Shocking! The school heartthrob who was adopted by a wealthy family is actually a heiress!

Chapter 130 Snooker

Qin Zhao knew she wanted to ship Shen Yanci and Lin Shi as a couple... She suddenly paused for a moment.

Why does Shen Yanci dislike Lin Shi?
She suddenly glanced at the two of them, as if struck by a sudden inspiration.

Jiang Man kept giving her meaningful glances, making it seem like they were exchanging flirtatious looks.

Lin Shi laughed.

But since it wasn't Qin Zhao who organized the event, she could only look to Lin Shi.

"Sure, let's go together," Lin Shi said quite readily.

"Okay, Zhao Zhao, remember to send me the time and place!" Jiang Man's mother was still waiting. She waved to them and said, "See you then."

She's a very energetic and outgoing woman.

Lin Shi crossed his arms and looked at Qin Zhao with interest: "You like her?"

"..."

Qin Zhao: "Can you please stop talking nonsense?"

"I'm talking nonsense?" Lin Shi retorted. "The moment you saw her, you shook off my arm, stood so straight, and were so conscious of your image. What else could it be but liking her?"

Qin Zhao thought to himself, "It's to prevent her from taking random drugs."

Lin Shi confidently nudged Shen Yanci with his elbow: "Isn't that right?"

It's a ghost.

Shen Yanci raised her eyes and looked at Qin Zhao: "You like her?"

"..."

He had no expression: "Just answer yes or no."

Qin Zhao paused for two seconds, then pursed his lips and said, "Yes."

Lin Shi clicked his tongue: "See, I told you so."

Shen Yanci stared at her with his dark eyes, his emotions unreadable.

Qin Zhao lowered his eyelashes: "It's a friend's liking."

"only friends."

Shen Yanci stared at her for a few seconds, then lowered his eyelids, raised his eyebrows, looked at the tree branches not far away, and asked Lin Shi, "Did you hear that?"

It took Lin Shi two seconds to realize that he was being spoken to, and he raised his voice somewhat speechlessly.

Friends are friends, that's fine.

He's just her brother.

It's not like she's a matchmaker forcing them to date, so why emphasize that to him?

"..."

Qin Zhao first looked up some rules online. Snooker is similar to billiards, but also quite different.

斯诺克一共22颗球，1颗白球（主球）、15颗红球（1分/个），还有6颗彩球（黄、绿、棕、蓝、粉、黑各对应2、3、4、5、6、7分）。

You can only play the colored ball after you've potted the red ball.

If there are still red balls on the table, the colored ball will be returned to its original position by the referee after it goes into the hole, until there are no red balls on the table.

Then, hit the colored balls in order from lowest to highest score.

Until there are no balls on the table.

The theoretical maximum score in a single game is 147 points. There are also penalty points for situations such as pocketing the cue ball, missing any ball, hitting the ball with both feet off the ground, or missing the target ball. The corresponding points are directly added to the opponent's score.

The game ends prematurely when the maximum score of the remaining balls on the table is less than or equal to the score difference.

The rules are much more complicated than those for billiards.

Qin Zhao was so confused by what he was learning that he watched some more instructional videos.

The next day, she wore loose clothes and went downstairs. When she saw Lin Shi wearing a tie, she was stunned for a moment and then glanced at him a couple of times.

Is this how you act when you're just playing ball?
Lin Shi was always satisfied with his face, and he took two selfies in a pretentious manner, showing off his jawline.

He caught a glimpse of Qin Zhao out of the corner of his eye and glanced at her: "Aren't you going to change your clothes?"

Qin Zhao glanced down at his outfit and said calmly, "I'm fine as I am."

Lin Shi clicked his tongue: "Don't you have a suit?"

"No need."

"You've already gone, why don't you at least put on an act?" Lin Shi said matter-of-factly. "Shirt, vest, trousers, and tie—go change!"

"Hurry up, don't keep me waiting too long."

Qin Zhao pursed his lips. He was pretending, and he was pulling her along. Was it so that it wouldn't be awkward if both of them were pretending?
After changing her clothes, she didn't look like a boy anymore. She put on two shoulder pads on one side and wore a white short-sleeved tank top underneath, and only went out when she felt she looked about right.

Lin Shi nodded in satisfaction and handed him her phone so she could take two pictures of herself at home.

They went to a members-only club, which was lavishly decorated.

The staff inside were also dressed formally, all wearing white shirts and vests.

The guests Qin Zhao saw were mostly dressed in business casual attire, with several wearing polo shirts.

Chen Yu raised his hand: "This."

Qin Zhao looked toward the source of the sound and was immediately drawn to the tall figure in the middle.

Shen Yanci was also wearing a black shirt.

He wore a tie.

His shoulders were broad, exuding a cool and aloof charm.

He glanced lazily in her direction.

Qin Zhao paused for two seconds, took a barely audible breath, and looked away.

Jiang Man also arrived, looking excited, holding her phone in one hand and a camera in the other.

Qin Zhao's attention was entirely focused on her.

Jiang Man: "I'll take pictures for you."

Lin Shi was the first to give a thumbs up: "Not bad."

A special receptionist led them to the VIP room.

The double-table private room is spacious, with a 5-meter distance between the two pool tables. There is a soundproof screen in the middle, with the lower half of the screen made of solid wood and the upper half of it made of one-touch frosted glass, which protects privacy while providing flexibility and transparency.

There are separate lounges, and each pool table has a referee and a waiter standing by.
He seemed a bit serious for some reason.

Qin Zhao felt somewhat uncomfortable.

They all seemed quite used to it. Jiang Man ordered several drinks and a fruit platter.

Lin Shi beckoned to Qin Zhao: "I'll demonstrate for you."

And so, he and Qin Zhao were automatically paired up, Shen Yanci and Chen Yu were paired up, and Jiang Manxian was left out.

Lin Shi explained the general rules to Qin Zhao, who had already previewed them yesterday and understood them relatively quickly.

He then demonstrated the hand gesture: "Spread your five fingers, slightly arch your palm, and press your thumb against your index finger to form a V-shaped hand brace. Just aim and fire."

While waiting for the drinks, Jiang Man snapped a few photos with her camera. When she pointed it at Shen Yanci, she noticed that his expression wasn't very good.

He held a golf club in his hand, looking at Qin Zhao with a blank expression and a straight smile.

Jiang Man's eyes darted around, and her shipping radar went off again.

Jealous!

Her lips became upturned.

Which of her ex-partners or her current partner is better?

Lin Shi was instructing Qin Zhao on how to play. Qin Zhao broke the shot and scattered the red balls, then pocketed two red balls with a thud.

He exclaimed "Wow!"

Her eyes lit up: "2 points?"

"Deduct 4 points."

"..."

The scoreboard showed a score of 1:4, and the referee put the second red ball that had been scored back in its original position.

"..."

They played for a while longer, but Lin Shi lost patience and started playing by himself.

Qin Zhaoguang took several free throws. When it was her turn to hit the ball, she pondered her hand gesture and asked Lin Shi, "Like this?"

Lin Shi sighed, propping his cue stick on the ground: "Go find a practice partner for you and play by yourself."

"..."

Chen Yu had a terrible experience. Shen Yanci's cold face lowered the atmosphere several degrees, and he treated him like a Japanese person.

Hearing the commotion on the other end, he raised his hand, his hope rekindled: "Brother Qiangwen, let's switch."

"..."

I feel a little sorry for Zhaozhao. Why is her first reaction to liking someone one of fear and loss?
