Ye Fan turned and led Lu Xiaoman to the second sub-level, where Mo Xiaoyan caught up and took his other arm.
After circling the second sub-level, Ye Fan asked Lu Xiaoman, "Is there anything you're interested in playing?"
"This floor is much better than the last one," Lu Xiaoman said. "Let's sit in the billiards room; it seems pretty quiet there."
Entering the billiards room, the three of them chose casual seating at tables on either side of the room.
Since these tables were rectangular with fixed sofas on either side, Lu Xiaoman and Mo Xiaoyan sat on one side, with Ye Fan on the other.
They ordered three drinks and some dry snacks, chatting quietly with smiles on their faces, creating a rather warm and pleasant atmosphere.
After about fifteen minutes of conversation, Mo Xiaoyan, noticing others playing cards or chess at different tables, suggested they play cards as well.
