Chapter 322 Apple
"Of course, it would be my honor." Zhang Biqi answered. Her tone did not contain the anger that she was feeling just a moment ago. After all, she was an actress and she should be able to hide what she truly feels.
Jiang Yue instantly smiled and ordered for the compressed target board that w.a.n.g Minghua was using as well as the various bows and arrows be setup for Zhang Biqi to select from. Jiang Yue was not an expert at archery, in fact, she had only used this equipment once or twice when she was still a kid because w.a.n.g Ruo would not let her use it. Aside from this, she was also not a very good shooter at that time. She always found it hard to pull the bow string and shoot the arrows. At that time, Jiang Yue found the sport too masculine for her.
Because of this, she instantly lost some interest in sports. She is the exact opposite of w.a.n.g Minghua who absolutely love this, just like his father, w.a.n.g Huo. The Father and son would occasionally record their scores while playing and would have a little compet.i.tion as to who is better. Of course, w.a.n.g Huo would always beat his son.
"These are some nice pieces of equipment." she heard Zhang Biqi mumble while picking up an arm guard and putting it on. She then examined the other equipment that Jiang Yue had the servant bring over. "I did not expect to see such high-end equipment. It makes me wonder if your cousin is really good at this sport."
"Oh, he is..." Jiang Yue smiled. "What do you think of the target"s distance? Does twenty meters work well for you?" she asked.
"Make it twenty-five!" Zhang Biqi proudly responded. Twenty-five meters was a very common distance for a professional like her. Of course, a part of this was also to show off to Jiang Yue and of course, Fu Jin.
Zhang Biqi might be an actress but she is also very talented. She would even say that she is more talented than Jiang Yue. Archery is just one proof of it.
"By the way Miss Jiang. I have a friend who lives here in Xin City. If you don"t mind, can she come with us when you bring us out to tour the City later?" Zhang Biqi heard Tang Fei ask Jiang Yue.
"Sure, what"s her name?" Jiang Yue asked.
"Everyone calls her Xuan"er. She is a well known talent manager here. You must have heard about her before." Tang Fei said.
"Nah. Not familiar."
"Oh. Well, she is extremely nice and accomplished just like you."
"Hahaha... good let her come." Jiang Yue nonchalantly answered. "Look Miss Zhang Biqi is about to start. I am so excited to watch this."
The attention of everyone was instantly drawn to Zhang Biqi who had just finished checking the different types of bows available and chosen the one without a sight.
"Are you sure you don"t want to use a bow with a sight? I mean... it seems like it would be more convenient." Jiang Yue asked.
"Don"t worry, I"m used to it. If you want, we can even use an apple as a target instead of a board."
"Really?" Jiang Yue dramatically clapped her hands. "That would be amusing..."
Jiang Yue instantly instructed someone to put the apple on top of the target board so Zhang Biqi could start.
After a while, Zhang Biqi nocked the first arrow into the bow and pulled back on the bow string.
*Swoos.h.!.+*
The arrow flew and instantly hit the center of the apple.
Jiang Yue instantly jumped up from her seat in excitement. "Wow! That was awesome!"
Zhang Biqi smirked and looked at Fu Jin. However, her face instantly darkened when she saw the latter fanning Jiang Yue. He was not even looking at her nor the apple!
"I did not know that you would be this talented!" Jiang Yue beamed as Fu Jin gave her a peeled grape. This gesture did not escape everyone"s eyes including Zhang Biqi. He was even peeling grapes for her? She did not even see him peeling the grapes! When did he do it?
Watching Zhang Biqi"s fake smile instantly made Jiang Yue roll her eyes inwardly. Just how shallow is this woman?
"How about I show you some tricks, Miss Jiang?" Zhang Biqi asked while smiling. She wanted to rip this woman into pieces out of jealousy, yet, her mother only told her to irritate her. She could only control herself for now.
"Sure, what is it?" Jiang Yue asked, her eyes sparkling.
"Why don"t you hold the apple for me while I shoot it. Don"t worry, the distance will only be twenty meters this time."
Jiang Yue raised an eyebrow at Zhang Biqi. She wanted her to hold the target? This should be interesting.
"What if you hit me?" she asked while batting her eyelids.
"I am a professional Miss Jiang, I would never hit you. I just want you to experience the thrill of holding the target." Zhang Biqi answered.
"You promise?" Jiang Yue asked. "How about this. I want this to be fair so why don"t I hold the apple for you first then after, we switch positions and you hold the apple while I shoot it? Since I am not an expert, I could only do this if you are fifteen meters away from me. How does that sound?"
