Chapter 154 Secret Hobby
Xu Ruochu ignored Lu Yao's look at his phone and leaned on his seat, staring in front of him in a daze.
Lu Yao thought for a while but didn't reply.
I plan to talk about it later.
After merging the car onto the main road, while waiting for the traffic light, Xu Ruochu suddenly said:
"Let's go to the place where we first met?"
Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, then realized which queen she was talking about, and shook his head:
"The second time."
"...You still owe me millions of Happy Beans."
"I paid it off."
"Ha~"
This time, the woman sitting in the co-pilot of SLK finally lost her sad expression and was replaced by a smile:
"Let's go."
"Not going."
"..."
Sister Yu was speechless and turned to look at him:
"Hey!"
Lu Yao shrugged:
"Sister Chu, the dinner party is over."
"...So?"
"So, I'm not your boyfriend now, so naturally I won't take you there. It's winter now, and the night wind is very cold. Do you really think you're wearing a lot?"
"Uh..."
Hearing this, Xu Ruochu subconsciously looked down at her legs wearing thick stockings, thought about it, and said:
"Well, we haven't arrived home yet, and the dinner is not over yet!"
"Then I won't go."
Lu Yao rolled his eyes:
"I am your boyfriend, not your assistant, why should I listen to you?"
"..."
Not to mention, Xu Ruochu suddenly felt that this was right.
I couldn't help laughing out loud:
"Ha~ Are you really...does driving this car give you the illusion that we just met? Huh? Ping An Driving 107!"
"Please call me Xu Ruochu's boyfriend, thank you."
"Bah! The dinner party is over, you are so beautiful!"
"You just said it wasn't over yet."
"It's over when I say it's over!"
"Your rules are rules, right?"
"Hahaha..."
Inexplicably, Sister Yu, who had been as dignified and elegant as a peony all night, was smiling happily at the moment.
Leaning back in her seat, she turned on the stereo.
Then, after adjusting a few songs with ease, I started reciting the sutra that was so difficult to recite.
"Ah~ha~Chenya monkshenbatouzetiaolanti..."
She actually started singing along.
Lu Yao also had a smile on his lips, and his driving posture became more relaxed.
Just like that, the song ended. Suddenly, Lu Yao heard her unfinished murmuring:
"I want to sing."
"Then... go and sing?"
But his proposal was rejected:
"Forget it, I still have work tomorrow."
After hearing this, Lu Yao thought for a while and asked:
"Sister Chu, what is your hobby?"
"Hobby?"
"Yes, just like Sister Li, she likes to dance. As for Aunt Bai, she is more interested in these works of art... But we have known each other for so long, but I don't know what you like."
As he said that, he turned his head curiously:
"What do you do when you have free time?"
"...Want to know?"
"Well, I'm a little curious."
After hearing Lu Yao's words, Xu Ruochu thought for a while and said:
"Promise not to tell anyone?"
"...or a secret?"
Lu Yao was shocked.
My heart tells me how shady your hobbies are?
"...Go to Dalian Road and Peace Park, do you know?"
"Know."
"Let's go."
"...Okay."
Although he didn't know why he went there, Lu Yao's curiosity was aroused.
And, mostly, the place she proposed to go to was strange.
garden? ? ? ?
This...
Subconsciously, he was thinking a little wrong, but he also understood that this idea could only survive in his mind for a few seconds. Xu Ruochu would definitely not be able to do... such a thing.
He wanted to see... what the "shady" hobbies of a woman as dignified as a lotus and as beautiful as a peony were.
So, all the way from the Bund to Peace Park, Xu Ruochu started to give directions.
To the northeast of the park, he turned into the internal grounds of a well-known unit called the Veterans Committee.
"Here is..."
"Just stop here."
She pointed to an empty parking space and said.
"Okay."
Lu Yao got out of the car obediently.
After Xu Ruochu got off the car, he glanced at the time.
"It closes in half an hour, hurry up."
"...What are we going to do?"
He was puzzled, but Xu Ruochu didn't explain and took him directly inside.
Then he reported his name and number at the front desk. Immediately afterwards, a short-haired man who clearly looked like an ordinary person appeared. After seeing Xu Ruochu, he smiled and said hello:
"Hello."
"Coach Zhang, hello."
Xu Ruochu nodded and said:
"A Glock, a HK416, an SSG3000..."
As she said that, when Lu Yao understood what she was talking about, she glanced at the time and said:
"The number of magazines is... 332. You guys are about to get off work. I'll leave as soon as I'm done with it."
"No problem, I'll get ready."
"Okay, my friend and I are going to the shooting range."
"Okay, remember to take a breathalyzer test."
"Yeah."
After Coach Zhang left, Xu Ruochu looked at Lu Yao with an incredible expression and shrugged:
"It's too late to apply for a card for you. Membership approval is a bit troublesome. Next time, this time you can just watch from the side."
"...Okay."
Lu Yao nodded first, followed her towards the elevator, and said:
"Sister Chu, your hobby... turns out to be shooting?"
"Yeah."
Holding the bag in both hands, Xu Ruochu nodded:
"When I was studying in the United States, I came into contact with guns for the first time, and then I fell in love with them. After returning to China, there were not many open shooting ranges in the country, so I could only play here. When my hands were itchy, I would come over... How should I say, to satisfy my cravings? Well, that’s it.”
"..."
Lu Yao didn't know what to say for a moment.
At this moment, Xu Ruochu suddenly stretched out her right hand:
"Feel it."
"...?"
Looking at Lu Yao's confused look, she said:
"Tiger's mouth, touch it."
Hearing this, Lu Yao pinched that layer of skin...
It feels a little strange, like hard and soft.
He touched his tiger's mouth again, and that layer of skin was completely soft.
“Do you feel the difference?”
"Feel it."
He said, and for a moment, for some reason, he felt ridiculous.
After thinking for a while, he asked:
"This secret...doesn't anyone know it?"
"You are the first."
"...Sister Li doesn't know either?"
Looking at Sister Yu who was very serious, Lu Yao was speechless.
Especially after the other party nods.
"It's just a niche hobby, why should I tell others?"
The elevator arrived and she walked in first.
The elevator actually leads underground.
After arriving soon, Lu Yao saw a venue that he had only seen on TV as soon as the elevator door opened.
One partition after another, with chains hanging from them.
Lu Yao had seen news on the Internet. Those chains were used to wear pistols, as if to prevent the muzzle from turning around.
At the same time, there was an...unspeakable smell in the air.
Is this the smell of gunpowder smoke?
He was curious for a moment.
I feel like some kind of gene in my body is stirring.
But Xu Ruochu walked straight through the empty field and walked towards a small door.
The small door is made of a safety door and is locked.
She wasn't in a hurry, just stood at the door and waited.
About a minute later, the door opened from the inside.
Coach Zhang's figure appeared and gave way.
Xu Ruochu walked in with Lu Yao, and after walking in, Lu Yao saw three separate target positions. It feels like a VIP here, even the decoration is much better.
"This gentleman is..."
"Lu Yao, my boyfriend."
"Oh?"
Coach Zhang’s eyes lit up, and he nodded with a smile:
"Then just sit over there. During the shooting, according to regulations, except for safety instructors with qualification certificates, no one else is allowed to approach without authorization."
He pointed to the small round table next to him.
Lu Yao nodded and sat down honestly.
And Xu Ruochu was already standing in front of the shooting range in the middle.
Soon, Coach Zhang pulled out a sniper rifle from a bank window next to Lu Yao.
He looks quite handsome.
But there is no magazine.
But he still pulled the bolt a few times, as if to make sure there were no bullets inside, and then placed it on the target.
Soon, there was another M4-shaped gun.
Lu Yaoxin said that it cost 45 yuan less in CrossFire.
Finally, a CS gangster pistol.
After placing all three guns in their positions, Xu Ruochu pointed at the Glock.
Coach Zhang nodded, ran to the window and took out a few magazines.
After handing it to Xu Ruochu, he didn't string the Glock with a chain. Instead, he stood behind her on the left side, facing her sideways.
As for Xu Ruochu, he checked the firearms and magazines as if no one else was watching. The proficiency is very high at first glance, and there is no sense of unfamiliarity at all.
Then... there was a flashy reloading process. When the first gunshot rang out, Lu Yao came back to his senses in shock.
At this moment, Sister Yu was wearing decent clothes, a pair of high heels, and nice makeup.
But he is doing... a "work" that is boiling with smoke. Especially her shooting method, Lu Yao, a layman, had the same feeling:
"So handsome..."
He was stunned.
Soon, one magazine was emptied, she skillfully changed the magazine, and then started firing continuously.
Da da da da...
After one magazine was emptied, another was loaded.
This time, her frequency was slightly slower.
Instructor Zhang’s voice sounded:
"10 rings...7 rings...8 rings...calibrate. 9 rings, 9 rings, 8 rings..."
Lu Yaoxin said, brother, where did you see the ring number?
After searching around, I found a small screen on the table in front of Xu Ruochu.
The corners of his mouth twitched.
After finishing three magazines, she put down the Glock.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Coach Zhang stepped forward to check and after confirming that there were no bullets, he stepped aside again.
Then... Lu Yao just watched helplessly as Sister Yu, who was wearing high heels, stooped her back, hunched over her body, and picked up the M4... or HK416.
"Ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta."
"Da, da da, da..."
In the long and narrow shooting range, the only sound was the sound of gunfire.
And she just held a rifle and fired three magazines, and finally switched to the sniper rifle.
This time, it was finally a sitting position.
Sitting in a hugging position, Lu Yao could see her being pushed back by the recoil every time a shot was fired.
Soon, the two sniper rifle magazines were finished.
When Xu Ruochu turned around, Lu Yao saw a faint blush on her face.
Seemingly shy.
Seemingly charming.
But... Lu Yao felt a little ridiculous.
Who would have thought that this shy beauty, instead of meeting her lover, would look like she had just finished shooting a few rounds of bullets?
"Huh... let's go?"
"Uh..."
Lu Yao nodded dully.
He left the small shooting range with her.
In the elevator.
Xu Ruochu breathed a long sigh of relief again:
"Phew... I feel like all the pressure is gone."
"..."
Lu Yao didn't know what to say at all and was speechless.
The blush on Xu Ruochu's face was about to fade away at this moment. He turned to look at the dull Lu Yao and said with a smile:
"This is my hobby. How about it? Isn't it weird?"
"Uh..."
Lu Yao opened his mouth and asked tentatively:
"Sister Chu, do you play shooting games?"
"I've played it, but it's not interesting. Real guns and computer games are two different things and cannot be discussed together."
"..."
OK.
After thinking for a while, he asked again:
"How long do you usually play?"
"General? Usually it's three guns, each with about five magazines. Occasionally, a shotgun is added, with about 10 bullets. The recoil of the shotgun is relatively large, and your shoulders will feel uncomfortable if you play too much."
"...Does Brother Xiaochen know your hobby?"
"I don't know. You are the first."
She shook her head:
"This is just a hobby, and it's also a way to relieve stress. The more people know about it, and if someone is curious about these things, they will inevitably follow. We even have to exchange the feel of various firearms and shooting experiences... This will be very tiring. So when I feel stressed, I come here by myself. It doesn’t take long at most and it’s over.”
"...Then why did you tell me?"
Xu Ruochu was stunned when he heard Lu Yao's question.
Looking at his doubtful eyes, after thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly curved into crescent moons:
"Because you are my boyfriend."
"..."
Lu Yao's mouth twitched.
OK.
If you don't want to say it, forget it.
……
The time is approaching 10:30.
Basement
After Lu Yao got off the car, he sent Xu Ruochu to the entrance door of the unit building:
"Sister Chu, go to bed early and good night."
"..."
Xu Ruochu turned to look at him and nodded:
"Yeah. You too, good night."
"This is for you."
"...Wear it. It's new. No one has worn it except you."
Hearing this, Lu Yao quickly shook his head:
"No, it's too expensive. It's worth more than my life, so I'll give it back to you."
But his persistence did not yield results.
After Xu Ruochu opened the entrance door, he waved his hand:
"Good night, Lu Yao."
"Uh..."
"Oh no."
Suddenly, a playful look appeared on her face:
"Good night, ex-boyfriend."
"..."
"Ha~"
Seeing Lu Yao's speechless look, she chuckled, closed the door, and walked directly towards the elevator.
Lu Yao held a watch worth at least a million yuan in his hand, thought about it, and left directly in the direction of his girlfriend's house.
As for this watch... let my girlfriend return it.
Soon, he entered the elevator and arrived at his girlfriend's house.
As soon as I opened the door, I heard the sound of slippers:
"Baby baby! Baby!"
Hu Li jumped directly onto him with excitement in her eyes.
Lu Yao held her back and said directly:
"Give this watch to Sister Chu later."
"Oh, okay. Huh?...What does it smell like on you? Do you smoke?"
"No, maybe it was contaminated in the banquet hall."
"Oh, okay."
Hu Li didn't think much, and responded casually, without asking anything about the evening banquet. After getting off him with a smile, she took off his clothes and pushed him into the bathroom:
"Quick, I've put the water in and I want to take a bath with you~"
"Are you sure you want to take a bath?"
"Hey, just bubble, don't go in."
"Hey hey hey..."
"Hey hey hey~"
……
It's almost 1 o'clock in the morning.
Lu Yao, who was hugging his girlfriend and coaxing her to sleep by gently patting her as she asked, suddenly remembered something and said:
"Oh yes."
"...Huh?"
Hu Li opened his eyes drowsily.
"What's wrong?"
"Uh..."
Lu Yao looked at the time on his phone and shook his head:
"It's okay."
"...nerves."
She moved into her boyfriend's arms again and rubbed against him.
Soon he uttered a murmur:
"Good night, baby."
"Good night."
Not long after, she fell asleep in her boyfriend's warm arms.
But Lu Yao had a rare insomnia.
He didn't know why, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he felt like his head was filled with gunshots.
Crack, click, click.
Gunshots, shooting woman.
Even the smell of gunpowder smoke in the mouth and nose...
I've obviously finished taking a shower, but it still seems to linger.
At the same time, I was a little curious and wanted to fire a couple of shots to see what it felt like.
As he came and went, he felt sleep getting further and further away from him.
Feeling a little thirsty again, he took out his arm and carefully stood up and went to the living room.
He took out a bottle of carbonated water from the refrigerator... Hu Li didn't know why, but he liked drinking this strange-tasting water.
Lu Yao didn't like it at first, but after drinking it for a long time, he got used to it.
The lemony taste and cool texture of carbonated water somewhat calmed his restlessness.
He sat on the sofa, turned on his mobile phone, looked at the message sent by the senior sister, and politely replied:
"Sorry, senior, I was driving just now and wanted to go home and reply, but I didn't think of it until I fell asleep."
“It’s not boring, it feels good.”
After he replied, he put the phone aside and continued to drink two sips of cold carbonated water.
The phone buzzed.
Bai Yao actually replied:
"It's okay, do you want to rest?"
"Yes, ready to go to bed. Senior sister hasn't gone to bed yet?"
"It's not time yet. What time do you usually go to bed?"
When Lu Yao saw the content of her message, he wanted to end it quickly, otherwise the conversation would be endless and his girlfriend would not think much about it.
So he replied:
"I'm very sleepy now. It's getting late, senior sister, go to bed early, good night."
"Okay, good night. By the way, do you have any new songs?"
"Not yet, I'm writing."
"Writing?"
Lu Yao thought to himself, why did he continue?
So he replied:
"Yes. Senior sister, no more chatting, I'm going to bed first."
"Okay. Let's talk about it tomorrow. Good night."
Lu Yao did not return.
After thinking about it, I deleted the message directly.
It is better to do less than to do more.
Soon, he drank up a bottle of carbonated water and returned directly to the bedroom.
As soon as he lay down, Hu Li came over looking for warmth, hugged him, and became quiet again.
"Huh..."
Lu Yao breathed a long sigh of relief and closed his eyes.
Gradually, the inner restlessness began to subside.
Amidst the increasingly faint crackling sound, his consciousness darkened and he knew nothing.
