Chapter 13 - Playing Billiards

'A date? He asks me to go on a date with him?'

She was pleasantly surprised by his question.

Was she happy?

Of course, she was happy because she had a special feeling for him.

There was nothing happier than being asked out by your crush, so it was normal if her heart suddenly beat with happiness.

"Are you asking me to go on a date with you?" she inquired.

"Yes." He responded.

"Sure." She tried her best to hide the happiness within her. "So, how about we go on a date now?"

"Now?" he was startled by her words.

"Yes." She responded, "I will come to your house to pick you up if you agree."

"You don't need to pick me up. I will come to your house." he was the one who asked her out, so he felt bad if she had to pick him up.

"Alright. I will send the location of my house later." she agreed instantly because she knew he had to maintain his pride as a man.

"Then I will change my clothes first." He responded.

"Un. I will be waiting at my home." After saying that, she hung up the phone.

Ling Tian went straight to her house after receiving her location. Like him, Su Lingxi also lived in Nanhui city.

It took him fifteen minutes to reach her house by bus.

After arriving at her house, they left immediately. At first, they went to a park. After that, they went to a famous lake.

The duo had dinner by the lake because there were several stalls around the lake. Even though they only ate ordinary and cheap food, they were thrilled.

The duo was drunk in love, so any food would taste delicious if they consumed it together, especially when they were at a beautiful place like a lake.

"Ling Tian, can you play billiards?" she inquired.

Instead of answering her question immediately, he asked, "Why are you asking this question?"

"I suddenly want to play billiards." She gave an honest answer. "If you can play billiards, let's play it."

"Sure." Even though his skills were not at master level, but it was not bad.

"Then it's decided." She uttered.

And like what they had planned, they left to play billiards after lunch.

----

"Ling Tian, let's play 8-Ball Pool." Su Lingxi spoke abruptly.

Su Lingxi and Ling Tian were currently in the billiards hall.

Previously, they rented a table for two hours. They did not rent more than two hours because they would go to another place after playing some games.

"Sure." He agreed instantly.

Su Lingxi began explaining the rules.

She said balls number 1 to 7 were small balls, while numbers 9 to 15 were big balls.

If he managed to pocket a ball number 5, then he got small balls. That meant, he had to pocket all balls from number 1 to 7.

After that, he could aim for ball number 8. He would win the game if he managed to pocket the ball number 8 first.

"Alright. I understand." He responded, "Lady Su, you can play first."

"Sure." After saying that, she hit the cue ball with her cue stick.

*Tar…

The sound of the cue ball hitting the object balls echoed in their ears.

"Good!" she was pleased when she managed to pocket the ball number 6. "I will play with small balls, so you play with big balls."

"It seems like you often play billiards." He uttered.

"I will win the game. Hehe." She hit the cue ball again.

Even though she managed to pocket the ball first, but her skills were below Ling Tian's skill.

For this reason, she lost the first game.

They played the second game.

And like before, she lost the game again.

Actually, Ling Tian wanted to let her win the game and act like a gentleman, but he changed his mind when she said he would get a reward from her if he could defeat her.

This was the reason why he did not play around and let out his real skills.

Of course, Ling Tian only narrowly won over her because her skills were almost as good as his skills.

As Su Lingxi saw him hitting the cue ball, a bad idea suddenly popped up in her mind.

'I will do that.'

She could not help but giggle when she remembered her bad idea.

"Lady Su, it's your turn now." Ling Tian said after failing to pocket the ball number 11.

"Alright." She walked toward the center spot of the table because the cue ball was there.

'Hehe. I will carry out my bad plan now.'

She smiled when she noticed that ball number 2 was close to the side pocket.

*Tar…

Su Lingxi hit the cue ball with her cue stick.

Right after the cue ball hit ball number 5, she put ball number 2 into a side pocket with her left hand.

However, Ling Tian noticed her sneaky tricks.

'Hmm?'

He did not say anything and only smiled at her.

'What a bad lady!'

He said in his head.

"Good!" she managed to pocket the ball number 5, so it was her turn again.

'I can pocket the ball number 1 while hitting the ball number 4.'

With that idea in mind, she focused on hitting the ball number 4.

Little did she know that Ling Tian was paying attention to her left hand because he believed she would use her sneaky tricks again.

*Tar…

The sound of the cue ball hitting the object ball echoed in their ears.

Like before, she used her sneaky tricks again.

But before she could put ball number 1 into a side pocket, Ling Tian placed his left hand in front of ball number 1, ready to catch her left hand.

Su Lingxin instantly turned her head toward him when he slipped his fingers into hers, squeezing her left hand.

"Hehe." She laughed when she got caught red-handed by him.

"Hehe." Ling Tian did not scold her; instead, he laughed like her as if she did not do bad thing.

"Hehe." Instead of feeling embarrassed, she laughed louder.

"You are really a bad lady." He said as he laughed.

"Yes. I am." She giggled. "It's your turn now."

As Ling Tian was aiming at the ball number 15, Su Lingxi stood next to the head of table.

She kept paying attention to the object balls because she wanted to know whether he would play dirty like her or not.

'Oh! He managed to pocket the ball number 15.'

At this moment, she was still calm.

However, it changed when Ling Tian suddenly walked closer to her.

'Why is he suddenly walking toward me with that kind of gaze?'

She turned around to face him.

The duo was currently standing next to the head of the table.

Su Lingxi was shocked again when he kept walking toward her, but she did not say anything and only stared at his black eyes.

'What is he going to do?'

She bent backward when Ling Tian brought his face closer to hers.

At this moment, her upper body was on top of the billiards table with Ling Tian right above her.

'Is he going to kiss me?'
