Chapter 32 - Secretly Measuring Up (3)
Huo Chengming leaned over and, mimicking how she was before, held the pool cue in his hand and hit the ball.
The ball spun out to the side of the table and circled the table.
Zhong Yuhuan gave him an applause from the side and said, “That’s really good, ge ge. A little more practice and you will be able to hit the balls into the pockets!”
Suddenly, Li Jinyuan spoke up from behind, “Teach me too, jie jie!”
He, too, had rarely referred to her as “jie jie”. Partly because he had rarely asked of anything from her and partly because he was worried that she wouldn’t respond.
“Okay, just one minute.” Zhong Yuhuan had the manager brought over another cue stick and took Li Jinyuan over to another pool table.
“Come over here.”
“Okay,” replied Li Jinyuan. His body slowly started to relax and he walked over to Zhong Yuhuan with brisk steps.
All of the others were interested in watching Zhong Yuhuan play pool so nobody said anything but stared at the table.
On this side, Huo Chengming put down his pool cue and started intently at Li Jinyuan.
When he saw that Zhong Yuhuan had taught Li Jinyuan the same technique that she had taught him, Huo Chengming finally picked back up the pool cue, leaned back down, and hit another ball.
A few banging noises later.
Finally, a ball fell into a pocket in a fierce manner.
Huo Chengming stood up, looked over at Zhong Yuhuan and said softly, “Huanhuan, I hit one into the pocket.”
By now, Huo Chengming realized that all he needed to do was to run her name on his tongue for a couple of times, and it was much easier to say it out loudly.
Huanhuan, Huanhuan.
After a few more times, it was almost addicting.
He felt an itch in his throat.
When Zhong Yuhuan heard Huo Chengming’s voice, she handed the pool cue over to Li Jinyuan and looked up at Huo Chengming, “Is ge ge really that good?”
Huo Chengming said softly, “Why don’t you come see for yourself?”
“Alright,” Zhong Yuhuan walked over to him without giving it a second thought.
Li Jinyuan lowered his head and started trying to hit the ball silently.
All the others looked over at Huo Chengming, baffled. Then they turned to look over at Li Jinyuan, also baffled.
It would seem that…..
Something was off.
Zhong Yuhuan, on the other hand, seemed quite happy.
Once they have learned how to play pool, and after both the male lead and the villain boss had grown up… and they’d be wearing suits, with their wide shoulders, narrow waist and long legs… and when they rolled up their sleeves, grabbed a pool cue and started playing, that must be quite an attractive scene.
Zhong Yuhuan smacked her lips, she had finally experienced a shred of accomplishment from raising kids.
***
Author’s words: Zhong Yuhuan felt that it was her that raised the male lead and the boss villains.
But that was not true… 😊
