Tangled Up In Blue novel Chapter 34

Poppi took out a deck of playing cards and sat on the floor with her legs crossed and they circled around the floor, with the rules of shuffling. The old lady was quite a veteran. The conversation with her was quite clear and easy.Malcolm was also get it quickly.

"We need to make a deal in advance. What we win will be awarded and what we lose will be punished," The old lady continued as she drew the cards.

"Draw a turtle on your face!" Poppi touched the card of K and said with a smile, "when we were playing cards in the dormitory, we could even draw my face black."

"Change it to another one." Malcolm immediately refused. Draw a turtle on one's face? Only those childish people would draw a turtle on the face. As expected, only Poppi could come up with such an idea.

"Yes, change it!" The old lady looked very angry. "Young girls nowadays don't know how to take care of their bodies. Why do they draw a turtle on their face? How can you come up with such an idea? Who as a woman, you should be elegant and behave yourself! "

Poppi stuck out her tongue and said, "yes, grandma. I'll keep that in mind. I'll learn the 'how to draw a girl's attention'. I want to be an elegant woman, okay? " She then made a gesture.

"I don't think so." The old lady lowered her head and reached for another card. "Good card!"

Poppi's eyebrows twitched and the corners of her mouth twitched, then she took her hand back and asked, "what are our rewards and punishments? Ah Or we can make money. " "That's a good idea. I'll get more motivation," she cheered up

"It's not funny." The old lady shook her head, "we are a family. What's the meaning of earning money? What do you think, Malcolm?"

"Grandma is right." While the old lady was looking at the cards, Malcolm whispered to Poppi, "leave it to grandma later."

"Of course I know," Poppi blinked and replied

"Really?" She came up with an idea and said, "in my opinion, the loser needs to kiss the winner."

Malcolm's face darkened. If he lost and Poppi won, would he kiss her? no way!

Poppi stole a glance at Malcolm, but she still pretended to be relaxed and said, "grandma, this is more boring than winning money. We are family. What's the point of kissing? "

"I also want to see the way you kiss!" The old lady looked at them up and down with her sharp eyes. After she took the last card, she said, "you have been married for three years, but I only saw two marriage certificates without a wedding photo, you don't even have a kid yet.. You didn't make out with each other in front of me. I just want to see you kissing. "

Hearing this, Poppi was speechless. Then, she gave a glance to Malcolm, with the meaning of "what to do".

"What's more, Malcolm, if you want to prove that nothing happened last night, do as what I said." The old lady ordered in a strong voice, "it's not the end of the problem last night!"

"Grandma, I think what Poppi just said is actually a good idea." "It's funny to draw a turtle on the face," said Malcolm seriously

When he just finished, Poppi burst into laughter. The old lady pouted and looked at them with a sly expression, "what? What are you two have deceived me? Such a simple request is perfunctory. "

"No, grandma, you are thinking too much." Then he said, "that's it. But grandma, you can't be rascal if you lose."

"I've lived my whole life. How can you be so shameless?" The old lady raised her head proudly. "I'm the landlord. Let me play first. A pair of three! "

When the old lady showed her cards, Malcolm and Poppi happened to look at each other. Malcolm opened his mouth slightly and mouthed a word "win". Poppi understood him and nodded. She looked at her cards and said, "I have it! One pair of four! "

"Two seven." Then he got two cards silently.

"I lost..."

In the first round, the old lady lost, holding Malcolm and Poppi, she kissed them for two times; in the second round, the old lady still lost, and she won't win in the third round, the fourth round In the face of mutual interest, the tacit understanding between Poppi and Malcolm reached the highest level since the beginning of history. With only a glance, they knew what cards they have in hand of each other.And they was going to use to beat the old lady down.

"No, no, no!" After she finished fumbling for the cards, the old lady covered her head with her hand and frowned. "Little Turtle became the landlord just now. Malcolm and I won the game. But the little turtle only kissed me, but Malcolm."

"Uh..." Poppi bit her lips and said, "grandma, I forgot just now. It's all over. Let's start from this one."

Granny held the cards, shook her head and said, "your memory is not as good as mine. It's not right. Malcolm didn't kiss you even though he lost the game just now. Are you two conspired to fool me? Or did he really do something wrong last night? "

"No, No. grandma, you are thinking too much. We have explained everything just now, haven't we? " Poppi shook her hands immediately, "if he dare to do anything to him, I will be the first one to fight with him!"

"Then you kiss him, let him kiss you." The old lady placed the cards in front of them, and looked at the two people in front of her calmly. The more she thought about it, the more strange she said, "kiss him quickly, don't fool me."

Cora stood behind the old lady silently with her legs open and hands behind. She was expressionless, but when she heard the old lady's words, her lips moved uncontrollably and her eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

Poppi looked at Malcolm helplessly as if seeking help from him, who felt being cornered.
