Investment Life

The layout of Xiao's villa is quite good, unlike today's typical architectural style with many houses and small areas. The rooms on the second floor have also been carefully considered in the overall planning, and the entertainment room is one of them.The large billiard table in the hall does not feel cramped. There are plenty of batting positions in the front, rear, left, and right sides. There are two sets of sofas and a set of TV sound system on the opposite side. It is estimated that it can also be used as a small dance hall or karaoke room. In today's era of lack of entertainment, there is enough to keep people entertained.

It was just after 10 o'clock in the morning, and the sunlight swayed into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Both the room temperature and the light were just right. However, standing in such a comfortable room, Chen Yuanming was not in a happy mood. The chatter was still stuck in his throat, and it was not difficult to guess after a little thought that Xiao Junyi had gone to explore his bottom line. No matter what he found, he probably came prepared this time.Looking straight at the man standing in front of him, he spoke first.

"Why, do you want to come back today?"

With a smile on Xiao Junyi's lips, he picked up two clubs from the table. "It depends on which occasion you're talking about. Was it a month ago, or a few years ago when we first met?"

Chen Yuanming's eyebrows tightened, and he couldn't help but think of the situation when the two first met.At that time, I was just a ghost who had just returned to the mortal world, aimlessly following the shadows of my previous life, and only then was the resemblance between Xiao Junyi's eyebrows brought back memories, and I had a very indecent abuse.But now, he might not be able to identify this person again.

Looking at the silent young man in front of him, Xiao Junyi also suppressed his smile, and with a wave of his long arm, he threw a cue over.

"Talking with you is tiring. Let's stop talking nonsense today. Let's decide the outcome in three rounds."

"Win or lose?" Raising his hand to take the cue, Chen Yuanming's tone showed a trace of unkindness, "Using billiards to decide?"

"Hehe, don't you have any confidence in your skills?" Xiao Junyi quickly used the triangle frame to mark the ball. Xiao Junyi raised his eyes and looked straight back. There was no joke in his eyes, "If I lose to you, or To my unfulfilled self, I can barely swallow my breath, but if I lose to self-deception, forgive me for not being with me."

These words made Chen Yuanming tighten his hand and hold the cue firmly, "What do you mean? You think I was joking last time?"

"Okay, Chen Yuanming, how can you not understand what I mean?" Picking up a piece of blue powder from the corner of the table, Xiao Junyi wiped the head of the club slowly, "If you ask you to find a reason, I'm afraid Even if you can still find tens of thousands, you are not afraid of suffocating yourself. I guess you don’t even know who is right for you.”

These words hit the pain in Chen Yuanming's heart, and the corners of his mouth tightened. He put the cue on the table, took off his crisp suit, threw it on the sofa, and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt. .

"Then what if I win? From now on, we will be clear-cut, and the water in the well will not interfere with the water in the river?"

"Fine, as long as you can win." Xiao Junyi deserved to be straightforward.

"Okay." Chen Yuanming stopped talking nonsense and reached out to pick up the cue, "Who will start first?"

"I've decided on the rules, you kick off first, don't waste time with snooker, how about just hitting 9 balls?"

The so-called 9-ball is also the most common game rule on the pool table. The game is won with the 9-ball in the bag. Every time you hit the ball, you must hit the ball with the smallest number on the table. Generally, the balls are cleared in the order of 1-9. Violations result in a free kick to the opponent.Since the No. 9 ball is the real victory, the 9-ball is also the most suspenseful and fastest-paced gambling method, and is deeply loved by veteran billiard hall players.

"Nine balls? You are not a small gambler." Of course, Chen Yuanming has also played this kind of ball, and he can see through the opponent's mind directly.

"It's all over, so what if you don't gamble." Xiao Junyi's mouth twitched a trace of self-mockery, "What's it like to run behind other people's ass, don't you know?"

This is the second time I have mentioned this topic today. When I was hot on Sun Lang, Xiao Junyi happened to notice it. Now it is not strange to think about it, but it has been brought forward repeatedly. Rao Chen Yuanming There was also an evil fire, and he took a deep look at the other party. He stopped talking nonsense and bent down to serve.

The 9-ball is about driving the ball into the hole. Only when the first ball is pocketed can you continue to hit the ball. For the game that is easy to clear the table with one shot, this tee shot is naturally very important.However, apart from the one he played with Xiao Junyi a few years ago, Chen Yuanming has never touched billiards much in his life. He couldn't find the right time and couldn't find the right opponent.

With a bang, the white cue ball hit the No. 1 ball. The pile of balls scattered and bounced in all directions, but the force was too strong. bag.

"Accepted." Xiao Junyi smiled, and took over the situation unceremoniously.Unlike Chen Yuanming, Xiao Junyi was very interested in billiards at first, but he unexpectedly lost miserably in that round, which made him practice for a while later.Besides, playing billiards is also one of the most popular entertainments nowadays, and in the social circle of the capital, this thing will not be thrown away casually.

One ball, two balls, three balls... With a few crackling sounds, the round yardage balls rolled into the pocket one by one, Xiao Junyi didn't stop, and cleared the table with one shot to the bottom.

Standing up from the desk, he looked at Chen Yuanming with a half-smile, "Chen Dong is probably too busy with work, so he forgot how to play. Do you want to start another game to warm up?"

Chen Yuanming's complexion was not very good-looking, and his mood was even more impetuous. It was only then that he realized that this kid Xiao Junyi not only came prepared today, but also had a sense of certainty.The last blow not only didn't make him let go, but instead aroused some kind of strange fighting spirit, which caught him off guard when he was preparing to go elsewhere.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yuanming was not polite to him, he raised his hand to catch the ball, and leaned over to tee off again.This time, he had a sense of familiarity at the start, and he scored a ball at the kickoff. He couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. The first two balls were a little bit reluctant, but after the third ball, the familiarity came up. This is also something that has been played for more than ten years, and it will not be thrown away so easily.

Cleaning the table with one shot after another, Chen Yuanming's heart gradually stabilized, and his hands became more stable. Billiards is a sport that requires a high degree of concentration. Miscalculating an angle and using a little bit of strength means victory. Passed by.It might not matter in normal times, but this time, he simply can't lose!

It may be due to the difference in concentration. He played quite smoothly this time. Even the No. 7 ball, which was in a rather tricky position, was finally hit into the hole smoothly. After pushing the No. 8 ball, it was finally the last round. , Chen Yuanming exhaled, tried several angles left and right, and when he was about to serve, Xiao Junyi, who had been standing silently by the side, suddenly spoke.

"You can't wait to win this round and then turn around and leave?"

With a shake of the hand, the cue was hit with a snap, but the direction was a bit wrong. The No. 9 ball slowly rolled to the side, but the white ball fell into the pocket.Violation.

Chen Yuanming raised his head angrily, "Xiao Junyi, did you do it on purpose?"

"Nonsense, maybe I can still watch you run away with your tail between your legs." Taking out the white ball from the ball bag, Xiao Junyi tossed it twice in his hand, and put it firmly in the position he needed, "Sometimes I even doubt how courageous you are, and you haven't seen your hand tremble for a big business of tens of millions, but when it comes to feelings, you are like a shrinking tortoise."

"you……"

Just as Chen Yuanming was about to say something, the other party had already bent down.The position of the No. 9 ball is not good. Most of Xiao Junyi's body is lying on the desk, his shoulders are straightened, and his T-shirt is slightly rolled up, revealing a thin waist.

With a bang, Chen Yuanming suddenly came back to his senses, and saw the No. 9 ball falling into the bag quickly. Xiao Junyi stood up slowly, and the smile disappeared from the pair of peach blossom eyes that had been smiling all the year round. The color is shiny, like some kind of beast staring at its prey eager to try.

"Three rounds, two wins."

Four words, take it easy.

Chen Yuanming squeezed the wooden pole in his hand tightly, and his face was almost covered with ice, "Then what? You think I should obediently admit defeat? Should I fucking mess around with you, Young Master Xiao?"

In the face of Chen Yuanming's obvious reneging behavior, Xiao Junyi's expression did not change, nor did he move his eyes away, "I am the third in the family, and I have two older brothers and one older sister. The real only child also needs blood the most. It is you, Chen Yuanming and Chen Dong, who will inherit it. Or, you will also find a woman to marry and have children in the future, and now it is just a trick of the dry road?"

Chen Yuanming couldn't help but hesitate slightly, he was neither interested in having sex with women, nor in doing tricks for his heirs.When it comes to raising children, he is not enthusiastic or confident, and has never considered this issue at all.It's just that in his previous life, his net worth was a million or so at most, so whether he has an heir or not is not a big problem.And this life?Even if he said that he would not give birth now, would anyone believe it?

"Speechless?" Xiao Junyi casually put down his cue and took a few steps forward, "Last month you said that I didn't think too much and it was just for fun. People like you are too risky to be together. I have to guard against not only men but also women. I have to worry about being punctured by my family. Stop playing, go to get married and have children, get together and get away."

"All the things that scare you are the same for me, even more stressful. But..." Xiao Junyi's lips twitched slightly, "So what?"

"I've been thinking about fucking my head these days, but at the end of the day, there is only one answer: How can I know the result if I don't try it? I, Xiao Junyi, am not the kind of coward who runs away with his tail between his legs when he sees danger. Mom only lives for a lifetime, who can guarantee that she will not make mistakes. What is the point of living if you look ahead and look backward in everything!"

Following these words, the man got closer and closer, until he was only one step away from him.The sun was already high in the sky, and it began to radiate the heat of early summer, which made the heat on the opponent's body evaporate. Chen Yuanming clenched his teeth tightly, restraining his urge to retreat, and the hand holding the wooden pole was already violent. A few veins popped up, as if hesitating between "fight or flight".

But Xiao Junyi didn't give him a chance to choose, so he stood directly in front of him, his peach eyes slightly curved, showing a very shallow smile, "Two rounds. Chen Yuanming, are you willing to try it with me?"
