Chapter 780 - 780 Off Target
780 Off Target
Lu Shaoyang did not want to change the subject of the compet.i.tion. He did not know how Shen Hanxing knew how to play golf or how she won the previous match, but he was very confident in archery. When he was in university, he joined an archery club. He trained often and had good accuracy. With his outstanding skills, he became the president of the club in his second year. He had led the members to partic.i.p.ate in many private compet.i.tions. More importantly, shooting an arrow was like shooting a golf ball. One had to consider the wind and other external conditions. Other than controlling strength, one also needed good vision and accuracy.
These were easy to say but difficult to do. These were all sports that required systematic learning and high-intensity practice. Even people who had learned them would lose their sense of touch if they didn’t practice for a period of time. Lu Shaoyang did not believe that Shen Hanxing could win this time.
Lu Shaoyang was so excited that he did not notice the subtle change in Shen Hanxing’s expression. It was well known that archery required talent in addition to practice, and she happened to be one of the talented ones. Lu Shaoyang knew so many things, and Shen Hanxing wasn’t confident that she could beat him in every one of them. But how could it be so coincidental that Lu Shaoyang had chosen the two sports that she was best at? It was as if he was deliberately losing to her. As for Ji Yan, Shen Hanxing wasn’t worried at all. She still remembered the calluses on his palms. He was a shooting expert, so how bad could his archery be?
“Young Master Lu, are you sure you want to compete in this?” Shen Hanxing’s eyes were filled with pity as she tried to persuade him. “Mr. Ji and I don’t have any objections. Young Master Lu, you can think about it again. We don’t mind if you change to another one.” She was afraid that Lu Shaoyang would cry on the spot if he lost too badly.
!!
Lu Shaoyang didn’t notice the strange tone in Shen Hanxing’s voice. He thought that she was afraid, so he became excited. “I won’t consider it anymore. Each of us will shoot ten arrows. Let’s compare the accuracy!” He would definitely win this time!
Seeing Lu Shaoyang’s stubbornness, Shen Hanxing didn’t bother to say more. She nodded and said, “Alright, let’s compete then!”
The recreational activities in this farmhouse were well prepared. There was a small shooting range at the back. The group of people walked to the shooting range. As usual, Lu Shaoyang was the first one. He probably really wanted to win. Plus, he was very enthusiastic, so he did a good job and did not miss a single shot.
The person in charge of looking at Lu Shaoyang’s results was full of admiration. He shouted excitedly, “Seventh ring! Eighth ring! Sixth ring… Ninth ring! Tenth ring! Lu Shaoyang’s final score is 82!”
Lu Shaoyang’s last arrow hit the bullseye! It was a small target, but for an amateur, not missing the target was already a good performance. Lu Shaoyang’s level was obviously good, and he did a good job. After it ended, when he heard his own results, he couldn’t help but clench his fists, his face flushed with excitement. He had a good feeling today, and the results this time were better than he had imagined!
The smugness in Lu Shaoyang’s eyes almost materialized. He lifted his chin arrogantly at Shen Hanxing. “Mrs. Ji, please.” This time, he would not give her a chance to go back on her word! He would no longer give in to Shen Hanxing when his interests and dignity were at stake!
Shen Hanxing glanced at Lu Shaoyang casually and picked up her bow. After all, a bow was a cold weapon, and its smooth and sharp lines were eye-catching in contrast to Shen Hanxing’s soft body.
When someone whispered about Shen Hanxing’s beauty, Lu Shaoyang sneered, “What’s the use of a good pose? No matter how good it looks, it won’t add points in the compet.i.tion.” Would the bow and arrow fly to the target obediently just because Shen Hanxing was pretty?
Perhaps Shen Hanxing had heard Lu Shaoyang’s words, but she suddenly turned around to look at him. Then, she quickly turned back and nocked an arrow on her bow. Her movements were swift and skillful, and she looked extremely cool. It was as if she didn’t take the time to aim at all. She raised her hand and shot!
Such a decisive action caused the surrounding crowd to involuntarily gasp!
“Impossible!” Lu Shaoyang widened his eyes and blurted out, “Did you learn archery?” His words meant that he was admitting that he had picked something that Shen Hanxing did not know how to do for the compet.i.tion!
Even though some people had guessed Lu Shaoyang’s thoughts, they could not help but frown when they heard his words. But Lu Shaoyang could not care about that anymore. His heart was beating very fast, and he had a bad feeling. He looked at the target eagerly. He was really scared by the golf game before, and he could not lose this round, so he was particularly concerned about it! But when he saw the target, he almost laughed out loud! The target was empty, not even the shadow of an arrow could be seen!
