Qianli Jiangling

2014 years.

Hanzheng Street has not yet been completely demolished and rebuilt, and Renxinhui on Wusheng Road is under construction.

The construction of Metro Line 6 has not yet started, and the picturesque mountains and rivers beside the Han River have not yet risen to [-] yuan per level.

At that time, Wuhan was ridiculed as the largest rural area in the country. At that time, the bus drivers had not been restricted by the speed limit, and they drove like F1 all over the city.

Jiang Li was wearing a baggy blue and white school uniform, with one hand in his sweatpants pocket, and slowly walked out of No. 29 Middle School with a lollipop in his mouth.

There is a schoolbag hanging on the side, and the schoolbag contains the math test papers that have just been issued with [-] points.

The boy is tall, with a net height of [-].The back is very straight, and the walking posture is leisurely.The hair color is light, fluffy and soft, which can cover the eyebrows.

It looks so refreshing, but also reveals a trace of ruffian.

Two boys ran over frantically and surrounded the river, one of them smiled and said, "Brother Li, do you want to masturbate at night?"

DOTA and LOL are very popular among students, but unfortunately underage students can only go to black Internet cafes to play online games.

Jiang Li took out the orange-flavored lollipop in his mouth with two fingers like he was pinching a cigarette, squinted at his tablemate Chen Shushu, and said vaguely, "Fuck you, uncle."

Chen Shushu was out of shape, approached mysteriously, and said with a smirk, "Brother Li, I have been studying with you for two years, why didn't I realize that you are interested in men? You are still an old man."

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows mockingly, and said casually, "I'm afraid that your old man will not be able to live well and not be able to satisfy me."

Seeing Chen Shushu's stare, Jiang Li snorted coldly, swallowed his sugar again, strode away with long legs.

His home is not far from the school, in a small alley called Jixian Road near Hanzheng Street.

This area is full of old and dilapidated buildings, occupying a prime location by the Han River, but it has not been demolished for a long time.

The tall and majestic CapitaLand is directly opposite the old Poxiao. Advertisements of various luxury brands are displayed on the huge LED electronic screen outside the square. Looking at the high-end atmosphere, it is very different from the disheveled Laopoxiao.

Jiang Li returned home, threw away his schoolbag, and quickly took off his school uniform jacket.

This house is old and old, with only one bedroom and one living room.Jiang Haijun slept in the room, and Jiang Li slept on a one-meter-wide folding bed in the living room all year round.

There are still 70-watt incandescent light bulbs in the house, and the wires are crookedly attached to the lime-spattered walls.

As long as there is still light coming in from outside, the Jiang family father and son will hardly turn on the lights.

Anyway, Jiang Li doesn't know how to do homework.

He scored [-] points in the math test this time, which is three points higher than last time.

You've made so much progress, why do you still need to write homework?

There was no one in the room, and Jiang Haijun was still working outside.

Jiang Li opened the drawer of the small table in the living room and saw that Jiang Haijun had left him ten yuan.

He stuffed the money into his trouser pocket, ran down the stairs, and bought a bowl of hot dry noodles next door.A bowl of hot dry noodles costs [-] yuan, and he extravagantly added a piece of dry noodles, a total of [-] yuan.

With six yuan left, I went directly to the next door to buy twelve sweet orange lollipops.

Jiang Li has lived in this alley for several years, and almost all the neighbors in the alley know him.

While waiting for the hot and dry noodles, Jiang Li said to the boss seriously: "Aunt Liu, what's the matter with you, I've grown up, why are you still so young, did you take preservatives?"

When Aunt Liu heard this, she immediately beamed with joy, scolded "a little monster" with a smile, and quickly sent Jiangli an extra marinated egg that was left over from the sale.

Jiang Li was standing at the entrance of the alley, slowly eating the marinated eggs.

After finishing dinner, he squinted at the dark sky and the continuous lights in the alley, but he still didn't see Jiang Haijun.

So, he turned around and walked towards the Time Billiards Club on the fifth floor of Love Plaza.

From the age of 12, Jiang Li went to play billiards alone at Time, and now he is 17 years old. He has been there for five years, and he has already recognized the boss and regular customers there.

As soon as he walked in through the gate, he happened to meet Pan Deng, the owner of Time Billiards, walking out with two or three middle-aged men.

Pan Deng is tall and strong, with a small crew cut, likes to wear white sweaters and jeans, and always likes to chew betel nuts.At first glance, it looks very gentle, but it is also inexplicably a bit gangster.

When he saw Jiang Li, Pan Deng stopped first and said, "Xiao Li, have you eaten yet?"

Jiang Li nodded, and replied, "I've eaten."

"That's just right," Pan Deng pointed at a middle-aged man in his fifties behind him, "Someone will come over to challenge Master Hong in a while, we're going to have something to eat now, if that person comes, tell him to wait For a while, or you practice two shots with him first."

Jiang Li nodded and said, "Okay."

This is always the case in larger billiard clubs.

Billiard masters from all over come to play a few rounds with local fans.Get to know each other's level first, negotiate the handicap and then start the official competition, ranging from 1000 to [-] yuan per game.

Jiang Li never gambled, but that didn't stop him from watching.

It was dinner time, and there were only two or three tables open in the billiard room, which was still near the corner of the Big Pocket Nine Ball.

The snooker tables in front were all dark, there were no balls to watch in the river, and I didn’t want to practice alone, so I had to sit silently on the sofa next to the No. 1 table and eat candy.

After sitting like this for ten minutes, Jiang Li glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a boy walking in the door.

The boy was tall, wearing a pair of black-rimmed sunglasses, covering half of his face, only a tall nose and thin lips could be seen.

He was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and baggy cropped black trousers with the shirttail tucked in loosely.

Carrying a leather black rod box in his hand, he didn't go straight to the cashier to open the door when he entered the door, but looked around for a while.

Jiang Li saw that he felt unfamiliar, it should be his first time here.

He also thought about what Boss Pan said just now that someone would come to match the pole, and guessed that this boy was the one he was waiting for.

So he walked over casually, walked up to the boy in white, raised his eyes slightly, and looked at his face.

Jiang Li had already grown to his current height when he was 16 years old, but standing in front of this boy, he had to raise his chin to look directly at his face, which made Jiang Li very unhappy.

In addition, foreign challengers are not always popular, so Jiang Li didn't give him a good face.

Jiang Li ripped on the candy, and said with a slightly sarcastic tone: "Pretend to be struck by lightning, brother dei."

The boy didn't understand, and his pretty thin lips parted slightly: "What?"

The voice is very soft, and the words are clear, like a mountain stream.

Jiang Li pointed at his sunglasses, and said, "Wearing sunglasses at night is either pretending or really blind, are you?"

The boy smiled kindly and asked without answering, "Is Mr. Pan here?"

Jiang Li became more and more sure that he was here to ruin the game, and said: "They went out to eat, you have to wait a while for the match, or play two sets with me."

The boy paused for a few seconds, then walked towards No. 1 snooker table with the rod box in his hand, and said as he walked, "Okay, let's go."

Jiang Li's words had already been released, and I was itchy and wanted to find someone to fight against, so I greeted the little girl at the cash register and asked her to turn on the light at station No. 1.

Generally speaking, the No. 1 ball of a billiards club is generally the best table, and also has the most expensive price.

Jiang Li seldom plays this station, because he is worried that he cannot afford the 88 yuan per hour.

However, he is very particular about the right shot, and usually the loser pays, so as the "No. [-] young player in time", Jiang Li didn't pay attention to this handsome boy in white.

Jiang Li took the initiative to set the ball up, and then asked the boy in white: "Whether it's 2 or 3? Or is it a set?"

The other party slowly opened the rod box, raised his face towards the river calmly, and replied, "Just one game, I will try the rod."

Just such a sentence made Jiang Li so angry that he was half dead.

Look, the other party described playing with him as "trying the pole", as if he didn't take him seriously at all.

You know, even though Jiang Li is young, his accuracy has been mastering time billiards for several years, and he has amazed countless people.

Jiang Li lost his temper and wanted to trick this handsome guy on purpose.

He knew that people like this kind of people who make money by making money on the right shots rarely show their true level in the first shot. Most of them will take a long time to catch big fish, lose a few games first, and let their opponents relax their vigilance.

So, he said: "The rule here is that the loser pays the fee, you know."

The handsome guy in white nodded: "I know."

Jiang Li added: "Since we are playing for the first time, and we don't know each other's level, why don't we gamble?"

The hand of the handsome guy in white who was wiping the club paused for a moment, as if feeling a little fresh, before asking, "What do you want to bet?"

Jiang Li thought of the hot dry noodles that he ate at night, and also thought of the huge signboard of a well-known restaurant in CapitaLand, and he felt a little itchy, so he said, "Let's bet on a meal, and the winner can choose the restaurant."

The handsome guy in white didn't hesitate, and nodded casually, as if he didn't care about it.

So the pairing officially started.

Jiangli is very well-known in Time Billiards.

Firstly, because of his handsome and dazzling appearance, people can never forget him, and secondly, his accuracy is almost invincible.Pan Deng used a sentence to describe Jiangli, that is: "As long as there is a downfall, Xiaoli can go down."

It means that Jiang Li can hit a hundred shots if he has a chance to get in the bag.

Of course, it is under the condition that there is no need to use the pole method.

The two competed for the right to kick off, and the boy in white kicked off.

He hit a defensive shot and got the white ball back to the tee.Jiang Li didn't care about so many roundabout tactics. He hit all 15 red balls on the table with a special cue.As for the white ball, it stopped at a not bad position, and it was a bit difficult to score a goal.

He only needs to bet on one chance, that is, the boy in white can't score with this shot.

Then, his next shot is bound to be able to break a hundred in a single stroke.

The white-clothed boy paused again, holding on to the cue stick without moving, as if he couldn't explain it in words.

He didn't watch the ball, but instead watched the river for a few seconds before walking on the court.

Jiang Li had a hunch that something was wrong.

In the next second, he saw that the boy in white was already lying on the table like a big stretched bird. The posture of leaning over was perfect, and he started to attack violently without any hesitation.

He played one red and one color like a cloud, and even wearing black sunglasses did not affect his speed of distinguishing colored balls at all.

Jiang Li picked up the colored balls for him awkwardly and put them back to the original position again and again.

Xu is that the boy in white is so easy to use. When Jiang Li suddenly realized that he didn't need to pick up the colored balls, the opponent had already played all the balls on the table. The full score was 147 points. He took 7 minutes to clear the table with one stroke. The full score is 147 points.

Jiang Li: "..."

The fastest master in the history of snooker is Rocket O'Sullivan, who took five minutes and 20 seconds.

And this pretentious sunglasses player was only a minute or so slower.

It seems that pretending to be aggressive doesn't mean you will be struck by lightning, and you may also win a game of football and a meal of your choice at a restaurant.

Now Jiang Li knew what was going on with the player's indescribable expression before he took the shot.

Probably just thinking, how could there be such a stupid opponent.

Jiang Li's face darkened visibly, and he turned around in embarrassment and asked the cashier to turn off the light.

The cashier yelled, "If it's less than half an hour, the money will be collected by half an hour, 44 yuan, who will pay?"

Jiang Li waved his hand and replied, "I, I will pay."

In less than 10 minutes, Jiang Li only played once and swung his club once, and it was a great shame to be hanged and beaten like this.

The boy in white didn't say much, he put the cue on the sofa of platform 1, and asked politely, "Which way is the bathroom?"

He didn't show how proud and complacent he was after winning the ball, but he still had that gentle and humble appearance.

Jiang Li pointed in the direction of the bathroom, holding the finished candy stick with his left hand, and said weakly, "There, over there."

While the boy in white went to the bathroom, Jiang Li went to the front desk to pay.

He got a half discount at Time Billiards based on his face, and he only needed to pay 44 for 22 yuan.But these 22 also cost him dinner money for several days, and he still felt a little distressed for a while.

At this time, Pan Deng, Master Hong and others came back together after dinner.

As soon as he saw them, Jiang Li found his master like a bullied dog. Before the boy in white came back, he gritted his teeth and complained: "Mr. Rod 147 got me."

Master Hong was about to gamble with someone, he was shocked when he heard the words, and asked, "So ruthless?"

Jiang Li nodded, and said loudly: "You have to adjust the handicap carefully, you can't be fooled by this dog!"

Several people walked towards the rest area in the middle while talking.

A customer at the nine-ball table happened to be shouting "set the ball", and the waiter happened to go to eat again. Without saying a word, Jiang Li ran to help them set it up, and quickly returned to Pan Deng and the others.

He still wanted to say a few words about the white-clothed dog, but from the corner of his eye, he saw that the other party had already walked towards them.

I had no choice but to keep silent.

When Pan Deng turned his head, seeing the refreshing young man who was getting closer and closer, he asked in surprise, "Qianling?"

The dog named Qianling greeted him: "Uncle."

Pan Deng laughed immediately, and turned back to Jiang Li, "Xiao Li, are you talking about him?"

Jiang Li nodded, looking embarrassed.

Pan Deng pointed to an empty seat beside him, and said, "Qianling, sit down."

After the person sat down, he asked again: "Didn't you say that it will be a few days? Why did you arrive today?"

The boy in white was still wearing sunglasses, but Jiang Li could feel his gaze sweeping towards him.A few seconds later, the boy replied: "Anyway, my eyes are sick recently, so I don't have to go to school, so I just took a long vacation."

Master Hong next to him asked, "What's wrong with your eyes?"

Qianling said: "Bacterial conjunctivitis is pink eye disease. There is a risk of infection, so I wear sunglasses."

Jiang Li on the side: "..."

He kind of wants to punch himself for the rant he made 10 minutes ago.

He also called people "outsiders" and "dogs" in front of his uncle.

Only then did Pan Deng begin to introduce to Jiang Li: "Xiao Li, this is not the one who is fighting against Master Hong, but my nephew Sheng Qianling." After finishing speaking, he added: "He hit you 147?"

Jiang Li nodded awkwardly.

Pan Deng pointed to Sheng Qianling, and said: "He started playing snooker at the age of 7, and won the runner-up in the amateur tournament at the age of 11. When the ball is good, 147 is normal. Now there are many professional players who can't beat him. "

Jiang Li didn't dare to do it again at all right now, so he honestly greeted Sheng Qianling with his tail between his legs: "Teacher Sheng."

Hearing this title, Pan Deng smiled, and continued: "Hey, Xiaoli, I think you should be about the same age. Qianling was born in 96 and will turn 18 in three months. How old are you, Xiaoli?"

Jiang Li couldn't get angry in front of Pan Deng, and he didn't dare to talk anymore, so he could only answer honestly: "July."

Master Hong interrupted: "Then it's a little smaller than Qianling."

Jiang Li: "..."

Who is big and who is small, how big is small, how important is it!

He just wanted to run away at this moment, so that he would not be turned into a dead bone by lightning, not even slag left.

But the handsome guy in white named Sheng Qianling said at this moment: "Xiao Li? You haven't forgotten the bet just now, have you?"

Jiang Li: "..."
