Chapter 359 Ignites her desire to win

"What's wrong with that?" Meng Anran said, "He's your future brother-in-law, and he's a good friend to your boyfriend. It's perfect for him to carry you down the mountain."

Qin Mu also thought so. Without any objection, he walked up to Meng Zhen and squatted down.

Meng Zhen hesitated for a moment. It seemed that apart from being carried on her father's back when she was a child, she had only ever been close to Xiao Han. She always felt a little reserved around other members of the opposite sex.

Even if the person in front of you is your sister's boyfriend.

"How about I carry you down with me?" Meng Chenghong raised his hand and jumped out to volunteer.

Meng Anran glanced at him and said, "You? Practice for a few more years. If you make your sister fall, you'll get a beating with a cane when you get home."

Meng Chenghong lowered his raised hand awkwardly.

"Sister, don't be embarrassed." Qin Mu said, "You are An Ran's sister, so you are my sister. We are all family."

Hearing this, Meng Zhen exhaled a breath of cold air and said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble you."

The group descended the mountain smoothly.

Meng Anran walked beside Kenai and talked to him about the argument with Qin Mu last night.

Kenai was slightly stunned when he heard this, and looked at her with a little surprise: "You two are still quarreling?"

"It wasn't really a quarrel." Meng Anran adjusted the scarf around her neck. "We just had different perspectives and had a few words."

Although the conflict was quickly resolved, she was ultimately unable to resolve Qin Mu's emotional knot.

Maybe they won't quarrel about this matter again in the future, but she can't make Qin Mu accept her attitude towards Lu Yi, which means that every time she gets along with Lu Yi in the future, Qin Mu will feel uncomfortable in his heart.

He loved her so he respected all her choices, and she didn't want him to give in all the time.

"So, you want me to talk to Qin Mu?" Kenai adjusted his glasses and instantly understood her intention.

"Hmm." Meng Anran sighed softly, "I can't even clearly explain my attitude towards Lu Yi, so it's naturally difficult to communicate this issue with Qin Mu."

Kenai lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then replied, "I understand. I'll find a time to ask him what he thinks."

…

On the other side, Tianshui Qingchuan.

My parents went to the hot springs. Meng Yushu was tired of reading the script in Tingyuxuan and was ready to go out for a walk.

I heard that there are a lot of entertainment activities in the Risheng Pavilion behind the main building, so I decided to go there to relax and change my mind.

The interior of Risheng Pavilion is completely different from the style of the entire villa.

There are various entertainment options here, including snooker, baseball simulators, chess rooms, etc., and it is also a little noisier than other places.

When Ji Lan walked into the snooker area in high heels, Meng Yushu was leaning over to hit the ball. He was wearing a dark gray shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing a section of his well-defined forearms.

The pool cue was as steady as a rock in his hand. With a gentle push of his slender fingers, the black ball went into the pocket accurately with a crisp sound.

"Teacher Meng is a good player." She leaned against the door frame, her red lips slightly raised, a slender lady's cigarette between her fingertips, the smoke swirling in the light.

She had received news about Meng Yushu's whereabouts and had come here specially.

Meng Yushu stood up, glanced at her lightly, and a polite smile hung on the corner of his lips: "Miss Ji also plays snooker?"

"Occasionally." She walked closer, her high heels tapping out a clear rhythm on the wooden floor. "How about a round?"

Meng Yushu did not answer immediately, but slowly and methodically wiped the golf club, his movements as graceful as if he was wiping a piece of art.

"Sorry," he finally said, his tone gentle but unyielding, "I have an appointment at the archery gym."

Ji Lan raised her eyebrows and parted her red lips: "What a coincidence? I was just thinking of trying it."

A barely perceptible hint of helplessness flashed across Meng Yushu's eyes, but his expression remained calm: "Then please do as you wish, Miss Ji."

He put down his golf club, turned and walked towards the archery hall behind Risheng Pavilion. His back was as straight as an insurmountable boundary.

Ji Lan stared at his back, a determined smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

This man was more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.

It actually ignited her desire to win.

The archery hall is divided into indoor and outdoor areas. As soon as Meng Yushu stepped into the venue, he immediately caused some commotion.

"Is that Meng Yushu? I really like the drama 'Flowers Along the Way' in which he acted!"

"Me too! It's so pretty, I watched it five times!"

"Why is he with Ji Lan? Could he be Ji Lan's new love?"

"No, how can my white moonlight be tarnished by Ji Lan!"

"Ji Lan's figure and face are indeed impeccable, but her private life is too messy..."

As bits and pieces of discussion drifted in, Ji Lan's expression changed slightly. She took a look at Meng Yushu's expression and guessed that he might have heard some rumors about her at the villa, which was why he was avoiding her.

But it doesn't matter, she likes challenging things.

Sooner or later, Meng Yushu will fall at her feet.

A chilly wind whistled past his ears outside, and a row of targets lay neatly arranged in the snow. Meng Yushu stood in the shooting area, his bow drawn with textbook-like precision.

Ji Lan stood beside him, deliberately getting very close, and the faint scent of perfume on her body drifted over.

"Is Teacher Meng usually so busy?" She said with deliberate regret, "You don't even have time for a round of snooker?"

Meng Yushu released the bowstring, and the arrow shot out in a straight line, piercing the bull's eye of the target. He then tilted his head to look at her, his peach blossom eyes gentle yet distant. "Miss Ji, does it seem like I'm very interested in my itinerary?"

Ji Lan chuckled, her fingertips resting lightly on his bow, "I've always been interested in interesting people."

Meng Yushu took a half step back without leaving a trace, with that polite smile still on the corner of his lips: "Unfortunately, I am a very boring person."

"Really?" Ji Lan tilted her head, her red lips slightly raised, "But I think that the more someone says they are boring, the more secrets they have hidden."

Meng Yushu didn't respond, but turned and walked towards the next shooting point.

Ji Lan was not annoyed, and followed slowly, like a cat eyeing its prey.

"I heard a black ski slope opened up at the nearby ski resort." She continued the topic, "Teacher Meng, are you interested in joining us?"

Meng Yushu leaned back calmly and said, "Sorry, I have to join the filming tomorrow."

"What a coincidence?" Ji Lan adjusted the mink fur shawl on her shoulders. Her long, rhinestone-studded nails reflected scattered light in the sunlight. "Then another day..."

"He won't be free another day."

A cold female voice suddenly interrupted.

Han Yitong stood at the entrance of the outdoor venue, wearing a neat black suit and holding a glass of iced American coffee in her hand.

She glanced at Ji Lan, a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes.
