"Oh, here’s a lady. Come with us!"
Simon Chin seemed to have just seen her and raised his eyebrows to her.
Wendy Lim waved her hand in a shy manner, but she was pulled up by Charlie Hogg next to her. "I don't know how to..."
Charlie Hogg stabbed the cigarette in his hand when he reached the range.
"I'll do it first. Watch carefully!"
After saying that, Charlie Hogg put on the soundproof headset and took up a rifle. Then he loaded the bullet and pulled the trigger. He did all steps very quickly.
"Bang-"
Staff raised the sign to show that Charlie Hogg made the bull’s eye.
Wendy Lim watched him raised his hand, turned over the rifle, with no excess motion. He has worn a pair of yellow sunglasses and frowned because of concentration.
He was really charming...
In a trance, another man with a rifle appeared in her mind.
The man in her memory overlapped with the one in reality. Wendy Lim looked out into a distance, and she unconsciously muttered, "Why do you both like shooting..."
Charlie Hogg put the soundproof headset on her ears and picked up a lighter rifle.
Wendy Lim took it over but it was still heavy to her.
"Spread your feet to the width of your shoulders."
"Your left arm closes to your chest. Don't move your head, and put your cheek on the butt of the rifle."
Wendy Lim did as he said, and followed his instruction carefully.
She had never touched a gun, so it was difficult for her to understand his words. Her posture even was not correct after quite a long time.
All of a sudden, his hot breathing was approaching her.
With a strong chest on her back, Wendy Lim knew who it was without looking back. Even if she was holding her breath, she could still feel the faint smell of cigarettes as well as his steady and strong heartbeats.
She was wearing a pair of sneakers. Charlie Hogg was a head taller than her, and his chin was right above her head.
It was a very intimate posture.
Wendy Lim couldn't control her heartbeats.
Charlie Hogg held her hands from behind and helped to adjust her posture. "Concentrate, don't be so stiff."
Because of the soundproof headset, he was afraid that she couldn't hear him, so he got closer to her deliberately. He seemed to be breathing on her ear. Even Wendy Lim could hear the sound of her swallowing.
"Can I have someone else to teach me?"
She licked her dry lips and couldn't bear it.
"No." Charlie Hogg refused. After a moment of silence, he added, "The coaches here are all men."
"..." Wendy Lim didn't know what to say.
She wanted to say that even a male coach was better than him, but she swallowed back her words when she met his eyes.
Charlie Hogg began to threaten her. "If you can’t learn how to shoot, I'll let you down on the ground and learn to shoot!"
"Okay!" Wendy Lim had no choice but answered.
A few minutes later, she could do better. Charlie Hogg asked her to pull the trigger.
"Bang-"
An extremely loud sound echoed in the range.
Wendy Lim was embarrassed.
She missed the target...
The red bull's eye was clear and there was no sign of being hit. Charlie Hogg's face darkened, and he said, "Once again."
