Outside the Hu Ma Tea House on Huayuan North Road, Bai Mo got out of the taxi, looked up at the tea house's sign, and couldn't help feeling that the lower city area was also slowly being eroded.
I wonder how much of the atmosphere of the old city will remain in Xiacheng District of Meihai City in a few years.
The exterior decoration of the teahouse was ordinary, but once inside, it was something special. Whether it was the dark blue floor or the decorations everywhere, Bai Mo felt relaxed and happy looking at it.
The welcoming lady was wearing a red cheongsam, her slender legs looming. She showed a standard smile and bowed slightly to Bai Mo, "Hello, sir."
"I'm looking for someone, room 504." Bai Mo smiled politely.
The receptionist's cheeks turned slightly red due to Bai Mo's smile. She pressed the elevator button for Bai Mo and made a gesture of invitation.
Bai Mo went straight to the fifth floor and was stunned when he opened the door of room 504.
Only then did Bai Mo realize a question, why didn't he ask who Chen Xiaoxiao was with?
Come to think of it, how could a young girl like Chen Xiaoxiao hang out with those single guys like Zeng Hao?
There were three women sitting at the mahjong table in the room. The seat near the door was empty. Chen Xiaoxiao was sitting in the back. On both sides of her were two women whom Bai Mo didn't know at all.
"Bai Mo!" Chen Xiaoxiao waved wildly at Bai Mo with a smile, and the other two women also looked at Bai Mo at the same time.
Bai Mo forced a smile, and he seemed to turn around and leave, but in that case Chen Xiaoxiao would definitely ask him to train her fighting skills when she arrives at the police station tomorrow.
Bai Mo walked in bravely, then closed the door and sat in the only empty seat next to the mahjong table.
"Bai Mo, this is Wang Ya, my high school classmate, who now works in the court." Chen Xiaoxiao introduced.
Wang Ya has short, ear-length hair, a round face, big eyes, and is wearing a pair of jeans and a white T-shirt.
"Hello!" Bai Mo had returned to his normal state and nodded to Wang Ya with a bright smile.
Wang Ya nodded repeatedly and clicked her tongue: "I have always heard Xiaoxiao say that she has a super handsome colleague, and I finally met her today. She is indeed a handsome boy!"
Bai Mo was embarrassed. There were indeed many blond female classmates abroad who praised Bai Mo's appearance to his face. This was the first time in China that a woman had praised him to his face.
If he were abroad, Bai Mo would say thank you in return. It is polite to say thank you when facing other people's praise.
But at home, Bai Mo didn't know whether he should say thank you.
Chen Xiaoxiao saw Bai Mo's embarrassment, and pointed to another girl, "Her name is Yang Lu, Wang Ya's cousin, the same age as you, studying at Meihai University, majoring in fine arts."
Yang Lu wore a light blue knitted dress, with long shawl hair and delicate facial features. From Bai Mo's angle, he could see her long legs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings under the dress.
It has to be said that both looks and figure meet Bai Mo's standards for perfect material.
"Hello!" Bai Mo greeted Yang Lu, praying in his heart that Yang Lu wouldn't say anything like tiger or wolf like Wang Ya did.
Yang Lu smiled, with a hint of shyness in his smile, "Xiaoxiao has always said that there is a particularly good painter in her team, and she almost praises you to the sky."
Yang Lu studied art and was concerned that Bai Mo's painting ability was normal.
Bai Mo also likes to communicate with colleagues. He smiled and said: "It's not bad! We can exchange works if we have time."
"How can I have any works!" Yang Lu's smile became much more natural, "You are a graduate of a world-renowned art academy, and you are a 20-year-old graduate. Forget about exchanges, I hope Teacher Bai can provide more guidance."
"Okay!" Bai Mo nodded.
Bai Mo felt very comfortable talking to Yang Lu. She had the temperament of a lady, shy but not pretentious, and her voice was nice.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Wang Ya made an inappropriate voice. She looked at Chen Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, I regret that I applied for the University of Political Science and Law. I should have studied painting."
The two girls were instantly amused by Wang Ya, only Bai Mo scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and play mahjong!" Chen Xiaoxiao urged, "Xiaolu, Bai Mo doesn't know how to play mahjong, you teach him first."
A blush appeared on Yang Lu's face. She nodded, pulled up a chair and sat next to Bai Mo, and began to explain the mahjong card types and rules to Bai Mo.
After receiving ten minutes of emergency training, Bai Mo was forced to start.
In Chen Xiaoxiao's words, actual combat is the fastest way to learn. Wang Ya also added, how can you learn mahjong without losing money to pay tuition.
Fortunately, the three girls' gambling capital was so small that they didn't have any money to double. They only had to pay one dollar if they lost.
Obviously, playing cards was just an excuse, and the purpose of the three of them was to sit together and chat.
Bai Mo, who was familiar with the rules of mahjong, felt a little strange. Mahjong could be played by three people, so why did these three best friends insist on calling him?
Among them, Wang Ya spoke the most, talking mostly about what she had seen and heard in the court. Chen Xiaoxiao followed closely, commenting on the civil disputes Wang Ya encountered from time to time.
Yang Lu only responded occasionally, but every time after playing, Yang Lu would look at Bai Mo's cards and guide him on how to play them.
Listening to the chat of several people, Bai Mo realized that Chen Xiaoxiao had just learned mahjong. People who had just learned mahjong were very addicted, so they often played cards with Yang Lu and Wang Ya.
Bai Mo gradually got started under Yang Lu's careful guidance, and he could win a dollar from time to time. He also gradually integrated into the atmosphere of playing mahjong.
The four of them played until eleven o'clock. After Wang Ya's strong refusal, Chen Xiaoxiao finally left the mahjong table.
"Xiao Lu, you and Bai Mo help us pack our things. Aya and I will go down to pay the bill first." After that, Chen Xiaoxiao pulled Wang Ya and quickly left the room.
Bai Mo glanced at the situation in the room. The three girls didn't have many things. It seemed that there was no need to leave anyone here to clean them up.
Yang Lu stood up, her graceful figure perfectly displayed by the slim knitted skirt. She came to the clothes rack, took off a white coat and put it on.
"Do you like playing mahjong?" Bai Mo asked suddenly. He didn't know why he asked such a question, maybe just to make the atmosphere in the room less awkward.
Yang Lu stiffened, turned around quickly, and kept waving his hands, "No, no, the people in our dormitory like to have fun, so I can't be unsocial, right?"
Bai Mo smiled and nodded, helped Yang Lu get two satchels, and then went downstairs with her.
The rain on the street turned back to light rain again. Wang Ya came by car. She offered to take Bai Mo back. Bai Mo refused immediately. He said a hasty goodbye and ran towards the roadside, stopping a taxi. Walk away.
Watching Bai Mo's taxi leave, Chen Xiaoxiao touched Yang Lu with his arm, "How is it? Are you satisfied with the boyfriend I introduced to you?"
Wang Ya also looked at Yang Lu, looking very expectant.
Yang Lu blushed and turned her head to look at the ground, "What are you talking about? I didn't agree!" Her voice was pitifully small. Fortunately, Chen Xiaoxiao and Wang Ya were paying attention to her so they could hear what she said clearly. .
"Yo?" Wang Ya teased in a weird way, "Then you mean, as long as Bai Mo agrees, you will agree?"
"I understand!" Chen Xiaoxiao took out her mobile phone, "Our little egret has fallen in love with Bai Mo!"
This time, Yang Lu's face turned even redder, and his eyes looked resentfully to one side, which was the direction Bai Mo left.
