12. Act XII

An Jialu once said that to play FiveCardStud, you must learn to hide your feelings, and you must not show your emotions in anger or sorrow, and you must not move whether you draw the ace of hearts or the king of spades. The flop is decisive, and it is to stop as steady as Mount Tai, so that the other party can never guess your hole cards.

As he said this, he sat on the podium at the front of the classroom and leaned slightly, his white arms were exposed in his rolled up white shirt, and his slender and beautiful fingers were skillfully shuffling the playing cards.

Maybe it's the orange sunset at four o'clock in the afternoon that is too warm, or maybe the sparrows flying outside the window are too noisy. In short, Yuan Ziwen was stabbed by this boy's smile.

For a long time afterward, she treated him like a blind fanatic, tirelessly unleashing her worship of the gods.

So at the moment, she sat at the table, and her mind was almost full of his shadow.

Yuan Seed Wen turned over the cards handed by the dealer, took a look at it, and closed it face down. She pretended to be nonchalant, and quickly glanced at the other three's cards.

Vivi's cards are two pairs of jacks, a 7 of diamonds and a 6 of spades.

The dealer said, "J is a pair of calls." ”

Sister Weiwei's face was as light as if she was drinking afternoon tea, she picked up a chip with her fingers and threw it out, "Ten thousand." ”

The little boy next to her shrugged his shoulders and clasped his cards, "No." ”

Luo Qianjun raised his eyes and glanced at her, and did the same thing.

Seed Wen held a chip tightly in her palm, and she now had a pair of 8s, a king of spades, and a 9 of diamonds. If she wants to win against Sister Weiwei, the safest way is to draw a king.

There are fifty-two cards in a deck, each with an equal chance of being drawn, and unless you have the ability to instantly remember and engrave the order into your brain when shuffling the cards, you will never be able to accurately calculate the next card. The only thing you can rely on is the good luck that you can get with confidence.

Yuan Ziwen looked at Sister Weiwei, she was also staring at herself, and the smile on the corner of her lips contained a hint of provocation.

Frankly speaking, Sister Weiwei is very beautiful, and there is a smell of wind and dust that has been polished by the years. Yuan Ziwen remembered that she once asked Bai Chen, why did she like herself?

Bai Chen pinched her cheek, her peach blossom eyes were full of delicate tenderness, and he said, "Because I feel very happy with you." ”

Yuan Ziwen blinked his dry eyes and threw the chips out, "I'll follow." ”

The dealer draws the last card and places it in the hands of both of them.

Yuan Ziwen took a deep breath and his hand trembled slightly.

This feeling is like being sent to the exam paper by the class representative, and I am eager to see the scores but I don't dare to read them all at once, so I have to remove the hand that covers my eyes little by little, and keep praying in my heart.

Sister Weiwei took the lead in opening the cards, "J, 6 two pairs." ”

Yuan Ziwen almost cried out in surprise, and eagerly turned over his cards, "K, 8 pairs!" ”

Win! She actually drew a king.

Luo Qianjun breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at her with satisfaction.

Sister Weiwei's love did not fluctuate, "Don't be too happy, this is just the beginning." ”

The so-called one blow, once the good luck comes, it is unstoppable.

Then the original seed was docile and took almost all the chips on the table. Those colorful chips were like sweet and delicious candy, rolling over and making her feel more satisfied than ever.

Many people like to gamble, not because they want money, but because they want to enjoy this feeling of victory, as if they are finally recognized by the world.

Little did she know that the sound of chips colliding with each other was so beautiful and pleasant.

Sister Weiwei drew an 8 of hearts, threw it on the table casually, and glanced at the little boy next to her.

The boy followed the card, "No." ”

Luo Qianjun's luck tonight was obviously not in the state, he slowly staggered the two cards in front of him, frowned, and closed them a little irritably.

The dealer said, "K, Q are a pair of calls." ”

Yuan Ziwen quietly sorted out the cards, her face looking vivid and crystal in the reflection of the light, full of confidence that she had not seen in a long time. She fluffily threw out her chips, "Fifty thousand." ”

"I'll follow."

Sister Weiwei indifferently took the dealer's card, and her action of lifting the card was always unhurried, as if she was under control. She pressed the card with her fingers, her eyebrows furrowed, "Do you guess this round, do you have such good luck?" ”

Yuan Ziwen didn't want to play tricks with her, "Don't you know when you open the cards?" ”

"I'm stuoping." Sister Wei Wei suddenly pushed all the chips to the middle of the table, raised her slender neck, and squinted at the original seed temperature.

"Seed temperature, don't worry, there is another round." Luo Qianjun whispered beside him.

Yuan Ziwen looked at the opponent's cards, and then looked at his own. She now has 9, 10, Q, K, and if the next one is a J, then Sister Vivi can't win against herself anyway.

But what if not?

As soon as this thought came to him, Yuan Ziwen's will began to waver. The most taboo gambling card is hesitation, looking ahead and thinking about it, and it is easy to fall into the trap of the opponent if you are not careful. Sister Weiwei has always been cautious and conservative, and this round suddenly came to confidence, is she bluffing or winning?

Yuan Ziwen didn't believe that the J was really in her hands.

"Okay, I'll do it too."

With a wave of her hand, she toppled down a mountain of stacked chips and spread them out on the table, surging towards each other in a majestic manner. Luo Qianjun wanted to stop her, but it was too late.

Sister Wei nodded appreciatively and turned her cards over.

“7,8,9,10,J。”

Yuan Ziwen's heart suddenly cooled, and his fists clenched subconsciously. However, she quickly reacted and picked up the last card as she pretended not to care at all, "I only have a pair of queens, and you won." ”

"Looks like my luck has returned." Sister Weiwei smiled coquettishly.

The dealer gathered the tide of chips to her, and a blank space suddenly appeared in front of the original seed warm table, making her feel dizzy and dazzling.

It was as if he had suddenly fallen from the top of a mountain, and the soles of his feet could no longer guess the solid dirt.

The dealer walked over with a box of chips, "Who wants chips?" ”

"I want to." The original seed temperature is quickly connected.

"You still want it? You've already asked for a lot! Luo Qianjun immediately stopped the dealer, and his voice became stern.

Sister Wei Wei fiddled with the chips while Shi Shiran said: "If you quit now, even if you lose, you have to think clearly." ”

"Lose or lose, we don't have time to waste here." Luo Qianjun stood up as he spoke, and grabbed Yuan Zi Wen's arm, but Yuan Zi Wen didn't move.

"Seed Wen, let's go!"

Yuan Ziwen raised her eyes, and a layer of mist was covered in her eyes, as if the mountain rain was about to come in the evening, which made people accidentally suck in.

"I'm not leaving." She spat out word by word, in a resolute tone.

"I'll go!"

Luo Qianjun almost roared, and the strength in his hand increased. But Yuan Ziwen desperately grabbed the corner of the gaming table, her nails were pale, she straightened her back like a little beast forced to the cliff, staring at Sister Weiwei opposite.

"I want chips!" She said it again.

Without waiting for Luo Qianjun to stop her, she quickly stood up, grabbed a chip from the dealer's arms and threw it out.

The bet is the opening and cannot be withdrawn.

Luo Qianjun looked at her stubborn and resolute appearance, and knew that she would not give up if she didn't win tonight.

After so many years, in fact, the temperature of the original seeds has not changed at all.

There is always a fire burning in her heart, whether it is out of vanity or paranoia, in short, what she has to do must be done. No matter how much you sacrifice, even if you push yourself to a dead end, you don't know what regret is. She admired Anjialu back then, and it is the same now.

For her, this gamble is not only to win back Bai Chen, but also to win back her dignity.

"Since you bet, go ahead, you can sit aside if you don't want to play." Sister Weiwei chuckled.

Luo Qianjun knew that he couldn't stop Yuan Ziwen, so he walked quickly to the other side of the house, took out his mobile phone and started calling. Bai Chen's kid has been fucking turned off, but he has no other contact information except for this number. Knowing that Yuan Ziwen was in a relationship with Bai Chen, Luo Qianjun was the first to jump out and object. With the subtle intuition between men, he had long seen that he was not a good guy.

This time, I called it and it turned on.

Luo Qianjun was overjoyed and angry the moment he heard Bai Chen's voice, and he said viciously: "Bai Chen, you bastard, that Ren Weiwei is gambling in the casino now, you fucking get out of here!" ”

Luo Qianjun sat on the sofa and watched the battle from a distance, only to see that Yuan Ziwen's movements were not as natural as just now. And Sister Weiwei began to win like a fish in water, and quietly withdrew her chips one by one. The most fearful thing at the gambling table is impetuousness, and Yuan Ziwen is already powerless.

In this round, Sister Weiwei has A against K in hand, and the original seed temperature is drawn to 5 pairs of Q.

The dealer said, "A, K bets." ”

The atmosphere became deadlocked, and tension was in the air. Obviously sitting under the air conditioner, the original seed-warm clothes were sticky and greasy on the back, and every breath of air exhaled was scorching high.

The more anxious I became, the more my consciousness became a mess, and all my emotions were clearly displayed on my face.

Sister Weiwei was just about to speak, when there was a sudden commotion at the door, and the waiter shouted loudly, "Mr. Bai, you can't go in!" ”

Bai Chen is here.

Primordial Seed's tense spirit broke down in an instant, and she cautiously turned her head to look at the door. For her, Bai Chen is the hole card that she fears and wants to see.

Ignoring the waiter's interception, Bai Chen forcibly broke into the private room and rushed to Yuan Ziwen with an arrow.

"Seed temperature!"

The voice that couldn't be more familiar, the face that couldn't be more familiar, he looked at her with a light of pity and anxiety in his eyes. Yuan Ziwen sat in his position like a puppet, unable to move. She was afraid that as soon as she opened her mouth, she would shed tears.

Bai Chen said softly: "Zi Wen, go back with Luo Qianjun, I'll go to you later, okay?" ”

Yuan Ziwen didn't dare to raise her head, she still stared straight at Sister Weiwei opposite. She knew that if she showed a hint of weakness at this juncture, everything she did tonight would be meaningless.

She can't go, she wants to win.

Bai Chen was a little anxious, "You are not Sister Weiwei's opponent......"

"How do you know I'm going to lose to her?" Yuan Ziwen's eyes tightened, and he said in a cold tone that he was not familiar with.

Bai Chen was stunned, he had never seen such a primordial seed temperature, as if a thorn was erected all over his body.

Sister Wei Wei clenched her arms and tilted her head a little impatiently, "Bai Chen, I have a good bet with Xiao Wen, what are you making a mess about?" ”

Bai Chen looked at the chips on the table, and his face changed. He walked quickly to her side and said anxiously, "Sister Weiwei, if you want to play FiveCardStud, I can accompany you......"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly slipped and stepped on the chips scattered on the ground. The little boy hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, Bai Chen owed, and knocked over the wine glass in front of him with a lift of his hand. The champagne inside spilled on the table, and Sister Vivi was shocked, hurriedly lifting her cards and stepping back.

At this moment of lightning, Yuan Ziwen caught a glimpse of the hole card she was holding tightly in her palm, which was the 10 of hearts.

Sister Wei Wei frowned unhappily, "Bai Chen, you stand aside, it's none of your business here!" ”

Bai Chen wanted to say something, but Sister Weiwei ignored him at all, but looked at Yuan Ziwen, "Are you following or not?" ”

"I'll follow."

"How big do you want to bet?"

Yuan Ziwen roughly calculated the chips on the table in her heart, and she concluded that she was absolutely not wrong just now, Sister Weiwei's hole card was 10 hearts, and she won it.

She felt relieved, and even said with some contempt: "How many chips you have, how much bigger I am than you." ”

"You're crazy!" Luo Qianjun's eyes widened in shock.

Yuan Ziwen gave him a determined look and signaled him not to worry.

"You little girl has a lot of guts." Sister Wei Wei raised her voice, "But I want to remind you that this is the last round, and winning or losing is here." Why don't we open the cards at the same time and see what the final result is? ”

"Okay." Yuan Ziwen stood up, and she felt her whole body ready to go, as if she had drunk strong wine, and her chest burned more and more fiercely.

It was an unstoppable, unquenchable thirst for victory.

"Deal."

The last cards of both sides slowly reveal themselves in slow motion.

Sister Vivi's cards are aces against kings, as well as the kings of spades.

The original seed warm card is a pair of 5 pairs of queens, as well as a queen of diamonds.

The world seemed to be muted by a giant remote control, and suddenly nothing could be heard. It was as if a thousand thunderbolts exploded in her head, leaving only an echo like tinnitus, and she froze in place, unable to say a word for a long time.

Why is this happening?

Why does the 10 of hearts turn into the King of spades?
