Chapter 19 The Naughty Kitten, So Cunning!
Just like Pei Qingning couldn't see through his little tricks.
Gu Zhibei was also completely unaware of her "cheating methods".
His sixth sense told him that the other person's occasional glances up must be related to her secret.
But the most urgent task is not to investigate how she cheated or what the underlying principles were.
Instead, we should prohibit her cheating methods as much as possible.
Drawing jokers is a game that heavily relies on luck.
The only impact is on the player's words, actions, and even subtle changes in facial expressions.
Now, even Gu Zhibei himself doesn't know which card is the joker.
Even with her superpower of mind reading, she couldn't find any clues in the blank pages of the book.
The situation reached a stalemate.
His method seems to have actually worked.
Pei Qingning stared at the playing cards without saying a word.
His gaze was unfocused, without any direction.
It was as if they had never imagined this would happen.
Gu Zhibei also followed her example and remained silent.
He didn't look at the cards.
My gaze was drawn to the girl's hands.
The two small hands hanging in front of her body unconsciously rubbed against each other, the movements delicate and soft, like two little cloud lambs sulking.
The boy suddenly realized this at that moment.
Although she appears cold and aloof, like a lifelike robot lacking emotional modules, she is not moved by her indifferent inner feelings.
However, she couldn't help rubbing her thumb, subtly pursing her lips, and occasionally her brows furrowed in melancholy...
These subtle yet undeniably present little gestures constantly reveal the girl's secretly calculating and conflicted thoughts.
Stripped of those insignificant external labels, she is just an ordinary girl with her own joys and sorrows.
...
despair.
The girl's fingertips suddenly landed on the back of the card.
Pei Qingning made her choice.
She flipped up the leftmost playing card.
The movements were slow and gentle, as if defusing a time bomb that could explode at any moment.
Soon, the girl let out a very soft sigh.
The bomb did not explode.
Safety.
As the criminal who planted the bomb, Gu Zhibei felt a little disappointed.
He picked up his hand.
After quickly drawing and playing cards,
There are four cards left in your hand.
He then began shuffling the cards again.
Place it on the coffee table.
"Even if I win, it's okay, maybe I'll just pick it back."
Gu Zhibei offered comforting words of comfort.
Even though he held the Joker, all the pressure seemed to be concentrated on Pei Qingning.
The girl lowered her gaze slightly and sat there quietly.
Her cheeks unconsciously puffed out in a soft, rounded shape, like a child throwing a tantrum, sulking with harmless pettiness.
Pei Qingning flipped over another playing card.
This time she chose the far right.
It's still not a joker.
Good fortune smiled upon her once again.
Looking at the revealed seven of spades,
The forced smile on Gu Zhibei's face disappeared.
One card is drawn, and another card is played.
Finally, what's left is...
Two.
His body gradually tensed up.
Pei Qingning's breathing became more rapid.
The bulging and heaving beneath the school uniform became increasingly noticeable.
The two of them seemed to hear the frantic buzzing of bombs.
Every sound struck their hearts.
"A person's luck has its limits."
Gu Zhibei launched an intimidation campaign.
Pei Qingning's eyelashes trembled slightly, unwilling to be outdone:
"My luck is better than yours."
Her meaning is easy to understand.
For someone being chased by a bear, the way to survive is simple.
It runs faster than its companions.
"Then why are you so nervous?"
Gu Zhibei punctured her bubble shield.
"Don't be afraid, even if I lose, I won't do anything strange to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Pei Qingning's shoulders tremble slightly, and a faint, dull panic suddenly appeared in her eyes.
It's as if when making the bet of "one request," they never considered the possibility of losing.
Think about it the other way around...
She actually had the idea of obediently keeping her promise?
Thoughts flashed through my mind.
Gu Zhibei held his breath.
Under his continuous provocation, the girl seemed to get a little agitated.
Her lower lip was pressed tightly together, her brows were furrowed slightly, and her cheeks were puffing out as if she were grinding her teeth.
I must win!
Gu Zhibei read those words in her resolute gaze.
The two never spoke to each other again.
Only the occasional sparks flying in mid-air conveyed the intensity and tension of the battle.
Pei Qingning reached out her hand.
The index finger touched one of the playing cards.
She looked up, as if trying to observe something.
But she met the boy's gaze, which seemed to be both smiling and not smiling.
Pei Qingning clenched her fists, her pouting lips revealing a hint of frustration.
She finally stopped her little antics.
He gritted his teeth slightly and flipped over the playing cards.
The girl's gaze suddenly froze.
Hey.
Ta-da.
The clown danced swaying under the spotlight.
Ascend the stage, salute,
Beneath its utterly obsequious makeup lies a nakedly mocking smile.
Lost.
We lost again.
Pei Qingning looked bewildered, as if she had not yet recovered from the shock she had just experienced.
Suddenly, a boy's careful reminder came to her ears:
"The rule we agreed on from the beginning is that you have to accept the consequences of your bet. The loser must unconditionally grant the winner one request. There is no going back on your word or cheating."
"..."
Pei Qingning's gaze fell helplessly on the toes of his shoes. She dared not look directly at the boy in front of her, and only dared to lower her eyes timidly. Her long eyelashes trembled rapidly, like the wings of a butterfly suddenly startled.
She puffed out her cheeks sullenly, but because of the rules of the game, she couldn't act spoiled or cheat. She could only stay there listlessly, her restless little hands secretly clutching the corner of her school uniform and gently twisting the fabric.
"Even if you puff out your cheeks and act cute, it won't work. You were the one who suggested the game, including the bet."
Gu Zhibei leaned back lazily in his chair, one leg casually crossed over the other, his posture relaxed and comfortable.
"It's too late to run now."
"Require…"
As she spoke, Pei Qingning seemed to secretly glare at him.
"I haven't decided what to ask for yet... After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I need to think it over carefully."
Gu Zhibei remained calm and unhurried.
He's like a wicked cat with a wicked sense of humor, clearly ready to paw at its cornered prey.
But he refused.
Since Pei Qingning is willing to pay the price for her defeat, then Gu Zhibei should collect some interest in advance.
After suffering so many setbacks at her a few days ago, how could I possibly let her off so easily?
"Just wait patiently. I'll tell you whenever you've made up your mind. You can be anxious in the meantime."
Gu Zhibei slowly got up and stretched.
He walked towards the door.
Before leaving, he also left behind a threatening letter:
"Maybe I'll make a request that's very difficult, very embarrassing, and that you'd definitely be too shy to do?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl's body trembled violently.
A mixture of anxiety and embarrassment instantly welled up in her clear eyes, and even the tips of her ears turned a beautiful blush.
Naughty little cat, so cunning!
