Rebirth Turn - Chapter 108
No matter which country or region you are in, the marriage procedures will not be too troublesome. The materials have already been submitted, and it is just a procedure. After the staff reconfirmed the wishes of both parties, they stamped it.
Lu Yan took out the rings he had prepared in advance and gave them to each other. The rings were simple in style but very valuable. The appearance of the two rings is exactly the same, but the inner wall of the ring is engraved with the English abbreviations of “LY” and “S&M” respectively. The ring was ordered by Lu Yan three months ago, and the rings on their hands were engraved with each other’s initials.
With the blessing of the on-site staff, the simple ceremony was completed.
Afterwards, the staff kindly asked them if they needed help to book the city hall and church wedding. Lu Yan smiled and shook his head to express his gratitude. They still prefer Chinese-style weddings, and it is not yet time to hold weddings.
Knowing that her eldest brother and her husband were going to the Netherlands to get married, Su Jue originally wanted to bring Li Ran along with her, and she even said that she needed a wedding witness. However, Su Mo and Lu Yan didn’t plan to have their wedding in the Netherlands at all. Marriage was a ceremony for them, and the wedding was a more cautious one. In the end, Su Jue’s wishful thinking to watch the excitement could only fail.
When they walked out of the embassy, they had become married locally from never-married, and of course when they returned home, they were still legally single. However, this did not affect their good mood at the moment.
Lu Yan and Su Mo stood face to face. He held Su Mo’s hand and raised it. Two wedding rings were exposed between his intertwined fingers, shining from time to time in the sun. Lu Yan felt that even the air was refreshing and sweet. Looking at Su Mo, he smiled and said, “From now on, we will be bound.”
Although Su Mo doesn’t play online games very much, he doesn’t know anything about its terms. He smiled and added, “Well, I have to add one more sentence, never fall!”
Lu Yan blinked and teased, “At this time, the emcee should have said that the groom can kiss your bride now.”
Su Mo smiled slightly, “Then, what are you waiting for.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yan’s lips were eagerly kissed.
The place where they stood was not particularly remote, and pedestrians walked past them from time to time. The Netherlands is a holy place for same-sex couples to get married. Every year, countless same-sex couples come here to complete their major life events. It is not uncommon for them to be unable to control their excitement and make out on the street. Passers-by all guessed that they must be newly married lovers, looked at them with kind eyes, and offered their silent blessings.
After the innocent kiss ended, Lu Yan said with a smile, “Next, we should go on our honeymoon.”
Although Nevada has not passed a same-sex marriage bill, Las Vegas welcomes an increasing number of same-sex couples to the casino for their honeymoon. Although they only had two days of vacation, Lu Yan and Su Mo decided to go to this honeymoon city.
The biggest feature of the casino is, of course, gambling. There are large and small casinos everywhere. Every man has a risk factor in his heart, and gambling is one of the ways to reflect this risk factor. Since I came to the casino, I can’t say anything about it if I don’t gamble.
This is not the first time for both of them to come to Las Vegas, so they naturally know which casinos have good reviews and high reputation. They found a casino not too far from the hotel where they stayed. After entering, the two quickly changed their chips and went to their respective game items.
Lu Yan chose slot machines, a game that is simple to operate, requires luck and has certain skills, and is very popular among young gamblers. Lu Yan had played it before, in addition to the excitement of playing small and big, what attracted him was to find out some specific rules from it, such as the suits on different machine reels, and what combination would lose money and lose money. How much, how to increase the winning rate and so on. After he was no longer short of money, studying the latter became even more a pleasure. What’s more, in order to attract players, today’s slot machines are constantly innovating, and there are many different ways to play.
The casino they entered was medium in size, with dozens of slot machines. Lu Yan held the magnetic card exchanged for him by the casino, and did not immediately put it into the game, but walked back and forth, observing the other players to infer the odds and gameplay of each machine. After watching it for more than half an hour, he chose the machine, and after the last player finished, he went up to take over.
I saw that Lu Yan’s waiter had never done anything before, and I thought he didn’t plan to play today, and I was a little disappointed. Waiters who have been in the casino for a long time sometimes have a very good way of looking at people, whether the guests who come in have gambling luck or not, and they are not generous. Keeping up with a guest who has both gambling luck and generosity, after the other party wins, you can also get a lot of rewards. If you see the wrong person, you can only sigh your bad luck, and then look for the next target.
As soon as Lu Yan and Su Mo entered the door, the waiter noticed them. Another waiter stared at Su Mo, and he set his target on Lu Yan, asked him eagerly what he wanted to play, changed the magnetic card for him, and took him to the game area. As a result, he waited for a long time, but the guest just looked at it and didn’t do it. He thought that he might have lost sight of it and was about to leave to find the next target. Then the guest had already selected the machine to start playing, and quickly followed.
Afterwards, the waiter was very fortunate that he had good luck and followed a good customer, and he was even more fortunate that he did not leave at that time.
Lu Yan chose a rather ordinary machine without too many tricks. After he inserted the magnetic card, he started to operate. His movements were not fast, unlike most people, who would move on to the next round immediately after the end of one round, as if pressing fast could win more. He didn’t have a high win rate in the first few games, but he was very calm and thought about it a little after the game ended. After that, the speed gradually increased, but it still gave people a feeling of being unhurried. It’s just that as his speed increases, his win rate gradually increases. Later, Lu Yan increased the odds, and the number on the magnetic card doubled up.
The waiter was the one who stood on the side and watched from the beginning to the end. At first, his expression was indifferent, but then he gradually became a little surprised. However, the waiter has been in the casino for many years no matter what, and what kind of people have never seen, luck swept away all the bets in the lottery pool, and it is not uncommon for people to get rich overnight. Lu Yan is not particularly out of the ordinary. The waiter was surprised because he could see that Lu Yan did not rely solely on luck, but rather had certain skills in it. It wasn’t obvious at first, Lu Yan didn’t look like the kind of professional gambler or someone who was immersed in this way.
There were some red-eyed players next to him, who were about to leave while scolding the street, but when they looked at Lu Yan, they couldn’t move. As the numbers on the magnetic card increased, they shouted more excitedly than I did, but Lu Yan was still calm, and the movements of his hands were also very stable, unmoved at all.
After more than an hour, Lu Yan took it as soon as he saw it. The spectator next to him was reluctant to encourage him to continue. He just smiled and took out the magnetic card and handed it to the waiter, so that he could redeem all the chips.
The waiter quickly returned with the chips, and Lu Yan grabbed a few for him.
Lu Yan went to Su Mo with the redeemed chips.
What Su Mo is playing is Texas Hold’em, a game that requires more skill. Su Mo was playing at the table for four, one of the other three was Asian, and two were European. They seemed to have been playing for a while. The chips in front of each of them were different. Su Mo had the most chips in front of him, and the young man with blond hair who looked a little anxious had the least chips in front of him. However, the least amount of chips does not mean that he loses the most. Maybe it is because he exchanged less at the beginning.
The other Asian, who looked in his forties, had a mustache, had an expressionless face, and seemed rather composed. In the end, the European was older, with white hair, and kept sighing at the cards on the table. Lu Yan glanced at it. The three clear cards on his table were the J of Hearts, the 9 of Spades, and the 3 of Spades. They were not particularly good cards, but if the hole cards were well matched, there was still a chance to play big cards. Although he kept sighing and seemed to be very depressed, playing this game and misleading the opponent was one of the skills, and what he showed was not necessarily the real situation. From the number of chips in front of him that was second only to Su Mo, it could be seen that he was definitely not as restless as he seemed.
At present, the three bright cards on the table belong to Sumo’s biggest card, a pair of queens plus a diamond 7. The other two are also loose cards. All four have raised at this point, so the game continues.
The dealer gave everyone another card. Su Mo’s was 6 of spades, the mustache was 10 of hearts, the blond youth was 5 of clubs, and the middle-aged man with white hair was 8 of diamonds.
The highest card is the mustache’s 10 of hearts, he thought about it, and threw a chip out. The middle-aged white-haired raised, and Su Mo also raised. The blond-haired youth shook his head helplessly and folded his cards.
The game continues.
The last time the cards were allocated, Su Mo was the 4 of spades, the middle-aged man with white hair was the 5 of spades, and the mustache was still the biggest card, which was the diamond jack.
Moustache frowned and looked at his cards carefully, then looked at the remaining two opponent’s cards, and finally sighed and folded.
Right now, only Su Mo and the middle-aged Baifa were left on the table. If one of them also folds, the other will directly win all the chips in the pot. If they both raise, then show their cards to compare.
The cards on the table now, the five middle-aged white-haired cards are the Jack of Hearts, the 9 of Spades, the 3 of Spades, the 8 of Diamonds and the 5 of Spades. The board is full of miscellaneous cards, but if he has two spades or 10,7,Q of any suit, he can make a flush or a straight. Neither of these cards are small.
And Sumo’s cards are Q of Hearts, Q of Clubs, 7 of Diamonds, 6 of Spades, and 3 of Diamonds. If his hole card has a queen plus any suit of 7,6,3, he can make a full house, also known as a full house, which can overtake whether the opponent is a flush or a straight. If his hole card is only a queen and another miscellaneous card, he can only make 3 of a kind; or any card of 7, 6, 3 plus a miscellaneous card, he makes two pair. As long as the opponent has a flush or a straight, it is no big deal. Of course, there are more extreme cases where his two hole cards are all miscellaneous cards, or a pair of queens. The former can only make up a pair, and the latter kills the whole game in seconds.
Now the person who has to choose whether to raise or fold is a middle-aged European with white hair. He frowned for a long time and looked at Su Mo again and again, hoping to see some clues from his expression, but Su Mo was originally in the Those who have been trained on various negotiating tables have always been able to achieve the ultimate expressionless face, and naturally they will not let others see anything.
In the end, the middle-aged white-haired man gritted his teeth, but still threw two chips, Su Mo raised the bet without hesitation. The middle-aged white-haired man saw Su Mo’s determination, and his heart was half cold. After playing together for so long, this opponent’s style has been changing, which is unpredictable, but from his actions, it can still be seen that he has a great grasp.
When it came time to reveal the hole card, the middle-aged white-haired first revealed the hole card, a 10 of spades and a 7 of spades, which could make a straight or a flush. The flush is naturally higher than the straight, so his final card is a flush. In general poker, the flush is already a big hand.
Now Su Mo must have at least one queen, 7, 6, and 3 in any suit to form a gourd to have a chance to beat him, but the gourd has always been difficult to get.
Su Mo’s face was still light, and the middle-aged white-haired man looked at him with some pride, urging him to reveal his trump card. Su Mo glanced at him silently, and suddenly the corner of his mouth twitched, slowly revealing his trump card, which was another pair of queens. Four, spike.
The white-haired middle-aged man was dumbfounded, and the rarest situation actually happened. The mustache also sighed, only the blond youth secretly rejoiced, fortunately, he folded early, and he could lose less.
It was not easy for Su Mo to seduce his opponent to continue betting so calmly with a good deck of cards in his hand from the very beginning.
The middle-aged white-haired man bowed his head a little dejectedly, and the other two looked uninterested. The dealer asked them if they wanted to continue, and all three said they didn’t want to play. The dealer then asked Su Mo if he wanted to change the table. Su Mo shook his head, indicating that he did not intend to continue.
Su Mo casually took out a few chips from the stack in front of him and threw them to the waiter who had been waiting beside him, and then asked him to exchange the remaining chips and Lu Yan’s for a check. The two of them had already won a lot in one night. It would be inconvenient to exchange them directly for cash. It would be better to exchange a check at a regular bank.
The waiter quickly brought the exchanged check to them. When the two were about to leave, the security guard of the casino came over and asked if they needed to be escorted back to their residence, just a little reward.
Lu Yan and Su Mo smiled at each other, shook their heads, and rejected the offer.
