Chapter 132

The layout of the Xiao family's villa is quite good. Unlike the typical architectural style of today, which has multiple rooms and small areas, the rooms on the second floor have also been carefully considered in the overall planning, and the recreation room is one of them. The large billiard table does not feel cramped in the hall. There are plenty of batting positions left in the front, back, left and right. There are two sets of sofas and a TV stereo set opposite. It is estimated that it can also be used as a small dance hall or karaoke room. In today's age of lack of entertainment, it is enough to make people relax.

It was just after 10 a.m., and the sun swayed into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Both the room temperature and the light were just right. However, standing in such a comfortable room, Chen Yuanming was not in a happy mood. The chat was still in his throat, as long as he thought about it for a while, it was not difficult to guess that Xiao Junyi had gone to explore his own bottom. No matter what he found, I am afraid he came prepared this time. Looking straight at the man standing in front of him, he opened his mouth first.

"Why, today you want to come back to find the place?"

Xiao Junyi raised a smile on his lips and picked two clubs from the table. "It depends on which time you said it. Was it a month ago, or when we first met a few years ago?"

Chen Yuanming's brows tightened, and he couldn't help but think of the situation when the two first met. At that time, he was just a ghost who had just returned to the world, following the shadows of his previous life aimlessly, only to be recalled by the similarity between Xiao Junyi's eyebrows and eyes, and a very inauthentic abuse of vegetables occurred. And now, he may no longer be able to identify this person wrong.

Looking at the silent young man in front of him, Xiao Junyi also restrained his smile, waved his long arm, and threw a club over.

"It's exhausting to talk to you, let's not talk nonsense today, let's decide the outcome in three rounds."

"Win or lose?" Raising his hand to take the cue, Chen Yuanming's tone revealed a hint of ill will, "Use billiards to decide?"

"Haha, don't you have any confidence in your own skills?" Xiao Junyi raised his eyes and looked straight back, with no joke in his eyes, "If I lose to you, or if I lose For my unsatisfactory self, I can barely hold my breath, but I lost to self-deception, so forgive me for not wanting to accompany me."

This made Chen Yuanming's hand tighten and he held the club firmly, "What do you mean? Think I was joking last time?"

"Okay, Chen Yuanming, how can you possibly not understand what I mean?" Picking up a piece of blue smart powder from the corner of the table, Xiao Junyi wiped the club head leisurely, "If I ask you to find a reason, I'm afraid You can still find thousands, and you are not afraid of suffocating yourself. Who is suitable for you, it is estimated that even you yourself can’t tell. "

This sentence can be regarded as the pain in Chen Yuanming's heart, and the corners of his mouth are tense. He put the club on the table, stretched out his hand and took off the crisp suit on his body, threw it on the sofa, and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt. .

"What if I win? From now on, we will have a clear line, and the well water won't make the river water?"

"Okay, as long as you can win." Xiao Junyi should be neat.

"Okay." Chen Yuanming stopped talking nonsense, reached out and picked up the club, "Who starts first?"

"I've set the rules, you tee off first, don't waste your time with snooker, how about playing 9 balls directly?"

The so-called 9-ball is also the most common game rule on the billiard table. The 9-ball is pocketed to win the game. Every time you hit the ball, you must hit the ball with the smallest number on the table. Generally, the ball is cleared in the order of 1-9. Violations will result in a free kick from the opponent. Since the 9th ball is the real victory, the 9th ball is also the most suspenseful and fastest way to gamble, which is deeply loved by the vast number of billiard hall veterans.

"Is it 9 balls? You are not a small gambler." Of course Chen Yuanming also played this kind of ball, and he saw through the opponent's mind directly.

"It's all over, so what if you don't gamble." Xiao Junyi's mouth crossed a trace of self-deprecation, "What's it like to run behind someone else's butt, don't you know?"

This is the second time that this topic has been mentioned today. When I was very enthusiastic about Sun Lang, Xiao Junyi unfortunately also noticed it. Now it is not surprising that I would associate it, but it was brought forward repeatedly and five times. Rao is Chen Yuanming. There was also an evil fire, and he took a deep look at the other party. He stopped talking nonsense and leaned over to start serving.

The 9-ball is about teeing the ball into the hole. Only when the first ball is in the pocket can you continue to hit the ball. For the game that is easy to clear the table with one shot, this serve is naturally very important. However, apart from the one he played with Xiao Junyi a few years ago, Chen Yuanming has never touched billiards in his life at all.

With a snap, the white cue ball hit the No. 1 ball, and the pile of balls scattered and bounced in all directions. However, the force was a bit too strong. bag.

"Accepted." Xiao Junyi smiled and accepted the situation unceremoniously. Unlike Chen Yuanming, Xiao Junyi was originally very interested in billiards, but he lost the game unexpectedly and miserably that year, which made him practice for a while. Moreover, playing billiards is also one of the most popular entertainment nowadays. In the social circle of Beijing, this thing will not be thrown away at will.

One ball, two balls, three balls... With a few crisp snaps, the round yard balls rolled into the pocket one by one. Xiao Junyi didn't stop, and he took one shot to the end, clearing the table.

Standing up from the desk, he looked at Chen Yuanming with a half-smiling smile, "I'm afraid Chen Dong is too busy with work, so he forgot how to play. Would you like to start another round to warm up?"

Chen Yuanming's face was not very good-looking, and his mood was even more impetuous. It was only then that he realized that Xiao Junyi not only came prepared today, but also meant that he was bound to win. The blow last time not only did not let him let go, but instead aroused some kind of strange fighting spirit, which caught him who was preparing to go elsewhere by surprise.

Taking a deep breath and taking a deep breath, Chen Yuanming was not polite to him, raised his hand to yard the ball, and leaned over to tee off again. This time, he felt a little familiar with his hands. He scored one goal after kick-off. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The first two goals were still a bit reluctant, but after three goals, the familiarity came up. This is also something that has been played for more than ten years and will not be thrown away so easily.

Cleaning the table one stroke at a time, Chen Yuanming's heart gradually stabilized, and his hands were even more stable. Billiards is a sport that requires a high degree of concentration. Calculate the wrong angle and use the wrong amount of strength, which means victory. pass by. It may not matter in normal times, but this time, he can't lose at all!

It may be due to the difference in concentration. He played quite smoothly in this game. Even the 7th ball, which was in a tricky position, was finally hit into the hole. After pushing the 8th ball, it was finally the final round. , Chen Yuanming exhaled and tried a few angles left and right. Just when he was about to serve, Xiao Junyi, who had been standing silently beside him, suddenly spoke up.

"You just can't wait to win this game, then turn around and leave?"

With a flick of his hand, the club slammed out, but in the wrong direction. The 9th ball rolled slowly to the side, but the white ball fell into the pocket. Violation.

Chen Yuanming raised his head angrily, "Xiao Junyi, did you do it on purpose?"

"Bullshit, it's hard to watch you escape with your tail tucked in." Xiao Junyi took out the white ball from the bag, and Xiao Junyi threw it twice in his hand and placed it firmly in the position he needed, "Sometimes I doubt how courageous you are, and you haven't seen your hands shake even in the big business of millions and tens of millions, how come it's your turn to be emotional, like a tortoise with a shriveled head."

"you… "

Just as Chen Yuanming was about to say something, the other party had already bent down. The position of the No. 9 ball is not good. Most of Xiao Junyi's body is lying on the desk, his shoulders are pulled straight, and his T-shirt is slightly rolled up, revealing a thin waist.

With a snap, Chen Yuanming snapped back to his senses, only to see the No. 9 ball falling into the bag quickly, Xiao Junyi stood up slowly, the peach blossom eyes that had been smiling all the year round lost the slightest smile, his sword eyebrows stretched, his pupils stretched out. The color is shining, like some kind of beast staring at its prey eagerly.

"Three games, two wins."

Four words, take it easy.

Chen Yuanming squeezed the wooden pole in his hand, and his face was almost frozen, "Then what? Do you think I should obediently admit defeat? The fuck should I follow you, Dashao Xiao?"

In the face of Chen Yuanming's apparent default on his debts, Xiao Junyi's expression did not change, and his eyes did not look away, "I am the third in the family, and there are two older brothers and one older sister. The real only son is the one who needs blood the most. It's you, Chen Yuanming, Chen Dong. Or, you will find a woman to marry and have children in the future, but now it's just a trick of the road?"

Chen Yuanming couldn't help but stagnate for a while. He was neither interested in having sex with women, nor was he interested in doing tricks for his children. When it comes to raising children, he is not enthusiastic or confident, and he has never considered this issue at all. It's just that in his last life, he had a net worth of at most one million yuan, so whether there is an heir or not is not a big problem. And this life? Even if he says he won't give birth now, will anyone believe it

"Can't speak?" Xiao Junyi put down the club and took a few steps forward, "Last month you said that I thought too much, it was just for fun, now I think clearly, follow Being with people like you is too risky. I have to guard not only men but also women. I have to worry about being pierced by my family. I have to worry about whether it will affect the image of the company. Stop playing, get married and have children, get together and leave."

"Everything that scares you is the same for me, and even more stressful. But..." Xiao Junyi raised his lips slightly, "So what?"

"These days, my fucking head has been broken, but in the end, there is only one answer: if you don't try it, how will you know the result? I, Xiao Junyi, are not the kind of coward who catches his tail and runs away when he sees danger. Mom will live for a lifetime, who can guarantee that he will not make mistakes. If you look forward to everything, what is the meaning of living! "

With these words, the man got closer and closer, to the point where he was only one step away from him. The sun was already hanging high in the sky, and it began to emit the heat of early summer, making the other party's body heat up too. Chen Yuanming gritted his teeth and restrained his urge to retreat. The hand holding the wooden pole was already violent. Several blue veins developed, as if hesitating between "fight or flight".

But Xiao Junyi didn't give him a chance to choose. He just stood in front of him so directly, his peach blossom eyes curved slightly, and he showed a very short smile, "Two rounds. Chen Yuanming, would you like to try it with me?"
