The Ball’s Alive

Chen Yushu and Chu Mengyao thought it was inappropriate to solve the problem like this. It wasn’t ideal to provoke the enemy. Was it because they knew that they had Lin Yi behind their backs?

Lin Yi always thought that Chen Yushu wasn’t brainless, but rather smart. It was why she provoked Zhen Yingjun without worrying because he was here with them.

“10,000 yuan for a game, do you dare to compete with me or not?” Zhen Yingjun roared as his pride in pool was challenged.

“We didn’t bring that much money here today. We are not competing with you!” Chen Yushu replied, full of regrets.

“I don’t need you to give me money. If you lose, you just have to admit that I’m good at pool and you have to learn how to play pool from me!” Zhen Yingjun wasn’t stupid and didn’t say that they have to sleep with him if they lose, he thought it was better to take things slow.

“Oh?” Chen Yushu pondered for a while and thought that it was worthwhile. She turned to Chu Mengyao, “Yaoyao sis, are we going to compete with him?”

“Compete with what? Are you certain that you can win?” Chu Mengyao knew that she couldn’t win against Zhen Yingjun. He was telling them how skilled he was and it didn’t sound like he was boasting, hence Chu Mengyao never planned to compete with him.

“I don’t know…” Chen Yushu pondered for a while. It was possible that two of them can’t win against Zhen Yingjun by himself, but they couldn’t back out now that they’ve talked big. If they backed out now, Zhen Yingjun may think that they were afraid of him. Chen Yushu couldn’t help but to turn her head around towards Lin Yi, “Shield bro, will we win?”

“Maybe…” Lin Yi shrugged, “…”

“Fine, I will! But Yaoyao sis and I will both compete against you! If we win, you have to give us 10,000 yuan each!” Chen Yushu thought Lin Yi had it under control and nodded to accept Zhen Yingjun’s challenge.

Lin Yi immediately smiled bitterly as he didn’t finish talking. He wanted to say “Maybe… Maybe not…” but Chen Yushu cut his sentence off.

“No problem!” Money was not a big problem to Zhen Yingjun, “How do you want to compete? Snooker?”

“What’s snooker?” Chen Yushu didn’t understand what it was.

“It’s a type of way to play pool….” Zhen Yingjun laughed coldly inside. You don’t even know what snooker is yet you dare to play with me? You’re only looking to get beat.”

“Oh, if you are competing with me, you have to play it my way!” Chen Yushu didn’t mind, “We pick a pattern each, whoever finishes hitting all the balls into the hole wins!”

“If that’s the case…” Zhen Yingjun thought that it was almost the same as ordinary pool but without rules to minus and plus points. However, it didn’t matter as he was confident, “Fine, whatever you say!”

It was obvious that he was professional. Although he made Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu feel uncomfortable, he was indeed skilled. Without any doubt, Zhen Yingjun quickly hit all his balls into the pocket, yet Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu only got one in by luck.

“So?” Zhen Yingjun didn’t expect himself to win so easily. They were obviously newbies who didn’t know any skills.

“All proper competition was best of three, you just won one, why are you so pleased?” Chen Yushu was dumbfounded. Didn’t Shield bro said she could win? Why did she lose? She turned her head towards Lin Yi in panic.

“Fine, best of three it is!” Zhen Yingjun didn’t mind. With Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu’s nonexistent skills, he would definitely win even if they won 100 games. Hence, he didn’t mind winning one or two as he thought the win was in the pocket, that was also why he needed these girls to lose willingly, “Next game, you two can have a turn each after my turn! If the two of you can hit all the balls into the pocket together, it will count as your win!”

Zhen Yingjun won a game and tested their level, he wasn’t afraid to talk big.

“Okay…” Chen Yushu wasn’t as confident this time. She expected Lin Yi to help them turn this around but she lost as Lin Yi didn’t appear.

Lin Yi had no choice but to get up, approached the pool table and put both of his hands on the side of the table.

“What are you doing?” Zhen Yingjun didn’t expect Lin Yi to suddenly intervene in it. He thought that he had to be a gentleman all this time without being pushy. What was Lin Yi doing here?

“Nothing, just gonna watch,” Lin Yi replied indifferently, “Why? Can’t I watch you guys play? I’m making sure that you are not cheating.”

“Fine! Go ahead!” Zhen Yingjun heard that Lin Yi just wanted to check whether he was checking or not and he didn’t care. What could Lin Yi do just by watching alone? On the contrary, if he chased Lin Yi away, he would look guilty!

Previously, Zhen Yingjun thought that Lin Yi was going to replace either Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu. If that was the case, Zhen Yingjun would never agree as he didn’t know how skilled Lin Yi was. How could he let Lin Yi ruin his opportunity to win two girls over?

However, Zhen Yingjun neglected Lin Yi as Lin Yi didn’t look like he was going to intervene. He turned to Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu and said, “You guys can start, I’ll give you three turns!”

Normally, a skilled pool player could hit one ball into the pocket from the break shot, but obviously, Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu were incapable of doing so. Hence, having the break shot didn’t give them any advantages. Zhen Yingjun said that he will let Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu three turns each. Letting the opponent six shots was enough to show how overly confident Zhen Yingjun was.

“Bang!”

Chen Yushu took the break shot. The balls were scattered all around the table messily yet none fell into the pocket.

Chu Mengyao was up next. She aimed at one of her balls towards the direction of the pocket, but it was far from its distance due to problems in aim and strength.

It was then Chen Yushu’s turn. However, her light shot didn’t make a ball fall into the pocket, but made the ball strike around like crazy as if it was alive…

Chen Yushu was shocked, so was Chu Mengyao. Even Zhen Yingjun widened his eyes in shock! What was happening? Why didn’t the ball stop? How could Chen Yushu possibly be so strong to make the ball spin none stop?
