"Meh!"
Iris almost jumped out of her skin. What an evil sound.
She was trying to control herself and stop shaking but she couldn't. She felt embarrassed and ridiculous.
"How about we leave this place?" Wang Yingjie suggested upon seeing Iris becoming pale once again. His doctor's instinct told him that she was not faking it. If they stayed longer here, she might even faint.
Jin Liwei immediately scooped his baby girl up in his arms and carried her away princess-style.
Iris wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face on his shoulder. She felt so embarrassed.
"Xiulan, would you like to see some bunnies?" Lin Yehan asked in a gentle voice.
Yu Mo: "Maybe she has a fear of bunnies too!"
Iris felt insulted. "I do not! Teacher Yu, stop speaking nonsense."
Jin Liwei glared at his stupid Fourth Brother. Yu Mo immediately shut his mouth.
So off they went to the bunnies.And indeed, she didn't have any fear of bunnies. She immediately forgot about her earlier embarrassment as she hugged and petted the fluffy fur balls. She took out her phone and snapped photos of them. Jin Liwei also took endless photos of his happy baby girl with his phone.
However, when she became too engrossed with the bunnies that she stopped paying attention to her boyfriend, Jin Liwei suddenly wanted to wrench the little furry monsters from his baby girl's embrace and throw them far, far away. How dare they act cute and hog all his baby girl's attention? But seeing the happiness and smile on her face, he controlled his murderous intent.
After much coaxing from Jin Liwei, Iris reluctantly left the adorable bunnies. The group then headed to the villa's shooting range.
They explained to Iris that Lin Yehan was a former sports shooting athlete who even competed professionally on the national level. Now he retired but would occasionally coach aspiring young shooters whenever his mood and schedule permitted it.
Additionally, he was also a hunting enthusiast. His farm villa was surrounded by a dense forest abundant with wildlife. The brothers all owned hunting licences so whenever it was hunting season, they would head to their Eldest Brother's farm villa and bond with each other while hunting.
When they arrived at Lin Yehan's shooting range, Iris' eyes contracted. Everything looked so professional. As expected from a former shooting athlete. Her expression momentarily darkened as memories of her previous life flashed in her mind.
"Xiulan, have you tried shooting a gun before?" Lin Yehan asked her.
She nodded before thinking.
Everyone's eyes widened in surprise.
"Really? When?" Yu Mo asked.She realized her mistake but quickly smoothed out her expression and replied with nonchalance. "Some years ago. I don't really remember it that much. My father has a friend from the military and he brought me along to the compound's shooting range for a visit."
"That makes sense," Wang Yingjie said.
After all, Long Tengfei was a man of power and influence in his own right. It was only expected that he had friends from different sectors, including the military.
She didn't exactly lie. The original Iris Long was indeed brought along by Long Tengfei to a military compound before to visit her father's friend. Iris just sat there along with the other kids, all of them bored out of their minds, as their fathers discussed adult matters while shooting guns at the range. She only agreed to come when her father promised to buy her the latest handbag from one of her favourite luxury brands. In exchange, she had to chat with his friends' kids. In the end, the kids just ignored each other.
Iris inwardly sighed in relief after hearing Wang Yingjie, but then noticed that Jin Liwei was looking at her with unreadable eyes. She gave him her most innocent look.
Moments later, they were all equipped with eyes and ear protectors.
Iris chose a pistol. She was unmoving as she held and stared at the gun in her hands. Her eyes were a little unfocused, lost in her own memories.
Jin Liwei was about to walk to her, intending to teach and guide her, but Lin Yehan silently gestured for him to stop.
The men all watched as she finally moved. Their eyes widened in surprise when her aura suddenly changed.
Calm, steady, focused...even dangerous.She settled in a stable stance before lifting the pistol with what looked like ease and familiarity.
Lin Yehan nodded as he watched her smooth and confident movements.
Bang!
Bullseye.
Yu Mo: "Wow! Xiao Xiu, that's―"
Bang! Bang!
Yu Mo: "―amazing…eh?"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Yu Mo: "What the hell?"
Wang Yingjie inhaled sharply.Lin Yehan's eyes were wide and sparkling, his body trembling with excitement.
Jin Liwei's expression was unreadable, but his eyes were sharp as he stared deeply at his baby girl.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Every single bullet hit the bullseye. In addition, all bullets exited accurately through the hole pierced by the first bullet. There was just one small clean hole on the target.
Iris finally lowered the pistol and removed her ear protector. She turned to the others and found them all staring at her like she was a ghost.
"Uh…I'm done…You can all start shooting if you want…" she said, a bit confused by their intense stares.
Yu Mo: "Holy! Xiao Xiu, oh my god! You're so cool! When did you learn to shoot like that? You're like Lara Croft! As expected of my beloved student!"
