Chapter 646 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
Once people's competitive spirit is ignited, everyone goes crazy trying to drink the other person to death.
Compared to the excitement of others basking in the alcohol, Bai Chengci sat at the card table, remaining indifferent throughout, like an outsider.
He clearly didn't know how to play these games, yet he accepted the punishment with a nonchalant air. If it weren't for the fact that there were other people playing, just watching him would make it seem like he was drowning his sorrows in alcohol.
Xu Yunzhi stood beside him, her heart pounding with fear. She tried several times to tell Bai Chengci to stop drinking, but Bai Chengci ignored her.
Jiang Xiyu tilted her head slightly and rested her face against the back of the sofa, as if she was a little tired.
From an angle that Zhou Xi couldn't see, he subtly placed his gaze on Bai Chengci.
Watching him being forced to drink, watching his porcelain-white face gradually turn red.
Playing a game you don't know how to play is insane.
Jiang Xiyu frowned, lowered her eyes slightly, and fumbled for her phone, intending to send a message to Bai Chengci to leave.
But the spot next to him slightly sank, and when he felt the person next to him approach, Jiang Xiyu paused in his hand holding the phone, a hint of annoyance and impatience showing in his eyes.
Just as Zhou Xi was about to say something to Jiang Xiyu, his phone suddenly vibrated.
Jiang Xiyu heard the sound but didn't turn her head to look at him. She simply reminded him, "Brother Zhou, your phone is ringing."
Zhou Xi looked somewhat displeased at being disturbed.
He took out his phone, about to hang up, but when he saw who was calling, he had to get up and say to Jiang Xiyu, "I'm going out to take this call."
Jiang Xiyu hummed in agreement.
Zhou Xi then left the private room with the phone.
Clearly, that phone call was important to him.
After everyone left, Jiang Xiyu sat up slightly.
The background wall behind him, with its flickering blue lights, perfectly accentuated his cold and aloof demeanor.
This time, his gaze fell on Bai Chengci without any attempt to conceal it.
Even though the gaze was clear and light, it carried an intense feeling that could not be ignored.
Bai Chengci seemed to sense something, and his gaze shifted slightly. He saw Jiang Xiyu open his lips, as if silently saying to him, "Stop playing around."
Their eyes met briefly, and Bai Chengci's eyelashes trembled slightly as she lowered them, as if to avoid his words, or perhaps to express her grievance at his earlier indifference.
He didn't listen to Jiang Xiyu, but silently drank a glass of wine.
Every time I drink it, I cough. This time, I coughed so hard that there was even light in my eyes.
Jiang Xiyu: "..."
Ugh, this is really annoying.
Those people are all experts at playing cards; how could Bai Chengci possibly get a good hand?
Jiang Xiyu stood up irritably, walked over and said, "I'll shuffle the cards."
When the young men saw that he was going to participate, they immediately whistled excitedly.
Jiang Xiyu rolled up her sleeves, then walked to the center position they had specially cleared out and took the card.
Zhou Xi's businesses involved these areas, and Jiang Xiyu, being by his side, naturally learned a lot from him.
A pair of slender hands, which looked sexy and powerful under the light.
Jiang Xiyu's shuffling movements were incredibly smooth and swift. He flipped and stacked the cards so fast that it was almost impossible to see them clearly. For a moment, the playing cards seemed to have become toys in his hands. He shuffled and fanned them out like magic, displaying them to everyone in front of him.
Bai Chengci's originally calm eyes suddenly seemed to flicker.
The tendons in Jiang Xiyu's wrist bones bulged out, appearing and disappearing with the movement of his fingertips.
One Ace, two Aces, three Aces, four Aces...
In the originally messy deck, all four Aces appeared before everyone's eyes, and the Ace of Hearts seemed to bounce right in front of Bai Chengci.
"Brother, you...you're amazing at cards..." Lu Ziqi exclaimed in amazement, as did the others.
"Is this some kind of magic trick?"
"No, opening the fan is as easy as drinking water?"
Jiang Xiyu ignored them, but looked at Bai Chengci, raised an eyebrow and curled her lips.
Bai Chengci stared at his hand, stunned for once. Then she came to her senses and stared at the heart-shaped Ace of Hearts in front of her for a long time. Suddenly she raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Xiyu. Her gaze was calm but seemed to be filled with an indescribable fervor.
These hands are so nimble and so alluring.
Bai Chengci felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest, and all the frustration she had just felt vanished.
In fact, Jiang Xiyu did it on purpose to show him.
He could indeed tell that Bai Chengci was unhappy.
Seeing that Xiao Lvcha had regained the same eagerness she had shown him when he was mixing drinks at the bar, Jiang Xiyu put the cards away.
Shuffling and dealing cards were all very simple for Jiang Xiyu.
Having frequented casinos with Zhou Xi, one inevitably learns some of these tricks of the trade.
If Bai Chengci hadn't kept losing, Jiang Xiyu really wouldn't have bothered playing with them.
After all, if they keep drinking like this, they'll probably drink themselves to death.
The advantage of knowing some tricks is that Jiang Xiyu can control the cards in his hand and the cards he deals.
In the first round, Jiang Xiyu didn't make it too obvious; everyone just played what they were supposed to play.
Bai Chengci wasn't having a good run of luck. When he heard that he had lost, he didn't show any expression on his face. He picked up his wine glass and drank it.
Lu Ziqi was indeed dealt a good hand. He glanced at his cards, then at Jiang Xiyu, and smiled happily.
The second one was the same.
Jiang Xiyu didn't let Bai Chengci lose until the third round.
He did it subtly, as if Bai Chengci had simply won by chance.
Xu Yunzhi immediately exclaimed happily, "You won, Brother Cheng Ci, you finally won!"
Bai Chengci's expression was indifferent; she only glanced cautiously at Jiang Xiyu.
Jiang Xiyu didn't look at him; her cold face gave her an air of righteous indignation.
Bai Chengci slowly lowered her eyes, a barely perceptible smile appearing on her lips, which vanished in an instant.
Those young masters were good at taking a bet; when they lost at cards, they each downed a cup.
The alcohol was very strong, and they couldn't handle it.
Lu Ziqi was also straightforward; after finishing his drink, he urged everyone to start the next round.
Unexpectedly, Bai Chengci seemed to be blessed with good fortune.
Soon, it was other people who were drinking.
One glass after another, and the wine on the table was almost gone.
Later, some of the young men got so drunk they couldn't take it anymore and just slumped over the card table, admitting defeat: "I'm not playing anymore, I'm so dizzy."
Lu Ziqi didn't actually drink much, but he wasn't a big drinker.
His head was spinning a little, but he still wouldn't let Bai Chengci off the hook, so he forced himself to stay alert and said, "Continue."
Bai Chengci glanced at him lightly, her chin slightly raised, her expression seemingly somewhat arrogant.
They looked as if they had found a powerful backer.
Lu Ziqi: "..."
Damn it, are you trying to provoke me?
Lu Ziqi, slumped over the table with droopy eyelids, called out, "Brother, hurry up and deal the cards."
Jiang Xiyu didn't deal any more cards. He simply put down his cards, rested his hands slightly on the table, and leaned forward, saying in a languid tone, "Not playing anymore, huh?"
His voice was very deep and magnetic.
It sounded like he was speaking to Lu Ziqi, but it also sounded like he was speaking to Bai Chengci.
Bai Chengci paused for a moment, then met Jiang Xiyu's gaze and obediently nodded, her face flushed. Changing her previous sullen demeanor, she said very obediently, "I'm not playing anymore."
