The man standing opposite her looked at her deeply. Obviously, he had no intention of letting her leave easily.
Ji Nuan didn’t look at him. “No wonder you two stick together like attracts like. You two are both scum.”
Sheng Yihan was not annoyed by her taunts at all. “Can you play darts?”
Ji Nuan smiled. “Are you kidding me? Don’t you know that darts and golf are both originated from Britain? During the last three years in London, I’ve learned more than I can count. Are you sure you want Ji Mengran to make a fool of herself again? Even if she has the guts, I don’t have time for that.”
“Not Mengran. I’ll play darts with you.” Sheng Yihan said and walked past her as if telling her that he was not asking for her permission.
Ji Nuan thought about it and then saw an area for playing darts on the other side of the gym.
There was a row of dart boards on the wall.
But Ji Nuan didn’t play darts often. It was not difficult to shoot the dart into the dartboard, but it was challenging to shoot it at the center.
This sport was usually enjoyed by men and rarely played by women. Sheng Yihan was probably good at it. Since Sheng Yihan, who was very shrewd, had challenged her, he must play darts better than her.
So, he was trying to play an ‘attrition war’ with her to get back some ‘face’?
Seeing Ji Nuan had accepted the challenge and Sheng Yihan casually playing with the darts in his hands, Ji Mengran rushed over and spoke to Sheng Yihan, “Brother Sheng, let’s play darts with my sister together, okay? Or you can teach me, and I’ll play darts with her.”
With that, Ji Mengran stood in front of Sheng Yihan.
Sheng Yihan remained deadpan. When he saw Ji Mengran come again, a gleam of disgust flickered across his eyes. Ji Nuan played with those darts in her hands and seemed not to be afraid at all. However, from what he knew of Ji Nuan, she was not good at playing darts.
Ji Mengran insisted on him holding her hand to shoot the dart. She was obviously showing off how much Sheng Yihan loved her to get back some ‘face.’ Sheng Yihan thought about it, put the dart into Ji Mengran’s hand, stood behind her, held her shoulders and hands, and taught her how to play darts.
“Let’s start?” Sheng Yihan looked at Ji Nuan, who didn’t seem ready and asked.
Ji Nuan took a dart. Without looking at him, she adjusted the angle to shoot and coldly said, “Suit yourself.”
She didn’t want to accept the challenge, but there were so many people watching. Even if she lost, she couldn’t cower. Besides, Ji Mengran made such a loud noise, and Ji Nuan couldn’t just walk away.
As soon as Ji Nuan finished, Sheng Yihan threw the dart forward, holding Ji Mengran’s hand.
It could be seen that he was really a dart master. No wonder he challenged Ji Nuan to play darts with him. The angle he shot the dart was very precise, but the dart was still a little bit away from the center when the dart hit the dartboard because he was holding Ji Mengran’s hand and Ji Mengran failed to cooperate well with him. The dart landed in the position of nine rings, almost perfect.
The result was pretty good because he was teaching a newbie. There was some applause from the crowd but there were more boos.
Sheng Yihan was known for being shrewd and foxy. Although he didn’t talk much, everyone knew he was actually a hooligan. It was rare to see him show up with a female companion, which turned out to be CEO Ji’s sister. However, this woman kept provoking CEO Ji, and now Sheng Yihan came to bully CEO Ji for this woman.
This man and the woman bullied Ji Nuan together. Many men present felt indignant and couldn’t wait to come up to help Ji Nuan beat Sheng Yihan.
Darts were not for women. Sheng Yihan was simply bullying Ji Nuan by challenging her to play darts with her. If Ji Nuan wanted, there would surely be men coming up to help her, but Ji Nuan just remained expressionless and didn’t cower at all. Seeing her casual look, the men who had witnessed her excellence performance this afternoon hesitated. If she could play darts well, it would be unnecessary if they came up to help her.
“Great!” Ji Mengran shot a dart and leaned excitedly in his arms. “Brother Sheng, can we shoot the center?”
Sheng Yihan didn’t look at her but turned his eyes to Ji Nuan. “Let her shoot first.”
Ji Mengran also looked at Ji Nuan, raising her eyebrows and waiting for her to make a fool of herself.
Ji Nuan ignored them, held the dart and look at the dartboard ahead. She learned a lot from Feng Ling. Although she only learned shooting from Feng Ling for several hours, darts were somewhat like shooting, although she still wasn’t quite confident about her skill.
Ji Nuan finally shot the dart, but there was no miracle. After all, she was not good at darts. Her dart landed on the position of five rings. Although the dart didn’t shake, it was four rings away from the center. Obviously, she was not good at this game.
Ji Mengran said excitedly, “Brother Sheng, now it’s our turn!”
At this moment, the result was clear. Sheng Yihan just wanted to teach Ji Nuan a lesson and didn’t plan to continue.
However, Ji Mengran picked a dart, held Sheng Yihan’s hand and insisted shooting one more dart. Ji Nuan stood nonchalantly aside, not looking chagrined or ashamed at all for the failure.
It was just a game. As a newbie, she didn’t mind losing one round or three rounds.
But Ji Mengran insisted on going on playing. Sheng Yihan didn’t want to reject her in public, so he took a look at Ji Nuan, held Ji Mengran’s hand and shot one more dart.
This time, Ji Mengran didn’t exert any strength and let Sheng Yihan control the strength, so the dart hit the center perfectly.
There were more applause from the crowd this time, but there were still many boos.
After shooting the dart, Sheng Yihan took a step back and didn’t hold Ji Mengran in his arms anymore, who looked at triumphantly at Ji Nuan.
Ji Nuan picked another dart. Sheng Yihan watched her movement and asked, “May I help you, CEO Ji?”
Ji Nuan didn’t even look at him, looked at the dartboard seriously, and coldly said, “No.”
