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.
