Chen Lihua wasn't bothered by the change of tone, she just listened to him, obediently.
Now back in position, Liu Longwei had to start his teaching from the beginning, since she didn't get what he said earlier.
"What is the difference between pool and snooker? I've just come to realize that the two are similar". Chen Lihua asked as she watched him strike a red ball with the cue stick, and it entered into one of the pockets.
Liu Longwei changed position, and continued striking the balls whilst replying her.
"Not just pool and snooker, billiards is similar to them as well. Have you seen a snooker table, or where is being played?".
"I've watched my friends play snooker so many times, so yes, I've seen where it's being played". Chen Lihua said in reply.
"Since you've seen it before, am sure you are able to tell the difference between the pool table in front of you, and the snooker table in your memories". Liu Longwei said while looking at her.
Chen Lihua paused her lips in a thin line, and stared at Liu Longwei with no joy in her heart. "Are you trying to treat me the same way you treat your employees?". She asked.
"Look at that look on your face, you are not even trying to pretend that you are not happy". Liu Longwei gave a low laugh as he approached her and wrapped his hands around her waist.
"Why in the world would I smile when am clearly not happy?". Chen Lihua asked as a matter of fact.
Clearly she wasn't happy with his attitude towards her earlier, but she still allowed him to hug her waist.
"Am sorry, I was just pulling your legs. How can I treat my precious treasure like my employee? You are my wife, and cannot be compared with them. Am sorry okay? My Love, please smile for your Darling". Liu Longwei requested in a smile as he tried to please his wife.
But his efforts were not in waste because, Chen Lihua smiled and hugged his neck.
After they had separated, Liu Longwei began to explain to her. "The main difference between pool, snooker and billiards is the size of the table, the size of the cue stick and the number of balls used in the game..................….".
Snooker is different from the other two games, because the players use a white cue ball to pocket the other balls in a set order, whereas in the other games, there are three balls that can be used as a striker to hit other balls
The main goal of snooker is to score more points than your opponent by pocketing red balls and object balls (alternating). Once all red balls have been pocketed, you can then begin to pocket the remaining object balls in a specific order.
"Thank you for teaching me, and the lesson was interesting. Now the point is getting to hold the cue stick the right way and strike a ball with it". Chen Lihua said.
"Ok, watch me". Liu Longwei said and immediately started to demonstrate.
Now, Chen Lihua watched him with keen interest, because she had a goal in mind to learn how to play the pool by the end of the day. She wouldn't let it turn out like how the dart game came out.
After Liu Longwei showed her, and even went behind her to help her hold the cue stick properly, Chen Lihua was now able to hold the cue stick appropriately.
So she smiled at her progress, and continued to strike the balls with the image of Liu Longwei's tactics in her mind.
Within the next fifiteen minutes, she was able to pocket ten balls.
"Bravo! I owe you a gift for the remarkable progress you showed." Liu Longwei said with a little excitememt in his voice as he clapped his hands.
"Thank you.....thank you". Chen Lihua curtsied with a proud smile on her face.
"Since you've shown such an extraordinary progress, what do you think if we had a match?." Liu Longwei suggested.
"Now?". Chen Lihua asked in surprise. She had just learned to play pool, and now he was asking to have a match?.
"Yes, Now." Liu Longwei replied in a smile.
But how come that smile doesn't look sincere to me?.
"Am not doing that shit with you. You really are the example of the strong that bullies the weak. I have just learned to play pool, and your hands are already itching to defeat me, after your mind must have told you that i was the perfect opponent for you to oppress." Chen Lihua said while giving him the side-eye.
She couldn't believe how shameless he was.
"Sweetheart i love you so much, so how could i bear to bully you?. It's true that i have some experience with the pool, but my skills are rusty now, so I'm practically harmless." Liu Longwei replied with a hurtful expression.
Chen Lihua's eyeballs almost popped out from their sockets when she heard his reply.
What does he mean by his skills were rusty?. The way he pocketed so many balls when teaching her said otherwise.
But if those skills he displayed earlier was actually his skills being rusty, then what was left of her fate?.
And what he did he say about not being able to bully her?.
"You....you, doesn't your concience prick you to say that you've never bullied me before?." Chen Lihua scoffed.
"Have i bullied you before, then how come i don't know about it?." Liu Longwei asked as a slight smile appeared on his face, while giving off the impression that he was really trying to remember when he bullied her.
"Last night you.....". Chen Lihua trailed off.
"What happened last night?". Liu Longwei asked as a visible smug look appeared on his face, as he dangerously closed in on her.
"Forget it, just stay away from me". Chen Lihua said hurriedly, as she placed a palm on his chest to stop him from getting closer to her than he already has.
Liu Longwei stopped in his steps and opene his mouth to say in a low dangerous voice, while pointing at a spot. "If you are talking about last night, and if i am not mistaken, you asked me to give him to......."
"Longwei!." Chen Lihua cut him off imeediately as a little frown appeared on her face.
Last night's incident really made her feel ashamed of herself.
Now him bringing it up, Chen Lihua felt like cutting him into little pieces of minced meat.
