Chapter 672 Morning Games The morning light filtered through the thin gauze curtains, casting a warm, hazy yellow glow in the room.
On the messy, soft bed, playing cards were scattered among the floorboards.
When traveling, playing cards are definitely the easiest game to carry.
The eternal god of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).
Gu Luo leaned back against the fluffy pillow, his posture relaxed, a knowing smile playing on his lips.
His slender fingers held the cards as if they were not playing cards, but rather a command token that gave him control over the entire situation.
"Smack!"
With another crisp, clean sound, a set of cards was thrown into the center of the bed.
"Four twos! Want some?"
The force was so great that the mattress visibly trembled as he threw the cards, causing Gu Ximan and Lu Xuexue, who were sitting opposite him, to sway slightly as well.
This is the umpteenth time this has happened.
Gu Ximan's originally fair cheeks were already flushed red, not from embarrassment, but from anger.
No, where did those four twos come from?
It's not closed, so it's not open, right?
She stared at the scattered cards in her hand, then looked up at Gu Luo's calm and composed demeanor, her almond-shaped eyes wide open, almost spitting fire.
Another eye roll that she couldn't help, accompanied by a very soft "humph" squeezed out from her nose.
He subconsciously clenched the pitiful loose cards in his hand, his knuckles turning white.
That's really bullying.
I only have two strong cards, but the rest of my cards are absolutely terrible.
Lu Xuexue, standing to the side, was in no better shape; her ears and neck were tinged with a blush.
Biting her lower lip, she looked at her cards, then stole a glance at Gu Luo, her eyes filled with resentment and a kind of helpless amazement.
Every time Gu Luo threw a bomb, her slender shoulders would hunch slightly, like a frightened little animal.
This is all money.
As we all know, bombs, like the Sheepstick, can snowball, doubling the stakes.
"A royal flush, a pair of royal flushes."
Gu Luo's nonchalant voice rang out again, and the last two trump cards fell gracefully, like the final horn of defeat.
Another strong jolt.
The boy was incredibly strong.
This shock finally caused Gu Ximan's carefully maintained composure to completely crumble.
She shuddered, as if the force of the bomb had penetrated the mattress and struck her directly. The broken cards slipped from her hand and scattered onto the blanket. She raised her hands in surrender, her voice carrying a rare hint of pleading:
"I was wrong, I was wrong... Bro, good brother! You... you go bomb the snow, stop focusing your fire on me..."
Despite her exceptional card skills, she couldn't withstand so many bombs.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuexue immediately followed suit, nodding her head vigorously like a chick pecking at rice, her soft, sweet voice trembling:
"Brother Gu Luo... I... I give up too..."
There's no denying it; Gu Luo is like the master of the poker table, with all the trump cards and bombs seemingly having eyes and running towards his hand.
Four twos, four aces, four kings, ten queens... a galaxy of big names, every move he made was earth-shattering, and even the large bed that could support three people became his war drum to declare victory.
Moreover, the stakes for each round are astronomical.
Even though it's just game currency, the sheer amount of hundreds of millions of dollars can create enough psychological pressure to make anyone's scalp tingle.
Looking at the two rosy little faces in front of him, filled with frustration and a hint of awe, Gu Luo slowly exhaled a long breath, slightly restraining his domineering aura.
He casually grabbed a small pile of "game coins" next to him and casually tossed them towards Lu Xuexue. Although they were just virtual tokens, they seemed to make a sound as if they were being torn apart.
He laughed and said, "Okay, let's stop here then."
Lu Xuexue subconsciously made a catching motion, then vaguely gathered her hands around her cheeks, as if she really had some coins falling and needed to pick them up.
She tilted her head back, her eyes sparkling with a pure, unadulterated adoration that only comes from utter defeat.
"Brother Gu Luo... I truly admire you..."
Gu Ximan was still immersed in a huge sense of defeat and absurdity, her gaze somewhat unfocused as she stared at the cards scattered on the bed, muttering in agreement:
"Yeah... but this just doesn't make sense... where do you get so many game coins, and how do you keep getting these amazing cards every time...?"
She smoothed her slightly messy, cool brown hair, completely baffled:
"Where did you get so many...? Did you do it secretly...?"
Listening to their murmurs, a mixture of admiration, resentment, fear, and curiosity, Gu Luo's sense of triumph reached its peak.
He reached out, pinching Gu Ximan's and Lu Xuexue's warm, delicate cheeks with his thumb and forefinger respectively, gently shaking them, chuckling, his low voice full of mischief and confidence:
"Are you stupid? If I didn't have billions on me, would I dare to take you all?"
"Ugh~~~" Gu Ximan curled her lip in disdain: "You really take things for granted... If it weren't for the fact that I've been playing outside with Xuexue these past few days and I'm a bit tired... hmph..."
She slapped away Gu Luo's mischievous hand, puffed out her cheeks like an inflated pufferfish, and glared at him defiantly:
"...What are you so smug about! Just you wait...wait until I gather reinforcements and we'll fight you to the death!"
Sister Ning, Sister He, and Qingling.
They are all experts.
I just don't believe it.
Oh, right, and Sister Ling too.
"Alright, alright, I'll be waiting. To be honest, you guys are really not up to par." Gu Luo said this, but in his heart he was extremely looking forward to it.
That's right, Xiaoman, that's exactly it.
Being passive is good, being passive means you can't be too idle, it's just... well, you know.
Sunlight streamed into the bedroom, illuminating the deck of cards scattered on the bed and the subtle, intimate atmosphere flowing between the three of them, making the scene exceptionally vivid.
