Chapter Thirty-One: Carefree in the Casino

  "Teddy, what are we going to do tonight? We can't just keep dancing like this?" The dancer in the dance pool whispered coquettishly in Sulsoo's ear.

  Sulsoo was currently enjoying the continuous massage on his chest, and according to his idea, this dance should not stop for a moment. Unfortunately, Silsi didn't want to repeat the same steps in the ballroom every day. After her voice fell, Sulsoo leaned his chin on Silsi's soft shoulder and said passionately:

  "Xixi, tonight after we finish dancing, let's go out and have some midnight snacks. Then we'll check into a room at the Tianyuan Hotel and have some fun."

  "Oh no..."

  Si Si pretended to be shy and softly called out, but her chest still tightly pressed against Su Er Shou's as she said in a low voice:

  "Teddy, why are you thinking about that? Look at the time now, we can't possibly dance for a few hours and then go out to eat supper, right? Or I'll accompany you to play on the second floor today?"

  "Isn't the second floor a casino? I don't have enough assets to play a few rounds up there." Su Rongshou said with some self-awareness.

  The dancing girl, Sisi, twisted in his arms and gazed at him with a smile: "Who told you to go play big? Isn't there baccarat and roulette in the main hall? If we want to play, we should play those."

  "Play those, I can barely play a few rounds, but we have to keep the money for tonight's hotel room, just in case we lose everything, where would we go? You know what I mean...... Hehehe..."

  Su Rong seems more interested in going to bed with Si Si, even with the temptation of gambling, he still remembers to prepare the money for opening a room.

  The dance ended, and the slender, delicate hand pulled Su Ruo's large hand towards the second floor. Xu Fei slowly stood up, and after settling the bill at the bar, he also walked upstairs. Unlike the noisy first floor, the second floor, although a casino, did not seem as frantic as it was portrayed on TV.

  Xu Fei swept a glance over the entire casino hall, outside of which should be an ordinary casino, with hundreds of gamblers distributed among twenty-something gaming tables, not looking crowded at all. Su Ershou and that dancer named Sisi were playing at a Sic Bo table with two ordinary-looking gamblers, while Mo Sifen and Liu Hansheng were nowhere to be seen in the hall, apparently having entered the other casino room guarded by two burly men.

  Xu Fei exchanged ten big chips for fifty small chips and five big chips in the hall. He slowly paced back and forth in the hall, watching for a while before choosing a dice table closest to Suliu Shou and sitting down.

  "1, 2, 3, six points small, banker takes all..."

  Xu Fei had just sat down when the croupier called out that several thousand dollars' worth of bets had been placed on the table. Xu Fei, who had never gambled before, sat there carefully observing without placing a bet himself.

  "Four, four, six, fourteen points big, eat small lose big."

  "1. At 6 o'clock in the evening, eat big and compensate for small."

  Xu Fei studied it for a while and finally understood the principle of this dice gambling, betting big or small and betting on points was the gameplay, but Xu Fei's ears also heard the faint sound of machinery coming from inside the dice cup occasionally, he secretly smiled to himself, with this kind of gambling these gamblers probably didn't have any chance of winning.

  "Place your bets! Place your bets! The dice are about to be rolled." The croupier's voice was low and calm as he glanced over the five or six gamblers seated at the table.

  "Whoosh...whoosh...whoosh..."

  The croupier was slowly shaking the dice cup, and Xu Fei quickly glanced at the bets on the table. One person had bet big with five small chips, three people had bet small with nearly two large chips each, and the last one had inexplicably bet a large chip on leopard, which paid 1:50, but under the control of the croupier and the mechanism, this opportunity was almost zero.

  "Bang!"

  Xu Fei bet five small chips directly on top of the big one for the first time.

  "Big loss for small gain."

  ……

  Xu Fei took advantage of his sharp eyes and quick hands and feet, and slowly started playing at the gambling table. Occasionally, he would lose a couple of rounds, then show an unhappy expression.

  Sul-soo, who was not far behind him, seemed to be having a streak of bad luck, losing over 20 taels in less than two hours at the card table, and was so angry that he cursed loudly in his seat.

  Su Rong's self-control was still pretty good. Seeing that he had already lost, he stood up from his seat and walked away, saying to the dancing girl next to him:

  "Stop it, I've only got a few bucks left on me. If I keep losing, I won't even have enough for midnight snacks."

  "Oh dear! Teddy, your luck is turning around now, keep playing and you'll definitely win it back." Silky said sweetly to Sulsoo.

  "Will we win it back?" Su Ruoju said in a low voice with his head bowed and took a deep breath.

  He looked at the dancer Sisi's face and suddenly became somewhat disheartened and regretful. He smiled bitterly, shook his head and said:

  "My mom once said that the people who can deceive the most in this world are women. I didn't believe it at first, but now I think that even though we've had a few interactions and you may not like me, you still wouldn't make up some excuse to deceive me, right?"

  Su Rong's face turned gloomy as he looked at Si Si, whose face suddenly became extremely embarrassed. He let out a deep sigh and continued to speak:

  "You should also know that our manager doesn't like people who gamble, and I've always been strict with myself not to gamble. But because of you, I still broke my rule and gambled once. Unfortunately, if you want to make money from gambling, haha... Look at the people here, how many can actually win money and leave? You kept making me follow your bets, without even caring whether the cards in my hand were good or bad. Even though it made me uncomfortable, I didn't mind losing some money for your sake. But you knew that I only had a few hundred yuan on me, which was meant to be spent on dinner and hotel rooms for us, yet you still wouldn't let go. It seems that I, Sul Soo, am indeed arrogant. Miss Silky doesn't think much of someone like me after all. In that case, Sul Soo won't dare to accompany you anymore."

  "Teddy, this..."

  The dancing girl, Sisi, looked at Su Ruo with a somewhat frightened expression and shouted. Seeing Su Ruo's icy face, she didn't dare to continue speaking.

  "Miss Sisi, what's going on? Has this kid been messing with you?" A few onlookers who were watching the scene asked in a cold tone as they approached Sulsoo, seeing Sisi's face turn red and white.

  "Nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong! Mr. Su just lost money and isn't feeling happy about it, you all go back to work."

  Su Lushou gave Si Si a cold glance, turned around and walked downstairs. Xue Fei quickly gathered his chips and rushed to the exchange counter to exchange them for silver dollars. This round of small gambling had unexpectedly turned his ten silver dollars into more than thirty. If he wanted to make a living like this, coming to play a few rounds every day would absolutely be enough to support himself.
