Entertaining Children

Chapter 926 Don't Gamble

"Oh!" Hearing what Xiao Yao said, the blond woman nodded slightly and didn't speak again.

Seeing that the other party stopped talking, Xiao Yao smiled politely at the other party, lowered his head and continued with the movement of his hands.

The blond woman seemed very interested in Xiao Yao's divination. Although he didn't talk to Xiao Yao anymore, he was still watching Xiao Yao's movements.

Xiao Yao knew that the other party was looking at him, but he was not affected by the other party, and turned over the entire deck of cards. For pure memory training, Xiao Yao did not take out the big and small kings in the cards, and memorized fifty-four cards, but it turned out that all fifty-four cards were correct. Xiao Yao was very satisfied with his memory ability.

After turning over the whole deck of cards, Xiao Yao put the cards away.

The blond woman sat across from Xiao Yao in the middle of the card recording exercise. Xiao Yao just turned the cards out one by one, without moving his mouth, and the other party couldn't understand Xiao Yao's actions. Xiao Yao casually made up a gypsy's divination, and the other party probably couldn't judge whether it was true or not, but if Xiao Yao wanted to memorize it again , you need to re-memorize after shuffling. There is an action of fanning all the cards and staring at them for a while. Anyone who saw this kind of action didn't feel like they were playing divination, but it would be associated with card counting.

Although the opposite person was a stranger who couldn't even see his face clearly, Xiao Yao didn't want to be exposed so quickly, and he was also afraid that the other party would react too much after seeing his true intentions. After all, no matter how accurate he was, It is very rare to take a whole deck of cards to exercise memory.

"Could I ask what you divination for yourself just now?" Seeing that Xiao Yao put away the cards, the blond woman asked Xiao Yao curiously, "Career? Love?"

Xiao Yao didn't answer, but looked up carefully at the blonde woman in front of him. Just now, when he was counting the cards, Xiao Yao just glanced briefly, and knew that the other party was wearing sunglasses, and he seemed to be a young man from the voice. Although the other party was still wearing sunglasses and could only see the lower half of his face, Xiao Yao suddenly felt a little familiar after looking at it carefully.

"I'm sorry," the blond woman saw that Xiao Yao looked at her and said nothing, thinking that the other party thought she was too abrupt, so she smiled and said, "My flight is still more than two hours away, I just want to chat with someone and pass the time. Time. Judging by your appearance, you should also be taking a flight, and the boarding time is not up yet, right?"

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded, "I'm waiting to board the plane."

Although the other party talked a lot, they were generally very polite. At most, they were extroverted and lively, more familiar with themselves, and a bit curious. Xiao Yao is not a shy and introverted person. It is still early before boarding time, and it is not easy to play cards anymore, so naturally he does not refuse to chat casually with the other party.

"Hi, my name is Nicky." The blond woman held out her hand, "Nice to meet you!"

"Nicky?" Xiao Yao's heart moved, but on the surface he stretched out his hand and shook hands with him calmly, and said, "Hello, I'm Xiao! Nice to meet you, but..."

Xiao Yao only said a "but", then looked at the sunglasses on the blonde woman's face and said nothing.

Generally speaking, the blonde woman in front of him gave Xiao Yao a pretty good feeling. Although they talk a lot, they are basically polite and measured. Xiao Yao obviously felt that the other party was very interested in divination with poker cards, but he stopped talking when he said he couldn't help others with divination, and he didn't want to bother him anymore. He would only speak again after he put away the poker cards. However, the other party kept talking while wearing sunglasses, which made Xiao Yao feel a little uncomfortable.

Xiao Yao has always felt that wearing sunglasses indoors is a very silly behavior unless there are physical reasons or the need to cover up the scars on the face, and he is quite disgusted with this kind of behavior. And the blond woman in front of her still didn't take off her sunglasses after the waiter brought her coffee. Xiao Yao doesn't think that the other party has eye disease or scars on his face, but Xiao Yao has another guess in his heart, and if the guess is correct, it can be considered a coincidence. Although Xiao Yao felt that the possibility of his guess was very low,

Still can't help but want to try it.

"Sorry!" The blond woman understood the meaning behind Xiao Yao's "but" from Xiao Yao's eyes, hesitated, and reached out to take off the sunglasses on her face.

"I'll go, can't it be her?" Xiao Yao was very surprised when he saw the other person's appearance clearly.

Xiao Yao was surprised in his heart, and naturally showed a surprised expression on his face, but he immediately adjusted his expression and smiled: "You are so beautiful!"

After taking off her sunglasses, the blond woman saw Xiao Yao's surprised expression, but also a little nervous. But after listening to Xiao Yao's words, the blond woman first breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed her facial expression, and then looked a little disappointed.

"Uh~ thank you!" The blond woman first responded to Xiao Yao's compliment with some embarrassment, and then whispered to Xiao Yao, "I'm Nicky Thompson."

"Oh," Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, and whispered, "My name is Yao Xiao!"

"You don't know me?" the blond woman asked with some expectation in her tone.

"I don't know!" Xiao Yao shook his head.

"Oh." The blond woman nodded, with some disappointment in her tone.

"No, I was wrong," Xiao Yao said suddenly, "I know you!"

"Really?" The blond woman looked up.

"Yeah," Xiao Yao said, "We introduced ourselves to each other just now, so I should know you now!"

"Okay!" the blond woman bowed her head.

Seeing the other party's performance like this, Xiao Yao was 100% sure that the blond woman in front of him was the Nicky Thompson he knew.

Nicky Thompson, a popular female singer in the United States, the main music style involves two aspects of country and pop. He debuted at the age of 18, released his first album and became an instant hit in the American music scene, and then his career developed very smoothly, all the way to the top. At the age of 30 this year, she has debuted for nearly 13 years and has won numerous awards. The Grammy alone has won double digits, and various other music awards have won prizes and soft hands. Now he is not only a first-line big-name singer in the United States, but also has a very high reputation in the world.

Of course Xiao Yao knows about Nicky Thompson, but he has been to the United States a lot and participated in some activities in the United States, but he has never had any personal contact with Nicky Thompson. Xiao Yao had only heard her songs, but hadn't watched her interviews, and he wasn't very familiar with her voice, so when the blond woman first arrived, Xiao Yao, who was focusing on the card, didn't feel it at all.

Xiao Yao is a photographer, and he is more sensitive to people's appearance. After carefully looking at the lower half of the face of the blonde woman in the sunglasses, Xiao Yao felt familiar. He just felt that the lower half of the face of the woman in front of him was a bit like the popular American female singer. Later, after hearing the name introduced by the other party, Xiao Yao's suspicion further deepened. deepened, that's why I hinted that the other party took off the sunglasses.

After the other party took off his sunglasses and saw the other party's appearance clearly, Xiao Yao was 80% sure of his own judgment.

The remaining 20% ​​is uncertain, due to the current situation, the blond woman opposite is obviously alone.

All stars have their own teams. How can someone who can be called a superstar like Nicky Thompson run around with a suitcase alone? You must know that this is an airport, not a private place. Even if it is a private trip, many celebrities will bring their personal assistants. Although Xiao Yao is alone, Xiao Yao knows that such stars must be very few, whether in the United States or in China.

In terms of probability, the United States is so big and the world is so big. It is not impossible for ordinary people to look like Nicky Thompson and have the same name.

After judging that the other party was very likely to be a popular star in the United States, Xiao Yao did not bring the topic to the direction of the obvious singer Nicky Thompson, and did not go for further confirmation.

On the one hand, since the other party was alone and hesitant about taking off the sunglasses, it was obvious that he was traveling quietly and did not want to be recognized. Once Xiao Yao asks in that direction, if the other party doesn't want to lie, there is a high probability that he can only admit it, which is contrary to the other party's original intention.

On the other hand, of course Xiao Yao thinks this is more fun, and Xiao Yao feels that he can determine the answer without asking directly.

Sure enough, the blond woman said her full name with her first and last name afterwards, and coupled with those performances that worried about being recognized and hoped that she would be recognized, Xiao Yao was 100% sure that the blond woman in front of her was Nicky. Thompson is gone. But since he pretended not to know each other, Xiao Yao of course kept pretending to the end.

"Now that we know each other, can you tell me what you divined for yourself just now?" Nicky Thompson calmed down and asked Xiao Yao again.

"Luck!" Xiao Yao laughed, "To be precise, it's wealth luck!"

"Luck?" Nicky Thompson smiled, then asked Xiao Yao as if thinking of something, "Are you going to Las Vegas?"

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded.

"Are you going to the casino?" Nicky Thompson continued to ask.

"Going to LV, of course I'm going to the casino!" Xiao Yao laughed.

"As far as I know, casinos are generally profitable!" Nikki Thompson said. "Very few people win money from casinos."

Although Nicky Thompson's words were relatively cryptic, Xiao Yao understood the meaning of the warning, nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you for reminding me! I'm not a gambler, I just go to the casino to experience it, and I won't indulge in it."

"Ha, go to the casino and see!" Nicky Thompson looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Are you rich?"

"Not bad!" Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, "I'm not poor!"

"May I ask about your occupation?" Nicky Thompson asked.

"I don't have a regular job, but I can do a lot of jobs, and I have done a lot of jobs!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "The income is pretty good."

"Freelancer?" Nicky Thompson said, "For example?"

"For example..." Xiao Yao thought for a while and replied, "Like a photographer! The magazine's bid for the photos I took was very good!"

"Which magazines have you taken pictures for?" Nicky Thompson said, "Don't get me wrong, I occasionally take pictures for magazines, I think about your work, maybe there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future."

"I'm from Huaxia, basically working in Huaxia." Xiao Yao said.

"Oh, all right!" Nicky Thompson nodded.

"So you are a model?" Xiao Yao asked intentionally.

"That's right!" Nicky Thompson laughed, "But it's not a professional model, it's a part-time job at best."

"You already know that I'm going to LV, so where are you going?" Xiao Yao asked.

"It's also going to LV!" Nicky Thompson laughed, "I think we are probably on the same flight!"

"So as soon as I talk about fortune-telling, you'll guess that I'm going to LV!" Xiao Yao suddenly said.

Nicky Thompson was going to Las Vegas, so he naturally knew that there would be a flight to Las Vegas in a few hours. Las Vegas is famous for its casinos, and gambling requires luck. The connection between these is easy to think of.

"Then do I want to give you what you just told me?" Xiao Yao continued, "Casinos are generally profitable, and very few people can win money from casinos! And you are just a part-time small model !"

"I'm not here to gamble!" Nicky Thompson immediately said, "LV is not just a casino!"

"Oh," Xiao Yao said, "Then you are going to work?"

"Work, take a vacation!" Nicky Thompson said.

"Huh?" Xiao Yao was a little puzzled, "Work first, then go on vacation?"

"No, go on vacation first, then work." Nicky Thompson shook his head and said, "There is a job over there, but it's still early. I'm free during this period, so I set off early and went to play for a few days. It's considered a vacation. When I arrive When you want to work, just work directly, no need to go there from other places.”

"No wonder I'm alone!" Xiao Yao thought to himself, "It's probably going out to play, and I don't want to have other people around me."

"Well, LV is a good place for vacation!" Xiao Yao nodded and smiled, "There are not only casinos there, but also many interesting places!"

"However, going to the casino seems to be a good choice for vacation!" Nicky Thompson said.

"Huh?" Xiao Yao was taken aback.

"Stop!" Nicky Thompson saw Xiao Yao was about to speak, and interrupted with a wave of his hand in advance, "Although I am only a part-time model, my income is not bad. Also, I am not a gambler. You don't have to say those words again !"

"Ha~" Xiao Yao laughed.

"Then let's not talk about it!" Xiao Yao picked up the poker cards on the table and said, "Since you are going to the casino, why not try your luck? Can you play blackjack? Let's play blackjack?"

"Okay!" Nicky Thompson laughed, "Anyway, it's still early before the boarding time, and I'm feeling bored."

"But chips, do you want to play with cash?" Nicky Thompson suddenly leaned closer to Xiao Yao and whispered, "This is an airport cafe, and we put cash on the table. People can tell it's gambling at a glance, isn't it? Okay? Also, I always use credit cards when I go out, and I don’t bring much cash with me.”

"It's just for fun, no gambling!" Xiao Yao raised his head and waved to the waiter, "Waiter, get some peanuts!"

This coffee shop not only sells coffee, but also sells alcohol, such as peanuts and other dried fruits.

"Let's use peanuts instead of chips!" Xiao Yao said to Nicky Thompson.

"Good idea!" Nicky Thompson said happily.

After the waiter brought the peanuts, Xiao Yao split a plate of peanuts into two and played with Nicky Thompson.
