Chapter 196 - Unexpected Outcome
After giving his wife a lucky charm kiss, Tristan went back to his teammates, Blake and Jake. Everyone still had a stunned expression on their faces.
"What a shameless guy!" Mark mumbled as he looked daggers at Tristan.
"Heh, acting lovey-dovey in front of everyone… well let's see if you can still do it after tonight," Daniel said, a sly smile appeared on his face.
Andrew just frowned after hearing that. He saw Mark and Daniel exchanging meaningful glances with one another.
'Are they up to something again?' Andrew thought to himself, eyeing Mark and Daniel suspiciously.
'I hope not. Today is the Davis Family Gathering. They should stop creating more trouble. I'll keep my eyes on them," Andrew made a mental note.
Then Andrew took one last glance at Zhen-Zhen before he averted his gaze back to Hannah.
After a while, Matthew called the attention of the shooters of the different teams. Zhen-Zhen, Hannah, and the other two cousins of Tristan were now ready to shoot.
All eyes were on the four of them, especially on Zhen-Zhen and Hannah. They were anticipating the result of the performance of these two ladies.
Because of Tristan's action, kissing his wife in front of everyone a while ago, their two cousins were distracted.
They could get that passionate moment out of their minds. They lost their concentration, thus only hitting the 8 and 7 points mark.
Meanwhile, Hannah's expression felt like she was ready to murder someone. To regain her focus, she imagined that her target was Zhen-Zhen. Surprisingly, Hannah hit the 9 points mark.
Everyone was amazed by Hannah's performance. They didn't expect that she would be able to hit the 9 points mark in this round.
Mrs. Miller: "Wow! That's my daughter!"
Mr. Miller: "Oh Hannah did it!"
Her parents were very proud of her. For a beginner like her, hitting the 9 point mark was unexpected. She almost hit the bullseye.
"Whoa, Andrew, you taught her well!" Mark patted Andrew's back, praising him.
"Hahaha, I'm glad, we will not be in the last place in this category! Good job everyone!" Daniel also rejoiced with the result.
Only Zhen-Zhen had not made her shot yet. She was still trying to adjust her arm in holding the gun. Tristan taught her a while ago the proper positioning before making a shot.
She was recalling everything and retrieving the information in her mind. She was determined to do her best. She was also inspired and motivated because of Tristan's action a while ago.
She didn't want to fail her team, especially Tristan. He had high hopes and expectations for her so she should do well.
Zhen-Zhen took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a moment. Tristan's handsome face flashed in her mind.
{ "Now, do your best, Wifey! Let's win this round!" }
'Hmmm, Let's do this Zhen-Zhen. Red Team for the win.' Zhen-Zhen thought to herself before opening her eyes and aiming her gun at the target.
Her clear blue eyes that were always gentle became fiercer as she glanced at the target.
Tristan was watching her with a confident smile while Jake and Blake were nervous, praying and wishing that miracle would happen.
'Please hit even the 9 point mark.' The twins were silently praying in their minds.
After a few seconds, Zhen-Zhen finally pulled the trigger.
Bang!
There was a moment of deafening silence afterward. No one made a sound. If they had a stunned expression a while ago then their expression right now was beyond that.
They were shocked beyond belief. They couldn't believe it. Lillie just hit the bullseye! A perfect 10 for the red team!
"Meow! Meow! Meow!"
FaMo's meowing was heard, breaking the deafening silence. He congratulated Zhen-Zhen for hitting the bullseye.
Then it was followed by Tristan's scream. "I knew it! My Wife can hit the Bullseye!"
He jumped, punching the air before he ran towards Zhen-Zhen. He immediately hugged and lifted her in his arms, spinning their bodies around.
"You made it, Wifey! You made it!"
"Yes… for our team...and for you, Hubby!"
Blake: "Damn! What a lucky girl?! She really hit the bullseye just like what Tristan had said to us."
Jake: "Oh gosh! Instead of being at the last place, we became the first placer in this round!"
Isabelle: "Ahem, my team won the first round. It looks like I will have a slave for one week soon."
Lucas: "Hehe, we still have two rounds left, Honey."
Grandpa Lu: "See… that's my granddaughter-in-law! Who said that the Red Team would lose this round? Hahaha."
Grandpa Alejandro: "..."
Grandpa Clara: "..."
Mr. and Mrs. Miller were both rendered speechless just like others. They didn't expect that Lillie had this kind of luck. They were thinking that this was just pure luck.
Thomas and Alice couldn't contain their happiness because the Red team won the first category.
Hannah, Mark, and Daniel had the gloomy expression in the Blue Team. Only Andrew was smiling. He was happy for Lillie and he was amazed by her marksmanship.
He saw her posture and expression a while ago when she was shooting. He believed that this was not because of pure luck.
Soon, Matthew announced the score of each team and declared the winner for this first event.
Green Team: 10, 9, 10, 7= 36 (4th Placer)
Yellow Team: 10, 10, 9, 8 = 37 ( Tie Breaker)
Blue Team: 9, 9, 10, 9= 37 (Tie Breaker)
Red Team: 9, 9, 10, 10= 38 (1st Placer)
Since there was a tie between the Yellow and Blue Team, the two teams repeated another round. In the end, The Yellow Team became 2nd Placer while the Blue team became 3rd Placer.
After the announcement of the result, everyone got a 15-minute break before they proceeded to the next event: Sack Race.
Because the Red team was on the lead, Mark and Daniel planned to sabotage them in the next event. They even asked the Green team to cooperate with them.
So in the next round, mischief happened to the other members of the Red Team.
