Chapter 460: The Underworld’s Fake Heiress Rises to Archery Champion (13)

Chapter 460: The Fake Gangster Princess's Road to Becoming an Archery Champion (13)

It was already late at night when the two returned from the city. The modified engine wasn't quiet at all, especially in the peaceful villa area, standing out like a sore thumb and annoying everyone along the way.

Finally arriving at the doorstep, Tang Qing got off the bike and said, "Thanks."

Chi Che took back his helmet, which still carried a bit of Tang Qing's body heat.

That faint residual heat inexplicably felt oddly hot to Chi Che.

Deliberately avoiding eye contact with Tang Qing, Chi Che replied, "It's nothing."

"Just... be more careful next time you ride."

A top troublemaker reminding someone else to stay safe.

Tang Qing couldn’t help but smile faintly. "I’ll say the same to you."

"You don’t ride slowly either."

When their eyes met, both of them recalled their encounter at the Pegasus Racecourse, once again strangely in sync...

Tang Qing and Chi Che both chuckled softly at the same time.

At the same time.

Directly across from the window.

Zhuang Yangqiu yanked the curtains shut!

Midnight, and these two had finally returned.

Since leaving during dinner, Zhuang Yangqiu’s piano practice had been completely out of rhythm!

A sudden surge of agitation tugged at his thoughts, leaving him unsettled and distracted.

Images flashed through his mind—Tang Qing’s disappointment at the corner that day, her teasing gaze during dinner earlier, and just now, the smiles on her and that man’s faces…

Someone he never paid much attention to had somehow thrown his mind into chaos at this moment!

"Zhuang Yangqiu, so even you have a day when you’re not welcome."

Tang Qing’s voice replayed in his mind once again!

Tonight, he saw it clearly—the fervent emotion that once shone in her eyes was gone.

This disappearance was something he had secretly hoped for countless times.

Never did he expect that when it actually happened, he would be the one who cared…

Even feeling somewhat at a loss.

Seeing Tang Qing’s indifference toward him, his subconscious reaction had been to chase after her!

He had never taken the initiative to care about her before, but this time, thinking she hadn’t eaten all evening, he had even inexplicably picked up a piece of cake…

Unfortunately, when he stepped out, he didn’t get the chance to give it to her.

A stranger had suddenly appeared, and Tang Qing got on his bike…

At this thought, Zhuang Yangqiu's fingers came down heavily, striking a heavy, frustrated note on the keys!

But...

The soundproofing in Zhuang Yangqiu's piano room was too effective; this frustrated outburst could only be heard by him alone.

"System Alert: Zhuang Yangqiu's affection value has increased. Current affection value: 15 points."

Three days later, the unobservant Tang Yi finally noticed that her neighbor had changed.

It was actually Chi Che, the one they had met in the combat training class!

"Hehehe, seriously, did you really move here just for my sister?"

Leaning over the fence between the yards, Tang Yi approached with a tone full of knowing amusement.

Chi Che: *"Just a coincidence."*

"I only found out after moving here."

"Oh—" Tang Yi drew out the syllable, then spoke again, "I see!"

"I totally see!"

She gets it again?

Squinting over, just seeing Tang Yi's sly grin at the moment, Chi Che knew this girl didn't get it at all...

Both houses were standalone villas.

Coincidentally, their yards were connected at one point.

Tang Yi was inviting Chi Che to try the flower pastries her housekeeper had just made.

Over the low fence, Young Master Chi didn't even need to exert much effort; with a slight push of his arms, he vaulted over.

Watching Chi Che's smooth and effortless move, the girl chuckled, "Brother Chi, being close gives you an advantage."

"Your choice of location for this move is really spot on!"

He had already said the location wasn't his choice.

Chi Che had come to realize that the Tang family's young lady was a bit airheaded—stubborn and stuck in her ways. Once Tang Yi made up her mind, no explanation could sway her.

The tall, handsome young man, with his long limbs, was directed by Tang Yi to sit on a tiny stool, his long legs cramped and uncomfortable...

Just then, Tang Qing also walked over.

The girl excitedly waved her arms, "Sis! Sis!"

"Look who it is!"

"Brother Chi is our new neighbor!"

Tang Qing: "Oh."

"I found out a few days back."

And people say there's nothing going on between them!

I just found out, but Lady Boss knew even earlier than I did!

Tang Yi's expression turned suggestive again as she thought of something else...

"Sis, want some flower cakes?"

"Auntie just made them, they smell amazing."

Holding out a pastry, Tang Yi handed it to her Lady Boss and pointed to a seat beside her, saying, "Here, sis, I saved you a seat."

Following Tang Yi's words, Tang Qing glanced over and immediately spotted the shabby little plastic stools nearby.

Who knows which storage room Tang Yi dug them out from—not only were they dirty, but they were also ridiculously short.

After a quick glance at Young Master Chi, Tang Qing flatly refused, "I'm not sitting."

"Sitting on that would make me look like a kidnapped monkey—so stupid."

Suddenly being compared to a monkey, Chi Che, who was in the middle of eating a flower cake, froze!

The next second, the young master instinctively jumped up from the stool...

Damn.

Now that Tang Qing mentioned it, he finally understood why sitting felt so awkward.

Being rejected by her sister wasn't a new experience for little white rabbit—she was used to it.

Tang Yi suddenly whipped out a registration form from her pocket and said cheerfully, "Sis, take a look at this."

"Should we sign up for this?"

It was a registration form for an archery competition.

Tang Qing skimmed through it—it was an amateur individual competition in City C, with the most eye-catching part being the prize money listed below.

The first-place winner would receive 100,000 yuan.

Little white rabbit genuinely wanted Tang Qing to participate; she had even filled out all the personal information, and now she was just waiting for her sister to agree.

Tang Qing asked, "Why are you signing me up for this?"

Little white rabbit tilted her head thoughtfully and replied, "I’ve noticed you’re always so accurate when tossing garbage!"

"Plus, we still have your childhood archery trophies at home!"

"Hehehe, and the prize is 100,000 yuan! That’s not bad at all!"

The latter part was Tang Yi’s real motivation.

Ever since the identities of the true and switched heiresses were swapped, Tang Junshan had superficially insisted that everything would remain the same, even having her still call Tang Qing "sister."

But Tang Yi had noticed.

Tang Junshan and Shen Qiuyue seemed to have made an unspoken agreement—neither had been giving Tang Qing any living expenses...

Tilting her head, Tang Yi was already daydreaming happily, "Sis, you’re so amazing—we’ve got to win the championship!"

"First, we’ll compete in the city tournament, then the provincial tournament, and finally, we’ll go for the national tournament!"

"After that, I’ll be the champion’s sister—how cool would that sound!"
