"I’ll go get the dart for you."
"I’m closer, let me do it."
After Qin Tian’s suspenseful remark, several people immediately competed eagerly to go to the target to retrieve the dart for Qin Tian.
A few people ran towards the target, and astonishingly, a beauty in a long dress reached the front first, exerting all her strength to remove the dart from the center of the target.
"Don’t move, beautiful!"
Just as the beauty in the white dress was about to bring the dart back, Qin Tian suddenly spoke up and stopped her action.
Everyone was taken aback, unsure of what Qin Tian was scheming. Song Zhe was particularly disdainful, thinking to himself how mysterious Qin Tian was trying to be. Hitting the bullseye isn’t anything special, I can do it too!
"What’s the matter? Is there anything else I can do for you?" the beauty in the white dress asked Qin Tian with a smile.
Qin Tian said, "Thank you, beautiful. Could you please check what else is at the position where I locked the dart into the target? Take a close look."
Qin Tian kept everyone in suspense, and with that remark, many people ran towards the target.
Of course, the beauty in the white dress had already turned around and brought her face close to the target. There, in the bullseye where Qin Tian’s dart had hit, she saw a dark little object.
Upon closer inspection, the expression on the face of the beauty in the white dress changed instantly!
How... how is there a mosquito?!"
The beauty in the white dress exclaimed in surprise.
At her words, almost everyone around gathered closer.
Then everyone saw a mosquito stuck on the small hole in the bullseye where Qin Tian’s dart had hit.
"You can’t be serious..."
"My goodness... what kind of accuracy is this!"
In front of the target, everyone who saw this scene was agape, unable to believe what they were seeing.
A single dart throw, not only hitting the bullseye but also striking a mosquito?!
This is something only a hidden weapon expert in TV shows could achieve! It’s too fantastical!
You should know, hitting the bullseye with a dart is tough, hitting a mosquito even tougher, hitting both the bullseye and a mosquito at the same time... that’s simply impossible!
However, Qin Tian did it, right in front of everyone, and he made it look easy!
At that moment, Song Zhe, holding a dart in his hand, couldn’t bring himself to throw it; a thousand curses raced through his mind, and finally, he kept the dart and sheepishly returned to Ma Rong’s side.
In the foreground, the crowd watching went wild, flocking towards Qin Tian to express their congratulations and admiration.
"Mr. Qin Tian, what exactly do you do? Swimming so amazingly and yet, your shooting and darts skills are even more incredible; I’m impressed."
"Mr. Qin Tian, how did you train to do this? You’re so impressive; I’ve never met anyone as magical as you!"
"Handsome Qin, do you mind if I take this particular dart home as a souvenir?"
"Qin Tian, brother, do you take apprentices? Name your price—I want to become your disciple."
The crowd surrounded Qin Tian, all of them looking up to him in admiration, many beauties among them clearly smitten, throwing flirty glances his way.
Meanwhile, individuals like Ma Rong, Yao Chugui, and Hong Xing, who stood outside the circle of admirers, were ashen-faced.
Li Wenkai had lost, and so had Song Zhe—how embarrassing!
They had thought they could humiliate Su Xuejiao today, only to be humiliated by her boyfriend, Qin Tian. They were utterly disgraced!
Ma Rong glared at Qin Tian, then turned to Song Zhe and said, "Song Zhe, you’re so useless!"
As Song Zhe was just about to explain himself, Ma Rong cut him off, "You’ve lost all face, and you’re still standing here? Waiting for Qin Tian to come and embarrass you more? Let’s go!"
"Rongrong... Rongrong..."
Rebuked by Ma Rong, Song Zhe, his face pale with anger, clenched his teeth. Before catching up to the infuriated Ma Rong, he looked back at Qin Tian, still surrounded by the crowd.
"Qin Tian, right? Just wait, tonight’s matter isn’t over yet!"
"Brother Qin Tian, you’re amazing!"
After the banquet, Su Xuejiao snuggled up to Qin Tian as they left Wanquan Villa, her face radiating happiness.
"Gosh, I thought I was going to be bullied by Ma Rong and those mean girls tonight. I didn’t expect you to be so effective, driving them away within minutes, hehe. You really are the prince charming boyfriend I’ve dreamed of."
Su Xuejiao laughed merrily.
"Don’t talk nonsense, I’m your pretend boyfriend. If your sister finds out, she might think I’m abducting an underage girl," Qin Tian said with a chuckle.
Today had been a great showcase for him. Those idiots, especially Song Zhe, to think they’d challenge him to shooting and darts. Back when Qin Tian was training in shooting at Dragon Soul Base, Song Zhe was still wetting the bed!
"I’ll be eighteen soon."
Su Xuejiao pouted, "I’ve already graduated from high school. My sister can’t keep treating me like a child, I’m not afraid of her."
"Are you sure?" Qin Tian asked, smiling.
Su Xuejiao’s eyes darted around. It was a lie to say she wasn’t afraid of the chilly Murong Fei. When Murong Fei got angry with that icy face, even Qin Tian kept his distance. How could she, a mere girl, stand up to Murong Fei?
"I was just saying... Humph, anyway, once I turn eighteen, I’m going to university. I’ll be in Beijing, and my sister can’t control me there... I’m going to date. Brother Qin Tian, when I go to university, will you be my boyfriend?"
Mid-sentence, Su Xuejiao blurted out this question, leaving Qin Tian at a loss for words.
"To be your boyfriend... yikes, you should ask your sister’s permission first," Qin Tian finally managed to say.
Being Su Xuejiao’s boyfriend, especially since he was a petite Lolita, would first and foremost face opposition from Murong Fei, the aloof Fei, who would definitely not let Qin Tian get too close to Su Xuejiao.
Besides, Qin Tian was still officially engaged to Murong Fei. Although neither had brought up the matter, it would be a mess if Su Xuejiao became his girlfriend while that engagement still stood. Wouldn’t Qin Tian end up claiming both of the beautiful sisters?
That would be awkward, wouldn’t it?
Qin Tian pursed his lips, contemplating—between one icy and one Lolita, their personalities couldn’t be more different, yet both were stunningly beautiful. If he could really win them both over... well, conquering Murong Fei? Maybe he should focus on his cultivation first.
Qin Tian didn’t dwell on it, but being Su Xuejiao’s boyfriend right now was definitely not an option. "Xuejiao, don’t joke about this in front of your sister, or else you’ll be grounded, and I’ll be as good as dead..."
