Chapter 379: Entering Shengshi (9)
Instinctively raising her head to look, it turned out that Sheng Jianan had just made a beautiful shot. Tang Yanqi didn’t understand billiards, but seeing the reactions of those around her, she followed suit with applause.
"Brother Jianan, you’re amazing."
Xu Muyi stood on tiptoe and kissed Sheng Jianan’s cheek with a "smack".
The atmosphere in the private room instantly became somewhat tense because of her action.
Sheng Jianan’s gaze had been lingering on Tang Yanqi. He had cleared the table with a single stroke and was triumphantly ready to show off to someone, completely ignoring who was standing next to him.
Then suddenly, he felt a kiss on his cheek.
Sheng Jianan’s expression darkened in an instant. Zhou Chengze, who was holding a cue and preparing to take a shot, also paused, alarm bells ringing in his mind: Oh no!
Everyone familiar with Sheng Jianan knows that before the appearance of Tang Yanqi, he utterly despised the close proximity of women.
All his previous tabloid news was crafted for outsiders, and in reality, no one dared to approach him.
Zhou Chengze recalled once when a little star, relying on her good looks and taking advantage of Sheng Jianan having a bit of alcohol, insisted on getting close; she almost ended up having her arm dislocated.
But Xu Muyi is different; one way or another, she is Xu Muyun’s sister, deserving some face.
Zhou Chengze was about to say something to ease the atmosphere when Tang Yanqi suddenly stood up, walked to Sheng Jianan’s side, and as if nothing had happened, encircled Sheng Jianan’s arm with a bright smile: "Didn’t you say you’d teach me?"
Sheng Jianan’s gaze lingered for two seconds on the small hand encircling his arm, and his grim face began to clear, handing the cue in his hand to Tang Yanqi: "Of course, let’s give it a try."
"Oh wow, Brother Nan acting as a coach? That’s rare, our snooker king, I want to learn too."
Anyone with a discerning eye could see Tang Yanqi was smoothing things over. Zhou Chengze hurriedly chimed in as well, and instantly the originally awkward and tense atmosphere was turned around.
Sheng Jianan led Tang Yanqi to another side, placed his hand on hers entirely enclosing her in his arms, explaining the movements and techniques in detail.
Mu Yunfan also joined the fray, playing with Zhou Chengze on another table, while Qi Cheng picked up a cue too. As a beginner, she was slowly practicing on the side.
For a moment, only Xu Muyi stood there, at a loss.
Xu Muyi was startled by Sheng Jianan’s sudden darkened face, being so close, she could clearly see the ice in the man’s eyes.
Although Sheng Jianan was arrogant and domineering, giving an impression of instability, once he darkened his features, it was as if he was a piece of ancient ice, capable of freezing a person instantly.
Xu Muyi was so frightened her legs felt weak, and by the time she came to her senses, Sheng Jianan had already begun teaching her hand in hand.
Watching the pair, almost embraced, on the other side, Xu Muyi clenched her teeth: "Brother Jianan..."
"Smack"
Before she finished speaking, Tang Yanqi, under Sheng Jianan’s guidance, hit her first shot. The small balls scattered, the sound of collisions almost drowning out her voice.
Considering Tang Yanqi’s beginner status, she lacked both the angle and the force. Sheng Jianan, however, directly kissed her cheek slightly raising the corner of his mouth: "Tuition."
Tang Yanqi felt a bit shy, turned her head, and seriously focused on the cue in her hand and the balls on the table.
"Smack"
Then came the second shot.
Sheng Jianan again leaned over to give a kiss: "Reward."
Xu Muyi’s face turned pale then red, ultimately so angry she could almost burst, while the two people over there expressed their affection openly, no matter how one looked, it was glaringly provocative.
