Chapter 46
Chi Yu: "Playing pool?"
The first thought that crossed Song Luokui's mind when she saw this message was how did he know? Was she being watched? Song Luokui looked around, but there was no one else besides their people.
Just as she was about to ask Chi Yu, Song Luosheng walked over, "Kuikui, come here, let me teach you how to play."
Song Luokui was startled and quickly put her phone on silent and into her bag. "Zhou Yuan just taught me. I already know how to play."
Song Luosheng: "Then let's play a game."
Song Luokui picked up a cue, "You'll have to go easy on me."
"No problem, I'll definitely let you win."
On the other side, Chi Yu, who was sitting on a chair, grew impatient after waiting for her response for too long and placed his arm over his eyes in frustration.
Song Luokui and Song Luosheng played one game and then stopped. "I don't want to play anymore. You guys continue." Song Luokui went to sit on the side to rest.
Song Luosheng didn't mind and started a new game with others.
Seeing them playing seriously, Song Luokui took out her phone from her bag and immediately sent Chi Yu a message. By this time, more than half an hour had passed.
Finally, Chi Yu felt his phone vibrate. Seeing it was a message from Song Luokui, he exhaled. At least she would reply to him.
Song Luokui asked him: "How did you know? Are you here too?"
Chi Yu: "Yeah, I'm on the second floor."
Song Luokui immediately looked towards the second floor but could only see the dark glass, unable to see inside.
Chi Yu sent another message: "Do you want to come up and play?"
Song Luokui: "No." Song Luokui frowned. Why did he have the same tone as before? They had broken up, after all.
Song Luokui sent another message: "We're enemies."
Chi Yu ignored that sentence. "Or should I come down and play with you?"
Song Luokui's eyes widened as she took a deep breath. Was he threatening her? He must be!
Chi Yu: "I'm coming down now." Although he said that, he didn't actually move.
Song Luokui quickly typed, "No! I'll come up. Wait a moment."
Chi Yu: "Okay, I'll wait for you!"
Song Luokui was so angry that she ground her teeth. She suddenly felt that she had made a mistake by going out to dinner with the male lead earlier. Look, he had already caught her!
Fuming, Song Luokui left with her phone. Seeing her leave, Song Luosheng asked, "Where are you going?"
Still angry, Song Luokui loudly replied, "Bathroom!"
Song Luosheng muttered, "...Why is she suddenly so irritable? What happened to my gentle and lovely sister? Who made her angry?"
After going around in circles, Song Luokui finally found the stairs leading to the second floor. However, there was a door to enter the second floor, and someone was guarding the entrance.
When the guard saw her, he immediately approached her, "Are you Miss Song?"
Song Luokui nodded.
"This way, please."
Soon, Song Luokui was led to an area where she saw Chi Yu sitting on the sofa with food nearby. There were also two pool tables where they could play.
The pool tables looked very high-end, not like the ordinary ones downstairs. These were made of premium rosewood with gold trim, and the cue sticks were also different.
Seeing Song Luokui looking at the pool tables, Chi Yu stood up. "Do you want to play? I can teach you."
Song Luokui waved her hands, "I just learned how to play."
Chi Yu walked over, picked up a cue stick, and applied some chalk to the tip. His hand was bandaged with gauze. "I saw earlier that you're not doing it properly."
Chi Yu demonstrated a very standard stance and then took a shot, sinking the ball in one stroke. He stood up and looked at Song Luokui, "That's how it's done properly."
Song Luokui: ...She didn't see any difference. And his hand...
Still, Song Luokui walked over, and Chi Yu handed her the cue. "You try?"
Song Luokui glanced at him, and Chi Yu was looking at her too. Song Luokui lowered her eyes, took the cue, observed the balls on the table, and then walked to the side. She bent over, gripped the cue with one hand and placed the other on the table to aim. As she was about to take her shot, Chi Yu walked up beside her.
He reached out and held her hand, practically enveloping her. "You should hold it like this..."
Song Luokui was stunned, instantly smelling a familiar scent—it seemed to be the perfume she had bought for him before.
Song Luokui turned her head to look at him in a daze. Chi Yu also lowered his head, and the two gazed into each other's eyes, able to see their own reflections. Not only that, Song Luokui could even see that Chi Yu's irises were pure black instead of the usual brownish color.
Suddenly, Chi Yu leaned even closer to her. Song Luokui's eyes widened in surprise as she abruptly stood up, her forehead colliding with Chi Yu's with a "thump." She pushed him away.
Her heart was pounding rapidly. She held her forehead and looked at Chi Yu, who was now two steps away, in disbelief. "You..."
Yet Chi Yu approached her again. "What's wrong? Can't I teach you? That other guy could teach you, but I can't?"
Song Luokui choked on her words, "Cough, cough... You... you..."
Chi Yu stepped closer, and Song Luokui stepped back. They advanced and retreated, but Song Luokui's back was now against the expensive rosewood pool table.
Song Luokui leaned on the table, feeling very confused. If she wasn't mistaken, Chi Yu... he...
"Don't come any closer," Song Luokui said as Chi Yu approached.
Chi Yu took a step forward, still looking at her. "You haven't answered me yet. Why can't I teach you?" He extended the cue towards her. "I'm more skilled than him!"
Song Luokui didn't respond but suddenly called out, "Brother!"
Chi Yu turned his head, and Song Luokui seized the opportunity to run past him and out of there in a panic.
Chi Yu paused for a moment, clicked his tongue—it seemed he had scared her off. But... no matter.
Meanwhile, Song Luokui hurriedly ran downstairs and went home without saying goodbye to Song Luosheng and the others.
Seeing that she hadn't returned, Song Luosheng called her, "Kuikui, where are you?"
Song Luokui: "I went home."
Song Luosheng: ???
So who had angered his little princess?
Song Luokui held her chest, her heart pounding rapidly. She felt a mix of emotions—conflicted, afraid, doubtful, disbelieving, embarrassed, and more. She looked out the car window as the sky suddenly darkened, as if a storm was about to arrive.
Shortly after Song Luokui returned home, a heavy rain poured down.
Song Luokui rushed straight to her room. Auntie Gui asked, "The young miss is back. Did you have fun today?"
But Song Luokui didn't respond. She quickly ran into her room, locked the door, and collapsed onto the bed, pulling the covers over herself and hiding under them.
After a while, she seemed to smell that familiar scent of perfume again... It must have rubbed off when they were in close contact...
Song Luokui threw off the covers and took a deep breath. Then she sat up, forced to face the probable truth: The male lead! Might be! Interested in her!!
