In a flash, half of the balls on the table were sunk by Ruan Zeyan . Playing pool required quite a bit of thinking . Every move was carefully calculated in one's head, including the power and direction of the hit . It was quite a satisfying thing to watch two experts playing pool .
Gu Zhiqian didn't seem to worry that Ruan Zeyan was about to clean the table . “Do you know Ling Tianya? I saw that you almost took those drinks for her . ”
“You saw wrong . ” Eyes on the ball, Ruan Zeyan sank it precisely .
Gu Zhiqian ate some mango and nodded, “OK, maybe I was wrong . ” He seemed convinced by Ruan Zeyan's answer .
The room was quiet except for the sound of Ruan Zeyan hitting the balls . Then Gu Zhiqian broke the silence with a light-hearted declaration, “I think I like her . ”
Pong! As Gu Zhiqian said that, Ruan Zeyan shot a ball so hard that it bounced out after circling the sack .
After that mistake, it was Gu Zhiqian's turn . He looked at Ruan Zeyan mockingly, “What happened? Such a low-level mistake . I thought you were going to clean the table . ”
Ruan Zeyan put away his stick and said, “You just met her today . ”
Gu Zhiqian was set up to hit the ball and turned his head to look at Ruan Zeyan who had returned to the couch and started drinking, “You know me, I believe in first impression . That chick gives me a good feeling . ”
Ruan Zeyan didn't respond immediately . Just when Gu Zhiqian focused all his attention on the ball on the table, Ruan Zeyan said, “You are not right for each other . ”
“How would I know if I don't try?” Gu Zhiqian replied . What he didn't see in the dimmed light was the change on Ruan Zeyan's face . “When I first saw her at the studio today, she was going crazy, tearing apart a script next to a trash can while cursing someone out . I found her intriguing immediately . You know, there are so many women who look good and are good in bed, but it's rare to find someone that's interesting . ”
“Cursing someone out . ” There was a shine in Ruan Zeyan's eyes .
“Gu Zhiqian . ” Ruan Zeyan called him by his full name which was quite unusual . “There are so many nice ladies out there that you can sleep with, and Ling Tianya is just some random screenwriter . If you need women, I can arrange some good-looking women from proper families for you . ”
Gu Zhiqian frowned as he stood up straight, “Do I, Gu Zhiqian, need women?”
“Did you forget why your dad beat your ass back then?”
“It doesn't matter . As long as it's not marriage, the old man doesn't care . ”
The underlying meaning was that Ling Tianya gave him a good feeling, so he was considering having some fun with her .
Ruan Zeyan stared at the light over the pool table, squeezing the glass in his hand . He looked rather upset .
“So –” Gu Zhiqian aimed at the last ball on the table, “Little Yaya is mine . ”
Pong! Gu Zhiqian sank it and cleaned the table .
Ling Tianya and Guan Meiyi were the last people in the room . Guan Meiyi was waiting for Ruan Zeyan, thinking maybe he would take her home if she waited until the party was over .
Ling Tianya didn't want to stay any longer for their pretend sisterhood . She told Guan Meiyi that she was leaving . As soon as she walked outside of Liu Fei, Ling Tianya got a call from Ling Tao .
Ling Tao had not called Ling Tianya since the time she sent Ling Yuqing to the police station .
It was very unusual . Something fishy was going on .
