"Liu Woxing, if you don't fight back soon, you're going to lose to me! Mwahahahaha..."
Cackling like a villain, Xie Mi fired both guns at full blast, sending bullets flying with a pew-pew-pew.
Liu Woxing's green camouflage uniform had long since turned red, but the delight lurking in her eyes betrayed how she felt.
"Teacher Xie, I'm going to fight back, then."
She fired at Xie Mi, who nimbly grabbed a vine and swung away like a monkey, yelling, "Ooh, ooh!"
It actually made Liu Woxing laugh. Her eyes, usually fixed in a polite smile, curved into lovely crescents.
[Are you two fighting or flirting?]
[Sister Liu to Qiu Chengye: bang, bang, you're out. Sister Liu to Old Xie: I'm~ going~ to~ fight~ back~ now~]
[Our Sister Liu's finally living the fangirl dream.]
[Xie/Liu shippers are having a field day!!]
Just as their battle reached a fever pitch, a discordant voice intruded.
"Woxing, run!"
A slender figure spread her arms in front of Liu Woxing, taking several red rounds head-on.
Xu Shuangrong turned back and urged Liu Woxing, "Run! I'll hold Teacher Xie off."
Liu Woxing hesitated.
"Woxing, don't worry about me! Go!"
Liu Woxing pressed her lips together.
[Liu Woxing: oh, look at you, showing off.]
[Sister Liu: you think I couldn't leave on my own if I wanted to? Can't you read the room?]
[Sister Liu isn't worried about you. She just doesn't want to leave Old Xie.]
[I love being internet friends with you guys. Your wicked tongues make me feel so safe.]
[Hahahahahahaha!]
Liu Woxing didn't want to leave. Opportunities to have fun with Teacher Xie like this were rare, and she was thoroughly enjoying herself.
But getting carried away with a shooting game clearly didn't fit her public image. Besides, this was a competition, so
