Chapter 830 — The Billiards Challenge

To be honest, Zhen Yingjun did not take Wei Zhao seriously in the least. What Yellow-stage masters or Green-stage masters? In the eyes of the gun squad under his father, were they not mere trash? The sort to be settled with a single shot. Was there any need to be so cautious?

Zou Ruoguang could do nothing about Zhen Yingjun insisting on having his way. Fortunately, as long as Zhen Yingjun did not resort to force, Wei Zhao presumably would not lay the blame on him. Zou Ruoguang could only protect himself now. As for whether Zhen Yingjun would provoke Wei Zhao's displeasure, that was none of Zou Ruoguang's business. After all, the two families were only cooperating.

Wei Zhao asked for a pool table, paid the money, and sat quietly to one side watching Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu play.

Although it was their first time playing pool, they had usually watched some pool matches on television, so their stances and such were imitated quite convincingly.

As for rules and such, neither of them quite understood them, but the two of them were not playing a professional match, so there was no need to play by the rules. They only needed each to take one group of balls and take turns shooting, and whoever first pocketed all of her own group would count as the winner.

Zhen Yingjun watched Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu playing over there, his heart itching. A sudden inspiration gave him a way to strike up a conversation, so he rose and walked over.

"Two beauties, do you need a pool coach?" Zhen Yingjun tried his best to make his smile look dashing and sincere. From the side he had already seen that whether Gu Mengyao or Shen Yushu, both were pool rookies, complete beginners playing for the first time, which was why he had thought of this way to approach them.

Gu Mengyao lifted her eyes and gave Zhen Yingjun a faint glance. She was rather curious. Had he not seen what happened to that red-haired guy before? How did he still dare to come over and hit on them?

Shen Yushu had not thought so much. She was right in the excitement of playing, having fluked several balls in a row like a blind cat running into dead mice, and just as she was happy she was interrupted by Zhen Yingjun. She immediately grew unhappy, knitted her brows and waved her hand. "I am very good. I do not need you to teach me!"

Zhen Yingjun was not discouraged and still stood there introducing himself. "I am Zhen Yingjun, vice president of the Donghai City Billiards Association. In provincial pool tournaments, I have also won many awards!"

"Oh?" Shen Yushu froze, looked at Zhen Yingjun, then said to Gu Mengyao, "Sister Yaoyao, what is he saying?"

"He says he himself is really handsome..." Gu Mengyao was rather speechless. Was there really such a shameless person who, on first meeting others, praised himself for being handsome? Did this man have any sense of shame?

"Handsome? He does not look very handsome. He is not even as handsome as Brother Shield!" Shen Yushu studied Zhen Yingjun carefully for a few moments, then waved her hand with some impatience. "Hey, move aside a bit. Do not get in the way of my game!"

Zhen Yingjun was instantly furious. These two chicks actually ignored him? In provincial pool circles, how many players did not know his great name Zhen Yingjun? But then it occurred to him that these two chicks were probably playing pool for the first time, so it was normal that they did not know his name, and he swallowed his anger and went on, "My name is Zhen Yingjun. I did not mean I am really handsome!"

"Oh, is that so? Then you still have a little self-knowledge. But since that is the case, why do you not change your name to Zhen Ugly?" Shen Yushu said strangely.

"Cough, cough! Let us not discuss this question. Let us talk about pool first?" Zhen Yingjun felt displeased inside. Even if I am not really handsome, I am not really ugly either! Were my looks not among the finest? He did not want to say more on this topic, but shifted the subject back to pool. "Pool is not played the way you play it. It should go like this..."

"Oh, are you annoying or not!" Shen Yushu saw Zhen Yingjun chattering noisily at her side and found him superfluous, and at once grew annoyed. "I am Shu known as the Pool Queen. Do I still need you to teach me? Hurry up and stop being in the way here. With your level, you come to teach me?"

"What is wrong with my level?" Squeezed by Shen Yushu, Zhen Yingjun flared up at once. He was not stupid either. Since Zou Ruoguang had said Wei Zhao was very formidable, he would not openly provoke Wei Zhao. After all, he was alone and weak now and no match for Wei Zhao, so in hitting on girls he also kept a normal attitude and had not thought of using force like that red-haired guy. "I am the vice president of the Donghai City Billiards Association!"

"Oh, there are plenty of vice presidents who have gone down in defeat under my hand." Shen Yushu really found this Zhen Yingjun rather annoying. What scheme he was plotting, Shen Yushu saw with perfect clarity, only this man's way of approaching was relatively gentle, so Shen Yushu really could not do anything to him.

"What!" Zhen Yingjun was about to be stunned with anger by Shen Yushu. He prided himself on a very high level of pool. Although his original purpose was to pick up girls, when someone insulted the skill he was best at, how could Zhen Yingjun accept it? In the Donghai City Billiards Association, he was a figure held like stars around the moon. Arriving here, a beginner actually spoke such big words to him. This made Zhen Yingjun feel as if he had suffered an enormous insult!

"Fine, do you dare to have a match with me?" Zhen Yingjun forced down the anger in his heart and said to Shen Yushu.

"Why should I compete with you?" Shen Yushu asked back.

"I... you..." Zhen Yingjun was speechless for a moment. Shen Yushu's question was somewhat hard for him to answer. Yes, why should Shen Yushu compete with him?

"All right, stop getting in the way of my game!" Shen Yushu paid no more attention to Zhen Yingjun, waved her hand at him, and went on playing pool with Gu Mengyao.

All of this, Wei Zhao sitting to one side took in with his eyes, but Wei Zhao did not intervene either. Although this Zhen Yingjun had shown improper designs on Shen Yushu and Gu Mengyao, he had not done anything out of line, so there was no need for Wei Zhao to step forward and settle it.

In a situation like this, it was enough to leave it for Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu to solve themselves. If Wei Zhao had to step forward for everything, and even such a simple matter required Wei Zhao to handle, then Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu would truly become flowers in a greenhouse, and that would not help their growth!

He was bound to leave sooner or later. He could not guard them for a lifetime, could he? Although Wei Zhao sometimes had the impulse to guard these two little beauties for a lifetime, Wei Zhao could still tell the difference between ideals and reality.

Not to mention whether Tang Yun would agree, even if Tang Yun agreed, he could not have her live together with the young lady and Shen Yushu, could he? And then bring the old man over too? One big family living happily together? Living a carefree life from then on?

It sounded rather lovely, but it did not seem very realistic.
