Their journey this time was a lot smoother. She was neither crashing into a lamp post nor running over a stray dog.

It was just that the ambiance in the car was filled with tension. The way both of them interacted with each other was either awkward or in indirect conflict. Although they weren’t arguing, they would constantly end up getting on each other’s nerves.

Finally, they arrived at their destination which was a billiard bar housed in a basement.

The bar was renovated with a European design and gave out a classical western vibe. However, there was a partition in the center decorated with Chinese motifs; hence, it was a perfect blend of Western and Oriental designs together.

After both of them entered, Nan Chen went behind the partition and took off his jacket. He then picked up a billiard cue and started playing.

Ning Ran was puzzled as to how he found time to play billiard given how busy he always was.

“Do you know how to play?”

“Just a little,” Ning Ran replied.

“Come, have a go.” Nan Chen handed the cue to Ning Ran.

After receiving the cue, she attempted to strike one of the balls. Not only did she not hit the ball into one of the pockets, but she had missed the ball totally.

“Is this called ‘a little’?” Nan Chen gave her a condescending look.

Ning Ran rolled her eyes. “I haven’t gotten into my form yet.”

Nan Chen snorted before motioning her to continue.

Again, she missed.

“You should lean forward and keep your eyes on the ball…”

Nan Chen couldn’t stand it any longer and started coaching instead.

With Ning Ran leaning on the billiard table, Nan Chen leaned in behind her. As their body’s overlapped, it suddenly felt weird.

Initially, Nan Chen did intend to just correct her posture. But after gently coming into contact with her body, he could smell her fragrance and feel the softness on her skin.
