Chapter 619 A Layman
Li Yong introduces himself, “My name is Yong.”
“My name is Alice & Maple Leaf Love.”
“Oh my! Your name is so long.” Li Yong lets out an exaggerating shriek.
“Then you can call me Maple Leaf Love.”
“Why not Alice?”
“Because Alice is my mother’s name.”
“Okay, Maple Leaf Love, I think God must have arranged for us to meet here today. And I am happy to meet you.” Li Yong begins to confess his feelings naturally and unpretentiously.
Maple Leaf Love asks with a smile, “Having lost all my money, I was going to walk back home. It might take me a night to walk from here to my home! I was going to punish myself. But, do you know why I asked you for money?”
Li Yong asks in a very cooperative manner, “Why?”
“Because I find a charming smell on you. And I especially like this smell.”
Li Yong raises his arm, puts it in front of his nose, and smells it, only to find that there is no smell at all!
He says happily, “I also smelled a particularly charming smell on you. We are the same.”
“Is that so? What a destiny!” Maple Leaf Love smiles innocently and purely like a sunny flower.
They two walk shoulder to shoulder into the casino, joking and laughing along the way. Soon, they are inside the casino.
A staff member with a bright smile does the introduction to them, saying that the casino on the seventh floor is a general one, whose entry requires at least two thousand redeemed chips. The entry for the one on the eighth floor requires at least 20,000 dollars in chips. And the entry into the ninth floor requires at least 200,000 dollars in chips.
As for the tenth floor, only members can enter it. And they don’t entertain strangers.
Li Yong takes out his bank card, temporarily redeems one million dollars in chips, and takes Maple Leaf Love directly to the ninth floor.
“This is where I lost all my money just now.” Maple Leaf Love points to a big, exquisite, and round table, sighing.
“You have to win back your money where you lost it.” Li Yong takes her and strides over, making her sit on a chair that was vacated just now. Maple Leaf Love refuses and insists on asking Li Yong to take a seat.
In the end, Li Yong convinces Maple Leaf Love to sit down on the seat. While he stands behind her like a personal bodyguard.
Li Yong puts all the one million dollars’ chips on the table and says indifferently, “You can have fun as you like.”
“What if I lose?” Maple Leaf Love looks at Li Yong somewhat worriedly.
“If you lose, it will be on me. If you win, the money will be yours.” Li Yong smiles indifferently. Their exchange attracts some people around. They can understand Maple Leaf Love’s words. However, as for what Li Yong said, they can’t understand it at all.
If it weren’t for the fact that Maple Leaf Love is wearing a translator transcoder helping translate between the language of M Country and Huaxia language in her ear, she wouldn’t have been able to communicate with Li Yong.
Maple Leaf Love says with a smile, “You are so nice to me. If only I had a boyfriend like you.” Then she pushed a thousand dollars in chips up. At this table, the starting point is a thousand dollars in chips.
Li Yong says cheerfully, “It’s too little. Go up to one hundred thousand dollars.”
Maple Leaf Love takes another look at Li Yong and feels that he is getting more and more charming and handsome. She hesitates only for a moment and bets on one hundred thousand dollars in chips. Anyway, it is all Li Yong’s money. If Li Yong wants her to gamble with a million dollars, she will do as he says.
“One hundred thousand dollars.” Seeing these two young people start gambling heavily as soon as they come up, the surrounding gamblers once again look at them. These people bet with at most only 10,000 dollars to 20,000 dollars. Li Yong bets with 100,000 dollars, immediately overshadowing all of them.
They watch on the side cheerfully with sympathy in their eyes as if they know that Li Yong will lose.
In the end, Li Yong loses, which is as they expected.
One hundred thousand dollars are all at once collected by the dealer. Maple Leaf Love stares at those chips and sighs repeatedly.
Then here comes the next round. Maple Leaf Love again pushes up a thousand dollars in chips for fear of losing. She can’t bear to bet with too much money. If it were her money, she wouldn’t care. But it is all Li Yong’s money. She and Li Yong met each other just now. Except for their looks, they know nothing about each other. She feels so embarrassed about making him lose that much money.
But Li Yong laughs again, “One hundred thousand dollars. We must at least bet with one hundred thousand dollars.”
Maple Leaf Love lightly smiles and advises him, “With such a huge bet, we will soon lose it all. We can slowly lose it.”
Her words draw a burst of laughter from the surrounding gamblers. No gamblers dare to say that they will lose it all when they first start gambling. By coming here, they are either fascinated or want to win some money.
If they knew they would surely lose, they wouldn’t have come here. No one coming here to gamble doesn’t want to win money.
Li Yong faintly asks rhetorically, which is the mentality of many gamblers, “What if we win?”
Maple Leaf Love ponders on it. They have lost more than two million dollars in a row. So the chances of winning this time should be higher. She firmly believes that no one will be unlucky all the time, which is the same as no one can win all the time.
So, she pushes up another 100,000 dollars in chips. Feeling that those chips are heavy at first, she feels relaxed after pushing them up. It’s like fishing. To catch a big fish, you have to refill the bait.
The second round soon begins.
A round of cards is dealt. And as a result, they lost again.
In the third round, they still bet $100,000. Finally, they still lose.
After losing $300,000 in a row, Maple Leaf Love feels so embarrassed. So she gets up and says, “Yong, you will do it.”
Li Yong shakes his head, rests his hand on Maple Leaf Love’s shoulder, and gently presses her down, saying, “Don’t be nervous. Don’t worry. It doesn’t matter if you lose it all. We are just gambling for fun. It’s not good to be too serious about gains and losses.”
Maple Leaf Love can’t agree with his words more. Just now, it is because she was so nervous and torn that she lost three times in a row. Next, she takes a few deep breaths and starts to calm down.
After ten minutes, she loses several rounds in a row until she is left with only 100,000 dollars in chips.
Finally, she grits her teeth and pushes all 100,000 dollars in chips up, thinking to herself, “As for whether it is victory or defeat, it is all at this stake.”
Li Yong, on the other hand, reaches out to take back a thousand dollars in chips and smiles lightly, “Keep it as a souvenir.”
“How about this? Let’s not bet!” Maple Leaf Love doesn’t want to lose all of Li Yong’s money.
“Why not? At least, we have to win back your two million dollars.” Li Yong laughs cheerfully.
“But not only can’t I win it back but also I lost another nine hundred thousand dollars.” Maple Leaf Love sighs.
“It doesn’t matter. Go on. I’ll exchange another million dollars of chips for you when you lose it all, as long as you’re having fun.” Li Yong is smiling. He doesn’t even care about his money. Instead, Maple Leaf Love is distressed for his money.
“No. Once we lose it all, we’ll go. This is the last round.” Maple Leaf Love says seriously, “We are not in good luck today. Maybe we can win another day. We’ll come back another day.”
After saying that, she starts to ask for cards again.
“What a bad luck!” After a few cards are dealt with her, Maple Leaf Love flicks her fingers and starts to struggle again. She turns her head to look at Li Yong and asks, “Yong, do you think we should ask for more cards?”
Li Yong stares at her, opening his eyes wide, “What cards do you want?”
He tried it just now. He can see through the playing cards and see what cards on the other side are with his clairvoyant vision. If Maple Leaf Love tells him what cards she wants, he can see what next in the dealer is to see if it is what she wants and give her a heads up in advance.
“It’s not about what cards I want. In your opinion, do we need to ask for more cards with the cards in our hands like this?” Maple Leaf Love suddenly finds that it seems difficult for her to make Li Yong understand her words.
Doesn’t Li Yong understand the rules of the game in these casinos? She is so puzzled.
“Take it or leave it.” Li Yong smiles lightly.
“Holy sh*t! Yong, you are ignorant of the rules, aren’t you?” Maple Leaf Love originally thought that Li Yong was a gambler like her. Standing behind her all the time, he doesn’t say a word as if he were unfathomable. Unexpectedly, he knows nothing at all.
No wonder that when she let Li Yong sit down to gamble just now, Li Yong kept refusing and insisted on not sitting down despite what she said.
“What is this that you are playing?” Li Yong is ignorant of what they are gambling. Despite watching on the side for a long time, he still can’t understand the tricks in it. He feels that the game of gambling is too complicated. With a few decks of cards, it is surprising that there are so many tricks in it.
“Blackjack!” Maple Leaf Love hopes that she can enlighten Li Yong about the rules right away. But the dealer asks her again if she wants a card.
In the end, she asks for one. Taking a look at it in her hands, she is so angry that she throws it out directly.
Just like that, she loses again, losing one million dollars in total. Watching the dealer take the chips away, she wants to grab them back.
“Yong, I lost it all.” Maple Leaf Love is having a hard time in her heart, thinking that she has never been so bad luck.
In the past, she used to use 10,000 dollars in chips and win a million dollars here, with which she went running a cosmetics company. After she made money, she came to gamble here, intending to earn another round again.
However, since that time, she has always been losing. Never has she won a single time.
Not to mention earning some money, she almost loses all the profits she makes with her company.
Luckily, she can barely restrain herself. Otherwise, she would have lost the company as well.
“There are still a thousand dollars left.” Li Yong raises the one thousand dollars of chips in his hands and smiles cheerfully.
Maple Leaf Love says solemnly, “I’m so sorry. We met by chance. And I lost a million dollars of yours the first time. Tell me your bank account number. After I earn money, I’ll pay you back.” She doesn’t want to owe a stranger.
“Payback my money? No need. Later, I’ll win back all that you lost.”
“Yong, you don’t even know how to gamble. How can you win?” Maple Leaf Love thinks that Li Yong is so funny.
“I don’t know blackjack. But I know something else!” As Li Yong speaks, he takes Maple Leaf Love to stroll around the lobby in the casino, intending to find one game to try their luck. But as far as he can see, he understands none of the games.
In the past, he played poker and mahjong with his classmates. But what they played in Huaxia is not the same as those in this casino. Glancing around, Li Yong is at a loss.
Maple Leaf Love points to a large round table and asks, “Yong, do you understand this? Texas Hold’em.”
Li Yong shakes his head and continues to walk forward.
Maple Leaf Love asks again, “Do you know Baccarat and Raku?” Seeing Li Yong shake his head again, she exclaims, “Oh my God. You don’t know such a simple one. So what else can you bet on? You seem to be a layman. Don’t you know anything at all?”
