Under the watchful, amused gazes of all the other female students, the female student awkwardly withdrew her hand.

"I've seen big faces, but I've never seen one with such thick skin!"

"Instructor Qin, we're thirsty too..."

Someone even imitated her affected, high-pitched voice, which drew laughter from everyone.

"Ugh..." The female classmate was so angry that she turned around and ran away.

"Tsk, how shameless, seducing someone's man in front of their wife, ugh."

Zhao Pandi watched the female classmate's retreating figure, snorted coldly, and spat in the direction she left.

Xia Lan patted Zhao Pandi to calm her down.

"Don't bother with someone like that; she'll get what she deserves someday."

Even the female students who were attracted to Qin Yu quickly gave up. They didn't think they could compare to Xia Lan. Rather than be humiliated by Qin Yu, they would rather find another target!

After all, Qin Yu isn't the only man.

Xia Lan noticed the change in the female classmates' gazes and smiled slightly.

Over the next three days of training, Xia Lan became increasingly composed under Qin Yu's one-on-one instruction, and she almost hit the target every time.

The envy of everyone was almost overflowing. Even though Lao Yang personally taught many people and they could achieve such results, everyone's attention was still on Qin Yu and Xia Lan.

After all, they're too flashy, constantly showing off their affection without a care in the world...

Are they bullying these single, unmarried people...?

I was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

The last day was the shooting competition, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, Xia Lan was sure to be a part of it, not because she cheated.

Rather, it's because her abilities are already evident; the students personally taught by Old Yang are not much different from Xia Lan.

Everyone knows the final result.

On the last day of the shooting competition, Xia Lan successfully defeated all her classmates and made it to the final twelve.

"Xia Lan, you have to do your best! Don't lose!"

"Go, Xia Lan!"

"Lanlan, I believe in you!"

"You will definitely win!!!"

The female students cheered for Xia Lan, hoping she would win. Xia Lan's outstanding performance made them start to believe the saying—who says women are inferior to men!

Xia Lan waved to her female classmates, who all turned into adoring fans, calling out Xia Lan's name and cheering her on.

"Xia Lan, it's an honor." The male student who was competing against Xia Lan smiled at her when he saw her.

Qin Yu, who was standing next to Lao Yang, immediately turned pale.

"Is it really that serious? He just said one sentence to his wife." Old Yang couldn't help but complain about Qin Yu's jealous nature. As long as another man smiled at his wife, this guy's expression would change.

I never realized he was so clingy before.

Xia Lan nodded to the male classmate. It was a competition in pairs, and the winner would advance to the next round.

"Nine rings, nine rings, seven rings, eight rings, ten rings."

The male student's grades were excellent; he even hit the bullseye with his last shot.

"Xia Lan, keep it up!"

When he gave it to Xia Lan, he didn't forget to give her an appreciative look.

"Thank you." Xia Lan replied with a faint smile. As the two exchanged guns, the male student seemed to accidentally touch Xia Lan's fingertips.

As soon as Xia Lan frowned, the male student felt a chill behind him. He turned around and saw Qin Yu staring at his hand with a sinister gaze.

He had clearly seen the boy's little trick just now; he deliberately touched Xia Lan with his fingertips.

"...Sorry, it was an accident." The male student's legs went weak, and he quickly placed the gun in Xia Lan's hand, no longer daring to have any lingering thoughts.

Xia Lan pursed her lips, took the gun from the male classmate, and immediately inspected it. Qin Yu walked over with a gun and directly swapped the gun in Xia Lan's hand.

"Use this one!"

Qin Yu ruffled Xia Lan's hair and turned back to his seat.

The gun was thrown directly to Old Yang, who sighed and resignedly put it back in the armory.

Xia Lan took the gun that Qin Yu had calibrated and aimed it.

"Ten rings, nine rings, nine rings, ten rings, nine rings."

Out of five shots, three were nine rings and two were ten rings. This result made Lao Yang unable to help but applaud.

The result was obvious: Xia Lan won and successfully advanced to the top six.

"Xia Lan! Xia Lan! Xia Lan!"

The female students were incredibly excited, as if they had won a competition, cheering and jumping for joy.

Xia Lan returned to the rest area, waved to her female classmates, and then waited for her next round of the competition.

The intense competition among the male students once again created a frenzy at the scene.

The boys' pursuit was very intense, with almost all of them at roughly the same level.

"Nine rings, nine rings, nine rings, ten rings, eight rings."

"Nine rings, ten rings, nine rings, eight rings, eight rings."

They were just one ring short, and ultimately suffered a defeat.

The losers pound the ground in despair, while the winners beam with pride.

Having successfully entered the top six, Xia Lan stood among five male classmates, like a beautiful sight to behold, drawing everyone's attention.

The top six were divided into three groups for comparison. Xia Lan drew the middle group, and the three groups were directly divided into three teams to compete.

Xia Lan's opponent was an old acquaintance, Shi Dalin, who had helped Sudan carry his luggage on the first day of school.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Xia Lan took the initiative to greet him, and Shi Dalin exclaimed in surprise, "You still remember me?"

"Of course, I remember you helped Dandan with her luggage on the first day of school."

Xia Lan smiled.

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect you guys to still remember me!" Shi Dalin was overjoyed. He kept telling everyone that he had helped Sudan on the first day of school, but everyone laughed at him.

Sudan was the most beautiful girl in their Chinese department, while Xia Lan was the most beautiful girl in their economics department. In addition, Sudan and Xia Lan were good friends.

So all the students in the Chinese department knew Xia Lan. Shi Dalin had mentioned it countless times: he had helped Sudan with his luggage on the first day of school.

But all I ever get in return is ridicule.

He dared not ask the Sultan for confirmation, in case she denied it or didn't remember him at all, he would surely be ridiculed again.

"Of course I remember! You walked so fast back then, Dandan wanted to thank you!"

Xia Lan smiled at Shi Dalin.

"I never expected my opponent to be you. Nice to meet you!"

"Hehe, I used to shoot birds with a slingshot a lot when I was a kid, so I have a bit of talent for this."

Shi Dalin rubbed his hair sheepishly. When he was a child, his favorite thing to do was to take the slingshot that his grandfather made for him and go hunting in the back mountains.

His family was too poor to afford meat, so the prey he hunted with a slingshot was the best meat he could get.

Therefore, he picked up shooting very quickly, which made Lao Yang want to take him on as an apprentice.

"come on."

Xia Lan picked up the gun and raised it at the target.

Shi Dalin and Xia Lan picked up their guns at the same time, exchanged a glance, and fired simultaneously.

"Thump thump thump thump thump!"

Five shots rang out simultaneously. Xia Lan and Shi Dalin looked at each other and smiled, waiting for the outcome on the other side.
