Jiang Li has a free and easy personality and has been interested in archery and horse riding since childhood.
Her grandparents doted on her very much. They let her do whatever she liked and they never restricted her. That is why, although her parents and brothers were not with her for more than ten years, Jiang Li's childhood was not left with any regrets.
Her grandparents filled that gap for her.
"Ali, you can do this?"
Su Luoluo looked at Jiang Li in surprise.
Jiang Li curled her lips and put the arrow on the string. "My grandfather taught me these things when I was seven years old."
Sound falls——
Whoosh! The arrow shot out with a fierce momentum, and the next three arrows followed closely behind. Not only did they connect with each other, but in the end, they all hit the bull's eye!
"I got it right! Ali got all of them right!"
After seeing the four arrows hitting the bull's eye, Su Luoluo exclaimed and clenched his fists excitedly.
"Ali is amazing! She is worthy of being the daughter of a general!"
Liu Yuexi widened her eyes, looked at Jiang Li with admiration, and gave her a thumbs up without hesitation.
"Oh my god, sister-in-law... Jiang Li can do it!"
Zhou Ziyu glanced at the four arrows on the bull's eye and almost blurted out the word "sister-in-law". Fortunately, Shen Huaixu next to him reacted in time and poked his arm.
Ji Yanchuan crossed his arms over his chest, looked at the heroic figure and exclaimed: "It really is true that a tiger father will have a dog daughter, not to mention that the Jiang family is full of military generals."
"I suddenly realized that this heroic figure is much more pleasing to the eye than those delicate and frail girls."
Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows and agreed: "That's right."
He was impressed by her heroic appearance that day.
Even though he knew that they had a special relationship, he couldn't help but fall deeper and deeper whenever he thought of her appearance.
"Go away, stop looking at her. She is not someone you can dream of!"
Xiao Heng rudely pushed them aside and told them not to stare at Jiang Li anymore.
"Tsk tsk tsk, didn't I realize that Brother Xiao is so protective of this future sister-in-law!"
"Brother Xiao, you are wrong. Jiang Li is Brother Xiao's fiancée and our future sister-in-law. As the saying goes, a brother's wife should not be bullied. Even if we were given a hundred guts, we would not dare to have any desire for her! Who do you think we are!"
"That's right, we call this appreciation. Do you understand?"
Xiao Heng ignored them and picked up the bow and arrow beside him. He shot out five arrows in a row.
Not surprisingly, every one of them hit the bull's eye.
"Excellent! Brother Xiao's archery skills are indeed the best in the academy!"
Wei Lan, who was practicing archery with Si Yao on the other side, clapped his hands proudly when he saw this.
Si Yao glanced at him and snorted, "What's there to be proud of? Our Ah Li also hit the target just now. It's not certain who has better archery skills!"
"My brother Xiao fired five arrows in a row!"
"That's because our Ah Li didn't use her full strength!"
"Does she dare to compete with my brother Xiao?"
"What's there to be afraid of? Let's compete!"
They are obviously adults, but when they meet, they start fighting like elementary school students. Jiang Li and Xiao Heng, the two parties involved, don't even know what happened, but these two have already made the decision for them, and neither of them is willing to admit defeat.
"Brother Xiao!"
"Ali!"
The two men dropped their bows and arrows and ran over.
"Ali, my good Ali."
After coming to Jiang Li, Si Yao hugged her arm and acted coquettishly.
Jiang Li raised her eyebrows and pointed it out directly: "Tell me, what's the matter."
"Hey, did you figure it out?"
"Yaoyao, you're just about to write the words 'I need help from others' on your face."
Her thoughts were so obvious that even Su Luoluo could see through them.
Si Yao looked at Jiang Li with a flattering expression: "Ah Li, just now Wei Lan boasted that Xiao Heng's archery skills were the best in the academy, and I was so angry that I said a few words to him. Can you...can you compete with Xiao Heng..."
Si Yao's voice became smaller and smaller. She realized belatedly that she had been impulsive and should not have agreed to compete with Xiao Heng on Jiang Li's behalf without obtaining Jiang Li's consent.
Sister, you are my god!
As Xiao Heng's nominal future sister-in-law, Jiang Li had no way of having much interaction with him in public.
Fortunately, Si Yao’s great assist created an opportunity for her!
"Of course, I just happen to want to find someone to spar with."
Jiang Li agreed immediately.
Competing with Xiao Heng? She was looking forward to it! "Really? That's great! Ah Li, we will be there to cheer you on!"
"Come on, Ali!"
After Jiang Li agreed, Si Yao grinned and his eyes widened with excitement.
Over there, Wei Lan had already "convinced" Xiao Heng. He raised his chin slightly and walked towards Si Yao and the others with a smug look on his face.
"Si Yao, our brother Xiao has agreed. How are things going on your end?"
"What a coincidence! Our Ah Li has already agreed!"
Si Yao pinched her waist and raised her chin. Although she was much taller than Wei Lan, she was determined not to lose in terms of momentum! "Do you dare to bet with me? Brother Xiao will definitely win this game!"
"Heh, you're not afraid of biting your tongue when you're talking like that. Our Ah Li won't lose!"
Wei Lan looked down at Si Yao, thinking in his mind: "How about the loser agreeing to a condition from the winner?"
Si Yao rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, let's bet!"
While the two were engaged in a war of words, Xiao Heng and Jiang Li came up to each other with bows and arrows.
Xiao Heng pulled off the jade pendant from his waist and said seriously, "Since they made a bet, why don't we make one too?"
Jiang Li raised her eyebrows and also pulled off the jade pendant from her waist: "Why not?"
"Oh my god, Brother Xiao, you guys are betting so much?"
After seeing the jade pendant in Xiao Heng's hand, Zhou Ziyu's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Don't talk nonsense, take it."
Xiao Heng threw the jade pendant into Zhou Ziyu's hand, blocking his mouth.
"Compared to what?"
Jiang Li and Xiao Heng spoke in unison and looked at Si Yao and Wei Lan beside them.
"Let's see who can shoot ten arrows in the shortest time and have every arrow hit the bull's eye!"
After Si Yao finished speaking, Wei Lan nodded in agreement.
"Ali, come on!"
Su Luoluo handed the quiver to Jiang Li, and Ji Yanchuan also handed the quiver with ten arrows to Xiao Heng.
Jiang Li and Xiao Heng looked at each other, reached for the quiver together, and took out five arrows in tacit understanding.
"start!"
At the command, the two of them pulled the bowstrings together, and in an instant ten arrows flew out at the same time, which was dazzling to watch!
After one wave was shot out, the two picked up the remaining five and shot them out together.
"Actually, the speeds are the same!"
Wei Lan exclaimed, staring at the bull's eye opposite him with wide eyes.
Twenty arrows, all hit the target...
"Ali is awesome!"
Su Luoluo and others started cheering after seeing the result.
It was no secret in the academy that Xiao Heng was good at archery. It was amazing that Ah Li could tie with him! "The speed and the hit rate were exactly the same. This match was a tie!"
Shen Huaixu, who had originally crossed his arms over his chest and believed that Xiao Heng would definitely win, suddenly straightened up and became completely uneasy.
Zhou Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Since the game is a tie, then the bet is naturally..."
Xiao Heng took over his unfinished words: "Of course we have to exchange them."
Xiao Heng: Exchanging tokens with my wife, yeah yeah yeah~
