Momentary Strength Lies in Power

"What, are you stunned?"

Liu Qingyue noticed that Su Cheng was standing still, his eyes fixed straight on Ji Qingyi's back, and couldn't help teasing him.

"Indeed, I'm stunned. I didn't expect archery could be so elegant, detached, solemn, and noble..."

Su Cheng was at a loss for words for a moment and simply poured out all the words of praise in his heart.

"Then have you learned it?"

Liu Qingyue asked seriously.

"Are you listening to what you're saying?"

Su Cheng rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "If one could learn it just by watching once, would that still be called a human being?"

"Miss, he said you're not a human being!"

Liu Qingyue immediately fanned the flames and reported to Ji Qingyi. Li Guanqi and Gu Ruoxue also looked at the three of them with strange expressions.

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" Su Cheng immediately gave a triple denial. Looking at Ji Qingyi who was taking off her protective gear, he quickly argued, "I didn't say that!"

"Alright." After taking off her protective gear, Ji Qingyi walked over slowly on her long legs in black stockings. Although her tone was cold, it wasn't sharp. "Go to the shooting position and let me see how much you've learned just now."

"The miss learned it just by watching once."

Liu Qingyue added fuel to the fire unwillingly. "Don't you think you have good talent? Now go and show me your skills!"

"What? Learned it just by watching once?"

Su Cheng stared at Ji Qingyi in disbelief. But she didn't deny it. Instead, she stared at him expressionlessly, just like a mother's gaze.

Su Cheng swallowed hard and reluctantly turned to look at the other two girls sitting at the rest tea table beside.

He saw Gu Ruoxue nodding slightly imperceptibly, confirming this fact.

And Li Guanqi was looking at Ji Qingyi just like him. However, she didn't show the same look of disbelief and surprise as Su Cheng. She withdrew her gaze after a moment.

"Feeling desperate?"

Liu Qingyue put her hands on her hips and spared no effort to hit Su Cheng. "Don't even think about comparing with the miss. All so - called geniuses in the world revere the miss like a god."

"No, I'm not desperate."

Unexpectedly, Su Cheng's reply surprised her a little. Then he added, "On the contrary, I feel hopeful. How lucky I am to be taught by such a powerful club president!"

"Stop nagging in my ear and go quickly."

Ji Qingyi raised her delicate hand and rubbed her temples. Obviously, she didn't like people chattering in her ear. Then she pointed to the shooting position, indicating for Su Cheng to go there.

"Okay!"

Su Cheng immediately responded and quickly ran over. He intended to pick up the bow. In order to show that he could also learn just by watching once, he tried to get into the state to save face.

"Stop!" However, Ji Qingyi saw through his pretense and immediately shouted coldly to interrupt him. Then she added, "Don't put on airs. If you can't master a skill, it's not yours."

Hearing this, Su Cheng's hand that was about to grab the bow stopped in mid - air and didn't move for a long time.

Because he clearly knew that he couldn't learn it just by watching once. He didn't even remember the key points of the movements and postures clearly. Let alone showing it to everyone.

Wasn't this clearly embarrassing himself?

He didn't want to show his ugly side in front of everyone. That would only make him feel ashamed. Not to mention that he had even strengthened his body.

Still being so useless was simply a big failure.

So, he picked up the bow. Instead of getting into the so - called state, he turned around and changed the topic. "By the way, does this bow in my hand have a name? I think it feels good."

"It's just an ordinary competition bow." Liu Qingyue shrugged. "Who would be so idle as to name a disposable item!"

"Oh, really?" Su Cheng smiled awkwardly and then looked at Ji Qingyi embarrassedly. "President, I haven't fully digested your movements just now. I need some time to digest them before practicing."

"Really?"

Ji Qingyi raised her eyebrows and glanced at him indifferently. "I'm quite curious about what name you would give the bow?"

"Well, let it be..."

Su Cheng scratched his head. Suddenly, he had an idea. "Let's call it Sunrise, like the rising sun."

After hearing his answer, several people were in deep thought for a moment. They quickly understood the meaning of the name. Ji Qingyi even sized him up and finally said indifferently, "It's a good meaning."

Just like his current situation, although he was in a state of confusion, he would surely break through the clouds and shine on all things sooner or later.

"Then, junior, how much time do you need to digest it?"

Liu Qingyue asked curiously.

"One day, I only need one day." Su Cheng said firmly. He took a deep breath and continued, "Since the president can learn it at a glance, I should at least be able to do the same."

"Then can I understand it as you having the confidence to master your talent and control the strength and movement postures within one day?"

Ji Qingyi's voice was still calm, but Su Cheng could hear a hint of expectation from her words. The other three girls were also staring at him with great interest.

Su Cheng gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Good, very brave!"

Liu Qingyue clapped her hands first, and the other three girls also nodded at him, showing their appreciation.

Ji Qingyi simply turned to the other girls and said, "Then let's just wait and see."

After saying this, Ji Qingyi led the girls out of the shooting range. Before leaving, Li Guanqi even raised her little fist at him to show her support, while Gu Ruoxue just glanced at him casually without saying much.

The shooting range returned to silence, leaving only Su Cheng. At this moment, he held the bow and arrow tightly in his hand, started to recall the president's movements just now, and then began to practice again and again. He had to imitate the president's movements as much as possible and integrate himself into them.

...

On the other side

In the tea room.

The four girls were sitting around the tea table. Ji Qingyi was concentrating on making tea. One cup after another of fragrant tea was served, and the tea fragrance wafted in the air, refreshing.

After everyone took the tea, they started to taste the tea and discuss. The focus of their discussion was all on Su Cheng's words and deeds just now.

"I really didn't expect that Su Cheng would make such a bold statement of replicating the miss's memory in one day, knowing that his physical strength was improved by external forces and in an unstable state."

Liu Qingyue sighed in surprise. "That stubbornness of his is really inborn."

"Yes, I was stunned by the skills demonstrated by Senior Ji just now." Li Guanqi also shook her head gently. "There are still several days left. Why does he have to limit himself to one day?"

"I actually think there's a possibility that he can achieve what he said."

Gu Ruoxue sipped her tea thoughtfully. "There have been too many coincidental events these days. If we take this factor into account, he might really create a miracle."

Listening to the three of them chatting, a faint smile appeared on Ji Qingyi's lips.

She recalled that before, when Su Cheng first declared his intention to participate in the competition, she had also made a bet with Liu Qingyue.

At that time, just like now, she didn't believe that Su Cheng could master proficient skills in a short period, let alone defeat numerous experts and win the championship in the competition.

Unexpectedly, Su Cheng not only broke through all the barriers but also bravely won the championship in the end.

Although it now seems that the key to this was the help of the system, at least at that moment ——

Ji Qingyi really looked at this man with new eyes and even developed a faint, hardly noticeable affection for him.

Recalling the past, a ripple welled up in her heart.

She couldn't help but say to Liu Qingyue, "How about we make another bet this time?"

"Bet?" Liu Qingyue's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Miss, you're probably thinking of that bet back then."

Speaking of this, she blinked her eyes and showed a mischievous smile. "This is an event that can fully prove my ability to judge people." Then she said to Gu Ruoxue and Li Guanqi, "Coincidentally, would you two like to join in the fun?"

"I'll pass," Gu Ruoxue said indifferently. "Gambling really goes against my principles."

"I... I want to have faith in classmate Su Cheng,"

Li Guanqi timidly raised his hand. "Let's just take it as cheering him on."

"What a coincidence. I also want to bet that he can pass this time," Ji Qingyi put down her teacup and followed up indifferently.

"Oh, this is a problem..." Liu Qingyue looked at everyone with a distressed face and muttered discontentedly.

"In this way, wouldn't it be either a total victory for everyone or a complete defeat for all?"
