Chapter 193 The Card Game
Ms. Leopard's Room
"Sis, Sun-young hasn't arrived yet?"
"Are we still playing Hanafuda?"
Li Yihua held Pearl in her arms, interacting with her while glancing at Ms. Leopard.
"Fight! Why not fight!" Ms. Leopard said resolutely, looking at the spread-out cloth and the arranged playing cards.
"How can two people fight?"
"We can't exactly fight Pearl, can we?"
Li Yihua said jokingly.
"Pearl, grow up soon so you can play Hanafuda with Auntie!"
"Aren't there still people in the alley?" Ms. Leopard said mysteriously.
"Who is it?" Li Yihua asked curiously.
"It's winter break now, and the one in our alley is pretty free," Ms. Leopard said, her gaze passing over the wall towards the giant salamander's house.

Hutong outside
Bora and Sunwoo walked together on the road.
Sunwoo looked at Bora and quietly took her hand.
"what are you doing!"
"We're still in the alley, what if someone sees us?"
Paula shook off his hand and said worriedly.
"Hey~ they won't see it," Sunwoo said, reaching out to put his arm around Bora's shoulder again.
But Bora suddenly took a step forward to avoid it, and Sunwoo, who was about to say something, suddenly heard Bora speak.
"Hey, it's so late. Didn't you eat enough? Still eating snacks?" Paula called out to Yu Hui and Zheng Feng, who were walking towards them.
Sunwoo then noticed the two people in the alley. He was somewhat relieved that he hadn't been seen, but also a little disappointed that they had interrupted him.
In the distance, the setting sun casts its glow upon the scene, and Zhengfeng holds a snack in his hand.
"Sunwoo-ge~!" Yu Hui heard his sister's voice, looked up from afar and saw the two of them, and greeted them.
"Oh, the afterglow~", Sunwoo replied with a somewhat forced smile.
Yu Hui followed Zheng Feng, who was intently unpacking snacks, towards them.
"Sunwoo, it's so late, what are you doing here?" Yu Hui approached and pointed at Bora and him.
"Um... I have something I wanted to say to my sister~", Sunwoo subconsciously touched his nose.
"Just the two of you?" Yu Hui smiled at him. "Is there anything I can't ask at home?"
"Oh~ it's about... studies. I just happened to run into you, sister..." Sunwoo stammered as Bora glanced at Yuhui.
"Hey, get the hell home now."
Yu Hui instantly stopped smiling, lowered his head respectfully, and dared not look Paula in the eye.
"What we do is none of your business."
"Don't meddle in adults' business, and get lost."
"knew?"
Paula glanced at him.
"Understood..." Yu Hui replied respectfully, his earlier joking expression, which had been trying to trick Shan Yu into revealing information, had completely vanished.
Just as Yu Hui was about to pull Zheng Feng away, Zheng Feng finally pulled a card out of the snack bag.
“Paula, do you have any coins?” Jung-bong asked, looking up at Paula.
Upon hearing Zhengfeng's question, Baola took something out of her pocket and handed it to him.
"Thanks," Zhengfeng said, taking the coin.
“No need,” Bora suddenly pulled Sunwoo’s arm. “Let’s go.”
Yu Hui was bumped by Paula and obediently dodged to the side.
After Paula walked away, Yu Hui's tense face suddenly broke into a smile.
"There's definitely something fishy going on between my older sister and Brother Sunwoo."
"Brother Zhengfeng, don't you think their words, actions, and even the way they left were all very strange...?"
Yu Hui, who was watching Paula's back as she spoke to Jung Bong, turned around and saw that Jung Bong didn't care what he was saying at all, but was just focused on scraping the coating off the card with a coin.
Yu Hui instantly stopped gossiping and was filled with another kind of curiosity.
"What is it?" Yu Hui asked, leaning closer.
As the coating diminishes, a comforting word appears on the card.
Zhengfeng looked at the words "There will be another chance next time" on the card and roared in frustration.
“Missed again!”
"Damn it!"
"It's okay, bro, I'll definitely win next time. Just a few more packs will do!"
Yu Hui looked at the frustrated Zheng Feng and comforted him.
"Just go buy another pack."
"It's not worth getting upset over such a trivial matter."
Zhengfeng looked at Yu Hui, who was comforting him, and his lips twitched slightly...
........
"Brother, how many packets did you eat?"
In Zhengfeng's room, as he opened the drawer, Yu Hui looked at the thick stack of cards inside and posed a soul-searching question.
“Two boxes…” Zhengfeng replied dejectedly, “I can’t win anything now.”
"I've never even won a 'buy one get one free' promotion."
"It's like, without me even realizing it, I've run out of luck..."
Zhengfeng was looking at the cards in the drawer when, just as he was feeling extremely aggrieved, Ms. Leopard opened the door.
"Zhengfeng, could you please take care of Pearl for a bit?" Ms. Leopard brought Pearl over.
"Okay, Mom, are you going out?" Zhengfeng smiled, opened his arms, and hugged Zhenzhu.
"I'm going to make money," Ms. Leopard said mysteriously, then turned and left.

Ms. Leopard's Room
Li Yihua skillfully shuffled and cut the cards.
"Today we'll see what our Dean of Students is all about."
"So, big sister, are you looking forward to it?"
Li Yihua smiled and handed the cards to Ms. Leopard.
"Oh, we're all acquaintances, what's there to expect?" Ms. Leopard spread out the cards and handed them to Li Yihua again.
"I heard that Donglong's dad is quite skilled at playing dominoes?" Ms. Leopard asked Donglong's father tentatively.
"Oh, no, no."
"I only played two games with the teachers back in school, haha~"
"I'm a complete newbie, a total newbie!"
Donglong's father, always "humble," looked at Ms. Leopard with a hearty laugh.
"Hahaha~~", Ms. Leopard and Li Yihua laughed along with him, but the two sisters laughed with a hint of amusement.
"So, let's make some money off the headmaster of Shuangmen High School today, shall we?"
"Yeah~"
Ms. Leopard raised an eyebrow at Li Yihua.
“Yes, haha~” Li Yihua laughed happily, “Then I’ll start with my cards.”
"Um, what does 'starting the game' mean?" Donglong's father asked again, 'humbly'.
"Hahaha, oh dear~ Big sister, we actually played cards with a novice, it's really not a fair fight to win," Li Yihua said, already certain from Donglong's father's modesty that they were going to secure victory today.
“Losing is also a way of learning,” Ms. Leopard and Li Yihua said in unison.
"In that case, I'll just do whatever I want, but you guys have to go easy on me~", Donglong's father still looked like a complete novice.
In a relaxed atmosphere, the three of them gradually got into the fun.
While the two sisters were busy laughing, Donglong's father, who was holding the cards in front of him, slightly smirked and revealed a mysterious smile.
