This sound was louder than all other sounds at that moment, even though there were still many gunshots not far away.

But to Tang Wan's ears, none of that sounded as loud as those words.

Chen Shuo's face still had that somewhat world-weary look, but his cold eyes deliberately avoided looking at Tang Wan.

Perhaps this was the first time he had ever explained it to someone.

So I was a little clumsy, and my ears turned red. I was especially embarrassed.

Having exhausted all his energy by saying those two sentences, Chen Shuo immediately turned around, his back to Tang Wan, looking like a little black bear against the backdrop of his black clothes.

This was the first time Tang Wan realized that the sharp-tongued Chen Shuo had such a cute side.

She quietly stood up, walked to Chen Shuo's side, turned on his computer, and looked at the still-running program, as if the misunderstanding had never happened.

A kitten that doesn't hold grudges.

This thought suddenly flashed through Chen Shuo's mind.

No wonder Fu Wenzhi, a man whose blood runs cold and selfish, was willing to make concessions for Tang Wan.

For people like them, pure emotion is like a hungry wolf seeing the most delicious food; who could resist taking a bite?

At least for Chen Shuo, Tang Wan was like a delicious cake, tempting him to take a bite.

However, he also knew his own nature; he had always been indifferent, and nothing could control him.

Everyone else seemed indifferent to him, but in reality, he was largely oblivious to everything.

But just now, when Tang Wan came close to him, it was as if he saw many colors exploding in front of his eyes.

It brought a dazzling brightness to his world, which was once just his own.

Chen Shuo felt a rare sense of fear.

Ahead lay candies exuding a sweet aroma, luring me towards that uncertain world.

Not to mention, there's a menacing dragon eyeing Tang Wan right now.

He was also observing this unexpected candy, wanting to see what changes this uncertain candy would bring to this swamp-like arena of fame and fortune.

The blush on Chen Shuo's ears faded, and his heart returned to its calm state. It seemed that nothing could attract his attention except for the code in his hand.

However, a crystal-clear amber fell into the lake of the heart, causing ripples that spread to the shore, where even the wildly growing vines tasted the first bittersweet flavor.

Chen Hexiao fired nine bullseyes. With his last shot, a mischievous smile crept onto his lips, as if he were enjoying a good show.

Gou Xi's shooting results are really not good. Compared to someone like Chen Hexiao, who is both talented and diligent in practice, she can only score six rings.

Not to mention that the target in front of them was moving.

This makes it even harder to fight.

Finally, Chen Hexiao fired the last shot.

From afar, the AI ​​emitted a sound that broke Gou Xi's heart.

"Ten rings! Congratulations on reaching the summit! Keep up the good work!"

Lu Ze was not a good shooter; his movements were trembling, and he lacked confidence.

At this point, there was no turning back for them.

But he didn't want to lose Tang Wan to Chen Hexiao.

Only Chen Shuo, watching this farce from the sidelines, spoke coldly: "Aren't you worried?"

Aren't you worried about being exported?

Aren't you worried about not being able to get back?

Tang Wan looked puzzled, then raised her hand and held up the tablet in her hand, which had the following text written on it.

I am an independent individual.

Such a bet is invalid.

Looking at the two sentences on Tang Wan's tablet, Chen Shuo suddenly felt an urge to laugh.

That makes sense; when almost everyone is offered as a prize in a bet, they are blinded by the existing conditions and begin to worry about who gets to keep it.

However, in reality, everyone is an independent individual, and very few people can immediately step out of that situation.

Tang Wan didn't know why Chen Shuo stopped talking halfway through his sentence.

She would glance at Chen Hexiao and the others as they shot, then look at the computer in Chen Shuo's hand, studying the programming inside.

Although I was very busy, I also learned a lot.

Finally, Lu Ze fired the last shot.

With a "bang," the bullet missed the target.

The AI's voice sounded again, and to Lu Ze's ears, it seemed to be mocking his naivety.

He was losing control of his emotions, grabbing Chen Hexiao's wrist and saying, "One more time! I can't give Tang Wan to you!"

Lu Ze had not forgotten what Lu Lin had said: to protect Tang Wan.

He could never give Tang Wan to anyone else!

Chen Hexiao merely raised his slightly harsh eyes, looking at Lu Ze with some dissatisfaction, and said provocatively, "Are you trying to cheat?"

"Can't accept defeat?"

Lu Ze was stunned upon hearing this.

Meanwhile, Gou Xi, who was standing to the side, had already started crying, making Chen Hexiao's head buzz with pain.

Gou Xi was unaware of all the intricacies involved; all she knew was that she and Lu Ze had lost the competition, and Tang Wan was about to belong to someone else.

She finally couldn't hold back any longer and charged at Chen Hexiao like a firecracker, shouting, "You bad guy! I'll kill you!"

Chen Hexiao had a bad temper to begin with. He grabbed Gou Xi and shook the little calf-like brat threateningly, saying, "If you make any more trouble, I'll throw you out."

"Go ahead and throw it! You're not allowed to take Tangtang's food, and you're not allowed to treat Tangtang badly!"

Chen Hexiao really couldn't understand the thought process of these little brats, so he could only wave to the two kids who were watching the show from the sidelines, and said in a somewhat impatient tone: "Why don't you come over here? What are you standing there for?"

"If you don't come and take them away, I'm really going to beat them up."

Chen Shuo then slowly stood up and leisurely prepared to walk towards his friend.

However, even faster than him was Tang Wan beside him.

Tang Wan rushed to Lu Ze and Gou Xi's side like a gust of wind, grabbed Gou Xi's foot to steady her, and stared directly at Chen Hexiao with her beautiful eyes.

Compared to Chen Hexiao's stature, Tang Wan was undoubtedly tiny.

Her body trembled with fear, but even more so, a tangible protective instinct surged from her.

She was small and fragile, like a weed.

But when faced with danger, he used all his strength to protect his friends.

What a shining quality this is for selfish people.

Even Chen Hexiao was no exception.

If he initially wanted Tang Wan just to tease them...

But now, Tang Wan has become a tangible manifestation in his eyes, making him truly want to possess her.

Just as Chen Hexiao was about to do something, Chen Shuo's cold, youthful voice rang out beside him.

"Brother, you can't."
