In the first game, I lost a few hundred dollars at random. In the second game, I had a good hand, but the dealer didn't follow.After ten minutes of playing, I had dropped two chips. I had only seven large $1,000 chips left in my hand, and several smaller ones in other colors.

I looked at the time, stood up, smiled and said to Cangyu, "Come on, show me the other tables."

The rest of the time, I played BLACK JACK in front of another table. I got lucky and won a thousand dollars, but then I lost.I had no expression on my face, no joy when I won, no regret when I lost, as if I were holding pieces of paper instead of chips representing a thousand dollars.

I've tried again a few table, dice, baccarat, and so on several kind of gamble, conscious for ten minutes every table in front of me, but I only allow myself to lose $one thousand, if you win, I'll play a little longer, if lost one thousand dollars, I will stand up on one side on the sidelines, until ten minutes before you leave.

For more than an hour, I had tried all the different kinds of bets in the casino. Then I looked at my hand. I had only a few hundred chips left of $10,000.

Cangyu looked at my face with no expression. He probably thought I was unhappy about losing the money. He smiled in a low voice and said, "Mr. Chen, would you like to try your luck by changing some chips?"

I shook my head in token of wanting to rest.Cangyu led me to the lounge area on one side of the casino, where there was a small bar. I ordered a beer, then looked at Cangyu and smiled. "Thank you for staying with me so long."Then he handed her the hundreds of dollars in chips he had left.
