Han Bing stood there, staring intently at him. Although Han Bing was not even as tall as Han Feng's shoulder, her aura was absolutely overwhelming.
Han Feng sighed helplessly and turned around reluctantly.
After Han Feng stood still, Qiu Mang suddenly loosened her grip on the rubber band. In an instant, everyone tensed up and dared not breathe.
Han Feng closed his eyes tightly, quietly waiting for the pain that would come from somewhere. The wind whistled past his ears, and almost at the same moment, with a loud bang, the apple fell to the ground.
He stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the apple that had fallen in front of him, marveling: This woman, she actually did it?
Lu Yanting's lips curled into a wide smile; he knew this would be the outcome!
Looking at the crowd, everyone was frowning and sighing. They had all placed bets and had suffered huge losses.
When Qiu Mang handed the slingshot to Han Feng again, Han Feng was still a little stunned. He still couldn't believe that this woman had actually done it!
"Han Feng! You're no good! You were completely outshone by a woman. I thought you were so amazing!" someone in the crowd shouted.
Han Feng, who had been hanging his head, suddenly looked up as if he had just remembered something.
"Hey, tell me, how did you do that? You must have gotten incredibly lucky, right?" Han Feng reached out and grabbed Qiu Mang's arm tightly, pressing him with intense emotion.
Qiu Mang looked at him with a complicated expression, but didn't say anything.
In Han Feng's eyes, Qiu Mang's attitude clearly showed that she looked down on him and disdained to communicate with him. Now, Han Feng was completely enraged. "Hey, what do you mean? You look down on me, right? No way, I have to have a match with you!"
Qiu Mang gazed at Han Feng and said softly, "Young Master Han, there's really no need for that."
Han Feng wouldn't listen to a word. He strode forward, spreading his arms to block Qiu Mang. "No! You can't leave. I'm going to fight this match!"
Qiu Mang shook his head helplessly and sighed softly, "It's meaningless."
In his haste, Han Feng blurted out, "If you beat me, I'll give you this slingshot, how about that?"
Qiu Mang froze, then asked, "Didn't you always treasure this slingshot? You're just giving it away so easily?"
Han Feng had no idea that Qiu Mang could win, and his face was full of indifference as he waved his hand and said, "Of course! I always keep my word!"
Qiu Mang raised an eyebrow and replied crisply, "Okay!"
The venue, originally intended for playing Truth or Dare, was instantly transformed into a slingshot competition arena.
Upon hearing that the two were going to have a showdown, Hua Xiao somehow gathered a few balloons and lined them up in an open space.
After everything was set up, he clapped his hands and shouted, "Alright! Gentlemen, please begin your exciting duel!"
Someone started whistling at the top of their lungs, trying to liven things up, and the scene became incredibly noisy and bustling.
Han Feng gripped the slingshot, reached into his pocket with his other hand, pulled out a few small plastic balls, and fired five shots in quick succession, each one hitting its target perfectly.
"Alright! Your turn! Since you're a girl, I'll give you two extra balls." Han Feng pulled out seven more small plastic balls from his pocket and stuffed them into Qiu Mang's hand without saying a word.
Qiu Mang took the small balls, picked out three, and made as if to launch them all at once. Seeing this, Han Feng quickly reached out to stop her, "Miss Qiu, that's not how you play with a slingshot..."
Before Han Feng could finish speaking, Qiu Mang swiftly launched the ball from his slingshot. In an instant, the three balloons on the scene exploded with a series of loud "bangs!" that made everyone's eardrums vibrate.
Immediately afterwards, Qiu Mang took the remaining four bullets in his hand and fired them all at once, the movements were so smooth that each one still hit the target accurately.
The astonishing scene before them left everyone breathless, and the room fell into a deathly silence. Eyes widened in disbelief and astonishment; this… this was incredible!
Hua Xiao narrowed his long, narrow eyes slightly, staring intently at the balloons that had all been popped. He couldn't help but murmur softly, "Wow, you can play like that? Amazing..." His tone was full of surprise and admiration.
Lu Yanting casually rested his hands behind his head, watching Qiu Mang show off his skills with a proud expression on his face.
"Young Master Han, then I won't stand on ceremony!" Qiu Mang played with the slingshot in his hand, deliberately waving it in front of Han Feng, a playful smile curving his lips.
"etc!"
Upon seeing this, Han Feng's face instantly turned pale, completely losing his previous arrogance. He pleaded in a low voice, "Um, Miss Qiu, I acted impulsively just now. I'll buy you a brand new slingshot just like it, okay? This slingshot is really important to me, could you..."
As he spoke, he lowered his head in shame. This dignified man, who had spoken so boldly before, was now trying to back out in a humble manner. He himself felt embarrassed.
Qiu Mang was about to put the slingshot in his pocket, but seeing Han Feng's appearance, he stopped and stared at the embarrassed man with great interest.
She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Important? Just how important? If you can tell me the story of this slingshot, I'll give it back to you; otherwise, forget it!"
This was the first time Han Feng had seen Qiu Mang so resolute, and he was at a loss for what to do.
He looked into Qiu Mang's eyes, his lips moved with difficulty, he hesitated, but in the end he couldn't utter a single word.
Seeing this, Qiu Mang deftly put away the slingshot. "Alright! I'll keep this slingshot for you for now. If you want it back later, just bring the story to redeem it from me!"
After saying that, she turned around gracefully and returned to her seat.
Hua Xiao glanced at Han Feng's dejected appearance, a smug smile creeping onto his lips. He teased, "Han Feng has really lost big this time!"
Lu Yanting, however, remained unconcerned and snorted coldly, saying, "He asked for it!"
"Tsk tsk tsk... Yan Ting, I have to say, you really value women over friends! Han Feng is our brother who grew up together, how can you talk about him like that?" Hua Xiao frowned, pretending to be dissatisfied as he scolded.
"Hmph, he's only alive because he's my brother. If he weren't my brother, I would have dealt with him long ago!" Lu Yanting said, arms crossed, his tone forceful.
Hua Xiao looked at Han Feng, who seemed to have lost his soul, with a puzzled expression. "Yan Ting, Han Feng isn't acting right! It's just a slingshot he lost, he can just buy a new one, why is he so upset?"
