Chapter 23: It's in your belly

The Lip Stud Girl never expected Lin Ye to be so bold, directly cornering her against a pillar.

And the female customers present also hadn't anticipated such a scene.

For a moment, everyone showed expressions of watching a good show.

Just as they were all quietly waiting for things to unfold, Lin Ye suddenly pulled off the girl's headscarf from her head, then quickly stepped back.

"So you hid the card here, that really is a good spot."

"Huh?" Hearing Lin Ye's words, the blushing Lip Stud Girl couldn't help but show a confused expression.

"Are you saying your card is inside my headscarf?"

"That's right, isn't it right here?" As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ye pulled out a card from under the headscarf.

After the card was taken out, he immediately showed the face of the card to everyone; it was indeed the 9 of Diamonds, one of the last three cards.

When they saw this, the surrounding onlookers involuntarily covered their mouths, their eyes filled with surprise.

"Wow! He found another one! I clearly saw that little girl put the card in her bag just now."

"Yeah, how did it end up in her headscarf? Did she change its location later?"

"Impossible, the card is so big, and the headscarf is only a small piece, how could it hide it?"

"Then what's going on?"

Compared to the surprised crowd, the Lip Stud Girl, as the person involved, could only describe her feelings at this moment as shock.

She knew best where the card she hid was.

How could it possibly have ended up in her headscarf?

As if she had thought of something, she quickly reached for her bag.

Upon touching it, her heart sank halfway; of the two cards from before, only one was left.

"When exactly did he take the card?"

Amidst her shock, her gaze towards Lin Ye became even more complex.

"No, no matter what, this last card absolutely cannot be taken by him!"

Having made up her mind, she simply gripped the card tightly with her hand. She didn't believe Lin Ye could make the card disappear under such circumstances.

However, just then, Lin Ye suddenly smiled mysteriously.

"Now there's only one card left. This card is hidden deeper, but I still sensed its presence."

"Beautiful young lady, I think this last card is still on you."

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the Lip Stud Girl.

Hearing this, the Lip Stud Girl shook her head repeatedly.

"It's not on me, it's not on me, you're mistaken."

"Is that so? I don't think I'm wrong, and I've already found that card. If you don't believe me, just pull the zipper on the back of the little bear I gave you earlier; it's hidden inside the bear's body."

As soon as Lin Ye said this, the Lip Stud Girl immediately exclaimed excitedly:

"Impossible! How could it have run to that place?"

"If you don't believe me, just open the little bear and take a look." Lin Ye shrugged.

"I'll look! I said it's not in there, so it's definitely not in there!"

After saying that, the Lip Stud Girl directly picked up the little bear doll she had hung on her bag, then unhesitatingly pulled the zipper on the doll's back.

However, when she reached her hand into the bear's lining to search, she froze on the spot, because she distinctly felt something hard.

Seeing her stunned expression, Lin Ye's mouth began to curl upwards slightly.

"How is it? Is the card in there?"

The girl, who was still in a daze, heard this and immediately gritted her teeth, shaking her little head like a rattle drum.

"It's not in there, it's not in there at all! The card isn't in there!"

Clearly, she had made up her mind that as long as she refused to admit it, Lin Ye would have no way to deal with her.

Just as she thought she could get away with it by playing dumb, Lin Ye suddenly made a move that caught her by surprise.

"You're right, the card isn't in the bear's belly, because just now it ran into your belly."

As soon as he finished speaking, a card flew directly out of the girl's clothes, circled around Lin Ye once, and was then steadily caught by his right middle finger and index finger.

And his raised right hand was perfectly positioned under a spotlight.

Instantly, everyone present's attention was drawn to his right fingertips.

When they saw the face of this card, they were immediately too shocked to speak.

Because the card he held between his fingertips at that moment was none other than the Ace of Spades.

At this point, the DJ responsible for playing music also put on the background music for the God of Gamblers' entrance.

The atmosphere of the entire bar was ignited instantly.

Then, the audience who had witnessed this top-tier card magic show all gave their most enthusiastic applause.

Even Hu Die, the bar owner, couldn't help but stand up and applaud.

"Amazing! Simply divine!"

"This is real magic; it's a hundred times more exciting than the magic on the Spring Festival Gala stage."

"Exactly, I even feel like this isn't a magic performance; this is clearly a magic show!"

"He can find all the cards even in such a situation, it's incredibly strong."

"Yeah, this little girl made it so difficult for him, and he could still make the card appear. If this isn't magic, what is?"

"I didn't even see how that last card came out. Could it really have emerged from that little girl's belly?"

"That's definitely impossible. What I'm more curious about is how that card flew up."

"Tonight's show is truly amazing. Where did the bar owner find such a professional Magician?"

"He doesn't look very old, how can he perform magic so well?"

"He's handsome and performs magic well. I suddenly realized that maybe men aren't so bad after all."

.......

At this moment, everyone spared no praise for Lin Ye.

Only the Lip Stud Girl still had a bewildered expression.

Now she was even a little confused whether she had been dreaming just now.

As an eyewitness, she knew better than anyone else what had truly happened.

She didn't know how the card ended up in the bear's belly, and even less how it eventually moved from the bear's belly to her clothes.

All three cards she had hidden were found by Lin Ye without exception, and Lin Ye didn't expose her either.

"Could he really know magic?"

Just as she was feeling extremely unsettled, she noticed that Lin Ye had been staring at her face.

Immediately, her face turned red again, and the next second she stomped her right foot hard.

"What are you looking at! Haven't you seen a pretty girl before! Keep staring and I'll gouge out your eyeballs!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Ye suddenly reached out and touched her face.

With a whoosh, she, who was feigning anger, immediately cowered.

Just then, Lin Ye slowly opened the hand that had reached for her face.

Only then did she see several bling-bling studs lying in his palm.

"Your studs fell off. I thought you had them pierced in, but they're glued on."

"Are the others also glued on?"

As soon as Lin Ye said this, the Lip Stud Girl instantly panicked and quickly took out a small mirror from her bag to look.

After realizing that the studs on her face had indeed fallen off, her expression immediately became awkward.

And her group of girlfriends also gathered around.

"Boss, so your studs are glued on? Didn't you tell us they were all pierced into your face?"

"Exactly, you also said you didn't use anesthetic at the time."

"Boss, are you really a part of the 'scene' or not?"

"Wow! You're so cunning! You made us get real piercings, but you used glue. Your tattoos aren't temporary tattoos, are they?"

"Ugh! So annoying! I'm afraid of pain, okay? What's wrong with glued-on ones! Is it not allowed?!" the Lip Stud Girl said angrily, with her hands on her hips.

After saying that, she pulled off the remaining studs on her face, including the one on her mouth.

"Let's go, let's go, we're not playing here tonight, this place isn't fun!"

The blushing Lip Stud Girl finished speaking and pulled her girlfriends towards the exit of the bar.

Halfway there, she didn't forget to turn back and glare fiercely at Lin Ye.

"Brat, you just wait. This isn't over. You've offended Song Bao'er, so you won't have a good time from now on."

"You only know a little magic, don't you? I'll find an even more powerful Magician to meet you then!"

After saying this, she was about to throw the little bear in her hand at Lin Ye, but after thinking about it, she ultimately didn't throw the bear away, but instead continued to hang it on her bag.

"Let's go! To sing! People like us who are part of the scene should come out late and go home late. I'm paying for all expenses tonight!"

"Thank you, Boss."

"Thank you, Boss."

Amidst the clamor, the Lip Stud Girl led her group of friends, who were part of the scene, out of the Black Rose Bar.

Their departure did not affect the atmosphere inside the bar; everyone inside the bar continued to do as they pleased.

Lin Ye, who had just finished a round of magic, also received his first tip.
