Chereads / The Story of A Double Broth Hotpot / Chapter 12 - Chapter 12

Chapter 12 - Chapter 12

Qin Shi Ran took Han Bing to the hallway. The whole school has a festive atmosphere. People are calling out trying to attract the customer's attention to their classroom.

"Welcome to the maid cafe."

"Hey Bro, do you want to try our haunted house? It's super scary." A bloody warrior tried to pull this student into their room.

"Han Bing, do you have anywhere you want to go to?"

Han Bing took a look around.

"Trivia game. Those who answer all the questions will get the first place prize."

The idea of testing her knowledge crossed through her mind. "Let's go to that one."

Qin Shi Ran pushed her to the room.

When the judge saw that it was Han Bing who came in, they all started whispering.

"Isn't this Han Bing? I heard she's the first place in the school."

"Yeah. That's her. Did you go to see their play? She was so hot. I almost got bent."

"No, but I heard that it was pretty good."

"Guys, shush, we need to ask hard questions or else with Han Bing's brain, she's going to win the round."

"I got it. I bought a Hell mode set of trivia cards just in case someone smart comes in."

The other three judges gave him the thumbs up.

"All right, contestant. Prepare for the questions."

"Question 1, What color does gold leaf appear if you hold it up to the light?"

"Green"

"Correct. Question 2, What is the capital city of Paraguay?"

"Asuncion"

"Correct. Question 3, In Swedish, a skvader is a rabbit with what unusual features?"

"Wings"

The questions went on until the last question. Han Bing answered all of them correctly, and this is making the judges panic.

"Let's give her this one." The judges secretly discussed.

"For the last question, what is the 100th number of pie"

Han Bing paused. "9"

The judges became silent. Is this girl crazy? She even knows something like this.

Not hearing the judge say anything, Qin Shi Ran became anxious. "Is it correct or not?" He has been watching the whole time, but he completely did not understand what any of the questions were asking for.

The judge reluctantly said. "It's correct."

Han Bing smiled. Qin Shi Ran laughed out loud. "Dude, you're so smart." He completely forgot about the kiss scene and acted natural again.

The judge presented up the first prize to Han Bing. "Here you go. This is Queen Elizabeth's Eternal Love necklace. My father found it on the black market and managed to get it through the auction. There's a legend that if you give this necklace to your fated partner, you and your partner will be bonded forever. Pretty romantic isn't it?" The judge handed over the necklace to Han Bing.

Han Bing observed the necklace. Blue gem twined by gold leaves is hanging onto a silver lining. Han Bing couldn't find anything special about it as she studied it. Although it's pretty, the necklace is completely useless and it's tiresome to wear it on her neck. Not knowing the value of the necklace, Han Bing took the necklace while thinking about how to secretly dispose of it later.

Qin Shi Ran happily looked around the hall while pushing Han Bing.

"Wait. Stop for a sec."

"Why?" Qin Shi Ran asked confusedly. Han Bing took out the necklace, and as she was about to throw it in the nearby garbage can, Qin Shi Ran snatched it.

"What are you doing? You know how much this cost? If you don't want it, then give it to me." Qin Shi Ran kept it close to him, afraid that Han Bing would try to throw it again. He can't win against her if she uses force.

"You can keep it if you want." Han Bing carelessly answered.

Qin Shi Ran felt that he was smart for saving this necklace. He thought about the legend that the judge said. Qin Shi Ran's face flushed red. I-It's not like he wants to be with her or anything. He just thought throwing this pretty necklace would be a waste.

Qin Shi Ran wanted to change the topic. "Oh, there's an archery range over there. Let's see who can get the most prizes."

Han Bing showed a hint of interest. It has been a while since she did a shooting. Han Bing thought of the fun times she had when she was playing with the gang. If the gangsters hear her thoughts, they would surely have a chill. There was no "fun" in the "playing" they had.

Qin Shi Ran saw that she showed some interest and pushed her into the tent. The inside of the tent is a large field with the target board at the very end.

"Hey, young man. How many shots do you want?" the tent owner asked Qin Shi Ran.

"I want ten shots and also get ten shots for her." Qin Shi Ran gave in the money.

"Young lady, I see that you have no muscle, no leg. Are you sure you want to play archery? The bow is really hard to pull." The owner laughed.

"It's fine." Han Bing calmly said, ignoring his attitude.

Qin Shi Ran wanted to go up and argue. Han Bing put her hand out and stopped him.

"How many points do all of the items in your store worth?" Han Bing asked.

"100,000 points." the tent owner answered.

"Then, change my shots to 100."

The tent owner started laughing again. "You want to win all my store's items with just one hundred shots? Are you planning to get all one hundred arrows to the center of the target board?" The tent owner chuckled and shook his head. Youngsters these days only know how to fake coolness.

"Then, I will need to charge more money."

Qin Shi Ran forked in the money. Although he doesn't realize it, Qin Shi Ran has a sense of trust that Han Bing will be able to do it.

Han Bing tried pulling the bow and getting used to it. She took her first shot. Shoo. The first arrow strongly hit the target center. The tent owner whistled. Strong form, but that's still not possible for all of the arrows to hit the center of the target.

Shoo. Shoo… As time passed, the tent owner's face became pale. This girl is an archery prodigy!

People gathered around the tent. All exclaiming Han Bing's skill. Finally, the last arrow shot across the field. All one hundred arrows hitting the center! The watchers applauded.

The tent owner laughed awkwardly. "Young lady, I will get the prize for you." The tent owner stuffed the smaller items into several bags and put the big items into a wagon. When he dragged the items to them, he looked back and forth between Han Bing and Qin Shi Ran.

"You're her boyfriend? Here, hold the stuff. You have such a capable girlfriend. Hahaha" the tent owner patted his back.

"She's not my girlfriend."

"He's not my boyfriend."

Han Bing and Qin Shi Ran said at the same time.

"Yeah. yeah. I get it. You youngsters are shy. Just don't make your girlfriend mad later."

Han Bing and Qin Shi Ran came out of the tent with Qin Shi Ran carrying all the items.

"Can you get me this?" Han Bing pointed at the teddy bear on the cart. Qin Shi Ran recovered from his senses. He took out the huge teddy bear. Han Bing put it on her lap. She had never seen this creature before. Why is this creature attracting her?

For the first time, Han Bing, who never knew what is cute, finally understands the feeling of seeing something cute. Fuzzy and warm.

It was late at night, but the festive atmosphere was heightened.

"Shi Ran. Today was fun." Han Bing turned around and smiled.

Qin Shi Ran saw her smile and immediately looked down, not letting her see his face. "Yeah."
