Chapter 480: Chapter 454: It’s Not Easy
In Yu Minglang’s dictionary, the word “cowardice” does not exist.
When Wang Yafei scored a perfect game, Yu Minglang just smiled slightly, then stepped back, further back, and even more back…
“Hey! What are you doing standing so far away!”
The stall owner exclaimed in shock.
Was he trying to take the gun with him after winning their biggest doll?
“I’m here, what are you afraid of?” Xiao Qian spoke, watching Yu Minglang’s every move closely.
“But from such a far distance, it’s impossible to aim accurately. This toy gun can only shoot a few meters at most.” The stall owner knew his own guns best. They were all toy guns with tampered aiming, and when the shooting range was exceeded, added with factors like wind speed, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven to hit the target.
“Whether he can aim accurately or not is his own concern. You just watch.”
After Xiao Qian finished speaking, she looked at Yu Minglang.
Wang Yafei and others also wore surprised expressions while one of them couldn’t help exclaiming.
“How could it possibly hit the target?”
Although Yu Minglang’s performance just now was extraordinary, he should still be unable to complete such an impossible task, right?
After retreating to a certain distance, Yu Minglang started shooting rapidly. As one balloon after another burst, Wang Yafei and others were dumbfounded.
Can someone really hit the target every time with a tampered toy gun at such an impossible distance?
Yu Minglang was not shooting sequentially.
It seemed that he aimed at the top for the first shot, while the next shot might hit the middle. At first, Wang Yafei’s group thought that Yu Minglang randomly hit the target by coincidence. But as more and more balloons were shot down, the crowd fell silent.
Xiao Qian laughed.
He shot the word “beautiful.”
He fired one shot after another, and in the end, he even closed his eyes to shoot. The distance, wind speed, bullets, and each balloon’s position were all in his mind. A real sniper does not rely on his eyes to complete the shooting.
When Yu Minglang had fired his last shot, only the left upper corner of the word “beautiful” was missing. Yu Minglang walked to the stall, picked up a small stone from the ground, and threw it towards the missing corner. There, his nickname for Xiao Qian was written in full.
Yu Minglang put down his gun and looked at Xiao Qian.
Qian Bao, you are the most beautiful!
Xiao Qian gave him a thumbs-up, “You’re still the best, too.”
As the two were feeding each other praises, Wang Yafei was already speechless in his heart.
He was holding his breath just now.
But after Yu Minglang used the most arrogant way to write the nickname for Xiao Qian, Wang Yafei felt like his face was hit by an invisible slap.
The two must be reveling in their victory, and he might continue to mock him more…
Even Xiao Qian thought that Yu Minglang would make a thumbs-down gesture or wiggle his index finger to show his contempt for Wang Yafei’s middle finger just now.
However, he didn’t. After shooting, Yu Minglang only stretched his hand out to the boss without even looking at Wang Yafei. The boss felt like crying.
“There are only two big ones left, one for each of you. Can you guys pick two smaller ones instead?”
Where on earth did they come from to ruin the stall? The stall’s prized possession was gone.
Yu Minglang looked at Xiao Qian, who unceremoniously pointed at the two dolls on the stall. With tears in his heart, the stall owner gave them to Xiao Qian, gesturing the couple to get lost!
Xiao Qian, holding the two small dolls, and Yu Minglang, holding the big one, walked away as if nothing had happened.
“Why!” Wang Yafei asked, staring at Yu Minglang’s disappearing back.
Yu Minglang stopped, turned around, and looked at the young man whose spirit he had severely crushed.
“There’s no why. Where I come from, the three words ‘for what reason’ don’t need to be asked.”
The workplace is cruel; don’t ask why, and no one looks for excuses.
“But just now, from that distance, you should have missed. How did you…”
“You are thinking about how to hit the target and what if you don’t hit the target. But when I pick up the gun, all I have in my mind is the goal. Shooting practice will teach you wind speed, aiming, and even training your muscles to memorize the gun’s movement, but none of this matters to me. No matter how difficult it is, I only think about completing the task. You are excellent, but your excellence has already covered up your original intention.”
Yu Minglang finished speaking and left with Xiao Qian’s hand in his, leaving Wang Yafei still standing there. Wang Yafei watched Yu Minglang leave in silence.
“Yafei, don’t take it to heart. We can’t compete with them. You only lost because you had been drinking. If you hadn’t drunk, you wouldn’t be worse than him.”
The man who came with Wang Yafei tried to comfort him.
However, Wang Yafei shook his head listlessly.
No, it wasn’t the same.
He didn’t want to deceive himself. That man had the right to be arrogant.
How did Yu Minglang, standing in that position and holding a toy gun with a problem in aiming, manage to shoot so accurately?
The word “beautiful” was left on the board, but at this moment, Wang Yafei’s mood felt distant from beauty.
Did he hate something wrongly…
As they walked quite far away, Xiao Qian saw a stall where a mother was selling goods with her child. The child was staring at the dolls in her arms with hopeful eyes.
Xiao Qian walked over and gave the two smaller dolls to the child.
Facing Yu Minglang’s teasing eyes when she came back, she tried to cover up her true feelings by explaining.
“I just don’t like them, so I gave them to him.”
Yu Minglang touched her hair and looked at her indulgently, “Just keep up your tough act.”
His Xiao Mei was the cutest, being hard on others, but with a soft heart.
“Yu Xiaoqiang, you actually like Wang Yafei very much, don’t you?” Xiao Qian, discontented with Yu Minglang seeing through her, tried to retaliate.
“I only like you,” Yu Minglang joked.
“Haha… if you didn’t like him, why did you say so much to him?”
“No matter how much I say, it’s useless if he doesn’t understand it himself.”
Yu Minglang’s gaze passed Xiao Qian and rested on a spot behind her.
The child who had received Xiao Qian’s dolls just now came running back under the instruction of his mother, holding a grilled squid in his hand.
He shyly handed it over to Xiao Qian, thanked her quietly, and then ran away again.
Xiao Qian watched the child leave with a slight smile at the corner of her mouth.
“His mother is a good person, knowing that the best gift to give her child isn’t money or material but a grateful heart. Educating a child is really not easy.”
Yu Minglang praised, only to find Xiao Qian looking at him with a half-smile.
