"They're clearly out having fun, but some people just have to show off, even bringing their books here to read... as if they're afraid others won't know they're students of Fengya Academy." A man next to Zhuang Fei quickly chimed in.
"Why are you reading books when you're out having fun? You bookworm."
"Studying so hard, I wonder if I can become the top scholar in the imperial examination."
Zhuang's silk business was thriving, and Zhuang Fei had many people currying favor with him.
Lu Yanqing's eyes flickered slightly, and he closed the book in his hand. He walked to another place, finding a quiet spot away from Zhuang Fei and the others.
Zhuang Fei felt a surge of resentment when he saw that Lu Yanqing was completely ignoring him.
It felt like punching cotton.
A friend next to him reached out and patted Zhuang Fei on the shoulder.
“I just hit the bullseye, Zhuang Fei, you’ve got it.”
A friend next to him reached out and handed Zhuang Fei a finely crafted bow and arrow.
Zhuang Fei picked it up and weighed it in his hand, then lifted it up and reached into the quiver next to him to take an arrow.
Zhuang Fei drew his bow to its fullest extent, the bowstring taut.
He squinted slightly. Behind the target, there was a tree, quite far away... but he was confident he could shoot it.
Lu Yanqing ignored himself and his elder brother, who had blamed him for what happened last time.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, feeling a lump of anger stuck in his chest, unable to be exhaled or swallowed.
He was determined to teach Lu Yanqing a lesson! He wanted to show Lu Yanqing that Zhuang Fei was not someone to be trifled with!
Zhuang Fei is the second son of the family. He has been the center of attention since childhood. Now that the Zhuang family is extremely wealthy, Zhuang Fei is even more pampered.
Zhuang Fei's grades were average, and he was never scolded by his teachers.
Lu Yanqing's behavior, which was different from everyone else's, stung Zhuang Fei's eyes.
How dare a mere son-in-law, a scholar, look down on me?
She recalled how Lu Yanqing ignored her.
Zhuang Fei tightened the string in his hand, and the exquisite longbow was drawn into a smooth semi-circle.
The people next to him looked surprised.
"Zhuang Fei, your sword is positioned incorrectly; it won't hit the bullseye..." a classmate beside him reminded him.
But before he could finish speaking, a whooshing sound came through the air.
Zhuang Fei loosened his grip, and the arrow shot out of the air.
But the arrows weren't aimed at the target... they were aimed at Lu Yanqing, who was reading a book under the big tree.
Those nearby didn't even have time to react before the arrow flew towards the person under the tree.
As luck would have it... it was aimed directly at Lu Yanqing's heart.
However, Lu Yanqing knew nothing about this.
The sword is behind me...
Everyone present could probably imagine the miserable state Lu Yanqing would be in.
At the critical moment, suddenly, Lu Yanqing's nostrils were filled with the familiar scent of hibiscus.
Wen Nan suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yanqing, grabbed Lu Yanqing's arm, and with a strength that Lu Yanqing felt like she was about to fly away.
The arrow grazed past Wen Nan's ear, cleanly severing a strand of her hair.
The arrow was planted in the ground.
A moment of silence.
On the lush green grass, that strand of black hair unexpectedly caught the eye.
Arrows with feathers are also particularly eye-catching.
"Are you alright?" Wen Nan immediately looked Lu Yanqing up and down.
If Lu Yanqing dies, she won't be able to live either.
"It's nothing," Lu Yanqing said, pursing her lips.
People gathered around, and Zhang Ruyu ran over as well.
Looking at Zhuang Fei holding the arrow, it was clear that Zhuang Fei had done something good.
"What are you doing, you little brat? Trying to kill me to cover it up? Zhuang Fei, do you want to go to jail?" Zhang Ruyu stepped forward and grabbed Zhuang Fei's shirt, unable to hold back his curses.
"You want to kill someone?" Zhang Ruyu couldn't help but punch Zhuang Fei in the face.
