Curse Love Game

Liu Xinyi looked around and seemed to have no sense of direction.

He shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"Would you like to learn how to ride a bike? There's a small square nearby."

"Eh?"

Xu Qiubai seemed to have found a good direction.

"How do you know I can't ride a bike..."

"Because when Varon injured his foot, you were always running behind me and eating the exhaust gas. If you knew how to ride a bicycle, you would have ridden it a long time ago."

"Well... no one has ever taught me..."

"Where's Aunt Yue?

"Mom said the last time she rode a bike was when she was in college, and she stopped riding after Dad died."

Hmm...it seems like I haven't found the right direction for the topic again.

It wasn't until I actually went out with Xiao Liu that I realized that I didn't know her that well, and that it was not easy to find a rhythm that suited both of us.

The many restrictions around schools are actually a shortcut to narrowing the distance.

"I think... I'll learn it next time when I'm in a better mood..."

Seeing Xu Qiubai begin to examine himself, Xiao Liu finally took the initiative to speak.

"Then it's a deal. Let's make a promise. I promise to teach you until you learn it."

"Yeah, pinky promise!"

Hooking hands is indeed a way to gain Xiao Liu's trust. The little hand came out on its own initiative and hooked hands with Xu Qiubai.

……

Since Liu Xinyi couldn't find anything she wanted to play for the time being, she was led by Xu Qiubai, a more experienced person.

The two came to a nearby billiard club.

As soon as Liu Xinyi entered the door, she was attracted by the dark wooden decoration here. On the wall hung several black-and-white photos of classic billiards events and portraits of several billiards masters.

Xu Qiubai asked a waiter to book a luxurious private room.

The air was filled with a faint scent of leather, and the billiard table in the center of the room was covered with green wool that looked quite expensive.

"Handsome guy, do you need our sparring service?"

Xu Qiubai looked at Liu Xinyi, who quickly shook her head.

The waiter smiled and said goodbye.

"Let's start the fight. My skills are also very poor. Let's just treat it as a fight between noobs."

"Uh-huh!!"

Liu Xinyi is obviously quite interested in billiards.

"How do you play this ball?"

After more than ten minutes of familiarization, Liu Xinyi, who learned the basic rules and immediately started competing with Xu Qiubai, became confused about the hitting point in the center of the table.

"Well, you either need to use some tools, or... climb up and fight."

"oh oh."

Liu Xinyi first tried the golf club rack, but found that she still couldn't reach it.

"Then I'll go up?"

She has always been a person who never gives up. If one method doesn't work, she will immediately try a second one.

"Want my help?"

"Yeah."

Xu Qiubai simply lifted her up and carried her up.

"I mean, I want you to help me get the club..."

is it?

Xu Qiubai pretended to be stupid.

"But this is still more convenient, right? Then I'll carry you down again."

"I, I'm not that pedantic—"

Xiao Liu was a little annoyed by Xu Qiubai. Sitting on the edge of the pool table, her childish look seemed to make the entire private room several degrees brighter.

But her biggest goal is still to score that goal.

She turned on the table from a sitting position to a crawling position.

"Brother, can you help me watch the ball next to me?"

There was a large ball of Xu Qiubai's next to her leg.

"Don't secretly change the position of the ball, I remember it all!"

Thanks to Xu Qiubai's previous shameless behavior, she added.

"Am I a cheater?"

Xu Qiubai becomes very shameless.

"You are!"

Xiao Liu turned around and glared at Xu Qiubai.

"Comfortable."

Xu Qiubai has been missing Xiao Liu's early expression style for a long time.

Liu Xinyi was just about to hit the ball.

"elder brother?"

My calf was covered by a warm hand.

“Isn’t this being isolated?”

Xu Qiubai was confident and justified.

She squared up again, but paused at the last moment.

"Brother, what are you doing?!"

Xu Qiubai blinked and looked at her, then retracted his "dirty hands" that were doing evil things to her milky white calf.

"Nothing. I was just afraid you would hit the ball next to me."

“But my feet are still so far away from the ball!!”

Seeing that Xiao Liu was getting a little emotional, Xu Qiubai quickly stepped back three steps, indicating that he would not make trouble anymore.

Then there was a sound of a pole, and Xiao Liu poked the black eight next to him in with one pole.

"hahahahahahahahaha--"

Xu Qiubai laughed silly.

Liu Xinyi's face turned red with embarrassment, and she ran over angrily to arrest Xu Qiubai.

"Don't mess around, this is wrong!!"

"It's more fun to play this way."

“But we are competing!!”

Seeing that Xiao Liu was really getting angry, Xu Qiubai turned serious in an instant.

"Do you really want to play a game? I think it's a bit of bullying for you."

"We are all newbies, I won't lose!"

More than ten minutes later, Xu Qiubai won the new game with an absolute advantage of 6 goals.

"..."

The moment the black eight was accurately scored, Xiao Liu fell silent.

Even with the influence of Xu Qiubai, her competitive nature from childhood remained persistent.

And this kind of failure without any resistance was the most difficult thing for her to accept.

"Xiao Liu."

Xu Qiubai put down his golf club and walked over to her.

"do what..."

Liu Xinyi responded in a low voice.

"Life is not only about competition and victory to gain happiness."

"..."

Liu Xinyi said nothing.

"Last time at the manor, when you were alone with the black eight ball in your hand and staring blankly, were you thinking about finding someone to fight with?"

Xu Qiubai's words shattered all of Liu Xinyi's depression.

She was surprised, surprised that Xu Qiubai actually knew and remembered that day.

Xu Qiubai suddenly put his hand on her head and gently stroked her hair:

"Because I was watching you that day~

So, just look forward to it like last time, and just laugh together, okay?"

Liu Xinyi suddenly threw herself into Xu Qiubai's arms, her eyes constantly wiping at Xu Qiubai's chest:

"That day...I felt so lonely...so sad..."

"If possible, I can find my brother earlier..."
