Chapter 111 My Childhood Sweetheart is the God of Gamblers

"Why are you blushing?"

Chen Xi noticed Zhao Lingshan's abnormality and mistakenly thought that she was excited because she won money.

"Nothing, the air conditioning here is too hot, let's go do something else."

Seeing that Chen Xi didn't notice anything wrong, Zhao Lingshan quickly changed the subject and took his hand to walk to another table.

"what is this?"

Zhao Lingshan stared at a unique table like a curious baby.

This table is obviously different from other game tables. There is a long pole next to it, with numbers on the pole constantly jumping, and there is a monitor next to it.

There was no shuffler on the table, but instead a small transparent box containing a deck of playing cards.

"One, ten, hundred, thousand..."

Zhao Lingshan carefully counted the numbers on the long screen above the pole. When she finished counting, she found that the amount was more than one million, and there were symbols of currency next to the numbers.

"The simplified version of Texas Hold'em is different from the Golden Flower. There are many versions. That one is the highest prize. If you get the Royal Flush, you can take the prize money directly..."

Seeing that Zhao Lingshan was very curious, Chen Xi patiently explained the rules of the game to her.

This kind of table is usually reserved by special customers. One person plays at several tables, and each table is filled with boxes and all bets are placed.

This kind of play is all about betting on the jackpot, and those novices who foolishly bet on only one box will find it difficult to make money, and even if they win, it will only be small amounts.

Chen Xi often saw some idiots in the casino who only bet on one box. They had no idea how to really play.

However, this kind of table booking method is also extremely risky. If you don’t win the jackpot, you will be a complete failure.

But according to statistics, the average winner has to bet around 700,000 to 800,000 Australian dollars to win the jackpot.

Sometimes the jackpot can be much higher, reaching millions, because the jackpot amounts are compounded based on special bets placed at each table.

"What? You want to play?"

Seeing that Zhao Lingshan was already sitting on the high chair, Chen Xi walked up to her and asked.

He didn't like this game. This kind of play with a small risk for a big gain had no appeal to him. He preferred the game of Jia Jia Le where the odds were almost 50-50.

"Give it a try. I'm lucky today anyway."

Zhao Lingshan didn't take Chen Xi's words to heart at all. She picked up a hundred dollars and started betting.

No one was playing at this table or at the tables nearby. The dealer looked very bored and yawned several times while standing there.

At this time, seeing a player coming, he immediately became interested, asked in a friendly manner, and then opened the seal on the small transparent box containing the playing cards.

"Too fierce."

A few minutes later, Chen Xi started talking to himself.

Tonight, Zhao Lingshan acted like a female version of the God of Gamblers, constantly winning pairs, three of a kind and other special combination prizes.

After only a few minutes of playing, she demonstrated several combinations that stunned the dealer. He rubbed his eyes and suddenly all his sleepiness disappeared.

Zhao Lingshan became more and more excited, and began to increase the amount of her bets gradually. However, she only increased it by a few hundred yuan each time.

Fortunately, she won more than she lost, and soon, the chips in front of her piled up like a mountain.

After playing for a while, Zhao Lingshan was not happy about winning so much money. Instead, she frowned and looked at the numbers jumping on the screen.

“Why can’t I win that big prize?”

She rested her chin on her hand and muttered softly.

Hearing this, Chen Xi felt speechless.

If a royal flush was that easy to win, those guys wouldn't book so many tables to play.

"I told you to stop messing around, but you kept going and even went to an ATM outside to withdraw money. The limit had already been reached, but you still insisted on using my card to withdraw money."

"Why are you in such a hurry? I'll make up for it in a little while. I'll return it to you then. You're so nagging."

"I think you want to die. How dare you talk to me like that? Let's break up."

"I was wrong, wife~"

"Get lost! I get angry just seeing you!"

"Alan, take it easy. Let it rain less and play slowly."

"What time is it? Why are you still playing slowly? I'm so sleepy."

A familiar voice sounded from behind him, and Chen Xi turned his head unconsciously.

It turned out to be Alan, Dashan and the others.

Alan dejectedly pulled Li Yan's arm to apologize, while Dashan yawned beside him.

Xiaoyu held the banknotes in his hand, his eyes full of desire to fight.

"Hello~ How's the battle going? Are we winning or losing?"

Chen Xi blurted out, shouting out the catchphrase that Alan often used in his previous life to ask him whether he won or lost.

"You bastard, you're actually playing here by yourself? Huh? And you brought a girl with you? Is she your girlfriend?"

"Oh, it's pretty."

As soon as Allen saw Chen Xi, he immediately walked up to greet him enthusiastically.

At this time, Zhao Lingshan also turned her head. When Alan saw her appearance, his eyes widened.

Because his girlfriend Li Yan is not good-looking, Xiaoyu is just ordinary.

"No, she is my childhood friend."

"Hello, my name is Zhao Lingshan, and Chen Xi and I are childhood sweethearts."

Zhao Lingshan has strong communication skills, and Chen Xi’s simple introduction made her feel very dissatisfied.

So, she took the initiative to introduce herself, and replaced the "childhood friend" Chen Xi mentioned with "childhood sweetheart".

"Wow, childhood sweethearts~ I've only seen this term in TV dramas."

"Xiu'er!"

Alan expressed his inner thoughts in an exaggerated manner, and Dashan, who was usually taciturn, also made a rare joke.

"Sure, you're having a lot of fun. I was wondering why you didn't have a relationship. Turns out you have a beautiful childhood sweetheart!" Alan walked up to Chen Xi, gently nudged him with his arm, and started joking.

"Oh, you won so much money, but we lost everything."

Soon, Allen's attention was attracted by the pile of colorful chips. He and Xiaoyu had just lost a lot of money, Li Yan had been complaining beside him, and Dashan was also dissatisfied.

"Well, it's her first time here and she's pretty lucky." Chen Xi nodded, affirming Shanshan's luck tonight.

"Come on, let me take you to play some brain-stimulating games. What's so fun about this? You're just playing with the dealer."

Alan called them and took them to try new things.

"Do you need to change chips?"

Seeing that they were about to leave, the dealer kindly reminded them and suggested that they change to larger chips for easier carrying.

"Well, thank you."

Zhao Lingshan nodded, took the large chips handed to her by the other party, held Chen Xi's arm tightly, and followed Allen's steps.

Chen Xi felt that there were so many people around and it was inappropriate for the two of them to perform such intimate actions, so he tried to pull his arm away.

However, the more he pulled away, the tighter Zhao Lingshan hugged him, so he had no choice but to give up resisting.

Allen’s previous words aroused Zhao Lingshan’s interest.

When she heard that it was a game that required her brain, she felt that all the games she had just played became boring.

Zhao Lingshan is a person who likes to challenge difficult things, and she is full of expectations for such a game.

"Do you know? I lost a lot of money tonight and lost several thousand dollars." Alan said as he walked.

"Look how proud you are! You even make such a loud noise after losing money." Li Yan said dissatisfiedly from the side.

When Chen Xi heard that it was only a few thousand yuan, he realized that he had lost tens of millions of yuan in his previous life.

For him, a few thousand dollars might just be a small bet.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reveal an expression of making a fuss.

"What's that expression on your face? Aren't a few thousand dollars money?"

"Well, you're right."

Chen Xi did not refute Allen, but just nodded lightly.

"Chen Xi, your girlfriend is so clingy to you, she hugs you so tightly."

Xiaoyu joked from the side.

"I already told you she's not my girlfriend anymore."

"Yes, yes, you are a grown man and yet you are so shy."

Seeing that his explanation didn't work, Chen Xi could only turn his head and glare at Zhao Lingshan fiercely.

The latter raised his chin, acting as if he was a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

Led by Allen, Chen Xi and others came to a small hall.

There are several large tables here, and many people are sitting at them.

This is a place to play Texas Hold'em, which is also a game that requires thinking as mentioned by Allen. This made Chen Xi not know what to say.

"I think I've played this a few times at home with my friends, but the bets were all food."

Zhao Lingshan stared at the table for a while. She was familiar with this game and knew the rules and procedures very well.

However, she had never played this kind of game in a casino before. The one she just played was similar to this one, but it was just a one-on-one game against the dealer.

The way to play here is to fight with other players, and Casino will take a cut of the money as service fee.

"Come on, I can't wait."

Zhao Lingshan licked her lips, looking charming and attractive. Chen Xi stared at her crystal clear lips and swallowed his saliva involuntarily.

When Chen Xi was in a daze, Zhao Lingshan also noticed his loss of composure and couldn't help but giggle.

In front of Chen Xi, she usually doesn't show shyness, and her blushing face before was only a rare occurrence.

Shit, it’s strange that I never found this girl so attractive before.

It seems that they have been playing together since childhood and have spent too long together.

Chen Xi had no time to think about Texas Hold'em now. His mind was full of the tempting scene just now.

He had never thought that Zhao Lingshan was pretty before, let alone attractive. But now he suddenly felt that something was different.

Soon, several people sat at different tables, while Chen Xi, Dashan and Li Yan sat down not far away.

In order to prevent cheating, according to casino rules, no one can accompany you to play Texas Hold'em.

So Chen Xi could only stand outside and watch, while Zhao Lingshan boldly sat down alone and started playing cards.

Before playing cards, Chen Xi had warned her not to play too big, and left half of the chips she had won with him for safekeeping, while she could control the remaining half at will.

"You have a good eye, much better than Li Yuqing."

Li Yan sat next to Chen Xi, crossing her legs and said.

She has always disliked Li Yuqing, and the two had a conflict in high school.

In the past, the two lived in the same host family, and the girls would often have various problems over trivial matters such as using cosmetics or cleaning.

He remembered that Li Yan once said that Li Yuqing had stolen her cosmetics.

Li Yuqing accused Li Yan of using her rice cooker to cook.

Xiaoyu and Li Yan were good friends, so the two girls often teamed up to mock Li Yuqing, and even fought once.

"Uh, you said she's not my girlfriend anymore."

Chen Xi felt a little troubled. He was wondering whether he should tell everyone about himself and Saori, but he didn't like people spreading rumors outside, so he thought about it and decided to give up.

His principle is that as long as he is not married, he will not tell too many people which girl he is dating.

Otherwise, if they break up in the future, he will need to explain, which will make him feel very embarrassed.

"It seems that this idiot Allen has lost again."

Li Yan saw the mask of pain on Alan's face at the table in the distance, and couldn't help but hit the small table next to her.

She has always had a bad temper, and Chen Xi couldn't help but worry whether Alan would be beaten to death by Li Yan in this life.

"Xiaoyu doesn't seem to be doing well either."

Dashan, who is usually calm and taciturn, became a little uneasy at this time.

He didn't care about losing money because his family was well off and the money was just a drop in the bucket for him.

However, Xiaoyu would lose her temper whenever she was unhappy, and he was not very good at coaxing people, which gave him a headache.
