#though also Hua Cheng judges what an acceptable bet is in the beginning of the scene with the daughter-betting man

[fluffypurpleglitterdemon]

During the "flirting while betting on Lang Qianqiu" scene, when cutting over to how the ghosts react to all this, the text repeatedly emphasizes that this is Chengzu's first time betting against someone. I wonder if this is something that gets contradicted later/wasn't meant to be taken as fact rather than Xie Lian's assumptions, or if my impression from fandom of what goes on in the gambling den was wrong?
