Chapter 71 (1/2)
Chapter 71 - Skill Development 5
Ji Feng's judgment was confirmed in the following ten rounds of battles between Zhang Lei and He Dong.
Zhang Lei didn't win even a single round in ten consecutive rounds. Moreover, after every match was over, He Dong would intentionally say something that seemed friendly, but actually actually contained hidden provocative words. It was precisely to stimulate Zhang Lei to continue fighting with him.
Most importantly, when Zhang Lei took out his wallet after each game was over, He Dong's gaze would stare fixedly at his wallet, and his eyes would s.h.i.+ne. That kind of gaze definitely wasn't something that a rich young master or a successful person should have.
Ji Feng had suspected He Dong's motive from the beginning, and up until now, he was completely sure that He Dong did come for the sake of winning the money. This might not be his only goal, but it was surely his main goal!
The only thing that made Ji Feng somewhat happy was that Xiao Yu Xuan's expression darkened.
With her intelligence, no matter how much she could not extricate herself from a relations.h.i.+p, no matter how fast her IQ dropped, it could be seen that her boyfriend's motive was not that simple.
Furthermore, even if it was only a friendly match, it shouldn't have won against Zhang Lei's so much money. That was a total of 1100 yuan, almost equal to Xiao Yu Xuan's salary for the better part of a month!
Of course, she knew that Zhang Lei was just a student, and the thousand dollars wasn't a small sum to her. If she were to spend it like that, she wouldn't even be able to hear a sound. Perhaps, this thousand yuan was Zhang Lei's living expenses for a few months.
However, with Ji Feng and Zhang Lei present, Xiao Yu Xuan couldn't say much and could only tactfully persuade them. If she had said it directly, it might have put Zhang Lei in a difficult position, and might even have caused Zhang Lei to misunderstand. ”What, your boyfriend won my money, yet you're advising him to lose a little now? What is this?” Acting arrogantly?
Considering this point, Xiao Yu Xuan could only secretly give He Dong a meaningful glance. However, the normally delicate and exquisite He Dong was currently acting as if he hadn't seen her expression at all. He was still happily playing pool with Zhang Lei and teasing her from time to time.
What Xiao Yu Xuan didn't know was that the 'teasing' in her eyes was actually He Dong teasing Zhang Lei. However, women who were immersed in love were mostly blind and unable to extricate themselves, so how could they notice all of this?
”Pah!”
When the twelfth round ended with He Dong's victory, he said with a smile, ”How about it? Do you still dare to play another round? Don't cry!”
Zhang Lei smiled lightly and pa.s.sed over another one hundred dollar bill. He still had a thick stack of money in his wallet, so He Dong's eyes couldn't help but light up when he saw it.
”Of course, we have to continue playing. But before that, we need to go to the toilet.” Ji Feng spoke before Zhang Lei could.
At this moment, this area had already attracted the attention of many people. Many people had surrounded him. Every time He Dong played a game, these people would praise him. Even the billiard room's boss couldn't help but nod in agreement.
”This person's skill is really good. It can't be that some pro player came here to play, right?”
”Who knows? It's not like you don't know the hidden rules in the country. Many players with real skills might not be famous. Maybe this person is a hidden expert!”
”It seems like those two students are really idiots. How could they dare to fight with such an expert?” You're still betting? ”
”Exactly, two idiots! ”Even if you're confident, after a few rounds, you should still be no match for that person. Do you really have too much money?”
