So, Grandpa Tong and Yunqing started discussing from Liang Qichao to Xu Zhimo, then from Hu Shi to Wen Yiduo, and even mentioned the former Tsinghua University president Mei Yiqi, along with that story of 1650 bowls of plain noodles.
They chatted while playing cards.
Soon, Grandpa Tong won, and it was Yunqing who made the decisive move.
Grandpa was delighted, laughing heartily, after all, he was the dealer, and it was a lucky start!
Tong Xi chuckled and said to Yunqing, "Too busy chatting with Grandpa, weren't you? Look, you made a decisive move! Geez, feeding the cards right into Grandpa's hands! Looks like you're not quite the multitasker, huh!"
Yunqing smiled without a word, and Tong Xi asked again, "By the way, that story you didn't finish, about the plain noodles and the Tsinghua University president, what was that about?"
