Unlike the name One Hand Tie suggested, the actual execution of the knot required the use of both hands. The non-dominant hand would hold onto one end of the string, while the dominant hand carried out the knotting.
Gu Jun's dominant hand was his right hand. As such, his left hand held onto one end of the string and went under the 2 parallel red elastic bands. From the other side, his right hand pulled it upwards.
Holding the two ends, Gu Jun took a deep breath. He felt his calming heart rate and pulled his focus together. In his mind, the scene of Brother Qiang demonstrating the tying procedure replayed. With the 2nd Tier Hands of Dexterity, he precisely controlled every nerve on his hand, following the tempo and postures that were shown to him. His right hand gently and steadily completed an overhand knot. He seamlessly tied another in the flip direction, into a square knot. Following quickly, a Sailor's Knot was flawlessly executed.
