Chapter 44

PS: Thanks to Xiu Zhen Tu, Xie Zhi Xiu, Duan Chang Ren in the noodle stall, and a few other old friends for your generous donations! Thank you all for your support!

As the superhero's underwear is worn on the outside, while the batman wears his underwear on his head! Hahaha... ha... ha... ah—

At first, Young Master Hua was laughing smugly, but gradually he realized something was wrong. Everyone was staring at him with wide eyes and blank expressions!

"Um... how about I change it?" Young Master Hua said cautiously.

Li Feng said helplessly, "Change it to something normal!"

"No problem!" Young Master Hua realized that his previous answer was a bit too much, but fortunately, Xu Wenjin didn't show any disgust, which was a stroke of luck in an unfortunate situation!

"Please listen to the question!" Young Master Hua's mind quickly worked, and the second question instantly appeared in his mind, "In Chinese history, which historical figure was the most deserving of a beating? You need to give the name and the reason!"

Wu Dandan immediately answered instinctively, "Cao Cao? Because he was a great villain!"

"Wrong!"

Wang Yan said, "Is it Qin Hui? Because he was a great villain!"

"Also wrong!"

Qin Shihan, who was sitting next to Wang Yan, then said, "Is it Huang Gai? He used the bitter meat strategy, got beaten up badly, and deceived Cao Cao's trust."

Young Master Hua shook his head, "Also wrong!"

"Is it Empress Dowager Cixi?" Xu Wenjin thought for a moment and asked softly, "She issued an edict saying 'Measure the power of China and please the hearts of the allied countries' and ordered the signing of a series of unequal treaties!"

"Jin'er, you're really knowledgeable!" Young Master Hua immediately flattered, "But still wrong!"

Everyone was puzzled, "Then what is it?"

Seeing that everyone was stumped again, Young Master Hua chuckled, "How about it? Anyone else want to try? Do you need a hint?"

Wang Yan said irritably, "Stop being mysterious, just give us the answer!"

"Alright," Young Master Hua shrugged, "It's Su Wu."

Xu Wenjin asked curiously, "Why?"

"Because Su Wu herded sheep by the 'North Sea,'" Young Master Hua chuckled, "He was beaten up, but he wasn't the most deserving of a beating!"

"..." Everyone was speechless.

"Another one!" Wu Dandan clenched her fists and said, "I don't believe you can stump us all!"

"Okay!" Young Master Hua nodded and posed another question.

"Please answer, what is the difference between falling from the 20th floor and falling from the 2nd floor?"

Wu Dandan immediately answered, "One is certain death, the other can survive?"

Young Master Hua denied it without mercy, "Wrong!"

Xu Wenjin asked, "Is it the speed of death?"

Young Master Hua nodded, "Hmm—somewhat close!"

"Is it the height?"

"Wrong!"

"Is it the acceleration due to gravity?"

"Also wrong!"

After a series of guesses, no one could answer correctly, and everyone was a bit discouraged.

Wu Dandan asked, "Then what is it?"

"Can't guess?" Seeing that everyone had lost the desire to guess, Young Master Hua could only shrug and say, "Alright, I'll give you the answer!"

"The biggest difference between falling from the 20th floor and falling from the 2nd floor is that the former is 'Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Bang!'"

Young Master Hua vividly imitated the difference, "The latter is 'Bang! Ah!' and that's it!"

Everyone: "..."

"Ha ha!" The next moment, everyone couldn't help but be amused by Young Master Hua's performance!

"No more! No more!" Wang Yan laughed and waved her hand, "These brain teasers are just messing with our minds, let's do something else!"

"Something else?" Young Master Hua's eyes twinkled, and a smile appeared on his face, "Alright! I'll perform a few magic tricks for you!"

"You can do magic?" Wang Yan, who grew up with Young Master Hua, looked at him in confusion and then glanced at someone, understanding dawned on her, "I see!"

"Alright, everyone, quiet down, the magic show is about to start!" Young Master Hua took out a deck of cards from his pocket.

"Alright, now I need a volunteer to help me perform!" Young Master Hua stood up with the deck of cards, scanned the room, and then gestured to Xu Wenjin, "This beautiful lady, would you like to help me with this performance?"

"Ah?" Xu Wenjin was a bit hesitant when she saw Young Master Hua come up to invite her.

"Tsk! Putting on an act!" Wu Dandan huffed and pushed Xu Wenjin, "Jin'er, agree, and watch carefully, don't let him fool you!"

The other roommates also chimed in, "Yeah! Yeah! Jin'er, we're here, you can go up with confidence!"

Hearing the girls, Young Master Hua looked sad, "You make it sound like I'm a big bad wolf!"

The girls all said in unison, "Isn't that the case?"

Hearing this, Young Master Hua felt like squatting in the corner and drawing circles, it was too hurtful!

After a burst of laughter, the performance began.

Young Master Hua pushed the deck of cards in front of Xu Wenjin, "Jin'er, pick any two cards from the deck, make sure I don't see them."

As he spoke, Young Master Hua covered his eyes with his hand, indicating he wouldn't peek.

Xu Wenjin looked at Young Master Hua warily, thought for a moment, and drew a Six of Hearts and an Ace of Spades, holding them tightly.

"Done?" Young Master Hua asked. After confirming that Xu Wenjin had chosen, he turned his head, placed the deck of cards halfway down, and gestured for Xu Wenjin to hand him the two cards face down.

"Jin'er, do you believe in telepathy?" Young Master Hua said affectionately, holding the two cards in his hands, one in each, and placing them behind his back, "The moment you chose these two cards, I suddenly received a message from you, so I don't need to look at the cards to guess what they are!"

"Oh?" Hearing Young Master Hua's words, all the girls in the room opened their eyes wide, getting excited!

"Really or not?" A girl asked skeptically.

"Of course not!" Wu Dandan said irritably, "It's magic! Magic isn't real!"

"Cough! Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet!" Young Master Hua said helplessly, "You're affecting my telepathic connection with Jin'er!"

"Tsk!" The girls rolled their eyes, and Xu Wenjin, already blushing, said, "Then tell me what the two cards I chose are!"

"Ha ha, no rush!" Young Master Hua chuckled, extended his right hand with one of the cards, and showed it to Xu Wenjin, "Check if these are the cards you chose!"

Xu Wenjin looked at the card Young Master Hua showed her, it was the Six of Hearts, and nodded, "Yes, that's right!"

"Um," Young Master Hua nodded, withdrew his right hand, and then extended his left hand with the other card, still facing Xu Wenjin, "And this one?"

Xu Wenjin looked and saw the Ace of Spades, "That's right too!"

"Alright." Young Master Hua nodded. Just as he was about to pull his hand back, the door to the private room creaked open, and a waiter came in, "Sorry, I'm interrupting..."

"What is it?" Young Master Hua turned his head instinctively, and his fingers slipped...

Wu Dandan, with her sharp eyes, suddenly widened her eyes, "Look! He's holding two cards!"

At that moment, everyone saw that behind the Ace of Spades facing the group, another card was suddenly revealed, facing Young Master Hua. The two girls closest to him couldn't help but lean in to see—it was the Six of Hearts.

"So that's how it is!" The girls looked enlightened but held back their laughter in front of the waiter.

Young Master Hua looked at the waiter who had entered the room with a resentful expression, "Brother, why did you come in at this moment?"

The waiter, who had seen Young Master Hua before, immediately bowed his head in apology, "Sorry, Young Master Hua, the boss said it's very busy, so it might be a bit late. Please be patient. Here are two plates of fruit pastries from our restaurant, you can try them first!"

The waiter quickly placed the two plates of fruit pastries on the table and left immediately!

"Ha ha!" When the waiter left, the private room erupted in laughter. The girls pointed at the two cards in Young Master Hua's hand and laughed, "Ah! He hid the Six of Hearts behind the Ace of Spades!"

"Ha ha! So cunning! Talking about telepathy, it was just cheating!"

Seeing the girls laughing, Young Master Hua looked dejected. If the waiter hadn't come in, his magic trick would have definitely surprised these girls!

But that's how magic works. When you don't know the secret, it seems amazing, but once you figure it out, you think, "So that's it!"

Young Master Hua dejectedly placed the deck of cards on the table, and the card behind the Ace of Spades was indeed the Six of Hearts!

"Ah! Go ahead and laugh at me! What can I do, I'm not skilled enough?" Young Master Hua sat down dejectedly, "But if my master were here, he would definitely amaze you!"

"Your master?" Xu Wenjin asked curiously, "Who is your master?"

"Hehe!" Young Master Hua chuckled and pointed to someone, "He's right here, close but far away!"

"Ah?" Everyone looked and showed surprised expressions, "Li Feng? He can do magic?!"

"Didn't know, did you?" Seeing everyone's surprised faces, Young Master Hua said smugly, "Li Feng isn't just good at a bit of magic; he was the resident magician at the Zhonghai Magic Bar for two consecutive years during his sophomore and junior years!"

"Ah?!!" If hearing that Li Feng could do magic was a surprise, then hearing that he was the resident magician at the Zhonghai Magic Bar left everyone stunned.

Is that true?!!
