I Can't Be This Protagonist

The room was extremely quiet, only the movement of Qi Feiyun treating the wounds of the two.

Ji Wensong first looked at the dark night outside the window, and after standing still for a while, he walked to the corner.

Both Ji Yao and Qin Yubai stared at each other. After noticing Ji Wensong's movements from the corner of the eye, they turned their eyes away at the same time.

The back of the chair behind her was held down by slender arms, and a tall shadow was cast on top of her head. Yan Shuang flinched and slowly raised her face.

There was no expression on Ji Wensong's face.

He is usually very gentle, although that kind of gentleness also has a strong sense of oppression, but the expressionless appearance like this can only be described as horror, most people just glanced like this, Will feel weak legs.

And Yan Shuang, who was watching by him, still had a dazed and innocent look on his face.

"The two of them can't win or lose," Ji Wensong said lightly, "You tell me, who do you choose."

In an instant, all eyes in the room focused on Yan Shuang alone.

The overly hot eyes are simply irritating.

There is also a secretly peeping gaze, which is faintly visible but full of presence.

Under the pressure of several lines of sight from the front and back, Yan Shuang seemed to be sitting in the eye of a storm, and even the chair she was sitting on seemed to be crumbling.

Everyone is waiting for his answer.

Yan Shuang turned his face slowly, and looked at the two people who were sitting facing each other, both of whom were scarred by him.

The expressions on the faces of the two men were almost identical.

Nervousness, worry, anxiety, and... fear.

They are fearing that the chosen one is not themselves.

Maybe they didn't even realize that they had placed themselves at the two ends of the balance for Yan Shuang to weigh them, and jumped on it voluntarily.

Like a commodity up for grabs.

Yan Shuang's gaze wandered back and forth between the two, and as his gaze fell on the faces of different people, the expressions of the two of them also changed constantly with his gaze.

However, Yan Shuang's gaze was still wavering, and tears were already quietly streaming from his eyes, and he looked like he was about to collapse because he didn't know who to choose.

In the end, he lowered his head as if to escape from the eager gaze of the two.

Ji Wensong laughed when he saw this, he turned his face, looked at the two of them, and said sneeringly: "Your little baby is very greedy."

"no--"

Fierce denials came immediately.

"not like this……"

Tears filled his eyes, and then rolled down his cheeks. Yan Shuang raised his face and argued excitedly. His defense was meaningless, and he could only repeat his denial palely and empty. There is no choice between people, and greed is insatiable.

But neither of them felt that way.

Qin Yubai stood up, faced Ji Wensong directly, and said in a heavy tone, "Mr. Ji, this is my family matter, please don't make things difficult for my younger brother."

Ji Yao also stood up, and said briefly: "Father, don't force him."

"The two of you are of one mind at this time."

Ji Wensong shook his head lightly, he straightened up and took a meaningful look at Yan Shuang who was crying very poorly.

To be honest, he has also seen many emotional liars who are good at playing with emotions, and some even make a living by doing this.

But they are not as good as Yan Shuang.

It's almost like an innate talent.

What's even more frightening is that Ji Wensong didn't realize what Yan Shuang really wanted.

He hides his own desires, but plays with the desires of others.

Such a fundamentally unfair game, anyone who participated in it would be doomed to be defeated by him.

Ji Wensong withdrew his gaze, "I had prepared a special program tonight, but your program is also special enough." Ji Wensong reached out and nodded in the air, "It's just an exchange."

The bodyguard outside came in with a few boxes, and soon placed chips and poker on the table where the two faced each other.

"Let's play a game," Ji Wensong said slowly, "Stud, the winner is determined in one game." He waved to Qi Feiyun, "You deal the cards, so as not to say that I am partial to my son."

gambling?

Use this method to determine Yan Shuang's "belonging"?

Qin Yubai subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Why?Yan Shuang was originally his!

His eyes swept to Yan Shuang who was curled up on the chair, but he couldn't say what he wanted to take Yan Shuang to leave immediately.

Yan Shuang was shaking.

He is not wavering, but he doesn't know who he is and where he should go. His brain is struggling and confused between truth and falsehood.

...and he did it all.

"I object," Ji Yao said coldly, "I've said it before, he's not an item."

"...I also object." Qin Yubai said along the way.

Ji Wensong said with a smile: "Just now, the fight was fierce, but now it's like this. Well, if he doesn't choose, you don't choose either. I will choose for you."

Ji Wensong waved his hand lightly, and the bodyguard behind him immediately made a gesture to walk towards Yan Shuangdai's corner.

"Father--"

"Mr. Ji—"

They shouted anxiously to stop again in unison.

"Okay, okay," Ji Wensong waved his hand, "I know you two reconciled, so I'll take this kid home tonight and torture him to find out who he wants to follow, lest you just pinch him when you meet, it's not worth it right thing."

"I bet."

Qin Yu's face was ashen, "Don't touch him, I bet."

He couldn't let Yan Shuang get hurt even a little bit because of him.

Ji Wensong glanced at his son.

Ji Yao's face was gloomy, he didn't speak, but sat down silently.

"Okay," Ji Wensong said, "That's sensible."

A chip of 100 million.

Fifty large chips were stacked in front of the two of them.

A total of [-] million is the amount originally provided for all guests to play together.

"You can admit defeat at any time," Ji Wensong lit a cigarette, took a puff with great interest, and said to Qin Yubai kindly, "Don't worry, if he loses, I won't pay him a penny."

Ji Yao has reached his full age, and the total amount of his trust is not a small amount, part of which is real estate, which is stipulated that he is not allowed to sell it before marriage, and the remaining cash flow stocks, funds, and bonds can only be withdrawn by a maximum of 10% a year The limit is almost 5000 million.

His father still felt that he didn't have enough control over him, and wanted to use this gamble to make him lose everything in a short period of time.

Unless he... throws in the towel now.

When he asked his father for help in Switzerland, his father once said a word.

"You have learned to bow your head now. This is the first thing that comforts me when you grow up."

However, some things cannot be bowed to.

Ji Yao raised his eyes and said to Qin Yubai: "As far as I know, Mr. Qin's cash flow is a little tight now."

Qin Yubai's hands tightened, and he said lightly, "Don't worry about Ji Ji."

The more Ji Wensong watched the scene, the more interesting he became. He raised his chin and motioned to the quiet doctor, "Let's deal the cards."

In Stud, only five cards are dealt in total, and five cards determine the outcome.

Qi Feiyun dealt out the first card.

The first one was a hidden card, which was placed on the table. Both Ji Yao and Qin Yubai chose not to look at it.

The second card starts out as a clear card.

Ji Yao's is 8 of hearts, and Qin Yu's is 4 of clubs.

Ji Yao, who has a bigger card, can bet first.

He pushed ten chips.

Qin Yu's face remained unchanged, "I'll follow."

Qi Feiyun continued to deal the cards.

Ji Yao's is still a red heart, even a 8 which is close to an 7 of hearts.

Two adjacent flush cards, Qin Yubai's eyes flickered as soon as the cards came out, and after seeing his own 4 of diamonds, his face turned pale.

He didn't doubt that Ji Wensong would do tricks on purpose, so he didn't believe that Ji Yao's luck would really be good enough to get a straight flush.

After Ji Yao continued to bet ten chips, Qin Yubai still chose to follow without hesitation.

Ji Wensong raised his legs and glanced at Yan Shuang in the corner.

Yan Shuang still looked downcast and immersed in his own world, as if he didn't know that the two of them had piled tens of millions of chips on the gambling table for him in just one minute, apart from fighting for him.

Qi Feiyun dealt the cards continuously, and the two of them had no scruples at all. No matter who rolled out the chips, the other followed up without a second's pause.

From the very beginning of this gamble, they were prepared to use 5000 million to buy tickets.

Leave the rest to God.

Fate is meant to be, and it seems really fair.

The last card is dealt.

As expected, Ji Yao's cards were not of the same suit. There were only the original 7 and 8 of hearts, and the rest were a 6 of spades and a 10 of clubs.

Qin Yubai's cards are more dominant from the point of view, three 4s of different suits, and a 9 of diamonds.

If Ji Yao's hole card is not a 9, Ji Yao will definitely lose.

And Qin Yubai already has a 9 of diamonds in his hand, the probability of Ji Yao's hole card being a 9 is even smaller.

This is not a movie, Qin Yubai doesn't believe in miracles either, he has a high probability of winning this bet!

One hundred million chips have been piled on the table.

This is actually a "clear card" gamble, because they all know that the other party cannot let go.

The loser can only lose everything.

"Unveil the plaque." Qin Yubai said with a calm expression.

Ji Yao's expression didn't change either, he had already made up his mind that "Even if we lose now, we will definitely win back".

When the finger touched the hidden card, there was a sound from the corner.

"and many more."

Yan Shuang, who had been silent all this time, got down from the chair.

His eyes were slightly red and swollen, and there were tears on his face, but his expression finally calmed down.

Qin Yubai looked at him, and involuntarily let go of his crossed hands, "Shuangshuang, I'm going to win soon, wait a little longer, and I'll take you home."

Yan Shuang looked at Qi Feiyun, "Sir, can you explain to me how this game is played?"

Qi Feiyun simply said: "If Mr. Ji's card is not 9, then he will lose."

"If it's 9, he wins, right?"

"Yes."

Yan Shuang nodded lightly, and he looked at Ji Yao again, Ji Yao's expression was flat, he knew that he would lose with a high probability, "It's okay, I can afford to lose."

"How much... how much is it here?"

"One hundred million."

It was Ji Wensong who answered him.

Ji Wensong had only smoked a third of his cigarette. This was an extremely fast game, and both parties on the game table recognized that the value of this vacillating person far exceeded their chips on the table.

Ji Wensong smiled deeply, "You are very valuable."

Ji Yao frowned lightly, he didn't like the idea that Ji Wensong linked money to Yan Shuang without opening his mouth.

Yan Shuang nodded, without showing any shocked expression because of this astonishing number, he turned around, stood at the end of the gaming table, and said to Qin Yubai, "I have a few questions for you."

His expression was extremely calm, as if he had finally woken up from the chaos.

Under his gaze, Qin Yubai actually felt the fear that he had never felt when he bet tens of millions of chips just now.

"Don't lie to me, okay?"

The tone was pleading, those beautiful eyes were shrouded in smoke, begging him not to deceive him even once.

Qin Yubai froze for a long time. It wasn't that he didn't want to respond, but he realized that he couldn't control his body. After a long time, he nodded his head lightly.

"Qin Qing is your younger brother, isn't he?"

The Adam's apple rolled vigorously, as if his throat was stuck.

"……yes?"

Trembling questioning, people can no longer have the heart to deceive him.

"……Yes."

"I look a lot like him, don't I?"

"Yes."

"I'm..." Yan Shuang choked up a sob, suppressed the sound of crying, and said as calmly as possible, "Is it his substitute?"

"..."

Qin Yu was as if struck by lightning, he couldn't tell the answer.

Yes or no?

Yes.

He really had this idea in mind when he approached Yan Shuang at the beginning, and he kept treating Yan Shuang as a "stand-in".

Nor is it.

He has figured it out tonight, he can accept that Qin Qing has always been his younger brother, but he obviously already has a possessive desire for Yan Shuang beyond this identity, he wants to be his lover, and wants to drive away all the surroundings openly people around him.

So not.

Saying it, no, he didn't think that way, Qin Yubai wanted to make a sound hoarsely in his chest, but he looked at Yan Shuang's extremely clear eyes, he... couldn't tell any more lies.

"Okay, thank you."

Yan Shuang didn't ask for his answer. He faced him and bowed deeply, "Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

He turned around and looked at Ji Yao.

Ji Yao's expression is full of sympathy, distress, pity... maybe there are other emotions.

Because actually, no matter whether his hole card is 9 or not, Qin Yubai has already lost.

He's the real winner of the gamble, and he should be happy.

"Ji Yao, can you also answer a question for me?"

Yan Shuang was cautious, the corners of his mouth seemed to want to rise, but he could only barely raise a slight arc.

Ji Yao said softly, "You ask."

"Before you met me... did you know Qin Qing?"

The reserved and indifferent expression fell into panic for a moment, and the strong shock seemed to make this noble son, who was always moody and angry, unable to maintain that haughty mask.

Seeing his reaction, Yan Shuang laughed, but the smile was uglier than crying, "Thank you, I understand."

Yan Shuang turned around, the tears in his eyes seemed to fall, "Brother, this is the last time I call you that, I just want to remember a little bit, I am an orphan, I come from the Star Welfare Institute, there...is me s home."

He didn't look at Qin Yubai's reaction, turned around and faced Ji Wensong again, and bowed deeply again, "I'm sorry for disturbing today's banquet, please let this bet go."

He leaned over and took the two hole cards from the gaming table, tightly clustering them in his palm.

"I'm worthless."

"Please don't waste so much money on me."

"... so much money, as long as you can donate a little, the brothers and sisters in the orphanage... will have meat for every meal..."

"thank you all."

He turned and left with the two unopened hole cards.

No one spoke, no one stopped him.

Opening the heavy door, Yan Shuang walked a few steps with a sad face, and then his expression became more and more relaxed. He tore up the two cards in his hand as he walked.

How can there be a winner in the game?

Isn't it all dealers?

Swinging his fingertips randomly, the fragments of the cards fell one after another. Yan Shuang hooked his lips, unbuttoned his suit casually, and walked into the vast night alone against the autumn wind.
