"Soft hands?"

Lu Shi's last syllable had a lilt as he leaned closer to Chu Yu.

Covering Chu Yu's index finger with his own, they were going to pull the trigger together.

Arms overlapped, leaving no gaps.

Lu Shi looked straight ahead while counting down beside Chu Yu's ear. "Five—Four—Three—Two—One—"

"Bang!"

The bullet hit the glass bottle thrown out by the machine, and the shattered glass exploded like crystals, sprinkling all over the floor.

Lu Shi released his grip and took half a step to the side. "Try again by yourself?"

Chu Yu's mouth was dry, and since his collar looped his neck, even breathing was uncomfortable.

He threw the gun back into Lu Shi's hand. "No more, I won't play anymore."

Lu Shi took the gun. "Really?"

"Real—"

In fact, Chu Yu still wanted to play, so he corrected himself after saying half the word, "Not, really."

After speaking, he reached out and grabbed the gun back from Lu Shi's hand.

Lu Shi didn't assist him with shooting again, and instead sat on the high stool next to him.

The shooting hall was plainly decorated, with cement walls, metal racks, and hanging lamps that felt quite cold.

Lu Shi sat on the high stool with his long legs casually propped on the ground, playing toss with the bullets in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on Chu Yu who was firing the gun.

Chu Yu had a lot of fun, even though he could never hit a target, he was very happy.

The door was knocked on lightly. Lu Shi turned his head and saw Wei Guanglei standing in the doorway.

"Lu-Ge!"

Lu Shi gestured, telling the person to come in.

"I was about to leave after finishing a fight when I heard the boss say you were here, so I came to have a look."

When Wei Guanglei came here to play, his first shot was also taught by Lu Shi. There were few men who didn't love cars or guns. After touching once, they'd want to touch a second time.

When Lu Shi started school, he became a regular visitor and got acquainted with the boss too.

Sitting on a stool at the side, Wei Guanglei watched Chu Yu, who was wearing headphones and goggles, engrossed in pulling the trigger. He gave a 'tsk'. "Young master's accuracy, he's almost the same as me before, a complete noob."

Lu Shi raised his eyelids and looked at him. "Your accuracy isn't necessarily better now."

"Hahaha, I've been practicing hard!" Wei Guanglei examined Chu Yu's back view. "When Zhu Zhifei told me about the previous landslide, I broke out in a cold sweat on the spot. Regarding the young master's situation, he should be fine, right?"

"Hm, it's alright."

Lu Shi didn't mention how every night, until now, Chu Yu had to turn on all the lights, his flashlight-loaded bag must be placed on the bed, and that he'd have nightmares in the middle of the night which would wake him up and result in sending Lu Shi a text. He had unlocked the door of the next dorm room with the key in hand several times at two or three in the morning to accompany the other to sleep.

"The young master is a good person. Isn't it always shown in TV dramas that there will be a blessing afterwards if you escape a calamity?"

Wei Guanglei turned his gaze back to Lu Shi. "I heard Aunt Jing talking about the midterm exams and giving Zhu Zhifei soup to replenish his brain. Are you guys having exams again?"
