143. Game of Kings

"I think ......"

"Shut up. ”

"No, I'm just making an opinion......"

"Quiet. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You can't do this to me, ladies and gentlemen, after all, ...... now."

"Jude, don't speak. ”

"......" Jude, who would be disgusted if he didn't say a word at this time, felt extremely aggrieved, and he shrank by the fireplace with a blanket. It was snowing heavily, and all snow sports were forced to stop due to the bad ghost weather, and everyone stayed in the villa, looking at the heavy snow that didn't know when it would stop.

What's even more unfortunate is that all the Internet and communication signals were cut off by the freezing weather on the 24th, which means that they can't contact people outside, let alone say Merry Christmas or peace to their family and friends. It feels terrible to think that your family and friends have to spend a happy Christmas in worry.

The creaking of the stairs attracted the attention of Jude, who was huddled by the fireplace, and when he saw the people coming down from the upper floor, he immediately raised his finger to Kate, Gwyneth and Jack, and said in a pretended aggrieved voice: "Theo, you don't know how they ganged up to bully me in your absence, I am very wronged." ”

Theolod looked at him with such a pitiful look, shook his head a little funny, and waved a few books in his hand: "Guys, I just went to the study for a while, really just for a while, look at what you have bullied our English Rose into, this aggrieved little face looks really pitiful." ”

When Jude heard this, he saw that Theolod was on his side, and immediately came to his senses: "That's right, you see, how pitiful I am, it's not me who is the culprit now, I just said a few more words and expressed some of my worries, who knew it would really snow so much, it seems ......"

"Shut up, Jude. Theorod interrupted him without hesitation.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Okay, we're on a team?"

"Oh, I'm just kind-hearted. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ A pack of white-eyed wolves. ”

The other three laughed out loud without giving Jude a face, and the anxiety that had accompanied everyone for many days dissipated a lot at this moment. Theorod looked at the others, thought for a moment, put aside the novel he had found to pass the time, and clapped his hands to attract their attention:

"Well, my friend, for Christmas's sake, don't keep blaming our poor Jude, though his crow's beak does need to be taped up......"

"Hey!" Jude's protest was slapped aside by Theolod waving his hand.

"It's Christmas Eve, isn't it God's will that we're tied up at this time? I remember there was a large supermarket in this resort. Theolod touched his chin, "We can buy something and come back and cook a big meal." ”

His suggestion was unanimously approved by everyone, so the five of them immediately wrapped themselves tightly and walked to the supermarket with one foot deep and one foot shallow in the heavy snow. There are quite a few people in the supermarket, and it seems that many of the tourists stranded at the resort are thinking of making a good meal for themselves on Christmas Eve.

The five men split up and met at the door an hour later. Because of the snowy days, the supermarket could not be stocked, and many things were snatched up by many tourists, so the five of them could only collect as many necessities as possible, and then returned with a full load of snow again.

Kate and two English men set up the room and prepare the evening's entertainment, while Theolod and Gwyneth prepare dinner together. Theorod's cooking was unanimously voted on, and it seems that they all tacitly assume that Theorod, as a "gourmet", must have a good level of cooking, and the two Britons are completely out of consideration.

But unfortunately, just halfway through the dinner, there was a "pop", all the lights went out, and the induction cooker could not catch fire. Following the interruption of the signal, the electricity that had lasted for a long time finally couldn't hold up and was cut off. If it weren't for the fact that it was only four o'clock in the afternoon, everyone would still have to operate in the dark.

In the end, Theorod had to find a way to borrow the fire of the fireplace, and in the most modest way, spend most of the bottle of red wine and spices, and cook a whole chicken as the main food.

When the smell of the whole chicken came out of the lid and it was dark, Kate searched for a long time before she found two candles. The five gathered around the table to enjoy this special Christmas Eve dinner by the light of the fireplace and the flickering thin white candles on the table. It turned out that the decision to push Theolod to the kitchen in the first place was correct, and with this red wine roast chicken, Theorod retired in his later years and opened a restaurant definitely profitable.

Spending Christmas Eve in a villa with a few actor friends was also the first experience in Theolod's life, he had no family in his previous life, Christmas Eve and Christmas were spent alone or in a children's welfare home, and after coming to this world, he had Maggie, and Natel and his family, and now, he also has these lovely friends.

He thought, he'd had gotten enough by now, as for Natle...... He doesn't ask for more.

After dinner, everyone came to the entertainment session. The blackout disrupted Kate's plans, and they had to ditch the discs and DVDs in favor of a board game that didn't require any electricity, but somehow - perhaps because they thought it was too challenging to simply play cards - the game gradually became a "game of kings".

The five of them sat in a circle by the fireplace. Pick the 3, 4, 5, 6 of hearts and the king from a deck of cards, and the person who draws the king becomes the "king", and the king can order one or two people to do anything, of course, not too much.

"OK, I'm the king this round. Theolod showed off her king, looking at the four men in front of her who were nervously covering their cards tightly, and in the afterglow she saw Gwyneth lip-syncing at her, which seemed to be "sing" - she had been thinking about asking Jack to sing a song - and she kept lip-syncing, and glanced at Kate beside her: "Don't 5 and 3!"

It seems that these two numbers are the numbers of the two of them.

Jude, who was sitting on the other side of her, saw her and immediately touched her with his elbow to warn her not to make a small move, and Gwyneth had to keep her mouth shut, but still looked at Theorod with expectant eyes.

"So, let's sing a song on Number 4, and you can have a showdown. Theolod smiled and said.

Jude's face changed when he heard this, and as the four of them had a showdown, the others saw that No. 4 was his number.

"Theo, you are not a true gentleman by the nature of a lady, wait, your day will come soon. ”

"Oh, why not 4 and 6 singing together. ”

Gwyneth and Jude complained at the same time.

"Then there will be no suspense at all. Theorod shrugged innocently.

After Jude sings a snippet of "MyFunnyValentine", the next round begins. Maybe Jude really confirmed his crow's beak title, he just "cursed" Theolod in the last round, and this round has been realized-

Kate, who is the "king", said with a particularly bad eye: "I will give a new order to the 3/4 ratio of men, I know that all four of you are very good actors: No. 5, suppose you are a charming and charming little woman, please be coquettish to your crush No. 4, and then No. 4, please be very moved and refuse." Come, dear ones, show your cards. ”

Theorod: "......"

Jack: "......"

Gwyneth: "Hahahahaha-"

Kate: "I'll just say, 3/4 of a chance of winning, come on, I can't wait." ”

Jude: "Theo, Jack, you guys hahahahahaha...... I really regret why I didn't bring the DV!"

Theorod is number 5 and Jack is number 4, and they both couldn't help but laugh when they saw each other's numbers.

Is this Ripley's retribution, which Peter rejects. Theolod held his forehead and smiled bitterly and joked, "Kate, don't be so desperate, who knows if you will be the next unlucky." ”

"Well, dear Theo, you're not Jude, it's useless for you to say that. ”

"Jude, do me a favor and repeat that sentence for me. ”

"No, it's your retribution. ”

"Kate, I'm so grateful that you didn't say 4 and 5 first. Jack made a false alarm, and then said to Theorod beside him, "Don't be too upset, Theo, I will refuse you just because the 'Queen' has to obey it." ”

When Theolod heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at Jude, who was No. 6, and mentioned to Kate: "Oh, this sentence makes me even more sad, I think I'm going to find my first love No. 6, can I change the coquettish object, my queen majesty?"

"I refuse!" Jude rubbed the goosebumps on his arms as if he knew what was going to happen, he could hardly imagine a big man making a charming and shy little woman posture and coquettishness, even if the man was pretty.

"I also refuse, you still dare to bargain with your queen XiΓ , you are just a commoner. Okay, don't get in the way, get started, your crush is on your right-hand side. Kate pointed to Jack.

Theolod turned his head and looked at Jack, one didn't hold back, and the two of them fell forward and rolled backwards while laughing.

"Hey, Jack, don't laugh, I want to laugh if you laugh too......"

"No, this is my line, you stop me before you can stop ......"

"Hey, you two show some professionalism!" Kate tapped the ground with a card, "You're a professional actor, so think you're acting, and you don't want to eat if you can't get past that." ”

"OK, OK, no kidding. Theorod immediately suppressed his smile and rubbed his cheeks with his hand, his blue-green eyes gradually settled, he seemed to be brewing something, and even his tone was no longer so easy to tease, "I think I can start, what about you?"

"All I have to do is say no, so I can do it at any time. ”

"Okay," as soon as the word blurted out, Theolod's entire voice changed, his baritone voice turned into a soft and sexy subtle voice under his subtle processing, and the slightly shrill voice and tactful tone of voice even made it impossible to tell whether the voice was male or female, "You have always been so considerate to me, I am almost in love with you." ”

Theolod said, glancing at Jack as if he didn't care, and the glance that had just caught a glimpse of his Adam's apple quickly moved away, and he didn't know whether he was embarrassed or too shy to see the other party's reaction when he heard this sentence at this moment. The glow of the fireplace illuminated his cheeks, and his delicate smile was like a pen that added a touch of charm to his almost flushed face.

He glared at Jack coquettishly and softly, the water in his eyes glittering seductively in the flames, lighting up the starry eyes and making the slightly pursed mouth look particularly delicious.

"You're so bad," he looked at him with disgust, and under Jack's stunned expression, he slapped his chest softly, "You're such a nasty little villain." ”

At that glance, almost all the charm and coquettishness of the little woman were rubbed in, and even his sitting posture, his posture of standing tall and moving his shoulders, almost showed the tender charm in the woman's bones. Jack believes that if Theolod wears a wig, puts on makeup, and changes his clothes at this moment, he will never be able to see his true gender.

But on the contrary, he used this face to make such an action and say such coquettish words, and there was no ...... A sense of disobedience. He couldn't even feel goosebumps on his body!

For some reason, Jack suddenly felt that Theolod was excessively beautiful at this time, a beauty beyond gender, a beauty different from Ripley's time.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Belch...... Embrace... I'm sorry...... I have someone I like. It took a long time for Jack to squeeze this sentence out, he thought that after working with him with Ripley, he had already become accustomed to his amazing acting skills, but now it seems that he has not been able to cope with Cheng DΓΉ with ease," ...... Yes, his name is Ripley. ”

"Oh-" The other three immediately let out a strange cry.

Tsk, what a surprise to be stuffed with a mouthful of Peter/Ripley's sugar.

"Hell, I suddenly kind of regret that I said no. Jude hugged his chest and smacked a few times.

"Your loss. Theorod, who was out of play in an instant, pretended to lean on Jack's shoulder and said provocatively.

After a few more games of kings, the five of them threw their cards into the dark ceiling and shouted to each other "MerryChristmas!"

On the 25th, Christmas Day, the snow stopped, but the snow was too thick to go down the mountain, and everyone stayed until the 26th, before leaving the ski resort and rushing to the airport. Jude and Jack flew back to England, Kate flew back to Los Angeles, and Theorod and Gwyneth flew back to the United States on the same plane.

Not surprisingly, Theorod saw Nattel, who had come to pick him up.
