Lu Beichen immediately stood up and warmed his wrists up. “Sure. Let’s compete.”
Gu Jingze shrugged his shoulders in a show of nonchalance.
Beside them, Gu Jingyan was still looking on in excitement. She clapped her hands happily and said, “That’s great. The loser… will have to go up to a random man and say “I love you”. How’s that?”
Lin Che nearly sputtered.
Gu Jingyan was a riot.
Sure enough, Gu Jingze frowned and turned to look at Gu Jingyan.
Lu Beichen added, “No way. Can you think of a less disgusting idea? Can we change it to confessing to a woman?”
“Forget it. That would be going too easy on you guys. No way. You must confess to a man. Why? Lu Beichen, are you worried that you’ll lose to my Second Brother since you know how good he is?”
“Ha… Can you be any worse at goading people?”
Gu Jingyan made a face. “Then, go ahead.”
Gu Jingyan looked at Gu Jingze, “Look, my Second Brother isn’t worried at all. Because right now, he has already triumphed in his heart.”
Lu Beichen saw that Gu Jingze was indeed looking at the bowling lane in front of him.
Lu Beichen said, “Alright. Let’s do it.”
Lu Beichen walked to the front and put chalk on his hands. Then, he turned to say to Gu Jingze, “Come on. I definitely won’t let you win so I don’t have to confess to a man today.”
Gu Jingze raised his eyebrows. “I think you should start preparing now.”
“Prepare to do what?”
“Prepare your confession.”
“****, just watch me defeat you today.”
Lin Che and Gu Jingyan watched from the side as the two of them went back and forth. They knew that Gu Jingze’s normal way of speaking was absolutely infuriating.
The two of them began to compete. The machine that was keeping score was extremely accurate. A bowling competition was divided into rounds. There were ten tries per round. They were given two chances per try. If they scored a strike the first time, then there would be no need for a second try. If they did not get a strike, they could still try a second time. If they got a strike on their first try in the last round, they could still go on for two rounds. In the end, they would look at the total score and determine the winner with the higher score.
Lu Beichen went for it first and got a strike.
He turned to Gu Jingze and raised his brows to provoke him.
Gu Jingze was completely calm. He walked to the front slowly and picked up the ball. With perfect posture and technique, he immediately tossed the ball.
He seemed to be very calm and collected. His actions were extremely slow and methodical, but his confidence was obvious.
Sure enough, the ball rolled and immediately knocked down all ten pins.
Lin Che said, “Wow. They’re all so good at this.”
“Yes. We’ll see who makes a mistake,” Gu Jingyan said.
Gu Jingyan asked, “Who do you hope will win?” Shrugging her shoulders, she said, “Forget it. It’s useless for me to ask. Of course, you hope that Second Brother will win.”
Lin Che said, “No, no. I still hope that Lu Beichen will win.”
“Why?”
“Because I want to see Gu Jingze confess to a man,” Lin Che said.
Gu Jingyan broke into a smile. “Alright then. That makes sense too, haha. In that case, I hope that Second Brother wins. Lu Beichen should be the one to confess. He deserves it for being so arrogant.”
While they were talking, the second round had already started.
Just like that, the two of them rivaled each other; each would return a strike with a strike.
They reached a stalemate, with neither person giving in to the other.
However, behind them, other people had gradually noticed the competition going on here.
Although the people who came here knew how to bowl, many of them were not that good at it. Among them, no one was so good that every attempt was a strike.
Furthermore, looking at their movements, their posture, and their accuracy, everyone simply felt that they were complete professionals.
“Wow. Those two men are really handsome.”
“Yes. They’re so good at it. Are they professionals?”
“Looking at the way they’re dressed, they don’t seem to be. They don’t look like athletes either. They literally look like celebrities. They’re even more handsome than celebrities.”
“Of course, celebrities look like that because they’ve all had plastic surgery. One glance at them and you can tell that they look much more unique than those celebrities.”
“Precisely. They look like they’re from wealthy or influential families. Their figures are so good too; it must be because they often train their bodies.”
In no time, all the people in the entire bowling alley gathered around to watch the two of them compete.
Lu Beichen glared at Gu Jingze. How did he have the time to practice bowling when he was so busy? But he was actually so good at it and so difficult to beat.
“Jingze, is it really good for you to compete with me like this? Let me tell you, our family is the one lending your family the apparatus to erect the bridge tomorrow.”
“Oh.” Gu Jingze looked at him. “I think you also forgot that your family is still tendering a bid for the bay engineering project next week. You will need a capital of thirteen billion RMB after you get the bid. Are you sure that you want to offend me, the person in charge of the project?”
“You… fine, fine. If you lose today, I’ll transfer the managing rights to our family’s Qianming Mall to you. That would be equivalent to giving you a huge mall with its annual revenue of thirty billion.”
“Hehe. Nothing will happen to me if you lose. I only know that if you win, I will immediately give Jingyan’s contact details to Zong Tingye. He has been wooing Jingyan persistently, but he has never gotten her phone number even after so many years.”
“…”
Gu Jingze was too evil. He was truly evil.
Lin Che and Gu Jingyan watched on from the side.
Lin Che shuddered while listening to them. She wondered if there was a need for these Presidents to threaten each other with billions and billions of RMB just for a simple bowling match.
She really wanted to say, Pass me all the money. I’ll help you guys confess to a man…
But what the hell was that last threat…
Lu Beichen gritted his teeth, snorted, and said, “What are you afraid of? It’s just confessing to a man.”
“I’m not afraid. I just think that degrading things like these are best left to you,” Gu Jingze said.
“Just you wait!”
Lu Beichen then got another strike.
They reached the tenth round very soon after. Unexpectedly, the two of them had scored all strikes.
The people around them inevitably went into an uproar.
These two people were amazing. Neither was giving in to the other.
If neither of them made a mistake in this competition, there would be no clear winner even after a day of competing.
But even if the competition went on for a day, the bystanders were willing to watch. After all, the two of them were very handsome and they looked so good bowling.
Lin Che wanted to say something but was stopped when she heard a girl shout from behind, “All the best, all the best. How handsome.”
Lin Che turned around only to realize that there were so many people around them.
She let out an involuntary sigh. Seriously, they attracted so much attention wherever they went.
As a result, even a pretty well-known celebrity like her faded into the background when she was with them.
There were indeed people looking at her curiously. However, as they were sitting with their backs facing the crowd, men and women alike could only speculate how those two beautiful women who clearly had good figures were related to the two handsome men.
Lin Che really wanted to see Gu Jingze confess to a man. She had never seen him in an embarrassing situation before and was really looking forward to it. However, at the same time, she personally did not like seeing Gu Jingze lose.
Because it seemed that Gu Jingze had never lost.
