Chapter 1153: Chapter 1141: New Year’s Eve Joy (Part 2)

"Congratulations, Little Huo, you’ve won the championship of this competition." Demmi’s clear voice rang out on the field.

At these words, Tang Xiaoquan lowered his head helplessly, but soon he cheerfully walked over to Hua Biao and jokingly said, "I say, Hua, don’t be upset. This is how the world is: the Yangtze River’s new waves push the old ones off the shore. Sooner or later, the old waves will end up on the beach. It’s time for you to consider bringing Little Huo into your team. This kid is definitely going to be a sharpshooter in the future!"

"Little Huo, here’s your prize!" Demmi took a bar of soap from the cabinet and handed it to Huo Yan.

Huo Yan hesitated for a few seconds, uncertainty written on his face.

"What’s wrong, Little Huo? Don’t you like this prize?"

Undoubtedly, Huo Yan really wasn’t interested in the soap.

It’s understandable; it would be strange for someone his age to be interested in a bar of soap.

However, Huo Yan not accepting the prize was a bit hard for his father, Huo Yuankai, to watch.

After all, they’ve only been in this camp for a week, and he didn’t want the people here to label his child as not fitting in.

"Hmm hmm ah ah!" Huo Yuankai walked up a few steps and gestured to his son, indicating he shouldn’t be picky.

Seeing this, Huo Yan had no choice but to accept it. But this made Wei Yang halt Huo Yuankai’s forceful action.

"Little Huo, do you want something else?"

As if he could see through people’s thoughts, as soon as Wei Yang spoke, Huo Yan’s expression changed.

But with his father beside him, Huo Yan couldn’t answer. He turned to look at his father, saw the stern look on his father’s face, and finally gave up on the idea of revealing the "truth."

Seeing this, Wei Yang patted Huo Yan’s head and then jokingly said, "Huo bro, it’s the New Year, don’t be so serious, being happy is what matters. Little Huo, tell your sister what you want?"

"Exactly! Huo bro, Little Huo beat everyone to take the crown; you should be happy. So, Little Huo, don’t be afraid, speak your mind. Tell sister Wei Yang what you like and what you want, today you don’t have to listen to your dad. If he dares to say anything, your brother Wen will back you up."

"Alright, alright! What are you saying? Are you recruiting little brothers for a gang?" Old Zhao glared at Tang Xiaoquan and whispered a few words into Huo Yuankai’s ear.

After coming back, Old Zhao bent over and smiled at Huo Yan: "Little Huo, it’s fine now. Your dad agreed to let you choose a prize, tell Uncle Zhao, what do you want?"

Without answering, Huo Yan still looked at Huo Yuankai.

Seeing this, Old Zhao raised a hand and waved at Huo Yuankai: "Old Huo, look how sensible your son is. Even now, he’s still asking for your opinion. So, how about giving him permission?"

Seeing his son’s eager eyes, Huo Yuankai couldn’t bear to refuse, so he nodded in agreement.

At that moment, Huo Yan’s previously troubled expression immediately relaxed, replaced by a bright smile.

"Mm-hmm," without any delay, Huo Yan quickly walked over to the shooting table, pointing at the firearms there, gesturing enthusiastically.

Old Zhao immediately understood the young man’s desires and laughed merrily: "Oh, so you want to have this gun as a prize, no problem, pick the one you like."

With permission granted, Huo Yan carefully scanned the firearms on the table and finally set his eyes on the sleek sniper Q.

"Whoa! Nice, Old Huo, your son is aiming to be a sniper. How about letting him follow me in the future?"

Old Xu, rarely jesting, made a playful remark at Huo Yuankai, who just beamed with the smile of a loving father, standing there grinning foolishly.

The second event, double ring toss.

This event had stirred up some amusing waves since registration began.

Old Lin and Old Zhao, as part of the middle-aged group, joined in first.

Then Tang Xiaoquan and Wu Chao, those two brothers, quickly followed suit.

A Chen and A Gai also paired up.

Just as Tang Xiaoquan and Wang Qiang were about to join, Tang Xiaoquan once again leaned into his nosy habits and joked mischievously: "Oh my, Quan, Qiang, you two, we all know you have a great relationship, don’t need to flaunt it during the New Year. Besides, your ten-plus years of friendship is unfair for this game. Um... Old Lin, don’t you think so?"

Pursing his lips toward Lin Junfu, Old Lin, being a clever person, immediately understood Tang Xiaoquan’s implication.

Feigning contemplation for a moment, then lightly nodded: "Exactly! If you two join, there’s no suspense in the game. You must separate and find new partners."

Stunned and at a loss, Wang Qiang looked at Tang Xiaoquan, while Tang Xiaoquan looked at Wang Qiang, with a hue of camaraderie evident on their faces.

Tang Xiaoquan saw this and continued to tease: "Emma, Emma can’t take it anymore, this strong affection is blinding my eyes, come on! Wei Yang, take care of your mischief!"

Tang Xiaoquan’s words implied something, making Wei Yang blush instantly, raising her pink fist to hit Tang Xiaoquan.

Tang Xiaoquan, pretending to beg for mercy, then exaggeratedly pleaded with Tang Xiaoquan for help: "I was wrong! I was wrong! Xiaotang take care of your spouse!"

While the scene was lively and happy due to Tang Xiaoquan’s playful words, Zhao Lina suddenly shouted: "Alright! Xiaowen, stop it, I have a plan. For fairness in the competition, sister Wei, you should pair with Quan, and I’ll go with Qiang. Everyone bring a girl, haven’t you something to say, Little Wen?"

A moment of silence fell, and everyone’s gazes turned towards Tang Xiaoquan.

Tang Xiaoquan looked at Zhao Lina, then at Wang Qiang, and finally swallowed a gulp of saliva, uncertainly saying: "This... would be best, but... I wonder... is Qiang okay with it?"

Hesitant, stammering, Tang Xiaoquan had none of his previous boldness.

It’s no wonder, since Wang Qiang’s sorrow was known to all, Tang Xiaoquan loved to joke and be mischievous, but it was all harmless.

Now that Zhao Lina was publicly requesting to partner with Wang Qiang, truthfully, Tang Xiaoquan felt uncertain. He wasn’t sure if Wang Qiang would agree to be with a woman.

He didn’t want his antics to remind Wang Qiang of his past.

That’s why his attitude made such a 180-degree turn, suddenly becoming cautious and timid.

"I don’t mind."

To everyone’s surprise, Wang Qiang’s reply was as calm as ever.

Upon hearing Wang Qiang agree to her suggestion, Zhao Lina happily walked over to Wang Qiang’s side, and without caring about others, she wrapped her arm around his, smiling and asking: "Anyone else want to join? If not, let’s get started."

What situation is this!? Seeing Zhao Lina’s bold behavior, Old Lin and the others almost instinctively looked at Old Zhao.

To this, Old Zhao could only offer a wry smile, thinking to himself: his daughter has indeed inherited her mother’s character, being so straightforward!
