Besides, no one is perfect, let alone a plan.

Su Mengli is a smart person. She doesn't believe them and there's nothing she can do about it, but she will definitely understand them. At most, she'll secretly chat with them privately afterward.

Right now, all that matters is that Bai Shishi and Su Mengyao accept it.

As for the future, once they get to know Yan Nuoya's personality, they will naturally understand why things are the way they are.

Well, while Yan Nuoya undoubtedly bears the primary responsibility for how things have turned out this way, he also bears a small part of the responsibility.

PS: I'll try to finish the next chapter.

66 UNO

Although she didn't know what the two of them were up to, Su Mengli nodded silently, indicating that she wouldn't expose them.

With Su Mengli's tacit approval, he felt much more at ease.

To put it bluntly, this is somewhat like taking advantage of Su Mengli, and it's a miracle that Su Mengli isn't angry.

Mo Xiangwen sighed inwardly, knowing he would have to apologize to the person separately later.

Su Mengyao and Bai Shishi's reactions were much more straightforward.

As for Bai Shishi, it has only been two or three hours since she first met Yan Nuoya, so she doesn't have any particular feelings yet.

She was even able to stand next to Yan Nuoya now, chatting and laughing with her.

As for Su Mengyao... He glanced at her, who was almost as happy as when she saw Bai Shishi, and wasn't sure what she was really thinking at that moment.

After Yan Nuoya, Su Mengli, and Su Mengyao got to know each other again, the five of them moved to a larger table.

At this point, all five people in the group had finally arrived.

However, even within this small group of five, the factions are clearly distinct.

Bai Bai, the group's darling, sat between him and Su Mengyao, to his left.

And Su Mengyao, of course, sat with her sister Su Mengli.

Therefore, Yan Nuoya could only sit on his right.

Even so, he figured that given Yan Nuoya's personality, she would usually prioritize sitting next to him.

That's just how he is; he'd rather sit next to someone he knows better than someone he's relatively unfamiliar with.

Unless he had no other choice.

However, I forced myself to change this habit after I started working.

There are rules about where to sit; he can't just sit wherever he wants... It's much more relaxed when he's with friends.

Although they have been group members for many years, apart from Su Mengyao and Su Mengli, none of them are particularly good at chatting, and they are not very familiar with each other.

After chatting for a while, they struggled to find a suitable topic, and as the conversation became somewhat awkward, Su Mengli suggested that they play UNO while chatting.

UNO is a multiplayer board game, also known as the Friendship Crusher.

UNO cards are divided into number cards, function cards, and wild cards.

The number cards consist of four colors: red, yellow, blue, and green. The function cards include "prohibited," "reverse," and "+2" cards.

The wild cards are black, and there are "color-changing" and "+4" cards.

The winning condition is to play all the cards in your hand. When you have only one card left, you must shout "UNO", otherwise you will be penalized by drawing two cards.

Here comes the point.

This game has two sets of rules that are accepted by the players.

One type is the official one, which does not allow stacking. Although everyone approves of it, it is actually rarely used in practice.

All I can say is that acknowledging you is giving the official team face, but whether or not you play is up to the players.

The other type is a gameplay that allows for stacking.

+2 and +4 can be used together, but +2 can only be added to +2.

If the player before you plays +2, you can play either +2 or +4. If the player before you plays +4, you can only accumulate +4 until the player who didn't play receives all the penalty draws.

This is precisely why UNO is known as the "friendship destroyer".

Whether it's because of the huge penalties that have already accumulated, or because your next teammate has already called UNO.

If you have a +4, it's hard to resist the urge to trick the player to your left.

In this way, you can watch her break down, starting with the fewest cards in the game, and eventually drawing more cards than all the other players combined.

Finally, you can let out a pig-like laugh to express your joy.

The price of laughing once might be a bit heavy; you lose a friend every time.

But this doesn't stop college students from enjoying it. Every night, you can see a lot of students playing this board game in Yipin Tea or other milk tea shops.

Its popularity was once comparable to that of Werewolf.

However, his friendship with Bai Shishi seems to be too strong, and even UNO couldn't shake it in the slightest.

After Su Mengli slowly placed down a +2 card, Su Mengyao immediately threw down a +4 card.

Then, Su Mengyao looked at Bai Shishi expectantly, hoping that she would be just as domineering as herself and throw down a +4 to ruin the next player's game.

Because at this point, Mo Xiangwen only had one card left in his hand.

To Su Mengyao's surprise, Bai Shishi glanced at the +2 and +4 cards in the deck, then at the cards in her own hand, and silently drew six more cards from the deck.

But she has so many cards in her hand now that she can barely hold them all.

Su Mengyao was silent for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "Shishi, are you sure you don't have a +4?"

Bai Shishi glanced at the cards in her hand, then guiltily avoided Su Mengyao's gaze and simply piled the cards into a stack.

"No, no."

"I don't believe you for a second," Su Mengyao clicked her tongue.

Faced with Bai Shishi's obvious reaction, the others immediately understood.

Mo Xiangwen, both amused and exasperated, repeatedly told her to relax and have fun before she finally relaxed.

However, whenever she accumulates too many penalty cards, she absolutely refuses to play them.

But with so many +2 and +4 cards already played, Bai Shishi's hand isn't as strong as before, so it's reasonable to say she has none.

Perhaps because it was the first gathering, everyone was in high spirits.

Just playing UNO kept everyone entertained for an entire afternoon without getting bored.

It wasn't until lunchtime was approaching and everyone felt hungry that they realized it was already this late.

Mo Xiangwen glanced at Bai Shishi and quietly asked, "Did the teacher tell you that you were going home to eat?"

Bai Shishi paused for a moment, then shook her head slightly.

"Why don't you ask now? If they don't want you to eat at home, we can take you to the school's commercial street to see if there's anything you want to eat."

Bai Shishi obediently took out her phone and started using it.

Almost as soon as she sent the message, Fu Qianping immediately replied.

"My mom said I can eat at school, but I have to be careful about what I can't eat."

Mo Xiangwen asked hesitantly, "Like avoiding spicy and stimulating foods?"

Bai Shishi nodded without hesitation.

Goodness, the most common contraindications during medication are probably more than just these, given Bai Shishi's physical condition.

"We can go to the school cafeteria, and we can also show Shishi around the school," Yan Nuoya suggested.

That's true. Although 99% of the food in the commercial street is grilled, fried, or spicy, there are still many healthy dishes to choose from in the cafeteria.

Su Mengli asked, "Are you going to the cafeteria? Then Mengyao and I will go with you."

"Ah, it seems like it's been quite a while since we've been to the cafeteria," Su Mengyao said, resting her chin on her hand. "But the food there is alright, isn't it?"

"Would Shishi like to go and take a look?" Mo Xiangwen asked. "For us, it's just having dinner there tonight, so there's no need to be shy."

Bai Shishi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Ok!"

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Independent Games

Unlike junior high and high school, although the food in university cafeterias has improved and there is a peak period from 18 pm to 19 pm, university students' class times are not consistent.

Some college students who don't have afternoon classes will choose to go to the cafeteria a little earlier, while others who don't have evening classes will choose to eat later or simply order takeout.

In any case, they are already college students. The school has a cafeteria and does not prohibit ordering takeout, so they will not go hungry.

The five of them arrived quite early, before get out of class ended, but there were already a few students getting their food in the cafeteria.

However, compared to a large canteen, it seems rather small, inevitably making people feel a bit deserted.

This is a good thing, after all, Bai Shishi is probably still not quite used to being in a group of people.

When there are fewer people around, there are fewer glances directed at you, and the few glances that do come over are usually drawn to the other three.

Bai Shishi, walking beside him, had a bright smile on her face and walked with light steps.

Although she still didn't dare to leave Mo Xiangwen's side, she seemed to be in good condition and even took the initiative to talk to Yan Nuoya.

"Is Sister Nuoya in the same class as Xiao Yi?"

Yan Nuoya was slightly surprised, but she also felt a little guilty towards Bai Shishi. Now that she had the opportunity to improve her relationship with Bai Shishi, she was happy to do so.

"Yes, is there something you want to ask, Shishi?"

"You usually have classes..."

When Bai Shishi and Yan Nuoya were chatting happily, Bai Shishi would occasionally let out some light laughter.

Seeing that the two were chatting so happily, he also started a conversation with Su Mengli and Su Mengyao.

"By the way, Mengli and Mengyao, do you know where the school's entrepreneurship guidance center, or rather, the university's student entrepreneurship incubation base, is?"

Su Mengyao shook her head without hesitation: "I've never paid attention to this at all."

Su Mengli paused for a moment, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. After a brief moment of contemplation, she slowly said, "I remember, it's behind the biggest shopping mall on the commercial street, isn't it?"

Behind the shopping mall? That area is considered the edge of the school. It's a very large and open space, even larger than the small square.

He only passed by that area once when he first arrived at the school, riding his bicycle. Apart from loading and unloading workers and young couples taking a walk, he could hardly see anyone else.

Mo Xiangwen asked curiously, "Why is it behind the commercial street? I thought it would be in some teaching building. That place is too remote."

"The commercial street also belongs to the school, so it's not surprising that the university student entrepreneurship incubation base is located there."

"That's true, but why choose such a remote location?"

"I guess the best spots on the commercial street are reserved for shops." Su Mengli thought for a moment, "Anyway, very few people go to the university student entrepreneurship incubation base... I'm not sure about the others."

Mo Xiangwen hadn't expected her to know everything; it was already a pleasant surprise that she knew the location of the university student entrepreneurship incubation base. He had even originally planned to ask his counselor.

"Well, I understand, thank you."

"No need. But Xiang Wen, are you asking this because you're planning to start a business?"

Su Mengli gave him a strange look and asked, "Are you short of money right now? If it's not much, I can lend you some. Anyway, you're at school and can't run away."

Towards the end of her sentence, she even winked at him.

Rich woman, I don't want to work hard anymore.

If it weren't for his damn pride, he almost shouted it out.

"I wouldn't say I'm short of money, but I really do want to make money." Mo Xiangwen shook his head and said, "But actually, I can do this so-called entrepreneurship myself in my dorm room."

His writing career is now on track, and he can at least support himself without needing his family to send him living expenses. He even has the means to send some money back to his family.

If all I do in my dorm room every day is write or play games with my roommates, it's such a waste.

It's one thing if he hasn't experienced university life, but he's already had four years of fun.

"Then what are you asking about the location and purpose of university student entrepreneurship incubation bases?"
