Chapter 231 Admitting Defeat
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter. As for Zhao Zhaodi's group, they were still far from collecting all 10 whiskers, so when Zhao Yuan called for dinner, they quickly finished their current game and moved to Cheng Hui's group to join the audience.
At this moment, Wang Bin spoke with a grin:
"Ugh, the pressure is immense! So many people are watching. Should we just admit defeat? We've been fighting hard all afternoon and only managed to win one game."
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than Chen Runping retorted:
"What nonsense are you spouting! How can this be called admitting defeat? As a true man, even if you lose, you should lose with dignity!"
"Yeah, we only have two rounds left! Who knows if a miracle will happen? Maybe we can pull off an amazing comeback and win! The honor of our boys' team is all in your hands, so come on, everyone! Please, please!"
Li Bin said jokingly with a relaxed expression.
"Oh dear, it's not that easy. The probability is ridiculously low. I think we should just give up and crawl under the table instead."
Yan Meili responded with a grin, her smile carrying a hint of teasing.
"That's not how it works! Who says there's no chance to turn things around? Often, a reversal of fortune happens in an instant, and a change of mindset can bring unexpected results. Let's play two more rounds. If we unfortunately lose one, then it's just that we're not as good as our opponents and we have to accept the loss. But if we can win two in a row, hehe..."
Cheng Hui spoke with confidence, his eyes revealing a hint of determination and stubbornness.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone sprang into action, shuffling and drawing cards.
In an instant, the previously lively and relaxed atmosphere suddenly became serious and somber.
The male students stood closely behind their male counterparts, each with a focused expression; the female students were not to be outdone, also crowding around their male counterparts, intently staring at the cards in their hands, secretly competing with each other, hoping that their side could win this crucial round.
"Those watching must remain quiet and not make any noise to disturb the game."
Yan Meili smiled slightly as she reminded everyone, her slightly smug expression seemingly implying that she held a winning hand.
"Haha, in my opinion, you male students should just raise your hands and surrender, so as not to waste your time and energy."
Shen Shanshan laughed along, continuing to tease the male students and attributing their previous setbacks to bad luck today.
"Hmph, we're not going to admit defeat! If we're going to fight, we'll fight until a winner is decided. Even if we lose in the end, we'll accept it wholeheartedly. We'll never be the kind of cowards who slink away before the fight even starts and dare not fight!"
Cheng Hui was clearly unaffected by Shen Shanshan's words. He retorted without backing down, displaying a determination to fight his opponent to the death.
"In that case, let's start the battle! We'll go first!"
Yan Meili said without hesitation.
As soon as she finished speaking, she swiftly picked up the playing cards from the table, her movements practiced and efficient. Immediately, the others followed suit, and the game officially began.
You take one card, I take one card; the cards keep flipping and changing, and the atmosphere gradually becomes tense.
However, not long after, Yan Meili played all the cards in her hand at an astonishing speed, the whole process was smooth and efficient.
Without a doubt, the outcome of this card game has been decided—the female student has once again won a resounding victory!
"Haha, are you convinced now? Hurry up and crawl under the table, crawl under the table!"
Upon seeing this, the students shouted excitedly and automatically made way for Cheng Hui and Li Bin.
Faced with the jeers of the crowd, Cheng Hui stood up helplessly, a bitter smile on his face:
"Alright, a bet's a bet, we admit we're just not as good! But Zhao Zhaodi, you're way too good! You've really made us guys lose face today! Is it because we're not smart enough? Looks like we'll have to work on our brains and improve our intelligence when we get back!"
As he spoke, he couldn't resist making a humorous self-deprecating remark, then obediently bent down, preparing to crawl under the table.
Just then, a burst of laughter erupted from the crowd.
Yan Meili laughed so hard she almost fell over, saying between laughs:
"Taking some brain-boosting supplements temporarily probably won't help. To truly improve your IQ, you have to put in a lot of effort on a regular basis!"
These words undoubtedly added even more joy to the atmosphere at the scene.
The fun little game of crawling under the table is finally over! As if by magic, Cheng Hui and Wang Bin quickly and nimbly reached out and tore off the ridiculous "beards" stuck to their cheeks.
"Time to eat! Time to eat!"
Yan Meili laughed so hard she almost fell over, as if she had witnessed the funniest scene in the world. While laughing, she warmly greeted everyone.
Upon hearing this, everyone rushed to the sink, and in the blink of an eye, a long queue formed by the sink.
Everyone was eager to wash their hands and then rush to the main room where the delicious food was served.
"Zhao Zhaodi, all of you classmates, please sit at this table. Eat whatever you like, don't be shy!"
Zhao Yuan said with a big smile.
"Okay, thanks Dad!"
Zhao Zhaodi nodded obediently in response.
"Come on, let's sit here! Tonight, we can do whatever we want. Let's pretend that my grandparents, parents and dad aren't home. Hahaha, we're in charge today!"
Zhao Zhaodi waved her arms excitedly, inviting her classmates to sit around the large round table.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yuan and his other family members sat at a slightly smaller eight-immortal table next to them.
Just as everyone had settled into their seats, Li Bin, quick as a flash, was the first to pick up his chopsticks, grab a fragrant piece of food, and put it in his mouth.
After chewing a few times, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"Wow! Wow! Grandpa's cooking skills are truly amazing! This tastes absolutely incredible!"
Before he finished speaking, the others, unable to contain their cravings, eagerly reached for their chopsticks to snatch the food from the plates. In an instant, the table was bustling with activity, filled with exclamations of praise.
After all, these are all seventeen or eighteen-year-old young people, full of youthful energy! Their fighting power is simply beyond imagination.
