Chapter 57
Cant take it anymore?! Chu Qingchan, lets continue!
Huff huff~ Chu Fengyi, you do have good stamina! But look, Ive already won two consecutive rounds. Following the rule of best of three, Ive already won.
No, lets play 5 rounds with 3 wins!
Why not make it 10 rounds and exhaust me directly? Chu Fengyi, this isnt fair play!
Watching the two sisters shout and play, Xu Lin felt very pleased. When siblings do something together, it easily fosters a bond. Perhaps he could also mediate here in the future.
Another round passed, and Chu Qingchan, before exhausting herself, successfully won three consecutive rounds, ending the match!
Sister is so amazing!
Shaoyao shouted and waved her fleshy little arm, and Xu Lin gently tapped her with his finger.
Both sisters are amazing! Drink some water!
Seeing the cleverness of the little one, Xu Lin couldnt help but smile. But as he looked up, he saw Chu Fengyi striding towards him in an imposing manner. Whats she up to? It has nothing to do with me, but I have a feeling that after the training, Ill be lectured like crazy.
Fanleng, dont you also like to play badminton? Ill play with you for a while.
When Zhang Qingzhen saw everyone off the court, he also looked at Ye Fan Leng. Although his badminton skills were not good, they were decent enough to show off a bit.
No, Ive been discussing business all morning and feel a bit tired. Ill just watch you guys play.
Xiao Shaoyao rested for a while and regained her energy. She looked outside the gate and found many people shooting arrows, and she suddenly became interested.
Brother, I want to play archery.
Jianli, archery is very dangerous.
Ye Fanleng said, and Zhang Qingzhen nodded in agreement, then his eyes lit up with an idea.
Jianli, you cant play, but you can watch us play. Lets go over there and see more clearly.
Really? Brother, lets go there quickly.
Okay.
Xu Lin nodded, glanced at the traditional recurve bow archery field not far away, and suddenly became a little interested.
When he was in college, he played recurve bow with his friends.
I also planned to set up a club, but it failed in the end. However, the system-certified bow and arrow level 1 is here. Although it is not too powerful, it is still somewhat accurate.
As everyone walked over there, Ye Fan Leng suddenly remembered that Teacher Zhang seemed to be very good at playing recurve bows.
Could it be that this guy, at his age, still indulges in activities typically enjoyed by young boys? No wonder Jiang Li didnt like him from the beginning.
Chu Qingchan, how about we compete in this? Chu Fengyi still harboured some resentment and wanted to regain some ground from another angle.
I told you, except for fighting, Im not worse than you in anything else.
Alright, then lets do it!
Bring it on!
Shaoyao, which sister do you think can shoot more accurately?
Hmm~ I feel like its my sister Qingchan.
Fan Leng, do you want some water? Zhang Qingzhen unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to Ye Fan Leng beside him.
No, thank you. Xu Lin, here, have some. Ye Fan Leng handed the water bottle to Xu Lin.
Thank you.
Xu Lin reached out to take it, but the other person let go a bit early, and it fell down. Xu Lin quickly caught the water bottle, but the water without a lid still spilled onto his pants!
Brother, youre leaking!
Sorry sorry!
Ye Fan Leng also reacted immediately. He picked up the sweat towel on the table next to her and wiped it on his pants.
I can just do it myself!
Xu Lin immediately saw the other partys hand reaching towards his trouser leg; his cheeks immediately turned red, and he took the towel. In that instant, his fingers touched the other partys hand, and Ye Fanleng seemed to be shocked by electricity, instantly backing away!
Zhang Qingzhen immediately stood up and was about to go over, but Xu Lin was faster, directly supporting her shoulder.
Thank you. She trembled and said, Xu Lin nodded, reached out his other hand, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her upright.
Zhang Qingzhen, on the side, watched the two who were very close, his eyes turning red. Why isnt it me? Why isnt it me? I should have been faster Tsk!
Mommy, are you okay? Did you fall?
Its okay; Mom is fine. She rubbed Shaoyaos head and held her in her arms.
Mommy and brother both like to rub my head.
Haha, when I was a child, my grandmother liked to rub my head whenever she had the chance. Xu Lin reminisced about his childhood, when his grandmother would often rub his head.
Brother, I want to hear stories from your childhood.
Okay
While they started telling stories, Ye Fanleng couldnt help but touch the shoulder that Xu Lin had just touched, feeling no disgust.
She didnt know when it started, whether it was witnessing her fathers affair or when her stepmother found a lover. At some point, she began to develop an aversion to men.
But this aversion wasnt like in novels, where she would get nervous or fearful at the sight of men; she still had many male friends. It was just that she disliked physical contact; with very familiar and close male friends, even a slight touch would make her feel nauseous. So she had to endure handshakes on many occasions, let alone hugs or other actions.
She used to feel that she could live alone, with her father passing away due to illness and her beloved grandfather, who could also touch her, passing away as well. But now there was another man, or rather a boy, who actually didnt trigger any stress response in her. Even though his fingers touched hers just now, she still felt a slight electric shock-like tingling.
She wondered what the reason was for not feeling that sensation the second time. Glancing sideways at Xu Lins face, she noticed he had blushed earlier and was truly still a boy, deliberately avoiding touching other parts of her body.
Does it mean if there are no impure thoughts in ones heart, she wouldnt feel disgusted? Maybe she should try shaking hands with a child next time, but if that doesnt work either, would she have to be stuck like this for life?
Honestly, Ye Fanleng really dislikes her name, Leng(cold) to be cold for a lifetime?
Suddenly, she thought of many indescribable scenes. Xu Lin also felt the strange glances from the side and looked over.
Ms. Ye, is there something on my face?
No, continue telling the story. You just mentioned falling into a pit.
Ill continue.
On the side, Zhang Qingzhen looked at the trio like a family of three and felt a bit annoyed. He cleared his throat a couple of times, but still, no one responded to him.
Ahem! Xu Lin, have you ever played archery?
I played when I was a kid.
Theres a spot over there; want to play with me? He threw a set of finger guards over, heading towards the spot, implying, Im going; you should give face.
Xu Lin also sensed the hostility, feeling puzzled, but then caught a whiff of a womans fragrance, immediately understanding.
Its the clich jealousy plot; normally the protagonist would have to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger at this time, but the most important thing is that you are not a pig. He felt like he might be about to be slapped in the face.
Ye Fanleng also pulled him aside and whispered, Hes specially trained; theres no need to take it too seriously or get angry.
Okay.
Xu Lin didnt expect the other party to say that. After all, considering the relationship, he was the outsider. He suddenly felt that Ms. Ye was quite understanding.
Then he stood up and walked over. He might as well shoot a few arrows to see how many rings he could hit. But the next second, that familiar voice rang in his ears again.
[Ye Fan Lengs favorability has been turned on, and the current favorability is: 19]
The accumulation before starting was so highalmost 20. Weve just met, so what exactly happened? I just helped the other party a little.
Thenit seems you cant take things lightly, Xu Lin; you have to shoot these arrows seriously!
Whos this slacker Xu? I dont know him. But Im sure of her favorability!
