"This..."

Faced with Ye Qiu's all-in, Wang Longbo hesitated again.

The image of Ye Qiu's royal flush was still vivid in his mind, and now Ye Qiu looked victorious again, causing Wang Longbo to clutch his cards, afraid to follow.

"I've gone all in. Are you going to follow or not?"

"This..." Wang Longbo hesitated for quite a while, then sighed and said, "Forget it, I'm not following."

With that, he threw away his Queen card.

It seemed he was really scared. He clearly had a straight, but under Ye Qiu's pressure, he chose to give up.

"Sorry, I was bluffing. My card is just a 3." Saying that, Ye Qiu showed his card, indeed a 3, meaning Ye Qiu's highest card was just a King, much smaller than Wang Longbo's straight.

"You're right, the bolder the heart, the bigger the harvest." Ye Qiu unapologetically collected all the money.

"Ugh..."

Wang Longbo almost spat blood. That phrase was originally his advice to Ye Qiu, and now it had turned around to be Ye Qiu teaching him.

Even after that, Wang Longbo was still unsatisfied, thinking Ye Qiu was just lucky, and continued to gamble with him.

But he soon discovered that Ye Qiu seemed to have figured him out completely.

Every time he had a big hand, Ye Qiu had a bigger one. Every time he wanted to give up, Ye Qiu was bluffing. This left Wang Longbo completely baffled.

"How could that be! How could that be!"

In just a moment, Wang Longbo lost over ten thousand bucks. That amount was small for him, but he'd never felt so defeated!

Since Ye Qiu got the royal flush, he hadn't lost, no matter how big or small his cards were.

"The bolder the heart, the bigger the harvest."

Facing Wang Longbo's confusion, Ye Qiu responded with the same phrase.

Wang Longbo was close to tears. That phrase was his originally, but now it had become Ye Qiu's catchphrase. Worse yet, he hadn't won anything, whether bold or timid.

At this moment, Wang Longbo finally realized something: Ye Qiu's gambling skills were definitely above his. How else would he be pressured so badly?

"Brother Ye, turns out you're a gambling god. I've been making a fool of myself." Wang Longbo said with a bitter smile.

"In playing poker, the size of the hand isn't really important. The reason you lost, there's a reason for it." Ye Qiu thought Wang Longbo wasn't too bad of a person, so he was willing to explain a bit more.

"What is it?" Wang Longbo perked up. He knew Ye Qiu was about to lecture, a rare opportunity he didn't want to miss.

"Actually, you didn't lose to me, you lost to yourself."

"What do you mean?" Wang Longbo frowned, not understanding Ye Qiu's words at all.

"Did you notice? Every time you have a big hand, the excitement on your face is hard to hide. This emotion tells your opponent your cards are good and big! As long as your opponent isn't an idiot, they should know what to do."

"Moreover, your mental resilience isn't great. If the opponent bluffs you a bit, you'll start doubting yourself. If they exploit these, it's hard for me to lose even if I wanted to."

"I see! No wonder, no wonder every time I play poker, I lose more than I win!"

Wang Longbo slapped his forehead, with a look of sudden realization.

Hearing these words, Ye Qiu was speechless. It turned out this guy had been bragging this whole time, full of nonsense; at the casino, he was clearly just the kind who gives money away.

"Uncle Wang's family really has a wasteful grandson." Ye Qiu shook his head but didn't say much more, after all, it was another family's matter and as an outsider, it wouldn't be appropriate to interfere.

"Brother Ye, thank you. Without your words today, I'd keep losing worse in the future!" Wang Longbo grabbed Ye Qiu's hand, saying excitedly.

At this moment, he looked at Ye Qiu with a hint of admiration. What is a master? Someone who hides his skills is a master, just like Ye Qiu!

"Alright, it's getting late, I need to go rest. You should play these games less from now on; playing them too much has no good benefits." As he was leaving, Ye Qiu didn't forget to give a piece of advice.

"Yes, yes..."

At this moment, Wang Longbo only had admiration for Ye Qiu, so he didn't refute his words.

But Ye Qiu could tell that the kid probably didn't take his words to heart. Although he felt helpless, he didn't say much; after all, he had said what needed to be said, done what needed to be done, and Wang Longbo's decisions in the future were his own business.

Returning to the room, after settling Bai Lan, Ye Qiu stayed by her side and went to sleep.

The night passed without words.

When dawn first broke, Ye Qiu was already awake.

Ye Qiu had just walked out of his room when he found Wang Longbo waiting at his door.

"Brother Ye!"

Seeing Ye Qiu come out, Wang Longbo seemed a bit excited, with dark circles under his eyes, indicating he hadn't slept well last night.

"What is it?"

"Brother Ye, let's go to the casino and play a couple of rounds? With your gambling skills, we can definitely make a fortune." Wang Longbo rubbed his hands together, looking a bit enthusiastic.

Ye Qiu couldn't be bothered with him. He came to Jiangdong City to cure Bai Lan, not to sightsee or entertain Wang Longbo.

"No time."

After tossing these words, Ye Qiu walked toward the kitchen, planning to make some porridge for Bai Lan when she woke up.

Watching Ye Qiu's busy figure, Wang Longbo also came to his senses. He realized Ye Qiu was surely staying home to take care of Bai Lan. Although he felt helpless, he had no choice but to leave alone.

When the sun was high in the sky, Wang Haoran's door opened, revealing him with dark circles coming out too.

Clearly, he hadn't slept well either.

However, unlike Wang Longbo, Wang Haoran had been focused on Bai Lan's condition, not gambling.

Seeing Ye Qiu, Wang Haoran quickly came over and said, "Ye Qiu, after researching all night, I finally found out the cause of your girlfriend's illness. I think it won't take long to completely cure her poison."

Ye Qiu was overjoyed, "Thank you, Uncle Wang!"

"You brat, do we need to be so polite between us?" Wang Haoran glared at Ye Qiu.

"Right, right..."
