Chapter 658 When did I lie to you?
Seeing his naive expression, Yue Qing couldn't help but remind him, "You were just practicing with a stationary target. When it comes to moving targets, you..."
“But you’re also competing against a moving target, so it’s fair.” Xingxing’s eyes were full of eagerness. “I’ve wanted to try this game for a long time. Today, I’ve finally met my match.”
After speaking, he took a horse stance and stood in the middle of the field. Compared to his casualness when he was shooting arrows, his little face now showed a serious and earnest expression.
Unconsciously, Yueyue's palms were sweating as she watched from the side.
"Brother, keep going!" she whispered, trying to encourage him, but she met Le Qing's sudden gaze and immediately covered her mouth in fright.
Le Qing pursed her lips, wondering to herself: Am I that fierce? Why does the doll seem so afraid of me?
Then, the star finally shot out a delicate red pebble. With a crisp sound, the pebble left a bright red mark on the white moving target.
Without the staff announcing the numbers, everyone saw the extra spot on the eighth or ninth ring road and spontaneously burst into enthusiastic applause.
This child has a bright future ahead of him.
That's amazing!
The competition rules are as follows: there are ten moving targets and ten stones. The person who hits the most targets and gets the most rings wins.
Xingxing got into the zone, and all seven targets after that were bullseyes.
"Ten targets, ten hits, a total of 98 rings." The staff member took a deep breath, his loud voice filled with sighs, "When the youth are strong, the nation is strong. These children are our future and hope."
Thunderous applause erupted.
With such an increased level of difficulty as the moving target setup, even an Olympic champion couldn't guarantee hitting the bullseye every time.
Moreover, this five-year-old child only studied for half an hour.
The skills required to use a slingshot are no less than those required for archery, and the difficulty is no less.
That's already incredibly impressive.
The applause and encouragement from month after month were particularly prominent, for this match

It added countless hours of fun.
Xingxing finished her round and sighed, "I was too nervous at the beginning, otherwise I could have hit the bullseye."
"Brother, you're already amazing. The uncles over there just said that even highly professional athletes can't hit the target every time, and you're still a beginner."
Xingxing was barely comforted, saying, "Although I didn't hit the bullseye, judging from his performance just now, the moving target was more difficult for him."
"Why?" Yueyue asked curiously.
Xingxing glanced at Yueqing and whispered, "He has astigmatism, so aiming at moving targets is much more difficult for him than for me. He probably can't beat me."
Yueyue asked in surprise, "Then why did he suggest shooting at such difficult targets?"
"Hmm..." Xingxing hesitated, "Maybe it's to increase the difficulty, so that a novice like me will make more mistakes."
Yueyue frowned, sensing that something was amiss.
At this moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yue Qing walked onto the field, stared at the trajectory of the moving target for a while, and, imitating Xingxing's previous actions, threw ten stones in a row.
Without even blinking.
The speed was so fast that no one could react in time.
In the audience, Li Tingxi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Le Qing in surprise—good lad! He really has some skills, no wonder he was so confident just now.
"Ten targets, ten hits, a total of 100 rings." The staff's voices were hoarse from shouting, and they wished they could run around the island with a megaphone.
I'm so excited.
I'm so excited.
That's amazing.
Thunderous applause erupted outside.
Yueyue sincerely praised Yueqing: "Brother, you are really amazing! Those pebbles seem to obey you. Wherever you tell them to fly, they fly there."
"Want to learn?" Yue Qing didn't think shooting slingshots was anything to brag about, but seeing the doll's reaction, he felt inexplicably proud. "I can teach you, it's very simple."
Yueyue's eyes lit up: "Can I be as amazing as you?"
Le Qing smiled and said, "A slingshot is light and easier to use than archery, which is more suitable for your arm strength. You're so smart, you'll definitely learn it very well."
“Then I want to learn too…” Yueyue had just finished speaking when Xingxing suddenly stood up and angrily walked to Leqing’s side: “Were you lying to me the whole time?”
Le Qing instantly regained his calm, expressionless demeanor. "When did I lie to you? You agreed to the moving target competition yourself."
"Who told you that?" Xingxing clenched her little fists, her face full of anger at being deceived. "When we were practicing just now, did you not use your full strength at all? Did you deliberately hide your true abilities to make me lower my guard?"
Yue Qing retorted, "How can you blame me for this?"
"I—" Xingxing paused for a moment, then quickly realized, "Yeah, it's my fault for being too careless. I didn't expect you to be such a cunning guy."
He pulled his younger sister aside, saying, "Yueyue, don't play with him, or he might sell you off."
After saying that, the little guy angrily dragged his sister towards the audience, saying threateningly, "You wait. I'll definitely go back and practice hard. When I'm better, we'll have a rematch."
Le Qing followed them up unhurriedly and stood in front of Li Tingxi: "It's a tie, the decision is now in the hands of the little sister."

Li Tingxi spread his hands and said seriously, "Of course, a gentleman keeps his word, I won't interfere with your children's competition."
Le Qing: "At least you have some conscience."
Li Tingxi's lips twitched: Arrogant brat!
Yueyue rested her chin on her hand, looked at her father and brother with a conflicted expression, then looked at her little brother, and suddenly ran up to Leqing and asked, "Brother, you're really good at destroying things in the house, aren't you?"
Yue Qing was stunned for a moment: "??"
"It was the door at home... that door... such a big lock, and you took it apart in one go." Yueyue exaggeratedly gestured a large circle, confirming again, "If you're so good at taking locks, you must be good at everything else too, right?"
The little girl's eyes and tone didn't seem to be blaming him; she was probably just praising him.
Le Qing, unusually ashamed and uneasy about her previous rude act of tearing down the door, said: "Well... it's alright. I'm sorry, I'll compensate you for the door."
Yueyue waved her hand and said generously, "No need. For the third competition, let's have a 'demolition' competition. Xingxing is also good at destroying things at home. Mom says he's a husky, so this is the fairest competition for you guys."
She breathed a sigh of relief, "Yueyue still doesn't want to lie, luckily her brother is good at exposing her lies."
Le Qing was truly dumbfounded.
However, the phrase "Yueyue still doesn't want to lie" kept echoing in his ears, which inexplicably warmed his heart.
That adult must have used some trick to try and cheat in the third round.
However, Princess Yueyue is still very fair.
He didn't misjudge him.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say," Yue Qing said.
Li Tingxi noticed that the boy's eyes were fixed on Yueyue, and he picked up his daughter unhappily: "Then let's go back and start the third competition."
