As a city surrounded by the sea on all sides, Haishan City is naturally a tourist destination.

During the peak tourist season, the seaside and food stalls are crowded with people. If you want to have a meal and arrive a bit late, you have to wait in a long queue.

Fortunately, Lei Xihuan and his group arrived in late autumn, and the typhoon season in Haishan was also approaching, so there were very few tourists.

Typhoons at sea are almost a common occurrence for every coastal city.

However, the typhoon season in Haishan is particularly fierce. There are no particularly tall buildings here, and there is a story, true or not, that goes like this:

It is said that someone was renovating their home and was short of two plywood boards. They went out to buy two, and since it wasn't far from home, they carried one under each arm.

Unfortunately, a typhoon came, and this one was more intense than any before. The wind blew the two boards up, making them look like a pair of wings.

In the panic, the person forgot to drop the boards and was lifted up by the strong wind. With the two "wings," they flew to a height of seven or eight meters before letting go.

The outcome was predictable...

The authenticity of this story cannot be verified, but it does reflect the severity of the typhoons in Haishan from another perspective.

The hotel was booked long ago, right by the sea, called the Seaview Hotel, which is aptly named. From here, you can see the sea at a glance.

As soon as they returned to the room, Lei Xihuan quickly closed the door, opened the suitcase, and let Xiaopang out.

After being confined for so long, Xiaopang was clearly unhappy. Fortunately, Lei Xihuan was prepared and took out a lot of food.

After a hearty meal, Xiaopang's mood improved slightly.

"Just bear with it a little longer, Xiaopang. I'll take you to the seaside to play in the evening," Lei Xihuan comforted him.

Xiaopang nodded vigorously; as long as he could see the sea again, he could endure any委屈.

He wandered around the room, filled the bathtub with some water, and originally wanted to put Xiaopang in it, but Xiaopang showed no interest.

He sprawled out on the bed, looking as comfortable as possible.

Who has ever seen a dragon sleeping on a bed? And openly occupying the entire bed?

Fortunately, Lei Xihuan was already used to Xiaopang's laziness and mischief.

"Brother Xihuan, Brother Xihuan." Annie's knocking came from outside.

"Xiaopang, find a place to hide." Lei Xihuan said quickly.

Xiaopang lazily hid under the pillow, and no one would notice him unless they looked for him deliberately.

Lei Xihuan opened the door, and Annie and Zhu Jinyan walked in.

"Let's go shopping." As soon as she came in, Annie said excitedly.

"No!" Lei Xihuan and Zhu Jinyan refused in unison.

Shopping with Annie? Is there anything more painful in this world?

Annie deflated like a punctured balloon: "What else can we do? Go for tea?"

"Boring."

"Go singing?"

"I can't."

Annie was unhappy: "Just wait here for dinner? What time is it now?"

"Or, let's play cards?" Zhu Jinyan suddenly suggested: "Up the River?"

Lei Xihuan hesitated: "I'm not very good at it..."

Annie and Zhu Jinyan immediately became excited. The siblings exchanged a glance, and their eyes gleamed with mischief, as if they saw a big piece of meat.

"Jinyan, go get the cards."

As Zhu Jinyan eagerly went out, Annie put her hand on Lei Xihuan's shoulder, her smile as mischievous as ever: "Brother Xihuan, just playing cards isn't very interesting. How about we make it a bit more exciting?"

Lei Xihuan smiled foolishly: "Whoever loses takes off their clothes? I'll put on a couple more layers."

"Pervert." Annie's face turned red: "Let's add a little stake... a small one, 10 yuan per card."

"Ah, is that small? I don't have much money on me."

Annie looked as if she had him in the bag: "This is considered small. How about this, Brother Xihuan, if you lose, I'll give you all the money back, but you have to promise to go to the Great Buddha Temple with us tomorrow."

Annie and her brother had already mentioned this to him on the plane.

The flight from Yundong to Haishan only takes half an hour, but from Haishan to the Great Buddha Temple, it takes over an hour by boat. Adding the time to climb the mountain to the temple, they couldn't return the same day.

So Annie and her brother tried hard to persuade Lei Xihuan to go with them, but he refused outright.

He brought Xiaopang to see the sea.

Now, with this great opportunity in front of her, how could Annie let it go?

"If I lose, you give me the money back, and I just have to go to the Great Buddha Temple with you, right?"

"Uh-huh, uh-huh." Annie nodded repeatedly.

"Oh, I see."

Zhu Jinyan brought a deck of cards from the front desk. Annie winked at him: "10 yuan per card."

The siblings teamed up, placing cards when they should and cheating when they could. Lei Xihuan was doomed. This trip to the Great Buddha Temple was inevitable.

Zhu Jinyan took out the cards and started shuffling while saying: "Brother Xihuan, the rules are clear. I won't hide anything from you. At home, besides surfing the internet, I focused on improving my card skills. I have a nickname... King of Cards at Xiangxie Garden."

"Ah." Lei Xihuan's mouth dropped open.

A burst of arrogant laughter came from Zhu Jinyan: "Brother Xihuan, you have this day too? My sister is even better. In school, her nickname was the Female Gambling Saint."

"Ah!" Lei Xihuan's eyes widened.

"Wahahaha. Brother Xihuan, you can't escape from our hands today. Jinyan, deal the cards!"

Lei Xihuan looked worried.

Zhu Jinyan's shuffling and dealing had the air of the King of Cards at Xiangxie Garden.

He dealt the cards quickly and looked at his hand with a wild grin. One 2, one A, two Ks.

Annie winked at him. She had two Aces, one King, and two Queens.

In Up the River, there is only one 2 and three Aces. The big cards were all in their hands.

The first round was going to make Brother Xihuan suffer.

As a Female Gambling Saint, composure was essential. Annie said calmly: "Three of Clubs goes first."

"It's in my hand, it's in my hand." Lei Xihuan held his cards awkwardly, his face showing his distress: "Such a small card, how can I play it?"

"Brother Xihuan, surrender and lose half, it's still not too late," Annie said insincerely.

"Let's try, let's try." Lei Xihuan sighed: "Straight, 34567890J."

"Pass."

"Pass."

"67890JQ... nothing left..."

"Ah?"

"Ah!"

"Looks like you didn't play any cards? Four times the penalty?"

"Dog's luck, dog's luck." Annie threw her cards into the pile angrily: "You shuffle and deal..."

...

"Three of Clubs is in my hand." Zhu Jinyan called out: "Three 3s with a pair of 4s."

"Pass."

"Let me see." Lei Xihuan searched through his cards: "I'll play, three Ks with a pair of 5s."

"Pass."

"Pass, why so big?"

"The cards are pretty smooth, I just played them." Lei Xihuan smiled foolishly: "Pairs of 7, 8, 9."

"Pass."

"Pass."

"Pair of Aces."

"Pass."

"Pass."

"One 2... no bombs, right? Pair of Jacks... Annie, you didn't play any cards, four times... Jinyan, you're two times..."

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

...

"One 2, Lei Xihuan, I don't think you have anything bigger to play!"

"Wait, I have four 6s, is that a bomb? Boom. Straight... Annie has 8 cards left, Jinyan is two times..."

...

"Lei Xihuan, I'll go all out! Three Jacks with a pair of 3s, come on! Do you have anything better?"

"I have three Ks... pair of 10s, I'll play it, you definitely don't have it... pair of Queens, you definitely don't have it... one Ace, you still don't have it, one 2... one small card, 8... I think I won again..."

"Jinyan, water, water, I'm going to spit blood..."

...

"Sister, why didn't you play your Ace? You let him pass."

"Do you have the nerve to blame me? Why didn't you play when he had a straight?"

"All my cards would be scattered if I played."

"Can you play cards at all?"

"Both of you, both of you, give me some face, give me some face." Lei Xihuan quickly acted as a peacemaker: "Friendship first, competition second."

"If it weren't for Brother Xihuan..." Annie suddenly realized something was wrong: "Lei Xihuan, why are you pretending to be a good guy? You won all the money."

"Just playing, just playing, I'm just accompanying you guys..."

...

Three hours later.

Haishan City Seafood Stall.

The King of Cards at Xiangxie Garden, Zhu Jinyan, and the Female Gambling Saint, Zhu Annie, looked gloomy and listless.

This seafood meal was paid for by Lei Xihuan. Yes, it was the first time Lei Xihuan paid for their meal.

Why? You can't use a card at a seafood stall. Who would carry a lot of cash in this era?

Where is the cash?

The cash is in Lei Xihuan's pocket.

"Let's eat, let's eat, I'll pay, I'll pay." Lei Xihuan smiled: "It's rare for me to treat you to a meal, order whatever you want."

"Boss, another 18-piece. What? No? Then a 16-piece. Add an Australian lobster." Annie was angry and decided to try to recoup some of her losses through food.

"Brother Xihuan, didn't you say you can't play cards?" Zhu Jinyan sighed: "You won all afternoon."

"You, the King of Cards at Xiangxie Garden, and you, the Female Gambling Saint, how could I dare say I can play cards in front of you?" Lei Xihuan sighed: "But I had a nickname in college too."

"What?" Annie and Zhu Jinyan asked quickly.

Lei Xihuan smiled slyly: "The Little Prince of Up the River at Yundong University."

"Lei Xihuan, you played us!"
