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 Xuanâs fair face and her heart instantly softened.
She was worried that Ye Xuan would feel bored, so she suggested, âLittle brother, are you very bored now? Why donât we play solitaire together?â
There were limited amusement facilities at home now, but there were still cards.
âDo you know how to play Old Maid? Itâs simple!â Ye Meng blinked and suggested.
This game was simple and interesting. It was most suitable to play with children.
When Ye Xuan heard his sisterâs words, he raised his head high and looked smug. He said loudly, âForget it, Sister. You definitely canât win against me! Iâm afraid that if you lose, youâll cry to me. Itâs so troublesome!â
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, âAre you that powerful? Then I want to see it for myself! Let me tell you, Iâm known as the Solitaire Queen, okay? Isnât it just Old Maid? This is a game that depends on luck!â
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 Xuanâs uninterested expression and a thought suddenly flashed across her mind. She said loudly, âKid, didnât you say that you have a reputation in the gambling world? Since thatâs the case, why donât we add some stakes?â
When Ye Xuan saw his sister acting like a drama queen, he resisted the urge to laugh and pretended to say, âOh? How are you going to bet, heroine?â
âIn the end, gold and silver are just ordinary things! Since weâre playing Old Maid, why donât we do this? Whoever loses will draw a little turtle1 on their skin. How about that?â 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. âUse this to draw.â
Ye Xuan laughed. Wasnât 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 otherâs 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 didnât 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 Xuanâs skilled operation, she couldnât help but raise her eyebrows and say, âNot bad, Young brat. Youâre quite capable!â
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. âIâll let a brat like you draw from me first. I donât want you to say that Iâm bullying you as an adult.â
Ye Xuan did not modestly decline. He took a card from Ye Mengâs hand, gathered a pair, and discarded the pair.
As the two of them exchanged cards, Ye Xuan discarded his last pair of cards.
âOh, I won!â Ye Xuan wasnât 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, âHmph, youâre just a little lucky!â
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. âAiya, I wonder if what a certain someone said just now still counts? Can I get that person to draw a little turtle?â
He was still thinking about the bet!
Ye Meng looked at Ye Xuanâs smug expression and snorted coldly. She threw the water-soluble pen on the table and said hatefully, âDonât worry, Iâve always kept my word! But since youâve treated me like this, after I turn the tables, Iâll definitely paint your exposed skin full of little turtles to vent my hatred!â
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 Mengâs 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.
Wasnât 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, âSixth Sister, donât be unhappy! I didnât draw this little turtle for nothing. Iâll read your fortune for free. How about that?â
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.
âAlright! Then read it for me! If itâs not accurate, I wonât give you money!â Ye Meng cooperated.
...
Ye Xuan held the water-soluble pen and muttered, âFrom your physiognomy, you want your life to be complete.â
With that, Ye Xuan drew a circle on Ye Mengâs leg.
âHowever, youâll encounter some bumps.â
He drew two horizontal and two vertical lines in the circle.
âHowever, you will meet four nobles, who will shelter you from the wind and rain. They will help you seek luck and avoid calamity!â
Outside the circle, four small cat ears were drawn.
âIf you want to succeed, you have to do things in an orderly manner, with a head and tail to everything!â
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 Mengâs thigh.
Looking at the ugly little turtle, Ye Meng finally understood. This brat was deliberately tricking her!
âStupid little brother, watch how I deal with you!â As Ye Meng spoke, she was about to pounce over.
...
Ye Xuan quickly pleaded, âSister, Iâm just teasing you! Letâs continue playing cards, okay?â
Seeing Ye Xuan obediently sit back on the sofa, Ye Meng snorted and warned, âThen you have to be careful this time. Iâve already thought of where to draw turtles on you!â
Hmph, she would draw on Ye Xuanâs fair and tender face to take revenge on him!
Unfortunately, in the second round, Ye Mengâs luck was still a little bad. The final victory did not belong to her.
Therefore, a little turtle was drawn on Ye Mengâs right leg.
âThis is really strange! I donât believe that you wonât be unlucky!â 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 Mengâs requirements were not high. As his sister, wouldnât it be too embarrassing if she kept losing?
At least let her win one round!
Unfortunately, things didnât go as planned. Ye Xuan kept winning while Ye Meng kept drawing little turtles on her body.
âI canât take it anymore. Iâm not playing anymore! My luck is too bad!â Ye Meng was really furious. She had played for so long, but she had not won a single round.
Now, Ye Mengâs 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 roundsâ¦
Ye Meng felt that her brotherâs 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 couldnât peek from above.
âAh! How infuriating!â Ye Meng pushed the cards in her hand and looked at Ye Xuan with burning eyes. âHmph, anyway, I suspect that you cheated! Come over immediately. I have to draw one for you!â
With that, Ye Meng pounced on Ye Xuan, planning to catch her brother and draw a turtle on him.
With Ye Xuanâs 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 Xuanâs arm. After drawing it, she muttered unhappily, âAiyo, I seem to have made a mistake! I didnât even read Little Xuan Xuanâs fortune. Letâs see if he wants his life to be complete.â
Seeing that his sister was so happy after drawing the turtle, Ye Xuan cooperated and said, âThereâs no need! My life is already very complete with such good sisters!â
Ye Meng was overjoyed. She felt as if she had won a round and even hummed a tune. âAiya, Iâm so happy! Alright, Little Xuan Xuan, letâs take a shower together!â
At this moment, Ye Meng remembered that she should have drawn the turtle on his private parts.
