Chapter 700: Youth. Love

The elevator finally arrived, and the movers rushed out with the sofa, also apologizing to them. 。The space opened up, and Zhuo Yu moved aside first, eager to create some distance between them. Altho...After they finished eating, Lu Kuo was in charge of cleaning up. He had always been a spendthrift and threw all the uneaten snacks into the trash can without hesitation. Cheng Chen tried to stop him but couldn't. 。After tidying up, he magically pulled out two decks of cards from his bag, wanting to play Landlord's Fight. 。While shuffling the cards, he called out to Zhu Yúan: "What are you standing around for Come and sit down and play." 。Zhuo Yu'an looked around and said, "It's too sunny here, let's go play under the tree over there." 。Four people moved the mat to the shade of a tree. 。"How will you punish me if I lose" Cheng Chen asked, she was eager to teach Lu Kuo, the school dunce, a lesson. 。"Nose-picking, the winner gets to pick the loser's nose 10 times" 。"

" line 。"The least skilled person shouts the most joyfully." 。

Lu Kuo got a King and two bombs in his hand during the first round, so he directly claimed Landlord without looking at other players' cards. As expected, he was quickly eliminated by the other three players due to his poor hand. 。He was quite happy, his head held high, letting them wipe his nose. 。Cheng Chen didn't hold back, he went up and slapped his nose heavily 10 times. 。Tinglan also went up, but only scraped it. 。

"Still listen to Lan's gentleness" 。Lu Kuo rubbed his nose and leaned closer to Zhuo Yunan, taking the initiative to let him shave 。"Gross!" Zhuo Yunan wouldn't even touch his nose. 。Next time we played, Lan had good cards in her hand: a bomb, pairs, and a straight flush. She was on a roll with luck, so she also bid for the landlord. 。Lu Kuo originally wanted to win back a round and wash away the shame of his previous defeat, but he discovered that Zhuo Y uan next to him was also too weak. Whenever Ting Lan played a card, he never intercepted it. 。

But this time he really wronged Zhuo YUAN, Ting Lan's cards were too good, and Zhuo YUAN couldn't stop them. Besides, he liked seeing her proud and excited expression very much, why would he stop her 。Tinglan won, and in her excitement, she knelt half-way on the mat and reached out to gently rub her finger across the noses of all three of them. 。Zhuo Yu'an's nose tingled slightly, and when she reached out, his sense of smell and perception seemed to be activated all at once. Her palm seemed to have the faint scent of bread from just now, and also the aroma of ink from the playing cards. 。

The young man, who was about to turn eighteen, already had youthful vigor. When the girl he liked lightly touched his nose, his whole body felt a slight warmth, and his heart skipped a beat. However, he could only try his best to restrain himself, pretending to be nonchalant as he started the next round of cards. 。Regardless of whether the cards in his hand were good or bad, Zhuo Yu'an, who had never won the landlord before, this time didn't wait for others to speak. He took the initiative to grab it because he wanted to win once, just win her once. 。The cards in his hand were average, neither good nor bad, so this really tested his observation skills and calculating abilities. Once he got serious, there was no one else who could compete. 。Every card played is the result of careful consideration, a step-by-step plan, luring the enemy deeper. 。Lu Kuò had three 9s and two 6s, while Zhuó Yǔ'ān just barely beat him with three 10s and two 4s.

Lu Kuò was furious and yelled, "You said you weren't going to play earlier when Líng came out with three 5s and two 3s!"

Zhuó Yǔ'ān remained calm: "Well, I didn't see it earlier." >>> 。Lu Kuo rolled his eyes, clearly he didn't want to intercept her. It's fine 。Lu Kuò wasn't stupid either. In the following rounds, he deliberately didn't bid, letting Tíng Lán play her cards. Anyway, Zhuó Yǔ'ān wasn't stopping her, was he 。In the previous rounds, it was indeed like this. Tinglan played a good hand, Lu Kuo deliberately let her win, and Zhuo Yunan also deliberately let her win. 。Cheng Chen was a little confused about what they were doing, and she didn't >>> 。So Tinglan inexplicably played several cards. 。"Seven, no" she asked cautiously and nervously, a little excited inside because she only had one card left, an Ace. 。。Zhu Yu'an said, "What I want..." 。

Just throw a bomb right away 。"I... damn, are you sick" 。Lu Ku couldn't help but curse. 。What the heck, are you playing with me You're giving me false hope and then stopping me right at the finish line

I could practically taste victory, but then he swooped in and snatched it away. Even Tinglan couldn't help but glare at him angrily. 。He calmly replied: "I'm sorry" 。Then, he calmly started laying down his cards, brazenly spreading them face up on the table. 。Because of this round, he already knew what cards the other three people had in their hands. 。Lu Kuò and Ting Lán Chéng chén could only watch helplessly as his cards were laid out, without a single move to make. 。Finally, he had only one particularly infuriating 3 left in his hand. He threw it out and won. 。"You are good, you really are." 。“

He was also a good sport about it, and the other three just obediently closed their eyes and waited for him to tickle their noses.” 。Across from Zhuo Yu'an sat Ting Lan. She stared at him with her beautiful eyes, waiting for his punishment. Perhaps because of nervousness, her long eyelashes trembled slightly. 。Zuo Yu'an leaned over slightly. Although they were both kneeling on the grass mat, he was still a head taller than her, looking down at her with an air of superiority. Shadows enveloped her, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and her fair skin was flushed pink from the intensity of the midday sun. Her breathing was shallow >>> 。But falling on Zhu Youan's heart, it was like a heavy blow. Zhu Youan's fingertips trembled slightly, and he felt his breathing quicken. 。Actually, it was only two or three seconds. 。He reached out his hand to her nose, Tinglan suddenly closed her eyes, unable to meet his gaze. 。Zhuo Yu'an's hand gently scraped against her nose, a soft and delicate touch. 。He had learned to control his facial expressions, so even Lu Kuo couldn't tell how violently his heart was pounding, about to burst out of his chest. 。At the 6th time, his middle finger brushed unintentionally against her red lips. That unexpected softness made him suddenly feel dry-mouthed and itchy in his throat. 。The most primitive and instinctive desire in humans, is prevalent in teenagers, more specifically, the young man on the verge of adulthood. It rampaged within him, recklessly and brazenly, to the point where he dared not continue for a seventh, eighth time... His heart was fleeing in terror, his body turning towards Lu Kuo beside him, uncaring if it dirtied him, rubbing harshly against Lu Kuo's bridge of the nose twice. 。When it was Cheng Chen's turn, he drew a card and used the edge of the card to lightly scrape his nose, as if treating everyone equally. 。That restless and unsettled heart made him unable to look at Tinglan across from him any longer, nor dare to continue the game. He found an excuse to end it, stood up and walked away alone, not even bothering to say goodbye. 。After he entered high school, he had completely adapted to all the changes that came with physical development. But like just now, so sudden, like a wild beast running rampant in his body, this was the first time. He was afraid he couldn't handle it. 。So the rest of the afternoon, he tiptoed around Tinglan, not daring to even glance at her. 。To think such filthy thoughts of her is a desecration. 。So he kept avoiding her, even on the school bus, he chose to sit in the last row, far away from Tinglan at the front. 。Author's Note: I'm really sorry everyone, things have been crazy busy in the real world lately with the end of the year approaching. 。I will resume normal updates as soon as possible. 。 Yu an didn't answer her question. Just as he was about to ask her to drive him to the hotel, Shu Tinglan's phone rang. It was Liu Yi calling. The two children were resting at home today, so Liu Yi t...
