Chapter 261 Can't you afford it?
Meeting content: Group arrangements for travel.
Six people who had gathered for the same research report sat around a small, vacant conference room.
These auxiliary facilities provided to students only need to submit an application to use them.
...Of course, it must be done during free time when there is no conflict with other people.
Finally, I've waited for this moment.
Wayne raised his head alertly, his gaze covertly scanning back and forth on the faces of Lawrence and Gavin.
Gavin's side, no problem.
Lawrence seems to have a big problem here.
The development of things was slightly different from what I expected.
"Do you think it would be better for me to team up with Wayne?!" Starting from this voice, a melee was triggered.
Lawrence, inexplicably, insisted on being in the same group as Wayne.
"I want to team up with Ms. Chris!" This was the shout of classmate Molly.
After experiencing Wayne's declaration of sovereignty, she still didn't seem to feel any discouragement.
"Because there are three people on one side, so no matter what, there should be a place for me next to Ms. Chris," Molly said.
"I...I also want to be in a group with classmate Chris." Tasia's voice was not loud, but her tone became firm inexplicably.
It's like I made a decision with these words.
"Huh? Could it be that our team will be an all-boys team!" Gavin said in disbelief: "Isn't it? Without the beautiful ladies here, I won't even have the energy to work!"
Hearing this, Molly suddenly showed a look of disgust and added: "And more, I don't want to be in the same group as Gavin."
"...Have you forgotten that I said from the beginning that I would be paired with Chris?" Wayne slapped his forehead.
The scene was chaotic.
Chris was being fought over by three people at the same time, looking a little helpless.
"It is unrealistic to satisfy everyone's wishes at the same time." She said, "So, let's draw lots."
As her words fell, Chrissy took out a stack from her bag——
Playing cards.
This thing was Chris's "invention" out of boredom, and now some superficial ways of playing cards have become popular among a small group of people outside the world.
Except for Wayne, everyone present looked surprised.
It seems like I don’t understand how this thing draws lots.
"Use playing cards to form groups." Old Chrissy said thoughtfully.
She placed the stack of playing cards in the palm of her hand and showed them to everyone present, as if this could reflect her fairness.
"Now, starting from the position on my left, draw the cards one by one." She explained.
"Those who drew red cards are in Group 1, and those who drew black cards are in Group 2. Until there are three people on a certain side, the rest will be assigned to another group by default."
Chrissy first put the stack of playing cards under the table, shuffling the order out of everyone's sight; after a while, she put them back on the table again, and performed a dazzling shuffle in front of everyone.
"Now the order has been completely disrupted."
She raised her hands flat, unfolded the back of the cards, took one out and placed it on the edge of her table.
It's a black card.
Ignoring the one that was drawn out, she reshuffled the remaining cards, and after roughly indicating a circle, she handed it to the one sitting on her left -
In front of Wayne.
Looking at the poker cards with identical backs, Wayne observed them expressionlessly for a long time before hesitantly stretched out a hand.
The thumb is on top, the index finger and others are on the bottom, and his hand moves slowly on the unfolded cards.
As the first ready-made example of eating crabs, others at the table also watched Wayne's actions with bated breath.
When his thumb moved to a certain picture, he suddenly felt...
The finger she placed under the card was lightly touched by Chrissy.
He pondered for a while and took out the poker he was holding.
The movements are neither fast nor slow, very natural.
He unfolded the cards, which were also black.
After the demonstration by the two of them, the others followed suit and imitated their actions to draw one card.
Gavin, red.
Lawrence, red.
It was Tasia's turn. She paused for a moment while drawing the cards. But the next second, she also flipped the cards according to the actions of others before.
black.
The results appeared one by one. After going around in a circle, there were already three people in the black group.
Therefore, classmate Molly, who was sitting on the right side of Chris, did not even have time to draw the lottery herself, so she was forced to be assigned to the group of Lawrence and Gavin.
Wayne tried hard to hold back his laughter and concluded: "Okay! I, Chris, and Tasia are in a group; Gavin, Lawrence, and Molly are in a group. Just follow the results of this grouping!"
Molly just looked at Chris's face.
After confirming that Chrissy would not reschedule, she looked frustrated.
"Why is this happening? My luck is too bad."
Tsk tsk tsk... This is not because of luck, Molly-san.
Wayne smiled.
"There is a saying that when a person's luck is extremely bad, good luck will follow." He comforted, "Molly, why don't you take this opportunity to participate in some lottery and other activities?
Maybe there will be some unexpected gains?”
"Eh? Is that so?" Molly was doubtful.
On the other side, Chris closed her playing cards again and prepared to put them back in her bag.
Seeing that this insignificant episode was about to go smoothly, Lawrence finally couldn't help it.
"etc!"
He slapped the table and stood up.
"I'm going to check all the cards in your hand!" he yelled at Chrissy.
When he shouted, Chris's movements to clean up couldn't help but stagnate.
But soon, he resumed his previous slow movements and ignored Lawrence's request.
Wayne jumped out dutifully.
"Huh?" His voice was a little cold.
"Lawrence, what do you mean? You can't afford it?"
It’s impossible for you to be inspected~
If you really find out that we are cheating, what's the point?!
In fact, the poker that Chris took out this time was indeed tampered with.
There are only three black cards and the rest are red cards.
As for Wayne and Tasia, they were all able to draw accurately and accurately under Chris's hint.
Even, in order to ensure that the desired grouping was obtained, the only risky black card before it was Tasia's turn after Wayne drew it was hidden by Chris by shuffling the cards.
Two rounds.
If there is more than one opportunity, I am afraid Gavin and Lawrence will be pleasantly surprised to find that no matter how they draw, they will always be red.
"It's not that I can't afford it..."
Lawrence opened his mouth to defend, but didn't know what to say.
Chapter completed!
