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.
