please don't believe me

"Missing the target again, Shen Yuyao!" The young man watching beside him laughed, "Seriously, if your brother knew that your marksmanship is so bad, would he put you in confinement?"

Standing behind was a row of handsomely dressed young girls, although they could be regarded as Shen Yuyao's teammates, they also giggled because of the youth's jokes.

Shen Yuyao put down the gun helplessly: "I am a civilized person, don't yell and kill all day long, don't forget that this is the first time I have raised a gun."

"However, you have the blood of a military family running through your body." The young man commented, and then he waved his hand to let the target be pulled closer, "Look at these bullet holes, your problem is not that you can't aim, but that you can't concentrate. "

The young man put one hand on the shooting platform: "Your hand is not steady, miss."

Shen Yuyao had nothing to say.They just came to a friend's private shooting range to shoot on a whim. 10 minutes ago she was still laughing at the grades of other girls, but it turns out that having a father and brother who are soldiers does not mean that they have shooting talent.

It was the turn of the men.

The first one is the young man who commented on Shen Yuyao. He looks very experienced and skillful, and he has six rings at worst; the second one is a little nervous and at a loss, and his performance is slightly worse; After he adjusted a few breaths, his performance in the second half was very similar to that of the young man who took the lead.

Three men and five girls, with three against five, the youths did not pay attention to the gentleman's spirit in marksmanship, and easily crushed the girls' results.

Shen Yuyao looked suspiciously at the young teammates: "Have you all practiced?"

The young man who was the main force mocked Shen Yuyao before replied: "You are really suspicious. Think about it, besides you and me present, who else is likely to touch the gun frequently?"

The young man was right.His family is a financing company on the surface, but in fact it helps the government and private smuggling of arms, so this shooting range was built in the name of gun testing.And Shen Yuyao was born in a military family, and the fact that his brother brought soldiers home was well known among this group of people, and everyone took it for granted that she had access to ordnance.

It's a pity that before today, Shen Yuyao really didn't even know where the safety catch of the gun was.

"Practice marksmanship?"

When Shen Xiuyuan heard the adjutant's report, he rubbed his eyebrows and said, "What does she want to do?"

The adjutant had no opinion on the willful lady of the Shen family, and the report was also business-like: "After the last shooting competition, she and Henry Zhang decided to compete one-on-one two weeks later. Henry Zhang shot five bullets, and Miss Shen eight."

Henry Zhang is the best young man in the shooting competition.Although the Zhang family was in the arms business, they couldn't reach the line of the Shen family. The relationship between the two families had always been delicate.Even if the juniors get together, they can only talk about trivial life such as studying abroad and having fun, which is not a serious matter.

But Henry Zhang attracted Shen Yuyao to touch the gun, and Shen Xiuyuan couldn't help but get a little attention.

Eight rounds against five rounds, it sounds very unfair, but Shen Xiuyuan still asked: "Do you think she has any hope of winning?"

The adjutant thought for a while: "It's hard to say."

The adjutant had never seen Shen Yuyao's shooting scene, but just from what she said when she came to ask, it didn't feel very good—to be precise, it was very bad.

Shen Yuyao probably also felt very ashamed, coupled with an unspeakable guilt, that's why she wanted to secretly ask the adjutant for guidance.But what she didn't expect was that the adjutant not only didn't agree to her immediately, but also betrayed her soon after she asked for secrecy.

Shen Xiuyuan's final decision made Shen Yuyao feel mixed: "Take her to the shooting range tomorrow, and I will teach her personally."

Shen Yuyao really didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing for her brother to guide her to shoot.

On the bright side, Shen Ximing doesn’t have to worry about saying the wrong thing, and can strictly guide her throughout the process; on the bad side, Shen Ximing removed his gentle disguise as soon as he entered the shooting range. I can't even hold it steady.

The personal teaching from Colonel Shen just ended in vain.

After this incident, Shen Xiuyuan completely believed that Shen Yuyao's palace was not deep, and he was not good at covering it up. If there were major changes, it would be easy to be noticed.After this incident, Shen Yuyao felt that her brother was indeed a soldier on the battlefield, and he couldn't be as big or small as before.

"Don't be distracted, focus."

A gentle male voice rang in her ears, and Shen Yuyao was startled when she came back to her senses, the gun in her hand almost fell off.However, a male hand stretched out to help, and it avoided the danger of a misfire.

Shen Yuyao put down the gun and patted the little heart that was still in shock.

The voice said with a slight smile: "Don't be distracted from the moment you touch the gun, or you will accidentally injure me, Miss Shen."

Shen Yuyao turned her head to look at the owner of the voice: "Who made you say the exact same thing as my brother, Du Bai?"

The young man named Du Bai smiled.He is fair-born, with soft features, and the light-colored three-piece suit makes him gentle and refined, making it easy for people to feel close.

"This is not an unexpected coincidence, Miss Shen." Du Bai said, "If you want to aim, you have to concentrate. This is the consensus of everyone."

"Of course I know I need to concentrate." Shen Yuyao curled her lips, "But I always miss the point."

"Okay, let me tell you about my experience, why don't you try it with me?" Du Baiying was tall and straight, smiling confidently, "Look at me, now, take a deep breath—"

The young man raised his hand slowly, making people involuntarily take a deep breath to the top, and then let it out slowly.

"One more time, inhale...and exhale.

"Inhale, exhale..." The young man stretched out his hand to cover the light in front of the girl's eyes, let her close her eyes, and guided softly, "Tighten your legs, stand up straight, but relax your brain, what? Don't even think about it.

"Feel your surroundings, be in it, blend in with it, sink in—and get out of the way."

The shooting range is soundproof, so quiet that it can cause tinnitus, and the faint smell of gunpowder smoke permeates the air.The girl didn't open her eyes until Du Bai counted "one, two, three" and took his hand away.

The young man smiled and asked, "How do you feel?"

"...I don't feel anything, except for a little relaxation." Shen Yuyao looked at her hands, "Do you really have no faster way to improve?"

Du Bai lowered his eyes and hid the smile on his mouth: "No."

"Don't lie to me, you obviously improved very fast that day. I can see very clearly that you were mediocre in the first two shots, but you almost overtook Henry Zhang in the back." Shen Yuyao approached him, "You..."

"Hey, I ordered a drink!"

The female companions who left halfway opened the door of the indoor shooting range, and the waiter serving drinks followed behind them.One of the girls showed the direction to put the things while taking off their gloves, and the other saw the two standing face to face, and joked, "Why, what's the matter with you two?"

Du Bai didn't argue with them in a gentlemanly manner, except that he was a woman soldier.Shen Yuyao raised her eyebrows in an inelegant way: "If there is a situation between us, will we still take you with us?"

"Okay, Miss Shen. You have to finish soon, and you still have to go shopping." The girls sat down casually, and deliberately sat in the corner in order not to disturb Shen Yuyao's practice.Shooting is a game for the rich and powerful, and now there are only these four young girls and guys in this shooting range—except of course for the waiter who stands in the corner and takes orders at any time.

Shen Yuyao turned to look at the target, raised the gun again, and whispered while aiming: "So, you still don't plan to help me, Du Bai?"

The young man didn't answer, and stood beside him with one hand in his pocket, turning his head to look in the direction of the target.

boom! boom! boom!

Shen Yuyao fired three shots in a row, and then asked people to move the target closer with a blank expression.After several days of practice, her performance has been better than when she competed with Henry Zhang for the first time, but it was not enough.

Shen Yuyao changed a magazine and raised the gun again.She wanted to concentrate as much as possible, but judging from the shooting results, the effect was not obvious.

Shen Yuyao quickly finished another clip.

Results are still not satisfactory.Shen Yuyao's stubborn temper was a bit aggressive, she didn't turn her head to look at Du Bai or the female companions, and silently changed the magazine again.

When she was about to raise the gun again, the young man next to her suddenly reached out to stop her action.

"Look at me, Shen Yuyao—sleep."

The girl's habitual movements were interrupted, and there seemed to be an irresistible voice in the short blank space, and she lowered her head.

"Now, put down the gun." The young man's voice was deep but firm, and he reached out to hold the girl's hand, and the girl let him take the gun away without any resistance, "You need my help, girl, now we Let's adjust."

"Take a deep breath.

"Imagine you raise the gun, inhale, and exhale slowly and calmly.

"When you exhale that breath, that's when you pull the trigger.

"This is the state where you are most focused and you are a 'sniper', just like any professional sniper.

"The 'sniper' is another you hidden in your body. As long as you pick up a gun, you will become a 'sniper'. In this state, you will become focused and relaxed, and concentrate on your target.

"Now, Shen Yuyao, listen to this and remember it."

The metal cover of a lighter popped open with a "clang", and the friction of the steel wheel was accompanied by a slight "click, click, click". After the flame was extinguished, the cover made a "click" sound.

This is the unique sound of D brand lighters. It is clear and melodious. It has been very popular in foreign countries since it was first launched, but it is still very rare in China.

"When you hear the sound, 'Sniper' will appear."

"You will feel that he is slowly controlling your body, your subconscious mind is working, and you start to focus. When the last bit of concentration is completed, you can close your eyes and silently count for three seconds like this—"

"one two three.

"Open your eyes and you're a 'sniper'."

"Du Bai, you two don't practice guns, what are you talking about?"

The female companions in the corner heard that there was no gunfire for a long time, and they all turned to ask about the situation.Du Bai smiled, and naturally stuffed the lighter into the inner pocket of his jacket: "Take a break."

Shen Yuyao was already awake, she folded her arms and asked beside her, "So, can I hold a gun now?"

Du Bai put the gun on the shooting stand, waved his hand and said with a smile, "Please."

Shen Yuyao picked up the gun, stood facing the target, turned her head to look at the target, and tried to refocus.

"When picking up the gun, first recall the state of concentration just now." Du Bai whispered, "Close your eyes, count silently for three seconds, and then open them."

Shen Yuyao complied.She was conscious and her eyes were clear, as if she had only blinked once slowly.However, distracting thoughts are being quickly eliminated, the outside world is blocked, and her spirit is completely focused on the target.

boom! boom! boom!

It wasn't until the entire magazine was finished that Shen Yuyao put down the gun with a long sigh of relief, and looked away from the target.

"Thank you." Du Bai took away her gun, motioned for the waiter to move the target closer, and then clapped his hands, "Oh, Miss Shen's talent is really amazing."

Of the eight bullets, the worst one was within the range of the sixth ring, and the others were all above the seventh ring, and one of them even landed in the center of the tenth ring.This result is not inferior to Henry Zhang. Even if the rules of the game are changed to eight rounds against eight rounds, Shen Yuyao in this state has a promising chance of winning.

Shen Yuyao herself was stunned, she carefully calculated the total number of rings, and couldn't hide her excitement: "Du Bai, I really have you!"

"It's not my credit, it's the talent that runs in your blood." The young man made a slight distance between his index finger and thumb, and said with a smile, "I just helped you concentrate a little bit."

Shen Yuyao thought about it and felt that it seemed to be the case, so she was a little happier.She waved her hand to ask the waiter to change the target paper and install a new magazine, and said enthusiastically: "I have to try two more times."

Du Bai didn't seem to need to make any more noise, he took a few steps back amidst the bang bang bang bang bang, and pulled a chair to sit beside him.Shen Yuyao's gun posture is still not very standard, but the result of this round is also very good.

When she finished loading the last round of magazines, Du Bai leisurely took out the lighter and cigarettes, ready to have one as if he had finished something and wanted to celebrate.

Clang!Click, click, click.rattling!

Shen Yuyao hadn't raised her gun yet, she hadn't even looked at the target, but she closed her eyes.

one two Three.
