Chapter 229 Archery Practice!
"It's because you taught me well." Xu Wang was happy and didn't forget to praise Pei Yanchuan.
Pei Yanchuan's expression softened even more upon hearing Xu Wang's words.
The coach, watching the two gazing lovingly at each other, couldn't help but sigh, "These two have such a good relationship."
[All is well, all is well, you are all well!]
[President Pei is so skilled! From this angle, it looks like he's embracing his wife from behind.]
[I'm totally shipping them! I'm totally shipping them!]
[This is like a historical romance drama coming to life! I'm eating, I'm eating, I'm eating and eating!]
[My wife's ears turned pink! (shy)]
……………………
Xu Wang's group is progressing very smoothly, but the other groups are not doing so well.
Although Qin Huai had seen Gu Yunlan shoot arrows and film countless times over the years, this was the first time he had ever touched a bow and arrow with his own hands.
Qin Huai stiffly drew the bow, and at the coach's command, he released the arrow with his right hand. Perhaps due to insufficient strength, the arrow fell to the ground after flying only five meters.
Qin Huai looked slightly shocked when he saw the arrow not far from his feet.
Gu Yunlan seemed to notice that his wife's expression was off, so he quickly cheered her on from the side.
"Honey, it's okay, I'm here for you." Gu Yunlan comforted Qin Huai by wrapping her arms around his waist.
Qin Huai watched as Gu Yunlan tried again after hearing her words, this time increasing the pressure on his hands.
Gu Yunlan looked at his wife, who had a serious expression in front of her, and silently checked on him. When she found that he was still a little weak, Gu Yunlan silently held his right hand and gently pulled it back a little.
Qin Huai felt the movement in his hand and silently turned his head to look at him.
Gu Yunlan smiled and winked at Qin Huai.
Seeing this, Qin Huai turned back. He aimed at the target in front of him, silently counted to three, and released his right hand. This time, although his arrow did not hit the bullseye, it hit the edge of the target.
"Wife, you're amazing! You hit the target on your second try, the first time you learned archery. Back then, it took me 10 arrows to barely hit the target." Gu Yunlan was even happier to see Qin Huai hit the target than if he had hit it himself, and he clapped excitedly.
Qin Huai put down his bow and arrow, turned around, and couldn't help but chuckle as he listened to Gu Yunlan's words. The other man's words were far too exaggerated. He had personally accompanied Gu Yunlan when he first learned horseback archery. Even setting aside horseback riding, Gu Yunlan did indeed take 10 shots before hitting the target, but that was before his formal lessons, when he was figuring things out on his own. After the professional instructor explained the techniques and movements, Gu Yunlan's first arrow landed very close to the bullseye, and the instructor even praised him for his talent.
[These days, Gu Yingdi is like a wife-praising machine~(ˉ▽ˉ~).]
[Actor Gu and his wife definitely dote on each other. Actor Gu spoils her openly, while his wife spoils her meticulously.]
[That's right, the chemistry between these two is practically overflowing from the screen.]
[If I hadn't seen the video of Gu Yingdi's riding and archery coach praising him before, I would have actually believed it. (covers mouth and chuckles)]
[Exactly! Director Zhang previously said that he most enjoyed filming horseback riding and archery scenes with Actor Gu, because they always got it right in one take, which was very convenient.]

Hou Yunqi and Xia Yu were both trying archery for the first time, so they listened very attentively to the coach's explanation.
The coach didn't hold back, carefully explaining some important points to the two people in front of him and demonstrating some professional movements.
Hou Yunqi has a very strong learning ability. After listening to and watching the video once, he tried to pick up the bow and arrow on the table in front of him and learn from the coach how to nock the arrow and draw the string. With a slight exertion in his arm, the muscles in Hou Yunqi's arm gradually tightened, which made his already smooth muscle lines even more obvious.
Xia Yu seemed to struggle when he drew the bow; after the bow was drawn, his arms and even his whole body trembled noticeably.
At the coach's command, the two released their grips simultaneously, and Hou Yunqi's arrow shot out rapidly, whistling as it landed firmly on the target.
Xia Yu encountered an unexpected situation. Because he was a little nervous, he panicked when he heard the coach speak and accidentally let go of the wrong hand, causing his arrow to fail to fly and his left hand to slip out of the bow.
Xia Yu stared blankly at the arrow in her hand, seemingly not understanding why it was still in her possession.
Hou Yunqi was also startled. He quickly put down his bow and turned to look at Xia Yu beside him. Hou Yunqi placed his hands on Xia Yu's shoulders and carefully checked him over. Only after confirming that Xia Yu was not injured did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Xia Yu looked at Old Hou's furrowed brows and couldn't help but reach out to gently smooth them.
"You scared me," Hou Yunqi said worriedly, hugging Xia Yu.
"It's alright, it's alright." Upon hearing Hou Yunqi's weak voice, Xia Yu quickly put down the bow in his hand. He spread his arms as wide as possible, trying to hug Hou Yunqi, who was much bigger than him.
In the footage, Xia Yu is seen straining from head to toe, trying to wrap his slender body around the strong man in front of him. However, his excessive force makes his expression on camera look slightly 'ferocious'.
[Haha, Yuyu is so cute! She was so nervous that she let go of the wrong hand.]
[Bow: ? ? ? Do you think this is right?]
[Haha, even the bow is stunned.]
[Old Hou really cares about Yu Yu so much, it made my nose tingle. (bites a handkerchief)]
[Yuyu, are you trying to make me laugh until I die? Hahaha.]
[Add one more YuYu emoji to the collection; emoji pack - going all out with a ferocious expression.]
[Haha, two more emojis! The emoji is so powerful, even the strands of hair are straining!]
[Haha, you netizens really know how to do things!]
……………………
Yunxi and Jiang Xiubai are also practicing intensively.
Yunxi listened attentively to the coach's explanation. He placed the arrow on the bow and slowly pulled it back. As soon as he let go, the arrow did not fly out, but instead fell directly off the bow.
Immediately, Jiang Xiubai and the coach next to him turned to look at him.
A silence was spreading through the air.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Xiubai released the arrow from his hand, and whoosh! The arrow landed steadily on the target.
In just over ten minutes, Jiang Xiubai had almost filled the round target in front of him with his shots.
"It was an accident, it was an accident. Let me try again. I'm sure I can shoot the arrow this time, believe me." Yunxi said, stubbornly nocking the arrow on the bow again.
"Are you sure?" Jiang Xiubai raised an eyebrow in disbelief upon hearing Yunxi's words.
"Of course, I can definitely do it this time." Yunxi used even more force this time. He confidently released his right hand, and perhaps because of the angle, the arrow flew straight towards the ground. Sure enough, the arrow landed steadily in the ground about a meter away from Yunxi.
“This…” Jiang Xiubai looked at the arrow not far away with a complicated expression.
Although Yunxi was a little embarrassed, he insisted that he wasn't embarrassed, but others were: "You, just tell me whether it flew out or not."
“It flew away.” Jiang Xiubai nodded.
"That's right! I didn't fly the first time, but I flew 1 meter the second time. So I can fly 2 meters the third time, and 3 meters the fourth time. If I practice a few more times, I'll hit the target sooner or later." Yunxi became more and more confident as she spoke. Yes, that's definitely it.
Yunxi confidently raised her bow again. A few minutes later, ten more arrows appeared on the grass, but the target in the distance was still empty.
After shooting the last arrow, Yunxi turned around in an emo manner, his back to Jiang Xiubai and the camera, squatting on the grass with his knees drawn up to his chest and drawing circles with his hands.
Why is this happening? Why is this happening? Why is this happening...?
Jiang Xiubai wanted to laugh, but when he sensed Yunxi's unhappiness, his smile instantly vanished.
Jiang Xiubai silently walked over to Yunxi and squatted down. He raised his right hand to pat her shoulder in a comforting gesture, but just as his hand was about to touch Yunxi's shoulder, he hesitated and stopped.
"Um, don't make it too hard for me..." Jiang Xiubai took a deep breath, and just as he was about to put his hand on hers, Yunxi next to him suddenly stood up again.
"I don't believe it, let's try again!" Yunxi picked up his bow and arrow, his body once again filled with intense fighting spirit, as if he wasn't the one who had just been acting strangely.
Jiang Xiubai was still squatting in the same spot, his raised right hand still hanging in mid-air. Jiang Xiubai slowly tugged at the corner of his mouth, then quickly pulled his right fist back.
Yun! Xi! You really are a little liar!
The cameraman, holding up his camera, couldn't help but shrug when he saw this.
[Haha, Yunxi has successfully made Jiang Xiubai's hands unsure of what to do. (bursts into laughter)]
[This live stream teaches us that we can't wait to do anything, especially when it comes to something as important as comforting our wives. (Seriously)]
[That's right, that's right. If you hadn't comforted him sooner, he wouldn't need you anymore.]
[Please refer to Jiang Xiubai's case study.]
[Hahahaha, Jiang Xiubai, don't look, these are all negative comments.]
