Chapter 5 - Chapter 5 Can Aunt Shoot Arrows?

On a sunny weekend, Ella suddenly suggested going to the backyard of the villa. "There's an archery range in the backyard. I used to love archery very much," Ella said, sitting in her wheelchair and looking at the target in the distance with a nostalgic glint in her eyes.Ethan was a little surprised. "Aunt, can you shoot arrows?""I used to take part in equestrian and archery competitions regularly," Ella smiled, "but I haven't touched them since the accident."Ethan pushed her to the archery range. The target was clean and tidy, obviously taken care of regularly. There were several exquisite bows and arrows in the cabinet nearby, which looked quite valuable."Want to have a try?" Ella looked at him.Ethan shook his head. "I've never shot an arrow before.""I'll teach you," Ella motioned for him to take a bow. "Hold the bow with your left hand, draw the string with your right hand, aim at the center of the target, and release slowly."Following her instructions, Ethan pulled the bowstring to its full extent and aimed at the target center, but his hands were slightly trembling."Don't be nervous. Take a deep breath," Ella's voice came to his ears. Unexpectedly, she got up herself, walked behind him, and held his hands. "Keep your eyes on the target center and feel the tension of the bowstring."A warm body pressed against his back, and a faint scent of perfume lingered around his nose. Ethan's heart suddenly raced.Under Ella's guidance, he released the bowstring. The arrow hit the target paper steadily. Although it didn't hit the ten-point ring, it was within the eight-point ring."Great, you have a talent for this," Ella praised him, a rare bright smile appearing on her face.
