Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Do You Have a Boyfriend?
Tong Ge also brought over a plate of freshly cut fruit from the kitchen.
She greeted Lin Shuang and Su Wan, "Brother-in-law, and brother-in-law’s sister, good evening."
Su Wan complained, "Why don’t you just call me sister!"
How come you have to add the prefix ’brother-in-law’! It feels like I’m just an accessory to my brother-in-law!
Tong Ge neatly adjusted her skirt and sat next to Lin Shuang, "It’s to distinguish between my brother-in-law’s sister and my own sister."
Su Wan tried to get rid of the ’brother-in-law’ prefix, "You could also call me Sister Su~"
After saying that, she even punched Lin Shuang’s shoulder.
Lin Shuang felt somewhat wronged: Why are you hitting me!
Tong Ge thought seriously for a few seconds, then looked at Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang seemed to understand, smiling he said to Su Wan, "I think, Wanwan, if you bribe her with some ice cream scoops, you could successfully earn the ’Sister Su’ title."
Su Wan crossed her legs, "I should appeal to reason and emotion!"
Tong Ge ate a slice of apple, "But I think ’brother-in-law’s sister’ sounds more like family."
Lin Shuang nodded, "That makes sense."
Su Wan punched him harder this time and raised three fingers towards Tong Ge, "Three scoops!"
Tong Ge immediately complied, "Sure, Sister Su."
Ice cream scoops really are a universal currency around here!
Finally having earned the "Sister Su" title, Su Wan happily placed the cards on the table.
"Let’s start playing cards then~"
Tong Ge repeated, "But I’m not very good at playing."
—After playing two rounds, Su Wan and Lin Shuang realized their little sister-in-law was certainly not bad at playing!
She came prepared! A real pro!
Lin Shuang said with a smile, "And you said you couldn’t play?"
As the landlord, Tong Ge once again crushed Lin Shuang and Su Wan’s farmers alliance.
She drank a sip of water with no change in expression, "Maybe brother-in-law and Sister Su just aren’t very good."
Su Wan swallowed a piece of melon, drew the cards towards herself to shuffle, "You cocky little sister-in-law! Again!"
In the following rounds, Tong Ge kept defeating them.
Whether playing as the landlord or as a farmer, Tong Ge was the first to finish her hand.
Lin Shuang was willing to call her the Card Saint!
Finally, in one game, Lin Shuang and Su Wan teamed up as farmers, leveraging their childhood camaraderie to cooperatively beat the landlord sister-in-law.
They crushed her spring outing style—she couldn’t even play her cards.
They even clapped hands to celebrate their rare victory.
It felt like the heroes finally defeating the Demon King after countless hardships.
Tong Ge applauded emotionlessly, "Brother-in-law and Sister Su are really impressive."
She tilted her head, "So, next, shall we add some stakes?"
Lin Shuang suddenly felt like he had been baited by this little sister-in-law!
She wouldn’t have just let us win on purpose, right?
Just like those scams where they let you taste some success initially to trap you before they really start playing their game!
Not afraid of being baited, the recently victorious Sister Su decided to pursue her advantage, becoming more courageous the more she fought.
"Sure! Shall we play with sticky notes?"
Lin Shuang thought that their faces would be covered in them after a while!
This Card Saint little sister-in-law is terrifying!
Just as Lin Shuang was about to persuade Su Wan not to act impulsively, as the opponent was a pro—
Little sister-in-law Tong Ge suggested, "Or maybe, let’s play Truth?"
Her tone was as calm as ever, "If the farmers win, they can ask the landlord one question. If the landlord wins, they can designate one farmer to answer a question."
Now Lin Shuang was sure this little sister-in-law had definitely been setting a trap earlier!
She might have been plotting this all along!
He and Su Wan exchanged a glance; as childhood friends, they were completely comfortable with sharing truths having known each other inside out.
But there are some things you just can’t discuss with your little sister-in-law!
Both were still hesitating when the sister-in-law, Tong Ge, let out a "waah—" yawn, patting her small mouth with her hand.
Such sarcasm! Blatant sarcasm!
Su Wan, feeling mocked, was spurred into action, "Alright, let’s play Truth! Shuffle the cards!"
Lin Shuang always had a bad premonition!
Sure enough, in the next round, Tong Ge was the landlord, and she gave the two peasants a "Spring."
The little sister-in-law laid down her last card, "Ah, I’m really lucky this time."
Su Wan looked at the card she hadn’t played and pouted, "Damn it!"
Lin Shuang was already prepared to be questioned.
Sure enough, the sister-in-law began, "So this round’s truth is directed to brother-in-law."
With an innocent look, she asked, "Brother-in-law and sister, who pursued who?"
Such a simple question!
Lin Shuang felt that this sister-in-law was probably still nesting.
He replied with a smile, "It wasn’t really a pursuit, more like both rushing towards each other?"
Sister-in-law Tong Ge continued, "Then who confessed first?"
Su Wan kicked Lin Shuang under the table, "That’s a second question, huh? Ask again next round!"
The next round came, and it was Lin Shuang’s turn to be the landlord.
Besides skill, playing cards does involve some luck.
This time Lin Shuang was lucky, holding two kings, bombs, and a sequence.
He quickly defeated the peasant alliance formed by Su Wan and Tong Ge.
As the victor, Lin Shuang gleefully eyed the two captives, "Let me think who to ask..."
Wanwan wasn’t afraid of his questions, but asking the sister-in-law... freewēbnoveℓ.com
It wasn’t appropriate to ask explosive questions!
He finally said, "Let’s ask Little Dove then, have you decided on which university to attend?"
That’s what a proper brother-in-law should care about~
Tong Ge nodded, "I was planning to go to Hai City University, but now I want to go to Huai City University, to be a junior to sister and brother-in-law."
Su Wan wore an "as expected" expression.
She bit into a slice of watermelon, "I’m also your senior, you know?"
Tong Ge greeted, "Hello, Senior Su."
Lin Shuang scratched his head, "But Little Dove, your scores are much higher than what’s needed for Huai City University, isn’t it a waste?"
"It’s not a waste, being with sister is good."
Tong Ge shuffled the cards, but Lin Shuang started pondering another question.
— Wouldn’t the little sister-in-law need to move into his house then! Surely the brother-in-law and sister couldn’t let her stay in a dorm, could they?
But if she lived in his house...
The sister-in-law would have to see her, Tong Yao, calling him master every day!
Better wait until later... to stop calling ’master’ in front of the sister-in-law.
Secretly, on the sly.
Hmm? Why does it feel even more thrilling now!
The next round was Tong Ge’s turn to be the landlord.
She once again easily trounced Su Wan and Lin Shuang.
— It’s supposed to be a game of luck, but how come her luck is always so good!
Su Wan nibbled another slice of watermelon, ready to watch Lin Shuang get questioned in Truth again.
But this time, sister-in-law Tong Ge turned to her.
"Senior Su, I want to ask you..."
Her innocent eyes met Su Wan’s.
"Senior Su, do you have a boyfriend?"
