In a private game room of a high-end casino, right in the heart of the city, with grey and pale blue wall texture, Su Qing held the cue stick aiming for her second last ball and with a "tak" the ball collided with the left wall then deflected to the opposite hole. Score!Looking at her accomplishment, she gave a half smirk as people applauded her.
Flipping her hair backward gracefully, she raised a challenging brow at He Zheng smugly, who was looking at the Snooker table with all the devotion of a lover.
Even as it was still her turn, she allowed He Zheng to hold the que.
With shaking hands he lifted his cue and aimed at his fourth last ball that was close to a hole.
As he looked through his gold rimmed gla.s.ses at the hole, beads of sweat could be seen forming on his forehead and a drop of sweat trickled down his face.
Seeing as he closed his eyes and took a deep breath and then opened his eyes with the determination of the warrior of Troy.
Looking at all the dramatics Su Qing rolled her eyes and shouted, "Come on bean-d.i.c.k!"
At the same time He Zheng shot but due to excess force the ball hit the edge of the hole and bounced backward giving push to Su Qing last ball that went inside the hole.
Looking at the Snooker Table Su Qing couldn"t keep in the mirth anymore and laughed with her hands on her knees.
Looking at Su Qing who was getting rolled in laughter and everybody else who was trying hard to suppress their laughter he combusted, and cried out loud, "SU QING! You cheat! You always cheat! I am not playing with you ever again!"
With that he threw the cue on the table and stomped his feet.
So the game was over without the eight ball!
He invited all his colleagues and neighbors to show them how he was finally going to "put Su Qing in her place" and show the universal ent.i.ty how the dominion of the "Evil" Su Qing was over.
With the practice of consecutive weeks to find any game in which he can outsmart Su Qing he plotted her demise carefully just to fail again.
Patting his shoulder with a mocking smile Su Qing gasped in pure amus.e.m.e.nt, "Cheating?! Pray enlighten me how my Liege?"
At the young age of 19 He Zheng was the second best hacker in the continent.
He could outs.h.i.+ne any renowned or proclaimed genius but the only thing he couldn"t was win from the peanut-size brained Su Qing, who always seemed to have a trick up her sleeves.
Pointing a finger at Su Qing in pure rage he exclaimed, "You said… YES! You shouted nonsensical words so you could distract me! You viciously plotted this against me so you could harm my pride publicly!"
Rolling her eyes, Su Qing turned to the people, "Okay guys thanks for coming to watch me "viciously plot against him so I could harm his "pride" publicly but the show is over. Please show yourself outside and Oh! In celebration for my "victory" feel free to enjoy my casino. It is on me. My a.s.sistant will facilitate you."
People cheered on this lifetime opportunity as it was one of the most high-end casinos in the capital.
As the room was emptied with only Su Qing and He Zheng left in it, she looked at his scorned expression she again burst out laughing.
"Come on princess! Have a drink."
"Don"t call me that!" He Zheng snapped enough agitated for the night already.
"Sure I won"t." She cooed him nearing the table as she poured wine in two gla.s.ses.
Picking the full gla.s.s she pa.s.sed the half filled gla.s.s to He Zheng, who raised his brows in question.
"Be grateful, Young man I am not serving you orange juice."
Then moving to sit on the couch she muttered under her breath, "Ungrateful underage sp.a.w.n!"
Sitting opposite her he eyed her with untamed irritation and started, "Of course as h.e.l.l a wicked woman like you didn"t invite and paid for mine and my friend"s meals because her highness was feeling generous for the day, so what do you want?"
Rolling her eyes she looked at him for a while then pa.s.sing a heavy sigh she began, "Lei Xinyi is going to die or is already dead."
