A Card Shark’s World - C38
“Liu Zi, why are you here? Weren’t you in the county?”
I threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out. Looking at this Li Rong who even I didn’t recognize, she had thick makeup and was no longer as pure as before.
“I came to Jilin City to do something. Didn’t I see you in the elevator? Why couldn’t I find you in the Tsinghua University? So you came to Jilin, was that man your boyfriend?”
Li Rong didn’t answer my question, but pulled me to a room and entered. This should be the room she’s been renting for a long time, and it’s also a luxurious suite. It looks like she’s living a pretty good life.
After we sat down, she took out a cigarette, lit it and took a long drag, “Sachiko, have you been waiting for me in the corridor for three hours? I didn’t expect you to be as persistent as before! ”
I couldn’t suppress the anger in my heart anymore. Looking at the uncaring Li Rong and the cigarette in her hand, I knew that she was no longer the pure and lovely tablemate that I remembered. She had changed, and now even her parents couldn’t recognize her anymore, right?
“Do you know how worried I’ve been about you since you disappeared? “Last time you asked me if I loved you, but after that you came to Jilin and followed such a man without a word. Look at you now, with your heavy makeup and your cigarette, what the hell are you doing?”
“Liu Zi, you and I are just deskmates, do you think you have the qualifications to discipline me? “Truth be told, you and I are two people who have never interacted before. You also saw my current appearance, so I was very surprised to see you today. I wanted to say that we shouldn’t interact anymore.”
Looking at Li Rong’s ice-cold face, my heart felt very cold for no reason. Yes, it was very cold, I didn’t know why she turned into this state, and she wouldn’t tell me why, right?
“Li Rong, as long as you say this isn’t the life you want, I, the sixth son, will definitely treat you well. I’ll tell you now that I, the sixth son, have always liked you a lot, and I don’t even think I’m worthy of you. Can you stop being so cheap? Come with me, I can raise you now!”
Li Rong finished the rest of her cigarette, then looked at me and said, “Sixteen, you said that some things can be washed clean if they’re dirty, but some things can never be washed clean if she’s dirty, do you understand? “Thank you for being able to tell me this, but I, Li Rong, am destined to not have the fortune to be together with you.”
“Today is just like a wonderful meeting. We won’t meet again in the future. I also hope that you can forget about me just like this. Just treat me as a passerby in your life. See you six times.”
After saying that, Li Rong gave me a kiss on the lips. This was the first time I touched Li Rong so close, and it was also the last time. After kissing her, Li Rong opened the door and left.
Listening to the sound of high heels leaving, I was stunned in this suite. This is a kiss goodbye. I didn’t think that I could be so nostalgic and like a person.
I know that my feelings towards Li Rong were very hazy before, but now I know that I did like her, but like she said, we were destined to be unrelated people.
Perhaps this was my first love, but it was already a thing of the past. I ordered a bottle of white wine at the hotel, found the room that Tengu prepared for me, blew out a bottle of white wine in one breath, and fell asleep on the bed.
By the time I woke up, it was already 10 pm. This bottle of white wine could be considered as me bidding farewell to the past. After putting on my clothes, I headed back to the casino.
There were even more people than yesterday. I found a place with the most people, and it turned out that this casino had other projects. In the middle of the casino was a transparent glass box with two crickets inside.
The spectators were all holding tickets with the names of the crickets in their hands. It seemed like they were betting on which cricket would win. It seemed like this casino would offer this kind of game every few days. No wonder there were so many people here.
“Why did you rest for so long? When I went to knock on the door to get you to eat in the morning, you refused to open the door. If it wasn’t for the fact that I saw you enter with the white wine in your hand, I would have thought you had lost it.”
“What do you think? Bro, this is a good game, isn’t it? Every other day, these fighting crickets come to increase the freshness of the casino. Don’t you know, people these days always have very high standards?”
“It’s in Jilin City. If I don’t do it like this, then no one will be coming. It’s hard to earn money now, so it must be hard for your brother!”
“What do you think? It’s good to see that you’re not in a very good mood. Go and bet a few rounds. The victor or loser is big brother, and this is your home. You can do whatever you want.”
I don’t know why Tengu is being so courteous to me, but I really need to make two good bets so that I can recover myself. Otherwise, my heart will always feel uncomfortable.
I came to a table where the dice were played. These dice were gambling tools that tested one’s ears. Actually, every single point had a different sound of something hitting the ground. It was just that no ordinary person would be able to hear it.
Due to the side of the dot, the surface area of the surface contact with the dice cup was different due to the number of dots, thus the sounds that appeared were different. As long as the master stopped according to the sound of the dice, he would be able to determine whether it was the size or the number of points.
The reason why I’m here is to see how my ears are doing after practicing for a long time. Listening to the sound of the dice, I determined its size.
The people around me started to throw their chips. I put a lot of pressure on them, but didn’t expect that it would really be that big. Looks like my ears aren’t bad.
At this moment, a young man asked me to make a bet, and I knew that he had been watching me from the side all this time. It seemed that this young man was also an old man, and was very likely to be one of the hidden lights in the Heavenly Dog Faction, because I relied on my ears and had no skill at all.
That’s why this boy immediately suggested a bet with me. It must be the dark light of this match, and this time the boy chose to bet with me over the big ones, it’s a very simple game, each person draws one to see whose card is bigger. The old A’s are the biggest of all the cards, everyone can draw six cards and use the biggest one to compare the cards.
This is a test of one’s martial arts ability. It is to steal away some of the big cards, so that the opponent won’t have any big cards. It seems like this young man’s martial arts is very good, or else he wouldn’t bet with me like this.
A new pack of poker cards were opened, and Tengu also appeared by our side. This time it was him washing the cards and we were drawing, it seems that this guy still wants to test my ability or else he wouldn’t be here himself. He wanted me to play a few rounds today to test me.
The card in Tengu’s hand was about to fly up into the air. This guy was constantly washing the cards, and could be said to have very messed up the cards, and then he put it down for the two of us to grab the cards. While he was washing the cards, we had already started recording the positions of the cards, but I only know the positions of the three old A’s.
As long as he doesn’t have an A, I will win. However, I still feel a little uneasy in my heart, after all, I did not get an A, so if he wants to take us, it would be a tie.
The cards in my hand are 3 A, 2 K, and 1 J, so I chose the big ones. I took out an A card to play with him, and the rest of the cards couldn’t be mixed into the pile of cards. Even if they were abandoned, the next cards wouldn’t appear, so I could only make the big ones become fewer and fewer.
As expected, the other side managed to get the only remaining boss. The two of us tied and Tengu continued to wash up the remaining cards. I don’t know what the other five cards are, but they gave me some obstacles.
