My organs are too abstract.

There was a moment of silence.

The next moment, low gasps of surprise rose and fell.

"Holy crap, he's so handsome?!"

"This guy must have had some training, his movements are so smooth!"

"He's also very handsome!"

Xu Yuan's movements were incredibly swift and precise.

With a slight twist of the wrist, the rope loop drew a clean arc in the air, precisely securing the doll with a quick snap and lock. With a gentle pull of the wrist, the doll was steadily brought back into the hand.

The entire operation was smooth and efficient, as clean and decisive as a cowboy in a Western movie catching his fleeing prey, without the slightest hesitation.

Zhao Ze's eyes widened in disbelief, and he exclaimed, "Brother Yuan, you're amazing! You're practically cheating!"

The elf senior was also stunned and couldn't help but exclaim, "Junior, you're amazing!"

Several roommates joined in shouting "666!" Liu Cheng even waved the video he had just recorded on his phone and exclaimed, "As expected of Brother Yuan, his skills are truly exceptional."

Several girls watching nearby glanced at the outstanding Xu Yuan, their expressions shifting slightly, but they were too embarrassed to approach him.

"You guys want to add Yuan-ge's contact information, right?"

Xu Liang, who seemed to appear out of nowhere, immediately approached, his face full of flattery: "You've come to the right person for this, I'm his best buddy... By the way, shall we add each other on WeChat first?"

Su Nian stood to the side, looking at the cushion in her hand, then at Xu Yuan. Although she didn't say anything, a clear look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"Wow!" The round-faced girl next to her blushed with excitement. "So cool! So amazing!"

Xu Yuan remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was secretly delighted. Then he heard the girl add, "What's even more remarkable is that someone so handsome is also a romantic! How incredibly romantic!"

"?"

Xu Yuan's calm and collected expression froze instantly.

"Don't give me that tantrum," he said, glancing at the round-faced girl with annoyance. "I already told you it's a rumor."

While Xu Yuan was surrounded by people, being the center of attention, Yang Minghao stood alone and stunned, like a stray dog ​​abandoned by the roadside, looking utterly forlorn and out of place.

He was still unconvinced, and when he caught a glimpse of Su Nian's surprised gaze, his jealousy flared even more. He stubbornly retorted, "You must have just gotten lucky! Try again if you dare! I don't believe you can win every time!"

Xu Yuan glanced at him indifferently and nodded calmly, "Okay."

He was about to throw the rope hoop when, as if remembering something, he turned to his roommates and asked, "Do any of you want one?"

The group waved their hands, indicating they weren't interested in the toys.

Zhao Ze looked disgusted and said, "What's the point of these things? They're so childish. They'd be more like Ultraman figurines."

Xu Yuan then looked at the elf senior beside him and asked, "Does senior have any favorite things?"

"Me?" The senior student paused, clearly not expecting him to ask her. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and after hesitating for a few seconds, she pointed to a soft cartoon pillow. "Um... is that okay?"

"OK."

Xu Yuan's words were concise and to the point, without any unnecessary movements. With a casual flick of his wrist, the rope loop landed precisely and securely caught the pillow. His movements were even more relaxed and effortless than before.

This time, his move was witnessed by even more onlookers, who exclaimed in amazement, "Wow, that's awesome!"

Xu Yuan didn't pay any attention. He pulled the pillow back with his wrist and casually handed it to his senior.

The senior student, holding a soft cushion, looked up at Xu Yuan, who had a calm expression, and her heart skipped a beat. She smiled and said with a smile, "Thank you, junior."

Xu Yuan smiled and was about to put the rope away when he noticed the round-faced girl next to Su Nian staring at him with bright, expectant eyes, her gaze practically overflowing with unspoken meaning.

Xu Yuan found it amusing, but pretended not to see it, shook his head and said, "Since no one needs it anymore, let's call it a day."

As soon as she finished speaking, the round-faced girl panicked, jumping up and pointing directly at herself: "Me! Me! Me too!"

Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow: "So, will you still spread rumors about me in the future?"

The girl blinked her innocent big eyes and tilted her head with a pure expression: "What rumor? I don't understand."

Xu Yuan shook his head helplessly, then with a slight twist of his wrist, slipped an oversized plush pillow over her head.

"hey-hey……"

The round-faced girl happily hugged him, nuzzling him again and again, unable to let go.

Watching this scene, Su Nian said with a hint of teasing and meaning, "I didn't realize you were so capable."

"Of course," Xu Yuan smiled smugly, "that's the skill, you just need to watch and learn more."

After saying that, he suddenly realized he seemed to have forgotten something, turned to look at Yang Minghao, whose face was growing increasingly dark, and asked, "Do you have any other questions?"

Yang Minghao opened his mouth, feeling somewhat embarrassed, but he didn't want to leave so dejectedly.

He stared at the black rope in Xu Yuan's hand, his eyes darting around, and finally found a flimsy excuse:

"Your rope is definitely better than mine. If I had this rope, I could hit the target every time!"

"If you're not good at it, don't blame the road for being uneven. If you're bad at it, don't make excuses." Zhao Ze couldn't help but retort. "If you're so capable, then go and try it out. Stop just talking."

"Let's give it a try! Who's afraid of who!"

Yang Minghao regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth, but the words were already out in the open, and he couldn't back down. He could only bite the bullet and try to salvage the situation: "But others might not lend it to me."

Yang Minghao had a plan in mind. He could tell that Xu Yuan didn't really want to talk to him and probably wouldn't lend him the rope. This was a good opportunity to back down gracefully.

"I'm not that stingy," Xu Yuan suddenly said, giving him a strange look as if he had thought of something. "You can take it and use it."

"what?"

Yang Minghao froze on the spot, caught between a rock and a hard place, and could only grit his teeth and take the rope from Xu Yuan's hand.

As soon as he touched the rope, he sensed something was wrong—it was unusually heavy, and when he held it, it carried a strange chill.

He didn't have time to think it through. He forced himself to stay alert, pinched the bottom of the noose with his fingers, raised it above his head and slowly rotated it, preparing the strength and timing for his strike.

The surrounding noise gradually subsided, and everyone looked at him curiously, wondering if he could actually snag the prize.

Yang Minghao took a deep breath, mustered all his strength, and was about to swing the rope out with all his might.

But just as the rope slipped from his grasp, for some unknown reason, an absurd mistake occurred—

Instead of flying towards the doll in front, the noose wobbled twice in the air before plummeting straight down.

It was perfectly positioned, and it was forcefully placed around his own neck.

This absurd and comical scene left everyone present stunned.

There was a two-second silence, followed by a deafening burst of laughter.

"Hahaha, he's put it around his own neck!"

"Holy crap, this young man!"

"I've never seen anything like it! This is the first time I've ever seen someone get caught in a ring toss game! Amazing!"

Chen Liang, who was chatting animatedly with several girls not far away, caught a glimpse of this scene and couldn't help but laugh:

"So that's why he had the courage to go on stage! Turns out he's not just good at it, he's got real skills! I'll have to give him a 50-cent tip later, he's hilarious!"

Zhao Ze laughed so hard his whole body trembled, but he forced himself to suppress his laughter and walked to Xu Yuan's side with a serious expression, saying in a solemn tone:

"I've seen plenty of staged accidents, but bumping into a rope is rare. Brother Yuan, won't you end up in jail because of your involvement?"

Li Da was excitedly filming a video on his phone, while Liu Cheng leaned over with a puzzled look: "What are you so happy about?"

"You don't understand," Li Da explained without looking up. "Brother Long lost face today and looks like he's about to become depressed. I filmed this video and showed it to him. Maybe it will help him get over it sooner."

Hearing the laughter and gossip around him, Yang Minghao's face turned as red as a boiled shrimp, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

He frantically freed his neck from the noose, instinctively explaining, "This is the first time I've used this rope, I'm not used to it, it was a complete mistake!"

After saying that, he closed his eyes tightly, gripped the black rope tightly with both hands, and tried to clear his mind to block out external disturbances.

The black rope in his hand emanated a chilling aura that inexplicably suppressed the anxiety in his heart.

The noise around me gradually faded away, as if I were isolated in another world by an invisible barrier.

Yang Minghao silently recited a calming mantra he had somehow learned, imagining the vastness of heaven and earth and the stillness of all things. A mysterious feeling quietly grew in his heart.

He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze becoming incredibly sharp. He felt as if everything around him had slowed down, and he could see every blade of grass and every tree with exquisite detail.

Suddenly, a powerful realization welled up in my heart.

—He, Yang Minghao, has attained enlightenment!

"call--"

He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, his eyes fixed on the doll in front of him. With a sharp look, he gathered his strength in his dantian and threw the black rope forward with all his might!

"Today, with this one blow, I will wash away all my shame!"

Go!

The black rope, carrying his anger, his resentment, and all the insights he had gained in his life, flew straight forward with a do-or-die spirit.

The moment the rope slipped from his grasp, he understood—

This strike is sure to hit!

"Why is this kid suddenly so confident?" Zhao Ze asked uncertainly. "Could he really hit the bullseye?"

The others were also taken aback by Yang Minghao's sudden aura, and their eyes all followed the black rope.

The black rope continued to speed forward.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, and with Yang Minghao's incredibly confident and expectant gaze... Black Rope plunged headfirst into the crowd of onlookers.

It precisely targeted one person in the crowd, and with a "whoosh," it accurately looped the noose around his neck.

Yang Minghao: "..."

The crowd present: "..."
