Bang!

A muffled sound rang out as the air gun fired and everyone’s attention focused on the target, where all ten balloons remained intact.

“Su Xuan, you were really right, he actually didn’t hit any of them,” Chen Wanqing cheered excitedly.

Gao Tian’s gloomy expression flickered and vanished, immediately resuming his normal demeanor as he pretended to be relaxed, “Missing the first shot doesn’t count at all, I was just testing the performance of this gun, I can hit all the remaining targets.”

“It seems like that’s really the case since each firearm has different performance, and the standards for air rifles are not strict, so it’s normal to test their performance.

That’s how I learned in the army,” said a man who looked like a veteran.

“Wow, Gao Tian, I didn’t expect you to be so professional, truly worthy of almost being selected for the national team.” Although Xiaolan said this, her eyes were still fixed on the Barbie doll.

Gao Tian looked affectionately at the sporty beauty in front of him, his face full of emotion: “I’m usually very low-key, Xiaolan, do you know?

I only want to show my best side in front of you.”

“I know, I know, just shoot already,” Xiaolan’s attention was completely on the doll.

A flicker of annoyance crossed Gao Tian’s face.

He had been chasing Xiaolan for a long time, and she had always been lukewarm towards him.

Finally, he had managed to ask her out, and on top of that, there was her insensitive best friend, the third wheel.

He was hoping to take this opportunity to show off.

“Watch closely, this time I will definitely hit.”

Gao Tian roared, adjusted his breathing, and aimed at the target once again, learning from his previous mistake.

“Su Xuan, do you think he can hit it this time?” Chen Wanqing asked.

“This time he will, but he’s completely guessing.

He hit the top left target, but he aimed at the middle balloon,” Su Xuan glanced and made his judgment.

“Idiot pretending to understand, I will definitely hit the middle balloon this time,” Gao Tian said with a face full of scorn as he pulled the trigger again.

Bang, pop!

The sound of the air gun firing and the balloon bursting almost coincided, prompting everyone to look towards the shooting target, and then their gazes all gathered on Su Xuan.

The burst balloon was indeed the one in the top left corner.

“Su Xuan, you’re really amazing, how did you know he was going to hit that one?” Chen Wanqing was as if she had discovered a new world; the shocks Su Xuan gave her were just too many.

Even Xiaolan and another girl by Gao Tian’s side looked at Su Xuan in astonishment.

“From the way he holds the gun, I can tell which one he’s going to shoot,” Su Xuan said as if it were obvious.

Gao Tian frantically grabbed his hair and yelled, “You’re guessing, you’re definitely just guessing.”

Su Xuan, too lazy to bother, stood to the side with Chen Wanqing in his arms, yawning comfortably: “Honey, don’t worry.

With this guy’s level of performance, at best he can hit six.

You don’t have to worry.”

“Impossible.” Gao Tian wanted to show off, but all the attention had been stolen by Su Xuan, and he felt embarrassed: “Then do you dare predict whether I can hit the targets this time or not?”

“I don’t have the time to bother with you; I still have to accompany my wife.” Gao Tian wasn’t a beauty, so Su Xuan didn’t bother watching him continuously.

A sneer crossed Gao Tian’s face: “I think you were definitely guessing just now.

I bet you can’t predict correctly this time.”

“What if I predict correctly?” Su Xuan spoke, feeling someone like that next to him was too annoying.

Gao Tian pondered for a moment and pulled out three hundred-yuan notes from his pocket: “If you predict correctly, these three hundred yuan are yours; if you’re wrong, then you pay me three hundred.”

“No deal.” Su Xuan refused without a second thought: “I’m not interested in such a small amount of money.”

“Then you tell me what we should bet on,” Gao Tian’s forehead veins were nearly bursting.

Su Xuan’s gaze swept over Gao Tian and focused directly on Xiaolan, with a man’s intuition he could tell Gao Tian was interested in the beauty: “If I’m right, you must stop bothering that beauty forever.”

“What are you talking about?

When have I bothered Xiaolan?” Gao Tian tried to deny it.

With an impatient look, Su Xuan said: “Are you a man or not, harassing her and not admitting it, no wonder Xiaolan isn’t interested in you, so are you betting or not?”

His face flushed with anger, Gao Tian accepted the challenge: “I’ll take the bet.

If you lose, you have to stay away from that beauty by your side forever.”

“Impossible.” Su Xuan instantly refused: “I’m not like you; I would never use the woman by my side as a stake in a bet.”

“Pff!” Gao Tian almost spat blood in anger, cursing Su Xuan internally for being despicable.

By saying this, he made himself look like a scumbag.

But words once spoken, like water spilled, can’t be taken back.

Now, if he backed out, he would appear even more shameless.

“So what if you lose?” Gao Tian was not giving up yet.

“Firstly, it’s impossible for me to lose.

But if I did lose, I’d take my wife and leave this place immediately; wherever you are, I definitely won’t show up,” Su Xuan said.

Upon hearing these words, Chen Wanqing looked regretfully at the limited edition Barbie, but when she remembered Su Xuan’s words about never betting with her on the line, her heart was instantly filled with sweetness.

A doll isn’t as important as a good man, and besides, this man has a toy pistol, the kind that girls love to play with as they grow up, Chen Wanqing felt her face flush with heat from the thought that sprang to mind.

It was only when she remembered that no one knew what she was thinking that she was able to calm herself down.

“Alright, I’ll take your bet,” Gao Tian gritted his teeth in agreement.

He figured as long as Su Xuan said he hit the target, he would deliberately miss, thus standing his ground.

“Hey!

Wait a second,” called Xiaolan, the sporty beauty with a vibrant aura about her.

Her white crop top revealed her toned abs, showcasing what could be considered the healthiest and most beautiful female figure, causing Su Xuan’s eyes to helplessly stare.

Gao Tian’s taste in aesthetics was, admittedly, pretty good.

“I want to know why you’re making him leave me as part of the bet,” Xiaolan said, looking at Su Xuan with suspicion.

If it were someone else, perhaps she might think they were interested in her, but Chen Wanqing by her side quashed that idea.

Having learned his lesson on the bus just a while ago, Su Xuan wasn’t about to upset Chen Wanqing again.

With an air of a public intellectual, he said, “It’s simple.

I think he’s such a scumbag, he doesn’t deserve you.”

“Oh.

Well, in that case, you two can continue the competition,” Xiaolan said, a trace of disappointment passing through her without cause; in reality, Su Xuan had just voiced her own thoughts.

To outsiders, Gao Tian seemed like a catch in many ways, but Xiaolan knew that this man’s biggest flaw was his duplicity, his hypocritical nature, and his tendency to put on a facade.

“Xiaolan certainly won’t listen to you,” Gao Tian said, glancing back and throwing a challenging look at Su Xuan, “Tell me, do you think I’ll hit it this time?”

“The moment you pull the trigger, that’s when I’ll tell you.

If I say it in advance, you’ll just intentionally miss,” Su Xuan saw right through Gao Tian’s plan.

Gao Tian could only fume in silence, but then a thought struck him.

Holding the gun, he didn’t even know if he could hit the target; he was sure this guy was just guessing.

Thinking this, he calmed down and aimed at the center balloon again.

The moment he pulled the trigger, Su Xuan suddenly spoke out, “You’ll miss.”

Bang—the sound of the gunshot filled the air, but the balloon on the target remained intact.

“Amazing, truly amazing,” the crowd praised, their enthusiastic gazes all turning to Su Xuan.

“You’ve already lost, now honor your promise,” Su Xuan said, neither warmly nor unkindly.

Gao Tian trembled all over, unable to accept what was happening before him, yet he still managed to force out a statement with a thick face, “No way.

You have to guess all of my shots correctly to win.

Guessing once doesn’t count.”

“Shameless, I’ve never met anyone so shameless.”

“How despicable, the handsome guy was right, a man like him really doesn’t deserve that girl.”

“What kind of man is that?

His word is as good as a fart.”

…

The surrounding crowd began to berate Gao Tian, and even Xiaolan, who had come with him, felt embarrassed by the association, inwardly relieved that she had made the right choice in not accepting Gao Tian’s advances.

“Fine, I agree.

Keep shooting,” Su Xuan said unperturbed.

“You said it yourself,” Gao Tian, unwilling to give up, continued to pull the trigger repeatedly.

“Hit!”

“Hit!”

“Miss!”

…

In the following shots, Su Xuan guessed without a doubt, all of them correctly.

After ten shots, Gao Tian was completely sapped of strength, not from physical fatigue, but because his confidence had been utterly shattered.

“That’s enough, now you can get lost.

It’s my turn to shoot,” Su Xuan took over the air gun from Gao Tian’s hands.

“Impossible, it simply can’t be, with my skill, there’s no way I could miss.

There must be something wrong with this gun,” Gao Tian shrieked hysterically, unwilling to believe what had just happened.

“Idiot!” Su Xuan mercilessly taunted, “You, a junk athlete accustomed to using precision equipment, at a distance of ten meters, even a pig could hit the target.

With a gun like this, with its shaky aim and drifting bullets, it’s no wonder you couldn’t hit anything.”

Everyone understands the principle of aligning three points in a straight line.

At a distance of ten meters, there’s no arc to speak of.

If everyone used precision devices, these shooting stalls would have closed down long ago.

It could be said that the more professionally trained a person is, the less likely they are to hit the target.

“Humph, I bet you’re just all talk and you can’t hit the target either,” Gao Tian said venomously.

With a look of disdain, Su Xuan replied, “Don’t think I’m as useless as you.

Not just ten meters, even at twenty meters, I can hit every shot.”

At that moment, Gao Tian seemed to grasp at a lifeline, afraid that Su Xuan would change his mind, he quickly said, “You said it yourself.

Start from twenty meters.

If you’re not perfect, you’re not a man.”

Instantly, all eyes were on Gao Tian, their gazes filled with a single thought—shameless!
