"It's so nice to be calm."
Saturday night, three weeks later.
Currently, Chen Yu was half-reclining on the sofa with a handful of poker cards in his hand. He was currently playing Landlord with Chen Yike and Chen Erke.
Chen Sanke picked up the cards and acted as the referee.
"Three points, I want it."
After grabbing the last card, Chen Yu revealed his trump card.
6, 6, 6.
"Brother, you're shameless!" Chen Erke pouted in dissatisfaction.
"How did I go back on my word?" Chen Yu asked, raising an eyebrow.
"You're shameless!
We'll always win. "
"That's because I'm skilled. How can you say that I'm cheating?"
Stuffing the three trump cards into his hand, Chen Yu said, "If you don't have enough crayons, send Third Eldest."
"Let me do it!"
Chen Sanke's eyes lit up. She quickly ran under the sofa and took out a bag of French fries. "I … I have so many to gamble with."
"That's called a bet," Chen Yike corrected.
"Stakes."
"Sure." Chen Yu nodded. "Come up, then."
"No!" Chen Erke clenched the poker cards. "I still have more than ten crayons. I can win them back."
"If I lose again, I'll lose it all.
I won't buy you another one. "
"I will definitely win it back!" Chen Erke's cheeks puffed up. She pulled out a card and slapped it on the coffee table. "3!"
"You're not … the host. How can you make the first move?" As the judge, Chen Sanke was very responsible.
"It's fine." Waving his hand, Chen Yu said, "Let her pay."
"I'm in." Chen Erke pointed at the poker cards on the coffee table. "A three."
Nodding, Chen Yu pulled out four cards and said, "Four threes! Bomb!"
Chen Erke: "…"
"What's wrong?
Is there a problem? "Chen Yu asked.
"You're cheating!" Chen Erke's face immediately turned red.
"How are you acting shamelessly?"
"I only played a three, and you actually used a bomb to bomb me!
That's not how you play! "
"... Sure, sure," Chen Yu said as he took back the four "threes" and replaced them with a "J."
"Q." Chen Yike pressed a Q.
"Little Wang!" Chen Erke's anger turned to joy, and she asked happily, "Do you want it?"
"Yes.
Two King Bombs, "Chen Yu said as he tossed out the King and Little King." We're at the top.
I'll go on. Four J's, or? "
Chen Yike also threw a bomb. "Four Qs."
Chen Erke: "…"
"Crush him to death, four Ks."
"Bomb, four aces."
Chen Erke: "…"
"Bomb, two kings."
"You pay, you pay."
"10, J, Q, K, A."
"Bomb, four Qs."
"Bomb, four twos."
Chen Erke: "…"
"I don't care. You pay."
"Airplanes 44, 55, and 66. No more cards," Chen Yu said, shrugging. "I win."
Chen Erke: "…"
"With a smile on your face, it's glorious."
Stretching out his hand, Chen Yu took away all of Chen Erke's crayons. He then took away Chen Yike's dozen or so exercise books.
He was right.
The stakes of the three of them were not the same.
Chen Yu's bet was a Nintendo Switch game cartridge.
Chen Yike's bet was the exercise book.
Chen Erke's stake was her precious crayon.
After a few rounds of Fight the Landlord...
Chen Erke won a total of five exercise books and one game cartridge, but she lost all of her crayons...
"Shameless, shameless, shameless..."
Chen Erke's eyes reddened as she reluctantly watched the crayons walk away one after another...
"You don't have anything else to bet. Go down and let Third Eldest do it," Chen Yu suggested.
"Okay, okay!" Chen Erke excitedly pushed Chen Erke away and clumsily shuffled the deck with her tender hands.
"What are your stakes?" Chen Yike asked.
"My snacks!" Raising the fries, Chen Erke opened the seal and said, "I'll count them one by one."
"That's unfair."
Shaking his head, Chen Yu said, "Your sister's exercise books, while mine's game cartridge. Both are worth more than your fries."
"T-Then... What should we do?"
"How about this? We'll count two fries for one point, and six for three points.
You're the youngest, so your sister and I will go easy on you. "
"Okay."
As if she had picked up a huge bargain, Chen Erke hurriedly nodded her head, afraid that her brother and sister would go back on their words.
After shuffling and grabbing the cards, Chen Erke fiddled with the cards in her hands in a flurry. Pulling out a card, she said, "Three!"
Immediately, Chen Yu threw out four cards and said, "Four threes, bombs..."
…
When Chen Yu returned to his bedroom with a bag of crayons and fries, he heard Chen Erke's wailing coming from the living room.
"Landlord sure is fun."
Chen Yu couldn't help but smile. He then placed the crayons and fries on the study table and stretched his waist.
"Mr. Chen, I want to play as well."
Revealing her figure, Little Peach asked excitedly, "Can I play as well?"
"Put on your clothes first."
"Okay."
Putting on the dress Chen Yu had bought for her overseas, Little Peach said expectantly, "Let's play."
"Landlord requires at least three people to play. Moreover, there must be a stake.
What are your stakes? "
After pondering for a moment, Little Peach opened her mouth and pulled out a small object. "My spring."
Chen Yu: "..."
"Wanna play?"
"My ass!
Go write some code! "
"Oh..." Disappointed, Little Peach sat down before the study table. After looking at Chen Yu for a moment, she pulled out another small object from her mouth and said, "If the spring doesn't work, what about the pulse capacitor?
If it doesn't work, a hydraulic lever will do. "
"Go write some code!!"
"Oh..."
Grabbing a handful of fries, Chen Yu lay down on his bed and ate while resting.
Buzz!
Buzz, buzz!
Not long after, his phone suddenly vibrated.
"Again."
Chen Yu furrowed his brows deeply.
Even without looking at the screen, he knew that the sender was the female agent named Xing Biqi.
Tapping on the screen, Chen Yu entered WeChat.
Sure enough, the message was from Xing Biqi.
[Xing Biqi: "Good evening. Have you eaten?"]
[Chen Yu: "I've eaten. What's the matter?"]
[Xing Biqi: "I have another math problem I don't know. Can you teach me on Monday?"]
"Dammit..."
[Chen Yu: "I was so rude to you, so why are you still asking me questions?"]
[Xing Biqi: "The greater the temper, the greater the ability. You are a capable person. It is only right for me to be reprimanded for seeking knowledge."]
[Chen Yu: "..."]
Exiting WeChat, Chen Yu tossed his phone to the side and sighed in frustration.
For some reason, the development of the plot was somewhat off...
Ever since Chen Yu "bullied" Xing Biqi half a month ago, that woman seemed to have become addicted to it. Her entire personality had become abnormal.
Even if Chen Yu became more aggressive, Xing Biqi would silently endure it and let him bully her.
It was as if being bullied would make her happy.
Once, twice, or thrice was still fine. However, after four, five, six, seven, eight times, Chen Yu couldn't take it anymore.
He felt as if he had fallen into some kind of trap that he couldn't break free from.
Unable to figure out the reason, Chen Yu could only attribute it to the "female agent's" profession.
For the sake of completing her mission, she could ignore any pain.
"Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Rolling out of bed, Chen Yu pulled out the box of "torture" tools from under his bed. Sneering, he said, "Let's see if you regret this!"
Whoosh!
Pushing away the box, Chen Yu lay back on his bed and said to Little Peach, "Come here and hypnotize me."
"Are you going to sleep?"
"Mhm.
The third livestream's product will arrive tomorrow. I need to conserve my energy and prepare for a big wave. "
"Okay."
Jumping out of her chair, Little Peach picked up the Hypnosis Rattle and asked, "Mr. Chen, do you still want the palace, lavish, and lavish scenes today?"
"Huh?
Why do I feel like you can't wait... "
Ding, dong!
Ding, dong!
Ding, dong …
