Chapter 248 - Reverse Psychology

“You…

how did you get here so fast?”

Yang Ruoxi asked, her face full of astonishment.

Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh, “My body is strong, so naturally I run fast.”

Having said that, Chen Yang tossed his hoe into the storeroom and took off his raincoat.

He then prepared to continue cooking in the kitchen.

But at that moment, he discovered that the vegetables he had chopped were already stir-fried and served on the table.

Looking at the steaming dishes on the table, Chen Yang was quite surprised.

“Did you guys make this?”

Chen Yang asked the three women.

Seeing the surprised expression on Chen Yang’s face, the three women immediately perked up.

“Of course, who else would it be?”

Yang Ruoxi said pridefully.

Chen Yang smiled and praised the three women.

He then sat down at the table and began to eat.

They had played all afternoon, and it had been busy ever since they came back.

Chen Yang was very tired and hungry.

He just wanted to fill his stomach quickly.

The three women felt the same way.

The four of them sat around the table, happily eating dinner and drinking beverages.

Outside, the rain continued to pour heavily, with occasional loud thunder.

After they finished their dinner, the sky outside had completely darkened.

Normally, after eating, Chen Yang would have gone back to his small room to get ready for bed.

But because of the loud thunder outside, the three women were very scared.

So they asked Chen Yang to stay.

Hearing this request, Chen Yang naturally couldn’t refuse.

“Okay, since you’re afraid, I’ll stay and keep you company today,” Chen Yang said righteously.

If it had been any other time, Yang Ruoxi would have certainly teased Chen Yang for taking advantage of the situation.

But hearing the thunder roaring outside,

she halted mid-sentence and drew back, afraid Chen Yang wouldn’t stay.

Chen Yang’s room had only one bed.

So if Chen Yang stayed, he would have to share the bed with the three women.

Fortunately, Chen Yang’s bed was big enough to fit four people, though it was a bit cramped.

“You guys sleep on the inside, I’ll sleep on the outside,”

Chen Yang said, pointing at the bed.

“Mmm-hmm.”

The three women nodded repeatedly, then quickly got onto the bed and squeezed to the inside.

Chen Yang was the last one to get in bed.

After getting in bed, the four didn’t immediately lie down to sleep.

Instead, each person sat in a corner, looking at each other.

It was somewhat boring, but they didn’t know what else to do.

After a long silence, Chen Yang suddenly proposed, “Since we can’t sleep, why don’t we play cards like last time?”

Upon hearing this suggestion, Li Han and Yang Ruoxi immediately rolled their eyes.

They remembered playing cards and drinking at Chen Yang’s house last time.

The next morning, they all woke up hugging Chen Yang…

“No way, playing cards is so boring, and there are no stakes,”

Yang Ruoxi said.

“So, what should we do now?

Just go to sleep?” Chen Yang asked, looking at Yang Ruoxi.

Yang Ruoxi pursed her lips, “Hmph, anything is fine, just not cards!”

Chen Yang really wanted to play cards.

But seeing how adamant Yang Ruoxi was, he didn’t insist.

“Then I have no idea what to do!”

Chen Yang shrugged helplessly.

“Hmm…”

Seeing that Chen Yang also didn’t know what to do, Li Han also started to feel a bit bored.

So she looked at Yang Ruoxi, “Ruoxi, it’s indeed so boring late at night, how about we play some cards?”

After saying that, she turned to Wu Kexin, “Kexin, what do you think?”

Wu Kexin nodded directly, “I have no objections, playing cards is good.”

Seeing that Li Han and Wu Kexin had no objections, Yang Ruoxi could only agree.

“Hmm…

okay then, let’s play cards, but what should we play?

Money?”

Yang Ruoxi said.

When it was agreed to play cards, Chen Yang immediately got excited.

“Playing for money?

That’s too boring, and besides, I’m not as rich as the three of you, I can’t afford it.”

Chen Yang shrugged, putting on a poor man’s act.

Upon hearing this, the three women rolled their eyes.

If Chen Yang had said he was poor before, they might have believed him.

But claiming to be poor now, the three women didn’t believe him at all.

The greenhouse outside was making Chen Yang tens of thousands a day, there’s no way he didn’t have money for a card game.

“Humph, just pretend, you’re probably the richest among us,” Yang Ruoxi huffed lightly.

“Exactly, I still owe you over seventy thousand, if I didn’t have money, I could use that to settle the debt,”

Li Han said with a laugh.

As soon as Li Han mentioned the debt she owed him, Chen Yang’s face immediately drooped.

He had wanted to add some excitement, but seeing that he couldn’t hide his wealth, he had no choice but to compromise.

“Alright, alright, since you want to play for money, then let’s play for money,”

Chen Yang waved his hand, saying indifferently.

“Then go get the cards,” Yang Ruoxi urged.

“Okay.”

Chen Yang nodded, then got out of bed, went to the drawer in the cabinet, took out the cards from the last game, and returned to bed.

“What should we play, and how big, it’s up to you,”

Chen Yang said nonchalantly while shuffling the cards.

Playing cards for money made Chen Yang lose interest.

The three women saw Chen Yang’s lackluster demeanor and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Look at you.

If you don’t want to play for money, just say it, why the lack of energy?”

Yang Ruoxi chuckled, covering her mouth.

“Playing for money is so boring, I wanted something thrilling.

But I’m afraid you wouldn’t dare, better not mention it,”

Chen Yang finished shuffling the cards and still looked helpless.

As soon as Chen Yang said that they wouldn’t dare, Yang Ruoxi’s competitive spirit came out immediately.

She puffed out her chest, pretentiously saying, “Who wouldn’t dare!

I dare to do anything.”

“Really?”

Chen Yang’s expression shifted, a hint of scheming in his look.

Yang Ruoxi, who had just looked very confident, noticed Chen Yang’s sly expression and suddenly felt a bit unsure.

However, she still nodded, “Of course it’s true…”

“Good!

That settles it.”

Chen Yang slapped his thigh and hurriedly said, “How about we play strip poker?

Lose a hand, remove an article of clothing!”

“What!?”

The three women’s faces showed surprise.

“How about it?

Do you dare?”

Chen Yang wore a smug look, trying to provoke the three women with reverse psychology.

But the three women were not falling for that trick, especially Li Han, who immediately shook her head.

“This is too much!

I’m not playing.”

Chen Yang looked at Li Han and then immediately turned to Yang Ruoxi, boasting, “See, I told you you wouldn’t dare, so let’s just play for money.”

After speaking, Chen Yang shook his head, displaying a somewhat disdainful expression.

Yang Ruoxi was quite hesitant initially.

Provoked by Chen Yang like that, her competitive nature just couldn’t hold back.

“Who said we wouldn’t dare!

We dare, don’t underestimate us!”

Yang Ruoxi quickly retorted, then turned her head to persuade Li Han and Wu Kexin.

“Sis… Kexin sis… just play!

We’ve let this pervert take advantage of us during swimming anyway, what’s there not to dare!”

“Besides, the three of us together will definitely beat him!

Let him strip first for us to see!”
