“There’s a basketball stadium next to it. You can challenge Mu Ran in a 1V1, or you form team with Miao Man.” As it was one of the best hotels in Haigang City, Wang Man was a frequent guest here and knew the facilities here very well.

“Miao Man has just recovered from a serious illness and her body hasn’t fully recovered yet. Playing basketball is purely bullying us. Moreover, you used to be on the school basketball team. Aren’t you afraid of winning unjustly?” When Liu Yan heard Wang Man’s suggestion of playing basketball, she immediately became anxious.

Liu Yan only knew a little bit of basketball, not to mention that she had to team up with Miao Man.

“Then what do you think we should play?” Wang Man rolled her eyes and muttered to herself. It wasn’t that she couldn’t afford to play, right?

“We can play billiards. There’s a billiards hall in the hotel. Manman and I will be on the same team. Mu Ran and Wang Man will be on the same team. We will compete to see who can score more goals. The team with higher score wins.” Liu Yan suggested. If they were playing billiards, she had absolute confidence.

Moreover, she had played with Miao Man a few times back in university. Miao Man’s skills were pretty good too.

“Aren’t you bullying us?”

“The bet was decided by you. Then, we should be the ones in charge of whatever game we play, right? Otherwise, it would be unfair if you’re the one to decide.” Liu Yan retorted. The other people who were watching the show also chimed in. Some people even advised Mu Ran to remove her tattoo so that she would not embarrass herself later.

“Okay,” Mu Ran agreed readily.

Mu Ran and Wang Man went back to their room to change their clothes. On the way back, Wang Man could not help but complain, “I say, Liu Yan used to be your little fangirl. She even fought so hard to get into the debate team because of you. How did she become Miao Man’s lackey now?”

“I don’t know.” Mu Ran spread out her hands.

However, the last time she saw Liu Yan was a long time ago. People always changed.

Wang Man smiled bitterly.

Mu Ran and Miao Man guessed the coin flip. Mu Ran was the first. Ever since she married Fu Ting, Mu Ran’s entertainment activities were pathetically few. She could not remember the last time she played billiards. As she recalled her movements, she pushed the ball away and started the game in a proper manner.

After that, it was Liu Yan’s turn. She scored several times in a row until she missed. Only then did she reluctantly hand the pool cue to Wang Man.

Wang Man was different from Mu Ran. Her entertainment life was very rich. She played billiards once a week, and there was not a skill that she did not know. She scored several times in a row before she missed. Then, the pressure came to Miao Man’s side.

Miao Man’s technique was passable, and she was on par with Mu Ran.

They were neck to neck. It was too close to call which team would win.

During the halftime interval, Mu Ran called Wang Man to the side. “The situation here is pretty much settled. I’m going to close the game.”

“Okay.”

Wang Man answered lazily. Although Mu Ran had not touched a pool cue in six or seven years, she was quite good at it before she married Fu Ting. She was familiarizing herself with the feel of the pool cue while she was dangling Miao Man. If they won too easily, Miao Man and Liu Yan would probably go back on their words.

Moreover, with Wang Man backing them up, Mu Ran could play with such confidence.

On the other side, the atmosphere between Miao Man and Liu Yan was not very pleasant.

Miao Man’s entire face had collapsed. She no longer had the usual expression of a little woman. She pointed at Liu Yan and scolded her, “You were the one who said that you wanted to play billiards with Mu Ran. If you lose, how are you going to compensate me?”

She couldn’t accept the fact that Mu Ran had tattoo of Fu Ting’s name on her.

“It’s useless for you to be angry at me. It’s because you’re too bad at

billiards. If I had played the whole round, I would have won long ago.” Liu Yan was also very angry, she wrinkled her face and added, “Don’t worry, I don’t want to lose either. If my father know that I put on a bet with a contract, he will definitely break my legs!”

Liu Yan’s father hated the fact that she didn’t meet his expectations and was very strict with her. She wasn’t very smart since she was young. Even if she put in a lot of effort to study, she wouldn’t be as smart as those geniuses.

“Anyway, you have to perform well later. If you win, I can convince my father to give you a business deal and let you earn some money.” Miao Man said arrogantly, her eyes full of pride.

Liu Yan nodded thoughtfully and followed Miao Man back to the billiard room.

Because it was a high stake bet, the other students were also very concerned about it. There were many people standing in the billiard room, and it was a rare sight to see a crowd of people.

Most of them did not support either side and just watched for fun..
