Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Mei Shu already had two Kings and an Ace with a value of one in her hand, yet she still reached out for another card. Li Zhen quickly grabbed her wrist.

“You already have twenty-one points, why do you still want to draw another card?”

Mei Shu shook the cards in her hand, saying, “But your good friend Zhao Ping told me that a King represents one point!”

Li Zhen’s eyes darkened in an instant.

He had suspected why Zhao Ping suddenly changed the rules of revealing cards. In the past, everyone would just lay their cards open for all to see. Now he realized that this guy was up to no good!

Li Zhen gave a cold snort and firmly held Mei Shu’s cards, preventing her from moving them recklessly. “Your score is enough, don’t listen to him. You already have twenty-one points.”

Mei Shu raised her eyebrows, “I thought you would help your buddies and cheat with him.”

In fact, she had noticed the problem since the end of the last round, and this time she didn’t actually intend to ask the banker for another card. She just wanted to test Li Zhen.

She just didn’t expect this person to still have a conscience.

Li Zhen let go of her hand, avoiding her gaze unnaturally. “Don’t misunderstand, I’m not helping you. I just think it’s a waste of wine for someone who can’t drink like you, yet you insist on binge drinking.”

Mei Shu remained silent. This time, unsurprisingly, she won the game, and Li Zhen became the one who had the fewest points.

When the dealer announced the results, Zhao Ping suddenly looked over here, his eyes filled with disbelief. “Ah Zhen, I want to switch seats with you. Would you mind?”

The smell of gunpowder instantly permeated around the table.

Mei Shu smiled, “You can change seats, 1 can sit with anyone.”

Li Zhen glared at her with some annoyance, “No change, this seat is lucky. If 1 move, 1 might continue losing next time.”

Zhao Ping smiled coldly, raised his hand to fill his glass with wine, “Then you drink first, after that we’ll start another round.”

Kang Wei, seeing something was wrong, took the initiative to speak up to ease the tension, “Oh, I don’t feel like playing this anymore. How about we play a different game? How about Truth or Dare?”

Li Zhen picked up his glass and finished it in one gulp. As he put it down, it made a light sound on the table edge. “No, let’s just play this. I want to win back.”

“Alt Zhen!” Kang Wei called him in a low voice, desperately making eye contact with him.

Li Zhen turned a blind eye and ordered the waiter to continue dealing the cards.

Knowing the real rules of the game, Mei Shu’s luck was still good. This round she didn’t lose again, and Zhao Ping ended up being the one who had to drink.

Li Zhen sneered sarcastically, “Fortunes change. Today I specifically asked for the best red wine from the bartender. Drink up.”

Zhao Ping pushed aside his wine glass, stood up, and walked to the middle of Mei Shu and Li Zhen, implying something as he spoke, “Ah Zhen, we’ve grown up together since childhood. You should be well aware of my character.”

Li Zhen said, “Are you learning to be as tricky as Kang Wei?”

Kang Wei, on the opposite side, shouted indignantly, “Hey, what’s it got to do with me?”

Ignoring him, Li Zhen gestured with his mouth for Kang Wei to drink the full glass beside him. “Let’s abide by the rules. After you finish drinking, we can talk.”

“Okay.” 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝗲𝖜𝗲𝗯𝐧𝐨𝖛𝗲𝐥.𝖈𝐨𝖒

Zhao Ping looked at him deeply, lifted his glass and drank it all in one go, his eyes suddenly becoming somewhat unfocused. “Now I ask you, what exactly is your relationship with your classmate?”

“No other relationship,” Li Zhen replied expressionlessly.

Zhao Ping nodded, then unexpectedly reached out and hugged Mei Shu’s shoulder abruptly. “What if 1 insist on taking her away tonight?”

“You’re drunk,” Li Zhen frowned, his eyes fixed on Zhao Ping’s hand on Mei Shu’s shoulder.

“I’m not!” Zhao Ping, emboldened by alcohol, became more reckless in his speech. “We’re all brothers here. If you fancy her, just say it. I won’t lay a finger on her. If you’re not interested, don’t ruin my chance! 1 must take her to a hotel tonight!”

“Zhao Ping!” Li Zhen stood up abruptly, their distance suddenly narrowed. “Don’t court death! She’s not someone you can touch.”

While the two were talking, Mei Shu had already shaken off Zhao Ping’s hand and sat firmly in her seat. Her expression darkened slightly. “Zhao Ping, I can overlook what you just said because of Li Zhen’s face. But if you continue to act crazy because of alcohol, 1 can’t guarantee that you’ll still have your status as the young master Zhao in the city.”

“You’re damn arrogant! Huh?” Impatiently, Zhao Ping pushed Li Zhen away and pointed his finger at Mei Shu’s nose. “Today, I want to see how you make me disappear from this city!”

“Alt, alright, alright, everyone’s here to have fun, let’s not make it unpleasant.”

Kang Wei was used to being the peacemaker, afraid that they might start arguing. He quickly stepped in between, trying to mediate, “Young Master Zhao, come on, let’s sit down and continue playing cards. Maybe you’ll win the next round. I don’t think All Shu is drunk yet. Don’t rush it..”
