The Heartthrob Became My Boyfriend

Chapter 180: Chapter 179 We’re About Evenly Matched
 

Facing Gu Huai’s solemn expression, Qi Yue was stunned for a moment, then she quickly figured out what he meant.

The God of Shooting was probably nervous because this was his first time participating in a mixed team competition that required coordination with another person, right?

However, when she heard these words from his mouth, she couldn’t help but feel like they had a different meaning…

Damn it!

Her feelings for the God of Shooting had changed. In the past, every time she saw him, she’d only think of Potato, but why was she now constantly thinking about him?

Qi Yue was already a bit nervous, and now her heartbeat became even more uncontrollable because she felt guilty.

The palm holding the gun slowly began to sweat, feeling cool and damp.

Qi Yue calmed her mind and spoke up, “Are you nervous because this is your first mixed team competition?”

Gu Huai was silent for a moment, not making any objections. His deep eyes fell on the girl’s fingers clutching the air pistol, and he asked with some hesitation, “Is President Qi also nervous?”

Hearing that made Qi Yue feel guilty, as if her secret thoughts had been exposed, and she quickly responded, “Ah! Right, of course I’m nervous! After all, it’s a competition! Besides, I haven’t competed in so many years!”

Uh, what’s there to be nervous about in a competition…

In her life, she had never been nervous during a competition.

So, there could only be one possibility — she was nervous because Gu Huai was by her side, right?

Qi Yue shook away the uncontrollable thoughts in her head and quickly said, “So, God of Shooting, don’t be nervous. In fact, I am more nervous than you! I’m afraid of dragging you down!”

Hearing this, Gu Huai’s brows lifted slightly, “President Qi doesn’t need to be nervous either. With my level, there probably won’t be any room for you to drag me down.”

Qi Yue let out a dry laugh, “It’s mutual, our skills are neck and neck!”

Gu Huai’s eyes gleamed with a hint of a smile as he nodded, “Indeed, they are neck and neck.”

The first shot began.

The contestants started aiming at the target.

The rule of the competition was to fire within 45 seconds.

After a brief aim, some contestants began to fire, while more cautious ones were still aiming.

Soon, scores started to come in. Currently, the team from University B was in first place.

The male contestant scored 10.5 points, the female contestant 10.6 points, giving the team a total of 21.1 points.

An impressive score!

Both players performed very well, such stability from the first shot, they truly were professional shooters.

For a moment, everyone’s attention turned to Qi Zhen’s team.

With a “bang,” Qi Zhen’s partner fired his shot.

10.3 points!

After the score was announced, the crowd let out a murmur. Although it wasn’t very low, the performance of both University B contestants had been very good, putting enormous pressure on Qi Zhen because this meant she needed to score 10.9 points to beat University B.

“If Qi Zhen scores 10.8 points, at most she can tie with University B, and only a perfect 10.9 can win the first shot… that’s too difficult…”

“Yeah! Is the first shot always this intense?”

“I wonder if Qi Zhen can withstand the pressure!”

…

As seconds ticked by, the atmosphere became increasingly tense, with only the last ten seconds remaining!

Finally, Qi Zhen fired her shot!

Bang—

Everyone’s gaze focused on the target.

After a moment, Qi Zhen’s score appeared on the scoreboard—

10.9 points!

A perfect score!!!

Following a brief silence, thunderous applause erupted!

“We won, we won! Zhenzhen won!” Yu Shuhua was thrilled.

Qi Wanli also took a deep breath of relief and his eyes showed approval, “This is just the first shot, don’t get too excited.”

Next to him, President Chen smiled and said, “Old Qi, you’re being too modest! Zhenzhen’s shooting skills and mental fortitude are unquestionable! Truly, a chip off the old block!”

Chen Jing looked at the girl on the field, his eyes full of admiration, “Zhenzhen is indeed very impressive. An ordinary player might have crumbled under such pressure.”

While the audience in the stands was marveling and discussing how stunning Qi Zhen’s perfect score was, two gunshots sounded almost simultaneously on the field.

Following that, the score announcement came—

Group twelve

Gu Huai: 10.9 points

Qi Yue: 10.9 points!

Group twelve scores one point!
