CHAPTER 1592: CHAPTER 1593: LANDLORD AND CLOTHING

"What do you mean? Are you making fun of me? Are you saying I look ugly with this face mask on?"

"You said it yourself, I didn’t say a thing, I haven’t opened my mouth."

"You..."

Seeing that Du Yanan and you are about to argue again, Li Qiyi, as the elder sister, can’t help but sigh. She steps forward and says to both of you, "You two should stop arguing, we’re all family, peace is most important."

"I don’t have a brother like him." Du Yanan directly gives you the cold shoulder.

You keep smiling, now he seems to have the upper hand: "I only have one sister."

"I know you two have a great relationship. Alright, alright, stop messing around." Li Qiyi looks at you and asks, "Mu Yun, were you just planning to go back to your room?"

You nod your head: "Yeah, I’m bored, planning to go back and sleep."

"It’s only seven o’clock and you’re planning to sleep?" As she speaks, Du Yanan can’t help but look you up and down, and laughs, "As a young person, a few hours in the evening is when your energy is most abundant. Which nightclub or bar isn’t packed right now? Only people who are old would sleep so early. Oh dear, this seems like a sign of premature aging."

You look at Du Yanan quite speechlessly because there’s no way to refute her.

Just as Du Yanan said, you basically have no interest in the things that young people are passionate about, like gaming, clubbing, and so on.

Actually, this mainly has to do with your experiences, after all, for someone who has experienced life and death countless times, no game can get your adrenaline pumping anymore.

Li Qiyi also feels your behavior is overly unconventional. After all, no matter what, you’re only eighteen years old. No matter how much you’ve experienced or how deeply you’ve understood life, you can’t detach from your peer group, and you should try some things that normal people do.

Li Qiyi looks at you and says, "It’s still too early to sleep now. There’s an XBOX in the living room, a computer, and an iPad, pick one to play with."

You give a yawn, shake your hand: "Still can’t muster any interest, these things are still too simple for me."

"If you find it too simple, how about we play an interactive game?" Li Qiyi smiles at you.

You tilt your head and ask, "What game?"

You have no reason to refuse an invitation from your own sister.

"Landlord." Li Qiyi’s mouth curves into a smile that’s almost perfect.

Hearing the words "Landlord," several images involuntarily flash through your mind, one of them being yourself sitting stark naked on the ground, covering your crotch with both hands, stubbornly refusing to get up, that was when you were just six years old.

Originally popular in the River City area, Landlord was adapted by some enthusiasts from "Running Fast," first known as "Two Against One." After improvements by many, it officially became known as Landlord.

Landlord, Texas Hold’em, and Baccarat are three of the world’s most popular poker games.

In childhood, you also played Landlord, but at that time you were young and always lost, and every time you lost everything including your underpants, usually it was elder sister Li Qiyi who won them back for you.

It could be said that Landlord is a small shadow that can’t be erased from your childhood.

Du Yanan certainly knows your past, because she was also one of the people who bullied you.

Seeing your change of expression, Du Yanan can’t help but use a provocative tone: "Hehe, I advise you not to play anymore, you used to lose so miserably against a few of us, in the end, it was always Sister Qiyi who had to clean up the mess. And now, Sister Qiyi is joining the ranks, so someone better not lose too badly."

Anyhow, you’re idle and also want to avenge a past loss, so you raise an eyebrow and say, "Since it’s Landlord, let’s play it the way we did when we were kids, if you lose badly, you can pawn your clothes."

"C-Clothes?" Hearing this, Du Yanan shows an expression of astonishment. No matter what, she’s a girl, don’t mention you, she wouldn’t do it even with Li Qiyi facing each other naked.

"What, are you scared?" This is the effect you want.

"Scared?" Du Yanan gives Wang Ling an eye roll, "I’m supposed to be scared of a kid like you who hasn’t even grown all your hair yet?"

You deliberately lower your head to look at your pants crotch, then pull open your shorts from the back and glance down, afterwards you say in a very earnest and serious manner, "Actually, I’ve grown completely."

"You..."

"What, do you want to see? If you want to see now, I can take it off and show you."

"Get lost!"

Seeing Du Yanan’s angry posture, you laugh exceptionally happily.

"Bring it on then, does the captain of this team fear you?"

Soon, you all sit around a tea table in the middle of the living room.

After the cards are dealt, the cutting starts, Du Yanan is the first to call: "Call landlord."

"Rob landlord." You’re at Du Yanan’s disadvantage, you immediately look at her with a smile.

"Don’t rob." Li Qiyi says lightly.

"I’m robbing!" Du Yanan glares at you.

You shrug, make a "go ahead" gesture to Du Yanan.

Du Yanan snorts coldly.

"Pair of threes." Du Yanan opens the cards.

"Pair of fours." You immediately follow up.

Du Yanan can’t help but look up and glare at you again, you stick out your tongue slightly.

"Pair of twos!" Du Yanan trumps you, and seeing neither you nor Li Qiyi say anything, throws out the card, "Five with a single."

"Beat that." You just throw a three sevens with five.

"No better." Li Qiyi shakes her head,

Du Yanan looks at her own cards, feeling very frustrated because she just had three sixes and thought she could make a good move.

Frustrated all the same, Du Yanan can only shake her head.

"Straight." You throw down a straight, both women shake their heads.

"Straight." You slyly throw another straight.

Both women still shake their heads, Du Yanan stares at you: "I don’t believe you have another straight!"

"Straight." With that, you throw down five cards, then wink at Du Yanan.

"I..." Du Yanan struggles to resist going berserk, viciously throws her cards on the tea table, and you notice Du Yanan has a pair of jokers.

Some say playing poker relies on luck and character, but actually, it involves a lot of techniques and psychological strategies.

Du Yanan didn’t know that when you were in the troops, you enjoyed using Landlord to bully your team members, after being bullied, the next day these members would be in agony over the mountain of training tasks.

After several rounds, Du Yanan’s points have been wiped out.

You look at Du Yanan with a beaming smile as bright as a September sky: "Your points are gone, let’s call it here."

"No way!" Du Yanan, already someone who never admits defeat, especially not to you, shows determination, "Next, if I lose once, I’ll take off my clothes!"
