Four Years Ago, Her Husband Cheated on Her Body - Chapter 45.2

“That’s right.” Zhu Nanyu followed him out of the car, walked to his side, and asked with a smile, “Have you ever used a gun before?”

Things from the past had long been left in Jia Qiao’s previous life.

He thought seriously for a few seconds and shook his head uncertainly. “I think I used cold weapons.”

Guns were too slow.

In the time it took to load and pull the trigger, he could have finished them off with a blade.

“I thought so.” Zhu Nanyu showed an expected expression and pointed to the notice board nearby.

The notice board had simple rules and a regional map.

The entire shooting range had three areas: the Novice Area, the Entertainment Area, and the High-Level Player Combat Area.

“Since it’s your first time here, let’s go to the Novice Area first.”

“…” Jia Qiao felt provoked.

It was the same when playing games—he was always made to hide in the novice protection zone.

How could he be that bad?

Moreover, this time it wasn’t a game but actual practice.

Jia Qiao lowered his eyes, and a hint of killing intent, long-absent, appeared in his gaze.

“No, I want to go over there.” Jia Qiao pointed to the legendary High-Level Player Area.

Even though he hadn’t touched a shooting game, Zhu Nanyu was so bad he could only last thirty seconds.

How could he be dissed by him?

“No.” Zhu Nanyu refused flatly.

Jia Qiao, who originally had no interest in “dating” and followed all of Zhu Nanyu’s arrangements, suddenly got a temper. He frowned and said, “Why? Are you afraid of losing to me?”

“It’s not that I’m afraid of that kind of thing.” Zhu Nanyu spread his hands nonchalantly and pointed to the rule board. “Look closely.”

Jia Qiao leaned in and looked for a moment, only to find that the combat area required registration in the form of a “team,” with at least eight people, and the number of people had to be even or a multiple of three.

The specific gameplay was that players were divided into two or three teams, each marked with different colored armbands, for combat shooting games.

The bullets used in the game were special dye rounds that would leave paint as a mark. Being hit in the chest, back, or head was considered “dead.”

The last surviving player, or the team with the most surviving members when the countdown ended, would be the winner.

The rules weren’t hard to understand, but Jia Qiao and Zhu Nanyu were only two people, which clearly wasn’t enough for a combat match.

Seeing his wife look disappointed, Zhu Nanyu sighed helplessly and was just about to negotiate with the venue organizer to see if they could book the whole place for the day.

Before he could act, another group of people approached from afar.

The person walking in front was even carrying their own specialized gun; one could tell at a glance they were an experienced player.

“Jia Qiao? It really is you!” A girl carrying a gun ran over quickly. Seeing Jia Qiao, she showed a surprised look. “I can’t believe I’d run into you here. What luck!”

“You are…?” Jia Qiao looked her up and down.

Although his memory wasn’t great, he would have remembered a girl carrying a gun if he had seen her before.

“Stop trying to get close to him!” Another guy walked over, his arm around the girl’s shoulder. “Ignore her, she just talks to anyone.”

A smiling girl followed behind and explained, “We’re from A University’s shooting club. We arranged a friendly match with Z University’s shooting club today since it’s a holiday.”

While they were talking, someone who looked like a student from Z University walked over and asked, “Is he joining too?”

The A University shooting club then remembered to ask Jia Qiao if he wanted to join.

Jia Qiao truthfully told them he wanted to enter the combat area but didn’t have enough people.

“That’s perfect! Several of our members are absent, and we only have four people. We were just thinking it wasn’t enough.”

“Jia Qiao, if you want to play, you can join the A University camp, and your boyfriend can join the Z University camp.”

“Boyfriend?” Jia Qiao looked at Zhu Nanyu and nodded. “Okay.”

Since he agreed, Zhu Nanyu naturally had no objection. He whispered to the girl in charge, “It’s his first time playing today, please take care of him.”

“No problem!” The girl gave a thumbs up and said proudly, “We have two national second-level shooting athletes on our side. You’d better watch out for yourself.”

Hearing that Jia Qiao was a newcomer, the Z University shooting club looked at Zhu Nanyu with concern. “Have you played before? Our captain isn’t here, and it’s already a struggle to compete with them.”

Before Zhu Nanyu could speak, Jia Qiao’s eyes swept over, staring straight at Zhu Nanyu, and said with certainty, “That’s perfect, he can be your captain then.”

Actually, Jia Qiao wasn’t sure of Zhu Nanyu’s shooting level.

But according to his personality, the fact that he dared to bring him here meant he was completely confident.

After the ten of them registered, they first decided on the offensive and defensive halves.

Both sides had their own “safe zones.” Since the field layout was irregular, seizing the initial terrain was very important.

After discussion, A University and Z University decided to determine the division through a fifty-meter target. Whoever’s shot was closer to the bullseye would choose first.

A University sent out their national second-level athlete. Her teammates shouted, “Go Shuang-jie!”

The girl called “Shuang-jie” had one hand in her pocket and fired a cool shot, hitting the ring of the bullseye from fifty meters away.

Jia Qiao watched her movements silently, fiddled with the model he had just received, and hid at a nearby empty target to practice shooting.

The magazine was emptied, but he didn’t even touch the target paper.

“The position you’re aiming at is wrong.” Zhu Nanyu put on his goggles and leaned in from behind, his hands wrapping around Jia Qiao’s side to steady the hand holding the gun. “It’s different from cold weapons. It’s not a straight attack; you have to consider the recoil and the trajectory in the air. If you want to hit the target, you must aim higher…”

Zhu Nanyu supported Jia Qiao’s hand and pulled the trigger.

The bullet traced an arc and pierced the bullseye with precision.

“Woc…”

“Great Master!”

Z University finally believed that the mysterious big shot who had joined their team was qualified to be the captain.

Although in terms of accuracy, Zhu Nanyu and Shuang-jie were evenly matched, Shuang-jie had fired directly while Zhu Nanyu was supporting Jia Qiao’s hand. The level of technical difficulty was on a different plane.

“This is interesting.” Having her spotlight stolen, Shuang-jie’s competitive spirit was naturally triggered. She turned around and threw down a challenge to Z University, “We’ll let you have the base. If you lose today, no making excuses!”

“Of course, and same to you!” Z University’s morale was at an all-time high, and they surrounded Zhu Nanyu, calling him “Great Brother” and asking for his lead.

Zhu Nanyu looked back at Jia Qiao and wanted to say something, only to see that he had already perfectly integrated into the A University camp.

“It doesn’t matter if you can’t hit the target; we couldn’t at first either.”

“Just think about surviving until the end later; leave the attacking to us.”

“Don’t worry, big sis will cover you.”

Jia Qiao felt like he had matched with reliable teammates in a game and was very sensible about waiting for them to carry him.

“Forget it,” Zhu Nanyu said in a low voice.

Although the script was different from what he had imagined, Jia Qiao was finally interested in the date.

“Bro,” a Z University teammate leaned in. “The guy on the other side is your boyfriend, right? Should we go easy on him?”

“Yeah, even those special rounds hurt a bit when they hit. He looks so fair and delicate; it wouldn’t be good if he got hurt accidentally.”

“No need to go easy,” Zhu Nanyu taught them his secret. “If you see him, run. Remember that?”

“…Huh?”

At this moment, no one realized what that sentence meant.

The match between the two shooting clubs officially began. First, Z University occupied the advantageous terrain and was responsible for defense.

The High-Level Player Combat Area was very large—about the size of four or five school playgrounds. Even running at top speed, it would take about four minutes to get across.

What’s more, the game had just started, and everyone was testing each other; no one would easily enter the enemy’s main base.

Z University, clearly knowing this, was in a relatively relaxed state, with everyone moving around near the base.

Only Zhu Nanyu, who had joined the team temporarily, appeared exceptionally alert.

His teammates thought he wasn’t clear on the rules and comforted him with a smile, “Captain, relax. We’ve played A University several times. They only start showing their strength in the second half.”

“Yeah, A University’s main force is female; they don’t have an advantage in close combat. Every time, they try to lure us out and kill us.”

“Our people are all here. If they dare to approach, we’ll immediately—”

“They’re here,” Zhu Nanyu suddenly said in a low voice. He told them to stay in place and charged out in a certain direction.

Although the temperature was low in winter, there were no dense leaves to block the view. Zhu Nanyu clearly saw a dark shadow appear in the distance, using obstacles as cover to approach silently.

Noticing Zhu Nanyu, the shadow slowed down significantly and aimed at the target, pulling the trigger.

Unfortunately, the accuracy was too low; it didn’t even touch the corner of Zhu Nanyu’s clothes.

“Tsk.” The other person clicked their tongue, which was quite audible in the silent woods.

Zhu Nanyu asked amusedly, “Is this how you plan to sneak into our base?”

Even if his movements were fast and his trail hidden, it was meaningless if he couldn’t hit the target.

“No.” Jia Qiao poked his head out and adjusted his goggles. “I came to find you.”

The team battle didn’t matter at all. Jia Qiao’s skills would only drag them down, and A University hadn’t included him in their tactical discussions.

The reason Jia Qiao hadn’t stayed in the protection zone and had taken the risk to come over was very clear.

Today was the first day of the New Year; he was here to date Zhu Nanyu.

Without seeing the other’s face, what kind of date was it?

“Puh-ha…” Zhu Nanyu was charmed by Jia Qiao’s cuteness and took a few steps toward him.

Jia Qiao shrank back and became alert.

During the teaching process just now, Zhu Nanyu could have easily hit him from this distance.

He must want revenge!

“Don’t hide.” Zhu Nanyu came closer, saying amusedly, “If I wanted to hit you, there’d be no need to shorten the range.”

He could have fired the moment he saw Jia Qiao.

The current situation was clearly Zhu Nanyu actively walking into the range of a certain noob.

Jia Qiao thought about it and realized he was right. He jumped down from behind a container, landed on top of it, and stared down at Zhu Nanyu from a height.

“Give up. Aiming at a target from a high place is harder; don’t waste your bullets.” Zhu Nanyu reached out to him. “Come, I’ll teach you.”

“Are you really going to teach me?” Jia Qiao squatted on top, looking at him warily. “My reactions are faster than yours, and since the distance is so close, even I would hit you.”

“You can try,” Zhu Nanyu countered provokingly. “If you still can’t hit me at this distance, that would be too embarrassing.”

Jia Qiao pursed his lips.

Indeed, even at a distance of only five meters, he still wasn’t sure.

After weighing his options, he jumped down and landed in front of Zhu Nanyu, just about to walk over.

As soon as he looked up, he found Zhu Nanyu holding up his gun, aiming it at him with a sinister look.

“…” I’ve been set up?

Divorce. We’re getting a divorce right now.
