A wealthy person with a reading panel

Chapter 38 Are you asleep?

Zhou Qing picked up a piece of tripe with his chopsticks. After finishing his meal, he heard the woman opposite him ask, and replied directly: "I plan to go to the shooting range to shoot guns later."

This was an arrangement I had thought of on the way here.

After dinner, I went to practice shooting again. After that, I went back and found a place to test my current physical condition. After fully absorbing the medicinal effects of the Bosuqu snake gall, I took a day or two to recover. Now I have completely adapted to the state of the strengthened body, and I feel great in all aspects.

It's time to test the level of my current physical fitness.

I'll do a rough estimate for myself tonight so I have an idea before I find a trainer or go to the gym.

"Shooting range?"

Li Wanxiu immediately showed a curious look, "I have never been to a place like this before, can you take me with you?"

Zhou Qing looked up and explained, "I went to a shooting range where they used live ammunition. They used real guns, so the recoil was quite strong. If a girl were to play..."

He was halfway through his words when he suddenly remembered that he had seen girls playing at the shooting range last night. He paused and continued, "It seems there are girls playing there too. If you want to go, let's make an appointment first."

After saying that, he put down his chopsticks, picked up the phone on the table, and wanted to use the app to make an appointment for another person.

The woman opposite quickly picked up her phone and asked, "Did you make the reservation through Meituan? Let me come. What's the name of the shooting range?"

In her opinion, Zhou Qing had just graduated from university. Although he said that he was learning how to do business from others, not all people who do business have good financial conditions. This can be seen from the fact that he rented a cheap single room in a resettlement community.

If it were any other boy, Li Wanxiu would not rush to spend money on him, but she felt very comfortable getting along with this boy. Besides, he had "saved half her life" and was seven or eight years younger than her... She unconsciously had a "big sister" mentality.

Zhou chuckled and said, "You're welcome...Okay, the appointment is successful."

As he spoke, he had already quickly and skillfully operated the phone.

Seeing this, Li Wanxiu smiled at him, didn't dwell on this, but asked about the live-fire shooting.

Zhou Qing answered some questions based on his own experience and said, "Actually, I just started doing this recently. For boys, it must be fun and exciting. But you are a girl, and many girls don't like overly exciting things."

Li Wanxiu blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "I'm different from other girls. I like exciting things."

Zhou Qing couldn't help but look over.

The two looked at each other.

The hot pot meal took more than an hour. After leaving the restaurant, we took the elevator down to the garage on the underground floor.

Li Wanxiu drives a silver BMW X5. Zhou Qing doesn't know much about cars, but he knows this car because when he was in college, a male counselor in their department who was financially well-off drove this SUV.

According to Sun Ke and others, one car costs 600,000 to 700,000 yuan.

After getting on the passenger seat, Zhou Qing told him the address and fastened his seat belt.

The shooting range is very close from May Day Square, only about four kilometers away, and it takes ten minutes to get there.

Zhou Qing suggested that they take a walk around to help digest their food before walking to the shooting range.

Led by their respective coaches, the two began playing on the adjacent shooting range.

This was Li Wanxiu's first time here, and she repeated Zhou Qing's process from last night.

Zhou Qing's coach was the same one from yesterday. Under his guidance, he first tried twenty rounds of rifle bullets before starting to practice with a pistol.

He bought a total of sixty rounds of pistol bullets, and he aimed each one carefully and attentively. The more he shot, the better he felt, and his accuracy became higher and higher.

Li Wanxiu has finished over there.

Her arms were numb from the shock and the experience was average, but she did gain something from it. The photos she asked the coach to take for her looked good, so she slightly beautified them and posted them on her Moments and girlfriends group.

The post on the WeChat Moments was pretty standard: "After finishing work, I experienced live-fire shooting for the first time."

The postscript sent to her girlfriends group was not so serious: "It was the first time that a handsome guy took me to play live-fire shooting. I didn't expect shooting real guns would be so exciting. It felt great!" There were four people in her girlfriends group, one of whom was the female landlord Lin Jiao.

Lin Jiao was the first to see the Moments and group messages she posted, and immediately asked three question marks: "??? Didn't you say you were treating everyone to dinner tonight? Why are you inviting a handsome guy to play this kind of game again?"

Li Wanxiu glanced at Zhou Qing, who was carefully aiming at the target, and replied with a smile: "Sister Jiaojiao, is there a possibility that the person I hired is the same handsome guy shooting the gun? (snickering)"

Lin Jiao: “(Shocked)”

Lin Jiao: "No way, woman, are you going to murder your benefactor?!"

Li Wanxiu: "Why, can't I? (Raises eyebrows)"

When the other two people in the group saw that something was happening, they immediately went online to watch the fun.

Misako: "What's going on? I haven't seen you for a few days. Why can't I understand what you are saying?"

Qingqingzi: "Benefactor? Poisoning? (curious)"

Lin Jiao: "You two kids shouldn't ask about adult matters, hehe... @Li Wanxiu, hehe, don't I know you, woman?"

Lin Jiao: "There are all kinds of models in the drawer of the bedside table on the left side of the master bedroom. They are all newly bought. If you are really brave, you don't even need to go to the hotel to book a room. I have made room for you... Remember to tell me how you feel after using them. Just let me satisfy my craving. (snickering) (snickering)"

A blush appeared on Li Wanxiu's pretty face, and she quickly put down her phone.

This sister Jiaojiao is really something, she dares to say anything.

However, she immediately hit back in the group: "@Lin Jiao, humph, don't feel bad when you use it all up!"

She didn't really want anything to happen between her and Zhou Qing at this moment, but she just didn't want to lose face in front of her best friends.

Sometimes women tease and joke with each other more openly than men.

Zhou Qing didn't know that Li Wanxiu and the female landlord had a group of close friends, let alone what they talked about in the group. After he carefully practiced sixty rounds of bullets, he felt that he was becoming more familiar with firearms such as pistols.

He put down the gun and looked at the target he had shot at for a while.

Seeing that Li Wanxiu had finished her session long ago, he didn't waste any more time. He chatted with the coach for a few more words, added her on WeChat, and left with her.

On the way, Zhou Qing still sat in the passenger seat.

He looked out the window, his gaze moving over the pedestrians coming and going on the roadside.

After a while, he suddenly remembered something and turned to Li Wanxiu and said, "Sister Wanxiu, where do you live? Actually, you don't have to send me off. I can just take a taxi back."

Li Wanxiu smiled and said, "It's okay. I was going to stay at Lin Jiao's house tonight anyway."

Zhou Qing knew that she often stayed at the landlord's house, so he smiled and changed the subject to talk about other things.

Along the way, the two chatted and laughed as they returned to Zhangshuwu Community.

They found an empty space to park the car and returned to the apartment building together. They separated only when they reached the second floor. Li Wanxiu took out the key to the landlord's house and went straight in, while Zhou Qing continued upstairs and returned to his residence on the sixth floor.

After he entered the room, he washed up, then sat at the desk and began to read a novel.

I don’t know how long it took, but Zhou Qing finished reading another chapter. He was thinking about stopping here tonight and preparing to find a place to exercise and roughly estimate his physical fitness when he heard the WeChat notification tone on his phone.

After unlocking the message, I saw it was sent by Li Wanxiu.

"Are you asleep?"

　I've been infected with the influenza A virus. The other symptoms are bearable, but one thing is that after looking at the screen for a long time, my eyes become sore and painful, and I keep crying... I'll only update once tonight.
