Tan Rou was very uncertain. She had never seen Zhuang Liu play Mahjong, but she had only seen him play chess. Zhuang Liuâs chess skills were very good. She wondered how good his playing skills were.
It didnât matter. It was just a game anyway. She wasnât going to take the tens of thousands. If Zhuang Liu lost, she would go over and comfort him.
Shen Jing smiled at Zhuang Liu. âSon, if it were any other time, I might have let you off. Todayâs situation is a little special, so I can only sacrifice you.â
Zhuang Liu was not to be outdone. He replied, âMom, although Iâve never played Mahjong before, it doesnât mean that I will definitely lose. You know, playing Mahjong is very dependent on luck. Maybe my luck is better.â
Shen Jing raised her eyebrows. âSon, just wait to lose to Mommy.â
âItâs not certain who will win or lose,â Zhuang Liu chuckled.
Like Tan Rou, Zhuang Liu also learned the rules on the spot. He had a very good memory. Tan Rou only said it once, and he remembered all the rules. Even if he didnât remember it, no one would wait for him. If he waited any longer, the sky would be bright.
When the game began, Zhuang Liu went through the rules in his mind again and began to draw cards. His luck was very good. He had drawn a hand of his own cards as soon as he came up. Before the others had even played their cards, he had already won the first match.
Zhuang Liu was very humble. After he drew the tile, he even asked Tan Rou, âRourou, do I win like this?â
Tan Rou looked at the surrounding gazes and then whispered to him, âYou do.â
Zhuang Liu was relieved. He pushed down all his cards. âIâm really sorry. I drew myself. Does this count as my win?â
The remaining three people were shocked, especially Tian Tian. She had yet to recognize what cards she had in her hand, and Zhuang Liu had actually won. This made her very unconfident in completing the next round of the game.
Tao Zhi encouraged her, âItâs okay. Zhuang Liu is still in the novice protection period. Thatâs why he won. You are also in the novice protection period. Believe in yourself, you will win the next round.â
Tian Tian nodded. âYes, Iâll definitely win the next round.â
Zhuang Liuâs luck wasnât very good in the next round. He got a good hand. Since he wasnât familiar with the rules of the game, he directly played the hand he needed. The winner of this round was Shen Jing.
Shen Jing was very happy. âSon, the reason why I let you win was because I deliberately let you win. Now, I wonât let you win anymore. Donât even think about winning again.â
Zhuang Liu said lightly, âMom, I drew the card myself in the previous round. You didnât have a chance to play at all. How could you let me win?â
Shen Jing glared at him. âHmph, Iâm not going to let you win from now on. Just wait.â
Zhuang Liu went through the rules in his mind again. âThen letâs continue.â
From the beginning of the third round, Zhuang Liu devoted himself to playing cards. He was a very easy person to concentrate on, so as long as he did something seriously, he would definitely succeed.
As expected, Zhuang Liu won the third round. Playing cards more or less required a bit of luck, but most of the time, it required the players to cooperate and calculate their own cards.
Zhuang Liu was very good at counting cards. He compared the cards that appeared on the field with his own cards, then calculated the cards that he needed, and then easily won the game.
âIâm sorry, I won this round again.â Zhuang Liu smiled.
Grandma Tao smiled and said, âAs expected of the person Xiao Rou fancied. Heâs as good at playing Mahjong as her but is this really your first time playing cards?â
âGrandma, Iâm not lying to you,â Zhuang Liu said. âItâs really my first time playing cards.â
âWhy wasnât I this good the first time I played cards?â Grandma Tao muttered.
Shen Jing said, âDonât be too smug. You only won two rounds. I wonât let you win the rest.â
âMom, youâve already said that once,â Zhuang Liu chuckled.
The game continued. In the end, Zhuang Liu won two-thirds of the money, which meant that he was the winner tonight. Tan Rou, who was the only one who bet on him, naturally received a lot of red packets.
âThank you for the red packets!â Tan Rou clicked her tongue.
