X-ray Eyes Little Wild Doctor-Chapter 191 - 186: First Arrival at the Shooting Range

At this time, department head Zhang also disembarked from the car in a rage and immediately saw that it was Ye Tian in the driver’s seat. Recalling the bullying along the way, he felt angry.

"Can’t you drive properly? If not, don’t drive at all. Didn’t you hear me honking continuously from behind?" department head Zhang glared at Ye Tian angrily.

"Sorry, I didn’t hear you," Ye Tian shrugged his shoulders and then added, "Even if I had heard, I wouldn’t have given way to you. Sue me if you want, I really don’t care."

Ye Tian’s words infuriated department head Zhang, who gritted his teeth in anger, but due to Bai Lan being there, he had to maintain a cultured image, so it was not appropriate for him to physically reprimand Ye Tian.

At this moment, the young man wearing an Omega brand watch walked over, followed by a group of well-dressed young men and women, obviously the leader of this group.

Omega glanced at Zhang Ye who was visibly upset and asked, "Isn’t that Zhang Ye? What’s the matter? You look really heated up."

Zhang Ye immediately approached, saying softly, "You don’t know, Xie, this guy cut me off the whole way. If it wasn’t for him driving Bai Lan’s car, I would have really crashed into him."

"You say he was driving Bai Lan’s car?" Xie Huadong was immediately moved.

He couldn’t help but size up Ye Tian and seeing that he was unremarkable and wore no brand name apparel, thought to himself that this man shouldn’t be anyone significant. Bai Lan, known for her high standards, had even spurned his own advances; how could she fancy this nobody? He might be overthinking it.

"Come on, let’s go and see," Xie Huadong called to department head Zhang, who immediately followed.

Upon approaching Bai Lan, the young Xie Huadong flashed a brilliant smile and said, "Old classmate, long time no see, you’re getting more and more beautiful."

Bai Lan, who was talking to Ye Tian, turned around and immediately recognized Xie Huadong, saying, "You have become quite famous too. I heard you’re working in the provincial city now, congratulations to you."

Xie Huadong said casually, "It’s nothing, just messing around. I’m just a minor official at the Land Bureau, barely scraping by."

He spoke in a breezy tone, but everyone present could detect the arrogance; being in the provincial city alone put him a notch above Jiang City, not to mention having a cushy job at the Land Bureau and being a department head at his young age. His status was definitely extraordinary.

"That’s nice," Bai Lan responded politely before continuing her conversation with Ye Tian.

Xie Huadong felt slightly displeased, coughed dryly, and walked up to Ye Tian, saying, "Hello, I am Xie Huadong."

"Oh," Ye Tian shook his hand.

"Here is my business card," Xie Huadong handed over a gold-embossed card to Ye Tian, who looked at the title on it and read out loud, "Director of the Bureau of Land and Resources, Xie Huadong."

Xie Huadong, with a proud smile, asked, "If you ever come to the provincial city and need anything, you can contact me. Which department do you work in, brother?"

Bai Lan knew Xie Huadong, despite appearing respectable, often looked down on others. Just as she was about to lie for Ye Tian, maybe call him some department head in a corporation, the ever-talkative Zhang Ye spoke up.

"He’s just a junior security guard," Zhang Ye said.

Bai Lan frowned.

Ye Tian replied, "I am a security guard, not a ’junior’ security guard. Please mind your words."

Xie Huadong immediately showed a look of contempt, barely glancing at Ye Tian again, and turned to Bai Lan, saying, "So many years have passed, and A-Lan, you are still so beautiful. Could you do me the honor of sitting over there with me?"

Bai Lan had never been fond of him since their school days, and although she was politely invited, it was not a good time to refuse as she was figuring out how to excuse herself, Ye Tian suddenly stepped forward and spoke.

"Sorry, our Lanlan is not available."

Ye Tian said this and then boldly took Bai Lan’s hand, swaggering towards the bench.

Xie Huadong, feeling slighted, strode over to block Ye Tian’s path, frowning as he asked, "A-Lan hasn’t said she doesn’t agree, what right do you have to speak here? What’s your relationship with her?"

With a reckless smile, Ye Tian didn’t directly answer but instead wrapped his arms around Bai Lan’s slender waist and kissed her right there.

After a classic French kiss, Ye Tian, ignoring Bai Lan’s wide eyes, casually said, "She is my girlfriend, and I am her boyfriend; that’s our relationship."

With that, Ye Tian sat down with Bai Lan on the nearby bench.

Xie Huadong and Zhang Ye were seething; Bai Lan had been the beauty of their class and the recognized campus beauty. Having both fruitlessly pursued Bai Lan back then, they felt disgruntled. Using their respective resources, they moved up three levels in just a few years from minor positions to become department heads. They specifically arranged this archery event to win over Bai Lan, not expecting that she would have a boyfriend.

"Who is this guy popping out of nowhere? Should we look into his background?" Zhang Ye suggested.

With an unchanged expression, Xie Huadong replied coolly, "There’s no need for such fuss. I don’t think Bai Lan truly likes him. Sooner or later, she’ll grow tired of this penniless, powerless guy. Remember to include him in the archery later; let him have a taste then."

"As expected of someone from the provincial department; that’s a clever move!" Zhang Ye chuckled.

Meanwhile, on a bench on the grass.

Bai Lan pinched Ye Tian’s shoulder hard and scolded, "Who let you kiss me, you hooligan!"

"Are you mad? Isn’t it okay if I admit I was wrong?" Ye Tian said with a grin, clearly without any genuine intention to apologize.

"A kiss is still a kiss, but who asked you to stick your tongue in!" Bai Lan pounded on his shoulder fiercely, but to Xie Huadong watching from a distance, this clearly looked like flirtatious bickering that only made him feel even more jealous toward Ye Tian.

"Alright, it’s all my fault, so can I start over?"

Ye Tian did not hesitate, pulling Bai Lan tightly into his embrace and kissed her passionately. His lips had not yet touched hers when she pushed him away and scolded, "Hooligan!"

"What do you mean, hooligan? Brother is legitimately your boyfriend today, okay?" Ye Tian said.

"Dream on!" Bai Lan gave him a dismissive glance.

"Oh come on, now you have regrets. When I was helping you just now, why didn’t you say anything?" Ye Tian snorted, "So ungrateful."

At that moment, a burly young man came over, greeted Bai Lan warmly, and then came up to Ye Tian to introduce himself enthusiastically.

"Hello Ye Tian, my name is Fang Dali. I am Bai Lan’s classmate," said the well-built Fang Dali, extending his hand.

With keen senses, Ye Tian gave a casual smile and glanced at Xie Huadong and Zhang Ye, who were watching from a distance, knowing that these two had deliberately sent Fang Dali to cause trouble.

"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you."

Ye Tian shook hands with Fang Dali and immediately felt a strong pressure being exerted. Despite the noticeable effort, Fang Dali maintained an innocuous expression, clearly wanting to embarrass him in front of Bai Lan.

"Where do you work, Mr. Fang? With such a robust build, you couldn’t possibly be a security guard, could you?" Ye Tian remarked offhandedly while secretly applying force in his grip. Suddenly, he tightened his fingers, and Fang Dali’s finger joints instantly felt an intense pressure, cracking audibly, almost to the point of breaking.

"Ouch! Let go, let go! It hurts so much! So painful!"

Fang Dali was no match for Ye Tian, who had barely exerted any strength, yet it caused him almost to cry in pain.

With a mischievous smile, Ye Tian followed up, saying, "Mr. Fang, what’s wrong with you? Why are you kneeling? It’s just a handshake, isn’t it? You don’t need to be this dramatic. It’s not even New Year’s or a holiday, so I can’t give you any lucky money."

The pressure of his grip grew stronger, and his fingers, like iron tongs, made Fang Dali cry in pain, immediately forcing him to his knees, sobbing and sniffling so comically.

Finally, Ye Tian released Fang Dali’s hand. The latter sighed in relief, incessantly waving his hand and sucking in cold air because of the pain.

Ye Tian glanced at Xie Huadong and others in the distance, expressionless, and shrugged his shoulders.

Xie Huadong and Zhang Ye frowned simultaneously, thinking that Fang Dali, this fool, couldn’t even handle such a minor task, really was useless.

"Security guards generally have strong physiques, so it’s normal for Fang Dali to be at a disadvantage," Zhang Ye explained and suggested, "Let’s wait until we go to the archery range to teach this Ye Tian a lesson."

"Indeed, he’ll get what’s coming to him," Xie Huadong said.

At that moment, an archery range staff member came over. Xie Huadong checked the time and nodded, saying, "We can start the game now."

The range staff member seemed to know Xie Huadong and showed him extra respect, repeatedly addressing him as Director Xie, which he greatly enjoyed.

"Xiao Zhang, not to brag, but this plot of land was approved by us. Without me granting their boss the permit, they wouldn’t have been able to build this range," Xie Huadong said proudly.

Soon, the staff led everyone into the range, located next to a shop selling various stylish bows and arrows. Everybody selected their archery equipment in the shop.

Since it was her first time doing archery, Bai Lan, unable to resist her curiosity, chose a small, exquisitely designed woman’s bow and arrow and slung the quiver over her shoulder, walking over to have Ye Tian admire it.

"As long as you’re happy, whatever," Ye Tian said indifferently.

"Aren’t you going to play?" Bai Lan asked.

Ye Tian sat on a bench, sipping soda, and shook his head, "No, it’s boring."

Bai Lan did not insist. She went into the range with her female classmate and began shooting arrows haphazardly. At a distance of 20 meters, they rarely hit the bullseye.

Although they hardly ever hit the target, Bai Lan was not upset; she was out to have fun, not to take it too seriously. Suddenly, a cheer of surprise came from the girls nearby. Many people were gathered around Xie Huadong, incessantly cheering him on.

Glancing over, Bai Lan noticed that the distant target was bristling with arrows, and they were close to the bullseye. One arrow had even hit the center. Only then did Bai Lan realize that Xie Huadong turned out to be an expert archer.

Amidst the cheers of her friends, Xie Huadong approached Bai Lan and said, "Archery is a good form of exercise, a scientific and effective way to enhance the strength of your shoulders, waist, and arms, and it also tests a person’s willpower."

As he laid down his bow and arrow, he began instructing Bai Lan, "When shooting, your feet should be apart, chest out, head up, and eyes forward. Your posture is not quite right, let me show you how."
