Her phone rang shortly after and it was from Sheng Ting.
When she picked up the call she heard Sheng Ting’s anxious voice. “Gu Mang, I left my phone in the lounge and Sister Su looked for your contact.”
Without any expression, Gu Mang hummed a “mm” before annoyance appeared on her face. “Tell them not to bother me again.”
Sheng Ting replied, “Sure, let me settle this.”
…
Returning to the dormitory, the sound of Meng Jinyang and the others playing could be heard from the corridor. Gu Mang opened the door and saw the group of girls sitting around the table. They were playing with poker cards.
Seeing Gu Mang, Meng Jinyang laughed cheerfully. “Gu Mang, you’re back.”
A smile surfaced in Gu Mang’s eyes when she saw so many slips of paper pasted on Meng Jinyang’s face. She nodded and passed the food to her, “They’re for you guys.”
The other girls were especially surprised. “We’re included too? Gu Mang, you’re really nice.”
Gu Mang placed her bag on the bed and took off her jacket as she hung it off to the side. “What are you playing?”
As Meng Jinyang was arranging her cards, she explained, “The four of us are playing on our own. We’re going by the rule of picking the four of hearts. The one who finishes playing all her cards wins. There are a lot of us so we’re taking turns to play.”
“Sister Mang, do you want to join us?” Shen Huan laughed. “Jinyang lost terribly today. Why not help her win two rounds?”
Gu Mang’s gaze fell on Meng Jinyang’s face. It should be the case where the loser for the round would get a slip of paper pasted on her face.
Meng Jinyang’s face was covered in paper. The others only had two or three slips on their faces.
Gu Mang raised her eyebrow and looked at Meng Jinyang before speaking softly, “Go grab a chair.”
Hearing her words, Meng Jinyang knew that Gu Mang was going to play on her behalf so she quickly brought a chair over.
Gu Mang sat down on her seat and picked up a card with one hand. Cocking her head to one side, she looked at it for a few seconds.
Nonchalant wickedness.
With a single move of her finger, the tip of her index finger made a turn at the bottom card and the whole deck of cards separated before squaring up neatly. She quickly split the cards into two decks before shuffling them in a criss cross manner. She then lifted the deck, letting the cards fall into her palms like water in a waterfall. After repeating the process a few times the cards were neatly shuffled.
She only used one hand for the whole process. It was a smooth process and a joy to the eyes. Everyone was dumbstruck because it was as though they were watching a movie.
Gu Mang had a pair of beautiful hands. Her fingers were pale and slender while her nails were rounded and cleanly trimmed.
Shen Huan blinked. “D*mn, Sister Mang! You’re way too cool!”
It was a professional technique of shuffling cards.
The other girls nodded in tandem and seemed surprised. “Gu Mang, with your skills you could act in movies.”
They had only seen such scenes in movies and videos.
Meng Jinyang knew that Gu Mang excelled in many areas but did not expect her to know how to shuffle cards so well. It seemed like she knew everything outside of the academic world.
Gu Mang swiftly dealt the cards without any expression on her face. The other girls snapped out of their trance and picked up their cards as Gu Mang dealt them.
Meng Jinyang took a glance at Gu Mang’s cards and frowned. Her cards were really bad.
There were no “three” cards.She was going to lose again.
Observing Meng Jinyang’s expression, the others knew that she was going to lose again and looked at each other while trying to suppress their laughter.
However, when they looked at Gu Mang’s face, they could not paste slips of paper on it.
With the four of hearts card in her hand, Gu Mang was the first to go.
She wanted to play three ‘four’ cards and Meng Jinyang hurriedly tugged at her sleeve. “Gu Mang, don’t you want to play one card first.”
Gu Mang raised her eyebrow and replied insipidly, “I’m going to play these three cards.”
She threw out three “four” cards. The other girls looked at each other with hesitation.
They all had cards of threes in their hands but if they were to play bigger cards than Gu Mang, their consecutive cards would be taken apart.
After some hesitation, they passed.
