were playing, but screamed: "Ahhh, I have good news for you. The latest news has been sent from the scientific research institute. Someone has produced a medicine to relieve mental riot!!!"
