Chapter 113: I don't want to go home tonight!

Jiang Cheng was surprised; he didn't expect Su Manyao to actually agree!

The clown magician's gaze turned toward Jiang Cheng.

What do you mean, one of you says no while the other says yes?

Jiang Cheng scratched his head, "Well, let's play then!"

Next, the clown smiled, shuffled the poker cards in his hand once, and spread them out in a fan shape on the table.

He said, "Please each of you draw one card from them."

Jiang Cheng drew a card, took a look, and it was the 2 of diamonds.

Then Su Manyao extended her fair, shining slender fingers under the light; her dark red nail polish glowed bright red under the illumination, and she pressed a card with her finger, pulled it out, and took a glance.

The clown magician said, "You both have seen your own cards; now you need to choose one card from between you to participate in the game, while the other must be discarded."

"May I ask which card you are ready to choose?"

Jiang Cheng looked at Su Manyao, wondering whether they should discuss it.

But the next second, Su Manyao flipped over the card she had placed on the table and lightly slapped it down, saying, "Choose mine."

There was no room for discussion; she had decided it outright!

The card facing up on the table was the ace of spades, which Su Manyao had drawn.

The clown's gaze turned to Jiang Cheng, who nodded helplessly.

Actually, this was already within the clown's expectations.

At times like this, any guy would yield to his girlfriend.

Moreover, she is so beautiful.

The clown magician had already tried hard to control himself, but he still couldn't help glancing at Su Manyao more.

He picked up the ace of spades and said, "Now I'm putting this ace of spades back into this deck of cards."

Then he gathered the cards on the table into his hand and inserted the ace of spades.

Watching his technique, Jiang Cheng could tell it was a practiced move, quite entertaining to watch.

Su Manyao looked at the clown's hand, then unconsciously glanced at Jiang Cheng's hand, swallowed, and timely averted her gaze.

The clown shuffled the cards in his hand once, then handed them to Jiang Cheng and her, saying, "Do you want to shuffle as well? However you like."

Jiang Cheng shook his head; Su Manyao said coolly, "No need."

Lacking this interactive segment, the clown magician laughed a bit embarrassedly, but he quickly adjusted, drew a card from the deck, and turned its face toward Jiang Cheng and her.

"Is this the one?" the clown magician asked.

Jiang Cheng saw that the card was the 8 of hearts and said, "No."

He knew the trick couldn't be that simple; if it really were, the magic would have no meaning at all.

Indeed, the clown magician held the 8 of hearts, made an astonished expression, and incredulously said, "How could this be? How could this be? Has my magic power disappeared?"

Then he said to Jiang Cheng and Su Manyao, "My magic power has vanished; please help me, you two also possess magic."

After a pause, he continued, "Please blow a breath onto the poker cards, and your magic can help me!"

Jiang Cheng felt helpless, thinking Su Manyao would surely not cooperate with such a trick.

So, to avoid embarrassing the clown magician, only he could blow that breath.

Sure enough, Su Manyao immediately said coldly, "Childish."

After saying that, she pursed her rosy lips and gently blew a breath onto the poker cards.

Jiang Cheng, sitting beside her, inhaled a breath of cool air.

Something's off!

The Yujie is off tonight!

Given her personality, would she ever do such a childish, or rather interactive, action?

You know, there are many other tables' guests watching them!

Yet the Yujie just did it so naturally and composedly!

However, Jiang Cheng also noticed that after she blew that breath, she lightly pursed her lips—a sign of slight nervousness. After Su Manyao blew her breath, the clown again placed the poker cards in front of Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng also blew a breath onto the poker cards, thinking, "Can I even blow it into the ace of spades?"

Then the clown, as if trying to conceal his magic power, suddenly covered the 8 of hearts with both hands in his palms.

Then he said to Jiang Cheng, "Please, sir, open your hand."

Jiang Cheng placed his hand on the table.

The magician placed the poker cards in Jiang Cheng's palm, then earnestly instructed, "Sir, you must remember not to look now, or the magic won't work."

Jiang Cheng was very cooperative, knowing that this is a trick, not real magic.

He let him keep the poker cards in his palm without moving.

Then the clown magician turned his head to Su Manyao and said, "Beautiful lady, I now ask you to place your hand on top of this gentleman's palm; we need both of you to cast the spell simultaneously."

"Only when the two of you are of one heart, in harmony, and of one intent can the magic take effect."

!

This time Jiang Cheng dared not jump to conclusions; he feared being proven wrong, but still had some thoughts—when he saw Su Manyao gladly place her little hand on his palm, their palms pressed together with a poker card between them.

To be honest, Su Manyao's palm is quite warm.

Jiang Cheng had read many books saying that girls generally have a cold constitution, with cold hands and feet, but Su Manyao probably doesn't have that issue.

Next, the clown said, "Now please focus your attention, meditate in your hearts, and turn the card in your palms into the one you wish for."

This process is a process of staring at each other with wide eyes.

The magician was also quite embarrassed; he just watched Su Manyao and Jiang Cheng staring at him with wide eyes.

After about ten seconds, the clown magician couldn't take it anymore and said, "Now you two can release your hands."

Su Manyao quickly pulled her hand back.

Clown Magician said to Jiang Cheng: "Sir, you can now see what card you have in your hand."

Jiang Cheng didn't look, he placed the card in his hand in front of Su Manyao.

Su Manyao looked seriously, her face showing surprise.

This is one of the few expressions shown by the aloof Yujie tonight.

Jiang Cheng turned over and saw that the red heart 8 had actually turned into a black ace!

The magician bowed after his performance and left for elsewhere.

Jiang Cheng took out his phone to check the time.

It's just past nine o'clock at night.

The dormitory lights won't be turned off until after eleven.

That means there are still two hours; how to endure?

He isn't thinking about rushing back at eleven!

Rather, he's thinking about how to drag time until the dorm locks, so he won't go back tonight!

The two had some drinks at the bar, listened to music, chatted casually, and the time came to half past ten.

Jiang Cheng thought there was still an hour, no, just 30 minutes would be enough; tonight he wouldn't need to return to school.

But just then, Su Manyao put down her drink and said: "About time, let's go."

After chatting with his dad, their relationship eased considerably.

But the main issue is Jiang Cheng still doesn't want to leave; time hasn't come!

But Yujie has already stood up and picked up her bag!

What to do?
