4500 The Other Side 469

“Too dazzling?” Gong Jie was baffled. “Why does he think I’m too dazzling?”

“He’s not the only one. Even I think you’re too dazzling. Hua Jin probably subconsciously thinks that you’re too outstanding. He doesn’t want to lay his hands on you or touch you.”

Gong Jie could not help laughing at her theory “Is that so?”

“I think it has something to do with his past?” Alice said, “I have a nagging feeling that he is laden with something. He’s always given me the feeling that he’s carrying a heavy burden. He really wants to let it go, but he can’t. If you really like him, you’ll like him even if he’s imperfect and flawed. However, he’s different. He might feel that he’s not worthy of you, so he subconsciously resists and keeps a distance from you.”

Gong Jie’s expression darkened when he heard that.

…

In the afternoon, the actor stayed in his room, bored to death.

Youyou knocked on the door and pushed it open. When he saw Hua Jin lying on the sofa, he could not help poking fun at the man, “Uncle Hua Jin, you look like a stranded salted fish!”

“…” The actor turned and gave him a resentful look. “Have you ever seen such a beautiful salted fish?”

“What are you doing alone in your room?”

“Sunbathing.”

“Salted fish will dry out if they’re exposed to the sun for too long.”

“…I’m not a salted fish.”

Youyou urged, “Why don’t we play cards?”

“I don’t feel like playing cards.”

“Come on, let’s play cards! Alice taught us a new game.”

“What game?”

The boy produced two decks of playing cards out of nowhere.

“Whipped egg!”

“Whipped Egg” was a game originating from JS Province. It was a kind of poker game that was widely played in the country. It evolved from the development of the local poker games “Fast Run” and “80 points”.

The game is played by a foursome, and one gets upgraded with wins. This makes the game more entertaining and exciting.

Two players form a team to compete against the other pair. Whoever finishes first will be the lead and winner, and the last to finish will be the loser.

If a team had one person in the lead and one in the second place, they can level up by three levels.

The most interesting thing about this game is leveling up and making a straight flush. The gameplay is highly varied, and it tested one’s brainpower and logical thinking.

Unable to dissuade the boy, Hua Jin was dragged to the card room.

Initially, there were no card rooms on Hurricane Island. However, after learning how to play cards at Yun Shishi’s house, Gong Jie found an interest in poker, so he built a few card rooms in the stadium. There was a mahjong table and a poker table, it was well out-fitted.

When he arrived at the card room, he realized that Gong Jie and Natalia were also there. Alice was teaching Natalia how to play cards.

Originally, there were only Alice, Gong Jie, and Hua Jin. Little Yichen was not very proficient in poker games, so he had politely declined. But when Natalia learned it, she insisted on playing. So Alice said that she would stop playing and just be Natalia’s advisor instead.

The four of them paired up through drawing red and black cards. Perhaps it was pure chemistry that the actor and Gong Jie ended up being paired.

Hua Jin probed, “There’s no punishment in this game, right?”

“Of course there is!” Alice said, “Truth or Dare!”

“Again!” The actor got up to leave.

Alice blocked the door. “Don’t even think about leaving if now that you’re here! It’s fine if you don’t want to play a punishment game. Let’s play for money then!”
