Singing, Dancing, and a Game of Cards
Yuto Saito collected the cards and handed them to Yun Yun. "This time, Little Yun, you shuffle the cards."
Yun Yun took the cards and, with both hands behind her back, shuffled them.
Ruoruo looked on and said, "Sister Yun, your posture is so graceful!"
Juzi agreed. "She has a fantastic figure."
Yun Yun smiled. "Thank you. The person who draws a 3 this time will be punished, and the punishment is to sing a song."
"Yes!" Natto said cheerfully. She was good at singing and wasn't worried.
Everyone drew a card, leaving the last one for Yun Yun. This time, Yuto Saito was quick to reveal his card. "I drew a 6. Who drew the 3?"
Ni Shuang turned over her card and looked embarrassed. "Uh, it's me."
The others laughed.
Natto teased, "Little Shuang, you're so lucky!"
Yuto Saito looked at Ni Shuang. "Little Shuang, please begin your performance. This time, there's no finding a replacement. You have to accept the punishment."
Ni Shuang smiled. "Okay! Let me see what to sing." She picked up her phone and opened a music app.
Natto suggested, "Little Shuang, your gentle version of 'Nine Nine Eighty-One' is great. Why don't you sing that for everyone?"
Ni Shuang nodded. "Okay." She turned on the accompaniment and began to sing. Her voice was lovely and gentle, and the beautiful melody captivated everyone. When she finished, they all applauded.
With a smile, Yuto Saito praised her. "That was great! One song isn't enough, sing another one."
Ni Shuang smiled sweetly. "We have plenty of time. I'll have more chances to sing for you all in the future."
Yuto Saito smiled and didn't push. She was right; they had a long future ahead.
Yuqi said admiringly, "Little Shuang, you sing so well. You sound like a professional singer."
Chen Xinyu praised her. "Your breath control is excellent, and the tone and endings are particularly impressive."
"Thank you!" Ni Shuang said.
Yuto Saito gestured. "Alright, Little Shuang, it's your turn to shuffle."
Ni Shuang shuffled the cards and said, "This time, the person who draws a Queen will be punished."
Natto asked, "What's the punishment?"
Ni Shuang: "You have to dance. A charming dance. The more charming, the better!"
Yuto Saito smiled. "That's a big punishment! It'll be even funnier if you draw it yourself."
Natto laughed. "I'd love to see Little Shuang dance!"
Ni Shuang glared at Natto. "Douzi, how can you say that? Shouldn't everyone want to see Little Tutu dance?"
Yuto Saito was calm. "There's only a one-in-thirteen chance I'll draw it. It's not likely."
Ni Shuang motioned. "Alright, let's see who gets the Queen."
Everyone drew a card. Ye Chuchu turned hers over and saw it was a Queen. Her innocent smile vanished instantly, and she looked distraught. "I got the Queen. Waaah."
Mifen couldn't help but pinch Ye Chuchu's face. "Chu Chu, your expression is so cute."
Hu Tuan'er said, "I'm looking forward to seeing Sister Chu Chu dance."
Ye Chuchu said softly, "Everyone, wait a moment." She then went into a first-floor room and quickly emerged wearing a set of traditional clothing she had taken from her collection ring.
Ruoruo said in surprise, "Wow, so professional!"
Juzi: "She came prepared!"
Mina smiled. "It looks like dancing is Chu Chu's thing."
Mifen added, "Chu Chu has a perfect figure, so it makes sense that she's a good dancer."
Ye Chuchu, with her perfect proportions and pure face, was wearing a pink costume and holding a silk fan. She walked to the center of the living room, turned on some music on her phone, and said, "Next, I'll perform a traditional Dragon Country dance called 'Mei.'"
As the music started, Ye Chuchu began to move. She was like a graceful little fox, every frown and smile captivating. With a beautiful spin, she lowered herself to the ground, then rose and looked at everyone with charming eyes.
Hu Tuan'er smiled. "She's so charming, and so beautiful."
Juzi: "That expression is amazing!"
Ruoruo: "Help, Chu Chu dances so well!"
Ye Chuchu continued to spin, her movements perfectly showcasing a woman's grace. After the dance, she bowed politely and smiled. "Thank you."
Yuto Saito and the others applauded. "Chu Chu, you've really impressed me!"
Yun Yun smiled. "I never expected Sister Chu Chu to dance so beautifully."
Ni Shuang agreed. "I have to say, it was truly beautiful."
Natto smiled. "Good thing Brother Su suggested we play a game, or we'd never have known how beautifully Ye Chuchu dances."
Yuto Saito teased, "Chu Chu, were you pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger?"
Ye Chuchu said shyly, "No, I wouldn't do that in front of my brothers and sisters. I've been learning to dance since I was a child; it's my hobby."
Mifen praised her. "Chu Chu, you dance so beautifully. I was completely mesmerized."
"Me too, it's amazing!" Hu Tuan'er said with a sweet smile.
Ye Chuchu was very happy. "Thank you all for your kind words. Let's keep playing."
Ni Shuang motioned. "Alright, let's continue! Natto, it's your turn to shuffle this time."
Natto: "Okay."
Everyone continued to play until it was almost 11 o'clock.
Yuto Saito said, "It's past 11. That's enough for tonight. Let's play again another day. Everyone, get some rest."
"Okay," Ruoruo replied. The girls all glanced at each other, wondering the same thing: Who would be spending the night with Yuto Saito?
