Chapter 128: Let Me Do It

What arrived weren’t just people, but also props.

Li Du had been in America for some time, but he hadn’t attended many parties. As he didn’t have friends in school, he never had the chance to do this.

Thus, the activities played during parties in America were unfamiliar to him, including a Mud Monkey Competition.

But once the props came, he could more or less figure out what they would be doing during the competition.

Someone had brought a large-sized inflatable pool, the kind that appeared commonly in TV dramas. It would be able to function as a pool in the backyard after being filled with water.

The ones that people normally used were smaller, but this one was huge, covering about 400 to 500 square feet.

After inflating the pool, the guys poured water into it. A truck drove over, and there was someone else shoveling dirt in. With some mixing, the pool had turned into a swamp.

Seeing this, Li Du sucked in a breath of cool air and asked, ”Hey, will everyone be fighting each other in this game?”

Sophie’s reaction made him less anxious. She shook her head fervently and said, ”How could that be? It’s not good to fight. Everyone will be just competing for a ball, that’s all.”

”Huh?!” Li Du was stunned.

Sophie explained, ”Later, the participants will draw papers. The people who draw the Monkey paper will jump in, and then people will tease them with a leather ball until they manage to snatch it.”

Li Du laughed bitterly. The Americans were creative.

With the arrangements done, the doctors and nurses from the hospital came to the backyard. With that, the party could really begin.

As this was a donation campaign for the community hospital, the doctors and nurses had to be the main participants.

All the doctors and nurses had to draw lots; even the ladies had to do it.

The game would be played in several sets, with four monkeys in each set. There was a tall wooden chair in the center of the swamp, kind of like the umpire chair during tennis matches.

Someone would sit on the chair to control the ball with a line. The mud monkeys would try their best to snatch the ball.

After understanding the rules, Li Du stood at one side to wait for the game to start.

The scale of the hospital was large, with many employees. Over 60 people had attended the event. They drew papers from a box like lucky draws; whoever had the paper with the monkey would be the Mud Monkey.

Sophie picked out a piece of paper and ran nervously to Li Du. ”Help me take a look at what picture it is.”

Li Du took the paper and made fun of her, ”What, you don’t dare to look?”

Sophie’s long eyelashes fluttered, and she said with unease, ”I dare, but I don’t want to see. God bless me, I don’t want to be the Mud Monkey.”

As she spoke, she took out a cross from her well-endowed chest.

Li Du opened his hands and glanced at the paper, and then wore a shocked expression. He looked at Sophie with eyes full of pity.

The female doctor’s face flushed red instantly. She heaved a heavy sigh, and said dispiritedly, ”No! Is my luck that bad? It’s just the first set, and I got the Mud Monkey?”

Li Du said, ”Smile a little.”

Sophie shook her head and said, ”I can’t.”

”Smile a little, and I’ll give you a surprise.”

Hearing that, Sophie smiled. ”I’m not the Mud Monkey? You’re playing with me, aren’t you!”

Li Du turned over the paper. Nothing was written on it. ”A girl who likes to smile generally doesn’t have bad luck—see, your luck isn’t so bad.”

The four who picked the Mud Monkey walked out. Coincidentally, it was two men and two women.
