Chapter 191 Hide and Seek

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Li Luo looked at the only turtle card left in his hand, took a deep breath, and silently accepted the fact that he had lost again.

Yan Zhusheng, who was the first to play his cards, silently picked up the lipstick, looked around, and asked Ying Chanxi and Xu Youyu for instructions. The expression on her face seemed to be saying "how should I draw it this time".

Li Luo folded his arms across his chest and closed his eyes as if accepting his fate.

At this point there was almost no clean spot on his face.

I don’t know what’s going on.

When it comes to drawing the turtle card, which is purely based on luck, he seems to be born to be a little more unlucky than others.

It has been just over two hours since I finished dinner, and I have played twenty or thirty games in total, each lasting a few minutes on average.

Logically speaking, on average, each of the six people would probably lose four or five games.

But he lost more than ten games, and his face was almost painted red by them.

The only thing that comforted him was that the other girls didn't escape completely either. At least everyone had bruises on their faces, so it wasn't too bad.

Especially if Zhao Rongjun won and the losers were Ying Chanxi and the other three, Li Luo would take the lipstick without hesitation and use it himself.

Zhao Rongjun was also happy about this. He handed in the lipstick obediently and breathed a sigh of relief.

Now it was Yan Zhusheng's turn to take action. Seeing that there was almost no clean spot on Li Luo's face, he became hesitant for a moment.

Finally, Xu Youyu came up with a solution. He said with a smile, "His eyelids are quite clean. Look, he has his eyes closed. Just draw an eye on him."

Li Luo: “…”

Hearing Xu Youyu's words, Li Luo's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

Hoping to accept the loss, he closed his eyes and resigned himself to his fate, letting Yan Zhusheng manipulate him.

"Don't move." Yan Zhusheng pinched Li Luo's chin with one hand and held the lipstick with the other hand. She put her face very close to Li Luo's eyelids and painted on them seriously.

Ying Chanxi, who was standing next to him, stared carefully at the distance between the two of them, his eyes occasionally falling on Yan Zhusheng's fingers pinching Li Luo's chin, and he felt that he had learned a lot.

"Are you done?" Li Luo asked helplessly.

"It's almost done." Yan Zhusheng frowned, "It's not easy to paint on the eyelids. If it's too heavy, I'm afraid it will hurt you."

"Then I have to thank you for showing mercy?"

"You're welcome."

Yan Zhusheng was a little impatient with him for talking all the time and causing his face to move all the time, so he pinched his face so that he couldn't speak, and said, "Be quiet."

This time, Li Luo was suddenly speechless.

Xu Youyu next to him chuckled and fell on the sofa, laughing.

Only Ying Chanxi stared at Yan Zhusheng's hands, and his hands that were supporting the sofa were slightly clenched: "Zhusheng, it's almost done, no need to draw it so carefully."

"Oh." Yan Zhusheng nodded, finally stopped what he was doing, and nodded with a little satisfaction.

Li Luo opened his eyes and patted Yan Zhusheng's other hand speechlessly, signaling her to let go quickly.

Only then did Yan Zhusheng realize what was happening and let go of his hand, freeing his mouth.

But before he could say anything, Xu Youyu beside him urged: "Why are you opening your eyes? Close them quickly. I haven't even looked at it carefully. See how the painting is."

Li Luo: "...Don't go too far!"

"You talk too much." Ying Chanxi took action directly, following suit and pinched his mouth, and covered Li Luo's eyes with his other hand, carefully appreciating Yan Zhusheng's paintings.

After being bullied by these three guys in turn, Li Luo finally let go and sat back on the sofa angrily: "Hurry up! Next one! You all wait!"

Unfortunately, the next one has nothing to do with them.

The winner was Zhao Rongjun and the loser was Qiao Xinyan.

"Uh..." Looking at Qiao Xinyan who had already admitted defeat and handed over the lipstick, Zhao Rongjun's hands trembled. He looked at Li Luo for help and tried to transfer power again.

But Ying Chanxi had already quickly inserted himself between the two of them, looking at him with a smile: "Zhao Rongjun, can you please not always let Li Luo paint? How can you feel like you are not participating in this?"

"I feel like I'm participating..." Zhao Rongjun muttered softly, "Besides, I asked Li Luo to draw it just now, and you didn't refuse..."

"It's happened so many times, you should at least draw once." Ying Chanxi pulled Qiao Xinyan to his side, pressed her shoulders, and said to Zhao Rongjun, "Is our Xinyan so scary? Just draw casually."

Qiao Xinyan already knew Zhao Rongjun's personality. He would be socially anxious when he saw a girl, so she also smiled and followed Ying Chanxi to make a fuss: "I don't mind. What do you have to be afraid of?"

Being forced into the corner of the sofa by two girls, Zhao Rongjun trembled and blinked at Li Luo frantically, sending out distress signals as if they were free.

But Li Luo just laughed, crossed his arms, and sat aside to watch the show: "Just draw if I ask you to. Don't make it seem like you're being punished because you lost."

"I feel like this is a punishment for me..." Zhao Rongjun's mouth twitched, "Why not let Qiao Xinyan draw me instead."

"You have to accept the loss if you want to. Don't break the rules." Li Luo urged, "Hurry up, are you still a man?"

Seeing that even his good brothers were no longer willing to help him, Zhao Rongjun had no choice but to grit his teeth, close his eyes resigned to his fate, pinch the lipstick with trembling hands, and move closer to Qiao Xinyan's face.

"You're going to poke my eyes." Qiao Xinyan dodged with a helpless look, "At least open your eyes and aim." "Ah... sorry, sorry." Zhao Rongjun quickly opened his eyes, but did not dare to look at her directly, so he had to turn his face sideways, glancing at her from the corner of his eye from time to time. After confirming the direction, he lightly stroked Qiao Xinyan's face.

"You really are kind to women." Ying Chanxi glanced at the scratches on Qiao Xinyan's face and immediately clicked his tongue twice, "Look at Li Luo, he doesn't know how to show mercy at all."

As she spoke, she pointed to the pig head painted on her face.

"On the gaming field, there is no distinction between men and women, only between winning and losing." Li Luo said seriously, "I was showing respect for you."

As soon as these words were spoken, after the next round of cards, an eye was also drawn on the eyelid of Li Luo's other eye.

The person who took action was Xu Youyu, who made this suggestion.

But after this round, Xu Youyu said, "Your face is all painted up. Let's play with something else. Wash off the lipstick first."

"Would you like to take a photo as a souvenir?" Ying Chanxi raised his hand.

Yan Zhusheng nodded repeatedly, while Li Luo rolled his eyes. Not only was he pulled to take a photo, but he was also standing in the center position with lipstick all over his face, and his face could not be recognized at all.

After taking a few photos with Ying Chanxi's Polaroid camera, Li Luo put away the playing cards and asked, "What are we going to do next?"

"Let's play hide and seek!" Xu Youyu suggested enthusiastically.

"Hide and seek? There's nowhere to hide in this room, right?" Li Luo looked around and thought it was boring.

But Xu Youyu took out a blindfold from somewhere and said, "It's not just hide-and-seek. The person being caught has to wear a blindfold."

"You're playing with this pretty extravagantly?"

Xu Youyu didn't bother to pay attention to him. After rolling his eyes at him, he continued, "The person who is caught should wear a blindfold and wait for 30 seconds. The person who is hiding should choose a place within the specified time and then cannot leave the place."

“But the person hiding can adjust his posture while keeping one foot still.”

"The person who gets caught will continue to apply lipstick and then take over the position of the person who caught him."

"This feels really interesting." Ying Chanxi clapped his hands and said, "Let's give it a try."

"Okay." Li Luo stood up and patted his butt, "I'll go wash my face first."

Taking Zhao Rongjun into the bathroom of the master bedroom, Li Luo took a long time to wash off the lipstick on her face.

But even so, he still felt as if there was a layer of light red on his face, as if it could not be washed off no matter how hard he washed.

"Why can you play games with them so naturally?" Zhao Rongjun sighed, "I feel so tired."

"You have too many filters for the opposite sex in your mind." Li Luo glanced at him and then said, "But in fact, we are all human beings. Why can you have fun with boys but not with girls? In the final analysis, it is because you think too much of them."

"You are too casual!" Zhao Rongjun tried to refute, "After all, men and women should not touch each other... this... in short, it's not good to be so casual, right?"

"What you said makes sense." Li Luo smiled, "But there is a limit to this kind of thing. At least this is not a reason for you not to even dare to draw with lipstick."

“Well, I am indeed nervous…”

"Don't treat girls as girls. First of all, treat them as ordinary people." Li Luo said, "They are people, students, your classmates, other people's children, and friends."

"Everyone has many identities, but you care most about gender distinction."

"But in fact, everyone has many other identity labels. Don't deliberately magnify one, just treat it normally."

"But I don't expect you to change just because of a few words from me. Just be yourself and take your time."

Li Luo patted Zhao Rongjun on the shoulder and encouraged him with a smile, "At least today was good. At least you were able to say a few more words while playing cards. You talked a lot more than when you played ball in the afternoon."

After giving their good brother some advice, the two of them walked out of the living room.

Ying Chanxi and the other three quickly washed their faces, and the six of them gathered in the living room again, defining the range for playing hide-and-seek, which could only be in the living room.

Then the six people chose the first victim by matching black and white.

"Why do I feel like my luck is not good tonight?" Li Luo took the eye mask handed to him by Xu Youyu with a speechless look on his face.

"Accept the reality, young man." Xu Youyu said with a smile, "After we hide, count down to three minutes. If you don't catch anyone within three minutes, you lose."

“Why didn’t this rule exist just now?”

"Just thought of it, come on."

"Heh." Li Luo stood in the middle of the living room, put on a blindfold, took a deep breath, and suddenly shouted, "Come on! Hurry up!"

"You scared me to death!" Ying Chanxi was startled by his sudden shout. He kicked him angrily and quickly found a place to hide.

Thirty seconds passed quickly.

The other five people found their seats.

The phone with a set alarm on it rang on the coffee table, reminding Li Luo that the game was about to begin.

"Here I am." Li Luo, wearing a blindfold, laughed, and the memory palace in his mind began to work, perfectly replicating the scene of the living room in his mind one to one.

I can't beat you by drawing the turtle.

How can you lose this game of hide and seek?
