Yin Shaojieâs eyes narrowed and he laughed mischievously. âThatâs boring. Itâs more fun when thereâs a bet. Feng Tianqi, donât you think so too?â
Hearing that, Feng Tianqi instinctively nodded and said, âYeah. Itâs more fun when you bet.â
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at them, irritated. âYou guys are really⦠Must you always have a bet? You guys are ill! Get it treated!â
She secretly shot a look at Yin Shaojie.
This pig-head! What if Feng Tianqi lost? He would have to accept the punishment. Given Feng Tianqiâs personality, he would definitely get unhappy. Wouldnât that defeat the purpose of coming here?
Yin Shaojie realized what she meant. On second thought, she seemed right. Of course, he wouldnât lose and he didnât want to lose on purpose either.
He spread open his hand and came to a compromise. âAlright then.â
Feng Tianqi didnât say anything. He had never wanted to play from the beginning.
Mu Xiaoxiao extended her hand to Yin Shaojie.
Without her saying anything, Yin Shaojie seemed to know what she wanted. He took a token and placed it in her hand.
âIâll go first!â Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said.
She walked up to the claw crane, put in the token, and her eyes instantly became focused. She stared at the claw above, aiming for the rag doll below.
Pah! She pressed the button forcefully.
Perhaps he was influenced by the intensity of her focus, but Feng Tianqi couldnât help but watch the claw.
The claw went down, grabbing at the doll.
Mu Xiaoxiao was very excited. She held her breath, quietly chanting, âGrab it, grab it, grab itâ¦â
The claw caught the doll.
Just as she was about to cheer, the rag doll slipped from the claw. The claw swayed back and forth as it returned to its original spot.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHumphâ¦â Mu Xiaoxiao whimpered gloomily as she slapped the machine.
Damn!
Why did she always fail to get it!
âClaw cranes nowadays are too tough, arenât they? How can you even pick anything up?â
Feng Tianqi scoffed and roasted her, âItâs you who is lousy at it. Donât blame it on the machine.â
âIf youâre so good, why donât you try it?â Mu Xiaoxiao taunted him, tilting her chin up at him.
âIâm not interested!â Feng Tianqi was still insisting on his stance.
He wasnât going to play such a childish game. It would hurt his image!
Mu Xiaoxiao taunted, âYou donât know how to play, do you? You only know how to talk big. Anyone can do that! Jie, show him what a pro is!â
Yin Shaojie looked at the claw crane, laughed, and said, âI havenât played in a long time. I donât know if I can get it.â
It wouldnât be surprising if he didnât get it. But heâd still lose face, wouldnât he?
Most importantly, they had a third wheel with them.
Mu Xiaoxiao pulled him to her, made him stand where she was standing, and helped him to slot in the token.
Forced to step up to the machine that he wasnât that good at, he had no choice but to play.
Sure enough, on his first try, he failed to get the toy.
On his second try, he caught it, but the toy dropped before reaching the end.
The third tryâ¦
The fourth tryâ¦
âSigh! What a pity!â Mu Xiaoxiao shouted, tugging at Yin Shaojieâs shirt anxiously.
Feng Tianqi rolled his eyes at them. Finally, he couldnât stand it anymore and said, âLet me do it! You donât even know how to play! Youâre just wasting the tokens.â
He went up to Yin Shaojie and stretched out his hand.
