Math professor returns to routine

Chapter 453 New Year’s Eve

Li Yu gave each side a six-sided dice and asked, "Who will take the lead?"

"I'll do it! You couples have more people and more power, so we singles should have our own privileges."

Deng Rui volunteered to roll the dice first.

The dice rolled rapidly on the carpet and stopped with a single red dot facing the sky.

"Tsk, a little bit, bad luck."

According to the rules of flying chess, only when six points are rolled can the plane leave the take-off area on the apron.

"It's my turn next."

Wang Linghua was the second to come on stage. She raised the dice high and then let go.

Driven by gravity, the dice fell straight down.

Due to the soft texture of the carpet, most of the kinetic energy of the dice was absorbed and it was unable to bounce back. It just rolled a few times half-dead and then became silent.

"Five o'clock. Unfortunately, it's a little short."

While expressing regret, Wang Linghua also glanced at Deng Rui, as if she was planning something.

Deng Rui was keenly aware of the malicious gazes and felt a chill in his heart. He moved his butt quietly and distanced himself from Wang Linghua.

"Counting clockwise, it's my third turn." Lu You handed the dice to Tang Wan and said, "My beloved, you've always had good luck. You'll get the first turn."

"Okay, watch me, I'll give you a six." Tang Wan threw the dice up with her right hand, and the dice rolled in the air and landed on the ground. "Yes! It's a six!"

"Well done!" Lu You praised generously.

Tang Wan excitedly clapped hands with Lu You, and happily placed a small plane on the take-off area.

"By the way, if I roll a six, can I roll it again?"

"Of course, this is the basic rule of flying chess, there is no castration." Li Yu replied.

"Aren't you going to find someone to take the punishment?" Lu You asked.

"Finish the dice first." Tang Wan threw the dice in the same way, and kept chanting, "Six, six, six, another six!"

I don’t know if Tang Wan’s spell worked, or if Tang Wan was really the goddess of luck.

The dice fell to the ground with a slight muffled sound, and the side marked with six dots was facing steadily upwards.

"Nice! Another one takes off!"

"No, it must be fake!" Li Yu's eyes widened in disbelief, "I haven't even rolled the dice yet, and you already have two planes?"

Lu You patted Li Yu on the shoulder and smiled, "This is how people who can draw a full-life limited five-star character in Genshin Impact are. Accept the reality!"

Li Yu’s back teeth were almost broken by biting his teeth. He could only dream of playing a single character with full life.

Every time he draws a character, does he not prepare twenty at least?

This does not include the special weapons. If the special weapons are included, there will be around thirty items.

"I don't believe it! If you have the guts, throw another one..."

Li Yu's words stopped abruptly.

Because Lu You's third plane had been transferred to the take-off area by Tang Wan.

Tang Wan raised her eyebrows at Li Yu and said proudly, "It seems that I am still quite capable!"

Li Yu hugged his head, his pupils trembling uncontrollably.

"It's fake, it must be fake! There is no such thing as the European Emperor in the world!"

"I'm going to throw it for the fourth time!"

Pulled around and moved the whole body.

Tang Wan's throw attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone wants to know whether Tang Wan can throw four sixes in a row with a probability of 1/1296.

Under the gaze of six pairs of eyes, Tang Wan lived up to everyone's expectations and succeeded.

"Oops, sorry, I accidentally released four planes!"

Having said that, there was no trace of embarrassment on Tang Wan's smiling face, and she moved the small plane quickly and efficiently.

Li Yu felt that his worldview was collapsing. The probability of less than one in a thousand actually came true.

Xu Nian has known Tang Wan the longest and knows how outrageous her luck is.

When she was in elementary school, Tang Wan said in the morning that she had no pocket money to buy fried skewers, but in the afternoon after school she could pick up a ten-yuan bill, which was really scary.

"I think it's necessary to add another village rule, such as each player can only roll the dice three times in a row at most."

Li Yu nodded hurriedly and agreed: "I agree! I agree with both hands!"

Having witnessed Tang Wan's horrific luck, Wang Linghua also looked solemn and replied, "It is indeed time to limit it. Otherwise, if Wan Wan throws all the six by herself, what are we going to play?"

Lu You looked at Tang Wan and asked, "What do you mean? Can you accept it?"

"I have no objection, but the four punishments must count."

"How do you plan to punish them? Will you punish each person four times, or once for each person?" Xu Nian asked.

"Well..." Tang Wan swept her malicious eyes over everyone present.

Except for Lu You who was in the same group with Tang Wan and did not have to worry about being punished, the remaining four were all terrified.

If all four punishments are imposed on one person, even if the content of the punishment is restricted, as long as the operation is done properly, it is no problem to strip the person down to only a pair of underwear.

As time passed, the atmosphere became more and more tense.

Just before the atmosphere became extremely tense, Tang Wan finally spoke.

"I'm not targeting anyone. Nian Nian and Ling Hua, each do 20 sit-ups. Li Yu and Deng Rui, each do 20 push-ups."

Li Yu, Deng Rui and Wang Linghua all breathed a sigh of relief. This little corporal punishment was no more than eating and drinking water to them, and was easy.

However, only one person jumped up and down on the spot.

"Twenty sit-ups? You might as well kill me!"

"No way, Nian Nian? You can't even do twenty sit-ups?" Tang Wan said in surprise.

"It's easier to talk while sitting down!" Xu Nian pointed at the tatami mat beside him and said, "You can do it if you can!"

"I can do it, but why should I come? I'm the one who rolled six, and I don't have to accept the punishment." Tang Wan said as a matter of course.

"Niannian, are twenty sit-ups beyond your ability?" Wang Linghua asked.

With so many acquaintances in front of him, Xu Nian couldn't decide whether to acknowledge them or not.

Once you admit it, you have to do it, but you know your own business. Your muscles are softer than cotton and your bones are more brittle than platycodon. Even ten sit-ups are enough to make you uncomfortable, let alone twenty.

She refused to admit it but couldn't get over it. As a player who always adhered to the rules of the game, cheating was something she hated. In essence, cheating was no different from cheating.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Xu Nian finally accepted it.

"It's just sit-ups, who would find it difficult?" Xu Nian stood up and walked to the side, lying down on the spot, bending his legs and folding his hands behind his head, "Look, I can do twenty in one breath!"

After everything was ready, Xu Nian was about to start when Tang Wan quickly called for a stop.

"Wait, don't do it so quickly!"

Seeing Tang Wan running towards him with a smile on her face, Xu Nian felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

"What do you want to do?"

"Hey, hey!" Tang Wan bent down, straightened Xu Nian's knees, and then sat on her calves. "Okay, you can start. I'll help you count."

Feeling the weight on his calf, Xu Nian wished he could scratch Tang Wan to death.

She didn't have enough strength to do sit-ups to begin with, and now with her legs being pressed down and additional restrictions, it was even harder to do them.

"You'd better pray that I don't shake a six tonight!" Xu Nian said gritting his teeth.

Tang Wan was unmoved, still smiling, and said, "Remember to do it well, otherwise I'm afraid I'll miss it and it won't count."

"Very good! I unilaterally declare that we are no longer sisters!"

"Is someone thinking that the difficulty is not enough and wants to straighten his hands?"

Xu Nian closed his mouth and suppressed the urge to retort.

Forbearance a moment, calm, take a step back, a brighter future.

A gentleman's character can be big or small; a man's ambition can be flexible.

Xu Nian took a deep breath and started doing sit-ups.

"one two Three……"

Before Tang Wan counted to "seven", Xu Nian's movements were very standard, lying flat and standing upright, rising and falling very quickly.

But when he stood up for the seventh time, the movement became extremely difficult, like a ruler that was bent to the point of breaking.

Tang Wan could clearly feel Xu Nian trembling beneath her.

Finally, the moment Tang Wan blurted out the word "cross", Xu Nian fell straight down and was unable to get up again.

Tang Wan patted Xu Nian's thigh and said with a smile: "Don't lie down! This is only half done, there are still ten to go!"

Xu Nian gasped for air, his cheeks flushed, and he replied intermittently: "Can I...pay in installments? Do ten first, and the rest... later?"

"How long will it be?"

"Ten... no, twenty minutes later."

Seeing that Xu Nian looked half-dead, Tang Wan couldn't bear to continue to cheat her.

"Okay, you're allowed to pay in installments." Tang Wan stood up and extended her right hand.

With Tang Wan's help, Xu Nian staggered to his feet.

"Niannian, your physical strength is really not good enough! You have to exercise more. I don't say how strong you can be, but at least you have to stay healthy. Otherwise..." Tang Wan leaned close to Xu Nian's face and whispered, "You will become the first acre of land to be plowed by cattle!"

"What..." Xu Nian was stunned for a moment, then reacted after a moment. His cheeks, which had faded slightly, turned red again, and even his earlobes were stained with the same paint.

Coincidentally, the others had also completed their respective punishments and returned to their original positions.

When Li Yu turned his head, he saw Xu Nian's shrimp-like face and cherry-colored earlobes. He immediately reached out his hand out of curiosity.

When his fingers touched Xu Nian's earlobe, a warmth came from his fingertips.

"Niannian, your ears are so hot!"

Xu Nian slapped it away with his backhand and glared at Li Yu fiercely.

"You're just good at physical strength! You're just good at tilling the fields!"

A string of question marks appeared above Li Yu's head, and he asked innocently, "What did I do wrong?"

"Next time you punish me, you will take my place!" Without giving Li Yu a chance to refute, Xu Nian said angrily, "The game continues, it's my turn!"

Xu Nian grabbed the dice and threw it hard.

"If it's not six, you'll explode right here!"

As the saying goes, you don’t get what you ask for.

The dice rolled a distance and stopped on the side with three dots.

"Damn it! What a lousy dice!"

Li Yu quickly covered Xu Nian's shoulders and said calmly, "Calm down. You can't throw a six. There must be something wrong with this dice. I'll give you a unique one later."

With Li Yu's comfort, Xu Nian's anger subsided a lot.

"Hmph, it better really is!"

After one round, except for the four planes from Lu You's side that were on the starting area, the rest of the planes did not move at all.

"Okay, it's my turn again. I hope to have a good start." Deng Rui imitated Tang Wan's movements and threw the dice up. "Alas, it's not six again."

Deng Rui felt disappointed, but he quickly cheered up.

The probability of rolling a six is ​​only 1/6, so it is normal to miss consecutively.

Wang Linghua followed closely and the result was exactly the same as Deng Rui's.

On the surface, Wang Linghua didn't seem to care much, but secretly her right hand had been clenched.

Then it was Lu You's turn.

"Let me do it this time!"

Lu You took the dice from Tang Wan and threw it casually.

The goddess of luck seemed to be favoring her, but also seemed not to be, and the side of the dice facing up showed two points.

"Can our village rules be followed while stacking chess pieces?" Lu You asked.

"It was possible before, but not now. We can only move them one by one." Li Yu replied.

Lu You knew that he was being targeted, but he didn't care and moved a small plane forward six squares.

The rules of flying chess are that if you land on a square of the same color, you can jump to the next square of the same color.

The second square before each side's take-off area is a square of the same color, so throwing two points is equivalent to moving six squares.

"It's my time, it's my time!"

As soon as Lu You retracted her hand, Xu Nian couldn't wait to throw out the new dice that Li Yu had prepared for her.

"Six! Six! Come on, six!"

"Great, I won!" Xu Nian turned his head suddenly and said happily: "Wanwan, it's your turn now!"

Tang Wan was not panicked at all, and said calmly: "Tell me, how many sit-ups do you want me to do? Twenty? Or thirty?"

Xu Nian smiled coldly and said, "I won't punish you physically, because it won't make me feel better, and I can't make you look bad."

Tang Wan's calm heart was rippled, "Could it be..."

"I want you to sing, sing JJ Lin's "Mermaid"!"

broken!

Lu You suddenly felt that something was wrong.

After living together for more than a year, he knew Tang Wan's singing skills very well.

As long as there is a little bit, it is not completely gone.

In terms of voice quality alone, Tang Wan is not bad, but the song she sang is really out of tune.

"Husband..." Tang Wan looked at Lu You for help.

Lu You raised his hand to stop Tang Wan from saying anything else and said, "I understand. You don't need to tell me."

Tang Wan's eyes immediately turned resentful, "It seems like you already have a problem with me."

Lu You ignored Tang Wan and said to Xu Nian: "My beloved concubine and I are of one mind, let me sing for her."

"Okay." Xu Nian agreed happily.

"Someone turn down the TV volume." Lu You ordered.

Li Yu did as he was told immediately.

When the TV volume was almost inaudible, Lu You picked up his phone and cleared his throat.

The sound of crashing waves rang out in the house, followed by the melodious sound of musical instruments.

I draw a circle on the beach

A world of comfort for both of us

No need to connect with others

...]

All I can say is that Lu You’s singing skills are really strong, and he draws everyone in as soon as he opens his mouth.

【…

Heartbroken, floating on the seashore

You look up and see

After singing half of the song, Lu You turned off the accompaniment and stopped.

"Just sing half of it, so it doesn't turn into my concert."

Everyone felt a little regretful, but didn't say much.

The game enters the third round.

Deng Rui was possessed by a non-chief and still failed to throw out a six, while Wang Linghua hit it.

Seeing the six points on the dice, Wang Linghua smiled happily.

"Linghua, who are you going to punish?" Tang Wan asked.

"I strongly suggest that you choose Wanwan." Xu Nian encouraged.

"Why do we have to target each other when playing flying chess?"

"Who told you to trick me in the first place?"

Wang Linghua decisively ignored the two of them and her eyes fell directly on Deng Rui.

Deng Rui was so frightened by being looked at that he asked cautiously, "You are not going to mess with me, are you?"

Wang Linghua smiled and said, "That's right, there will be a prize for the correct answer!"

"Can I not?"

"No."

Li Yu and Xu Nian's eyes lit up when they heard the conversation between the two.

What's going on? I've never seen this before!

"Ah~" Deng Rui sighed and stopped struggling. "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"Tell me, who is the most unforgettable person for you?"

When such a straightforward question was asked, everyone pricked up their ears, expecting to hear a special answer.

"The most unforgettable person? Of course it's my mom. Is there any need to think about it?"

Everyone lost interest instantly.

This answer is fine, but it's not what they want.

Wang Linghua narrowed her eyes and didn't investigate further.

"You pass."

The game continued until nearly twelve o'clock.

During this period, Lu You did dozens of push-ups, sang several songs, and was asked several questions about Tang Wan, which he handled smoothly.

After all, whether it was physical strength, singing skills, or understanding of Tang Wan, Lu You was the best.

The punishment Tang Wan received was similar to Lu You's, including dozens of sit-ups and some questions related to Lu You, which she successfully passed.

Wang Linghua had a dispute with Deng Rui.

Whenever a six is ​​thrown, the blame will definitely be directed at Deng Rui.

However, Deng Rui was very good at Tai Chi and easily resolved all of Wang Linghua's attacks.

As the game ended, a countdown to the New Year appeared on TV.

"Oh, what a coincidence!"

Lu You put down the dice and started watching TV.

Tang Wan moved to Lu You's side and leaned into his arms.

Li Yu put his arm around Xu Nian's shoulder, and Wang Linghua temporarily put aside her obsession with Deng Rui and watched TV together.

The numbers on the screen kept jumping, and everyone followed silently in their hearts.

The moment the number jumps to "0".

"Happy New Year!"

Amid the six cheers, the sound of fireworks could be vaguely heard in the distance. (End of this chapter)
