we are not twins

The scorching sun reflected on the green and furry billiard table through the glass windows, as if it was a vast grassland waiting to be dried; the mangy dog ​​in the corner let out a dull bark or two from time to time, but this insignificant sound wave could Let the fluorescent lamp above the head with insufficient power be crumbling; some bloody words are sprayed on the wall with red paint: 50 hours of billiards for 2 yuan spent in Internet cafes; 100 hours of Internet access for 2 yuan spent in billiards.

Xiaoyaoge Billiards and Internet Café Club will always be such a fragmented and dilapidated scene.

Bang!Putter pocket.

Ah Chao proudly looked up at the young man leaning on the edge of the table, and saw that he was holding a cue that was almost as slender as his figure in his hand. His drooping bangs covered his entire left eye, and the other one was also half-opened. Not closed, without brilliance, he couldn't help but ask: "Is your kid sick?"

"You're the only one who is sick." The words uttered by the dying young man were vehement.

Ah Chaojin dragged his flip-flops around the table, observing the position of the ball: "Who are you scolding? I heard Brother Chuan say that someone asked you to be an advertising model, but you refused." Ma Pingchuan, a social worker serving the village in the city, "Isn't this a clear indication that I'm sick? Don't give up such a good opportunity to enter the entertainment industry. What's the future of delivering food to Fat Boy's Tea Restaurant every day?"

"Advertising models are two lifetimes away from the entertainment circle, okay? It's terrible to be uneducated." The young man yawned, "And Brother Chuan is so nonsense, obviously he tricked me into participating in a photography project called 'We Are Not Twins' , has shitty relationship with models."

"twin?"

"Not twins!" The teenager rolled his eyelids and recalled Ma Pingchuan's original words, "Oh, it means looking for strangers who look alike but have no blood relationship all over the world, let them meet in front of the camera, and arouse people's feelings for each other. Thinking about the Coke problem..."

"It's the '□□' problem, it's terrible to be uneducated." A Chao shot out, the white cue ball moved forward while spinning, but missed the target in the plan, and hit the side of the table instead, and then Bouncing back dingy.He moved a little to the side to make room for his golf buddy, "Give me money?"

"Did not mention."

"No wonder, it's boring if you don't give money."

"Money is only one aspect." The boy deftly smeared a little powder on the head of the club, then leaned down, locked his knees, held the club to address the ball, and moved his lips slightly, "The main reason is that I hate taking pictures by nature. "

The club head, hitting point, and goal point are all in a straight line, and the club moves smoothly. The light is very comfortable, neither dazzling nor dim, and the exciting sound of entering the pocket will be heard in a second.Just when the young man thought he had calculated everything accurately, the mangy dog ​​Hu Chi in the corner stood up and barked at the door, and the proprietress who was sitting on the plastic bench by the door in a daze also exclaimed again and again like a ghost in broad daylight. Even the freezer containing beverages burst into a louder running sound.

What happened to one or two?

On the far side of the colored ball is the glass door that looks like it has been smeared with lard. I saw a figure walking from the door against the sunlight and slowly stopping on the opposite side of the table.Zuo Xiaoxiao shifted the focus from the cue ball to the figure, and suddenly the whole person stopped like a big pendulum clock.

The person who came was a boy of similar age, his eyes turned into two thin moons when he smiled, his mouth was wide open, and his white teeth were like neatly arranged bowling pins. Seeing him, he blurted out: "Wow, I didn't expect that we two are really very close." Like it!"

Like a ghost, apart from the eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, ears, skin color, height and weight, what point does the whole body look like?And what kind of things does this kid wear? The shirt and trousers are so old-fashioned, can they compare with my youthful and invincible sparkling look?

"I almost forgot to introduce myself, my name is Wang Mengqi, and you are the matchmaker of the 'We Are Not Twins' photography project, you can also call me Mickey." The boy offered to extend his hand, "You must be Zuo Xiaoxiao? "

Ah Chao shot out like a stray bullet, and hugged his best friend's shoulder: "Wow, Xiaoxiao, are you sure it was born by your father?"

Zuo Xiaoxiao pushed Ah Chao a little further, and then put the long cue horizontally on his shoulders, just like Monkey King: "Why are you looking for me? You said you won't shoot."

"Why not? The photographer is a Canadian. He only stayed in Guangdong for a week. If he misses it, there is no chance."

"Let him go, don't send him off."

"It won't lose a catty of your flesh if you pat it." A Chao booed from the side.

"That's what blood donation says."

"This is an interesting and meaningful thing." Wang Mengqi continued to work hard.

"Things that mean something are never very interesting."

Wang Mengqi sighed, but he seemed to have expected this feedback, and he didn't mind. Instead, he took out his wallet and put it on the billiard table: "You like playing billiards, don't you? Let's play a game, if you win Alright, take away the 1000 yuan in the wallet, and if I win, you can take a photo with me."

Ah Chao in that room was boiling: "Gamble! Bet! If you don't gamble, you don't gamble. The most you lose is to show your face and pose. It's a good deal."

Zuo Xiaoxiao slowly moved his gaze from Wang Mengqi's face to his wallet, and then back to his face: "A master?"

"Ok?"

"I've never played against anyone better than me."

Ah Chao was a little surprised when he heard this, and wondered what the words meant.

Wang Mengqi grinned mischievously: "I just studied for a month."

"Okay, I bet."

After 15 minutes, Zuo Xiaopei, who only touched the club once, watched Wang Mengqi cleanly close all shots.

Fuck you, you've only been studying for a month!The faces of A Chao, the proprietress, and the mangy dog ​​who were watching must have these words written all over their faces.

In fact, even Zuo Xiaoxiao didn't expect that this kid who had a name like Mickey Mouse and looked very bright and upright would be deceiving.Forget it, soldiers never tire of cheating, who let others have a strategy.In fact, he never considered whether he was too gullible or not.

"Acceptance, acquiescence." Wang Mengqi put the wallet back into his trouser pocket, "Then I will make an appointment with the photographer to take pictures tomorrow morning."

edit

Although there was a lot of swearing in his heart, Zuo Xiaoxiao was at least a man of his word. He readily copied the address and phone number Wang Mengqi had given him into his pocket, and then watched the child leave.
