Chapter 249 - Unlucky Aura

Yang Ruoxi suddenly became eloquent, and with a mix of soft pleading and hard bargaining, she eventually managed to persuade Li Han and Wu Kexin.

However, Li Han and Wu Kexin had a condition, which was to turn off the lights in the room and play by candlelight.

Perhaps they felt that the dim candlelight would be less embarrassing to play in.

Chen Yang didn’t even think about it before agreeing to such a request.

After all, his eyesight was somewhat magical, the lighting didn’t matter to him, much less playing by candlelight.

“Alright, wait a moment and I’ll light the candles.”

Chen Yang excitedly got out of bed and swiftly lit several candles around the bed.

He also turned off the lights in the room.

After the lights were off, the whole room was illuminated only by the weak flames that barely allowed them to see each other’s faces, and the cards as well.

After getting everything ready, Chen Yang hurried back to the bed.

He rubbed his hands together impatiently, “Shall we start?”

The three girls looked at each other and then nodded in unison, “You deal the cards!”

“Alright!

Let’s begin then!”

Chen Yang couldn’t hide his smirk.

While dealing the cards, he couldn’t help but sneak peeks at the three girls.

They were wearing very little, just one or two articles of clothing each.

If he just won a few rounds, he would be able to feast his eyes.

Thinking about this, his throat unconsciously became dry.

After swallowing saliva a few times, he stopped letting his thoughts wander.

“Let’s get one thing straight, we’re playing Runner, the last one to finish their cards loses.”

Chen Yang dealt the cards and clarified the rules.

The three girls looked at each other again and nodded in agreement.

“Okay!”

Chen Yang sensed something was off as soon as he saw their united front.

Were these three scheming to make him lose?

Although Chen Yang thought this, he didn’t say anything more.

It would be best to win, but if he lost, so be it.

After all, being seen as a man wasn’t the worst thing.

With this mindset, the first round began.

Chen Yang was initially full of confidence, but as soon as he picked up his cards, his face fell.

“What kind of terrible hand is this?

Why are there just a bunch of small pairs and not a single face card?”

Chen Yang’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Hahaha, that’s just bad luck.”

Yang Ruoxi laughed heartily, her face full of triumph.

Chen Yang looked at her, “You guys didn’t cheat while I was lighting the candles, did you?”

“How could we!”

Yang Ruoxi immediately countered, “It only took you a moment to light the candles, and didn’t you shuffle the cards when you got back?

How could we have cheated!”

“Yeah, don’t blame us for your bad luck!

No way!”

“That’s right!

No way!”

Li Han and Wu Kexin saw that Chen Yang had a terrible hand and were immediately energized.

They were all keen not to let Chen Yang back out.

Chen Yang then remembered that he had shuffled the cards casually when he came back.

So, this terrible hand was entirely down to his own bad luck.

“Okay, my bad for suspecting you guys.”

Chen Yang smacked his lips, somewhat resigned.

“Haha, then I’ll play first, I’ve got the three of spades!” Yang Ruoxi announced with a laugh and quickly made her move.

The first round, and it was Chen Yang who had the worst hand.

He had nothing but low singles, as well as many small pairs.

With such a hand, there was no chance of making any plays.

So it wasn’t long before the three girls had finished.

He was left with a whole bunch of cards in hand.

“Yay!

Chen Yang, you lost!

Hurry up and strip!

Take it off!”

Yang Ruoxi was very excited as she high-fived Li Han and Wu Kexin, then immediately urged Chen Yang to strip.

“Hahaha, Chen Yang, don’t tell me you can’t handle this!”

“You’re the one who made up the rules!

Hurry up and take off your clothes!”

Wu Kexin and Li Han also laughed triumphantly on the side.

“Hmph.”

Chen Yang let out a disdainful snort, “Strip?

I’m not afraid.

Don’t be too proud just yet.

It’ll be your turn to strip soon!”

With that, Chen Yang quickly took off his shirt.

He revealed his bronze skin and the well-defined muscles of his six-pack.

Seeing Chen Yang’s nearly perfect figure, the three girls were all briefly stunned.

Their hearts thumped wildly, a feeling of being smitten.

Such a physique would surely make anyone swoon.

“How about that, my muscles are pretty impressive, aren’t they!”

Noticing the girls’ dazed looks, Chen Yang actually started to get a bit angry.

He even flexed his biceps and bent his arms, showing off his thick muscles and displaying all of his impressive arm strength.

All three girls rolled their eyes at him, then blurted out in unison, “Narcissist.”

After uttering that word, they hurried Chen Yang to deal the cards.

“Alright!

The second round starts!”

Chen Yang stopped showing off his muscles, gathered all the cards together, shuffled them properly, and dealt them out.

In the second round, Chen Yang’s hand was a little better than before.

He had a few honor cards.

But still, such a hand left Chen Yang feeling quite desperate.

With those cards, the odds of winning were very slim.

Now all he could do was pray that one of the girls had a worse hand than his.

That way, he wouldn’t be the one stripping.

Chen Yang prayed inwardly while playing his hand.

However, as it turned out, his prayers were futile.

The girls all had better cards, and there was some subtle coordination among them.

So, in this round, Chen Yang lost again.

“Hahaha, serves you right for being so cheeky!

Now you reap what you sow!”

Seeing Chen Yang lose the second round, Yang Ruoxi laughed gleefully.

Wu Kexin and Li Han were also giggling uncontrollably, excited to see Chen Yang strip further.

Chen Yang felt really indignant inside.

Why was his luck so bad?

“Don’t be so pleased with yourselves; we can keep going!”

Chen Yang gritted his teeth and took off his pants as well.

At this point, he was down to just a pair of briefs.

Seeing Chen Yang remove his pants, the three girls instinctively screamed, then covered their eyes, not wanting to see more of Chen Yang.

Chen Yang teased, “What’s wrong?

I’m brave enough to strip, and you’re scared to look?

I’m not naked, after all.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoxi immediately uncovered her eyes.

“Who says I’m afraid to look!”

Yang Ruoxi puffed up in defiance and then unconsciously looked downwards.

Seeing that Chen Yang was still wearing briefs, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it wasn’t completely naked, it was fine.

After all, she had seen him like this at the swimming pool before.

At this time, Li Han and Wu Kexin also opened their eyes.

After taking a few more glances, they felt at ease as well.

“Are we continuing?

Chen Yang, you don’t have anymore clothes left to strip.”

Li Han asked.

Chen Yang nodded resolutely, “Of course we’re continuing.

I still have a pair of briefs, don’t I?”

Chen Yang tugged at his briefs as he spoke.

The three girls were somewhat speechless, thinking that Chen Yang was ready to burn bridges to win.

However, the victories in the first two rounds had given them confidence.

So when Chen Yang said they would continue, none of the girls objected.
