Chapter 271: Chapter 271: You… Can’t… Do It?!
Bo Tingshen looked at the young man who just moments ago couldn’t be beaten, now as pitiful as a small animal that had been bullied, and released his grip. “Where’s Pang Kai?”
Ye Xian rubbed her sore wrist. You finally remembered him!
“Assistant Pang said there’s an urgent case at the company that he needs to deal with. He’ll be back shortly. CEO, why don’t I head back first, and you wait for him here for a bit?”
Ye Xian asked, then felt that the atmosphere was a bit off…
“As an exemplary employee, how can I let you, the CEO, wait here alone? Of course, I’ll stay with you! CEO, shall we go get something to eat?”
“You’re hungry again?”
The use of the word ‘again’ was quite telling; Ye Xian even questioned herself—had she eaten something already?
“Then, shall we get some exercise? I see there’s a sports field nearby.”
“Let’s not, there’s a bowling alley ahead.”
“Bowling?” Ye Xian hesitated.
“What, you don’t know how?”
“Mhm, mhm!”
Ye Xian nodded honestly.
Bo Tingshen: “What do you know?”
Ye Xian, who had studied micro-expressions and tones for years, recognized immediately that his question wasn’t one of curiosity, but of disdain.
“It’s pretty normal I don’t know bowling, bowling bowling, as the name suggests, it’s something middle-aged and old people enjoy. A young guy like me…”
Ye Xian stopped mid-sentence, as Bo Tingshen turned to look at her. She changed tack, “I can’t because I’m not skillful!” Bah, domineering ghost, it’s clear it’s because he’s old! Only old people play bowling!
Once they arrived at the bowling alley, the waiter came over holding two hard rubber balls.
The way to play bowling was in some aspects simple yet in others difficult.
Ye Xian: “…” My face hurts today.
The waiter reset the pins and offered another rubber ball.
Bo Tingshen turned and tossed it to her; Ye Xian caught it with a start, “What’s the matter, CEO?”
“Come and give it a try.”
“Maybe not, I don’t know how—”
Bo Tingshen gestured towards the release point, “You can’t do it?”
You… can’t… do it?! How can a man be told he can’t do it!
She was already seen as a weakling in his eyes, it was just a simple game of bowling, she couldn’t be seen as a letdown!
Ye Xian: “Of course I can!”
She mimicked the way he had held the ball, stood before the foul line, and eyed the pins some ten meters away. So many of them, she should manage to knock over one or two, right? It would be super embarrassing if she didn’t knock any over or if the ball veered off course before reaching the end…
