"By the way, Chengcheng, when I went to your house last time, weren't you holding some kind of competition?"
"Who ended up taking first place? Didn't you participate?"
At the mention of this, Ran Xincheng visibly relaxed.
"I was going to participate, but it was called off halfway through."
"Huh?" Shen Wuxiao looked surprised. "No way, did Uncle Ran pull some strings behind the scenes?"
"Did he appoint the champion in advance? Was he afraid you'd go up there and knock them all flat?"
Ran Xincheng burst out laughing and turned to look at Shen Wuxiao. "Of course not. It was called off because you came over."
"They kept competing. I was in the main hall the whole time, wasn't I?"
Shen Wuxiao laughed heartily. "Then I'm to blame. I made you miss your chance to become champion."
Ran Xincheng shook her head. "Young Master Shen, you think too highly of me. Even if I'd competed to the end, I might not have taken first place."
"But getting into the top three wouldn't have been a problem."
Shen Wuxiao looked thoughtful. "See? You're keeping a low profile, aren't you? I heard you punched a wild bull to death once."

"Huh? Who told you that?" Even Ran Xincheng herself had never heard of it.
"Oh, I just made it up on the spot!"
Ran Xincheng could not help raising her hand and smacking Shen Wuxiao on the shoulder. "Why are you so bad? I thought someone had really been spreading that around."
"It sounds so violent."
Laughing and chatting, the two had already reached the garden.
At a glance, there were a great many people.
Shen Wuxiao was in no hurry to bring Ran Xincheng over.
Instead, the two sat down on the stone benches in a pavilion.
