Chapter 536: Chapter 202: Qin Shiqing’s Flicking Divine Skill! (Part 2)

"Besides, you also need to be good at employing strategies. For example, in this hand, I have the Three of Diamonds, and I have two choices: I could play a flush with five cards, or I could play three of a kind."

"I choose to play three of a kind first because I don’t have any deuces, only one Ace of Spades. In the best case, I can draw out all four deuces. This is called ’throwing bricks to attract jade’ and ’watching the fires burning across the river’!"

"Heh heh, see, I was right, I drew out all four deuces, now my Ace of Spades can control the game, and I’ve got a chance to win! Now I’ll use ’rest to counter labor,’ followed by ’muddling the waters to catch fish,’ ’pincer attack,’ ’turning the tables,’ ’trojan horse,’ ’turn the tables again,’ and finally finish with ’house cleaning’!"

Su Zelin chattered endlessly, winning the round in one go, leaving Qin Shiqing speechless.

It’s just a game of Big Two, yet you’re acting like it’s the Warring States period.

Moreover, isn’t there a tactic that doesn’t belong here?

Don’t think I haven’t read the Thirty-Six Stratagems; that’s definitely not one of them!

"Let me try two hands!"

The girl eagerly stepped up.

"Oh dear, you’re so dumb, you can’t play a pair at this time!"

"The others definitely have three of a kind, how could you play like this!"

"The opponent’s cards are crushing, if you don’t play the highest card to suppress the next player, you’ll end up with one less card when finishing!"

"Qin Shiqing, you’re not dumb, right? You’re a top student at Zhejiang University, how can you play cards so poorly? You’re bad and still love to play!"

"..."

The armchair strategist babbled on and on beside her, making Qin Shiqing annoyed to the point of distraction, desperately wanting to shut that big mouth of his, but couldn’t find a suitable tool at the moment.

The more she got mocked, the more annoyed she became, the more annoyed she got, the more chaotic her mindset became, and the more chaotic her mindset was, the more confused her thinking became. Even with good cards, she inexplicably lost, and finally, the girl put down the mouse in frustration, saying, "I’m not playing anymore. You talk too much; not even my mom is as naggy as you!"

"Playing so poorly and not letting me talk? I’m going to talk anyway, bleh bleh bleh~~~"

Su Zelin stuck out his tongue at her.

The sharp, long tongue moved in and out of his mouth like a restless, squirming little snake.

Infuriated, the girl stretched out her jade-like hand and gave it a flick, and the pained long tongue retracted swiftly, no longer daring to show off.

"Gentlemen argue with words, not actions, Qin Shiqing, how could you do that?"

"I’m not a gentleman, I’m a lady!"

"What kind of lady flicks others’ tongues? You’re just a wild child!"

"Your tongue was being too mouthy, what’s wrong with flicking it? Next time, I’ll flick your head!"

"You dare to try it!"

"Try it then, I’ll flick flick flick!"

"Can’t stand it anymore. Don’t think you’re the only one with a finger flick trick, check out my One Yang Finger, I’ll poke poke poke!"

"..."

The two experts sparred in the cramped room, engaging in a clash of finger skills, their energies interweaving.

"Slap slap slap..."

"Pop pop pop..."

Listening to the roughhousing sounds coming from her son’s room, Zhao Lixia couldn’t help but smile knowingly as she watched TV outside in the living room.

Looks like pulling that internet cable was worth it.

After a while of playful wrestling, the intense battle left both of their hair and clothes a bit disheveled.

"Stop, I admit defeat!"

Su Zelin proactively raised the white flag.

If it went on like this, Qin Shiqing wouldn’t just be flicking his head.

This duel between finger flick and One Yang Finger ultimately ended with the former coming out on top.

"Hmph, let’s see if you’ll dare to stick out your tongue in front of me again!"

Qin Shiqing, having won, felt a bit smug and even made a V for victory gesture.

The slacker thought to himself, don’t get too full of yourself, I won’t stick out my tongue in front of you, I’ll do it behind your back instead.

I don’t believe you can find out!

But on a side note, he’d been caught peeking at her legs from behind when she wore a skirt before.

Does she have eyes on her back?

This matter had long puzzled Su Zelin.

"Qin Shiqing, your birthday is the day after tomorrow, is there any gift or wish you have?"

The slacker leaned back in his computer chair, casually asked with his hands behind his head.

The girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Hmm, I don’t want any gifts, nor do I want to go on a vacation."

An 18th birthday at the seaside is indeed a beautiful experience, but Qin Shiqing felt satisfied having that memory once, and didn’t want to trouble Su Zelin again.

"Well, how about this, let’s meet up with Xiaoyanzi and Lu Haoran in the morning, go play in the suburbs, a picnic or something, and go shopping in the afternoon. You and Lu Haoran will have to be our chauffeurs, and of course, help carry the stuff!"

"A picnic is fine, but isn’t shopping boring?"

Su Zelin rolled his eyes.

"Who cares about you, I just like shopping!"

Qin Shiqing snorted.

Okay, fine, I’ll just lounge in the car with air conditioning at each store entrance.

Su Zelin thought to himself with a salty fish mindset.

"I have one more requirement!"

As if she had guessed his thoughts, Qin Shiqing added, "We have to use bicycles!"

"Why?"

Su Zelin felt a bit dizzy, "Why not drive if we have a car? It’s so much more comfortable."

"I just like the feeling of cycling, riding into the sunrise with the wind, isn’t that wonderful?"

Qin Shiqing raised her cherry lips proudly.

Xiaolinzi’s passenger seat might have had more girls than just me sit in it, just the other day I found a long hair under the seat, a length and color that’s neither mine nor Huang Panpan’s.

Scumbag!

Thinking of this, Qin Shiqing puffed up with anger, her cheeks swelling like a pufferfish.

But at least, the bicycle’s rear seat belongs only to me!

"Into the sunrise, my foot! It’s July; we’ll die of heat. You think it’s a spring outing!"

Su Zelin complained.

"Just bicycles are allowed, are you going or not!"

The girl’s attitude was firm.

"Fine, fine, you’re the birthday girl, you decide. Oh, can you stop flicking your fingers?"

Su Zelin was a bit afraid of her finger-flicking; his head indeed felt a bit sore from it.

Despite my One Yang Finger poking for ages, Qin Shiqing seemed perfectly fine.

It doesn’t make sense; all my pen-spinning practice is for nothing?

"Hmph, that’s more like it!"

Qin Shiqing finally felt satisfied.

Staying in Su Zelin’s room until after ten, realizing it was getting late, Qin Shiqing got up to leave.

Before she walked out the door, the slacker’s eyes quickly glanced at the pair of well-proportioned, fair legs under his childhood friend’s skirt.

"Oppa, you’re being lecherous again!"

Qin Shiqing threw out a line without turning her head.

Su Zelin was utterly baffled.

Does she really have a third eye on her back?

But where could that eye possibly be placed?

Or does Qin Shiqing possess a strong sixth sense?

Speaking of which, my childhood friend is indeed quite sensitive.

That must be it.

"Shiqing, heading home?"

"Yes, Auntie, you should rest early too."

"Hehe, got it. Your parents aren’t free tomorrow; why not come over for dinner? Whatever you want to eat, Auntie will make it for you."

"Auntie, anything’s fine; whatever you cook is delicious."

"Aww, such a sweet-talker you are!"

"..."

Qin Shiqing headed downstairs, going home.

In the room, Su Zelin looked at his right index finger.

Me, Su, practices pen spinning diligently every day, deeply skilled, yet why did my One Yang Finger lose to the finger flick trick?

After pondering for a long time, the slacker finally found the answer.

The basics should be fine, maybe my finger technique just needs a bit more work!

With that thought, Su Zelin locked the door.

Hmm, better find some tutorials on finger techniques for further study.

Next time, I won’t lose to Qin Shiqing’s finger flick trick.

Dare to flick my head again, I’ll poke until she kneels and begs for mercy!
