Chapter 487 It's hard to let go
After waking up the next day, Shen Lan did not try to challenge Xu Zhe's limit again. At least after a night's rest, she could still walk and drive normally. If she continued to challenge, she was worried that her legs would be too weak to step on the accelerator and brake.

After sleeping in and having brunch, the two went to a nearby billiard hall.

"I still remember that we first met in the billiard hall," Shen Lan said as she wiped the cue, "You were a complete novice back then, but now, you can barely play."

Xu Zhe: "Your evaluation is really conservative. What do you play, eight-ball or snooker?"

Shen Lan: "You've become successful now. You dare to play snooker with me?"

Xu Zhe: "It's just sitting there drinking water, what's there to be afraid of?"

While chatting, the two of them had already started a game of snooker.

After Shen Lan teed off, Xu Zhe's first shot was a long-range attack, but unfortunately the red ball bounced out of the pocket. He used a shortened shot and deliberately kept a distance from the red ball area to avoid leaving too good an opportunity for his opponent.

"Your aim has indeed improved. Unfortunately, it's still not enough." Shen Lan smiled and leaned over the table to hit a shot.

The red ball went into the pocket.

Xu Zhe shook his head and sighed, "Does it mean that as long as we attack, we will leave you a chance? We must defend."

"But you can't win by just defending."

As she spoke, Shen Lan continued to play...

In the afternoon, when Song Xingye came to the billiard room, he saw the two men still playing billiard.

However, she stood by the table for a few minutes and only saw Shen Lan playing. Xu Zhe just sat there pressing the score counter - the shape of the score counter was similar to an air conditioner remote control, and with each press, the score displayed on the small screen next to it would change accordingly.

Because of Xu Zhe's interest, Song Xingye also learned about the rules of billiards, especially the scoring method of snooker. So after watching for a while, she decided not to ask about the situation.

Shen Lan was still hitting the ball, and her score was rising. It was already over 80 points, while Xu Zhe was in the single digits. There were only two red balls left on the table. That was it. Anything else to ask?
So the silence at this moment became a little subtle.

Song Xingye realized that he was witnessing Xu Zhe's crushing victory and was too embarrassed to say anything.

Xu Zhe noticed Xiao Ye's arrival, but just smiled at her without saying anything. After all, although Shen Lan's time was coming to an end, it was not completely over. He was not quite sure what the so-called "delivery" was, so he planned to wait for the two girls to speak first.

Shen Lan was busy observing the shape of the ball and didn't notice her love rival standing behind her.

Finally, after collecting the last red ball, the white ball went to the side of the pool. The next shot became more difficult and I missed it.

Shen Lan sighed, turned around, and then noticed the person who came.

She said, “You’re here.”

Song Xingye nodded: "It's about time."

Shen Lan took out her phone and took a look: "There's still nearly half an hour left."

Song Xingye: "I don't like to be late, so I arrived a little early. For the next half hour, you can just pretend I don't exist and continue playing your games."

Shen Lan suddenly held Xu Zhe's hand, looked at her and said, "Is it okay to pretend you don't exist?"

Song Xingye's expression remained unchanged: "Of course no problem."

Shen Lan went a step further and hugged Xu Zhe.

Song Xingye seemed to be completely unconcerned and asked calmly, "There are more than 20 minutes left, which should be enough for you to play another round, right? Do you want to continue playing billiards?"

Shen Lan glanced at the scoreboard. The difference of nearly 100 points had ended this round. If she were to start a new round, with her accuracy, 20 minutes should be enough to finish a round of snooker. But was the last bit of time together really just for playing billiards?
The short-haired girl suddenly smiled: "I actually wanted to protest just now. You came early, so the last half hour is no longer the time for Xu Zhe and I to be alone. Even if you don't say anything and just act as a quiet bystander, the feeling is different from being alone with each other."

Song Xingye seemed to realize what she wanted to say, and her eyes became a little more serious. Shen Lan suddenly pushed Xu Zhe hard, causing him to step back two steps, and then forced him to sit down on the chair. When she scored consecutively just now, Xu Zhe was sitting on this chair watching her play.

And now, it was Song Xingye's turn to watch her operations.

Shen Lan sat on Xu Zhe's lap.

Xu Zhe lowered his voice in her ear and asked, "You don't want to do anything in front of her, do you?"

Shen Lan chuckled and said, "She said it's okay."

Xu Zhe: "..."

Song Xingye: "..."

Shen Lan held Xu Zhe's face with both hands, as if she was going to kiss him in the next second. However, she hesitated for a long time and still did not touch Xu Zhe's lips.

Song Xingye suddenly asked: "Do you want some drinks? I want to drink some water. I'll buy some for you."

Shen Lan turned around and said, "No, thank you."

Xu Zhe said: "I want a bottle of mineral water, iced."

Song Xingye walked away with a smile.

The moment his rival turned around and took a step forward, Shen Lan finally pecked his lips, then sat on the chair next to him, keeping a distance from him.

Xu Zhe asked in a low voice: "Didn't you want to do something in front of her? Why didn't you do it?"

Shen Lan pulled the corner of her mouth: "I'm not used to doing this kind of thing in front of others. Sorry, I can't let go."

Xu Zhe nodded and said, "Normal."

Shen Lan suddenly picked up the club again: "Let's play another round. It's too difficult for me to deliberately show affection in front of others."

----

The time spent with Shen Lan is over.

She acted very cool and didn't waste time. Just as the snooker game was over, she waved and said "goodbye" and walked out of the billiard room.

But once she stepped out of the billiard hall, Shen Lan was no longer so cool.

She walked a short distance towards the hotel, her steps becoming heavier and heavier. Finally, she stopped and looked back.

Just at this moment, Xu Zhe and Song Xingye appeared at the door of the billiard hall.

The two obviously did not intend to continue playing billiards, they just paid for the table and left. The boy and girl held hands, just like any normal couple of their age.

Shen Lan wasn't surprised. Holding hands, this was too normal. But she couldn't take her attention away from them.

Xu Zhe and Song Xingye did not go to the hotel, but chose the opposite direction. They walked very slowly, holding hands and strolling slowly.

Shen Lan couldn't help but follow.

She had always disdained following people before. Whether it was Xu Zhe or her two rivals, she would rather face them directly. But now, since she had to admit that it was Song Xingye's time and she couldn't disturb him, she could only quietly follow behind...
