Four Years Ago, Her Husband Cheated on Her Body - Chapter 46.1

“You…”

Facing the dark muzzle of the gun, Jia Qiao doubted for about 0.3 seconds, thinking Zhu Nanyu had intentionally lured him here to kill him.

But upon landing on the ground and seeing that he was still aiming, Jia Qiao silently dismissed the thought.

Setting aside the fact that at such a close distance, it was questionable whether Zhu Nanyu even needed to aim.

Since he knew Jia Qiao’s strength, he should know: as long as there was a gap for aiming, it would be absolutely impossible to hit Jia Qiao.

Jia Qiao opened his mouth, intending to ask what he was doing.

Before the question could be asked, Zhu Nanyu pulled the trigger.

Swish—

The bullet brushed past Jia Qiao’s hair and accurately hit a half-broken dead branch that had been brought down when Jia Qiao jumped just now.

Before the withered branch could touch Jia Qiao, it was struck several meters away by the bullet, breaking into two pieces before hitting the ground.

“…” Jia Qiao turned his head, lowered his eyes, and looked at the broken branch; his gaze grew increasingly cold.

Zhu Nanyu walked to his side, reaching out to stroke his loose long hair. “Great, it didn’t touch anything dirty.”

Slap—

Jia Qiao suddenly swatted his hand away, his eyes dangerous, clearly ignited with a desire to win.

In the past, when they played games together, whenever he saw Zhu Nanyu easily pass levels that he couldn’t get through no matter what, he had this same look in his eyes.

“No need to show off to me,” Jia Qiao said gloomily.

Zhu Nanyu smiled, put the gun back into the holster at his waist, and reached out to Jia Qiao. “You can do this level too; give it to me.”

“Oh.” Jia Qiao raised his hand, but instead of placing the gun in Zhu Nanyu’s palm, he pointed it at his chest.

The distance between the two was very close—rounding off, it was essentially zero. He could hit him without even aiming.

Zhu Nanyu didn’t show the slightest intention of dodging. He naturally grabbed his wrist and looked down to inspect the gun Jia Qiao was using.

Although it was just a shooting game, in order to give customers a sense of realism, the models provided by the owner were very complete, ranging from heavy machine guns to small revolvers.

Because Jia Qiao knew nothing about this field, he had adopted Zhu Nanyu’s suggestion and chose a small gun suitable for beginners.

This entry-level small gun could be operated with one hand, had low recoil, and was very easy to pick up.

The downside was the small magazine capacity, which could only hold five special dye bullets. During intense battles, it required frequent magazine changes and couldn’t spray bullets like a large machine gun.

“I say…” Zhu Nanyu weighed it, manually detached the magazine, and found it empty. “No matter how good you are at close combat, at least show some respect for the game, okay?”

Jia Qiao seemed not to have realized the magazine was empty. He shifted his gaze guiltily but then felt something was wrong. “When you taught me just now, there should have been six!”

“It seems you counted them just now; your learning ability is indeed good.” Zhu Nanyu pulled out two spare magazines from his waist and taught him in detail, “Actually, there’s a little trick. Before filling it, cock it once to push a bullet into the chamber, then insert a new magazine. Then there will be six inside.”

Zhu Nanyu gave the gun back to him and asked casually, “By the way, where did you fire those previous five shots?”

“…” Jia Qiao didn’t speak but gestured for him to look behind.

The dye from the special bullets was everywhere; one shot had hit the ground directly—no one knew what he had been aiming at.

“May I ask, did you not need to aim before?”

Jia Qiao thought hard and answered honestly, “No need. If I just walk over, they will die.”

Hearing this, Zhu Nanyu recalled his previous experiences of dying and suddenly felt a bit wronged.

“I can only say that map was too suitable for you.”

If the map had been set up with winding terrain or long-range attack items, he wouldn’t have been insta-killed by the Boss the moment he showed his head.

Jia Qiao was only invincible in close combat; as long as he didn’t get close, it was fine.

When it came to strategic deployment, the little dummy understood nothing at all.

However—

Zhu Nanyu changed his mind.

Because Jia Qiao had always stayed there, he had developed a near-apocalyptic close combat ability. If he changed maps, he would likely make adaptive adjustments, which would be even more disastrous.

It was better not to let him discover this.

“Why invent this kind of thing?” Jia Qiao was a bit annoyed, muttering softly, “The range is slow, and it’s inconvenient to use.”

“Jiao Jiao, don’t let others hear those words.” Zhu Nanyu promptly stopped Jia Qiao’s dangerous speech, pulled him into his arms from behind, his chest pressing against his back.

This time, he didn’t hold Jia Qiao’s hand but leaned down to be level with his vision.

“You pick a target, and I’ll help you aim.”

There were only trees or artificial obstacles nearby, with not a soul in sight.

Jia Qiao looked around and pointed to a tree a dozen meters away.

“That tree, then.” Zhu Nanyu was about to praise his wife for having self-awareness and choosing an easy target.

Only to hear Jia Qiao say, “That leaf on the tree.”

Jia Qiao still remembered the ‘humiliation’ of Zhu Nanyu showing off his skills just now.

Why should he be able to do it while I can’t?

“Ha.” Zhu Nanyu looked up at that tiny leaf and couldn’t help but chuckle. “It really is you.”

During their time together recently, Jia Qiao had clearly become a bit more mature and gradually had his own ideas, making Zhu Nanyu feel a sense of gain and loss.

As it turned out, he was still the same Jia Qiao—bad at playing but loves to play.

“What do you mean? Are you calling me stupid again?” Jia Qiao frowned. “Can you just scold me directly next time?”

If he scolded him as a “dummy” directly, Jia Qiao could get angry at him directly.

By beating around the bush, by the time Jia Qiao reacted, he had not only been called stupid but had also missed the timing to get angry, which would make him even angrier.

“I’m wronged; I’ve never scolded you,” Zhu Nanyu defended himself with a look of grievance.

“You clearly…”

“Look ahead.”

Hearing the instruction, Jia Qiao immediately looked straight ahead.

“The wind is about to pick up; take care of it before it blows over.”

With his dummy wife’s current strength, aiming at a static target was already difficult; it would be even worse if it were affected by external factors.

“Okay.” Luckily, Jia Qiao couldn’t read minds and completely didn’t realize Zhu Nanyu was secretly calling him stupid.

“Don’t tilt the muzzle up; that will shorten the range.” Zhu Nanyu squinted, staring at the target Jia Qiao wanted to aim at. “Keep a straight line, then adjust the height appropriately according to the distance… right at this position, pull the trigger. Your hand must not shake.”

During the practice just now, Jia Qiao had already adapted to the recoil of the small gun, remaining motionless before the bullet flew out.

The bullet shot out straight toward the target. Jia Qiao watched intently, his palms almost sweating.

“It hit!”

Zhu Nanyu was far more nervous than when he was shooting himself. He squinted at the bullet and immediately judged that the shooting position was still a bit too low; he feared Jia Qiao would be disappointed.

Sure enough, although the bullet headed straight for the leaf, it only brushed the bottom edge and slammed into the tree next to it.

“…” Hope shattered, the corners of Jia Qiao’s mouth noticeably dipped a few degrees, and his brow furrowed slightly.

Before he could express his ‘unhappiness,’ the wind that had just started blew from afar, whistling through the bleak woods.

A strong gust blew, and the spot Jia Qiao had just hit shook twice, swirling down in the wind.

“What does this count as?” Jia Qiao stared at that branch and asked Zhu Nanyu in confusion.

“It counts as you being not only a quick learner but also lucky.” Zhu Nanyu rubbed against him affectionately. After coaxing Jia Qiao into being happy, he suggested, “The two sides will likely test each other for a while. Before that, I’ll teach you a few more techniques.”

“Okay.”

About half an hour later, Jia Qiao successfully finished his ‘apprenticeship’ and returned to University A’s camp the way he came.

As the attacking side, University A had already begun to move. The leader, Sister Shuang, was charging forward while looking for something.

Seeing Jia Qiao return, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

A teammate giggled and told Jia Qiao, “Great, Sister Shuang was really worried you’d go out and feed the enemy’s kills.”

“It’s normal to worry about teammates, okay!” Sister Shuang retorted violently. “And Jia Qiao is different from you guys. I promised to cover him. If anyone’s going to feed kills, it’s you guys!”

“Sister Shuang, that’s a bit much!”

“Our lives are lives too!”

While they were still joking around, the newly returned Jia Qiao suddenly looked toward the front right.

“Someone is coming.”

“Is there? Why didn’t I hear anything?” The teammate expressed confusion.

Although Sister Shuang didn’t hear anything either, she still followed Jia Qiao’s instructions and aimed at that position in advance.

After a few seconds, seeing a sneaky figure, she immediately pulled the trigger.

Despite the distance, there was a clear feeling of a hit.

“F***, I was just here for scouting! University A is too ruthless!”

“Fortunately, it only hit the arm. Now you’re Yang Guo [the One-Armed Hero].”

“There really was someone,” the teammate said, dumbfounded, looking at Jia Qiao with admiration.

Sister Shuang completely dropped her big sister persona and said with total conviction, “Brother Jia, please cover me!”

Meanwhile, the teammate who had become ‘Yang Guo’ returned to his own camp and met Zhu Nanyu’s expected gaze.

“I said earlier, a frontal confrontation has no chance of winning.” As long as the other side had Jia Qiao, a direct encounter would only lead to being insta-killed.

“Then we might as well surrender.” University Z suddenly lost its fighting spirit.

“Why? We occupy advantageous terrain; our advantage is greater.” Zhu Nanyu had already figured out the terrain. He leaned down and drew a rough map on the ground, giving clear instructions. “Except for the main general, everyone on the other side has weaknesses. We’ll scatter them first and then break them one by one. According to my observation…”

“I see.” The University Z team looked enlightened.

“Tactics can be played like this? No wonder we always lost before.”

The teammates took their assignments and asked casually, “Boss, what about the new guy on the other side?”

Another teammate chimed in, “I saw his aim just now; he’s just a noob. He’ll be dealt with easily.”

“Hey, isn’t it bad to say he’s bad right in front of his boyfriend?”

Hearing this, the person who had been talking big just now suddenly chickened out and looked nervously at Zhu Nanyu.

To their surprise, Zhu Nanyu agreed, “He is very bad. Low accuracy, lack of experience, and no concept of teamwork.”

“Well then.”

“Sounds like an ‘experience point’ mob.”

“But…” Zhu Nanyu changed the subject. “If you run into him, run. Don’t hesitate for a single second.”

The University Z team saw Zhu Nanyu’s expression and collectively shivered.

You should know that when Zhu Nanyu analyzed the enemy’s main general earlier, he had even proposed three schemes to deal with her.

How come when it came to the noob, there was only one path: running?

“Run, and then immediately tell me the location. That’s it.” Zhu Nanyu clapped his hands. “Dismissed.”

The wind was cold and whistling, but the combat zone of the outdoor shooting range was in full swing.

Forty minutes into the game, the front line finally opened up completely.

The main general, Sister Shuang, led her team to capture the enemy’s base. After a distance, she turned around to find that only Jia Qiao, whom she had been covering, was left.

“Where are they?”
