Lu Beichen immediately stood up and warmed his wrists up. “Sure. Let’s compete.”
Gu Jingze shrugged his shoulders in a show of nonchalance.
Beside them, Gu Jingyan was still looking on in excitement. She clapped her hands happily and said, “That’s great. The loser… will have to go up to a random man and say “I love you”. How’s that?”
Lin Che nearly sputtered.
Gu Jingyan was a riot.
Sure enough, Gu Jingze frowned and turned to look at Gu Jingyan.
Lu Beichen added, “No way. Can you think of a less disgusting idea? Can we change it to confessing to a woman?”
“Forget it. That would be going too easy on you guys. No way. You must confess to a man. Why? Lu Beichen, are you worried that you’ll lose to my Second Brother since you know how good he is?”
“Ha… Can you be any worse at goading people?”
Gu Jingyan made a face. “Then, go ahead.”
Gu Jingyan looked at Gu Jingze, “Look, my Second Brother isn’t worried at all. Because right now, he has already triumphed in his heart.”
Lu Beichen saw that Gu Jingze was indeed looking at the bowling lane in front of him.
Lu Beichen said, “Alright. Let’s do it.”
Lu Beichen walked to the front and put chalk on his hands. Then, he turned to say to Gu Jingze, “Come on. I definitely won’t let you win so I don’t have to confess to a man today.”
Gu Jingze raised his eyebrows. “I think you should start preparing now.”
“Prepare to do what?”
“Prepare your confession.”
“****, just watch me defeat you today.”
Lin Che and Gu Jingyan watched from the side as the two of them went back and forth. They knew that Gu Jingze’s normal way of speaking was absolutely infuriating.
The two of them began to compete. The machine that was keeping score was extremely accurate. A bowling competition was divided into rounds. There were ten tries per round. They were given two chances per try. If they scored a strike the first time, then there would be no need for a second try. If they did not get a strike, they could still try a second time. If they got a strike on their first try in the last round, they could still go on for two rounds. In the end, they would look at the total score and determine the winner with the higher score.
Lu Beichen went for it first and got a strike.
He turned to Gu Jingze and raised his brows to provoke him.
Gu Jingze was completely calm. He walked to the front slowly and picked up the ball. With perfect posture and technique, he immediately tossed the ball.
He seemed to be very calm and collected. His actions were extremely slow and methodical, but his confidence was obvious.
Sure enough, the ball rolled and immediately knocked down all ten pins.
Lin Che said, “Wow. They’re all so good at this.”
“Yes. We’ll see who makes a mistake,” Gu Jingyan said.
Gu Jingyan asked, “Who do you hope will win?” Shrugging her shoulders, she said, “Forget it. It’s useless for me to ask. Of course, you hope that Second Brother will win.”
Lin Che said, “No, no. I still hope that Lu Beichen will win.”
“Why?”
“Because I want to see Gu Jingze confess to a man,” Lin Che said.
Gu Jingyan broke into a smile. “Alright then. That makes sense too, haha. In that case, I hope that Second Brother wins. Lu Beichen should be the one to confess. He deserves it for being so arrogant.”
While they were talking, the second round had already started.
Just like that, the two of them rivaled each other; each would return a strike with a strike.
They reached a stalemate, with neither person giving in to the other.
