Zhang Xiaoqiang carefully controlled the force in his hand.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoqiang stopped shaking the dice and slowly opened his hand.
Yu Daohan and Su Lai looked closely. Five ones.
"Holy crap, Brother Qiang, you've got this skill?" Su Lai couldn't help but exclaim.
Yu Daohan was also somewhat incredulous. When did this kid learn to shake dice?
Zhang Xiaoqiang's lips curved upwards. He spoke humbly, but his face was full of pride. "Low-key, low-key. It's just five ones, everyday stuff. Back in the day, people called me the Dice King."
Yu Daohan was speechless. This guy got a little praise and started puffing up.
He always liked to give himself a ridiculously cool nickname for everything he did.
Zhang Xiaoqiang knew in his heart that it was unlikely he could beat Ye Mei by shaking dice, but five ones was already the lowest possible outcome. Even if Ye Mei rolled five ones, it would be a draw.
This round was already secured.
Zhang Xiaoqiang glanced at Yu Daohan beside him, signaling if his move was cool.
Yu Daohan, though speechless, had to admit that Qiangzi did have a knack for this.
Ye Mei, seeing the confident expressions of the three, didn't rush. Instead, she held the dice, gave them a gentle shake, and slowly revealed them.
Yu Daohan and the other two looked at the dice Ye Mei revealed, and the smiles on their faces gradually faded.
The five dice Ye Mei revealed had fallen together, and the one on top was exactly a single dot.
All three were stunned. "There's even this kind of move?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang never expected that Ye Mei would use such a method to win this round.
Ye Mei smiled charmingly. "Young Master Yu, who won this round?"
Yu Daohan looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang beside him. Seeing that he hadn't anticipated this situation either, and though he hated to admit it, he knew Qiangzi had lost this round. "Miss Ye won."
Ye Mei stretched lazily, as if she had already secured victory. "Alright, let's hurry and start the next round. Otherwise, the sky will be almost dawn, and I'll have to wait all night."
Zhang Xiaoqiang and Su Lai looked at Yu Daohan.
Yu Daohan nodded. It seemed he had to rely on himself this round. He was also regretting it a little, wishing he hadn't trusted these two troublemakers.
Yu Daohan was silent for a long time before speaking. "I'll bet with you on guessing dice."
Ye Mei across from him became interested. "Oh? How do you plan to bet, Young Master Yu?"
Yu Daohan began to explain. "Let one person shake the dice, and the two of us guess. Whoever guesses correctly wins."
Yu Daohan was out of options. He only knew the rules of cards and couldn't possibly win against Ye Mei, and his dice-shaking skills weren't as good as Qiangzi's.
This was the only way left.
After hearing Yu Daohan's explanation, Ye Mei asked again, "Then who will shake?"
Yu Daohan glanced at Zhang Xiaoqiang beside him. "Let him do it."
Yu Daohan also knew that Ye Mei wouldn't agree. He and Qiangzi were in cahoots. If he just said a number, Qiangzi could shake that number, and Ye Mei would have no chance to win.
Ye Mei, of course, knew what Yu Daohan was planning. However, she still nodded and agreed. "Alright, let Elder Zhang shake."
"What!"
Yu Daohan, Elder Zhang, and Su Lai were all surprised that Ye Mei agreed.
No matter who it was, they couldn't win. As long as they agreed on the number beforehand, Ye Mei couldn't win no matter what she did.
"Absolutely impossible!"
"Miss Ye, have you thought this through?" Yu Daohan asked again.
Ye Mei nodded affirmatively. "That's right, it's decided. However..."
Ye Mei hesitated for a moment before continuing, "If I win, Young Master Yu won't go back on his word, will he?"
Yu Daohan patted his chest and guaranteed, "If I lose, you don't even need to say it. I'll immediately go to bed and wait for you obediently."
This wasn't because Yu Daohan was overly confident, but because with this cheating method, he absolutely couldn't lose.
A faint smile appeared on Ye Mei's lips. "Then I hope Young Master Yu will keep his word."
Su Lai and Zhang Xiaoqiang couldn't understand where Ye Mei's confidence came from. However, with the three of them present, they figured Ye Mei wouldn't dare to cheat.
Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at Yu Daohan and nodded, signaling him to continue.
Yu Daohan subconsciously looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang's hand under the table. He saw him making the gesture for five ones.
Yu Daohan calmly withdrew his gaze.
"You two, watch carefully." As soon as Zhang Xiaoqiang finished speaking, he began shaking the dice.
Yu Daohan looked at Ye Mei, who was teasing him with a playful expression, and felt extremely confused.
She clearly knew about the little trick between him and Qiangzi, so why did she still agree? No matter how this round played out, they would win.
Even in the worst-case scenario, it would be a draw. She couldn't possibly win.
After shaking them a few times, Zhang Xiaoqiang stopped the dice in his hand and looked at Ye Mei and Yu Daohan. "You two, start guessing."
Ye Mei looked at Yu Daohan charmingly. "Then let Young Master Yu guess first."
Yu Daohan, though confused about Ye Mei's trick, spoke first. "Five ones."
Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded and looked at Ye Mei across from him.
Ye Mei smiled faintly. "I'll go against Young Master Yu. Five sixes."
Zhang Xiaoqiang and Yu Daohan exchanged glances. "This round, no matter what, we win."
From beginning to end, Yu Daohan kept his eyes fixed on Ye Mei and didn't notice her interfering with the dice. With Qiangzi's skill, rolling five ones was not difficult.
This round was already destined for them to win.
