"Baiji, look, the cherry from the vassal state is so cute. How about this? In the last round, we will be each other's target and put the cherry on top of our heads. I will stand under this scarecrow. If Childe Ruan can shoot the cherry on my head, Childe Ruan will win. "
Before he finished, Ning Shu suddenly smiled shyly, "However, Childe Ruan, I am really sorry. Before the game, I have to tell you the truth. In fact, I did boast just now. My maid's archery is really good, but it is the first time in my life that I have touched a bow and arrow. If I accidentally hurt you later, I hope you will forgive me. "
"What?!" Ruan Chang 'an's eyes widened instantly, and his face was full of anger.
Ruan Chang 'an was about to blame her for setting a trap for him, but he heard Ning Shu frankly one step ahead, "In order to prevent Childe Ruan from mistakenly thinking that I deliberately set a trap to deceive you, you will go first, and I will be the target. If Childe Ruan dares to compete, then come. "
Others heard and sneered at her, mocking her for overestimating herself.
If she shot first, she could threaten Ruan Chang 'an with it. If Ruan Chang 'an came first, she, Ning Shu, would be the fish on the chopping board waiting to be slaughtered. Wouldn't it be all up to Ruan Chang' an?
Even Ruan Chang 'an looked at her in confusion. He was not sure if Ning Shu was crazy.
However, he heard Ning Shu whisper in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Childe Ruan, rest assured. As long as Ning Shu is alive later, the game will be played to the end!"
After that, she smiled and put the red and attractive cherry on top of her head, and walked to the scarecrow without fear in everyone's eyes.
Ruan Chang 'an was sluggish for a moment, and suddenly his brain exploded. He suddenly understood what Ning Shu was playing!
If he won and she was safe and sound, then she, who had already shown that she was "rusty in archery", would accidentally shoot him with an arrow, and others could not blame her. After all, she had already explained everything. He took the initiative to accept the game, and his death had nothing to do with her.
But what if he lost? If he lost to a woman today, he would definitely lose face in the entire capital and be ridiculed by countless people.
Moreover, her words earlier had clearly hinted to him that even if he intentionally missed and injured her, as long as she was still alive, she would still pick up the bow and arrow and kill him!
He finally saw clearly that she was not competing with him in archery, but in courage. She, Ning Shu, was not afraid of death, but did Ruan Chang 'an have the guts to kill in front of the Empress, Old Princess Consort Yu, and half of the city's nobles?
He, Ruan Chang 'an, had always boasted himself as the number one playboy in the capital. There was nothing he didn't dare to play or compete with. But for the first time, he felt cold sweat all over his body. That feeling was called fear.
Therefore, in today's match, even if he won, he would still lose. If he lost, he would still lose!
The best way was to not compete at all!
Today's weather was really beautiful. The bright sun shone down directly from the top of Ruan Chang 'an's head, causing fine beads of sweat to form on his forehead. The bowstring in his hand was stretched into a curved arc, and the iron arrowhead reflected a dazzling light. However, his hands that were pulling the bow were silently trembling in a place that no one could see.
After a long, long time.
The patience of the onlookers gradually ran out, and they all stuck their heads out to see why Young Master Ruan had not shot the arrow. After a long while, they heard him let out a roar.
He threw the bow in anger!
No one would have guessed that there would be a day when the insufferably arrogant Ruan Chang 'an would take the initiative to admit defeat, and the person he admitted defeat to was the infamous Young Miss Ning.
They heard Ning Shu, who was just a fish on the chopping block, take the tempting cherry on top of her head unhurriedly, put it in her mouth, and spit out a pearl-like core. Then, she raised her head and smiled slowly at Ruan Chang 'an, "Young Master Ruan should be able to accept defeat, right?"
