"Why are you taking your clothes off again? Have a drink! It's just one drink! Don't give this guy freebies so easily!"

Ironclad also covered his face, not daring to look: "That's right! It hasn't come to that yet!"

Kiyama Harumi sat back down, looking completely at ease: "The rules allow you to take off your clothes. I chose to take them off."

Her tone was so calm that it was as if she wasn't the one whose underwear had been seen in front of Higashino.

The third round.

Higashino shuffles and deals the cards.

Cards revealed: Higashino has a pair of 10s, Huangquanchuan has an A and an 8, Tiezhuang Zhuili has a K and a 6, and Kiyama Haruo has a J and a 3.

"Looks like I'm having a lucky day."

Higashino shrugged; he genuinely felt he had a great run of luck today, having not cheated.

Huang Quanchuan and Tie Zhuangzhui looked at the cards in their hands, then at their beer glasses, which were already more than half empty, and felt that they really couldn't hold on any longer if they drank any more.

The two exchanged a glance, then reluctantly raised their glasses again.

Kiyama Harumi stood up again, and this time, her hand went straight to the bra clasp!

"Wait! Stop!"

Huang Quanchuan and Tie Zhuangzhui screamed almost simultaneously, rushing over to grab Kiyama Harumi's hand.

"Dr. Kiyama! Calm down!"

Ironclad Soryu never expected Kiyama Harumi to be so bold as to actually try to take off her underwear.

"It's not the final moment yet! Why did you decide to disarm them all at once?!"

Kiyama Harumi was held down, her movements halted. She tilted her head, looking at the two agitated individuals, her tone still calm: "If it's Higashino, there shouldn't be a problem, right? Your reactions are the abnormal ones, aren't they?"

In her mind, exposing her body in front of Higashino was not something shameful or something to resist; rather, it was a manifestation of... trust?

Huang Quanchuan and Tie Zhuangzhui were speechless. Deep within their understanding, a voice quietly rose: "Yes, if it's Higashino... it seems there really isn't a problem?"

But reason and shame prevailed, and even if there was no problem, that level of shame would only be used as a last resort.

"Even if it's Higashino, there's no problem!"

Huang Quanchuan lowered his voice, his tone tinged with disappointment.

"You can't be that direct! Be reserved! Don't you understand the concept of reserve? The game has only just begun!"

"But the rules allow it..."

Kiyama Haruo still wanted to argue.

"Then take off another piece of clothing!"

Huang Quanchuan interrupted her.

"Take off your pants! Yes, take off your pants!"

Kiyama Haruo glanced at Yomi River, then at Higashino, and sighed helplessly.

She nodded, calmly unbuttoned her trousers, pulled down the zipper, took off her trousers, folded them, and placed them on top of her white coat.

Now, she was only wearing white underwear and panties, large expanses of her fair skin exposed to the light. While her breasts weren't particularly large, they were perfectly proportioned to her figure.

Huang Quanchuan and Tie Zhuangzhui watched this scene, then sat back down in their seats, feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of things to complain about.

The following rounds.

Higashino's "luck" seemed ridiculously good. He won several rounds in a row.

Huang Quanchuan and Tie Zhuangzhui really couldn't drink anymore; their stomachs were churning. Seeing Kiyama Harumi's "unperturbed" appearance, the two gritted their teeth.

"I choose to take off my clothes!"

Huang Quanchuan stood up first, boldly took off his sports vest, revealing his wheat-colored skin, toned upper body, and a black bra.

Iron-clad embarrassment almost made her bury her head under the table, but under the "role model" of Huang Quanchuan and the expectant gaze of Dongye, she trembled as she unbuttoned her shirt and took it off. Inside was an elegant lace bra that hugged her shapely curves.

Let's play another game.

"Take off your pants!"

Huang Quanchuan went all out, taking off his athletic shorts to reveal his strong, long legs and a pair of athletic shorts-style underwear.

With her eyes closed, Tie Zhuangli took off her knee-length skirt, revealing her fair legs and a pair of black thong underwear.

At this point, the three women at the table each had only two pieces of clothing left to take off.

An ordinary family hot pot dinner was transformed into a drastically different "lingerie show".

Under the lights, the figures of three mature women—some fit, some voluptuous, and some slender—were on full display, instantly filling the air with an indescribable atmosphere of ambiguity.

Higashino leaned back in his chair, his gaze unabashedly appreciating the beautiful scenery before him, a satisfied smile on his face, as if admiring a work of art he had meticulously arranged.

He slowly picked up the beer can and took a sip: "Hmm, nice view. Want to continue?"

Seeing Higashino's smug expression, Aiho Huangquanchuan's competitive spirit was completely ignited. She slammed her hand on the table: "Continue! Of course we'll continue! I don't believe you can keep winning! Next round, I'll make you strip naked!"

Her eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit.

Looking at Huang Quanchuan, Tie Zhuangli secretly glanced at the still calm Kiyama Harumi, and then looked at Higashino's smiling eyes.

The trust solidified by her abilities deep inside her once again took over: "If it's Higashino-kun... even if I lose... it doesn't seem like such a big deal, right?" This thought miraculously reduced her shyness and resistance.

Her face flushed, and her voice was barely audible, yet she replied clearly, "Um... let's continue."

Kiyama Harumi nodded in agreement; winning or losing was of no concern to her anyway.

Higashino's smile deepened as he skillfully shuffled the cards, the cards flying between his fingers with a crisp sound.

"Alright, let's begin the next round."

He glanced at the three women in front of him, each wearing only underwear and exuding a mature charm in different poses, and placed the shuffled cards in the center of the table.

Chapter 203 Let's do something a scumbag like me should do!

Higashino felt that luck would still be on his side this time, allowing him to further examine the development of the older sisters, but the cards revealed that unless someone was cheating, no one could win all the time.

Kiyama Haruo: King of Hearts, Queen of Spades.

Yomi Kawa Aiho: 10 plum blossoms, 9 diamonds.

Iron decorations: 8 hearts, 7 plum blossoms.

Higashino Yu: Jack of Diamonds, Ten of Spades.

Clearly, he was not the winner this time.

Kiyama Harumi calmly spread out his K and Q, his face still expressionless.

"Max points."

"Wow!!!"

Ironclad was the first to react, cheering with delight and even slapping the table in excitement.

"We won...we won! Dr. Kiyama won! It's finally not Higashino-kun anymore!"

Her eyes were filled with triumphant excitement as she looked at Higashino.

"Well done, Kiyama!"

Huang Quanchuan couldn't help but smile, patted Kiyama Haruo's shoulder forcefully, and looked at Higashino provocatively.

"What goes around comes around, Higashino! How does it feel to lose? Haha!"

Higashino raised an eyebrow, looked at Kiyama Harumi's pair of Kings and Queens, then at his own Jacks and Tens, and shrugged: "Tsk, that's normal, isn't it? Actually, the situation where I kept winning was quite rare."

If he hadn't known he hadn't cheated, and if the three women hadn't trusted him, a normal person would have suspected him long ago, given his winning streak.

"However, a bet's a bet..."

He put down his cards and, without the slightest hesitation, deftly took off his short-sleeved T-shirt.

In an instant, a near-perfect male body was revealed to the three women.

His broad shoulders and well-defined, smooth chest and abdominal muscles resembled a finely sculpted sculpture. His skin was a healthy wheat color, and every muscle exuded just the right amount of power, without any excess, creating a harmonious blend of strength and beauty.

This is not only the result of training, but also a manifestation of Higashino's continuous optimization of his physical condition by using his abilities with each step he gets stronger.

It's no exaggeration to say that her figure is absolutely perfect, with a golden ratio.

"hiss……"

Huang Quanchuan gasped, his smugness instantly freezing on his face. His eyes widened involuntarily, staring intently at Dongye's upper body.

Ironclad let out a soft "Ah!" and his face instantly turned red. He tried to look away in a panic, but as if drawn by a magnet, he couldn't help but glance over, and his heart suddenly started racing.

Even Kiyama Harumi, who had been expressionless, slightly contracted his pupils, and his gaze lingered on Higashino's muscular chest and abs for longer than usual.

Three women, three different expressions: amazed, shy, scrutinizing, all eyes focused on that perfect body.

Higashino Yu took in their reactions and smiled inwardly.

It's often said that men are attracted to women, but women are pretty much the same. Adult women, in particular, often appreciate the charm of mature men.

He coughed lightly, breaking the brief silence: "Ahem, alright, punishment complete. Now, it's your turn."

He looked at Huang Quanchuan and Tie Zhuangzhui, his eyes filled with undisguised amusement. After all, they were truly at the last moment, with no other way out.

The two women then seemed to snap out of their daze, their faces flushing red. Huang Quanchuan coughed lightly, trying to appear calm, while Tie Zhuangzhui lowered her head shyly.

Drink more beer? Their stomachs were already protesting. Take off their underwear? In front of Higashino… Although a voice inside them said, “It’s okay if it’s Higashino,” their remaining rationality and shame made it impossible for them to be as open as Kiyama Harumi.

"My...choose punishment."

Huang Quanchuan spoke first, his voice a little weak.

Ironclad Suiri quickly nodded and said, "I...I also choose punishment!"

Since the winner is Kiyama Harumi, not Higashino, they probably won't be made to suffer too much.

Kiyama Harumi's gaze shifted from Higashino to Yomikawa and Tetsuzo Satsuri.

She paused for a few seconds, seemingly thinking. Then she calmly announced, "The punishment is push-ups. Ten for each person."

"push-up?"

Huang Quanchuan was taken aback, then breathed a sigh of relief. This punishment was a piece of cake for her, a guard who had been training for many years.

"no problem!"

She immediately walked to a slightly wider area on the ground, placed her hands on the ground, and easily sat up.

Although Ironclad's physical abilities are not as good as Yomi River's, he still has the basic physical abilities required of a security guard.

She blushed and walked to the side, then tried her best to do push-ups.

However, perhaps because she had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, her movements were a little strained and her posture was somewhat unsteady, but she still managed to complete ten in the end.

During the process, due to their posture, the curves of the two women's breasts, which were covered by their bras, inevitably swayed gently with their movements, which made Higashino's eyes darken slightly as he feasted his eyes.

"Okay, punishment over."

Kiyama Haruo nodded in satisfaction.

The game continues.

Perhaps Higashino Yu's "luck" had really run out, because in the next round, the winner was still Kiyama Haruo!

After Kiyama Harumi's victory, Higashino looked at the cards in his hand and smiled helplessly: "It seems that Lady Luck is starting to favor Dr. Kiyama."

Actually, he had a pretty strong hand this time, with two Qs and Ks, but Kiyama Harumi had a pair of Ks, which forced him to admit defeat.

"So......"

He stood up readily and, under the gazes of the three women—some surprised, some expectant, and some curious—took off his trousers.

Now, he was only wearing a pair of dark, close-fitting underwear, which revealed his well-defined hips and legs and his powerful lower body.

"Well……"

Huang Quanchuan instinctively covered his mouth, feeling a burning sensation in his nasal cavity. Tie Zhuangzui lowered his head completely, his neck turning bright red, unable to bear looking any longer.

Only Kiyama Harumi remained unperturbed, his gaze even seeming to hold a hint of scrutiny.
