Chapter 636: Old Maid

The way to play old main is to remove the big joker, leaving only the small joker behind in the remaining 53 cards. We would then draw cards from the players before us in a clockwise direction, discarding pairs of cards until one person is left holding the small joker.

It is easy to learn and winning or losing depends mainly on luck. The skills can be improved by as much as as 50% depending on the information you give away on your face.

In order to make it more interesting, Winnie suggested that the loser should let everyone else flick their forehead.

Then Gong CaiCai lost again.

Because Gong CaiCais expressions were too obvious!

Every time she pulled the joker, she immediately looked very sad and discouraged. As the player after her, as soon as my finger touched the joker in her hand, she immediately showed a complicated look like she wanted me to draw it away, but felt sorry for me.

The player before her, Winnie, also often shows her emotions on her face. But today she purposely played with the dog while holding out the cards in her other hand for Gong CaiCai to draw, that way she doesnt let Gong CaiCai see her emotions.

Thats why Gong CaiCai wasnt able to get rid of the joker card once she drew it.

I felt bad, so I deliberately judged which card was the joker by her expression and then drew it. Gong CaiCai immediately looked relieved and looked at me with sorry but grateful eyes.

Then my joker was immediately drawn by Xiao Qin.

Xiao Qin also knew that I drew the joker based on Gong CaiCais expression, so in order to prevent me from being flicked, she immediately drew the joker into her own hand.

Next, she deliberately placed the joker in a prominent position and gestured with her eyes for Winnie to draw the joker.

Winnie was doing everything she can to beg for Xiao Qins forgiveness, so in order to please Xiao Qin, she would take the joker away every time. Anyway, with Gong CaiCais bad luck, it would immediately fall right back into her hands.

Thats why in the end, Gong CaiCai still lost.

Alright, lift up your hair, show your forehead and let me flick you. Xiao Qin was eager to do it first.

Winnie shrugged like her hands were tied. Since we all played the game, then we he had to abide by the rules of the game.

Gong CaiCai had to lift up her naturally curly hair to reveal her bare forehead. At the same time, she fearfully closed her eyes in a pitiful manner.

Pop, Xiao Qin flicked pretty hard with the hatred she had towards large b.r.e.a.s.t.s. Gong CaiCai covered her red forehead and screamed.

She s.h.i.+vered for a while and then showed her forehead to Winnie, ready to receive the next punishment.

Winnie wasnt planning on using a lot of strength, but maybe it was because she has been in contact with me and Xiao Qin for too much and she used our steel bones as a comparison. She instantly had a look of regret once her finer touched Gong CaiCais forehead.

Ah, it was too hard!

Gong CaiCais upper body seemed to have been repelled back by Winnies flick. Winnie quickly supported her and apologized:

I didnt do it on purpose, really!

Gong CaiCai turned to face me with tears in her eyes. She lifted up the hair covering her forehead and prepared herself to receive the punishment from me.

Right as I raised my arm hesitantly, Gong CaiCai shut her eyes tightly as if I was pointing a gun at her instead of my finger.

Im not sure how the n.a.z.is were able to slaughter both women and children in the concentration camps, but I couldnt bear to hit a weakling like Gong CaiCai.

Thus I only symbolically brushed my fingertip past her head, you could even say I didnt even touch her body.

Its good I learned Yin Yang Sanshou. My past self was even worse at controlling strength than Winnie, so Gong CaiCai would have suffered even more.

Gong CaiCai kept her eyes closed for a while before she realized I was done and she opened her eyes in disbelief.

Still maintaining the posture with both hands holding up her hair, she timidly thanked me, Ye Lin cla.s.smate is very kind

Xiao Qin pouted, then proposed we should start another match.

Winnie purposely let Gong CaiCai off easy by keeping the joker in her hands. She tossed the joker happily when she lost and beckoned to everyone:

Come on, lets all flick the losers head. Lets see if your fingers are harder than my head.

Winnie, who did not have long bangs, did not need to lift her hair up as a part of her forehead was already revealed.

Xiao Qin was still annoyed at Winnie for pus.h.i.+ng me down and angry at Winnie for deliberately losing to Gong CaiCai, so she flicked her very hard.

Winnie didnt even flinch. Not only did she not yell, she even looked quite refreshed.

But this does not mean Winnie is a M like Eunuch Cao, it just means she would rather Xiao Qin hit her than ignore her.

Flicking the head was the rule Winnie herself set, so I did not hold back and flicked her with a normal amount of strength.

Lets continue! Winnie heroically shouted.

At this point, Gong CaiCai said quietly: Im good. My mom said its not good to hit other people

Thats not right. Winnie slapped her knees, Not accepting a punishment when you lose a card game is about as unreasonable as not dying when your HP falls to 0. What are you going to do if I cant fall asleep tonight because you didnt flick my forehead?

Obama then took advantage of the situation and began barking from behind Winnie, which made Gong CaiCai cower in fear.

Gong CaiCai had no other choice: Then, Ill let Ye Lin cla.s.smate flick for me

She even turned around to look at me and say: Then Ill leave it to you

I pulled my finger back and flicked both Winnie and the barking Obama on the head.

Winnie was a real man. She took my attack head on without any fear.

Obama, as a male dog, tucked his tail between his legs and whimpered like he was wronged.

At the same time, the cla.s.s leader came back and saw me flicking the dogs head, so she said angrily: You youre the same as Xiao Zhe. You like to bully animals when Im not watching.

I pointed at the three girls and said: Hey, cla.s.s leader, dont wrongly accuse others without evidence. I only educated Obama because he kept barking at Gong CaiCai.

The cla.s.s leader sent a questioning gaze at Obama. It might be because there were too many witnesses, but Obama lowered his head in shame.

Although Obama already admitted his crimes, the cla.s.s leader still said to me with dissatisfaction: Its a small dog, if hes wrong, you can just scold him verbally.

How is Obama small? Also, would it even understand what you say?

The cla.s.s leader didnt reply, but picked up one of Obamas front paws and asked lovingly: Xiao Ba, do you want to use the washroom?

Obama shook his head.

My opinion is that Obama is an alien.

Good boy. The cla.s.s leader took out a stick of beef jerky from behind her back and fed it to Obama. It was dog food the cla.s.s leader purposely kept in her bag. Not sure why she would bring it on a camping trip, maybe it was in case she meets a dog on the way?

It seems like Geng YuHong brought a group of girls to deal with Cao JingShen. The cla.s.s leader said with a sigh after petting Obamas back, I think Xu LiJun went to the Special Education Schools shop to buy beer, so I have to go deal with them. Please take care of Xiao Ba

Cla.s.s leader, cant you just bring the dog along with you? Winnie suggested, You can sic the dog on anyone who doesnt listen, how cool would that be.

The cla.s.s leader quieted down and considered it, but still ended up shaking her head.

The special education school prohibits pets on campus, so I cant break the rules.

I could understand why that rules exists. For disabled students, even an animal as small as a mouse can be dangerous. I mean, didnt Shu Zhe almost get his d.i.c.k bitten off by a mouse when he was a baby?

Anyway, Ill be back again to see if you need to use the washroom. The cla.s.s leader said to Obama like an older sister, If you want to use the washroom, but Im not back, then tell Ye Lin, okay?

Obama nodded.

I feel like if I cooked and ate Obama, I might be able to get into Peking University or Tsinghua University.

But old maid is pretty boring. Winnie complained while shuffling the deck, The loser would always be either me or Gong CaiCai, theres no challenge at all.

In fact, if Winnie didnt lose on purpose, Gong CaiCais head would have been flicked to death.

I got an idea. The cla.s.s leader said after looking at the dispirited Winnie, You guys can play s.h.i.+ritori while playing old maid. If the next player cant think of a four word idiom within ten seconds, then that player has to accept whatever card the previous player gives them.

It was obviously a suggestion that would benefit Gong CaiCai. I heard Loud Mouth say Gong CaiCai memorized the dictionary before to improve her language grades.

Gong CaiCai gratefully lowered her head to the cla.s.s leader. The cla.s.s leader was in a rush and left.

(TN: Im not going to translate the idioms as the meaning doesnt matter here. I also used the j.a.panese word s.h.i.+ritori because Im going to a.s.sume most people know what it is, its just a word connecting game)

It doesnt sound bad. Winnie started off the new game, Tian Xia Wu Di.

Its hard to follow with Di. I couldnt think of anything, so I looked at Gong CaiCai to see what she would do.

Xiao Qin maliciously began to count down: 10, 9

Di Zhong Wo Gua. Gong CaiCai replied with ease, then drew one of Winnies cards in a happier mood.

Gua Bu Di Zhong. I immediately followed up and randomly picked a card. The joker was already in my hand anyway.

Zhong Zhong Ren Jie Zui Wo Du Xing. Xiao Qin nervously answered.

It has to be four words. I reminded her.

Then Zhong, Zhong Jin Shu Yue Dui. Xiao Qin was nervous to the point she stammered.

Thats not even an idiom.

Xiao Qin cla.s.smate Gong CaiCai raised her hand like she was in cla.s.s and said, Actually you can simply shorten Zhong Ren Jie Zui Wo Du Xing to Zhong Zui Du Xing and it would count as an idiom

I dont need your help. Xiao Qin snorted at Gong CaiCai, Just count as if I couldnt answer. Ye Lin cla.s.smate, give me a card.

I did not hold back and directly gave the joker to Xiao Qin. She frowned a bit and used the same method she used before to give the joker to Winnie.

Because of the one-sided war between Xiao Qin and Winnie, I did not care about how Xiao Qin didnt comply with the rules. Winnie stuck the hand of cards that had the joker in front of Gong CaiCai and said another idiom.

Tian Xia Wu Di.

The same idiom again? How much do you like that saying? How would Gong CaiCai follow up.

But Gong CaiCai did not get stumped.

Di Kai Tong Chou. She said while drawing a card.

Based on Winnies expression, it was not the joker.
