One shot, two shots, three shots... ten shots.
His handsome face was expressionless, his bearing stern and cool. Everything about him said he was not to be messed with.
So cool!
After the tenth shot, the machine overhead displayed the scores.
Two nines and eight tens.
"That's incredible." Shen Baili knew just how impressive that score was. "Eldest Brother, you're a Sharpshooter."
Xie Zhiyu removed the magazine and gladly accepted the praise.
"Suìsuì, give it a try."
He stepped aside for Shen Baili, who happily picked up the pistol with one hand.
She frowned. It was a little heavy.
Xie Zhiyu saw what she intended at once: she wanted to fire one-handed.
"Your arm isn't strong enough to handle the recoil one-handed," Xie Zhiyu explained.
Shen Baili was a little disappointed, but she quickly came around.
If one hand won't work, I'll use both.
As she moved to change her grip, Xie Zhiyu stood beside her and wrapped his hand around her right hand, which held the gun.
"Relax."
Shen Baili took a deep breath, eager to begin. "Eldest Brother, I'm ready."
Xie Zhiyu released the safety and spoke calmly. "Look straight ahead. Fix your eyes on the target."
"Fire."
Shen Baili fired without hesitation. Bang, bang, bang! The shots kept coming.
Her gaze was steely. She did not flinch.
After ten shots, they lowered the pistol and looked up together at the scoreboard overhead.
One eight, one nine, and the rest were tens.
Shen Baili's eyes widened in disbelief. "Eldest Brother, eight tens!"
"You're talented, Suìsuì," Xie Zhiyu said, sparing no praise.
Shen Baili nodded confidently. "I'm talented, and I had your help. We make a great team!"
She had praised herself and Eldest Brother too. How clever of her.
Shen Baili was in a wonderful mood.
"Again!"
