"Hey~ What are you doing? Trying to peek at my cards? No way, turn your head away now~"

Yue Jiuling was about to start a game with a deck of cards when she noticed Ye Dongfeng secretly peeking at her cards.

After being discovered, Ye Dongfeng quickly turned his head back and said, "Oh dear~ I haven't seen it yet~"

Yue Jiuling played a pair of 2s and said, "So what? I'm not allowed to look anyway. A pair of 2s, want it?"

Upon hearing this, Little Cabbage immediately exclaimed, "Yes, the Royal Flush!"

Seeing that Xiaobaicai had played his trump card, Ye Dongfeng, who had no more high-ranking cards left, could only look at his own hand and say, "No, I can't play. Oh dear, it looks like I'm going to lose again this time."

Yue Jiuling also shook her head and said, "No, hahaha, Xiaobaicai, how many cards do you have left? Play them all. Dongfeng, the landlord, is definitely going to lose to us two peasants."

Little Cabbage chuckled and tossed out two cards, saying, "Haha~ A pair of 3s, want one?"

Upon seeing the pair of 3s, Ye Dongfeng immediately threw out a pair of 10s and said, "I want a pair of 10s. Actually, I think I still have a chance to turn things around."

Yue Jiuling looked at Ye Dongfeng and smiled, as if she could already see the final result. She nodded and said, "10, then I'll go for a pair of Kings."

Xiao Baicai immediately threw down two more cards: "A pair of 2s!" He looked at Ye Dongfeng opposite him and smiled: "Brother Dongfeng, do you want them?"

Ye Dongfeng bit his lip, looking at the last card in Xiaobaicai's hand, and shook his head: "No, oh dear, it seems we're really doomed to lose."

Ye Dongfeng said no, so Yue Jiuling naturally followed suit, because she was now in a team with Xiaobaicai, and if Xiaobaicai won, she would win too.

Seeing this, Xiaobaicai immediately played her last card and said to Yue Jiuling, "Hahaha~ A 5, we won, oh yeah!"

Ye Dongfeng immediately threw out all the playing cards in his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I lost again. I'm not playing anymore. Let's go check on the hidden ones."

Yue Jiuling's group stopped playing and went to watch the other group next door. They saw Bai Xinyi and Mu Xiaoyi huddled together, whispering and comparing their cards. Their opponents were the hidden landlord, who looked at them with a smile and said, "Are you ready yet? No switching cards allowed. You can compare cards, but I'm watching you."

Bai Xinyu pouted and said, "Tch, why would we change our cards? We can still beat you even if we don't change them, hmph~"

Yue Jiuling had already walked up to Bai Xinyu and said, "How about it, let me see your cards?"

Mu Xiaoyi said, "Sigh~ This hand of mine is not easy to play at all, it's too scattered."

Hidden said, "Hurry up, we've been waiting for you for a long time."

Under the hidden urging, Bai Xinyu thought it over and over and finally played a pair of 6s: "Fine, this will do."

After Bai Xinyu played her card, Yinni turned to look at Mu Xiaoyi: "And you?"

Mu Xiaoyi hesitated for a long time, but finally she gritted her teeth and shook her head, saying, "Forget it, no."

Seeing that Mu Xiaoyi didn't play her card, Yin An played a pair of royal flush: "You don't want it, huh? Then I'll play royal flush!"

Seeing such a powerful hand, the two girls, lacking strong cards, naturally passed on theirs. Then, Hidden played a series of cards in quick succession: "Three 10s and a pair of 4s, want them? No? Then four 5s and a Jack, and if you still don't want them, it's a pair of 7s. Okay, that's it, I win!"

"Oh no, I lost again!" Bai Xinyu threw down the remaining playing cards in her hand and then cried, "How can you be so lucky? Why do we always lose to you?"

Mu Xiaoyi pouted and said, "That's right, I'm starting to suspect you're cheating."

Seeing how easily Yinni won, the other onlookers went to look at Bai Xinyi and the other person's cards. When they saw them, wow, those cards were indeed terrible. They didn't have any pairs, they couldn't even form a straight, and they didn't have any high cards. No wonder they lost.

"Tsk~ You two are really unlucky."

Yue Jiuling squatted down beside him and said, "Speaking of which, are we still playing? It should be about time, right?"

They've been playing cards here for almost an hour, and the little shop across the street has already closed.

Hidden took out his phone and said, "It's almost time, let's stop playing. Little Cabbage, take all the playing cards back with you. Remember, once you get in the car, don't come out again."

Upon hearing this, Little Cabbage bent down to pick up the playing cards from the ground: "Okay, I understand."

Xiao Baicai quickly got back into the car, and the person left behind stood there for less than five minutes before the hidden alarm clock went off.

'Ding-ling-ling~'

"The time has finally come. Let's go, everyone to your positions, back to your respective manhole covers."

After finishing speaking, Yinni stood next to a manhole cover, while Mu Xiaoyi led Ye Dongfeng to another manhole cover, and Bai Xinyu and Yue Jiuling went to the last manhole cover at the end of the street.

This street isn't very big, and there are only a few shops, so there aren't many manhole covers or anything like that.

As Yue Jiuling and Bai Xinyu walked and chatted, Yue Jiuling looked at Bai Xinyu's face and said, "Xinyu, have you gained weight recently? Why does your face look rounder?"

"Oh no, have I gained weight again? Is it because I've been eating too many snacks lately? I can't take this anymore, I have to give up snacks!"

Yue Jiuling had heard Bai Xinyu say countless times that she had given up snacks, but in the end it was just talk and she hadn't really given them up. She gave Bai Xinyu a 'I don't believe you' look and said, "Come on, you think anyone would believe you if you said you'd give up snacks? I'm tired of hearing that."
