Of course Chen Nian failed to hit the target this time.
The sniper rifle's scope has a parallax effect, requiring precise focusing, and the target distance needs to be calculated based on the reticle.
It was Chen Nian's first time touching a gun and he couldn't even get his posture right, so it was a miracle if he could hit the target. Even Shaflay had to practice for several days at the beginning before he slowly found the technique.
But Chen Nian was very happy.
Experiencing new things always makes people happy. Moreover, in today's context of humans fighting against primitive creatures, who doesn't want to be a handsome warrior?
The scene where Shafulai assisted Chen Nian in shooting almost caused a small sensation, starting with verbal guidance, then correcting him personally, and finally hanging above Omega, using his chest to cushion the recoil for him.
Every interaction between the eldest prince and his consort was so loving that it made people's eyes and hearts warm. Even the cadets had their rare girlish hearts aroused, and they couldn't help but make a noise out of envy.
What's more, the princess is the only daughter of Marshal Chen Weiyuan. Now she appears on the training ground and tries shooting herself. Just thinking about it is exciting.
Chen Nian stood up, brushed off the grass debris on his body, and said, "You continue to train, I won't disturb you."
"Okay." Shafulai watched Chen Nian go back to the awning. He calmed himself down and straightened his posture.
But his chest still seemed to retain the feeling of being hit by the boy's back, and Chen Nian's muffled groan lingered in his mind.
Shafley couldn't help but wonder what Chen Nian meant by the last sentence "Not bad".
Was it to express satisfaction with the cushioning effect his chest provided, or something else?
After all, Chen Nian did not hit the target.
The one-hour training ended quickly while Shafley was lost in thought.
The results of this class are very good.
Shafley went to change his clothes. He was sweating all over. In order to avoid Chen Nian's disgust, he quickly took a two-minute shower.
By the time Shafla and Antonio came out of the locker room, Chen Nian was so bored that he was playing with the bullet shells he had picked up in the lobby.
Deep in the drawer of the bedside cabinet in the White Tower lay a similar brass dice shell, which Shaflay had given to Chen Ci as a test.
Seeing that Shafulai had finally finished, Chen Nian collected the bullet casing, put it in his pocket, and stood up.
Usually after class, Shafley would have lunch with Antonio before going home. Today, Chen Nian was with them. Although Shafley didn't want Chen Nian and Antonio to spend time together, he still asked, "Do you want to have lunch together?"
Chen Nian nodded: "Okay."
Antonio smiled and said, "Should I say that it is my honor to have lunch with the two princes?"
Seeing this, Shafley suddenly felt a little regretful for asking more questions.
Originally, it would not matter if he took Chen Nian directly back to the palace.
Shafla and Antonio had always eaten in the cafeteria at the training ground, but now that Chen Nian was following them, they specifically asked for a private room.
Upon hearing that the princess was coming, the chef in the cafeteria prepared lunch for them.
Chen Nian and Shafulai sat side by side, Antonio was sitting opposite Shafulai, the three of them were eating and chatting. To be more precise, it was mainly Antonio and Chen Nian chatting, while Shafulai was listening quietly on the side.
Antonio asked Chen Nian: "After attending classes with the two of us for a whole morning, aren't you a little tired?"
"It's OK. Actually, I don't really understand anything and I didn't do much." Chen Nian paused and smiled. "Normally, there's no one to talk to. I'm quite happy to be out today."
"You can ask Shafley to take you out more often in the future." Antonio smiled. "Last time I invited you to go to the Global Ocean Base, you said you would wait two days. Do you want to go now?"
"Well." Chen Nian said embarrassedly, "I wasn't in a particularly good mood that day. To be honest, I felt bad after rejecting you. I would like to trouble you two to come to the White Tower in person to invite me."
Antonio: "Why should friends be so polite? Whenever you want to go, Shafley and I will be there to accompany you."
Shafley also wanted to join in the conversation, but seeing the two people beside him talking happily, he always felt that he was redundant.
For the first time, he even wondered why Antonio talked so much. Couldn't he just say less?
In the midst of the feast, Chen Nian had to pay attention to his manners. In front of outsiders, he had to eat elegantly.
After exchanging identities with Chen Ci, Chen Nian'e made up for many royal etiquettes and behaved quite decently.
It's just that the pretense and airs are tiring. If it were just him and Shaflay, they wouldn't have to worry about so much.
But correspondingly, the fun you can get will be much less.
Now it seems that Antonio has already stepped half a foot into his trap and was completely deceived by the illusion he showed.
Chen Nian knew that such a playboy usually had strong self-confidence and would not easily doubt too much. After all, he was a veteran who had been traveling among Omegas for a long time and had long regarded himself as a hunter.
The existence of information asymmetry would give Antonio a huge illusion, making him think that the princess, who had been living in a loveless environment, could be easily moved by him.
Let him be more determined.
Chen Nian was cutting the tender steak on the plate, and moved his legs under the table forward, and a little further forward, and "accidentally" touched Antonio's shoes diagonally opposite him.
Antonio immediately raised his head. He first glanced at Shaflay, then saw that the eldest prince was concentrating on eating. He realized that it was not Shaflay, so he shifted his gaze to the side.
Chen Nian was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected to kick Antonio.
He was distracted for a moment, then lowered his head as if to remain calm, but he used even more force with the knife to cut the steak.
Antonio thought it was just an accidental collision, but a few seconds later, his foot was kicked again in the same way.
The force was very light, full of temptation.
Antonio grasped the meaning almost instantly.
He looked at Chen Nian in disbelief, and saw that the boy's white neck and ears had turned red, and his naughty feet under the table quickly shrank back like a snail whose tentacles were touched.
This reaction was so adorable that Antonio almost laughed out loud in his heart.
Sure enough, everything was exactly as he had imagined.
Years of insensitivity to pheromones and Shable's indifference have broken Chen Ci's heart. He is at the best age and is such a top-notch Omega, but he has to endure the torture of being a widower.
He also wants an Alpha who is gentle, considerate and can take care of him.
Antonio didn't know which moment had moved Chen Ci. In his opinion, he hadn't even used his full strength yet, but he had already made the little Omega unable to control himself.
Antonio's lips curled up into a slight smile. He picked up the cup casually, stretched out the foot that had been touched by Chen Nian, and glanced at Chen Nian's reaction out of the corner of his eye.
He touched the tip of the boy's shoe and deliberately rolled it lightly, as if he had some inexplicable feelings, but he could only remain restrained.
Chen Ci... Chen Ci, he had no reaction at all.
Maybe I haven't shown it clearly enough?
Antonio increased his force.
At this moment, the foot that he was rubbing gently was suddenly retracted, and Shafulai on the opposite side raised his head, misty.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Antonio was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he had been teasing Shafla's feet.
No wonder Chen Ci didn’t respond!
But he was clearly reaching in the direction where Chen Ci had just withdrawn! How could he have bumped into Shaflay?
Shafley: ?
He looked at Antonio, then at Chen Nian beside him.
"It's okay." Antonio pretended to be calm.
Are you really okay?
Shaffley frowned suspiciously, and faced with his brother's unexpected stepping on his foot as if teasing, he said nothing in the end and continued to eat with his head down.
He always felt that something bad had happened because he and Chen Nian were sitting on the sofa together, and at this moment the sofa was shaking like a small earthquake.
As the source of the tremors, Chen Nian tried desperately to hold back his laughter, and his hands were shaking.
If there weren't other people around, he would have wanted to slap his thigh and laugh out loud.
This is so funny! How can such a funny thing happen?
But in Antonio's opinion, Chen Nian suddenly fell into great panic, even his expression became tense and his fingers kept shaking.
This look made Antonio feel even more distressed.
Chen Nian was trying so hard to hold back his laughter that he hurt himself. Just as he was about to burst out laughing, he stood up and said softly, "I'm going to the bathroom."
Shafulai stood up to make way for Chen Nian. Chen Nian left the box and walked quickly to the bathroom. On the way, he couldn't help laughing out loud.
After Chen Nian left, Shafla and Antonio in the box were silent for ten seconds each.
Shafulai sighed inwardly and put down his cutlery: "Wait for me a moment."
He left the box and walked towards the bathroom. As soon as he reached the door, he heard Chen Nian's uncontrollable laughter.
There was no one else in the bathroom at this time. Shafley leaned against the door and raised his hand to knock on it.
Chen Nian, who was standing in front of the sink, heard the sound, turned around, with a smile still on his face.
"What are you laughing at?" asked Shafley.
Chen Nian looked down and noticed the black marks on Shafulai's shoes. His voice trembled, "Guess."
Shafla was no fool. From Antonio and Chen Nian's reactions, he guessed roughly the same thing.
He felt somewhat helpless, but more than that, he was filled with indescribable anger.
Angry that Antonio had secretly seduced Chen Nian without telling him.
In his opinion, the young girl is Chen Ci's identity, and that is his fiancée!
He is such a big living person and he is sitting right opposite me!
He couldn't understand. He and Antonio had known each other since childhood and had been friends for more than ten years. How could Anton do such a thing?
Even if Chen Nianxian did it on purpose, if Anton didn't have that kind of intention, it wouldn't have turned out like this.
Chen Nian noticed Shafulai's gloomy expression and was almost done laughing. He rubbed his stiff cheeks, took a step forward and patted Shafulai on the shoulder.
"You're welcome."
Shafla knew what he meant.
Chen Nian: "It's not a big deal, unless you only have this one friend, then it's a bit tragic."
The words of comfort seemed to have little effect.
Shafley took a deep breath and said, "You are to Anton..."
"Just for fun." Chen Nian said casually, "Although it's quite interesting, I don't like an Alpha who can cheat on his brothers."
Shafley pursed his lips, temporarily skipping this headache-inducing and stomach-wrenching topic, and asked, "How does your arm feel?"
The recoil of a sniper rifle is very strong. It was Chen Nian's first time using it, so his arms must have been numb.
"It's okay, just still a little soft."
Shafley reached out and pressed hard somewhere on Chen Nian's shoulder blade.
Chen Nian almost cried out in pain. He was about to ask Shaflay what he was doing, but he found that after Alpha let go, his two arms felt like blood was returning and the soreness and swelling were relieved a lot.
"What about this?"
"...Much better." Chen Nian moved his arms. "Next time, could you please let me know in advance? At least I can be mentally prepared."
Finally, a smile appeared in Shafley's eyes. He remained quiet for a few seconds and said softly, "Go back."
