Jiang Yekuo woke up to find that he had slept with his employer's son, Ye Qi.
His employer found out soon enough, and Jiang Yekuo thought he was going to die! After all, all he'd been asked to do was reignite Ye Qi's passion for billiards.
But... nobody said they'd end up in bed together!
Jiang Yekuo irritably ruffled his hair. "I'm straighter than a pool cue!"
To his surprise, his employer just handed him a stack of contracts, arranged to sponsor his studies abroad so he could learn snooker properly as agreed, and left.
Jiang Yekuo: What I'm owed is mine, but shouldn't I at least get some compensation for emotional distress?!
The next day, Jiang Yekuo left. He didn't see Ye Qi again until they met at a World Snooker Tour event.
In the training room, Ye Qi stood at the door and said to him, "Jiang, long time no see. I hope you've improved a bit over the last three years. Otherwise, that deal of yours would have been for nothing."
Jiang Yekuo: How am I running into my "ex" at a tour event...
But his mouth was quicker than his brain, and he reflexively said, "Haha, you too."
Ye Qi: ? Was that supposed to be a taunt?
Jiang Yekuo got nervous during the match and lost several points in a row. For some reason, Ye Qi got furious, slammed his cue onto the table, and stormed off.
Jiang Yekuo had just left the venue when Ye Qi suddenly appeared, grabbed his hand, and dragged him into a training room, pinning him against the wall.
Ye Qi: "You went to all that trouble to get close to me, and in the end you even slept with me... all for snooker. But this is all you've got to show for it?"
Jiang Yekuo: "...Dude! You're the one who slept with me. Sure, I was at fault too, but what are you upset about? If anyone should be upset, it's me!"
Ye Qi grabbed Jiang Yekuo by the collar and shouted, "I got into snooker for you! And this is what you have to show me?"
Jiang Yekuo: ?
"If you think I'm playing badly, then teach me."
Ye Qi: What a hopelessly dense man!
"Fine! Then come live with me. I'll teach you how to play properly."
Jiang Yekuo: ??? Wait, are you sure this is legit coaching?!
I'm straight! I have to be straight
