"What do you want?" Da Niu looked at them warily.
Chen Xiaoan used to be the king of the kids in the residential compound, but as he got older, he didn't play with these little brats much anymore. Today, he only had some free time to play with these younger brothers for a while.
He used to be a troublemaker, but now, encouraged by the atmosphere, he really wanted to compete with the best.
"Everyone claims to be the best, so let's have a competition," Chen Xiaoan said nonchalantly. He didn't believe he couldn't beat a three- or four-year-old.
"Let's compete!" Da Niu said, but knowing he wasn't that good and not wanting to lose face, he pushed Liu Shengrui forward, "Xiao Rui, compete with him and show him what you're capable of!"
Liu Shengrui didn't say anything. He got up from the ground, stood between his good friends, and stared intently at Chen Xiaoan.
He was very unhappy!
As soon as these people arrived, they denied his abilities and even said that Chen Xiaoan was the most capable.
Bullshit! He's the best!
“Sure, let’s have a competition,” Liu Shengrui said.
Chen Xiaoan felt Liu Shengrui's gaze and found that the child's eyes were strange, occasionally revealing a hint of ferocity. He thought he was seeing things. How could a child have such eyes?
"Come."
The atmosphere immediately became even more heated, with both sides cheering for their respective supporters.
After the lines were drawn, Liu Shengrui and Chen Xiaoan stood side by side, at a distance that was neither too close nor too far apart.
"Each person has three chances. The person who bounces the furthest distance wins." This was the competition rule agreed upon by both sides and received unanimous agreement.
"Xiao Rui, just play however you want, you'll definitely beat them!" Hao Cheng said.
"Yes, Xiao Rui, don't worry!" Xiang Xiang encouraged.
Chen Xiaoan's underlings were also cheering him on, telling him he must defeat Liu Shengrui and show them what a real master is.
"Once Brother Xiao'an makes a move, you'll all realize you're nothing!"
The competition officially began. In the first round, Liu Shengrui's distance was quite far, and his result was pretty good.
Chen Xiaoan followed suit, and Xiao Shitou rushed out, suddenly slowing down when he got close to the other stone, but still managed to overtake the other's time despite some stumbling.
"See that?" Chen Xiaoan's team members immediately became smug.
Da Niu, Xiang Xiang, and Hao Cheng were immediately on edge, but they weren't stupid and knew that this wasn't the final outcome.
"Don't be so smug, you still have two more chances. The one who goes the furthest is the winner!" Xiangxiang said.
"Tch, it's just stalling for time!"
Liu Shengrui was surprised that Chen Xiaoan's stone actually bounced a little further than his own. He was very angry, but he didn't show it yet because this was not the final result. He needed to prepare well for the next two rounds and turn the tide!
In the second round, Liu Shengrui overdid it because he was too eager to win and wanted to outdo Chen Xiaoan. As a result, he messed things up, and not only did his fingers hurt, but the stone he launched was also not as far as the first time.
"Hahahaha... Look at what he's playing! It's worse than dog shit, hahaha!"
Unrestrained laughter erupted as the children opposite Liu Shengrui mocked him mercilessly.
Liu Shengrui was very angry.
"It's not over yet. Don't get too excited. What if Chen Xiaoan makes a mistake too?"
However, Chen Xiaoan made no mistakes.
His second shot was even better than his first, launching it far and demonstrating remarkable consistency.
"Wow! Brother Xiao'an is awesome!" the children shouted.
Chen Xiaoan was very satisfied with his performance. He originally thought that Liu Shengrui must be quite good, given how much everyone was praising him. However, after comparing the two performances, he found that Liu Shengrui's level was only average. Perhaps his previous wins were just due to luck.
"Should we continue?" Chen Xiaoan asked.
He was simply asking a question, but Liu Shengrui saw it as a blatant provocation.
We were actually provoked!
Liu Shengrui was not about to give up easily, and stubbornly said, "One more time, let's continue!"
"good."
The third installment: no miracle occurred.
Liu Shengrui's fingers were already in pain from the second flick, so he toned it down a bit in the third flick and still managed to get his best score. Unfortunately, Chen Xiaoan performed even better in the third flick, securing the victory.
"Xiao'an won! I told you, Xiao'an is the best! Now you're all convinced, right? Humph!"
The children across the street were shouting.
Although the top players were extremely dissatisfied, the results of the competition were undeniable, and they couldn't cheat.
Winning and losing is normal; you can win it back later. But if you cheat, everyone will know that you are a sore loser, and then your reputation will be ruined, and you'll lose face.
"Hmph, you guys are good. Our Xiao Rui just didn't perform well. If we had to do it again—" Hao Cheng said stubbornly, saying he was convinced, but actually he was still not convinced.
"Why should I? A loser is a loser. Are you trying to cheat me?"
"Who cheated? Didn't you say you were the best?"
"Are you convinced?"
"I refuse to accept this!"
The two children were each saying something, and it looked like they were about to start arguing.
Liu Shengrui stood there, his anger burning ever brighter. He felt his rage about to burst forth as he glared hatefully at Chen Xiaoan.
Everyone was praising him, so why did Chen Xiaoan make him lose as soon as he arrived?
Liu Shengrui hates losing; he's the best!
"Alright, stop arguing. The match is over, and I won—"
Chen Xiaoan intended to stop the argument between the two sides, but before he could finish speaking, he felt a sudden stagger as someone pushed him hard from behind, and he almost fell.
"Who?!" Chen Xiaoan turned around in shock and anger, only to find that the person who pushed her was Liu Shengrui. "What are you doing? You lost, so what? What do you mean by pushing me?"
"Get away from me!" Liu Shengrui shouted, attempting to use his Iron Head Kung Fu to headbutt Chen Xiaoan.
"Do you want to fight?" Chen Xiaoan dodged him.
But he wasn't afraid of Liu Shengrui. Back then, he was a mischievous kid who struck fear into the hearts of other children. He was quite skilled at fighting, but as he got older and more sensible, he wasn't as unruly as before.
But now that Liu Shengrui has taken the initiative to declare war and provoke him, he cannot stand idly by and take a beating.
"I'll beat you to death!" Liu Shengrui shouted, and charged forward again.
Chen Xiaoan began to fight back.
At first, the two were just fighting hand-to-hand.
"Stop fighting!" The surrounding children were stunned. It was clearly just a competition, how did it turn into a fight?
"You're shameless, you can't accept defeat, and you even resort to violence after losing!"
"Exactly, you bunch of scoundrels! You're all scoundrels! You have the nerve to hit others after losing, shame on you!"
