After eating delicious food in the small restaurant, Ah Jun called his little cat to play in the small forest. He really wanted to let his friends know the good news as soon as possible.
Of course, the owners of the small restaurant must have warmly received the two children and prepared their favorite food. The couple looked at Ah Jun with joy, which made the child a little embarrassed.
Since childhood, Ah Jun had been living with his eldest brothers wife, which made him frequent visitors to the small restaurant. Though he couldnt eat there, he enjoyed playing with Lan er. Back then, Lan er was chubby and often looked down upon by others, but Ah Jun found her endearing. The two grew close until Laner started kindergarten in Zhebei City, after which they rarely saw each other again.
So, the owners of the small restaurant have watched Ah Jun grow up and have long regarded him as one of their own, loving him more than Laner, because they know what the child lacks.
In addition, at that time, the boss also taught Xiao A-jun to call him Zhanning in the local dialect. A-jun was still young and did not understand the reason, so he obediently changed his words. The couple could not be happier.
Of course, if it were another parent, there would be no time to hide. A sickly child is a little pest. Isnt that asking for trouble? But the owner of the small restaurant didnt think so. After the rain comes the sun. The key is to have good character and a good heart.
After a hearty lunch, the two children politely greeted the owner couple and took Xiao Fei to the small woods. There, Ah Juns good friend —— had already arrived before the kitten even barked. The lively and adorable Xiao Bai and Liu Liu immediately rushed over. As usual, Xiao Bai nimbly snuggled into Ah Juns arms and fell asleep instantly, while Ah Jun skillfully cradled her in his arms.
Xiao Bai looked a little thinner, and Ah Jun touched its head with a little discomfort in his heart, but Xiao Bai smiled and said not to worry about what was not.
That afternoon, Ah Jun and his friends were talking about their adventures with the strange beast, showing off their special weapons —— silver bow and golden arrow. They also cooperated to emit their own light, and the gold and silver shone together, which was particularly bright... The child suddenly felt that he seemed to have two new friends.
The so-called "Golden September and Silver October" began the next day with the annual Arrow Festival on the island of Suoluo —— The young guardians gathered in the school training ground, enthusiastic and ready to compete.
In addition, the audience was full, as it is every year, but this year it was particularly busy. There was no room to stand because so many people came to see how Ah Jun was embarrassed.
Although everyone had heard the bad news that Ah Jun had been given a special weapon, they were not disappointed, because everyone had a common view —— this kid was no way to use the guardians ultimate skill, and it was an insult to participate in the archery festival.
Fortunately, there was also a support team for Xiao Ajun in the audience —— Although his family couldnt come to watch the game due to some family matters, it was a weekend day, so Xiao Ajuns good friends —— pudding, Xiao Xi and Laner all came.
Lan er and Xiao Xi still look the same as before, but their pudding is a little different —— Maybe because they cant study with their two brothers, they talk less than before. It should be said that... they are mature.
Two younger sisters joined Lan er in cheering for Ah Jun. The restaurant owners and many kind-hearted patrons also came to support him, aiming to curb the arrogance of most melon-growing enthusiasts. Auntie Zhang wielded a large ladle while engaging in heated debates with the crowd, while Lan er and her sisters held Xiao Xis hand to cheer her on.
Ajun saw this in his eyes, felt warm in his heart, and was filled with confidence. He decided to win the championship and give a reward to those who supported him.
Then, he saw that the owner of the small restaurant was still cheering for Ah Jun. He was muttering something in his mouth. Too far away, Ah Jun could not hear clearly ——. He saw Lan er blushing and covering her fathers mouth constantly, and she secretly looked at Ah Jun from time to time.
During the pre-match warm-up, archery demonstrations, etiquette competitions, and quiz rounds, Ah Jun effortlessly claimed first place in every event. Although these achievements wouldnt count toward the final standings, they were enough to keep fans glued to their seats, anxiously awaiting the start of the competition while Aunt Zhang could finally take a breather.
At this time, Orange was still watching his opponent —— since the incident of walking away, Orange had deliberately stayed away from Ah Jun, but the hostility did not decrease at all. He was eager to win the first place in this competition and turn defeat into victory, because no one could be his opponent except Ah Jun.
After all, they were rivals, and Orange knew that how could Ah Jun finish the race!
As a result, the crowd once again cheered for Orange, thanks to a luxury support group, and now the fans are getting excited and looking forward to the game.
Amid the buzz, the school officially kicked off the competition. But to everyones surprise, the school had traditionally denied entry to those without special skills —— but today, the school announced that Ah Jun could compete, with equal qualifications as other contestants.
In this way, most people were confused, but Orange Young did not care about it, and he was still full of fighting spirit. He thought that instead of holding a watered-down championship, fair competition was what he wanted!
However, the melon fans did not think so. They collectively clamored that the school was biased, but the school also had no choice but to say that this was the decision of the city lord, so some of the melon fans had to run away, and the rest of them focused all their attention on Cheng Shao and joined the support team of Cheng Shao.
At this moment, Ah Jun, who was stretching and warming up, paid no attention to the commotion. The boy began to focus his mind, preparing for the competition. Of course, Young Master Cheng didnt care about these peoples hopes. He knew he wasnt just another bargaining chip—his disdain was clear. Yet he remained confident in defeating Ah Jun, though that confidence was purely his own willpower.
The competition mechanism is straightforward: children simply need to complete the sequence of guiding the bow, drawing the string, aiming at the target, and firing the energy arrows in front of designated checkpoints——. The difficulty gradually increases, though some kids get so nervous they cant even guide the bow properly, while others miss the target entirely...
Ah Jun and Orange Young were neck and neck, and they stayed tied until the final, when only the two of them remained on the court.
Before the final, a gentle breeze lifted their bangs. Facing each other, they exchanged a pre-match salute before the decisive battle began. ——Cheng Shao and Ah Jun locked eyes, their spirits instantly rising as they prepared to challenge the schools historic record—the first senior to graduate with perfect scores, a glorious legacy once achieved.
But at this moment, Ah Jun suddenly hesitated —— not because he was afraid or worried about the pressure of Orange Young Master, but because he respected this senior. He just wanted to finish the race in this historical record, and did not want to refresh it, because he did not have such ambition, but also out of respect for the senior.
You know, for a guy like Ah Jun, if he breaks the record by chance, not only will there be no cheers, but he may even disgrace the achievements of his predecessors.
Of course, Ah Jun probably knew the strength of the orange boy. To enter the highest difficulty, it was almost unnecessary. He just had to finish the race carefully.
On the other side of the orange group, although he kept his confidence, his mentality had also changed. He knew what Ah Jun knew, and he knew his own value, but this time he had to pull off a comeback!
In the first two attempts, Orange did not achieve good results, but he did not lose heart, but instead, he made every effort to prepare for the third attempt, which was the last chance, and the whole audience gave him a very strong encouragement.
The third-tier challenge, known as the Nine-Star Chain ——, tested participants highest level of skill. Contestants faced a series of dynamic rings that required precise timing to shoot through. After prolonged anticipation, Young Master Orange finally achieved the perfect moment—a powerful shot that nearly struck the bullseye, demonstrating exceptional skill. Yet in the end, he narrowly missed the top record by a single point. The crowd immediately cheered him on, their enthusiastic applause celebrating what they considered the second-best performance in history.
Then it was Ah Juns turn. He shot an arrow quickly and immediately hit the faces of those people... The boy, with his skilled skills and excellent performance, broke the record for the first time, and then gave up the two opportunities to continue to break it.
As Ah Jun clinched the championship, Cheng Shao remained silent and walked away without looking back, his head down. Filled with disappointment and resentment, he knew his father would never forgive him——. Yet despite this, Cheng Shao believed his own incompetence was the reason his father treated him differently. After all, his father treated his elder brother differently—this eldest son was the pride and hope of the family.
Then, at the moment when the child won the championship, a group of friends and relatives of Ah Jun broke out of the power they had been saving for a long time. They shouted loudly —— "Hit the target from 100 steps away, hit the target from 100 steps away..." and drove away most of the melon fans.
