Chapter 1259 - 160. The hole card becomes invalid
Passing through the crowded mass of people, everyone could only see several colorful balls tumbling up and down. As for how those balls were actually rolling back and forth, no one could see.
Many stood on tiptoes, craning their necks curiously to look in that direction, losing interest even in the magnificent lion dance performance nearby.
Xiao Linshuang, Lin Wei, and a few others also craned their necks curiously, whispering speculations about what was happening over there.
It was unclear whether the performers on that side were deliberately whetting everyone’s appetite, but only after they had captured everyone’s full attention did the crowd blocking the view start to slowly disperse. The citizens voluntarily moved to both sides, clearing the central path. Only then did everyone finally glimpse the true faces of the tumbling balls.
They saw a man in colorful attire with a pink flower in his hair, juggling seven colorful balls in his hands, which flipped and spun like a rope dart. His hands, exceptionally fair and nimble, did not seem like those of a man, to the point where even Lin Wei couldn’t help but exclaim in envy at the sight of them.
Realizing what was happening, Lin Yuan finally understood—it was acrobatics. She had to admit, the man’s ball-juggling skills were impressive; she couldn’t even handle two balls, while this man managed seven. If not for the varying colors of the balls, she wouldn’t be able to discern there were indeed as many as seven balls, which almost seemed to merge together into a blur.
Behind the man flipping balls was a slender woman. Despite the chilly spring air, she wore a thin garment, and moreover, her arms, as white as lotus roots, were exposed.
In this era, although women didn’t stress much about keeping their feet hidden, they were very conscious of their public morality. A woman like her, exposing her body in such a public space, was a rare sight. Yet, despite her exposure, not a single person paid attention to her arms because all eyes were fixated on the plates she held high.
