Su Youli is forced to marry as a substitute, suppressing her true nature to become the obedient replacement that satisfies Li Tingxi—servicing him in bed at night and working tirelessly by day.
...Chapter 657 A Child Prodigy Reborn
"..." Li Tingxi's lips twitched. He squatted down and whispered a few words, then hinted, "Have you forgotten why we came here in the first place?"
Yueyue listened intently, then suddenly glanced at Su Youling and exclaimed in realization, "I know! This competition is fair too!"
Li Tingxi smiled with satisfaction: "Great."
Seeing this, Su Youling shook her head helplessly, looking thoughtfully at the ring on her finger, when suddenly an idea struck her...
She stopped paying attention to this area and turned to go into the study.
Half an hour later.
The men prepared the venue, and the competition officially began.
There was an archery range on the island, and Li Tingxi booked the entire place for himself.
However, the onlookers who were originally going to shoot arrows became very interested when they saw the two beautiful and spirited children standing at the archery range, and gathered around the archery range to discuss them.
"Can such a small child draw a bow?"
"The younger ones are only four or five years old, right? Even if they're using children's bows and arrows, the bows are longer than their arms. How can they compete in archery?"
"Do you really take rich kids' pretend play seriously?"
"What's the point of watching two kids book the whole place? Are we supposed to watch a baby straining with all its might to pull a bow? It makes it impossible for us to play, what a disappointment..." someone was about to leave.
The next moment—
Whoosh!
An arrow shot through the air and hit the bullseye.
Yue Qing put down his bow, his expression both confident and indifferent.
"Nine rings!" A loud and shocked voice came from the staff member inside the arena. "Incredible! This child is only five years old, and he drew the bow to its fullest extent and threw a nine-ring shot on his very first arrow."
A gasp of shock rippled through the crowd, who looked at Yue Qing as if he were Hou Yi reborn: "Wow, that's amazing! This kid looks only six or seven years old, so refined and handsome, I never expected him to be such a tough guy."

"This young master is clearly a product of a well-educated family; he's been learning this since he was a child."
"Talent also matters from elementary school. An average six or seven-year-old child probably can't even draw this bow, right?"
Just then, someone said, "I've been over here the whole time. This kid is amazing. He's a complete beginner at archery, and he only had half an hour of crash course training..."
Everyone was shocked, thinking he was bragging.
The man stroked his chin again, looking at Xingxing standing next to Yueqing, "However, a good teacher produces a good student. The little guy's master is so amazing, with nine rings and talent, I'm suddenly not so surprised."
Upon hearing this, everyone was skeptical, but mostly astonished:
"Really? Where did this amazing master come from? This level of skill is probably only attainable by a world Olympic champion."
"If there really is such an amazing teacher, I would spend any amount of money to bring him home and teach my good-for-nothing brat a lesson."
"An Olympic champion-level coach is a legend. But I've lived here for a long time and come to the archery range every day. How come I've never heard of such a great champion hiding on this island?"
Just as everyone was discussing it—
Xingxing stood inside the warning line, drawing his bow fully. He glanced at the target and aimed at the bullseye, then turned to Yueqing beside him: "Watch closely! One arrow decides the outcome. This time, you're doomed to lose."
Everyone chuckled inwardly at how big of a boast this little brat was despite his young age.
That kid was incredibly talented; hitting the nine-ring in one shot was already the limit for humankind... How come an even younger kid is making such boastful claims now?
This kind of competition is completely one-sided.
At this moment—
Xingxing didn't even turn her head, her gaze fixed on Yueqing's clenched fist, and with a sudden release, she fired all three arrows at the same time...
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The sound of arrows cutting through the air was mixed with gasps from the crowd as the distant targets were pierced and fell to the ground.
Everyone held their breath, shocked as if they were still dreaming: "Is this child really only five years old? His arm strength is a hundred or eighty times greater than that of an adult."
"Absolutely impossible, I must be dreaming. He's so good, why doesn't he join the championship youth team?"
"The target has fallen down, maybe it was just brute force. There are children with superhuman strength... Archery is about accuracy, not who has the most strength."
The staff member's voice trembled as soon as he finished speaking.
"First arrow, a perfect score!"
"Second arrow, bullseye!"
"The third arrow, and it's still a bullseye!"
"This is incredible..." The staff member expressed their shock and admiration in eight languages, their eyes filled with reverence as they looked at the stars. "Prodigy, how did you do that?"
This is also the question on the minds of the general public.
No one expected that in this tourist destination primarily focused on leisure and entertainment, one would witness a top-level archery competition that rivals the final of the world's Olympic champions!
What kind of amazing family do these two children come from?
"Brother is so awesome! Brother won!" Yueyue ran over excitedly, grabbed Xingxing's hand and shouted, "Brother Xingxing's archery is so amazing! When we were little, our archery teacher was made to cry by him."

Xingxing couldn't help but blush: "He accidentally twisted his back and cried because he didn't want to retire. I didn't do it."
"No way." Yueyue proudly gave Xingxing a thumbs up, her big eyes crinkling into crescents with laughter. "Anyway, brother is the best."
In front of so many people, Xingxing blushed and scratched her head shyly. Her adorable appearance was a stark contrast to her steady and accurate archery style just moments before.
In an instant, everyone's hearts were almost melted by the brother and sister.
Seeing this, Yue Qing pursed her lips, put on a serious face, and walked over: "Don't be too happy yet. Whether I lost or not, the next match is my home turf."
He stared intently at the stars, "I won't lose."
"Brother Xingxing?" Yueyue nervously squeezed her brother's little hand and whispered, "You must not lose to Mommy."
Xingxing nodded solemnly: "Don't worry."
He glanced at Yue Qing and whispered, "When I was learning slingshot shooting, I already tested his skills... At my current learning pace, I should have a good chance of beating him."
Upon hearing this, Yueyue nodded confidently, and secretly waved to Li Tingxi in the audience—Don't worry, we can win.
"Let's begin." Yue Qing handed the slingshot to Xingxing and suddenly said, "This time we'll increase the difficulty; we'll use moving targets. Are you up for it?"
"A moving target?" Xingxing was taken aback.
Seeing him frown as he looked at the moving target that had been brought up not far away, Yue Qing was thinking of how to use reverse psychology to get him to agree...
Unexpectedly, Xingxing suddenly jumped up, patted his shoulder, and said excitedly, "That's so cool! I've seen this moving target on TV before. It's super impressive, but unfortunately, no one has ever tried it with me... This time, it was definitely worth it."
