Chapter 611 Pajama Party and Bored Clorinde
In Clorinde's room, Navia sat on the floor and took out her card box.
"Come on! Let's play the Seven Holy Summons!"
Ying also sat on the ground and said, "Well, playing cards is indeed a good entertainment and pastime."
Just as Ying took out the card box, the originally bright lights in the room suddenly dimmed without warning.
Paimeng hid behind Ying, poked out half of his head, and asked tremblingly: "What is going on? Is there... a power outage?"
Facing such a nervous Paimon, Clorinde remained unusually calm.
After all, she had experienced situations like this many times when she was a child.
"That's about right. I guess the tank behind the house that stores the energy of the wild mango has run out, which is why the power supply is cut off."
"When I was a kid, my master would often forget when to change the lights, and then the power would go out at home..."
Navia pouted unwillingly and asked, "Are we going to bed so early? It's only past seven in the evening!"
Ying immediately thought of a good idea and said, "Wait a minute, I think I have lighting equipment. Wait, let me look for it!"
Ying took out the Lilupal and asked, "How about using this as a lighting tool? It can float in the air."
Navia and Clorinde had no idea what Ying had taken out, but Paimon and Shao Yun could tell. Wasn't this the Mother of the Spirits, Lilupal?
Shao Yun complained: "You treated Lilupal as a light bulb? If she regained consciousness, I wonder what she would think."
When Navia heard that this was the town spirit of Xumi, she exclaimed: "Is this the town spirit of Xumi? How magical..."
As Ying loosened her hand slightly, Lilupal floated onto the roof.
Then, a soft and bright light emanated from Lilupal's body, instantly illuminating the entire room.
"Come on, let's play cards." Ying took out her card box and said, "We must have fun today!"
……
Shao Yun sat aside, watching Ying and Navia playing cards.
After one round, all three of Navia's character cards were given away by Ying.
After seeing that she had lost, Navia looked at Ying in admiration and said, "Wow, Ying, you are so awesome!"
Paimon was happier to see Ying win than if she had agreed to it, and said, "Hehe! Ying is a master at playing cards!"
Ying sorted out her cards, then looked at Shao Yun beside her and said, "Next round... Shao Yun, you come!"
Shao Yun, who was sitting nearby, saw Ying wanted to try it himself, and immediately refused, "Me? I don't know how!"
Without saying anything, he handed the deck he had prepared to Shao Yun and said, "Learn now. I'll teach you, and you can use my cards!"
……
Afterwards, with Ying's encouragement, Shao Yun played cards with Navia using the deck she provided.
As a result, I don’t know if it was because Navia’s card playing skills were too poor, or Shao Yun was in the novice protection period, or the deck Ying gave Shao Yun was too strong, but Shao Yun killed Navia without any character cards dying.
Seeing that she was defeated by the rookie Shao Yun, Navia fell to the side, resting her head on Clorinde's thigh, and acted like a child who couldn't stand losing.
"Ah! Mr. Shao Yun, are you sure this is your first time playing Seven Summonings? How come you are so awesome!"
Then, Navia stood up and hugged Clorinde's neck, saying coquettishly: "Claurinde~ Dear Clorinde~ It's your turn next time! Help me to save face! Okay~~"
Clorinde seemed quite helpless as Navia kept pestering her like this.
She pushed away Navia who was hugging her neck and acting coquettishly, but finally nodded gently and agreed: "Okay, okay, let me try next time. But it's hard to say whether I will win or lose."
As she spoke, Clorinde took out her card box.
Before starting the next round, Shao Yun explained to Navia why he had won just now.
"I don't know how I won. It just happened that I cast six universal elements in the last round. Of course, if it weren't for Ying's guidance, I would definitely not have won."
Seeing Shao Yun pushing the credit to himself, Ying immediately pushed it back and said, "No way, it's mainly your idea, I was just giving you some pointers!"
Shao Yun suddenly had a question and asked, "Actually, I've always had a question, where did these character cards come from?"
Navia explained: "I heard Charlotte interview the producer. It seems that they cooperated with the Adventurer's Association. They got the authorization of the original creator and paid the copyright fee. The monster character cards were used directly. I feel that the monsters should have no objection..."
Clorinde added as she selected the deck she was going to use: "I remember that the original Seven Summonings was a battle between monsters, and then gradually various character cards were added."
After listening to this, Shao Yun suddenly realized and said, "Oh, so that's how it is..."
Navia looked at Shao Yun and said with some anticipation: "I am a little looking forward to Mr. Shao Yun making it into a card."
When Shao Yun heard this, he shook his head helplessly and said, "I feel like I might be able to play as a skill card. Okay, is Clorinde ready?"
……
It was Clorinde and Shao Yun's turn to play cards.
Because Shao Yun was still using the same deck from the previous game, Clorinde analyzed the weaknesses in Shao Yun's deck and played cards specifically to restrain it.
Finally, after seeing Shao Yun's three character cards go offline, Clorinde smiled imperceptibly and said, "You lose!"
Navia, who had been watching the fight on the side, saw Clorinde win, and immediately stretched out her arms and hugged her neck tightly, then kissed Clorinde's pink face without hesitation.
"That's great! Clorinde has helped me to get back on top! I have to give you a big reward, honey!"
Clorinde was obviously caught off guard by such passionate behavior.
She was stunned at first, then pushed Navia away with force, then raised her hand a little shyly and gently wiped the cheek that had just been kissed by Navia with the back of her hand.
"Oh, stop it, Navia!"
Shao Yun looked at the result of the game, shrugged lightly, and muttered quietly: "Oh, well, it seems that my luck has run out! I lost so badly this time."
Clorinde, who was sitting opposite him, said politely, "Don't be discouraged, Shao Yun. Winning and losing are common. In a game, winning or losing is not important. Just have fun."
Shao Yun nodded slightly to show his agreement, then handed the deck tightly held in his hand to Ying, turned to look at Paimeng, and said, "So, is it Paimeng's turn to play next?"
……
The group played cards in Clorinde's room until almost 12 o'clock in the evening.
At this moment, Navia couldn't help but yawned loudly, rubbed her eyes, and said sleepily.
"Oh, time flies by so fast, it's already so late. No, no, I'm really too sleepy, let's go to bed quickly."
Seeing that the girls were going to bed, Shao Yun also stood up and prepared to leave.
"Okay, you guys have a good rest, I'm going to sleep on the sofa."
As he spoke, Shao Yun naturally winked at Ying, indicating that he was not convenient.
Ying nodded in understanding. She had originally wanted to send Shao Yun to sleep on the sofa, so she said, "Well, okay, good night then."
……
After Shao Yun left Clorinde's bedroom, he came to the sofa in the living room.
After sitting on the sofa, Shao Yun lay down directly, closed his eyes, and said, "Not bad, it's more comfortable than sleeping in the corner."
……
In the second half of the night, everything was quiet and the living room in Clorinde's house seemed particularly peaceful.
The cold moonlight gently shines through the window and falls on the floor.
At this time, Navia, Ying and Paimon were lying quietly on the floor of the bedroom, breathing lightly and evenly.
Shao Yun was lying alone on the sofa in the living room, sleeping soundly.
However, in his sleep, he vaguely felt that a pair of eyes were fixed on him.
Shao Yun opened his eyes dazedly, and what came into view was a person.
The figure stood aside, motionless, staring at him with eyes that looked particularly strange in the dim light.
Shao Yun was frightened by this sudden scene and woke up completely.
"'My hair' (translated to WC!) is haunted!"
Hearing Shao Yun's scream, Clorinde still did not speak, but just stood there quietly, continuing to look at Shao Yun lying on the sofa with her unfathomable eyes.
When Shao Yun saw clearly that the person who was not sleeping in the middle of the night and standing in front of him like a ghost was Clorinde, the fear in his heart was slightly relieved, but what followed was a lot of complaints.
"Claulinde? Why are you standing here in the middle of the night, staring at me? "
Clorinde, who was wearing pajamas, put her hands on her hips and said confidently, "I couldn't sleep, so I came out to see if you were asleep. It seems that you are not asleep. Can you chat with me for a while?"
When Shao Yun heard Clorinde's words, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"What kind of 'Huai Min hasn't slept yet' are you playing with me? Go back and sleep well!" Shao Yun said as he waved his hand impatiently, trying to drive Clorinde away.
However, Clorinde seemed not to understand what he meant at all. Not only did she not leave, but she responded with a silly but serious look on her face.
"It's okay, just go to sleep, I'll just stay here and watch over you quietly, I won't disturb you at all..."
Shao Yun glanced at Clorinde helplessly and found that she had no intention of leaving, so he simply turned over on the sofa, turned his back to Clorinde, and closed his eyes tightly.
So, Clorinde really stood there motionless, staring at Shao Yun with her big eyes.
Although Shao Yun closed his eyes, he could clearly feel a pair of burning gazes staring at him from behind. This made him feel uneasy and he couldn't sleep at all.
So, Shao Yun simply sat up from the bed and glared at Clorinde with resentment on his face.
"Oh my, how can I sleep if you keep staring at me like this!"
Seeing that Shao Yun had stood up, Clorinde naturally sat down next to him, forced a smile on her face, and asked softly, "Really?"
At this moment, against the backdrop of the night, Clorinde's slightly raised mouth corners revealed a smile, and somehow, she felt a chill running down her spine.
Shao Yun couldn't help but shiver.
"Claulinde, why does your smile look so eerie... Have you been possessed by the yellow-skinned creature from Liyue?"
(Liyue Treasure Stealer Weasel: What the hell?)
However, in the face of Shao Yun's comments, Clorinde did not make any response. She just sat there quietly, her eyes still staring straight at Shao Yun, and the faint smile at the corner of her mouth never faded.
For a moment, the atmosphere became awkward and weird.
Shao Yun just felt uncomfortable being stared at by Clorinde, and his heart was filled with fear.
Helplessly, he could only nod his head and agree: "Okay, okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, isn't that enough! Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about in the middle of the night? Anyway, after all you've done, I can't sleep."
Hearing Shao Yunsong's words, Clorinde restrained her smile a little and asked straight to the point.
"When we were having a barbecue on the beach today, didn't I ask you a question? Why do you think Navia looks better in a swimsuit than me?"
When Shao Yun heard Clorinde mention that matter again, he couldn't help but feel helpless. What was going on?
"Why are you still fussing about this? I was just trying to please you. After all, I was grilling and you were in the way. Besides, don't you think the question you asked was boring?"
"It's not just me. No matter who you ask, no one can choose who should look better between you and Navia!"
When Clorinde heard the word "perfunctory", she narrowed her eyes slightly and muttered softly.
"So you were just trying to fool me... Actually, Navia and I look equally attractive in swimsuits, right?"
Seeing this, Shao Yun quickly added: "Friendly reminder, neither of you is as attractive as Ying."
Clorinde didn't care about this, but said to herself: "Oh, so that's how it is..."
Then she stretched her body, slowly stood up from the sofa, and yawned.
Then, she said with a tired look on her face: "Ah~ I'm so sleepy, it's getting late, good night, you should also pack up and go to bed."
Shao Yun saw that Clorinde was so sleepy that she wanted to go back to her room to sleep. He was so angry that he thought, "I can't hold it in any longer!"
I was sleeping soundly, but you woke me up. Now you are sleepy, but you should have rested well then! Are you, Clorinde, really playing the game of "Huai Min is not asleep yet" with me?
"I told you that you didn't sleep well in the middle of the night and had to wake me up, and it turned out to be just because of such a trivial matter?"
Clorinde stopped and turned around slowly, explaining calmly: "That's right, although I never care much about whether my appearance is attractive, but this time I am being compared with Navia!"
"When I think about losing to her, I can't help but feel a little jealous."
What this means is that this is just a harmless little jealousy and comparison between good girlfriends...
After hearing this, Shao Yun was so angry that his liver hurt. Without saying a word, he just lay down with a "thump", then quickly turned over, leaving his back to Clorinde.
"Oh my God... Why are you as childish as a little kid? I'm so bored, please stop bothering me and let me have a good sleep!"
Seeing Shao Yun so angry, Clorinde raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
Then she whispered "good night" and tiptoed into the room, closing the door gently.
The living room suddenly became quiet, with only Shao Yun lying alone on the sofa, acting as Huaimin.
