Hence, when Xu Zhicheng invited him, Gao Qiao rolled up his sleeves and simply said, “Let’s go!” At this point, he could not even care about Ye Yao, who was beside him, because Ye Yao was around every day. As long as he took the effort to wait around, he would be able to meet Ye Yao. However, it was rare for so many good friends to gather together. Even if they managed to get together once or twice a month, that would already be quite an achievement. So Gao Qiao happily ran off to play mahjong.
Xiang Jingtian also had fun with the others and chatted with them. Huo Buyu brought Ye Yao to the billiards table and asked with a smile, “How about a game?
In fact, Ye Yao had never played billiards, but she had seen others play it.
Hence, at Huo Buyu’s invitation, she narrowed her eyes. “Sure! Come on!”
Huo Buyu smiled and handed Ye Yao a cue stick. He pointed at the table and said like a real gentleman, “You first.”
Ye Yao raised her eyebrows. “Don’t regret it.” If he were to let her go first, Huo Buyu wouldn’t have a chance to have his turn.
Ye Yao posed and said to Huo Buyu, “I don’t know the rules very well. Let’s see who scores more goals. Whoever scores more goals will win, how about that?”
Huo Buyu nodded. “No problem.”
Ye Yao added, “Since we’re going to play, let’s make a bet. How about that?”
Huo Buyu asked, “What sort of bet?”
Ye Yao said outrightly, “Not too much. 30 yuan per ball!”
Huo Buyu chuckled. “You already don’t have any pocket money for next year. Are you ready to lose all your pocket money for the next two years?
Ye Yao looked up arrogantly. “That’s hard to say. I might even win back all my pocket money for this year!’
Huo Buyu’s interest was piqued. Was is possible that Ye Yao was an expert in billiards? He wanted to see it for himself, so he made a gesture for Ye Yao to kick-start the game.
Ye Yao smiled sneakily and got into position. Then, as she drew back the cue and hit the ball, she said, “All balls, enter the pockets!”
Huo Buyu was speechless!
Ye Yao did not use much strength in this shot. Those balls rolled on the table at a speed as slow as a snail’s, but at such an amazing speed, one ball, two balls, three balls… It took a full three minutes for all the balls to crawl into the pockets.
Ye Yao laughed out loud. “Come, come, come. There are a total of 15 balls. Each ball costs 30 yuan. A total of 450 yuan. Let’s play another round. At this speed, as long as I play ten more strokes, I can earn 4500 yuan!”
Ye Yao was in a daze, and Huo Buyu’s expression was rather ugly. He had thought that Ye Yao had some skills, but it turned out that she could only cheat! She was using her jinxing ability!
Ye Yao watched all the billiards balls enter the pockets and danced happily. Then, she excitedly went over to set the balls up again. “I intend to earn all my pocket money back today!” Then, she fired her second stroke. “All balls, enter the pockets!”
It was Ye Yao’s first attempt at billiards, so her shot lacked force. It was not enough to break the triangular formation of balls, hence the balls rolled apart slowly. Then, they entered the pockets randomly, one after another. It was like forcing a duck onto a perch as the balls slowly crawled into the pockets.
Huo Buyu’s expression darkened. “Ye Yao!”
Ye Yao placed her hands on her hips. “What? Are you trying to go back on your word?!”
Huo Buyu retorted with a gloomy expression, “You’re the one who’s cheating!’
“I didn’t!” Ye Yao straightened her back. “We agreed to compete to see who pockets more balls. We didn’t state any other conditions, so it’s an honest win.
You can’t deny it! If you do, you’d have lost all credibility with me!”
Huo Buyu should have known it! Since Ye Yao dared to bet her pocket money, it must not be all that simple! But he was actually completely unguarded when dealing with her! He didn’t expect her to use the Verbal Virtuosity technique against him at all. It was a mistake! It was too much of a mistake!
Huo Buyu looked at Ye Yao, livid. “Whatever!”
Ye Yao knew that Huo Buyu was angry, but so what? Not like he could swallow her alive? Besides, she could now openly earn some pocket money. She wouldn’t let go of such a good opportunity!
Therefore, Ye Yao continued to fill the rack with a smile and then said, “All balls, enter the pockets!”
This happened five to six times, even seven or eight times. The balls were shot into the pockets one following another. The surrounding people paid attention to this and observed Ye Yao’s skills in astonishment.
Although Ye Yao’s playing style was not at all orderly or logical, it was very impressive to be able to pocket all the balls in one go! Most importantly, all the balls were pocketed seven or eight times in a row.. It was too strange!
