"Yeah. Dumb luck. Like when you run into a hot guy at a random bar. Or when some guy helps you once. Just dumb luck." Nothing special there, clearly. Xue Yang watched as they swapped out the cards. He was enjoying it, the way Meng Yao had gone cold. Calculating. That dark intelligence in his eyes.

He also looked at the man's hand, mostly looking at the cards. Also seeing how they were shaking.

Huh. Xue Yang calculated in his head, then snapped his fingers. "Don't reveal just yet. You each get to draw one card from your opponent. Put that card down without looking at it, then we do the reveal. Surprise for us all. You first, xiao Yao."

And as Meng Yao reached over, Xue Yang held a hand up behind the man, wiggling his middle finger.
