"To put it simply, my parents were both the pride of their time. They were pretty impressive college students back then. My dad also has a younger brother who runs a billiard hall here. Well, this billiard hall was originally opened by that uncle. But then one day, that uncle ran away due to gambling debts."
While talking, Shen Lan did not look at Xu Zhe, but kept staring at the table. She hit another shot, and the red No. 3 ball also went into the hole crisply.
"My grandparents were so angry that they fell ill. My father wanted to come back to take care of the elderly, but my mother didn't want to. She also happened to have an opportunity to go abroad, so she went. I don't know where my mother is now, maybe in some laboratory."
As Shen Lan spoke, she hit another shot. The white ball sliced the thin edge of the purple No. 4 ball, letting it slowly roll into the hole.
When the white ball stops, it is already in the right position to hit the next one.
"Later, my grandparents passed away one after another. This billiard hall is still there, and the property rights of the store originally belonged to our family. My father renovated it, cleaned it up, and reopened it. It happened that I was a little older, so I could help him look after the store often. He would call up his old friends and go riding on motorcycles for fun. Now, he should have ridden his bike and will be able to go to the suburbs soon."
The city is not big, and it doesn't take long to drive out of the main urban area, and the same is true for riding a motorcycle. The roads outside are wide and the road conditions are good. It must be very cool to ride a bike at high speed.
Xu Zhe: “He is indeed a man with a story.”
"I don't blame him. He... never mind. There's nothing much to say."
The girl paused for a moment, then suddenly hit the next ball. The last full-color ball went into the hole, and except for the half-color balls belonging to Xu Zhe, there was only the black eight left on the table.
At this time, Shen Lan tilted her head: "I seem to have forgotten to close my eyes."
Xu Zhe smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. We've already hit this far. Just finish it in one stroke."
Shen Lan took a deep breath, and when he hit the ball again, he added an extremely strong side spin to the white ball.
As the black eight fell into the hole, the white ball hit the edge of the table and accelerated suddenly, running around on the table like a headless fly...
Shen Lan put down the club and said softly, "I don't want to play anymore, you can play by yourself."
"it is good."
Xu Zhe could understand her feelings at the moment. Of course, it was impossible to empathize with her, he just understood that it must not be easy to say what he just said.
Thinking back to what the girl's father said, "She has been arrogant since she was a child," Xu Zhe guessed that Shen Lan might not even have talked about these words with her classmates or friends.
But at this moment, Shen Lan just turned around and saw a tall boy at the counter, with two other boys standing next to him, acting sneaky...
She subconsciously shouted: "What are you doing?!"
Xu Zhe recognized them. These three seemed to be the high school students from his school who almost robbed him one weekend last semester.
One of the high school students said angrily, "Go away and get out of the way!"
The other one hurriedly urged: "Found it, found it, hurry up, take it and go..."
Shen Lan immediately understood what was going on. She usually found that the cash register at the counter was very old and could be pried open with a little force. But this was the first time she had seen such rampant theft in her two or three years of guarding the billiard hall.
The girl was so angry that she took out her cell phone and dialed 110 directly.
"What are you doing? Give it to me!" A high school student, seeing that the situation was not good, rushed over to grab her cell phone.
Of course Shen Lan wouldn't give it to him, so the high school student picked up a golf club from the rack next to him and hit him on the head!
Instantly, the girl was so frightened that she forgot to hide and could only close her eyes tightly... But after two seconds, she did not feel the pain she expected. Instead, she only heard a "pop" sound, as if the poles collided with each other?
When Shen Lan opened her eyes, she saw Xu Zhe holding a golf club, standing in front of her.

Chapter 66 Thorn Bird
2023-09-06
Shen Lan couldn't see at this time that Xu Zhe's mouth corners were twitching.
For many things, the expected and the actual are completely different. For Xu Zhe, he originally thought that he should be like a swordsman, using his club to block the opponent's club, and at that moment, he would shake his wrist, release the force, and then counterattack, playing a beautiful catch and serve...
However, the reality is that although he did catch the ball, the opponent's strength was completely beyond his control. Not to mention the subsequent reaction and release, the opponent's club even hit the back of his hand!
Fortunately, when the two poles collided, the damage was largely offset.
Even so, Xu Zhe's right hand was in so much pain that he could hardly hold the club, and his wrist and below couldn't help shaking.
But now he understood more clearly that the more this was the case, the more he could not show any weakness.
Since he couldn't help gritting his teeth because of the pain, he deliberately opened his mouth to let people see his grinning face. However, he was a head shorter than the high school student in front of him, so no matter how angry he was, he was more like a kitten meeting a tiger.
"Who the hell are you!" the high school student yelled, raised the golf club with his backhand, and was about to hit Xu Zhe on the head.
Shen Lan wanted to stand in front of him, just like he had just stood in front of her. But at that moment, she found that her hands seemed to be out of control and she couldn't move at all.
Fear is like shackles.
The girl only had time to blink before her vision became blurry. She opened her mouth and cried, "Stop it!"
Then the other side really stopped.
However, the reason for stopping had nothing to do with Shen Lan, but with Xu Zhe - his reaction was faster, and he thrust the club hard before the opponent could exert force.
The club head was aimed at the high school student's belly. However, Xu Zhe's right hand was still shaking, and it was too difficult to be steady, accurate and ruthless when exerting force. Both stability and accuracy were sacrificed, and only ruthlessness was achieved.
So the head of the club did not hit the opponent's abdomen, but a part lower down, a few inches below the navel.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
The high school student dropped the pole in his hand, covered his lower abdomen with both hands, and knelt down in front of Xu Zhe on the spot. Within two seconds, this guy's face turned red like liver.
Instantly, a series of words popped up in Xu Zhe's mind: fatal chicken attack, chicken and eggs flying, egg demolition expert, Bakugan boy...
The problem was that two other high school students were also walking towards this side.
If he couldn't scare them, he would be facing a one-on-two situation. Considering his physical disadvantage, Xu Zhe thought he should think of a way to bluff.
Xu Zhe stood up straight, deliberately showing a contemptuous expression, glanced at the victim lying on the ground, and then looked at the two men.
The pain from being hit on the back of his hand had not subsided, and he could not help but tremble slightly. However, the trembling of his right hand gave him an idea.
Xu Zhe grabbed the head of the pole with his left hand, held the tail of the pole with his right hand as hard as he could, raised his legs, and slammed the pole against his legs, breaking it!
Then he held half of the pole in his left hand and the other half in his right hand. The cut surface was covered with wood splinters.
"Come on!" Xu Zhe yelled at the remaining two.
At this time, Shen Lan also dialed 110, picked up the phone and said: "Hello, is this the police? There is a robbery here, the address is..."
The two high school students looked at each other, swallowed, turned around and ran away.
He didn't even care about his companion who was hit in a vital part.
Xu Zhe sneered, "That's it? Idiot."
He looked at the guy lying on the ground gasping for breath again, thought for a while, and still didn't drop the half-stick in his hands. He just sat on the chair next to him, breathing slowly, and letting his emotions gradually calm down.
Shen Lan couldn't be as calm as him.
After calling the police, the girl put away her phone, walked to Xu Zhe, looked down, and couldn't help covering her mouth: "Your hand..."
He looked down and saw a noticeable bruise on the back of his right hand.
Shen Lan held up his right hand with both hands and said in a trembling voice: "Do you want to go to the hospital?"
"That's for later," Xu Zhe reminded, "Call your dad first and ask him to come back soon. Also, I have the number of the Dean of Studies, Mr. Wang, so you can call him, too."
Hearing the words "Dean Wang", the high school student lying on the ground tensed up and seemed to want to get up and run away. However, the lingering pain in his lower abdomen kept him where he was.
Xu Zhe noticed his reaction and jokingly said, "Teacher Wang's deterrent power is stronger than the police? Haha..."
Then he drew his hand back.
Shen Lan's hands were very gentle, but Xu Zhe was not used to having someone half-kneel in front of him and holding his hands.
He said to the girl: "Go check the cash register, they should have robbed some money..."
Shen Lan: "It's just change!"
Xu Zhe smiled and said, "I know it's small change. I just want you to see the traces of their destruction and what they did so that you can tell the police later. By the way, are there any surveillance cameras here?"
Shen Lan shook her head.
Xu Zhe couldn't help but sigh. It's not like ten years later. Whether it's on the street or in various indoor environments, there are not many places that can be filmed. But this way, the evidence seems to be much less.
He thought that this should be considered as legitimate self-defense... But then he thought again, he was a 13-year-old junior high school student, and the person in front of him was an older high school student. Even if there was something wrong, wasn't there a law to protect minors?
You shouldn't suffer any loss.
Shen Lan suddenly asked in a low voice: "Why are you like this?"
Xu Zhe: "Why would that happen? Help you? Isn't that normal? Are you going to watch you get beaten by them?"
Shen Lan shook her head: "I don't understand, why are you so... so calm?"
What the girl couldn't understand was why Xu Zhe could knock down one and scare away the other two. Even though the opponent was a high school student who was obviously stronger than him, he showed a breathtaking courage. And after the situation stabilized, his expression showed that he was not overwhelmed by emotions and could still return to a calm and natural state.
What Xu Zhe was thinking about at this moment was the tour group bus on the mountain road when he was just reborn. Compared with the disaster that was avoided, what was the significance of the current incident?
But he was too lazy to waste time talking, so he answered with the simplest sentence: "Because I'm a genius."
Shen Lan was still half-kneeling in front of him, looking up at him blankly.
After a few seconds of silence, Xu Zhe said with a smile: "Wake up, what are you daydreaming about?"
"Oh... oh, good."
Shen Lan sat down on the chair next to him, but she felt her heart beating unusually fast. For the first time in her life, she actually felt that her performance was so clumsy.

Chapter 67 067 First Love
2023-09-06
Xu Guowei and Zeng Jing jumped out of the taxi and ran straight to the hospital's emergency department.
The couple received a call from the police not long ago, informing them that their son was involved in a gang robbery and was injured and went to the hospital. This was really scary.
But when the two of them rushed to the emergency department, they saw Xu Zhe standing there intact, chatting with a pretty girl with short hair.
What's the situation?
Xu Guowei stopped a few meters away, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Zeng Jing rushed to her son and stopped, asking anxiously, "What happened to you? Were you beaten?"
Xu Zhe was very calm: "Actually, I beat someone up. The police said it was self-defense. The other party was over 16 years old, and it was a gang robbery—"
"What about you?" Zeng Jing interrupted.
Xu Zhe spread out his left hand: "I have done nothing wrong. It was said that it was self-defense. It was others who broke the law, and I did not cause any trouble. Instead, I was acting bravely for justice."
"I'm not asking you about your legal liability!" Zeng Jing couldn't help but yell, "I'm asking if you're injured?!"
Xu Zhe reacted: "Oh, this is just a minor injury."
As he spoke, he put his right hand, which was behind his back, in front of him so that his mother could see - there was a very obvious bruise on the back of his hand, a slightly hideous purple-red color.
Zeng Jing: "What should I do? Didn't the doctor treat you?"
Xu Zhe: "Mom, I know you're anxious, but don't worry. This kind of minor injury doesn't really need any treatment. The doctor gave me some ice packs and told me to apply cold compresses for the next two days. If there's no problem after two days, I can apply hot compresses, and then it will be almost healed."
Zeng Jing stared at him, took several deep breaths, and her eyes were a little red. She also noticed the girl next to her son, but just glanced at her without asking any more questions or saying hello to the girl.
At this time, Xu Guowei also came in front of the boy and girl, cleared his throat, and said, "We heard from the police before we came here. That... they only said that it was a gang robbery. What is going on?"
Xu Zhe was about to speak, but at this moment, Shen Lan next to him took a step forward and bowed solemnly to the parents.
Then the girl stood up and said seriously, "My store was robbed. Three people stole the money from the store. We found out and then a conflict broke out. But among the three people, one was knocked down by Xu Zhe, and the other two were scared away."
Zeng Jing frowned and asked, "Three people? Are they adults?"
Shen Lan: "They are all high school students from our school."
Zeng Jing couldn't help but pay attention to the details in the girl's words. She couldn't help but ask again: "Have you known my son for a long time? Are you from the same school?"
Shen Lan nodded and said respectfully, "He and I both joined Mr. Lu's Mathematical Olympiad team. Although I am two grades higher than Xu Zhe, we are still classmates."
Zeng Jing still had a frown on his face, his eyes fixed on Shen Lan, not knowing what he was thinking.
