Happy Youngsters: Lin Miaomiao and Yingzi are vying to have babies!

Why are these two laughing so happily while playing cards?

"No, it's nothing." Qiao Yingzi lowered her head guiltily, suppressing a laugh and not daring to look Xia Ze in the eye.

Lin Miaomiao tried to remain calm and urged, "Xia Ze, are you having bad luck with your cards? You've been taking so long to play any."

Xia Ze looked at Lin Miaomiao, who was trying to remain calm but whose lips were unconsciously curling up: "Did you two switch cards?"

"No, no, don't talk nonsense." Lin Miaomiao turned her head away, forcing herself not to look at Xia Ze, otherwise she probably would have burst out laughing.

"Really?" Xia Ze asked Qiao Yingzi with an expression that said, "I've seen through you all along."

Seeing his expression, Qiao Yingzi couldn't hold back any longer and buried her head in her cards: "I swear, we absolutely did not switch cards."

Seeing their blatant attempts to cover up their misdeeds, Xia Ze simply didn't believe they hadn't switched the cards.

However, Xia Ze did not expose them.

After all, it was just a casual game, and he was confident that he could easily beat the two of them with the hand he had.

"Play some small cards first, like a plane with wings." Xia Ze played three nines, three tens, and two single cards.

Lin Miaomiao was stunned: "Are you kidding me? This is a small card?"

Xia Ze shrugged: "I can't help it, I'm just too lucky. This really is the worst hand I have."

"Miaomiao, don't be afraid. I dare to bet two more notes. He's definitely bluffing. I bet he doesn't have a strong hand right now."

Qiao Yingzi felt that this was definitely Xia Ze's psychological warfare.

His cards were definitely not that good; he must have played such a big hand right away to scare her and Lin Miaomiao.

"Yingzi, you're so smart! This guy likes to scare people. Watch this, bomb!" Lin Miaomiao exclaimed with a sudden realization, then played four sevens.

Now it was Xia Ze's turn to burst out laughing.

He has 4 cards. As the landlord, he has 20 cards. Apart from the eight cards he just played, all the remaining cards except for a pair of twos are bombs.

These two are still foolish enough to think he only has weak hands. Well, let them see what a gambling god is!

"Sorry, four Jacks. Can you two take them? If not, I'll play my next card." Xia Ze smugly shook the cards in his hand.

"Miaomiao, control his cards, this is definitely his last bomb!" Qiao Yingzi looked at Lin Miaomiao seriously.

Hearing her words, Lin Miaomiao nodded and pulled out four Kings from her hand: "Are you dumbfounded? Your brother Miao has four Kings!"

Seeing Lin Miaomiao's smug expression, Xia Ze pretended to be surprised, which made Lin Miaomiao and Qiao Yingzi very happy.

"See, Miaomiao, I told you this was his last big hand. I wasn't wrong, he probably only has some straights left."

"You're amazing, Yingzi! I'd call you the Goddess of Gamblers!"

"Keep it low-key! You're not bad either; you could be called a female gambling hero!"

"Tsk tsk tsk." Xia Ze interrupted their mutual flattery and then flipped over the four Aces.

Lin Miaomiao and Qiao Yingzi looked directly at the four Aces, and their smug expressions vanished instantly.

Smiles really do shift.

Xia Ze smiled and placed the four Aces in his hand squarely in front of the two of them: "Female gambling god, female gambling hero, I wonder if my gambling saint can meet your standards."

Lin Miaomiao looked at the four A's with a reproachful gaze and then at Qiao Yingzi, who gave an awkward smile.

"Sigh, how lonely it is to be invincible." Xia Ze glanced at the time. The first class of the afternoon was about to start, so he didn't plan to waste any more time and played his trump card directly.

Lin Miaomiao and Qiao Yingzi definitely couldn't afford to play the royal flush, so Xia Ze naturally won this round.

"Come on, come on, none of them can escape."

Xia Ze tore off ten strips of paper, stuck double-sided tape on them, and first stuck one on each of Qiao Yingzi's cheeks.

Then he picked up two more slips of paper and walked up to Lin Miaomiao.

Xia Ze is 1.83 meters tall, while Lin Miaomiao is only 1.65 meters tall. To accommodate Xia Ze, Lin Miaomiao placed her hands on the table, leaned forward, and raised her head.

Xia Ze looked down at Lin Miaomiao beneath him; this was the first time he had ever seen her from this perspective.

Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating Lin Miaomiao's face and making her appear exceptionally well-behaved and adorable. Xia Ze's heart inexplicably began to race.

Lin Miaomiao squinted, her face showing no reaction for a while, before opening her eyes in confusion, only to find her gaze meeting Xia Ze's.

Lin Miaomiao may not have high emotional intelligence, but that doesn't mean she's not shy. Her little face turned red without her noticing.

The atmosphere was somewhat ambiguous. If it weren't for Fang Yifan from the next table suddenly shouting, "You tyrant! You tyrant! Brother Gou, I'm a loyal subject, and you actually killed me!"

Xia Ze snapped out of his daze and couldn't help but laugh when he thought about how pathetic he had been earlier.

"Quick, quick, don't hide." With that, Xia Ze stuck two slips of paper on Lin Miaomiao's cheeks.

As for the remaining six slips of paper, four of them were stuck on Qiao Yingzi's face because she had lost two more in the bet.

"There's still time, let's play again." Lin Miaomiao pouted, shuffling the cards with a very unconvinced expression.

But she never expected Xia Ze to be so lucky. He played four more games without losing a single one, while she and Qiao Yingzi lost so much that their faces were covered with little notes.

Chapter Twenty: Having Eight Children with Lin Miaomiao (Seeking Flowers, Reviews, and Monthly Tickets)

The day's classes ended quickly.

Today is Friday, and tomorrow marks the first two-day holiday for the school.

Parents of day students like Xia Ze, Xiao Xue, and Gou Ge don't need to pick them up, but for boarding students like Lin Miaomiao, their parents must pick them up in person on their first holiday.

Of course, when school is out for holidays, they can take the bus or a taxi home on their own.

By the time Xia Ze and Xiao Xue finished cleaning and reached the school gate, it was already completely blocked by a large crowd.

The cars parked on the roadside were so numerous that they were almost touching each other; these were mostly parents of first-year and third-year high school students.

Parents of first-year high school students worry that their children won't be familiar with the school yet, while parents of third-year high school students don't want to waste a single second.

"Fang Yifan, Fang Yifan!" Xia Ze heard a familiar name and also saw a person who looked very familiar.

Standing next to Fang Yifan was a middle-aged woman dressed in a very sophisticated urban style, with a cute little girl beside her.

"Mom, why is it you guys, Duoduo? Why didn't Dad come today?" Tong Wenjie took Fang Yifan's schoolbag, squatted down, and took her younger sister Fang Duoduo's hand.

Tong Wenjie smiled and said, "Your dad's company had a client today, and he went to entertain him on behalf of his boss."

"Okay!" At this moment, Fang Yifan also noticed Xia Ze and Xia Xue. He excitedly ran to their side and loudly introduced them to Tong Wenjie: "Mom, this is my good brother Xia Ze, whom I often mention to you. This is his sister and my good classmate Xia Xue."

"Hello, both of you. I'm Tong Wenjie, Fang Yifan's mother. My son Yifan has been mentioning you a lot these past few days when he comes home," Tong Wenjie greeted them with a smile.

Hello, Auntie.

"Auntie looks so young, no wonder Fang Yifan always brags to us about how beautiful you are," Xia Ze said.

Hearing this, Tong Wenjie's face lit up with joy. She immediately praised Xia Ze for his eloquence and invited him to visit her home sometime.

"Wenjie, Xiaoxue, Xiaoze." At this moment, a very familiar voice came from not far away.

Then Song Qian led Qiao Yingzi slowly over.

Fang Yifan and Qiao Yingzi are childhood friends because their mothers, Tong Wenjie and Song Qian, are very good sisters.

The two hugged as soon as they met.

"Xiaoxue, Xiaoze, you haven't left yet. Haven't your parents come to pick you up? Do you want Auntie to take you home?"

Because of what happened last time, Song Qian, Xia Donghai, and Liu Mei added each other as friends, and they often chatted for a while these past two days.

The two girls talked the most about Yingzi and Xiaoxue, because they were best friends and their grades were about the same.

"No need, Aunt Song. Xiaoxue and I are day students; it only takes a few minutes by bus to get home," Xia Ze said with a smile, politely declining Song Qian's offer.

"Alright, then Auntie and Aunt Tong will be leaving now." Song Qian and Tong Wenjie hadn't seen each other for a few days, so the two left together.

Fang Yifan and Qiao Yingzi said goodbye, and Xia Ze ran into Jiang Tianhao again. Jiang Tianhao also introduced Xia Ze and his sister to his driver.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Tianhao, Gou Ge, and the others all left, but Xia Ze waited at the door for a while longer.

Because he hadn't seen Lin Miaomiao come out yet, nor had he seen Lin Miaomiao's parents, Wang Shengnan and Lin Dawei.

After waiting for a while, Xia Ze finally saw Lin Miaomiao carrying a large bag of things.

"Huh? Why haven't you gone home yet?" Lin Miaomiao asked, puzzled, upon seeing Xia Ze and Xia Xue.

She remembered Xia Ze saying that his home was quite close to the school, and that it had been a long time since school ended, so the two of them should be able to walk home by now.

Xia Ze rolled his eyes: "I'm just worried that some not-so-bright kids will get kidnapped."

Lin Miaomiao wrinkled her nose, still not understanding the meaning behind Xia Ze's words.

"Hehe." Xia Xue, on the other hand, immediately understood the meaning behind Xia Ze's words.

Are there human traffickers here?

"See, Xiaoxue? I told you she wouldn't be able to react." There's no hope for her; Lin Miaomiao is truly beyond saving.

Xia Xue giggled, amused. Lin Miaomiao then realized that Xia Ze was subtly implying that she was stupid.

"You're the one who's not smart!"

"Why hasn't your husband Lin arrived yet?" Xia Ze searched carefully among the sea of ​​parents, but couldn't find Lin Dawei anywhere.

He remembered that Lin Dawei was a doting father to his daughter, and it was impossible for him to be so late on a day like this when he was picking her up from school.
