The club that Cheng Ruitong brought them to was close to an amusement park. She was clearly a regular here. As soon as she walked in, a well-dressed man greeted her warmly and asked what she wanted to do today.
Cheng Ruitong nodded before she said, “There’s no need to call anyone today.”
Usually, when Cheng Ruitong came, someone would be at her beck and call. Sometimes, the other person would even accompany her to experience the thrill of racing. There was a specially approved racing track on the winding mountain road behind the club. Safety measures were naturally taken.
The two women went to the archery range first.
Lin Xiaowan only tried archery once. After the first time, she no longer had any contact with it. She had forgotten everything she had learned.
“Have you forgotten the movements I taught you?” Cheng Ruitong asked, patting Lin Xiaowan’s shoulder.
After that, Cheng Ruitong patiently taught Lin Xiaowan the correct posture, how to exert her strength, and how to aim at the target. Although she was expressionless, her tone was kind.
With Cheng Ruitong’s guidance, Lin Xiaowan pulled her hand back and released the arrow. With a swoosh, it hit the target. Although it was mostly due to Cheng Ruitong’s help, she was still delighted and proud. After all, it was her first time hitting the target.
“Wow! This is amazing!”
It was unknown if she was praising others or herself.
Cheng Ruitong let go of Lin Xiaowan and said, “Try it yourself.”
Lin Xiaowan adjusted her posture again and took aim. With a swoosh, the arrow was released. After a short while, it fell to the ground weakly. Without Cheng Ruitong’s help, the arrow she shot could not even touch the target.
Lin Xiaowan puffed her cheeks up and said, “There must be a problem with the arrow. I did everything correctly.”
Everything was done perfectly, and yet, she still could not touch the target. The problem must be with the arrow, not her.
Cheng Ruitong could not hide her smile at all. “Well, let’s try again. The arrow earlier has a problem…”
The arrows were all mass-produced. How could there be anything wrong with them? Moreover, many people had used them without complaints. Cheng Ruitong’s words were nothing more than to coax Lin Xiaowan.
Lin Xiaowan was also easy to coax. With just a few words, she would be happy.
After that, Lin Xiaowan fired a few shots consecutively but still failed to touch the target.
Before Lin Xiaowan could say anything, Cheng Ruitong said expressionlessly, “It’s the arrow’s fault. They’re too light.”
When Lin Xiaowan’s arrow finally touched the target, Cheng Ruitong said with a straight face, “Xiaowan, you’re progressing very quickly. Other people have to come a few times before they can even hit the target.”
Lin Xiaowan felt satisfied with her progress today and pestered Cheng Ruitong to play a few more rounds.
The venue was cold and quiet, but at this time, a few people came in, making the place livelier. They were all young people, and based on their conversation, it seemed like they were here to complete and place bets.
There was an electronic board at the side that displayed the time of the match and the players’ scores.
Lin Xiaowan had seen one of the people who came in before on the Internet. He was a wealthy young master and was famous for being a womanizer. He was not a celebrity, but he had a lot of followers online. It was rumored that he had an affair with all the women around him. In short, she did not have a good impression of the other party.
The other party’s hair was dyed golden brown and carefully styled. He wore a gaudy flower shirt and left a few of his buttons unbuttoned, exposing his tan chest.
Lin Xiaowan hurriedly looked away after a moment.
A few of them knew Cheng Ruitong so they came over to greet her respectfully.
Cheng Ruitong was not enthusiastic. She nodded in response but did not say much.
The womanizing young master, a son of a real estate tycoon, recognized Lin Xiaowan. He was also present at the Bai family’s birthday party. He could not help but ask Cheng Ruitong, “She’s from the Huo family, right?”
Seeing that the other party recognized her, Lin Xiaowan thought to herself, ‘How did 1 get recognized and remembered by such a playboy? How terrifying!’
Cheng Ruitong did not answer the other party. Instead, she asked, “What are you competing in?”
Another young man scratched his head and laughed. “It’s nothing. We’re going to compete in archery. Sister Cheng, do you want to join us?”
Seeing the curiosity in Lin Xiaowan’s wide eyes, Cheng Ruitong asked, “What’s the prize?”
The young man pointed outside and said, “A new car. There are only twenty models in the world. My brother just got them for me.”
Lin Xiaowan was astonished when she heard this. She took another glance at the handsome young man.
The car was a limited-edition car. Even if he did not mention the brand or model, it was obvious that it was expensive. However, he casually used it as a prize. It was as though it was not a real car but a toy car.
The young man saw Lin Xiaowan sizing him up, and he responded with a smile. Then, he looked at Cheng Ruitong and asked hopefully, “Sister Cheng, do you want to join us? Let’s race. It’s been a while since I’ve played with you, Sister Cheng.”
Cheng Ruitong came with Lin Xiaowan today. She was not sure if Lin Xiaowan would be interested in this so she politely declined the other party.
Lin Xiaowan did not play anymore. She sat and watched the others draw the bowstring and shoot the arrows with relish. She still remembered the first time she saw Cheng Ruitong; Cheng Ruitong stood expressionlessly, hitting bullseyes over and over again as though she had a grudge against the target.
Lin Xiaowan said, filled with praise, “Sister Cheng, I don’t think they’re as good as you.”
Cheng Ruitong only smiled in response.
After a while, Lin Xiaowan wondered if Huo Zheng knew these things. He had a good figure, with broad shoulders and long legs. If he stood there in his suit with a bow and arrow, he would definitely be 800 times more good-looking than this group of people. After a moment, she furtively studied the group of people and found that only the son of the real estate tycoon had a slightly better figure. Needless to say, the other party still could not compare to Huo Zheng.
When Lin Xiaowan returned, she immediately ‘reported’ everything that happened while she was out. Then, she asked brightly, “Do you know archery as well?”
Needless to say, Huo Zheng knew archery. He said, “Next time, let’s go together.”
Then, he asked, “Why were you looking at a shirtless man?”
Lin Xiaowan was speechless.
“What are you talking about? Who was shirtless? He wore a Hawaiian shirt with big flowers, and he just didn’t button his buttons properly.”
Huo Zheng’s expression remained indifferent, but his words were rather unreasonable. “In any case, you’re not allowed to look.”
Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes. “The place isn’t very big, and he was just standing there. It’s hard not to look at him.”
Then, Lin Xiaowan poked him before she continued to say, “President Huo, you’re really unreasonable.”
President Huo, who was unreasonable, only hummed in acquiescence..
