Could you demonstrate your skill at hitting a target from a hundred paces for everyone?

“Alright, I’m going live then.”

With a cheerful expression, Zhang Chuchu pulled out her phone and logged into her Weibo account.

“Hello everyone, I’m your Chuchu. It’s great to see you all. Today, we’re here at… ta-da~”

Facing the camera, Zhang Chuchu suddenly transformed into a sweet, gentle girl, even lowering the tone of her voice noticeably.

Despite the damage to her reputation from being pushed out of the “Center Position Girl Group,” Zhang Chuchu still had a fair number of devoted fans who backed her unwaveringly. Moreover, many major online operators were claiming that Su Yunjin had powerful financial backing behind the scenes.

This narrative painted Zhang Chuchu as the one who was wrongfully caught in the crossfire.

With her new “Hardworking and Resilient” persona from the “Blood and Steel Troops” show, Zhang Chuchu unexpectedly attracted a fresh wave of fans.

Combined with her original loyal followers, she now had a sizable crowd watching over her.

The moment the live stream started, thousands of viewers flooded in.

“Chuchu’s live!”
“Haha, awesome! Chuchu actually has time to hang out!”
“She did say she’d go live when she’s free, didn’t expect it to be true.”
“Chuchu, I love you! Chu Land will always be your home!!”

Amid the fans’ cheers and the curiosity of casual viewers seeing a celebrity live stream, virtual gifts like planes, cruise ships, and carnivals started pouring in one after another in the blink of an eye.

The amount of virtual coins quickly hit millions, which converted to tens of thousands in soft currency!

Making this kind of money within minutes was far better than acting or anything else.

A fleeting smile crossed Zhang Chuchu’s eyes as she continued to hold the camera on herself. “Let me show you the place here.”

She flipped the camera around, revealing the shooting range environment.

Their reserved area wasn’t very large; it was a luxury booking, so it was slightly bigger than others, with tables, chairs, and complimentary drinks.

However, compared to the sprawling entertainment venues spanning hundreds or even dozens of acres as depicted in TV dramas, it seemed quite modest.

In fact, to those used to the grandeur of domineering CEOs in dramas, this reserved space almost looked shabby.

“Such a small place?”
“I knew Chuchu was down-to-earth.”
“So Chuchu enjoys relaxing in places just like us.”

As expected, after Zhang Chuchu showed the scene of the new location, many viewers began feeling sorry for her, and some even started building her image as “grounded and approachable.”

But that wasn’t all.

In the live stream, Zhang Chuchu cleverly caught the silhouette of Su Yunjin in the background.

With Su Yunjin trending on social media and her soaring popularity—along with the previous conflict between Zhang Chuchu and Su Yunjin—Su’s appearance instantly grabbed everyone’s attention.

“Is that Su Yunjin?”
“Su Yunjin is actually hanging out with Chuchu?”
“No way, am I seeing things? Weren’t they supposed to be at odds? How is this possible?”

When “Blood and Steel Troops” first aired, many expected intense clashes between Zhang Chuchu and Su Yunjin.

Yet reality was quite the opposite.

Their interactions were minimal, and with Su Yunjin’s outstanding performance in the latest episodes, she overshadowed Zhang Chuchu, making her hard to notice.

People assumed they had no connection, but unexpectedly, they were actually out together.

“There’s Zheng E.”
“Is Zhang Xiaoxiao here too?”
“So Guo Tongyue isn’t around?”

Upon spotting Su Yunjin, netizens noticed others as well, though Guo Tongyue didn’t appear on screen.

Just as everyone wondered if Guo Tongyue was being left out, her voice came through: “Look, I hit the target!”

“Yueyue, why don’t you say hi to everyone?”

Zhang Chuchu looked toward Guo Tongyue.

Off-camera, Guo Tongyue rolled her eyes but didn’t turn her back in anger.

“Hello, don’t look at me. Just watch Teacher Zhang’s live stream.”

As a former child star and the new darling of the capital’s social circle, Guo Tongyue had the confidence and status to speak so bluntly.

Her cold expression was invisible to the audience but clearly seen by Zhang Chuchu.

However, Zhang Chuchu dared not show her reaction; given Guo Tongyue’s backing, she had no chance in a confrontation.

Ignoring it, Zhang Chuchu smiled at her viewers. “Xiaoyue is playing archery now. We had shooting earlier, but Xiaoyue is obsessed with this.”

Though the explanation felt awkward, many in Zhang Chuchu’s live stream were captivated.

Even the die-hard fans noticed Guo Tongyue’s cold attitude but chose to turn a blind eye in light of her status.

At the archery range, Guo Tongyue barely acknowledged Zhang Chuchu, pulling an arrow to the bowstring.

Feet planted firmly, one hand holding the bow, the other drawing the string.

Thwack.

The string tightened, and the black arrow whistled through the air, tracing a small arc before landing several meters short of the target.

“Ah, missed again?”

Guo Tongyue, who had thought she had mastered the technique, looked dejected.

Glancing at Su Yunjin nearby, she asked, “Yunjin, can you teach me how to hit the target? Look at my stance.”

She demonstrated the bow-drawing posture.

“That’s not right. You should lower your head a bit, and…”

Su Yunjin patiently guided Guo Tongyue, explaining how to focus on the target, exert force, and at what height to hold the bow and arrow.

For a moment, Su Yunjin and Guo Tongyue formed a small circle, leaving Zhang Chuchu somewhat isolated behind the camera.

But this was only superficial.

What Su Yunjin didn’t notice was Zhang Chuchu quietly turning the camera back to her.

“You know what? The main reason we came to the archery range today is to watch Teacher Su shoot. Teacher Su,”

Zhang Chuchu approached Su Yunjin with a bright, radiant smile, ignoring whether Su consented and aimed the camera at her.

“What’s up?”

Knowing Zhang Chuchu’s intent, Su Yunjin naturally wouldn’t let her succeed.

She was a master at pretending to be kind and cheerful.

Smiling brightly into the camera, she waved and adopted a friendly, harmonious demeanor, making her closeness to Zhang Chuchu appear more genuine, even brushing her arm casually.

Zhang Chuchu’s smile faltered briefly but she quickly composed herself and, beaming, said to Su Yunjin,

“Teacher Su, didn’t you say you could hit a bullseye from a hundred paces? Since I’m live streaming, can you show everyone a demonstration today?”
