Chapter 8 Chapter 8 "What a coincidence."
08.
Lu Zhao quickly came to the front of the crowd and saw Jiang Nian wearing a blue and white shooting suit, a black mask covering half of his face, and his eyes behind the goggles were sharp and focused.
Lu Zhao's eyes fell on Jiang Nian with a somewhat deep look. People outside said that the young master of the Jiang family was weak and needed to be carefully cared for, as if he could not withstand any hardships. But after several contacts, Lu Zhao felt that Jiang Nian was completely different from what was said in the rumors.
Jiang Nian is sickly but not weak. He is not a delicate flower that needs to be held in someone's hand and cared for. Instead, he is more like a bamboo beside a mountain stream, full of tenacity and vitality.

Jiang Nian joined the crowd just to watch the fun, but as he watched, he became itchy.
The young man being challenged by several opponents was a skilled fighter, having already dispatched two of them before Jiang Nian arrived. Another round ended, and with no one stepping forward, Jiang Nian stepped forward.
Jiang Nian was thin, with half of his face covered tightly by a mask, but his eyes behind the goggles were shining. The young man did not look down on him. He nodded at him and explained the rules, and the game officially began.
Jiang Nian won. The young man smiled, extended his hand towards Jiang Nian, and praised him sincerely, "Very impressive."
After the young man stepped back, his friend stepped forward. Jiang Nian won again and no one stepped forward for a while.
Jiang Nian was about to put down his gun and leave when he saw a figure appear at the challenge position. Jiang Nian lowered his gaze and the first thing he saw was a pair of long legs wrapped in black and white shooting uniform pants.
Jiang Nian raised his eyes and scanned the man's broad chest, then his sexy Adam's apple, and then met a pair of smiling dark eyes.
Jiang Nian's eyes flashed with surprise, and then his beautiful almond-shaped eyes curved into a crescent shape. He said, "What a coincidence."
Lu Zhao curled his lips and asked, "Why are you here alone? Where's Chen Rong?"
Jiang Nian: "He has something to do at the company and will be back soon."
Lu Zhao picked up the gun on the table and asked, "Come on?"
Jiang Nian's eyes brightened: "Come!"
Jiang Nian hadn't had enough fun to begin with. Lu Zhao was the hero of this story, as good as Chen Rong. Jiang Nian's heart was filled with fighting spirit. If he could defeat Lu Zhao, he would be happy for many days.
The three rounds of shooting competition were tense and exciting, and Lu Zhao won in the end.
This was exactly what Jiang Nian had expected. He didn't feel a bit dissatisfied. He smiled and extended his hand towards Lu Zhao, saying, "Mr. Lu, you're amazing."
Jiang Nian's eyes were clear, with a faint smile in them. When he said this to Lu Zhao, it was not like flattery like others, but pure praise from the heart.
Being stared at by such a pair of eyes, Lu Zhao almost lost control and wanted to hug the person in his arms. He smiled slightly and said, "You are also very powerful. I won by a narrow margin."
Lu Zhao took off his goggles and earmuffs, rejected the challenger who came up to him, and left the crowd with Jiang Nian.
When they were in a quiet place, Jiang Nian said to Lu Zhao, "Thank you."
Lu Zhao asked, "Thank you for what?"
Jiang Nian: "Thank you for not letting me."
He thought of something, feeling a bit helpless and a bit like laughing, "Chen Rong deliberately let me win."
Jiang Nian's last shot failed, hitting an eight-ring. Lu Zhao glanced at him before firing his last shot, and Jiang Nian's heart skipped a beat, worried that Lu Zhao would do the same thing as Shen Rong.
Lu Zhao smiled and nodded: "It's something that Shen Rong would do."
Jiang Nian sighed, "Chen Rong is like this, so gentle."
He knew that Chen Rong treated him like a younger brother and was happy to spoil him, but the competition didn't require that. However, he knew that he couldn't communicate with Chen Rong, so he didn't mention it to him.
Lu Zhao asked: "Why do you think I will let you?"
After all, they had only met three times. Why would Jiang Nian have such an idea?
Jiang Nian said as a matter of course: "Because you are as gentle as Chen Rong, and you are a good person."
Got another nice guy card. When Lu Zhao chose to greet Jiang Nian, he was wondering whether Jiang Nian would give him a nice guy card today. After all, Jiang Nian had given him a nice guy card the two times they met before.
As expected, he received another one today. Lu Zhao couldn't hide the smile on his lips. He looked at Jiang Nian seriously and said, "I won't let you. Your shooting skills are very powerful. You are an opponent worthy of respect."
Jiang Nian was startled, touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed: "What you said is really... so happy."
He said happily: "Next time you see Chen Rong, please help me persuade him. Don't always let me do it. I'm very powerful."
Lu Zhao said, "Okay." He led Jiang Nian into the VIP business box, asked Jiang Nian if he had any dietary restrictions, and told the waiter to bring up desserts and tea.
Soon, chestnut brownie cake and warm strawberry milkshake were served. Jiang Nian took a bite and praised, "Delicious."
Lu Zhao sat down opposite him and had a cup of American coffee after his meal.
The two had only met a few times and were not familiar with each other, but they were not introverted and were not awkward together. Because they had a common friend, Shen Rong, their topic naturally revolved around Shen Rong.
Jiang Nian hadn't thought much of it before, but after meeting Lu Zhao, he realized he had a heart for matchmaking. He wanted Lu Zhao to understand Chen Rong better, so he told him about the fun things he had experienced with Chen Rong when he was a child, and how Chen Rong had taken care of him, praising him to the heavens and the earth.
He was afraid that Lu Zhao would not believe him, so he repeatedly assured that what he said was true and there was no exaggeration.
Lu Zhao is a good listener. He looks at you with a faint smile on his lips, without any impatience.
Jiang Nian said he was thirsty, so he took a sip of milkshake. His lips were light in color, and he had a transparent habit of biting them, which made his lips look soft and moist. Lu Zhao glanced at him and turned his eyes away.
It was a private room for only two people. He didn't want to indulge his lustful thoughts, nor did he want to scare Jiang Nian with his eyes.
Jiang Nian didn't notice the change in Lu Zhao's eyes at all. The more they interacted, the more satisfied he became with Lu Zhao.
He thought that Lu Zhao and Chen Rong were both so outstanding, and his brother was also a child of destiny. If Chen Rong and Lu Zhao were together in the future, there would be three people protecting him. Wouldn't he be able to walk sideways in this world?
