I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

Qin Ge tightened his grip on Su Li's waist, pulling her closer. "There are mosquitoes, huh? You're quite the player, aren't you?"

"Are you a little white rabbit or a big bad wolf?"

"Whatever it is, you'll have to hold back for now. I'll let you have your fill later!"

Su Li: "..."

Should I just bear with it?

Whose fault is it? I don't know what that liar was doing just now, it's a long story.

Su Li dared not cause any more trouble, and nestled in Qin Ge's arms like a cat, not moving an inch.

On the other side, Li Shuyan and her friends played billiards.

Li Shuyan's simple evening gown accentuated her slender figure. The moment she bent over with her back to Qin Ge, gripping the golf club, Qin Ge was deeply moved.

A slender waist that could be encircled by one hand, a firm and soft curve of the hips...

This woman is amazing!

"You're practically drooling," Su Li said softly. "Is it really that good-looking?"

"It's beautiful, but you don't understand, you don't know."

"I have!"

Qin Ge turned her head and looked down at Su Li with a smile, "If you have it, you have it. Why are you making such a fuss?"

He reached out and pinched it without making a sound. "I've confirmed it, it's definitely there."

Su Li felt embarrassed and speechless at herself. What was she trying to prove?

Is it necessary to be competitive in this kind of thing?

"A single stroke clears the entire platform!"

"Shuyan, this is a complete rip-off between us! It's so unfair!"

"Who can argue with that? Shuyan's skill level is good enough to play professionally!"

"Let her bully me if she wants. It's Shuyan's birthday today, so let her bully me a little. Normally, I wouldn't want to play this game with her!"

Li Shuyan smiled and said, "It's because you guys don't play enough; you're too bad at it!"

"This game is only fun when the players are evenly matched. Is there anyone good enough to play a couple of rounds with me?"

Seeing everyone remain silent, she smiled again, "Is nobody here? I can give you two poles!"

"I'll do it!" A young man stepped forward. "Shuyan, if I beat you, can I make a small request?"

"Young Master Yi seems quite confident in his abilities!" Li Shuyan said with interest. "What are your requirements? Tell me first!"

Yi Siqi then said, "If I beat you, could we have dinner together, just the two of us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd began to make a fuss.

"Is what Young Master Yi is referring to as a candlelight dinner?"

"If you want to follow Shu Yan, you'd better be prepared, there's a lot of competition!"

"Let me see, it doesn't look like spring yet!"

"..."

"Sure!" Li Shuyan readily agreed, then asked, "What if you lose?"

"This..." Yi Siqi was stumped by the question. He was only thinking about the benefits of winning and had not considered the consequences of losing.

"Shuyan, you can say whatever you want!"

After a moment's thought, Li Shuyan said, "If you lose, don't even think about pursuing me anymore."

"I didn't mean anything by it, we're just friends, and I don't want you to waste your time on me."

The crowd erupted in another uproar. Anyone who knew Li Shuyan and Yi Siqi knew that Yi Siqi had long admired Li Shuyan.

They all knew that Li Shuyan's words were sincere, but they were a bit too direct.

This is tantamount to sentencing Yi Siqi to death. The implication is that I, Li Shuyan, have no interest in you, Yi Siqi, and you should not have any further improper thoughts.

Even if you manage to beat me by sheer luck, it'll just be a meal with you, nothing more.

"good!"

"But you don't have to give in to me. Let's be fair and follow the rules."

Yi Siqi's face was extremely embarrassed. For him, winning or losing was no longer important; the result was the same to him.

Whether you fight or not is the same; a fair fight can at least save face for yourself.

"Okay, you start."

Hearing Li Shuyan say this, Yi Siqi no longer held back and took the lead in striking the ball.

Yi Siqi was pleasantly surprised by his opening shot, which pocketed two fancy balls and had the rest of the balls distributed very well, giving him a great chance of winning.

Yi Siqi knew that his skill level was inferior to Li Shuyan's, and he originally planned to leave as soon as the match was over. But now that he saw the situation, he wanted to win!

Whether he eats or not doesn't matter; he just wants to win, he simply wants to win!

Yi Siqi played each shot very cautiously, carefully considering each move before making a shot.

The process went very smoothly, with the remaining five balls falling into the pocket one after another. Yi Siqi became more nervous with each ball he potted, but ultimately no accidents occurred.

He wins as long as he sinks the black eight ball with this shot!

Yi Siqi wiped the gun barrel, observed the angle, took several deep breaths, then bent down and set up the gun.

"Snap—"

The white ball was hit and its angle was slightly off. It collided with the number one solid ball, changing its trajectory, and didn't even touch the black eight ball.

Yi Siqi inwardly sighed with regret, but he was not discouraged.

As long as Li Shuyan doesn't finish his shot in one go, he'll still have a chance to take a shot, and possibly more than once.

However, he soon realized that he had been too optimistic.

Li Shuyan's cueing technique was both fast and accurate, and in the blink of an eye, seven solid balls were pocketed with a "clatter".

As the black eight fell into the pocket, Yi Siqi's heart sank.

He spread the ball too wide, giving himself a better chance while also giving his opponent an opportunity.

But Li Shuyan did not give him a second chance.

"I lost." Yi Siqi gave a wry smile. Li Shuyan's decision to strike was as decisive as a rejection. What else could he say?

"Anyone else want to play a game with me?" Li Shuyan didn't know what to say at this moment, so she simply changed the subject and ignored Yi Siqi's presence.

The people around her instantly fell silent. They weren't crazy; who would want to go up and get tortured at a time like this?

Losing to Li Shuyan isn't shameful, but it's not pretty either!

"I'll do it!"

Qin Ge knew immediately that it was her turn to step forward, and she slowly walked towards Li Shuyan, timing it perfectly.

The group exchanged glances, realizing that none of them recognized Qin Ge.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Qin Ge." Qin Ge smiled and extended a hand to Li Shuyan. "Miss Li, would you like to accept my challenge?"

Li Shuyan didn't reach out. "Here, I'll let you start."

"No rush." ​​Qin Ge nonchalantly withdrew his hand, glancing at the billiard table. "I'm not very good at this."

Li Shuyan frowned and continued, "How about we try a different game?"

"Each person only takes one shot, and whoever sinks the most balls wins, how about it?"

Li Shuyan frowned even deeper. "If you don't know how to play, don't come and join the fun. Who has time to mess around with you!"

"Who's messing around with you? I'm here to bet with you. If you're afraid of losing, then forget it!" Qin Ge didn't consider that Li Shuyan would refuse his challenge. Fortunately, he was still smart enough to provoke her first, which always worked.

Qin Ge secretly chuckled to himself, but maintained a serious demeanor on the surface, saying, "Your skills are indeed quite good, but you're being far too arrogant!"

"Everyone was lenient with you because it was your birthday, but you didn't show any respect for your opponents, especially this 'Young Master Yi,' you practically humiliated him!"

"I really can't stand it anymore. Just tell me if you dare to accept the challenge?"
