{Chapter: 134 Miss Chi's Perfect Boyfriend!}
Chi Qian didn't dislike physical contact with Lin Yuan. After all, during their recent fight, they had engaged in far more intense interactions than simply adjusting his grip on a gun. Compared to that, this level of contact was nothing.
However, Gao Feiyang, standing not far away, had a different perspective. He arrived just in time to witness Chi Qian standing close to Lin Yuan, carefully and patiently guiding him. Seeing the level of attentiveness and intimacy in her teaching, his expression immediately darkened.
And yet, when Chi Qian noticed his presence, all she said was a casual, "Oh, what a coincidence."
That single indifferent remark was enough to ignite a surge of anger and jealousy within Gao Feiyang.
His gaze locked onto Lin Yuan, and with barely concealed hostility, he pointed at him and asked Chi Qian, "Who is he?"
Hearing the demanding tone in Gao Feiyang's voice, Chi Qian frowned slightly, her expression turning cold. "It has nothing to do with you. Don't bother me. I'm teaching someone right now."
With that, she dismissed him entirely, not sparing him another glance.
Gao Feiyang clenched his fists, his face burning with humiliation and frustration. He stood there for a moment, as if expecting Chi Qian to acknowledge him again. But when she remained indifferent, he could only grit his teeth and storm away.
Meanwhile, Lin Yuan merely watched the scene unfold with a faint smile. He had no intention of interfering.
Instead, he remained focused on Chi Qian's instructions, listening intently as she introduced him to the mechanics of firearms.
He didn't know the details of her relationship with Gao Feiyang, nor was he particularly interested in getting involved.
However, Chi Qian took the initiative to explain, as if sensing his curiosity. "That was Gao Feiyang, a classmate from the same school," she said, her voice calm but slightly exasperated. "I ran into him at the club once, and ever since then, he's been pestering me. Almost every day, he asks my friends or classmates if I'm coming to the club and at what time."
She let out a sigh. "Once or twice would have been fine, but after so many times, it's just annoying."
Lin Yuan chuckled upon hearing that. "Doesn't he know that Miss Chi already has a perfect boyfriend?"
His tone was playful, clearly joking.
The last time Lin Yuan had pretended to be Chi Qian's boyfriend, it had served multiple purposes—not only had it helped her brush off unwanted admirers, but it had also prevented his cousin, Yu Shanshan, from getting embarrassed.
Chi Qian understood his joke and couldn't help but smile. "You did help me a lot last time. Before, Shanshan had to spend an entire day reading through my love letters, but now she just gathers them all and goes through them in a few hours, like she's sorting through her harem."
She laughed lightly before continuing. "Besides, Gao Feiyang doesn't know about you because he wasn't present back then. He still thinks he's better than you. He even goes around boasting and comparing his piano skills to yours every day. Of course, no one pays him any attention, and Shanshan has scolded him multiple times."
She shook her head with a smile. "Human memory is limited. Once the music exhibition is over, those who haven't seen you for a while will slowly forget."
Lin Yuan understood what she meant. Chi Qian was simply too perfect. If he wasn't constantly by her side, then new admirers would keep appearing endlessly.
With a smirk, he said, "It looks like you need actors again, Miss Chi. As long as the pay is high enough, I'm available."
Chi Qian giggled. "I'd love to hire you, but I'm afraid I'm just a poor girl. I don't know if I can afford Young Master Lin's acting fees."
Their conversation remained lighthearted, both of them exchanging amused smiles.
However, in the back of Lin Yuan's mind, he recalled something about Gao Feiyang.
In the original novel, Gao Feiyang had been nothing more than a sycophant, one of the many so-called 'licking dogs' that Ye Feng had humiliated.
It was unsurprising that Chi Qian, with her beauty and status, had a few people like him hovering around her. But with her background and personality, none of them ever stood a chance.
Lin Yuan didn't dwell on it any further.
Instead, he turned his attention back to the task at hand. Under Chi Qian's guidance, he prepared himself to start practice shooting.
Chi Qian demonstrated first.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three consecutive shots rang out.
All three bullets struck the bullseye.
Even though the target was stationary and only 25 meters away, it was still impressive. After all, Chi Qian had fired those shots with effortless precision, without even seeming to take careful aim.
"Miss Chi is very accurate," Lin Yuan remarked with a smile.
Chi Qian merely gave a slight smile. "I was just lucky."
Nearby, Gao Feiyang, who had been pretending to practice shooting, had actually been secretly watching Chi Qian the entire time. When he saw her incredible marksmanship, he clapped his hands exaggeratedly and said, "Impressive! Chi Qian, your marksmanship keeps improving!"
However, Chi Qian didn't even acknowledge him. She completely ignored his attempt at flattery, leaving him standing there awkwardly.
Lin Yuan then took the gun from Chi Qian and fired his first shot.
Boom!
He didn't hit the bullseye like Chi Qian, but at least he managed to land a shot on the target.
Without hesitation, he silently used his counterattack points and upgraded his shooting skill to the intermediate level.
Just as he was about to fire again, Chi Qian gently stopped him.
"You need to adjust your stance first," she said, stepping behind him. "If you don't position your arms correctly, there's a risk of getting injured."
She reached out and placed her hands on his arms, adjusting his grip and posture with smooth, precise movements.
Lin Yuan could feel her soft touch as she guided him, her presence close behind him.
"Alright, now shoot," Chi Qian instructed.
Following her corrections, Lin Yuan aimed at the target and fired three consecutive shots.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
This time, two of his shots landed within the nine-ring zone, and one struck the bullseye.
Chi Qian immediately noticed the sudden improvement. Her eyes widened slightly in surprise, but before she could react, she quickly withdrew her hands and took a small step back.
A faint blush appeared on her cheeks.
In that brief moment when Lin Yuan had fired, the slight recoil had caused his body to shift backward—pressing him into her. The unexpected physical contact had startled her, and she felt a slight, tingling warmth where they had briefly touched.
It was the same way her aunt had taught her years ago. But back then, it was between two women. This… felt different.
However, since she was the one who had initiated the lesson, she chose not to say anything about it.
Meanwhile, Lin Yuan had also noticed the contact, but he merely smiled. He figured that if not for the distraction, he might have hit the bullseye on all three shots.
Despite her momentary fluster, Chi Qian quickly regained her composure. With a calm voice, she said, "You've improved quickly. Your accuracy is much better already."
Lin Yuan grinned. "When I was a kid, I used to practice shooting birds with a slingshot."
Chi Qian chuckled. "What about fighting? You also learned to fight incredibly fast."
Lin Yuan laughed. "Fighting? I used to brawl with the neighborhood kids when I was younger. Later, I had a martial arts instructor."
Chi Qian nodded with amusement. "Ah, that explains it."
Meanwhile, Gao Feiyang watched their happy conversation from the side, his face growing darker with jealousy.
"The guy can't even shoot properly, yet he's acting all high and mighty in front of Chi Qian…" he muttered under his breath. "We'll see how good he really is during the shooting contest."
He knew that Chi Qian would come today because today is the annual shooting game of the WuShi Fighting Club.
Chi Qian will surely come at this time of the year.
But he did not expect that this year, Chi Qian would be accompanied by a man!
He decided that he must slap Lin Yuan through the shooting contest.
At this time, a beautiful lady in the attire of a club staff walked onto the stage.
"Hello everyone, excuse me. In order to give back and entertain the members, today is the annual shooting competition…"
