This billiard hall was opened by Shen Lan and her father.

As the owner's daughter, Shen Lan sometimes has to look after the store. But this belongs to working for the family, and you can not pay a salary. She can collect money while sitting at the counter, but the system is clearly marked for how much money she should charge, and she can't take a single cent out of it.

Only the money earned by being a coach for others, Shen Lan can carry it in his pocket, as long as he doesn't tell his father and doesn't let him know.

"I also put that sign in the corners and corners," Shen Lan sighed, "Your eyes are quite sharp, you can see this." ”

Her so-called brand is the coach price bulletin board in the billiard hall.

Xu Zhe: "It means that you are not close enough." And if you put the sign next to the wall and turn it around so that the side with the word is facing the wall, no one can really see it. ”

Shen Lan: "That's too obvious. If my dad came back suddenly, I can't explain it. Now, at least it can be said that the original position of the brand is blocking the way, so it is put to the side. ”

Xu Zhe glanced at the bulletin board again. In addition to the prices of beginner, intermediate, and advanced instructors, there are also contact information. If a customer wants to hire a coach, they should call the number on the sign.

"Is that your dad's cell phone number?" He asked.

Shen Lan nodded: "That's right." So then again, can you afford to coach? ”

"Absolutely."

Xu Zhe usually doesn't have much to spend, and the outsourcing remuneration for the first two months has already arrived, so he now has nearly 2,000 yuan in his bank card. He also has dozens of yuan in change.

And after witnessing the performance of this short-haired girl crushing Gao Xuefei just now, he was also a little interested in billiards. Perhaps it was the change of mentality brought about by rebirth, Xu Zhe found that he was now easily interested.

So the next hour was spent in one-on-one teaching.

It's only been more than ten minutes, and Gao Xuefei can't bear the loneliness. He leaned over to look at the teaching scene and said, "You guys play slowly, I'm leaving." ”

Xu Zhe: "Okay, goodbye." ”

Gao Xuefei: "When you learn, next time you have a good two shots with me?" ”

Xu Zhe: "No problem. ”

Then Gao Xuefei left the billiard hall.

Shen Lan glanced at the tall man's back and asked, "Is he a friend?" ”

Xu Zhe was still lying on the table: "Classmates." ”

Shen Lan was slightly surprised: "In the same class? I thought he was at least a few years older than you. ”

Xu Zhe: "Actually, we are all in the first year of junior high school. ”

Shen Lan: "That's two grades younger than me...... Let you call your sister, sure enough. ”

Xu Zhe smiled, but did not look up at her, but focused on the direction in which the club was aiming. Now, he's got a little bit of a knack for making shots.

And just like that, dozens of minutes passed.

When the appointed hour was over, Xu Zhe paid thirty yuan.

Shen Lan reminded: "I still need a table fee." ”

Xu Zhe added another ten yuan.

Shen Lan suddenly smiled: "Your talent is very good, you will come again next time!" I promise, it won't be long before you'll be able to beat up your classmate. ”

Xu Zhe also smiled, noncommittal.

Just before turning to leave, he brought up another topic: "Are you going to participate in the Mathematics Olympiad?" ”

Shen Lan was slightly stunned, and then said: "Yes, you can also have an advantage when you go to high school in this way, as long as you can get some grades." ”

Xu Zhe nodded, said "goodbye" and turned to leave.

The first acquaintance with Shen Lan was like this, nothing special - he didn't know this short-haired young lady before he was reborn, and naturally he couldn't know her later development. Although they had a full hour of time together, both of them focused on billiards, one busy teaching and the other busy learning.

When Xu Zhe walked out of the billiard hall, he couldn't help but tremble.

It was warm inside, but it was cold outside. After all, it's January, when it's freezing cold.

He walked in the direction of home.

Xu Zhe felt that he might be too addicted to the new experience of billiards today, so much so that he actually forgot an obvious question. That's the lingering smell of smoke in the billiard hall.

So he was called by his father to stand in the living room. The two parents sat on the sofa behind the coffee table, looking at him with a very serious gaze.

"You smoked?" Father Xu Guowei asked.

Xu Zhe shook his head: "I don't like that thing, I won't smoke it if you ask me to smoke it." ”

Mother Zeng Jing immediately asked, "Then why do you have such a strong smell of smoke?" ”

Xu Zhe only hesitated for less than a second, and then decided to tell the truth: "Because there is a classmate in our class who invited me to play billiards." There was a smell of smoke in the billiard hall. ”

The parents glanced at each other, their faces still a little gloomy.

Xu Guowei asked again: "Your class?" What is your name? What kind of person is he? ”

"Of course it's a bad boy," Xu Zhe spread his hands, "It's the kind of banba." But he has a good attitude towards me, and when he runs into me out of school, he will invite me to play billiards. ”

Zeng Jing: "The billiard hall is not a good place......

Xu Guowei: "If you don't smoke, it's okay......"

When the two parents spoke almost at the same time, they came up with different statements.

Zeng Jing glared at her husband.

And Xu Guowei beckoned to his son: "Come here, let us smell it closer." ”

Xu Zhe took a step forward: "How do you smell it?" ”

"Open your mouth and exhale."

Xu Zhe blew a breath at his father's request.

Then Xu Guowei's face softened a little: "Fortunately, you didn't smoke, but your clothes were stained with the smell of cigarettes." ”

Zeng Jing's eyes widened: "What's good!" The billiard hall is not the place for middle school students either! ”

Xu Guowei: "It's better to play billiards than to smoke, right?" ”

Zeng Jing took a few deep breaths, but didn't know what to say for a while.

At this time, Xu Zhe knew that it was time for him to speak.

So he said, "First of all, I'm not interested in smoking. Secondly, you don't have to worry about my classmates taking me badly, I have my own things to do. You can see by looking at my test results, and no one else can influence me at all. ”

Xu Zhe's tone was very firm, making it difficult for Xu Guowei and Zeng Jing to refute and question.

I think of the surprise of this child since he went to junior high school, from the bus that should have fallen out of control at the beginning, to the spontaneous action of learning, especially the monthly and midterm exams, which won the first place in the class and the top five in the whole grade...... As a parent, I'm really embarrassed to question it anymore.

So Xu Guowei said: "That's good, the results should come down in a few days." Let's talk with our grades. If you can maintain this result, I can go to the billiards hall to play with you. ”

Zeng Jing secretly pulled the corner of her husband's clothes, but Xu Guowei's words had already been spoken, and he was categorical, without the slightest intention of changing his words.

Xu Zhe smiled and said: "A word is a certainty." ”

For him, being able to play billiards was just an addition. Gaining more freedom of movement from parents is key.
