Chapter 347: 347 Can we lose honorably, please?

“Are you sure she really played?” Binbin was somewhat incredulous.

“Of course, I’m sure. The segment where An Lan played the violin even got posted on YouTube by foreign netizens,” the staff member said. “The video is titled ‘Mystical Eastern Girl Performs Divine Melody.'”

Upon hearing this, both immediately took out their smartphones and searched using the keywords the staff member had mentioned, and indeed, they found the video of Shi Lan playing the violin.

This time, Binbin’s expression could not simply be described as jealous; rage had already consumed her through and through.

“There’s also a video of Xu Yang and the others dancing.”

Apparently, without her and Binbin, the other four’s schedule had been so rich and meaningful.

And here she was, proud of being able to spend freely with Perry.

“Are you almost ready? Get prepared, it’s time for the next activity.”

The staff member was deliberately provoking them, especially when discussing the other four people’s afternoon plans, clearly seeing envy in both their eyes.

But who was to blame?

If they hadn’t acted out, none of this would have happened, they wouldn’t have been separated for shooting, and everyone could have witnessed An Lan and her teammates’ talent performances and fun games together.

Binbin was still dreaming of a revival that would turn the tables for her, and not just her, even Xiao Yue and Yan Ziqing thought that there was still hope for Binbin later on.

But the reality was that the program team wouldn’t help her anymore. Even without Yan Shixiu’s instructions, they couldn’t continue to tarnish her image.

An Lan, as an artist, may not have a pleasant personality or way of speaking, but her abilities were truly strong. The program team had seen so much in her, including shocking individual capabilities, teamwork skills, and even the ability to control the whole program team.

But what about Binbin? What did she have?

Apart from acting coquettish, all she did was cause trouble and act out.

She clearly didn’t have a princess’s fate, yet she suffered from a princess complex.

…

Meanwhile, they had already set off for the shooting range.

Because the program team had made a reservation in advance, once they arrived, the staff immediately led them to the shooting area.

“Hehe, Sister An Lan, I’ll give you the four bullets I have left since this is a man’s battlefield. I can’t bully you ladies,” Xu Yang said while sitting upright and swinging his legs.

“No need.” Shi Lan was putting on glasses at the time, still looking very cool.

“You really don’t like to lose, huh? A woman shouldn’t be so stubborn,” Xu Yang said, following behind her.

At this moment, Shi Lan walked up to a little table, put on gloves, and without a word, began assembling a firearm.

This series of actions shocked Xu Yang to the extent that he took a few steps back: “I must have been hallucinating just now. The heck, do I even know An Lan? Why do I feel like I’ve met a mercenary?”

“Don’t panic, don’t panic. Maybe she’s just bluffing to scare us,” Xu Sen said, supporting Xu Yang from behind.

Just then, Shi Lan had both hands on the gun, aiming at the target. A few seconds later, she put the gun down again.

Xu Yang sighed in relief and said, “I knew it was just a bluff.”

Shi Lan glanced at the two of them, then asked the staff to replace the stationary target with a moving one.

“A moving target!”

“So serious!”

When the target started moving, Shi Lan stood straight, with shoulders width apart, then raised the gun with one hand… The sound of gunfire echoed repeatedly, and she repeatedly shot through the heart of the moving target.

Ten bullets–each hit the bullseye without fail.

Moreover, she was a girl who seemed completely unaffected by the recoil?

“One hundred points!” an employee announced the score.

Xu Yang nearly slid off the table, feeling a bit weak at the knees, playfully whispering to Xu Sen, “They want us to visit some airplane museum, but I suspect she could fly herself right now.”

“Private one, she can operate,” Shi Lan said.

This time, Xu Yang really didn’t stand firm.

“Is she still playing with us?” Xu Yang asked his brother.

“Yes, play, since the defeat is certain, we might as well lose gloriously, right? Have you decided what women’s wear to put on? I’m going for the Lolita look.”

The brothers discussed, causing the employees to laugh. At this moment, Shi Lan approached Jin Qiu and asked, “Do you need my help?”

Sister Xiaojin had been waiting for her to offer help. Seeing Shi Lan approaching, she smiled and said, “You and the An Lan known to the public are very different; you’ve even become entirely a different person. I don’t know how to understand this change in you.”

“I’ve seen a lot of your films, and you now, are simply worlds apart.”

Shi Lan stood behind Sister Xiaojin, correcting her stance while explaining, “Previously, to pay off my brother’s debts, I also mingled with some wealthy heirs, but it was little known. I learned a lot from them, but I was afraid to show off before. Everything made sense, though, after I woke up from the suicide attempt in the hospital. It taught me that one must live for oneself.”

“That makes sense. I thought as much; your perspective and vision are definitely not ordinary. Keep up the good work, and you will achieve what you desire,” Jin Qiu said. “This is a world where the strong prey on the weak, you either devour others or get devoured.”

Throughout the game, Shi Lan assisted Sister Xiaojin, helping her unleash her emotions, and though the results were less than satisfactory, Sister Xiaojin indeed experienced the relaxation and thrill of firing a gun.

Xu Yang and his brother, aiming to show off, chose moving targets, but the outcome…

After finishing, the brothers were left sobbing in each other’s arms.

“If we can’t compete with Sister An Lan in other aspects, fine, but to lose even in shooting, boo hoo.”

“You chose Lolita, right? Can I go with a cheongsam?”

Jin Qiu and Shi Lan laughed heartily on the side.

Latter, they feasted their eyes on some Russian weaponry before leaving the shooting gallery around three in the afternoon.

As requested by the show, women’s clothes were delivered to the brothers, who tearfully changed in the public restroom and were reluctantly charged Lu coins, paying money for unhappiness.

Minutes later, the brothers emerged from the restroom in bizarre outfits, to the shock of a Russian man using the toilet.

When they showed up in front of Shi Lan and Jin Qiu in high heels, ambling awkwardly, Sister Xiaojin burst out laughing so hard she had to squat down, almost crying with laughter.

“Absolutely brilliant! An Lan, this idea was simply brilliant!”

The show’s crew also bent over laughing, feeling that all the day’s effort was worth it in that moment, all thanks to Shi Lan’s adjustment.

This also sincerely demonstrated An Lan’s control ability, keeping the rhythm steadily in her grasp…

Although it was a tiring day, it felt like they played all day.

Moreover, she didn’t only take everyone to some of Moscow’s lesser-known spots, but she also managed to include popular tourist sites in the end.

Finally, they went to have drinks and watch the sunset from the rooftop of a hotel called Swissotel.

Simply brilliant!

Such fun!

The group stayed at the bar until ten o’clock, and by the time they returned to the manor, Binbin and his friend had just come back as well.
