Chapter 28: Saying No, Wanting Yes
Obviously, this woman named Bai Shishi drew a card with the smallest spade 2, but now when the card is revealed, it’s actually a spade A.
Cheater!
Lin Tian suddenly realized that this woman is also an expert in cheating.
"Kid, it’s your turn to reveal your card!" After seeing Bai Shishi’s card, Xiaogang raised his head and said to Lin Tian with an air of confidence.
Lin Tian glanced at the smug look on Xiaogang’s face and knew that this guy was most likely a cheating expert too.
"I fear this round is a draw!" Even before the match result was revealed, Lin Tian had already anticipated the outcome.
Revealing the card, the card in Lin Tian’s hand was a heart A.
At least he stood in an undefeatable position.
"Huh?" Xiaogang was a bit surprised when he saw Lin Tian’s card, but quickly laughed and said, "Looks like you have pretty good luck, drawing an A!"
"But it’s just a matter of time before you lose!"
As the words fell, Xiaogang revealed his card, which was a diamond A!
A round with three A’s, from an average person’s perspective, could only mean that all three had good luck.
But all three of them present knew what was going on.
"Before revealing the cards, he said it was a draw!" Unlike Xiaogang, who thought Lin Tian was just lucky, Bai Shishi saw the situation more deeply.
When she revealed her card, he exclaimed in surprise, could it be he saw through everything?
With such doubts, the silent Bai Shishi finally spoke, "What were you exclaiming about just now?"
"Exclaim?" Lin Tian thought Bai Shishi believed he was being disrespectful by cursing, so he quickly explained, "I just said it casually, I didn’t mean to be disrespectful to you!"
"Do you want to die, kid?" Xiaogang said with a sinister look, ready to start a fight.
Bai Shishi’s face also turned red and pale, feeling ashamed being addressed like that by a student younger than her.
"No, no, I didn’t mean it that way!" Lin Tian stuck out his tongue, why did the explanation just get worse?
"Alright, let’s continue playing!" Bai Shishi didn’t get angry over it and decided to test Lin Tian’s skills again.
She was determined to see if he really had good luck or actual skills.
The second round started, Bai Shishi drew a diamond 3, Xiaogang drew a club 5, and as for Lin Tian, he honestly drew another heart A.
There’s no way around it, these two have skills, drawing other cards would surely mean a loss.
Because of the strange event in the first round, before revealing the cards this round, Lin Tian was curious to see how they were cheating.
He changed his gaze, ready to see through their tricks.
"Reveal the cards!" Bai Shishi ordered, revealing her card first.
As the voice sounded, Lin Tian noticed that Bai Shishi had three cards at her wrist, and the moment she picked up her card, it was flicked into her sleeve, quickly swapped with another drawn into her palm by the little finger.
The whole process was lightning-fast, probably less than three seconds, and if Lin Tian hadn’t activated his special sight, he wouldn’t have noticed.
But then, Lin Tian’s gaze fixed on Bai Shishi, noticing a few cards enticingly held at her chest.
"What are you looking at?" Bai Shishi felt a strange sense of being seen through completely by Lin Tian’s gaze.
A gaze that made people feel inexplicably terrified.
"Nothing, nothing!" Lin Tian, realizing his impropriety, quickly withdrew his gaze, but his peripheral vision unintentionally kept sneaking glances at Bai Shishi.
Bai Shishi, feeling uncomfortable, inexplicably covered her chest with her right hand.
As expected, Xiaogang’s method was similar to Bai Shishi’s, hiding cards in his sleeve and swapping them during the reveal moment.
Now, the table again had three A’s.
This time, Xiaogang did not mock Lin Tian, but his face turned serious.
Drawing an A twice in a row, it surely wasn’t just luck.
This young student in front had some skills.
Bai Shishi saw the situation more deeply than Xiaogang, noticing Lin Tian drew two A’s in a row, both heart A’s.
This also made Bai Shishi regard him with new respect.
Initially thought to be an arrogant student, it turned out the opponent was quite interesting.
"Come on, continue!" This time Bai Shishi was prepared to see what other skills Lin Tian had.
"No need to continue!" Lin Tian suddenly lost interest and said.
"Why?" Bai Shishi looked at him with a puzzled gaze.
"Don’t think I’m rude, but if the three of us keep playing like this, we’ll get a draw playing from now until tonight, or even tomorrow morning!" Lin Tian said meaningfully.
"Interesting!" Upon hearing this, Bai Shishi knew Lin Tian should have seen through her and Xiaogang’s methods; otherwise, why would he say such things?
"Oh wow, kid, you’re pretty cocky, saying big words after just two rounds!" Xiaogang said, unconvinced.
"Xiaogang, go out for a bit!" Suddenly, Bai Shishi commanded Xiaogang.
"Miss Bai!" Xiaogang noticeably didn’t want to leave.
"Hmm?" With Bai Shishi’s beautiful eyes staring, Xiaogang scurried out of the restaurant.
"Bai Shishi!" Bai Shishi extended her right hand.
Lin Tian felt perplexed by Bai Shishi’s sudden gesture, but nevertheless extended his right hand to shake hers.
Bai Shishi’s hand was very soft, almost boneless, the skin smooth and elastic like milk.
Unintentionally, Lin Tian’s little finger brushed across Bai Shishi’s palm.
Bai Shishi shuddered, feeling a tingling sensation like electricity coursing through her body, an overwhelming urge to pee engulfed her.
"What are you doing?" Bai Shishi appeared to scold Lin Tian, but somewhat like she was flirting.
"Sorry, your hand was so smooth, I couldn’t resist touching it!" Lin Tian, the culprit, awkwardly apologized; this was the boldest move he’d ever made.
Even when he was with Li Li, Lin Tian hadn’t held her hand, let alone teased her palm like that.
"If you dare to be so presumptuous next time, I won’t be so polite!" Bai Shishi’s smile turned into a serious face. Although physically enjoying such a teasing gesture, she verbally refused.
"Yes, yes!" Lin Tian nodded repeatedly.
"I have a question to ask you, and I hope you answer honestly!" Bai Shishi changed her tone, becoming serious.
"Depends on the question!" Lin Tian’s heart skipped a beat; could this woman have found out about his ability to see through things?
No way, how did she see it?
While Lin Tian felt a mix of emotions inside, Bai Shishi suddenly asked, "Can you see through our cheating methods?"
Hearing this question, Lin Tian took a deep breath to calm his frantic emotions, hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Upon receiving a definite answer, Bai Shishi’s beautiful eyes sparkled with green light, as if she could devour Lin Tian, "Quick, tell me, how did you see it?"
