Rebirth begins with rejecting Qingmei

Chapter 1446 Catching a Turtle

As the two passed each other, Chen Shumi always made sure she was facing Jessica Jung.

This made her behavior somewhat strange.

She herself noticed it, but Jessica Jung did not.

Chen Shumi shifted her attention to Jessica Jung.

She suddenly noticed that her mother's complexion was not good, and there was a faint worry between her brows.

Although Chen Shumi was puzzled, she didn't think much of it.

Taking advantage of Jessica Jung's inattention, she quickly rushed into the room.

After locking the door again, Chen Shumi let out a sigh of relief.

She looked up to find her sister, then walked over to her and said, "Sister, I've brought the shoes back."

"Ah."

"But where should we put it?"

Chen Shuwan said, "Let's put it under the bed first. Mom shouldn't come in, and even if she does, she won't look under the bed."

"it is good."

After putting the shoes away, Chen Shumi walked to the wardrobe, knocked on the door, and said in a low voice, "Brother Wen, you can come out now."

Upon hearing the sound, Xu Xiuwen quickly came out of the wardrobe.

He walked between the two beds, rested his chin on his hand, and said, "Now I can only wait for Auntie to leave before I leave."

"It can only be this way."

"But when can Auntie leave?"

"I don't know," Chen Shumi shook her head.

Chen Shuwan then said, "Brother Wen, should I go ask again?"

Xu Xiuwen waved his hand, "No need, it would be too strange for you to ask a second time."

"Oh."

Chen Shumi suggested, "Brother Wen, Sister, let's not stand, let's sit down and talk."

"Okay." x2
Xu Xiuwen was the first to walk over and sit down by Chen Shumi's bedside.

Seeing this, Chen Shuwan hesitated for a moment, then walked over and sat down next to him.

Chen Shumi sat down on the other side of Xu Xiuwen.

Xu Xiuwen said with a slightly self-reproachful tone, "Sigh, if I hadn't slept for so long, I wouldn't have been stuck in the room and wouldn't have missed your classes."

Chen Shumi chuckled after hearing this, "Brother Wen, I should thank you! Now I don't have to go to class, I'm so happy..."

There was something else she didn't say.

That is, I am happy to be able to be with you right now.

Because her older sister was also there, Chen Shumi was a little shy, so she omitted that sentence.

Chen Shuwan also said softly, "Brother Wen, don't blame yourself, I don't blame you..."

"thank you all."

Chen Shumi asked, "Since Brother Wen can't get out now, should we do something?"

Xu Xiuwen keenly grasped the essence of the word 'do'.

But he immediately regained his senses.

Even if his girlfriend were incredibly bold, she wouldn't do anything reckless while Chen Shuwan was still around.

Xu Xiuwen asked calmly, "What are you doing?"

Chen Shuwan also cast a curious glance at her.

Chen Shumi chuckled, "It's a secret."

Under the watchful eyes of the two, Chen Shumi walked to the table, opened one of the drawers, and took out a deck of cards.

Chen Shumi turned to face the two of them.

She shook the playing cards in her hand and said with a smile, "Want to play a game of cards?"

Xu Xiuwen was not in the mood to play cards at the moment.

Chen Shuwan is similar.

But just like Chen Shumi said, since we can't go out anyway, and we're just idling around, we might as well play some cards to pass the time.

Xu Xiuwen thought about it for a moment and then agreed to play cards.

Seeing that he had agreed, Chen Shuwan also agreed.

Chen Shumi chuckled and asked, "So, what cards should we play?"

Xu Xiuwen said, "Let's play Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game), it's the simplest."

Chen Shumi hesitated.

Chen Shuwan didn't seem too keen on playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).

Seeing this, Xu Xiuwen said, "Then you guys choose, I'll take whatever you want."

Chen Shumi immediately smiled and said, "Brother Wen, let's play catching turtles."

"Catch a turtle?"

"Yes."

Xu Xiuwen turned to Chen Shuwan and asked, "Wan'er, what about you?"

Chen Shuwan said, "I can do that."

Seeing that both girls wanted to play the turtle-catching game, Xu Xiuwen had no choice but to agree.

Before it officially began, the three of them had to adjust their positions.

Because there wasn't a suitable table for playing cards in the room, and there weren't enough chairs either.

So the three of them discussed it and decided to play on the bed.

Chen Shuwan and Chen Shumi took off their shoes, climbed onto the bed, and sat on either side.

Xu Xiuwen sat crookedly on the edge of the bed.

Before starting, Chen Shumi also introduced the rules of the game.

Catching turtles is similar to the games they play in his hometown, like catching soft-shelled turtles and catching ghosts.

First, remove the jokers from the deck. Then, divide the remaining cards into three groups. Each player then removes any cards that form pairs from their hand.

Then each person draws their opponent's bottom card. Each time they make a pair, they discard it; otherwise, they put it back in their hand and wait for the next person to draw a card.

Whoever is left with only one King in their hand at the end is considered captured.

After Chen Shumi finished explaining the game rules, Xu Xiuwen nodded and said, "I understand, let's begin."

"it is good."

The three then began to draw cards.

Xu Xiuwen was the first to draw cards, and he drew a total of 17 cards. After removing all the pairs, he had 6 cards left, none of which were jokers.

Chen Shuwan has 5 cards in her hand, while Chen Shumi has 8 cards.

When Chen Shumi saw this, she felt as if the sky had fallen.

She looked at Xu Xiuwen with a pained expression, as if she had been bullied.

Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but chuckle as he read it.

Chen Shuwan also chuckled to herself.

Chen Shumi's expression became even more dejected.

Seeing this, Xu Xiuwen could only comfort him, "Having more cards in your hand doesn't mean you'll lose, don't worry..."

Chen Shumi responded with an "oh".

The game then began, and Chen Shumi was the first to draw a card because she had the most cards in her hand.

She chose to draw Xu Xiuwen's hand cards.

许修文手里的牌分别是3、4、5、9、10、K。

Chen Shumi drew the first card, which was a King.

The girl excitedly exclaimed, "I have K!"

She took out another King from her hand, paired it with the King she had just drawn, and then dropped it into the deck.

According to the rules, as long as you can make a pair, you can continue to draw cards until you can no longer make a pair.

So Chen Shumi continued drawing cards.

This time it’s 3.

Chen Shumi easily formed a pair of cards.

She was thrilled and continued drawing cards.

However, the next card marked the end of her draw.

Chen Shumi's smile froze instantly.

She watched with a sullen expression as Xu Xiuwen drew the cards.

It was Xu Xiuwen's turn next. He couldn't draw a card from Chen Shumi's hand, but he could only draw a card from Chen Shuwan's hand.

Xu Xiuwen took a 5 from Chen Shuwan's hand, made a pair, and then discarded it.

The next card is the Ace of Hearts.

This time, it's impossible to make a pair.

Therefore, Xu Xiuwen's card drawing ended.

It was Chen Shuwan's turn.

Chen Shuwan drew a 2 from Chen Shumi's hand.

She happened to have a 2 in her hand.

Two 2s make a pair, remove them!

Chen Shuwan continued drawing cards.

Her slender, white fingertips rested perfectly on the ace.

Chen Shumi's eyes lit up.

Xu Xiuwen happened to notice this scene and almost burst out laughing.

However, at this crucial moment, Chen Shuwan suddenly drew the 10 next to the trump card.

Chen Shuwan's hand consists of A, 2, 5, 7, and 10.

A and 5 were both taken by Xu Xiuwen, and she managed to get another pair herself.

At this point, she only had 7 and 10 left in her hand.

Chen Shuwan threw two 10s into the deck.

At this moment, she only had one 7 left in her hand, while Chen Shumi happened to have a 7 in her hand as well.

This means that as long as Chen Shuwan draws a 7, she will win directly.

Even if she didn't draw a 7, Chen Shumi still had 5 cards in her hand, and as long as she didn't draw the King, her chances of winning were still very high. Chen Shumi placed all her hopes on this card draw.

Perhaps her prayers worked.

Chen Shuwan took A.

Chen Shumi breathed a sigh of relief, "That scared me to death."

Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but say, "Mi'er, can you stop being so funny?"

Chen Shumi rolled her eyes at him upon hearing this, and then shouted, "It's my turn to draw a card."

Xu Xiuwen nodded and said, "Okay, then you can draw it."

He pushed his hand forward slightly.

Chen Shumi stared at his hand of cards, hesitant.

Finally, she chose the third card.

The result is A.

Chen Shumi was stunned.

She was so angry she almost threw away the Ace, but in the end she silently put it back in the deck.

It was Xu Xiuwen's turn to draw a card again.

He hoped he would have better luck.

However, what he didn't know was that Chen Shuwan only had two cards in her hand: an Ace and a 7.

No matter how he draws the cards, he can't possibly get a pair.

Xu Xiuwen casually drew a 7.

It was Chen Shuwan's turn to draw a card again.

She had an Ace in her hand, and Chen Shuwan also happened to have an Ace in her hand.

The game ends as long as she draws the winning number.

Chen Shumi clearly understood this as well, which is why she was extremely nervous.

Just a second before Chen Shuwan was about to draw a card, she suddenly called a stop.

"Wait a moment!"

Xu Xiuwen and Chen Shuwan both looked puzzled.

Chen Shumi explained, "I'll shuffle the cards!"

Chen Shuwan naturally wouldn't stop her.

Xu Xiuwen readily agreed.

Chen Shumi was worried that the two of them would see her shuffling the cards, so she deliberately put her hand behind her back while shuffling.

After shuffling for about 5 seconds, she took out her hand again.

"Sis, go ahead and smoke."

Chen Shuwan hummed in agreement, then drew a card from the deck without hesitation.

When Chen Shumi saw the card she had chosen, her face immediately darkened.

It turns out that Chen Shuwan drew the only card that could help her win, the Ace of Hearts.

Chen Shuwan smiled.

She put the two Aces together into the deck, then smiled and said, "I won."

"Yes, you won." Xu Xiuwen even clapped his hands.

Chen Shumi bit her lip enviously.

Even after Chen Shuwan won, the game had to continue.

Because we still need to decide who the tortoise is.

This time it was Chen Shumi's turn to draw the cards, but it's hard to say whether she was lucky or unlucky.

Xu Xiuwen only has two cards in his hand: 4 and 9.

She drew a 9 on her first draw, which matched the 9 she already had.

At this point, Xu Xiuwen only had one card left in his hand.

If Chen Shumi draws the card, Xu Xiuwen will automatically win.

In fact, Chen Shumi had already lost the moment Chen Shuwan won.

Even if she drew a 4 instead of a 9, Xu Xiuwen would still automatically win.

Upon realizing this, Chen Shumi's face instantly darkened.

Xu Xiuwen laughed heartily and clapped hands with Chen Shuwan.

Chen Shumi's face darkened even more when she saw this.

Her competitive spirit kicked in.

Chen Shumi insisted on continuing to play.

In the blink of an eye, three more rounds of cards were played, and Chen Shumi was the turtle in all of them.

Chen Shumi finally couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Did you two cheat? Why do I keep losing while you keep winning?"

Chen Shuwan was somewhat at a loss.

She certainly wouldn't cheat, she just didn't know how to explain it.

Xu Xiuwen laughed and said, "You're just not as skilled as others, so don't blame this or that..."

Chen Shumi naturally understood this principle.

But she was very resentful.

"But I can't possibly lose every single game, right? Let's continue!"

Chen Shuwan said, "I'm fine with either."

Xu Xiuwen shook his head and refused, "Forget it, I'm a little tired, I don't want to play cards anymore."

Chen Shumi stared at him resentfully.

Xu Xiuwen chose to ignore it.

At this time.

Chen Shumi's phone suddenly rang.

She picked up her phone and glanced at it, only to find that it was a text message from Li Ke.

After reading the text message, Chen Shumi looked at Xu Xiuwen and said, "Keke asked me why my sister and I didn't go to class?"

Xu Xiuwen said, "Then why are you looking at me when you're replying to her message?"

Chen Shumi responded with an "oh".

She lowered her head and began typing a reply.

With nothing to do, Xu Xiuwen wandered around aimlessly.

Xu Xiuwen quickly noticed a celebrity poster on the wall; it was a poster of the Little Tigers.

Xu Xiuwen asked with a smile, "You guys still like the Little Tigers?"

Chen Shuwan shook her head, "I don't like it, it's Mi'er who likes it."

Upon hearing her sister's words, Chen Shumi, without even bothering to type, quickly explained, "I don't like it anymore either."

Xu Xiuwen laughed, "It's fine if you like it, I won't be jealous."

Chen Shumi muttered under her breath, "That's not necessarily true!"

Xu Xiuwen's face immediately darkened.

Seeing this, Chen Shuwan smiled secretly.

Xu Xiuwen thought for a moment and said, "When I was waiting for you at the back gate of the school today, I bought something at the store across the street, and the shop owner recognized me. She promised not to tell anyone, and I promised to give her a signed photo of Bai Yue'er."

Chen Shumi immediately exclaimed, "I want one too!"

Xu Xiuwen didn't even look at her. "There's no share for you."

He turned to Chen Shuwan and asked, "Wan'er, do you want Yue'er's autographed photo?"

Bai Yue'er's fame is growing, and she has countless fans, including many students.

It's no exaggeration to say that Bai Yue'er's popularity among young people is now comparable to that of some Hong Kong superstars.

Chen Shuwan has not yet answered.

Chen Shumi then spoke up, "Why does my sister have it and I don't? Brother Wen, you're being too biased!"

Xu Xiuwen smiled and said, "Who told Wan'er to be more obedient than you? I just like well-behaved and obedient girls."

Chen Shumi protested softly, "How am I being naughty? I'm being very good, okay?"

Xu Xiuwen snorted, "I wonder who was just now who suspected me of cheating at cards."

Chen Shumi: "..."

After a few seconds of silence, Chen Shumi said, "I admit I did say that, but you can't be biased. I'm still your girlfriend."

Xu Xiuwen nodded: "You've reminded me. I'll send you one too."

Although Xu Xiuwen promised to give her Bai Yue'er's autographed photo, Chen Shumi couldn't feel happy.

Xu Xiuwen suddenly said, "I want to lie down for a while~"

Without waiting for the two women's consent, Xu Xiuwen climbed onto the bed and lay down between them.

Something needs to be clarified here.

Chen Shuwan and Chen Shumi were sitting on the bed, not lying on it.

Xu Xiuwen wasn't lying upright, but rather lying sideways between the two of them.

Therefore, the three of them were not in a very intimate pose.

If it were a different girl, Xu Xiuwen probably wouldn't have done that.

His lying position might be too close for some people, and quite presumptuous.

But the other party was Chen Shuwan.

Xu Xiuwen subconsciously felt that there was no need to think so much.

In fact, Chen Shuwan had no complaints whatsoever about him suddenly lying between her and her sister.

Chen Shuwan even thoughtfully asked, "Brother Wen, do I need to move aside so you can lie on your side?"

Xu Xiuwen shook his head: "There's no need. It's quite comfortable lying down like this. If you're tired, you can lie down for a bit!"

Chen Shumi had just finished replying to the text message.

She turned her head and saw Xu Xiuwen lying down.

In addition, after hearing what Xu Xiuwen said.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Shumi lay down next to Xu Xiuwen.

She lay down sideways, with her calves and feet sticking out of the bed.

Seeing that the two of them had already lay down, Chen Shuwan hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to lie down as well.
