Chapter 38 038 Blue Lotus

"Nothing can stop,
your longing for freedom,

An unpredictable career,
Your heart has nothing to worry about..."

When Xu Zhe picked up the billiard cue, he felt slightly lost in thought while listening to the song played in the store.

Although it has been almost half a year since his rebirth, the current popular songs still often make him feel something different.

Gao Xuefei teed off with one stroke and urged: "Don't be stunned, come and play."

Xu Zhe: "Did I tell you that I can't fight?"

Gao Xuefei slapped his forehead: "Oh, yes, I'll teach you. Playing billiards is very simple. You take the pole, aim at the white ball, and hit the ball you want to hit. Just take the shot and that's it! Come on, you try it first."

There is a white ball on the table, as well as other balls of various colors.Although he has never played it, Xu Zhe also knows the most basic method of playing this thing, which is to use a pole to poke the white ball, let the white ball hit the colored balls of other colors, and send the colored balls into the hole.

Xu Zhe looked at the playing postures of other people around him and tried to hit a shot.

Like most newbies, the first shot slipped.The white ball did not go in the direction he aimed at at all, but tilted in another direction and weakly touched another ball.

Gao Xuefei scratched his head: "It's okay, this is your first time, just practice your skills."

Xu Zhe: "How about you hit two shots first and let me see?"

So Gao Xuefei hit a shot.Although he didn't score a goal, he was obviously much better than Xu Zhe, a novice - the white ball hit the target ball, and the target ball hit the hole twice before popping out.

Xu Zhe carefully observed Gao Xuefei's posture and immediately discovered a key point.When he plays, his center of gravity is very low, almost lying on the table.Xu Zhe quickly figured out why this was the case.

Only if you lie down low enough can your eyes be close to the club.It's like when you shoot a gun, the aim should be as close to the barrel as possible.

But at this moment, a voice sounded not far away: "If you want to imitate it, don't imitate him. His posture is wrong."

Xu Zhe turned his head at the sound and saw the girl who was at the counter just now.She was standing outside the counter, not far from the table, looking over here.

Gao Xuefei immediately stood up straight, with a look of dissatisfaction and anger on his face: "Why do you say I'm wrong?"

"Because it's wrong to begin with."

"Are you a better player than me?"

"Correct."

"Then let's try two strokes!"

"can."

After a few words, the two decided to have a game.

So the girls rearranged the balls on the table, and Gao Xuefei hit the ball hard, scattering the balls again.He was lucky and scored one right off the tee.

"The full color is mine. Xu Zhe, look, there are two kinds of balls on the table besides black eight, full color and half color. I scored the full color ball, and the half color is hers." Gao Xuefei explained with a smile. Finished, start hitting the next ball.

The second one swung around in the mouth of the bag and bounced away again.

It was the girl's turn to take the shot.

She also lay very low, with her left hand stretched out in front of her to hold the front end of the club, and her right hand behind her to hold the back end of the club.At first glance, the posture is exactly the same as that of Gao Xuefei.

But for no reason, Xu Zhe felt that her posture was indeed better.

Sure enough, she scored a hole-in-one.The target ball is not even close to the mouth of the bag, it goes in hollow, and the sound is very clear.

Gao Xuefei's face suddenly solidified.

The basic rule of billiards is that once you score one, you can move on to the next.

One, two, three... After the short-haired girl got started, every shot went in without giving Gao Xue a chance to fly out.

Looking at the situation on the table, Xu Zhe asked: "What if she hits all the half-colored ones? Will she win?"

Gao Xuefei turned back: "No, we still have to fight for the black eight."

Xu Zhe: "That means we're about to hit the black eight." Gao Xuefei: "I...fuck!"

In the time it took these two sentences, the girl scored three more goals.So when Gao Xuefei's attention returned to the table, he discovered that the opponent had really hit all the half-colored balls, leaving only the black ball marked No. 8.

Moreover, while she scored the previous ball, she also controlled the movement of the white ball to facilitate the next ball.So when it was time to hit the last black eight, the white ball stopped at a perfect angle that was almost straight.

With a "bang" sound, Heiba ​​entered the hole crisply.

The girl put down her cue, looked at Gao Xuefei, and asked, "Do you want another set?"

Gao Xuefei shook his head vigorously.

She looked at Xu Zhe again and said, "The way I played just now..."

"I've seen it all. Your posture should be stable, especially your left hand. Don't swing it. Keep your center of gravity low and your eyesight should be as level as possible with the club. When your right arm is exerting force, your shoulder should not move. The main force is below the elbow. This is how you poke it out. The rod is almost in a straight line, so it’s pretty accurate.”

Hearing what Xu Zhe said, the girl's eyes suddenly lit up: "You have good observation skills. Then, do you want me to teach you?"

Gao Xuefei protested: "Hey, I paid for this table."

Xu Zhe simply said: "It doesn't matter, I'll pay. I'll learn from her and then I'll fight you."

Gao Xuefei: "...ah?"

The girl smiled slightly: "Okay, then I will teach you. But let's agree first, I will charge additional fees. In addition to the table, there is also a coaching fee."

Gao Xuefei slapped his thigh: "I knew how she could be so kind! Xu Zhe, do you think you have been fooled?"

But Xu Zhe just asked: "What is the standard for coaching fees?"

The short-haired girl first moved her eyes upward, thought for less than a second, and then returned her eyes to his face and said, "30 yuan an hour."

Gao Xuefei was about to complain that the price was much more expensive than the table fee, but Xu Zhe simply agreed: "No problem."

The smile of the girl with short hair became even more obvious.When she smiled like this, her cool and neutral style seemed to be mixed with sugar and became much sweeter.

Gao Xuefei was about to protest: "Then what should I do?"

The girl pointed to the empty table next to her: "You can play here. If you don't turn on the lights, you won't be charged."

Seeing that Xu Zhe insisted on learning from her, and that Xu Zhe had just cleared the table with one shot, leaving him with no excuse for failure, Gao Xuefei could only helplessly light a cigarette and start playing casually on the empty table next to him.

On Xu Zhe's side, the short-haired girl placed a white ball and several colored balls on the table and prepared to start teaching.

She asked casually: "Your name is Xu Zhe, right?"

"Yes. What about you, what do you call me?"

"My name is Shen Lan. I should be a little older than you. You can call me Sister Lan."

"Okay, Sister Lan, are you the daughter of the billiard hall owner, or your niece or sister?"

"It's the boss' daughter."

"No wonder……"

"What do you mean?"

"No wonder, it's very clever to make pocket money this way."

After Xu Zhe said this, he saw a hint of surprise on Shen Lan's face.

She said, "You saw that I was making extra money? How did you see that?"

Xu Zhe pointed to a bulletin board in the corner: "Because your store has already marked the price of coaching, which is sixty for one hour for beginners, eighty for intermediate, and one hundred for advanced."

The price Shen Lan offered was only 30 yuan an hour.
