Chapter 196 - 196 Old Maid
196 Old Maid
Oh?
Ye Xuan looked at the reward on the screen and was stunned for a moment. This reward was interesting, especially the divine-level reward fragment at the end.
He wondered what he would get after gathering three fragments.
After Ye Xuan signed in, he sat on the sofa with Ye Meng.
Ye Meng looked at Ye Xuan’s fair face and her heart instantly softened.
She was worried that Ye Xuan would feel bored, so she suggested, “Little brother, are you very bored now? Why don’t we play solitaire together?”
There were limited amusement facilities at home now, but there were still cards.
“Do you know how to play Old Maid? It’s simple!” Ye Meng blinked and suggested.
This game was simple and interesting. It was most suitable to play with children.
When Ye Xuan heard his sister’s words, he raised his head high and looked smug. He said loudly, “Forget it, Sister. You definitely can’t win against me! I’m afraid that if you lose, you’ll cry to me. It’s so troublesome!”
He was a person with divine-level gambling skills, okay? Moreover, he had obtained this after signing in when he was three years old. How could he lose?
Ye Meng raised her eyebrows and thought that her brother was bragging to her. She immediately replied indignantly, “Are you that powerful? Then I want to see it for myself! Let me tell you, I’m known as the Solitaire Queen, okay? Isn’t it just Old Maid? This is a game that depends on luck!”
In terms of luck, Ye Meng had never lost to anyone.
Seeing that his sister insisted, Ye Xuan agreed helplessly.
Ye Meng looked at Ye Xuan’s uninterested expression and a thought suddenly flashed across her mind. She said loudly, “Kid, didn’t you say that you have a reputation in the gambling world? Since that’s the case, why don’t we add some stakes?”
When Ye Xuan saw his sister acting like a drama queen, he resisted the urge to laugh and pretended to say, “Oh? How are you going to bet, heroine?”
“In the end, gold and silver are just ordinary things! Since we’re playing Old Maid, why don’t we do this? Whoever loses will draw a little turtle1 on their skin. How about that?” Ye Meng was indeed famous for her good acting skills. Her eyes, smile, and lines were just right, making people unable to help but be drawn in.
After saying that, Ye Meng even found a water-soluble pen from the drawer and pointed at it. “Use this to draw.”
Ye Xuan laughed. Wasn’t his Sixth Sister too cute?
Whoever lost would draw a small turtle.
She was really like a child!
He had to teach her a lesson today and let her know the dangers of society!
Moreover, he had to teach his Sixth Sister a lesson. No matter what, gambling was wrong!
As the successor of the new era, the first thing he had to do was reject gambling and drugs!
Ye Meng took out a deck of cards and shuffled them briefly. She casually took out a card and placed it inside. No one knew what card it was.
Next, it was time to distribute the cards.
After obtaining the cards, they had to discard all the pairs in their hands, leaving only cards that they did not have a pair for.
Next, they drew a card from each other’s hands in order until all the cards in their hands were discarded.
Furthermore, whoever had a card with no pairing card would lose.
Ye Xuan didn’t grab the cards immediately. Instead, he reached out and cut the cards, which meant that he divided the stack of cards into two portions. This way, the starting cards would be different.
Many places that relied on manual shuffling relied on such simple methods to prevent cheating.
When Ye Meng saw Ye Xuan’s skilled operation, she couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows and say, “Not bad, Young brat. You’re quite capable!”
This set of actions was smooth and natural. It really looked like he was skilled!
After the two of them finished grabbing the cards, they started to discard the pairs in their hands. Soon, there were only a few cards left in their hands.
Ye Meng raised her hand at Ye Xuan. “I’ll let a brat like you draw from me first. I don’t want you to say that I’m bullying you as an adult.”
Ye Xuan did not modestly decline. He took a card from Ye Meng’s hand, gathered a pair, and discarded the pair.
As the two of them exchanged cards, Ye Xuan discarded his last pair of cards.
“Oh, I won!” Ye Xuan wasn’t really celebrating. He just said it to let his Sixth Sister hear it.
Ye Meng looked at the single card in her hand and said angrily, “Hmph, you’re just a little lucky!”
It was really infuriating!
It turned out that she still wanted to show off in front of her brother. In the end, not only did she not show her skills, but she also embarrassed herself.
Ye Xuan looked at his Sixth Sister and coughed lightly. “Aiya, I wonder if what a certain someone said just now still counts? Can I get that person to draw a little turtle?”
He was still thinking about the bet!
Ye Meng looked at Ye Xuan’s smug expression and snorted coldly. She threw the water-soluble pen on the table and said hatefully, “Don’t worry, I’ve always kept my word! But since you’ve treated me like this, after I turn the tables, I’ll definitely paint your exposed skin full of little turtles to vent my hatred!”
Ye Xuan laughed out loud. This was the first time he saw his sister so flustered and exasperated. She was too cute!
He could not take it anymore. He simply could not take it anymore.
Ye Xuan deliberately observed Ye Meng’s body and finally decided to draw the first little turtle on her thigh.
Looking at the fair thigh in front of him, Ye Xuan felt that his eyes were about to be blinded.
Wasn’t his Sixth Sister a little too fair?
He felt that this was the real Snow White. He would not accept any rebuttals.
As Ye Xuan thought about this, an idea suddenly flashed across his mind. He said mischievously, “Sixth Sister, don’t be unhappy! I didn’t draw this little turtle for nothing. I’ll read your fortune for free. How about that?”
Did he say that he would read her fortune?
Ye Meng looked at her brother in disdain. She did not know what this brat was up to.
“Alright! Then read it for me! If it’s not accurate, I won’t give you money!” Ye Meng cooperated.
Ye Xuan held the water-soluble pen and muttered, “From your physiognomy, you want your life to be complete.”
With that, Ye Xuan drew a circle on Ye Meng’s leg.
“However, you’ll encounter some bumps.”
He drew two horizontal and two vertical lines in the circle.
“However, you will meet four nobles, who will shelter you from the wind and rain. They will help you seek luck and avoid calamity!”
Outside the circle, four small cat ears were drawn.
“If you want to succeed, you have to do things in an orderly manner, with a head and tail to everything!”
In the end, Ye Xuan took a pen and added a head and tail to the circle.
At this point, a small turtle appeared on Ye Meng’s thigh.
Looking at the ugly little turtle, Ye Meng finally understood. This brat was deliberately tricking her!
“Stupid little brother, watch how I deal with you!” As Ye Meng spoke, she was about to pounce over.
Ye Xuan quickly pleaded, “Sister, I’m just teasing you! Let’s continue playing cards, okay?”
Seeing Ye Xuan obediently sit back on the sofa, Ye Meng snorted and warned, “Then you have to be careful this time. I’ve already thought of where to draw turtles on you!”
Hmph, she would draw on Ye Xuan’s fair and tender face to take revenge on him!
Unfortunately, in the second round, Ye Meng’s luck was still a little bad. The final victory did not belong to her.
Therefore, a little turtle was drawn on Ye Meng’s right leg.
“This is really strange! I don’t believe that you won’t be unlucky!” Ye Meng was a little anxious from losing and started to urge Ye Xuan to deal the cards quickly.
Even lions had to take a nap sometime, right?
Ye Meng’s requirements were not high. As his sister, wouldn’t it be too embarrassing if she kept losing?
At least let her win one round!
Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned. Ye Xuan kept winning while Ye Meng kept drawing little turtles on her body.
“I can’t take it anymore. I’m not playing anymore! My luck is too bad!” Ye Meng was really furious. She had played for so long, but she had not won a single round.
Now, Ye Meng’s body was already covered in turtles.
As long as it was exposed, her body would be covered in little turtles. There was no space for any new turtles.
What was the point of continuing to play?!
Ye Meng fell into deep suspicion.
If winning one or two rounds in a row was considered a skill, then if he won so many rounds…
Ye Meng felt that her brother’s eyes had X-ray vision. He had almost never taken the single card from her hand.
It was as if it was automatically blocked. It had never been selected.
It was simply too magical.
Ye Meng also suspected that Ye Xuan had played some tricks, but the cards were from her house. Furthermore, Ye Xuan was so short that he couldn’t peek from above.
“Ah! How infuriating!” Ye Meng pushed the cards in her hand and looked at Ye Xuan with burning eyes. “Hmph, anyway, I suspect that you cheated! Come over immediately. I have to draw one for you!”
With that, Ye Meng pounced on Ye Xuan, planning to catch her brother and draw a turtle on him.
With Ye Xuan’s speed, if he wanted to run, no one could catch him.
However, in order to make his sister happy, Ye Xuan pretended that he had failed to escape and was very unwilling to have a turtle drawn on him.
Ye Meng deliberately drew a little turtle on Ye Xuan’s arm. After drawing it, she muttered unhappily, “Aiyo, I seem to have made a mistake! I didn’t even read Little Xuan Xuan’s fortune. Let’s see if he wants his life to be complete.”
Seeing that his sister was so happy after drawing the turtle, Ye Xuan cooperated and said, “There’s no need! My life is already very complete with such good sisters!”
Ye Meng was overjoyed. She felt as if she had won a round and even hummed a tune. “Aiya, I’m so happy! Alright, Little Xuan Xuan, let’s take a shower together!”
At this moment, Ye Meng remembered that she should have drawn the turtle on his private parts.
