Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Did you catch up?
There is no limit to how many rounds you can play Landlord without using Happy Beans, and this is Ji Maili's Achilles' heel.
Ever since Ji Maili learned how to play Landlord, no one wants to play with him. At first, Ji Huan and Liang Lin would play with him, but later, when Ji Huan heard that they were playing Landlord, he would find an excuse to slip away. Liang Lin doted on him, but unfortunately, they couldn't play Landlord together.
Ji Maili: "Call the landlord!"
Tao Dacheng glanced at the cards in his hand. Two kings and four twos, and he didn't understand. Is this how you play? "No, what cards do you have that you dare to call yourself landlord?"
Ji Maili's biggest card is a J, and it's a single one. "What do you care about me? I'm going to bid anyway."
Tao Dacheng was speechless: "I played ten games, you called ten games, and lost ten games. You really never get tired of it."
Ji Maili said: "Why not call, what if you win next time?"
Tao Dacheng asked Chen Lu, "Do you think he has the same mentality when fighting? What if he wins next time?"
Shen Lu: "I don't have a good hand."
Tao Dacheng cursed, "You've turned the water release into a flood, and you've never done anything right."
Shen Lu smiled and said, "Well, it's just not good."
After playing from seven to ten o'clock, Tao Dacheng was almost exhausted.
Ji Maili was very excited: "One more!"
Tao Dacheng quickly stood up and said, "No, no, we have a basketball game tomorrow."
Ji Maili was still not satisfied and looked at Chen Lu, "One last one."
Shen Lu didn't want to spoil his fun: "Really the last one?"
Ji Maili nodded.
Chen Lu said to Tao Dacheng, "Come on, one last shot."
Tao Dacheng pointed at himself and said, "...why don't you ask for my opinion?"
Chen Lu: "Stop talking nonsense, let's finish this game before leaving."
Tao Dacheng sat back down, "I'm such a fucking good buddy."
Ji Maili played Landlord all night long. Although he didn't win a single hand, he had a lot of fun.
When Tao Dacheng left, Shen Lu saw him out and locked the door. At the door, Tao Dacheng suddenly grabbed Shen Lu and asked, "Is it what I thought?"
Shen Lu probably guessed what he wanted to say, but still asked, "What?"
"You two," Tao Dacheng raised his chin towards the inside, "are you just childhood friends?"
Shen Lu didn't explain or deny it, "Go away."
Tao Dacheng was shocked: "Fuck!"
Tao Dacheng was just surprised, but he didn't feel that surprised. Having known each other for more than two years, he knew what kind of person Shen Lu was better than anyone else. It was only in front of Ji Maili that he pretended to be a decent woman.
Tao Dacheng patted Shen Lu's shoulder and said, "I sympathize with you for a second. He looks straighter than me."
Shen Lu looked back and saw through the window that Ji Maili was still fiddling with playing cards in the room.
Shen Lu said: "I didn't think about it."
Tao Dacheng sneered, "You have the will but not the guts?"
"No," Chen Lu said, "I'm reluctant to do so."
Tao Dacheng shuddered, "I'm really not used to hearing these words coming from your mouth."
Shen Lu laughed and chased him away, "Then just get used to it slowly, get out of here."
Ji Maili was tired after a day of running around at the sports meet. Not long after Tao Dacheng left, he fell asleep on the small sofa with a few playing cards in his hand.
Shen Lu patted his face and said, "Mai Mai, go to bed."
Ji Maili opened his eyes and looked at him confusedly for a while, "Come on, Shen Xiaolu."
"Fuck." Seeing him fall asleep again, Shen Lu said, "Can't you get up so I can hold you?"
Ji Maili uttered a vague "hmm".
Shen Lu picked him up from the sofa and brought him into the house and put him on the bed. Seeing that he didn't react, Shen Lu pinched his face and said, "I sold you out and you don't even know it."
The bed was really small. If the two of them squeezed here for a night, they wouldn't be able to get up tomorrow. Shen Lu took a pillow and prepared to sleep on the sofa outside. Just as he walked to the door, he heard Ji Maili mutter, "How did you become so strong?"
Shen Lu turned off the lights and said, "Go to sleep, stop talking nonsense."
Ji Maili turned over: "Where are you going?"
Shen Lu: "You go to sleep first, I'll have a cigarette."
Ji Maili lay on the pillow and muttered, "I want to learn to smoke too."
......
The next day, when Ji Maili woke up, Chen Lu was not there. There was a pillow on the sofa and a dozen cigarette butts in the ashtray.
"woke up?"
Ji Maili looked at Shen Lu who walked in from outside, "When did you learn to smoke?"
"Not long." Shen Lu put down his breakfast and took the ashtray away. "Go brush your teeth and wash your face. After you finish eating, go to school."
Ji Maili went to the bathroom and said, "I'm actually not interested in basketball games at all. If you weren't on the court, I wouldn't bother to watch it."
Shen Lu said: "Didn't you always clamor to learn how to play basketball?"
Ji Maili was so stupid, "When?"
Shen Lu didn't intend to bring this up, but just said it casually. When Ji Maili asked him the question in return, Shen Lu glanced at him and said, "Didn't you have a girl you liked in the second year of junior high school?"
Ji Maili stumbled and woke up instantly. Why was his dark history brought up so early in the morning?
Ji Maili turned around and glared at Chen Lu: "What the hell?"
Shen Lu looked at him, "Isn't it?"
The expression on Ji Maili's face was hard to describe. "Are your nerds' brains all idle? Do you remember all sorts of crap?"
Shen Lu picked up a cup of soy milk and pierced the membrane with a straw. "Did you catch him?"
"What the hell am I in the mood for? You've already left, so why would I want to?" Ji Maili glanced around and after a long pause, he continued, "It was only later that she asked me out one time, and then she wanted to kiss me."
Shen Lu's eyebrows moved, and the soy milk in the straw got stuck halfway.
Ji Maili suddenly started yelling, "I don't know what she had on her mouth at the time, it looked greasy, I felt disgusted, so I pushed her away, and then she never spoke to me again."
Shen Lu: “…”
The soy milk stuck in the straw was sucked up again. Shen Lu was silent for a while and then smiled.
What Tao Dacheng said is absolutely right, it’s a bit too straightforward.
Ji Maili frowned: "What are you laughing at?"
Shen Lu lowered his head and smiled, his shoulders shaking.
Ji Maili came over and kicked him, "Stop laughing!"
Shen Lu couldn't help laughing: "Why are you so cute?"
"You're the cute one, your whole family is cute!" Ji Maili stormed into the bathroom, "Fuck! You talk like you're very experienced and you're making fun of me!"
Shen Lu shook his head: "I don't have as much experience as you, I have never dated anyone until now."
Ji Maili turned around and mocked him, "You can't do that either. Hurry up and catch up with your early love. After the New Year, you will be an adult."
