Chapter 14 Tan Zheng's gaze fell on Song Ni's palm

Chapter 14 Tan Zheng's gaze fell on Song Ni's palm. Tan Zheng looked down at the little girl with a flushed face. Her eyes were bright. Without a word, she took another step back, lowering her gaze. He would not easily believe Song Ni's outward appearance now, and the words from her mouth could not be fully trusted. "Then don't learn it," Tan Zheng said in a light, casual tone and walked to the side. However, he didn't have the urge to go out for a smoke anymore. He sat down in the lounge area, casually spread his legs, propped his elbows on his knees, leaning forward slightly, holding a bottle of water. He looked quite at ease. Song Ni raised her eyebrows, unconcerned that Tan Zheng had only taught her a little and then left her. She was smart and had a good memory. She had already learned the correct posture for holding the bow, and now all that was left was how to shoot. At the manager's signal, the coach finally stepped forward. He did not dare to touch Song Ni like Tan Zheng did, and maintained a distance, explaining the key points. Song Ni was unlike most girls. She had a competitive spirit flowing through her veins. Anything she found interesting, she would want to learn to a certain extent, at least enough to make people stop and admire her when she went out with others. She learned quickly, and the coach soon retreated to the side. From missing the target at first, to hitting the target, to six rings, seven rings, eight rings, then nine rings, ten rings, and finally the bullseye, Song Ni only took half an hour. Such progress earned repeated praise from the coach, and the manager began to flatter her. Tan Zheng, sitting in the lounge area, raised his eyebrows in surprise. He looked at Song Ni's arm, deep in thought. Song Ni was still enthusiastic and picked up another arrow. Tan Zheng frowned and was about to step forward to stop her when a flamboyant voice rang out. "Yo, I was wondering which little sister Tan Zheng brought, turns out it's Nini." Hearing this voice, Song Ni put down the arrow in her hand, her brow furrowed. The voice was very familiar. The manager had already stepped forward to greet the newcomer, who finally revealed himself. The newcomer had silver hair, a cross piercing on his brow bone, and wore loose-fitting casual clothes, revealing arms covered in tattoos. A thick silver chain hung around his neck. His eyes had a wicked charm, and he had a lollipop in his mouth. Casually flamboyant, he was Tang Qin Yun, the second young master of the Tang family. Song Ni's mouth twitched slightly as she looked at his face and flamboyant attire. The manager's "Boss" made Song Ni a little surprised. It turned out that this shooting club was opened by the second young master of the Tang family. Did that mean he and Tan Zheng were close friends? Thinking of this, Song Ni looked at Tan Zheng, her gaze darting back and forth between the two, truly unable to understand how Tan Zheng could be friends with Tang Qin Yun. After all, one was so taciturn, and the other was a notorious gossip monger in their circle. If there was anything they had in common, it was probably that Tan Zheng was also occasionally sarcastic, rarely saying anything good. Tang Qin Yun stepped forward, attempting to put his arm around Tan Zheng's shoulder, but Tan Zheng dodged him by stepping aside. Tang Qin Yun was not embarrassed, he blew on his long bangs. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming? I could have come to play with you." After speaking, he paused and looked at Song Ni with a grin. "Oh, right, you have Sister Nini accompanying you today, so you naturally don't need me." Song Ni met Tang Qin Yun's ingratiating smile, which was somewhat like a pimp's, and knitted her brows in disgust. Her family had a good relationship with the Tang family, and the two families moved in close circles. Tang Qin Yun, with his ruffian appearance, must have used some trick to make her parents praise him, and even Song Jing got along well with him. But she truly couldn't understand why every time she saw Tang Qin Yun's smiling face, she would get goosebumps. Tang Qin Yun glanced at the target and exclaimed with exaggerated surprise, "Sister Nini, you're actually this good." Song Ni felt a headache coming on. "Can you be more normal?" Tang Qin Yun placed his hand on his chest, feigning hurt. "I'm praising you so sincerely, and you say something like that!" Song Ni: ... Tan Zheng was probably also annoyed by Tang Qin Yun's chattiness and threw the bottle in his hand at him. "A competition?" Tang Qin Yun smugly waved the bottle in his hand, haughtily lifting his chin and refusing. "No, I want to compete with Sister Nini." Song Ni felt disgusted. It was bad enough that he called her by her nickname, but he had to add "Sister" at the end. Tan Zheng said no more. He stepped forward, took the bow from Song Ni's hand, didn't even look at Song Ni, and handed the bow to the coach waiting by the side. "She's not playing anymore." Song Ni frowned. Why wasn't she playing anymore? Tang Qin Yun also found it strange. On one hand, the eldest daughter of the Song family was actually letting someone make decisions for her. On the other hand, Tan Zheng was actually meddling and making decisions for others. "You say she's not playing, so she's not playing?" Tang Qin Yun asked Song Ni with a smile. "Sister Nini, do you want to compete?" Song Ni opened her mouth, about to say she didn't want to be called that disgusting name, when Tan Zheng asked the manager to get the first-aid kit. Hearing this, both Song Ni and Tang Qin Yun looked at Tan Zheng. "What's wrong? Did you get injured playing with the bow and arrow?" Tan Zheng glanced at him indifferently, then his gaze fell on Song Ni's hand. Under his gaze, Song Ni finally realized that her palm was stinging with pain. She had been too engrossed in playing earlier and forgot that she had a wound on her palm. Thinking of this, Song Ni looked up at Tan Zheng, surprised. She hadn't expected him to remember such a small detail. Tang Qin Yun exclaimed dramatically and took Song Ni's hand. "Sister Nini, your hand is injured?" Song Ni was wearing protective gear on her hand, and Tang Qin Yun flipped it back and forth, unable to see anything. Song Ni pulled her hand away and took off the protective gear. Her palm was covered in sweat, and the Band-Aid had become wet and stained with blood. Tang Qin Yun gasped. "Sister Nini, how did you get injured?" Song Ni's brow twitched. She couldn't stand it anymore. "Can you stop calling me that disgusting name?" Tang Qin Yun: ... How was the nickname "Sister Nini" disgusting? However, the state of Song Ni's palm was indeed rather shocking, and Tang Qin Yun, despite feeling wronged, shut his mouth. The manager had already brought the first-aid kit, and Tang Qin Yun volunteered to treat Song Ni's wound. Watching the silver-haired man meticulously treating the wound in front of her, Song Ni was a little curious. "You're so skilled, did you learn this from getting injured fighting since you were a child?" Hearing this, Tang Qin Yun snorted. "I usually beat others down. I'm used to bandaging them." Tang Qin Yun pouted and glanced at the so-called "him." Song Ni curiously looked at Tan Zheng, who had not said a word since taking her bow and arrow and asking the manager to get the first-aid kit. Did Tan Zheng and Tang Qin Yun have such a strong friendship as patient and "healer"? Tan Zheng raised his eyes to look at Song Ni, then back at her hand, his brow furrowed. Her skin was delicate and tender, the wound had not fully healed and had cracked a lot because of playing with the bow and arrow earlier. Her arm was so slender. She had been able to play for so long. Tan Zheng thought that this little girl was somewhat slow-witted. (End of this chapter)
