Chapter 2131  : The Love of Chuan Rong (12)

Zhuang Shurong was stunned for a moment, but she was straightforward. She smiled leisurely and nodded.

There was a big difference between a traditional hunting rifle and a gun used in the army. After a normal hunting rifle shot out, the aftershock would be very strong. If one did not control it well, the shock would cause one’s hand to go numb.

Although Zhuang Shurong was a judge, she naturally had not touched such a hunting rifle.

At that time, most young people from the government favored the sport of hunting, and Mu Tangchuan and Su Zhengxun were no exception.

Among the buddies, needless to say, Zhou Zhenjun was naturally more knowledgeable in this aspect. However, Mu Tangchuan and Su Zhengxun were also more interested, so when they had not much else to do, this would be the most important pastime for the brothers.

“Hold the gun like this. Don’t be nervous. Hold it firmly and aim again. Three points, one line. Be careful. The bullet will be slightly affected by the force. In this aspect, you’ll need more practice to master it.”

Mu Tangchuan stood beside Zhuang Shurong. He helped her hold the gun with one hand and pointed at the target in front of her. It was a pine cone on a tree.

Zhuang Shurong took a deep breath. It took her some effort to stabilize her heartbeat. She steadied herself and aimed at the target in front of her as he said.

“Don’t be nervous. Turn on the safety. Yes, that’s it. Fire steadily.”

Zhuang Shurong nodded and held her breath—

‘Bang!’

Following the sound of a gunshot, Zhuang Shurong felt her hands go numb from the shock.

However, she could not care less. She quickly looked ahead to see if she had hit the target.

The bullet only grazed the bottom of the pine cone and did not fall. Zhuang Shurong’s heart sank. She could not help but turn her head to look at Mu Tangchuan with some regret.

“This is already not bad. This traditional hunting rifle is not that easy to control. If you are interested, I will bring you to fight in the fortress next time. That way, the feeling will be more profound.”

“Then let’s go again?”

Zhuang Shurong had an unyielding spirit in her bones. The gaze she looked at him contained some anticipation.

Mu Tangchuan glanced at her and nodded. “Hold it steady, aim, come—”

Zhuang Shurong did as she was told.

The two of them tried a few rounds on the spot before walking into the depths of the dense forest.

Time passed quite quickly. After Zhuang Shurong tried a few rounds, she returned the gun to Mu Tangchuan. She did not forget the purpose of coming here today.

At that time, there were still a lot of wild game on the mountain. Wild game such as pheasants and rabbits were common. In a short while, Mu Tangchuan also harvested a pheasant and two rabbits.

About two hours passed. When they returned to their original location with the spoils of war, Zhou Zhenjun and the rest were already there. They were also handling the pheasant in their hands while Gu Ting was setting up the grill.

Su Zhengxun and Xie Jiajia had not returned yet.

“I’m saying, I think that the family your person is from is not bad. Aren’t you going to say anything?”

Zhou Zhenjun casually lit a cigarette and took a puff. He passed the cigarette packet to Mu Tangchuan while looking at Zhuang Shurong, who was helping not far away, and said in a low voice.

“Isn’t that the case? What do you think you can say?”

Mu Tangchuan waved his hand and did not take it.

“The Zhuang family’s status in City Z is not low either. You and her, I feel that... I’ve never heard you mention it before. Why did you suddenly...”

Zhou Zhenjun’s words were full of meaning.

Mu Tangchuan glanced at him and suddenly felt a little annoyed. He rested his head on his hands and lay on the grass behind him. “It’s what you think.”

“Really? A marriage alliance? Have you ever thought that if Mai Zi comes back...”

“Zhenjun, Mai Zi is already married. Do you think I’m such a stubborn person?”

When Mai Zi was mentioned, Mu Tangchuan’s expression also changed. He narrowed his eyes at Zhou Zhenjun unhappily.

Zhou Zhenjun was stunned. He exhaled a puff of smoke and sighed to himself. “You’re right. At that time, I always felt that you and Mai Zi were a good match. I didn’t expect Mai Zi to be that kind of woman.”

“But—”

Zhou Zhenjun glanced at Zhuang Shurong in front of him and coughed lightly. He reached out and patted Mu Tangchuan’s shoulder. “I think this one is much better than Mai Zi. You’re so lucky, why don’t I have such good luck? Don’t you think so?”

“If you want to have such luck, I’ll ask my mother to find you a few more tomorrow?”

Mu Tangchuan glared at him.

“Don’t! Don’t! I haven’t had enough fun yet!”

Zhou Zhenjun coughed dryly and raised his hand.

“It’s good that you know. It’s easy for you to say that. Not everyone can accept such a marriage alliance. Zhengxun and Jiajia still have feelings for each other, but I...”

Mu Tangchuan stopped talking at this point.

But Zhou Zhenjun naturally understood what he meant.

“I can imagine how difficult it must be for you, but I understand. Anyway...”

“I won’t take any chances. My mother wants me to settle down with her as soon as possible. I haven’t made up my mind yet.”

Mu Tangchuan laughed bitterly and looked up at Zhuang Shurong quietly. “But she’s a pretty outstanding girl. She’s not quite the same as those women.”

“How can she be the same? It’s not like I’ve never heard of the Zhuang family. Why don’t you help me ask if she has a younger sister?”

“Screw off. I’m serious.”

Mu Tangchuan glanced at Zhou Zhenjun coldly. Only then did Zhou Zhenjun shrug his shoulders.

While they were talking, Su Zhengxun and Xie Jiajia had also returned. However, both of their faces did not look too good. They were probably still angry at each other.

Xie Jiajia was still a little girl. She had been well-protected by her family since she was young. It was inevitable that she would have a little temper. However, she was actually very easy to get along with. She also acted as if she was very close to Zhuang Shurong, the enthusiasm made Zhuang Shurong feel a little overwhelmed.

“Sister Shurong, let’s watch a movie together another day. Tell me about you and Tangchuan while you’re at it. This is the first time I’ve seen Tangchuan bring a girl to hang out with us. Did something good happen between you two?”

While Zhuang Shurong was busy, Xie Jiajia came over and whispered into Zhuang Shurong’s ear with a smile.

“You can watch the movie, but I don’t know what you want to hear. However, I can be your audience. You can tell me about you and Su Zhengxun.”

“Who wants to talk about that annoying person? He’s overbearing and dictatorial. He doesn’t have any gentlemanly bearing. He’s the worst man I’ve ever met!”

Xie Jiajia’s expression turned sour at the mention of Su Zhengxun.

Zhuang Shurong narrowed her eyes, a faint smile on her lips. “I think he’s pretty good.”

“I also think Tangchuan is pretty good, but, do you think the same?”

Xie Jiajia pursed her lips and looked at Zhuang Shurong faintly.

Zhuang Shurong was stunned.. She did not seem to know what to say next.
