Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 550

[Chapter 547 Whether you get drunk or not depends on who is around you]

David was sitting near the two cold-faced people. Although the two of them had tried to lower their voices as much as possible and there were all kinds of noises around them, the conversation between the brother and sister still reached David’s ears.

“Coincidence? It is indeed a coincidence that I ran here, but it is probably not a coincidence that you met Cheng Xiaodong.”

David did not follow the bets in these few rounds, but let Sophia and Cheng Le’er take turns to play for a while.

The two girls lost more than they won, and the chips David had just won immediately became much less.

David noticed that after the chips in front of him became less, the dealer became much more polite to him, and even a waiter took the initiative to bring him a drink.

“Alas, this is meaningless, let’s go to another place to play.”

Leaving a large chip to the dealer as a tip, David got up and took Cheng Le’er and Sophia to another table.

Sometimes he wins, sometimes he loses.

Because David didn’t cheat, and the others played as they pleased, they lost more than they won. After a round, David had already returned all the chips he had won to the casino, and even his principal had become much less.

“Alas, why do you always lose?”

Cheng Le’er had a bad luck today, and she almost never won no matter what she played.

If it were normal, she wouldn’t think too much, just spend money to buy happiness. But she was very upset to lose like this in front of Sofia, as if she was a star of bad luck.

After a round, David met the “king” who had helped him win a lot of money before at the blackjack table again.

“Seeing you, I have a feeling that I can win money.”

The other party smiled and nodded, as if he had greeted David, but he didn’t have the idea of introducing himself. It seems that he just wants to be a handsome man who keeps winning money quietly, and he is not interested in making friends with anyone.

David didn’t care. After playing a few blackjacks and winning back the part of the principal he lost before, he was ready to leave.

It was not too late, so they could go to the theater to watch the show, have a drink, and then go back to the room to rest.

It was okay if they didn’t go, because the theater’s performance program had been scheduled. Many of the programs overlapped over the next few days, so they could choose the time they were interested in according to the program schedule.

When Cheng Le’er found out that Sophia wanted to watch the show, she realized that this was a godsend, and suddenly said that she might have drunk too much and felt a little dizzy, so she wanted David to take her back to the room to rest before going to the theater to watch the show with Sophia.

“Is that so, David, take care of Le’er and go back to rest! I’ll go find Xiaoxi and the others.” While Cheng Le’er wasn’t paying attention, she winked at David: Seize the opportunity!

However, when David and Cheng Le’er disappeared, Sophia was about to go find Cheng Xiaoxi, but suddenly her eyes turned and she turned around and walked towards the room.

She walked briskly, humming a little tune, and took a glass of champagne, and was stopped by Cheng Xiaoxi who suddenly jumped out.

“Sophia, where are you going? Eh? Where are David and Le’er?”

Cheng Xiaoxi’s smile was a little stiff, and her acting was quite unnatural. Her movements of looking around were too exaggerated and seemed very artificial.

“Le’er seems to have drunk too much, David sent her back to rest.” Sophia took a sip of champagne and found that she had found another fun thing: “I originally wanted to go to the theater to watch a show, but after thinking about it carefully, it’s not fun to watch a show alone, so I might as well go back and rest.” As for

the show, you can watch it in two days, but it’s not as lively and fun as watching Cheng Le’er and Cheng Xiaoxi.

“How about this! I’ll accompany you to the show.” Cheng Xiaoxi had been watching from a distance, and when she saw David helping Cheng Le’er leave alone, she knew that her bestie was ready to take action. Do you

feel uncomfortable after drinking too much? This kind of words can only deceive people who are not familiar with you.

“Will you accompany me?” Sophia originally considered whether to use the steps to watch the show with Cheng Xiaoxi. After the show, she should be able to go back and tease Cheng Le’er, who is likely to become dehydrated and paralyzed.

But she thought of a more interesting option: “How about we go to the movies together?”

“Okay!”

There are theaters and cinemas on the cruise ship. Compared with live performances and casinos where you can feel the money coming and going, the cinema is much quieter.

But Cheng Xiaoxi doesn’t care. As long as she can hold Sofia back from going back to the room, the mission is accomplished.

As she walked, Cheng Xiaoxi soon found something wrong. This road didn’t seem to go to the cinema, right? Why did it feel like the way back to the suite?

“Is this going to the cinema?”

“It’s just to watch a movie. You don’t have to go to the cinema. You can still watch it in the room!”

Sofia’s feet immediately quickened a few steps, making Cheng Xiaoxi’s attempt to hold her back useless.

“Not good!” Cheng Xiaoxi saw Sofia quickly dodge herself, thinking she guessed something, quickened her pace and chased after her, wanting to make a final effort.

Even if she successfully caught Sofia, she couldn’t slow down Sofia’s pace: “Why are you so strong?”

Back to the door of the suite, there seemed to be a sound coming out vaguely?

When Sofia opened the door, the sound became clearer.

Cheng Xiaoxi suddenly felt very embarrassed: “Maybe David is watching a movie in the room?”

She thought Sophia would be furious and kick the door open to scold the adulterer, but the actual reaction was completely different from what Cheng Xiaoxi thought.

Sophia first closed the door gently, then walked to the bedroom door with her hands and feet twirling, listened for a while in a very indecent posture, and then turned around and greeted Cheng Xiaoxi: “How long do you think they will be busy?”

Cheng Xiaoxi was speechless. How could she know such a thing? Sophia, you should know better, right?

“Aren’t you a doctor?”

“…”

Cheng Xiaoxi wanted to complain. Doctors don’t necessarily have to know these things. And Sophia’s reaction was too weird. Why was she so calm? Isn’t that your boyfriend?

She suddenly felt that she had guessed the truth. Maybe they were all misled by their initial impression. Seeing a man and a woman sharing an apartment, they thought the two were a couple.

Maybe they are not that kind of relationship, just good friends? Or relatives? So Sophia has always been watching the various women around David.

“So that’s it! You and David are not a couple at all!”

“We are a couple, my parents agree.”

“…”

Cheng Xiaoxi felt that her three views had cracked, her mind was in a mess, and the sounds coming from time to time made her feel like sitting on pins and needles.

At the same time, David and Cheng Le’er were busy with data transmission. Considering the huge gap between the hardware equipment on both sides, David could only reduce the power and slow down the transmission speed. Due to poor adaptability, it took a lot of time just to install the new driver.

The transmission speed was very slow at the beginning, and even then the fan was still making noises.

Seeing this, David estimated that transmitting 1.3 billion copies of data was the limit…

Seeing Cheng Le’er so tired that she couldn’t even open her eyes, David realized that he was a little too excited and accidentally used too much force. While gently stroking Le’er’s back, he released holy light to help her recover.

Under David’s comfort, Cheng Le’er smiled sweetly and fell asleep, snoring slightly.

Looking at the sleeping Cheng Le’er, David gently got up and went to the ground. After performing a cleaning spell, he put on his pajamas and walked out of the bedroom.

In the living room, Sophia and Cheng Xiaoxi were watching TV, or more precisely, watching a movie videotape.

“Are you done? It took longer than I thought. Is Le’er okay?”

“She’s already asleep.”

The sentiment of the old Hong Kong movie was fully reflected. He had never made such a mistake in the past. He took a bottle of frozen Coke and David replenished himself with some calories.

“You and Xiaoxi take your time, I’m going out to do something.”

“Ah? Aren’t you staying with Le’er?” Sophia was eating a bag of potato chips non-stop, and she showed a surprised expression when she heard it.

David has always been very gentle, and he will always stay with her gently until dawn, and will never let the other person wake up alone in an empty bed, even if he doesn’t need to sleep at all.

What happened this time?

“There are some rats on the boat, and I don’t want them to disturb Le’er.”

“Oh~” Sophia understood, it was the wrong place!

In the past, David always confirmed relationships with people in his own Winter City. Winter City is peaceful and stable, so naturally there will be no accidents.

However, Cheng Le’er chose the Fuguiwan Charity Cruise. In such a place, any accident is possible.

It seems that David has locked on to some people and is ready to get rid of these guys in advance to prevent them from ruining his and Cheng Le’er’s happy time.

“Then you go and get busy!”

“Take good care of Xiaoxi, don’t let her act alone tonight.”

“No problem, I’ll take good care of this Banana.”

“…”

Cheng Xiaoxi was about to say something, but suddenly saw David wave his right hand, and his pajamas turned into a set of casual clothes that were easy to move around in. This magical scene blocked what she was about to say. It

was not until David left that Cheng Xiaoxi pointed in the direction of the door in surprise: “Just now…Did David suddenly change his clothes? Am I seeing things?”

“No! It’s just a little trick, very simple!” Sophia pinched a spell, and then her bathrobe turned into a gorgeous dress. With a turn of her hand, the light on her body turned back into a bathrobe.

“Is this magic?”

“It can only be considered a trick.”

Sophia began to explain to Cheng Xiaoxi what magic and tricks are.

David greeted everyone one by one according to the marks he had made before, and soon came to the leader of the group, Major McDonald.

“Good evening, Major.”

“Who are you?” McDonald was sorting out his action plan, waiting for the cruise ship to sail away before taking action. He didn’t expect someone to suddenly come to his door and reveal his identity.

“A man who doesn’t want his wonderful travel schedule to be disturbed.”
