Chapter 6 This is like when she fell from Mount Qingjing…

Although the little boy was about to accuse him of using his size to bully the small, Guan Shanyan still showed no mercy.

He looked at the pot on the ground in front of him. The hair on his forehead slightly moved, and in the next moment, he lightly raised his wrist and threw the arrow in his hand. His movement looked casual, but the arrow he released, just like the previous three, hit the center of the pot exactly.

The crowd watching erupted into cheers because he had hit four in a row. The little boy’s face flushed bright red, and he angrily looked at him: “No professional players allowed to participate!”

Guan Shanyan calmly held the last arrow and said, “I’m not a professional player.”

“I can vouch for that!” a girl wearing a work badge raised her hand. “He’s a designer. I follow him on Weibo!”

“Thank you,” Guan Shanyan said very politely to the girl, then mercilessly threw the last arrow into the specially made pot.

“Wow, amazing! He really hit five in a row!”

“Yeah, and he looks so relaxed while throwing!”

“Very entertaining to watch, hope he comes to play more often!”

Everyone praised him. The staff in charge of the pitch-pot game was also stunned by Guan Shanyan’s skill. This handsome guy looked like just a pretty face, but unexpectedly, he easily hit five arrows!

“This cat plush toy is yours now,” the staff took out the stuffed toy from inside and handed it to Guan Shanyan.

The little boy who had been waiting here for a long time stared at the toy in his hand, then watched as Guan Shanyan handed it over to Shen Youwei.

Shen Youwei hugged the toy and squeezed it happily. “Thank you!”

The little boy was furious. “You lied! You said your sister was a kid too!”

Guan Shanyan turned to look at him calmly. “She is a kid.”

“…” How can a kid be that big!

The little boy’s eyes almost turned red with grievance. His mother standing beside him called his name and said, “Alright, a bet is a bet. This time someone else won.”

“Hmph!” The little boy grumbled at Guan Shanyan, “I’ll definitely beat you when I grow up! Mom, let’s go!”

He pulled his mother away. Shen Youwei, hugging the plush toy, changed places with Guan Shanyan.

“Have you been secretly practicing pitch-pot?” Shen Youwei was quite curious. Guan Shanyan just stood there earlier like a machine, quickly and accurately throwing arrows into the pot.

Guan Shanyan was even more surprised than her. “Who would practice this for no reason?”

“Uh…” Shen Youwei squeezed the toy in her hand. “Then how did you manage to hit every shot? Could it be that you’re just naturally gifted?”

It’s a pity this isn’t an Olympic sport, otherwise he’d definitely be recruited to the national team to bring honor to the country.

Guan Shanyan was silent for a moment, then said, “I control it with my mind.”

“…Huh?” Shen Youwei was stunned. “What do you mean by your mind? Are you saying you have superpowers?”

“More or less. Controlling objects with your mind is much more precise than using your hands, so that’s how I managed to hit every shot.”

“……” Shen Youwei laughed a few times. “Hmm, that’s interesting.”

Guan Shanyan didn’t respond. Sometimes telling the truth just means no one believes you.

But using such tricks even when competing against a child did feel a bit unfair.

“I still have a coupon for a sugar-coated fried dough twist. Find a place to rest for a while, I’ll go exchange it,” Guan Shanyan said to Shen Youwei, then turned and walked toward the stall selling the fried dough twists.

Shen Youwei watched him walk away, then her gaze fell on the cat plush toy he had given her.

Guan Shanyan was always like this.

He had treated her well since they were kids, taking care of her in every way. Plus, he was talented and well-behaved, and had a handsome appearance — falling for him was really easy.

Even now, after he had rejected her confession, he still treated her kindly like this.

Was this just his sense of responsibility as an older brother?

Thinking about him calling himself her brother made Shen Youwei laugh. He was so smart — there was no way he truly couldn’t tell what brother-sister feelings really were, right?

Tsk, a man’s heart is truly a mystery.

“Miss, can you take a photo for us?” A little girl came up to Shen Youwei and called out.

Shen Youwei looked down at the girl in front of her. “Sure, where do you want to take it?”

“Over there!” The girl pointed a short distance away, where there weren’t many people and the peach blossoms were blooming beautifully — perfect for photos. “That’s my mom.”

“Okay.” Shen Youwei and the little girl walked over, and Shen Youwei took a few group shots with the mother’s phone. “Take a look, is it okay?”

The girl’s mother took the phone and, seeing the photos in the album, was very pleasantly surprised. “Wow, you took such good pictures!”

“Haha, it’s alright. My work is somewhat related to photography.” Since becoming a fashion blogger, she had learned how to shoot, edit, and do post-production.

“Can you take a few more for me? Over by this tree?”

“Sure.” Shen Youwei took a few more shots. The mother and daughter were thrilled. Before leaving, the little girl even gave her a candy as thanks.

Shen Youwei put the candy in her coat pocket and glanced toward the event area. There were still a lot of people over there, and Guan Shanyan hadn’t come out yet, so she decided to take a few photos herself.

She placed the cat plush toy she was holding on the peach blossom tree and took some spring outing photos of it.

The sunlight was better than in the morning, and the peach blossoms were vivid. The black-faced little cat sitting on the branch actually looked great in the photos.

After admiring the cat’s spring outing photos for a while, Shen Youwei stood under the tree and picked an angle to take some selfies.

“I should have brought my selfie stick,” she muttered. Without it, the framing was a bit limited. She took two more photos, then opened the album to select the best ones.

“This one turned out pretty good — no wonder it’s me.” She saved the photo, planning to edit it later.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from behind. Just as Shen Youwei turned around holding her phone, a sharp pain shot through her abdomen.

“Shen Youwei, if you don’t want me to live, then you can go die too!”

The person in front shouted aggressively. Shen Youwei slowly lowered her head and saw a dagger plunged into her abdomen.

Before she could think more, the scene suddenly shifted. Shen Youwei saw herself through the phone’s selfie camera.

She was stunned and instinctively looked down at her abdomen.

There was no dagger at all.

… What was going on?

Had she just been dreaming??

Shen Youwei’s mind was completely confused. She was now holding her phone, standing under the peach blossom tree, taking selfies.

Not far away, the Peach Blossom Festival was still going on. The music from a clown performance echoed in her ears. Under the rows of peach trees, many tourists were taking pictures, sunlight shining on their smiling faces. Everything in the world seemed normal.

But the pain from the dagger stabbing her abdomen had been so real. If it was only a dream, why did it hurt so much?

Shen Youwei instinctively tightened her grip on the phone. This kind of thing seemed to have happened a long time ago too.

When she fell from Mount Qingjing.

Suddenly a tense feeling snapped in her mind. She turned sharply and saw a man not far away watching her suspiciously.

He seemed startled when she looked at him suddenly, but quickly clenched the dagger hidden in his clothes and rushed toward her.

Shen Youwei was shocked and wanted to run, but before she could move, Guan Shanyan suddenly jumped out from the side, grabbed the man’s right wrist, forcing the dagger to fall to the ground, then kicked him in the chest, sending him flying.

It all happened so fast — in just a few seconds. When Shen Youwei came to her senses, the man was already lying on the ground, unable to get up.

“Call the police.” Guan Shanyan, still holding the sugar-coated fried dough twist he had just exchanged, turned to say to Shen Youwei.
