I wrote 哇，祝愿碰运气，能碰上这个组啊. By this I meant I wish I can be lucky and end up in that group. I am worried it will be taken as congratulations on you being lucky ending up in that group (which sounds like "I think you are just lucky with no ability").

Does it sound like I mean the latter?

  • @user6065 Thank you very much for the detailed response. That is not good then, as it means the latter... I'll have to explain to him I meant the former.
