Beauty and the Bodyguard

Sent The Ball Flying

Chen Yushu was excited as she got the advantage.

When Chen Yushu finished her turn, Chu Mengyao was up next. This time, Lin Yi controlled his energy carefully, hence nothing seemed strange other than making Chu Mengyao looking stronger than before.

Lin Yi sighed relief. It looked like he could control the energy smoothly.

It was Chen Yushu’s turn again. However, what happened last time didn’t happen this time. It was an ordinary shot which made Zhen Yingjun sigh in relief. It looked like Chen Yushu’s last performance was merely by luck, or she could’ve done it again.

It was finally Zhen Yingjun’s turn and he was extremely pleased. Judging from the current situation, he could end the game with one shot as it was easy with the skills he had.

Zhen Yingjun leisurely found the first target, stooped down and pushed the cue stick out elegantly.

In the instant that his stick hit the cue ball, Lin Yi transferred energy out.

In the end, Zhen Yingjun’s cue ball soared into the air from the table like a rocket! It was a perfect jump ball.

The crowd didn’t react in time and the cue ball hit one of the audience’s face with a loud ‘bang’. His nose immediately bled and two of his teeth fell out. The person howled in pain, widened his eyes and cursed at Zhen Yingjun while pointing a finger at him, “What the fuck, don’t you have eyes? Where are you aiming at? You made my front teeth fall off!”

“Sorry, sorry, I’m sorry….” Although Zhen Yingjun usually acted arrogantly, he knew that he was in Songshan, not his own territory and it wasn’t ideal for him to get into trouble here. His principle in picking up on girls was to do so in a civilized manner and he couldn’t be too pushy. Hence, he took out his wallet apologetically and gave 3,000 yuan to the man, “This is for your medical fees as my compensation!”

The person was jobless and his eyes shone when he saw 3,000 yuan. He took Zhen Yingjun’s money, moved to the side while covering his mouth and stopped complaining.

Zhen Yingjun didn’t have time to waste with the others right now. His goal was to defeat Chen Yushu and Chu Mengyao so that he could prove that he was skilled enough to teach them, the only way was to avoid troubles with money.

Unlucky! Zhen Yingjun secretly thought to himself. He was panicking and used too much strength to achieve a jump ball. However, ordinary people couldn’t do this and it was sick to watch after he unintentionally hit one.

It looked like he was being too neglected. He caused this as he didn’t properly control his strength, he must be more concentrated next time!

“Alright, it’s my turn again!” Chen Yushu waited for Zhen Yingjun to lose face before placing the cue ball back on the table, ready to start.

Chen Yushu aimed at a ball and hit it!

It was undeniable that the angle was quite good. The cue ball hit one of her balls and pushed it out. It was so close to falling into the pocket but because Chen Yushu didn’t use enough strength, the ball was rolling extremely slowly on the edge of the pocket.

“Go… go… go…” Chen Yushu panicked. The rolling speed of the ball was becoming slower and slower, almost stopping at the edge of the pocket.

Lin Yi smiled lightly and pushed some energy into the ball. The ball which almost stopped suddenly soared into the pocket as if it was injected with stimulants.

“Huh?” Zhen Yingjun was still pleased and he was ready to tell Chen Yushu that it was because of her strength and that the ball would fall into the pocket if she used a little more power. However, the lack of strength caused the current situation.

However, Zhen Yingjun never expected the ball to run into the pocket right before it was about to stop! What was happening? Did someone do something to it?

It was impossible; there were so many people standing the table. If Chen Yushu was to do something, the audience must be able to notice it. Even if others couldn’t, he was staring at the ball yet he discovered nothing wrong.

“Wahahahaha!” Chen Yushu saw the ball falling into the pocket and waved her hands happily in excitement, “I told you I am Shu, the Queen of Pool! See, using a tiny bit more strength is a waste, using a tiny bit less wouldn’t do it! I used just the right amount of strength!”

Chu Mengyao found it strange from the beginning. How did a skilled player like Zhen Yingjun make such a mistake? And he even injured a bystander?

Chen Yushu’s ball was obviously going to stop but suddenly moved and fell into the pocket, Chu Mengyao couldn’t help but suspect that everything was Lin Yi’s doing! Although she didn’t know how Lin Yi did it, she knew how marvelous Lin Yi was.

“That was dangerous,” Zhen Yingjun could only reply so, “It’s a bit dangerous, you should use more strength next time!”

“Use more strength? Like you? Hit someone else’s face with the ball?” Chen Yushu glanced at Zhen Yingjun and questioned him back.

“Huh!” Zhen Yingjun’s face blushed red as stayed silent as he clenched his teeth.

It was Chu Mengyao’s turn and she randomly hit the ball. It was her first time and she wasn’t skilled enough. Since she knew that Lin Yi was there to help them, she knew that Lin Yi will do something about it at the right time.

However, the ball Chu Mengyao hit couldn’t possibly fall into the pocket, but it bumped another ball on its way. The ball was Chu Mengyao’s and according to Lin Yi’s judgments, the path of the ball could head to the pocket. Hence, Lin Yi transferred some energy into the second ball after the first ball stopped. It was the same as Chen Yushu’s ball; it was just about to stop but abruptly began to move and landed in the pocket.

Zhen Yingjun was dumbfounded. What was that? Was it a supernatural power? There was no other reason other than this explanation as it was impossible to say that someone did something. Everyone was standing around the table and no one could touch the balls, how could they achieve it?
