As if to apologize for his earlier rudeness, the guard brought Du Wei a case of orange soda.

Du Wei was generous; after thanking the guard, he invited the others to come and drink with him.

Su Wan walked over, took a bottle, and Du Wei kindly handed her a bottle opener. Without even looking at it, she slammed the bottle on the table, and the cap fell off immediately.

The guards standing behind the man frowned immediately. What was wrong with these women today? One of them drank their master's tea. And now another one had slashed their master's table.

Du Wei's hand, still holding the bottle opener, was already trembling with surprise. This was the first time he'd ever seen someone open a bottle like that, especially a girl. "So cool!" he exclaimed, nudging Xu Keke with his elbow. "Amazing! Don't you think so, sis?"

"He doesn't even have basic manners, what's so great about him?" Xu Keke was speechless at the little guy's reaction. She was just angry with him, and after showing off for a little while, he got excited again.

Du Wei put down the screwdriver, picked up a bottle of soda, and seemed somewhat eager to try it out. Xu Keke grabbed him.

Du Wei looked puzzled, not knowing why she was stopping him.

Xu Keke cleared her throat. "Next to our old house in the countryside, there's a ditch..."

No one understood what she was trying to say, so they all looked at her. Even the man sitting next to her tilted his head slightly.

"The ditch wasn't very wide, maybe just over two meters. To make it easier for people to cross, a bridge was built over it. There was a villager with very long legs who always wanted to show off. One time, in front of everyone, he jumped over the bridge and fell into the ditch."

Some people understood, but Du Wei, holding the soda bottle, didn't and asked, "And then?"

Xu Keke smacked him on the head. "What's the big deal? Why show off when there's a bridge to cross? Be careful not to get splashed with water."

Du Wei rubbed his head, looking a little aggrieved. He didn't understand why his older sister was telling him such a story. Holding the bottle and gesturing, Xu Keke laughed in exasperation, grabbing his wrist.

"You had a screwdriver but didn't use it, and you even broke the table. This table is a Ming Dynasty huanghuali wood, an antique, you know?"

Su Wan, who was chugging soda, stopped. "Stop making such a fuss. What antique? Ming Dynasty huanghuali wood? Who are you trying to scare?"

“It has a mortise and tenon joint structure, straight sides, square legs, and a tabletop inlaid with stone slabs,” Xu Keke said, pointing to the table. “This is a flat-top table from the Ming Dynasty.”

Su Wan continued to argue, but Li Dakang grabbed her arm and stopped her. "Wrong is wrong, what's there to be upset about? May I ask Miss Du, do you know how much this table is worth? I didn't mean anything by it. I just want to compensate the owner of this table."

Xu Keke shook her head. "I have no idea. How would I know the market price of antique furniture? You should ask the owner. But judging from the arrangement of things here, this must be someone's private space."

Xu Keke looked at Fu Kai questioningly. Fu Kai glanced at the man out of the corner of his eye and said, "Yes, big sister has good taste. This is a private venue and is not open to outsiders."

He didn't say whose private space it was. The others understood and didn't press the matter.

Fu Kai glanced at the rather deep scratches and felt a little resentful towards Su Wan. Some guns weren't for public use; only this place had them. He wanted Du Jue to see them, so he used the opportunity of entertaining Li Dakang to get his father to ask for this venue. They offered him soda; he should just drink it. Why play tricks?

Even though he was unhappy, he couldn't say much since the other person was a girl. "Cousin, don't worry about it. Let me ask. If it doesn't work, I'll have my father find a way to send one over."

Li Dakang chimed in, "That's right, you can ask around and find out how much compensation is owed, then tell me. Don't let your uncle worry."

Seeing that the others were in low spirits because of this, Du Jue put down his soda and joked with Fu Kai, asking him to have a contest, with the loser treating everyone to lunch.

Du Jue's marksmanship was the worst among them, so his statement clearly meant he wanted to treat them to a meal.

Fu Kai was his closest friend, so he understood immediately. However, he didn't blame Xu Keke for meddling; it was better to say it to that person's face than to be kept in the dark.

Su Wan was already in a bad mood, and upon hearing Du Jue's words, she immediately chimed in, "Inviting someone to dinner is too ordinary, how about we bet on something more interesting?"

"Great!" Du Jue was just trying to liven things up, and he was happy to have someone support him. "How do you suggest we compete?"

"It's simple, ten rounds to decide the winner. You compete against my cousin. If my cousin loses, I'll run ten laps inside. If you lose, your younger brother will run ten laps."

Du Wei, pointed at by Su Wan, had a face that kept changing like a carousel, looking extremely conflicted. Du Jue couldn't even beat Fu Kai, so he was bound to lose to Li Dakang. Making him run laps in front of so many people was incredibly humiliating. But this was his older brother, and the little guy finally turned red with anxiety.

Su Wan looked at his face with schadenfreude, "What, you have no confidence in your brother? Ten laps and you still can't finish? Fine, I won't make things difficult for a little kid like you. How about this?"

Su Wan's eyes darted around, noticing the malicious look Su Wan was giving her. Xu Keke knew then that everything Su Wan had said before was just a pretense; Su Wan was really after her.

This person is one who seeks revenge and doesn't like dragging things out.

“Miss Du, how about this? Let’s not run laps anymore. I’ll compete with Du Jue. If your brother loses, you can pick that flower and give it to my cousin. If I lose, my cousin can pick it and give it to you.”

Xu Keke laughed. It seemed that in the other person's eyes, she was just a lovesick fool. She was convinced that she had feelings for her cousin.

It's rare that she has such good eyesight; she even noticed that little yellow flower under the target. It's not that she's incapable of cruelly destroying flowers, but Xu Keke would never stand under the target and give others the opportunity to hurt her.

“Miss Su, I have a suggestion. How about we have a contest?” Everyone was stunned, their jaws nearly dropping. Xu Keke smiled calmly at them, “Let’s not go through it in rounds of ten; let’s decide the winner with a single shot. However…”

Xu Keke paused for a moment, "I don't know how to shoot, you'll have to let me pass."

Su Wan raised an eyebrow, "Give way!...How do you give way?"

"Let's both shoot blindfolded."

Blind firing? Everyone was stunned by her suggestion.

Xu Keke laughed and said, "Let's settle this with one shot. If I lose, I'll have my younger brother pick flowers and give them to you. If I win, I'll have your older cousin pick flowers and give them to me."

Su Wan stared at her for a long time without speaking. It wasn't that she was worried about blind shooting, but rather that she felt she hadn't gained any advantage regardless of winning or losing. So she simply said...

"No. If you lose, you pick the flower. If I lose, I'll pick the flower. This round won't involve anyone else."

Great! This is exactly what Xu Keke has been waiting for.
