Chapter 619 - A Layman (1/2)
Li Yong introduces himself, “My name is Yong.”
“My name is Alice & Maple Leaf Love.”
“Oh my! Your name is so long.” Li Yong lets out an exaggerating shriek.
“Then you can call me Maple Leaf Love.”
“Why not Alice?”
“Because Alice is my mother’s name.”
“Okay, Maple Leaf Love, I think God must have arranged for us to meet here today. And I am happy to meet you.” Li Yong begins to confess his feelings naturally and unpretentiously.
Maple Leaf Love asks with a smile, “Having lost all my money, I was going to walk back home. It might take me a night to walk from here to my home! I was going to punish myself. But, do you know why I asked you for money?”
Li Yong asks in a very cooperative manner, “Why?”
“Because I find a charming smell on you. And I especially like this smell.”
Li Yong raises his arm, puts it in front of his nose, and smells it, only to find that there is no smell at all!
He says happily, “I also smelled a particularly charming smell on you. We are the same.”
“Is that so? What a destiny!” Maple Leaf Love smiles innocently and purely like a sunny flower.
They two walk shoulder to shoulder into the casino, joking and laughing along the way. Soon, they are inside the casino.
A staff member with a bright smile does the introduction to them, saying that the casino on the seventh floor is a general one, whose entry requires at least two thousand redeemed chips. The entry for the one on the eighth floor requires at least 20,000 dollars in chips. And the entry into the ninth floor requires at least 200,000 dollars in chips.
As for the tenth floor, only members can enter it. And they don’t entertain strangers.
Li Yong takes out his bank card, temporarily redeems one million dollars in chips, and takes Maple Leaf Love directly to the ninth floor.
“This is where I lost all my money just now.” Maple Leaf Love points to a big, exquisite, and round table, sighing.
“You have to win back your money where you lost it.” Li Yong takes her and strides over, making her sit on a chair that was vacated just now. Maple Leaf Love refuses and insists on asking Li Yong to take a seat.
In the end, Li Yong convinces Maple Leaf Love to sit down on the seat. While he stands behind her like a personal bodyguard.
Li Yong puts all the one million dollars’ chips on the table and says indifferently, “You can have fun as you like.”
“What if I lose?” Maple Leaf Love looks at Li Yong somewhat worriedly.
“If you lose, it will be on me. If you win, the money will be yours.” Li Yong smiles indifferently. Their exchange attracts some people around. They can understand Maple Leaf Love’s words. However, as for what Li Yong said, they can’t understand it at all.
If it weren’t for the fact that Maple Leaf Love is wearing a translator transcoder helping translate between the language of M Country and Huaxia language in her ear, she wouldn’t have been able to communicate with Li Yong.
Maple Leaf Love says with a smile, “You are so nice to me. If only I had a boyfriend like you.” Then she pushed a thousand dollars in chips up. At this table, the starting point is a thousand dollars in chips.
Li Yong says cheerfully, “It’s too little. Go up to one hundred thousand dollars.”
Maple Leaf Love takes another look at Li Yong and feels that he is getting more and more charming and handsome. She hesitates only for a moment and bets on one hundred thousand dollars in chips. Anyway, it is all Li Yong’s money. If Li Yong wants her to gamble with a million dollars, she will do as he says.
“One hundred thousand dollars.” Seeing these two young people start gambling heavily as soon as they come up, the surrounding gamblers once again look at them. These people bet with at most only 10,000 dollars to 20,000 dollars. Li Yong bets with 100,000 dollars, immediately overshadowing all of them.
They watch on the side cheerfully with sympathy in their eyes as if they know that Li Yong will lose.
In the end, Li Yong loses, which is as they expected.
One hundred thousand dollars are all at once collected by the dealer. Maple Leaf Love stares at those chips and sighs repeatedly.
Then here comes the next round. Maple Leaf Love again pushes up a thousand dollars in chips for fear of losing. She can’t bear to bet with too much money. If it were her money, she wouldn’t care. But it is all Li Yong’s money. She and Li Yong met each other just now. Except for their looks, they know nothing about each other. She feels so embarrassed about making him lose that much money.
But Li Yong laughs again, “One hundred thousand dollars. We must at least bet with one hundred thousand dollars.”
Maple Leaf Love lightly smiles and advises him, “With such a huge bet, we will soon lose it all. We can slowly lose it.”
Her words draw a burst of laughter from the surrounding gamblers. No gamblers dare to say that they will lose it all when they first start gambling. By coming here, they are either fascinated or want to win some money.
If they knew they would surely lose, they wouldn’t have come here. No one coming here to gamble doesn’t want to win money.
Li Yong faintly asks rhetorically, which is the mentality of many gamblers, “What if we win?”
Maple Leaf Love ponders on it. They have lost more than two million dollars in a row. So the chances of winning this time should be higher. She firmly believes that no one will be unlucky all the time, which is the same as no one can win all the time.
So, she pushes up another 100,000 dollars in chips. Feeling that those chips are heavy at first, she feels relaxed after pushing them up. It’s like fishing. To catch a big fish, you have to refill the bait.
The second round soon begins.
