She had already shot ten arrows, and every single one of them missed the target, which was worse than the performance of most of the girls in the class.
Ming Xiaoxiao was so anxious that a thin layer of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose, and she stubbornly refused to leave the field to rest.
Hearing Xie Li's words, she took a deep breath, her eyes stubborn: "No need, thank you."
She felt that Xie Li needed Jiang Baili's guidance and help more than she did.
"I heard that Jiang Baili tutored you before?" Ming Xiaoxiao tucked her sweaty hair behind her ear. "You shouldn't be so stubborn. Let Jiang Baili teach you."
Ming Xiaoxiao smiled and added, "After all, you didn't go to school much before, so you don't know anything. Archery can't be done by brute force alone."
It seems like she really just mentioned it casually.
Su Ying tapped the bow and arrow with a snap, then looked up coldly: "Xie Li already said it's not necessary. Just mind your own business."
Ming Xiaoxiao bit her lip in grievance after being rebuked by her.
Xie Li spoke to her first, so why can't she speak to Xie Li back?
Su Ying and her friends are being far too domineering!
"I'm doing this for Xie Li's own good, I..." She wanted to say that if the force was not right, it would damage her shoulder, since her shoulder was already a little sore.
Xie Li is a barbarian who only knows how to use brute force; he might seriously strain his shoulder...
However, a gasp completely interrupted her speech.
Ming Xiaoxiao turned her head and looked over blankly. What had happened?
Xie Li withdrew his hand, glanced at the target indifferently, then turned to look at Ming Xiaoxiao seriously, "Thank you for your concern."
Ming Xiaoxiao had already recovered from the discussions around her. Looking at the target in the distance, she saw an arrow hitting the bullseye—a perfect ten!
Xie Li's "thank you for your concern" sounded like he was deliberately mocking her for meddling.
Ming Xiaoxiao's face turned red, as if she had been slapped.
Su Ying said coolly, "I've already said, Xie Li doesn't need you. You should mind your own business!"
She didn't care whether Ming Xiaoxiao was embarrassed or not. She acted like a pure white lotus rising from the mud, but who was she trying to impress?
She's shot so many arrows, but I've never seen her hit the target even once. How dare she say Xie Li doesn't know anything?
Where did this shamelessness come from?
The scene was silent. The boys who usually stood up for Ming Xiaoxiao were unusually quiet and didn't immediately jump out to speak for her. Jiang Yifan had just walked away.
Ming Xiaoxiao's eyes were a little red. She felt that Su Ying had misunderstood her. Couldn't she just listen to her explanation?
"So you can shoot arrows? Oh, you're so familiar with Jiang Baili, she must have taught you beforehand, right? Sorry, I didn't think of that."
Jiang Baili, who was watching from the sidelines, did not expect such a reversal.
She hesitated for a moment, which others would interpret as tacit agreement.
Ming Xiaoxiao became even more convinced that since Xie Li had already learned it, why didn't he say anything and deliberately let people misunderstand?
Xie Li looked bewildered: "Huh? Jiang Baili didn't teach me. This is my first time shooting arrows."
The room fell silent after those words were spoken.
Su Ying chuckled: "Rely on brute force? Sorry, Xie Li is highly talented. He doesn't rely on brute force, nor does he rely on being taught." That's how cool and aloof she is.
Jiang Baili and Ming Xiaoxiao's faces flushed instantly, with Ming Xiaoxiao's face turning even redder, almost as if it were about to bleed.
"Although Xie Li doesn't need my teaching, her archery posture is still problematic. She can't hit every shot like that." Jiang Baili forced herself to save face, took the bow and arrow from the girl next to her, explained the key points, and then shot out with a bang. The arrow hit the bullseye, a perfect 10!
This is very convincing, after all, everyone just saw Xie Li shoot the arrow very casually, with a relaxed posture, which really seemed like it was his first time playing archery.
