Chapter 9 Raining

As soon as the word "Ten Rings" came out, the whole audience fell silent. The audience was stunned for two seconds before they realized that Xi Nian had won the first prize with his first arrow. There was thunderous applause around him, and the happiest person among them wasXi Nian's few fans were jumping up and down and their faces were red with excitement.

If he wins, they will be honored.

As if he suddenly gained confidence, even his waist straightened up a bit.

Lu Xingzhe pressed the shutter of the camera and looked towards the viewing area. He saw that Su Ge was still smiling when the camera cut away, and even applauded along with everyone. He thought to himself, who said that Su Ge's acting skills were bad? He was not pretending to be good.

Although Chen Sihao didn't expect to win from the beginning, he didn't want to lose too badly. Xi Nian's results invisibly put a lot of pressure on him. At the referee's signal, he cocked the arrow and pulled the string, but he only missed the target.A six-ring.

"cut"

There were boos in the audience.

The referee signaled Xi Nian to prepare.

No one knew how difficult it was for Xi Nian to shoot the arrow just now. When it was his turn to shoot the arrow this time, the timer had passed for five seconds before he gathered the strength to lift the bow and draw the string again, squinting and starting to aim.Target position.

This time his right hand was shaking even more than last time. The bow string was only drawn three-quarters full, and it was difficult for him to exert even half of his strength.

Finally, some viewers noticed something was wrong, lowered their heads and began to whisper.

"Are Xi Nian uncomfortable? I see that the clothes on his back are soaked with sweat."

"Not only that, when the camera cut to a close-up just now, the veins on his head were showing out."

"I think so. The arrow keeps shaking, maybe it's injured."

Su Ge's fans heard this and complained: "If you can't win, you can't win. For whatever reason, they probably saw that Su Ge was injured and became a trending topic, and they wanted to sympathize with him and show off their popularity."

Li Xixi was also standing in the crowd. She heard the sisters beside her talking about each other, and said hesitantly: "What if... Xi Nian is really injured? I think his grades are pretty good, there is no need to find reasons...…”

Her companion pulled her back and said, "Oh, even if Xi Nian is really injured, it's a fact that he pulled Su Ge and stepped on him. Don't speak for him."

At the end of the last event, many marketing accounts were posting to gain traffic, exaggerating about Xi Nian and belittling Su Ge as much as possible. Many grid fans were led into the rhythm and mistakenly thought thatIt was Xi Nian Xianghong who deliberately bought the navy, so he was very hostile to him.

Li Xixi thought so at first, but she somehow felt that Xi Nian didn't look like that kind of person: "But..."

The companion urged: "Oh, stop it, let's watch the game."

Xi Nian is a human being, not a god. No matter how much he can endure, there are times when he is unable to do anything beyond his physical limits. The slight shaking of the arrow makes it impossible for him to aim at the target. Seeing that the timer has passed twenty seconds, many people are watching.Secretly worried.

"Crack."

A bead of sweat rolled down Xi Nian's face, and then disappeared silently into the green lawn at his feet.

Xi Nian's hand on the bow tightened and relaxed, but never put it down. Seeing this, System No. 009 finally couldn't help it, fluttering its little wings and flew in front of him: "Ding~ Dear host, there are still many competitions,Don’t worry about the gains and losses of this moment.”

Twenty-three seconds,

Twenty-four seconds.

Xi Nian's vision went blank for a moment due to sweat. He did not answer the system, but endured the pain, gritted his teeth and slowly pulled out the bowstring, his eyes filled with cruelty that should not have been expected at this age.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow that had been waiting for a long time was finally shot out. With a slight sound of breaking through the air, there was an arrow mark in the yellow inner circle on the target not far away. The distance error from the previous arrow was only a few millimeters.

Still ten rings.

"Beautiful!" Some viewers couldn't help but applaud.

The referee felt that Xi Nian was not in good condition, so he came over and asked him in a low voice if he needed to see a doctor, but he shook his head and refused.

Lu Xingzhe tapped the camera quickly with his fingertips. He just felt that he was trying to be brave. Coupled with the chatter from the few star-chasing girls around him, he simply turned around and limped towards Area C, which happened to be where the few fans of Xi Nian were standing.Location.

Su Ge had been sitting quietly watching the game. His manager frowned and said in a low voice: "If Xi Nian wins this game, it will be difficult for us to deal with the public."

Hearing this, Su Ge adjusted his sitting posture and sneered disdainfully: "He may not be able to hold up to the back."

The agent asked: "What do you mean?"

No matter what actions an idol artist takes in his career, he must get the approval of the company. Su Ge's decision to get a perm that day was purely impulsive. He regretted it afterwards and didn't dare to tell his manager, so he could only shake his head vaguely.:"nothing."

Chen Sihao was now in a state of being broken. He glanced at Xi Nian, and then frustratedly drew his bow and shot the arrow. He only heard a muffled sound and hit the No. 9 circle by mistake.

The broadcast sounded: "No. 15 Chen Sihao, the first group of the second arrow nine rings."

The commentator took advantage of every opportunity and began to arouse the audience's emotions: "It seems that player No. 15 has improved his skills. I don't know if he can catch up with Xi Nian in the later stage. It seems that there will be a wonderful competition between the two..."

It rained all night, which was probably the state Xi Nian was in now. When he tried to raise his right hand to draw the bow again, his arm no longer obeyed his command, and half of his shoulders were numb, so he couldn't wait for a long time.move.

Several fans looked worried when they saw this and stamped their feet anxiously: "What should I do? He must be feeling unwell somewhere."

Gossips spread around: "It looks like No. 9 is destined to lose."

The referee was experienced. He guessed the general reason just by looking at Xi Nian's appearance. He stepped forward and said, "How are you? Can you continue to persist? If you feel unwell, you must tell me."

Xi Nian's back was covered with cold sweat, and the wind was blowing coldly. He slowly calmed his breathing, but could not say the word "retirement". He nodded slightly to the referee: "You can continue."

The timer started counting, System 009 flapped its wings, Xi Nian looked pale and re-cocked the arrow and pulled the string. He turned in a circle with some distress, and finally the broken jar flew to his wrist: "Forget it, you areNo. 9, I am also No. 9. For the sake of everyone being No. 9, I will make an exception and help you."

As it spoke, its chubby body supported Xi Nian's arm from underneath. It felt cold to the touch. After a flash of blue light, the original pain miraculously dissipated.

Xi Nian's pupils shrank slightly when he saw this, and he was surprised in his heart. However, because there was not much time left, he could not ask anything. He quickly pulled the string again and aimed at the target, trying his best to concentrate on finding the ring position.

There was not much time left. The focus of the arrows skipped the outer circle one by one and settled on the yellow ten-ring position. Xi Nian's fingertips were slightly loose, and finally he shot the arrow at the 28th second.

Everyone saw an arrow flashing in front of their eyes, with the force of breaking bamboo. It made a muffled sound when it hit the target. The force was obviously much stronger than the previous two times.

The male commentator was half a fan of Xi Nian and had been paying attention to his activities. When he saw this, he took a closer look and almost hit the table with excitement: "Beautiful! Contestant No. 9 hit another ten ring! Another hit.A ten-ring!”

Upon hearing this, the system shook its body proudly and flapped its little wings even more cheerfully.

Xi Nian lowered his eyes and turned his wrist without any trace, but found that there was no pain at all. He was silent for a moment, and then looked at the fat blue ball of light beside him: "...What did you do?"

The system got carried away with it. At this time, it got rid of the standard polite language comparable to that of X Bao customer service, and said in a arrogant tone: "Ding! The pain is eliminated, just this time, it won't happen again."

Xi Nian guessed that it was the system that helped him, but he was used to confronting the opponent head-on. He was silent for a long time and didn't say anything.

No one knew Xi Nian's injuries better than Su Ge, so he kept waiting for the opponent to be unable to hold on. However, as time went by, Xi Nian not only did not miss the target as he expected, but became more and more stable -—

ten rings,

ten rings,

In addition to ten rings, there are still ten rings!

When Xi Nian's last arrow hit the bullseye in the center, Su Ge's face was completely drained of color, and it was difficult to even move the corners of his mouth to make a fake smile in front of the camera.

Sports events are inherently inspiring. When the host announced that Xi Nian had been successfully promoted, the cheers from the audience almost overturned the stands and made people's ears numb: "Well done to Xi Nian!!! Come on! Come on!!”

At this time, he really answered those words. He was indeed a dark horse who broke out halfway. His performance in qualifying was mediocre, even bad, but he shined in the following games, which was really unexpected.

"He's too awesome. I've never seen anyone with such a high ten-ring rate."

"Some people on the Internet say that he is a vase. It seems that the rumors are not credible."

"But I heard that Xi Nian seems to be very arrogant."

"What's the point? It's strength. I'm proud of him at his level."

Today's sun was not dazzling, but the air was slightly restless, mixed with the smell of lawn soil. Xi Nian turned his head and looked at the auditorium at first glance.

His fans gathered there, applauding and hugging happily, but among the group of girls, a man suddenly appeared, wearing a black T-shirt and a black baseball cap, holding a camera in his hand and carrying a shoulder bag.

These simple adjectives can easily make up three words.

Lu Xingzhe.

Xi Nian withdrew his gaze. He took the water bottle handed by the staff, opened it and took a sip, then turned and walked backstage.

In order to increase exposure, contestants usually choose to sit in the viewing area and wait. Few people go directly back to the lounge. Because of the long game, the arm guards on Xi Nian's hands have been soaked with sweat and stuck to the wounds.Together, he took out the pill box and cotton swabs from the locker, found a seat and sat down, frowned and took off the arm guard bit by bit.

The burned area was already bright red, and due to the hard tearing, tissue fluid and blood began to leak out from the scabbed area, but I don't know if it was due to the system, but there was strangely no pain at all.

Xi Nian's way of treating the wound was quite simple and rough. He opened the medicine package with his teeth and poured the powder on it. He was about to find gauze to wrap the wound when the door of the lounge suddenly clicked and was opened by someone.

Xi Nian looked up and saw that the person coming was Su Ge.

"Why are you so pathetic, hiding here alone and secretly applying medicine?" Su Ge stood at the door, glanced at the back of Xi Nian's hand, then frowned in disgust, and sneered, not knowing whether it was ridicule or sarcasm: "My hands are hurt.You can still win ten rings in a row like this, should I praise you for your strength, or should I praise you for being too tolerant?"

Su Ge only felt that Xi Nian didn't dare to say a word after being permed by him last time. He was a timid and fearful coward. But if he knew that time went back before Xi Nian almost gave him a boiling water perm, how could he lend him ten or eight courage?Don't dare to come and provoke.

Xi Nian didn't say anything. He wrapped the gauze in two or two times, then stood up from the chair and looked around, trying to find a weapon that was easier to hit. He had to beat the shit out of this little son of a bitch.

The system noticed his thoughts and shot out like a cannonball: "Dear host, we need to calm down. Violence cannot solve the problem."

Xi Nian didn't want to solve the problem, he just wanted to solve Su Ge, but as soon as the system made a sound, he remembered the last time he was immobilized, as if he had been poured cold water on him, and his mind suddenly calmed down.

Seeing that he was silent, Su Ge kicked the chair, and the bottom made a harsh sound when it rubbed against the ground. He lowered his voice and threatened: "Don't think that winning is a big deal. It was hot last time, and I don't know what it will be next time."Now, I want to see how long you can last."

The system couldn't help it after hearing this, and flew behind Su Ge's head with a huff, and kicked his head twice with its transparent body: "It's so annoying! It's so annoying!"

How could there be such annoying humans!

I wanted to kick him last time!

It was rare that Xi Nian didn't go against the system. He couldn't stay in the lounge any longer. He threw the medicine box into the locker and was about to leave. When he passed by Su Ge, he put one hand in his pocket and said something with a half-smile.: "When you had your face done, you really should have asked the doctor to do your brain surgery as well."

Su Ge was stunned for a second when he heard this, and then realized that Xi Nian was scolding him, and suddenly became furious: "You——!"

Xi Nian ignored him and left. Out of sight, a figure flashed around the corner of the corridor.

Lu Xingzhe didn't expect that he would overhear such explosive news when he followed backstage out of curiosity. He saw Xi Nian's back disappearing in front of him, and then glanced at the door of the lounge with a subtle expression, and put the camera in his backpack into his backpack.Then he limped offstage.

There were basically no empty seats in the first few rows of the viewing area. Xi Nian didn't like to sit with people he didn't know well, so he took three steps and two steps at a time, crossed the front row and sat at the back. At this time, the weather was gloomy and it looked like it was going to be.It rained. As a precaution, other assistants were distributing raincoats to the artists, but Sun Ming ran so far that he couldn't even see him.

Xi Nian didn't sleep well last night. He put on his hat and sat down to take a nap. However, before he could fall asleep, someone behind him called his name: "Xi Nian, Xi Nian!"

"Here here!"

Xi Nian raised the brim of his hat, sat up straight and looked back, only to see several fans waving to him through the guardrail, with pens and photos in their hands. He nervously asked in a low voice: "Xi Nian, we are all your fans., can you sign your name?”

Xi Nian had spent all his energy on filming and intrigues in his previous life. His account had always been managed by his manager, and he had never really gotten along with fans. He paused after hearing this, then stood up from his seat and walked to the guardrail that separated them.in front of.

When the fans saw that he was willing to come, their faces turned red with excitement. They passed the signature pens forward. Xi Nian took the photos and signed their names one by one.

There was a female fan who didn't bring a photo, and she was so anxious that she was sweating. Finally, she noticed that she was wearing white clothes. Her eyes lit up, and she pointed at the clothes and said, "Xinian, can you sign it on the clothes?"

She was wearing a short navel-baring dress and had a sexy figure, which was a bit embarrassing. Xi Nian had nowhere to write, so he finally motioned for her to turn sideways, and then signed his name on the edge of the left cuff.

This time, the pattern is used. It doesn’t look like a signature, but more like decoration, which complements the white clothes.

The female fan noticed his gentlemanly behavior and realized what she was doing. She stuck out her tongue secretly, took out a bag from the backpack at her feet, handed it to him with some embarrassment, "We just heard from Yu Fan's managerPeople say that artists have to record promotional videos in the afternoon and may have to wait for a long time. Here are some snacks and drinks that you can eat if you are bored while sitting."

For the safety of the artist, these things are usually collected by the agent. Xi Nian paused, reached out to take the snack bag, and spoke to the fans for the first time in this situation: "Thank you..."

Fans were so happy that they almost bubbled with happiness: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, you must take care of yourself, we will always support you!"

Xi Nian nodded, then turned and returned to his seat. In addition to snacks, he also had a cup of temporary bubble milk tea in his hand. He didn't waste it and just inserted a straw into it and started drinking.

Lu Xingzhe injured his leg and belatedly returned to the auditorium. However, before he could say anything, several fans on the side beat their chests and asked him, "What did you do just now?"

Lu Xingzhe raised his eyebrows: "What happened when you went to the bathroom?"

Fans looked like "You are wrong": "Xi Nian came over just now and signed an autograph for each of us. It is such a pity that you are not here!"

After hearing this, Lu Xingzhe subconsciously looked towards the viewing area, only to find that Xi Nian had sat over at some point, just a few meters away from them, and touched his chin with unknown meaning: "Well, that's really a pity."

There were several games in the afternoon, but in the middle of the game, some cold raindrops suddenly fell from the sky. Someone touched their head and exclaimed: "Oh! It's raining!"

"It's really raining!"

"What are you doing? We agreed that it would be sunny today, but I didn't even bring an umbrella."

"The staff said it was light rain and it might stop in ten minutes."

The gymnasium is semi-open-air, and raindrops fall down diagonally, drifting directly into the auditorium. The artists have been distributed raincoats by assistants in advance, and the viewing area has a roof, so the problem is not a big problem.Xi Nian was sitting on the edge, and the raindrops drifted in and fell on him, but he was indifferent and continued to close his eyes and meditate.

Lu Xingzhe stood all morning and his legs were stiff. He leaned half of his body against the guardrail to relieve the pressure on his legs. He found that Xi Nian did not have an assistant to send him a raincoat. He looked behind him for a long time and then took out a disposable raincoat from his backpack.He leaned forward and threw it to him.

There was a soft clatter, and something fell into the man's arms.

Xi Nian frowned and opened his eyes. He looked down and saw that it was a plastic raincoat. He subconsciously turned around and saw someone leaning over the guardrail to look at him. His eyebrows were raised proudly and he was smiling like a fox.

Lu Xingzhe?

Xi Nian's eyelids twitched. Anyway, in his mind, Lu Xingzhe probably didn't recognize him now. His brain was running rapidly for several times, but he couldn't figure out what the other party's intention was, so he simply gave up.

Xi Nian stood up while avoiding the camera, walked under the guardrail, reached out and handed the raincoat back to him. Because he didn't want to be recognized, he deliberately lowered his voice: "You dropped something."

Lu Xingzhe didn't answer. Thanks to the high ground of the stands, he could look at Xi Nian from a high position. With a smile hidden in the corners of his eyes, he corrected: "It didn't fall, it was given to you."

Sloping raindrops fell from the sky and were blown by the wind. Half of Lu Xingzhe's shoulders were wet. His voice was a little unclear against the chaotic and noisy background around him.

Xi Nian didn't think Lu Xingzhe would be so kind: "We don't seem to know each other."

He had no intention of revealing his identity until now. After all, it would be troublesome to be stuck with dog skin plaster.

Lu Xingzhe looked at Xi Nian's handsome eyebrows calmly, becoming more and more certain that he was the one who saved him that day. He tapped his fingertips regularly on the guardrail and said half-truthfully: "I'm your fan, so that's all.Bar."

Xi Nian didn't believe it. He just felt that Lu Xingzhe had bad intentions. Maybe this scribbling paparazzi regarded him as the subject of the next issue. He glanced at the raincoat in his hand and finally accepted it: "Thank you."

The smile in Lu Xingzhe's eyes grew stronger when he heard this. His lips were naturally bright red, and when they were slightly raised, they were even more tempting than girls: "You're welcome, just sign your name for me next time."

Xi Nian pretended not to hear and sat back down.

Not long after, the rain became heavier and the temperature dropped. The staff kept reassuring the audience, saying that it would stop raining in a while. Fans rarely came to watch idol games, and they were unwilling to leave, so they tried to find ways to find someone.Scalpers were buying rain gear, and the mobile vendors outside were charging 60 yuan for disposable raincoats.

"You're so evil! Five yuan for this shabby plastic raincoat is too much for me!"

"Let's buy it quickly. It's all sold out in a while. I came here from out of town to watch the game. It's a shame to leave now. It's not cost-effective to catch a cold."

In order to avoid the rain, some people were hiding under the ceiling. Lu Xingzhe's legs hurt and he was too lazy to buy an umbrella. Plus, he had a hat, so he still leaned against the guardrail without moving.

Xi Nian looked back and saw that the girls who gave him snacks before didn't have umbrellas. There was a beautiful girl with a round face who didn't even care about her image and just put a plastic bag over her head, which made people can't help butMuffled laughter.

Xi Nian looked away, remembering something, and stood up and left the viewing area. When he came back, he was holding a bag in his hand. The fans saw him jumping to the stands in three steps and then handing the thing over.

Fans were excited and happy to see him: "Xinian, why are you here? It's raining heavily here. Go back and sit down quickly... What is this?"

Xi Nian opened the plastic bag, and inside were several raincoats and umbrellas that he asked the staff for: "Share them up, don't get wet."

The fans were stunned for a few seconds before they realized what he was talking about. They were flattered and asked, "Is it for us?"

Xi Nian was not a Lei Feng-type person, so he felt a little weird when he did something like this for the first time. Facing the fans' delighted eyes, he nodded imperceptibly.

"Really? That's great!"

"Xinian, you are so nice!"

Several girls were so happy that they wished they could die on the spot. Facing the envious gazes of other fans, their hearts were bubbling with beauty. How could they find such good idols these days? The plaid fans had been standing there in the rain for a long time, but they didn't see Su.Come over and ask a few questions.

Lu Xingzhe was taking photos of the stadium just now. He turned around when he heard the noise and saw Xi Nian giving raincoats to fans. He pinched his earlobes out of habit.

Tsk, I didn’t realize that this big iceberg is quite humane.

Lu Xingzhe wore short sleeves today, and his exposed arms were cold from the cold. Seeing that the lens was blurred by the rain, he breathed a casual sigh, lowered his head and wiped the lens with the hem of his clothes, but before he could lift it up, a belt was wrapped around his shoulders.A blue and white coat that protects body temperature.

Lu Xingzhe paused, and at the same time a familiar male voice sounded above his head: "The raincoat is not enough, use my coat to block it first."

Xi Nian took off his coat, leaving only a short-sleeved shirt. After speaking, he turned and left, returning to the viewing area.

Lu Xingzhe, who was wearing the still-warm coat, blinked slowly, his face briefly at a loss.
