Xiaozhu's mouth opened slightly in astonishment, "Is that so impressive?"
Xiaoyun sighed, "I used to think card counting was just a legend, but today I actually saw it."
Indeed, for the next half hour, Xiaokai and Ningyuan made no mistakes, both folding when necessary. The four decks were reshuffled five times, but their winnings were purely due to luck.
However, Xiaozhu noticed that Ningyuan remained relaxed, while Xiaokai's forehead was getting increasingly sweaty. It was clear that this was taking a toll on Xiaokai.
Indeed, Xiaokai slapped the table and said, "Alright, I concede in the first round."
"Very well," Ningyuan stood up elegantly and flashed a charming smile at Xiaoyun, "Miss Xiaoyun, I will certainly earn the right to pursue you."
"Brother Kai, he's cheating," Xiaoguan said in Xiaokai's mind, "He can see through the cards, it's not just memory."
"I know," Xiaokai sighed, "If it wasn't for seeing through, how could he remember so clearly and remain so calm? My head is already spinning, if I continue to compete with him, I'm afraid I'll collapse from exhaustion."
"It's okay," Xiaoguan said angrily, "We still have a trump card up our sleeve, and it's unbeatable."
Just then, Ningyuan looked over assertively, "Yan Xiaokai, state your second challenge."
Xiaokai took a deep breath, exuding confidence as he said, "Alright, let's see who can draw a perfect circle with one hand and a perfect square with the other!"
The entire yacht fell silent.
Xiaozhu's eyes lit up, and there was a strange gleam in Xiaoyun's eyes.
"One hand draws a circle, the other draws a square!" Ningyuan was taken aback.
Mr. Dao, speaking Chinese stiffly, exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, drawing a circle with one hand and a square with the other, is that even possible?"
"Of course!" Xiaokai looked at Ningyuan with pride, "What do you think? Shocked, scared, unable? Do you want me to show you what multitasking really means?"
"Oh, you misunderstood," Ningyuan suddenly smiled, "I was just surprised. I thought only I could draw a circle with one hand and a square with the other, but I didn't expect you could too."
"You're just bragging," Xiaokai rudely raised his middle finger, "There's an international referee present, it would be very embarrassing if you were caught lying."
Ningyuan smiled faintly, clapped his hands, and immediately someone brought pens and paper. Xiaokai noticed that Ningyuan didn't use a ballpoint pen but a calligraphy brush, along with an inkstone filled with freshly ground ink.
The skill and artistry of calligraphy with brush and rice paper, compared to the regular pen and paper, were vastly different. Xiaokai swallowed, muttering silently: "A decadent aristocrat feigning sophistication."
However, Xiaozhu and Xiaoyun were already curious and took a step forward, their gazes fixed on the rice paper.
Ningyuan laid the pure white rice paper out, held a brush in each hand, the movements were standard and accurate. He closed his eyes, using the same rhythm and speed, but with different strokes, he drew a perfect square with one hand and a perfect circle with the other. Not only did he start and end the shapes simultaneously, but the size of the two shapes were almost identical, and the lines were even more precise than what tools could produce. The ink flowed richly, penetrating the paper, showing deep expertise in calligraphy.
Xiaokai stood by, stunned and wide-eyed.
"My goodness! He actually drew them." Xiaoguan exclaimed in Xiaokai's mind, "Talent beyond compare, truly extraordinary! Brother Kai, this person's talent is exceedingly high, truly a once-in-five centuries genius!"
Now, this genius slowly opened his eyes and smiled slightly at Xiaokai, "How was that?"
Xiao Kai lowered his head with a defeated and dejected expression, "I lost."
He didn't want to admit defeat, but in the end, despite everyone being able to draw, when it came to the details and the standard, Xiao Kai couldn't match Ning Yuan's level no matter how hard he tried.
Ning Yuan looked at Xiao Kai disdainfully, "You tried your best, but you are simply not capable of winning against me. Now, propose your third competition."
Xiao Kai looked at Xiao Zhu and then at Xiao Yun. Both beautiful women looked at him with concern, obviously, no one believed in him anymore.
"What's wrong, can't think of anything?" Ning Yuan looked at Xiao Kai mockingly, "Didn't you say yesterday that it's simple to beat me? Why are you silent now?"
Xiao Kai was speechless.
"Kai, don't you have any other tricks?" Xiao Guan was anxious, "He's already said that, why aren't you using it?"
"But...but I feel embarrassed."
"Damn, at this time, which is more important, your pride or victory?" Xiao Guan said angrily, "If you admit defeat, Xiao Yun will no longer be yours."
"She wasn't mine to begin with," Xiao Kai blushed slightly and glanced at Xiao Yun, "She has ulterior motives for me, she doesn't really like me, so I don't care about what Ning Yuan wants to do."
"Hehe, is that true, Kai?" Xiao Guan smirked, "Don't deceive yourself. Don't say I didn't warn you, it's fated for her to be with you. If Ning Yuan gets her, it will be too late for regrets."
"I..." Xiao Kai gritted his teeth, "I don't regret it!"
Just then, Ning Yuan burst into laughter, "Yan Xiao Kai, Yan Xiao Kai, you're out of tricks, hahaha. Let me tell you, scum like you from the lower class will never defeat someone like me, a social elite. Otherwise, this world would have been in chaos long ago."
Xiao Kai's anger surged, "Ning Yuan, win or lose, but don't insult people."
"I insulted you?" Ning Yuan laughed heartily, "No, no, I never insult people. I just speak the truth. I'm telling you, even with ten or eight more chances, you still won't have a chance to beat me. I can say with no exaggeration that if you can really beat me, not only will I stop pursuing Miss Xiao Yun, I will even give this yacht to you."
Xiao Kai jumped up, his voice suddenly eight degrees higher, "Are you serious? You'll give me the yacht too?"
"Of course, it's true," Ning Yuan patted the railing next to him, "Look, what a great yacht. This is my treasure, worth more than eight million U.S. dollars!"
"This is your doing," Xiao Kai gritted his teeth, "Ning Yuan, don't blame me when you lose!"
"Oh, I'm so scared," Ning Yuan completely ignored him, "Tell me, what are we comparing next? I'll accompany you to the end."
Xiao Kai took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and looked solemnly at the just-risen sun in the east, "For this yacht, I've decided to sacrifice my image. I want to compete with you...with..."
"What exactly are we comparing?" Xiao Yun said anxiously.
"Urinating!" Xiao Kai exclaimed.
"Urinating?" Ning Yuan was taken aback.
"Yes, urinating!" Xiao Kai said firmly with a red face, "Are you daring enough?"
"What's the point of comparing urination?" Ning Yuan's face also turned red, "Alright, Xiao Kai, you despicable scoundrel. You are shameless and want to drag me down. I don't have a fetish like you. I can't lose my composure in front of two beautiful women."
Dao'er laughed heartily, "Mr. Ning, this is fun. I'm very willing to be your referee."
"I'm not being a scoundrel," Xiao Kai said, "You are wrongfully accusing me. I want to compete with you, and if you're afraid, you can just admit defeat."
Xiao Zhu touched her flushed cheeks and asked softly, "Director Xiao, what does Xiao Kai mean?"
Xiao Yun's eyes sparkled, a mix of admiration and laughter, "Xiao Kai has won this time."
"Why?" Xiao Zhu was puzzled.
"Because Xiao Kai is still...a virgin," Xiao Yun felt a bit embarrassed and whispered, "Xiao Zhu, you know, if a man hasn't had that experience, he will generally urinate farther. Do you remember, when we were kids, some boys would stand in a row and compete to see who could urinate the farthest."
Ning Yuan's face turned red and white alternately. Regardless of the outcome, having such a status-conscious, image-conscious, and face-conscious young master like him publicly compare urination with Xiao Kai was already too much for him to bear. What's more, he was not stupid. As soon as Xiao Kai spoke, he already knew Xiao Kai's intention. Nevertheless, should they really compare? He glanced at Xiao Yun quietly, feeling more affectionate for her the more he looked. He couldn't bear to give her up for anything, and so he gritted his teeth, "Alright, I agree. I have one condition, though. We both compete alone, and Dao'er is enough as the referee."
"That won't do," Xiao Kai was putting everything on the line for the yacht, "Xiao Zhu can stay out of it, but Director Xiao must be present no matter what."
"You're shameless!" Ning Yuan couldn't find any other words to say.
"Hehe, it's up to you," Xiao Kai said, "If you refuse to compete, you've already lost."
Ning Yuan clenched his teeth, "Alright, I agree." Then he turned to Xiao Yun, "Miss Xiao Yun, I hope you understand my true intentions."
Xiao Yun gave him a forced smile but her attention was all on Xiao Kai, and at the thought of having to see something so embarrassing later, she felt her heart thumping wildly. She felt Xiao Kai was shameless, but also cunning. This move was definitely a stroke of genius.
In fact, she hadn't even considered the most important issue, which was the physical response of Xiao Kai and Ning Yuan. After the two men, blushing and embarrassed, sneaked to the back of the yacht, they glanced at the beautiful women standing nearby and neither of them made a move.
"You go first," Xiao Kai said, "You're a genius, and I'm just a commoner. You go first."
"No need, no need," Ning Yuan said, "I went first last time. This time, I'll let you go first."
"You first, you first. Let's start and finish it properly."
"No, no, mutual courtesy, you go first."
Mr. Dao, who had been watching, couldn't help but laugh. Foreigners are generally more open-minded. He said, "Stop arguing. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Do it together."
"Alright, together," Xiao Kai and Ning Yuan looked at each other fiercely and started to slowly pull down their pants. It was summer at the time, and both were only wearing a t-shirt and shorts. Xiao Yun lowered her gaze and saw the tented fabric, blushing and feeling shy. The image lingered in her mind, making her think, "Hmm, Xiao Kai seems to be bigger... Ugh, why am I thinking such embarrassing things..." Even though she didn't want to look, she couldn't help but sneak a peek through the gap between her fingers.
The two men stood there, stunned when Dao'er suddenly rushed forward and, with a swift motion, pulled both their pants down.
"Oh!" Xiao Yun let out a soft gasp and quickly covered her eyes, feeling her heart beating wildly. Her face was as red as an egg, and the glimpse of what she saw just now lingered in her mind. She couldn't resist peeking through a narrow slit in her fingers.
The two big men stood there, startled by Dao'er's sudden move. When they finally reacted, they both shouted at the same time.
"What are you shouting for? Do what you're supposed to do," Dao'er said impatiently, "Now's the time for the duel, not the time to pretend to be pure."
With that said, the two men loosened up and, looking at each other, both saw the fiery fighting spirit in the other's eyes.
"Miss Xiao Yun, please put your hand down and watch closely," Dao'er yelled at Xiao Yun, "Show some professionalism as a referee."
If you'd like to continue the translation, please let me know.
"I'm not a professional referee..." Xiao Yun muttered, as she slowly lowered her hands. She had an expression that seemed to carry a bit of grievance and curiosity, making Xiao Kai and Ningyuan feel even more unable to bear it.
"I announce the start of the competition," Mr. Dao said impatiently, looking at the gold watch on his wrist. "Those who fail to complete the game within three minutes will be declared the loser."
