Chapter 97 - 97 Did I See Wrong?
97 Did I See Wrong?
They had bet on all four suits.
This was similar to those who took the risk and bet on more suits to try and win more, but ended up losing the entire round.
This round had become even more thrilling for everyone. If the bet was completely accurate, the winnings would double. Not only that, but if all four colors were present, then there would be no losers for this round; the only variable was how much each of them would win.
The cards on the table were slowly flipped open. Indeed, all four suits appeared.
The entire venue exploded into a frenzy in an instant; everyone was whooping as they cradled their winnings. Once again, Room No. 9 seemed to be invincible.
Song Wenqi swirled the wine glass in his hand, his legs crossed. He peered at everything downstairs with satisfaction.
However, Lu Ning’s gaze fell upon a few of them…
After winning three rounds in a row, Room No. 9 stopped again and did not continue betting.
When Lu Ning relaxed her eyes, she incidentally spotted the glass room more than ten meters away; Room No. 16, which she had never seen lit up before, was bright today. There were a few people standing in the room; the person on the sofa in the middle seemed to be looking over, and was wearing a tiger mask. He had his legs crossed, seeming a little arrogant.
Lu Ning grimaced slightly. She felt that he looked familiar, and that the eyes behind the mask were staring straight at her.
…
After a few rounds, the people below came to realize that the people in Room No. 16 were as unfathomable as the people in Room No. 9.
In the next few rounds, the accuracy of the bets from these rooms was 100%, without any mistakes.
There was also someone at the gambling table who bet 100% accurately in every round, but no one noticed.
…
Lu Ning seemed to have sensed something. As she left, her gaze swept across Room No. 16 again; and when she went downstairs, she could not help but cast a couple glances at the crowd.
However, Gu Chen and the others had already left the casino before her.
But she saw the black-cloaked boy again; the boy saw her too, and their eyes met again.
The moment their eyes met, neither of them moved or spoke.
——————
Lu Ning returned at the same time as the previous few times. Things were basically the same as the previous days; there was nothing special.
There was only one thing: Lu Ning wanted to ask Gu Chen and Gu Zi if they had followed her to F Prefecture. After hesitating for a bit, however, she did not ask.
The school, the infirmary, the café, and the hospital—Lu Ning ran around to these places as usual.
She also felt much more energetic than before. It seemed that the longer she stayed awake, the more energetic she became!
She also did not pay attention to this; everyday was so busy that she did not have time to care about it.
Moreover, Huo Jinyan seemed to have stopped sleeping recently, and he no longer dragged her into private tuition.
When Lin Ci was in English class, she could not help but look at Huo Jinyan, then at Lu Ning. She grumbled, “If I didn’t know any better, I would’ve thought that you stayed up late to give her tuition.”
Lu Ning: “…”
She looked up at Huo Jinyan. His eyes were dark and baggy, and he seemed quite exhausted and grouchy.
He only lectured and did not say anything else, as if to hide his irritable mood. Now that Class 9 had been trained by him, they completely understood what he meant whenever he paused in his lectures, or whenever he knocked on the desk.
Lu Ning scrunched her brows, and her gaze moved down slightly to his shoes…
This pair of shoes looks familiar…
Did I see wrongly?
Would Huo Jinyan really show up there?
Lu Ning could not figure it out herself.
And the school bell interrupted her thoughts.
