Mu Xiaoxiao said, âI donât want to. I havenât played for a long time. What if I do badly? Itâll be embarrassing!â
Seeing that they were unwilling to play, she had no choice but to give up.
âAlright then. You guys can play the basketball game. See who scores the most points. No objections, right?â
As they walked over to the basketball shootout machine, she glanced back at the dance machine longingly.
Sigh, she really wanted to watch Yin Shaojie play!
She pouted, nudged Yin Shaojie with her elbow, looked at him, and said, âYou donât want to play?â
Yin Shaojie curled his finger and knocked her on the head, saying, âStop dreaming about it!â
âLame!â Mu Xiaoxiao puffed up her cheeks and said, âI thought there was nothing that could faze you. So you do have things that you suck at.â
âNo one is good at everything.â Yin Shaojie put his arm over her shoulder and took the chance to kiss her on the cheek.
âHowever, Iâm very happy that you see me in that light.â
Except for things like that dance machine, he would do his best to make her happy in other areas.
For exampleâ¦
Yin Shaojie looked at the basketball shootout machine in front of him, his eyes brimming with confidence.
âCome on. Letâs have a match!â He said to Feng Tianqi. Yin Shaojie grabbed a basketball and raised it up, and with a flick of the wrist, he threw the ball through the hoop.
Feng Tianqiâs competitive spirit was roused. âAlright!â
Standing at the side as the referee, Mu Xiaoxiao grinned and shouted, âBegin!â
The two men slotted the tokens in at the same time.
The next second, orange basketballs were flying through the air and it was a dazzling sight.
The score on both sides were rising rapidly. They were evenly matched, one-upping one another. It was difficult to see who was dominant.
Mu Xiaoxiao was very excited, her fist clenched as she jumped and shouted. âYin Shaojie! Letâs go! Yin Shaojie! Go, go!â
Yin Shaojie was happy that she was cheering for him. The corner of his lips curled up in a smile.
At that moment, he took the lead.
Feng Tianqi frowned, dissatisfied as he said to Mu Xiaoxiao, âDidnât you say that you were going to cheer me up? Youâre not cheering for me. Arenât you being biased?â
Mu Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue, and she sang a different tune, âFeng Tianqi! Letâs go! Yin Shaojie! You too! Letâs go you two!â
Feng Tianqi was still not unsatisfied.
âYou have to cheer for me alone! Not him!â He protested, his hands not stopping as he continued to catch up to Yin Shaojieâs score.
âOkay, okay, okay, Feng Tianqi! Go, go! Feng Tianqi! Go, go! Feng Tianqi is the best! Feng Tianqi is the greatest!â Mu Xiaoxiao smoothed his feathers.
Yin Shaojie tutted and shot a look at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled at him.
The two had reached an intense stage of the battle.
It was harder to catch up in the later part of the game and there was little difference in their scores.
âBeepâââ the basketball shootout machine made the ending beep.
Yin Shaojie won by a few points!
Feng Tianqi wouldnât accept his defeat, âAgain!â
Yin Shaojie ignored him and turned to Mu Xiaoxiao to receive her praise.
âXiaoxiaoâ¦â
However, Mu Xiaoxiao was not even looking at him and she didnât know that the game had ended.
Yin Shaojie looked where she was looking. A handsome man was playing the dance machine.
He frowned with displeasure. His large hand stretched out and blocked her sight.
âWhat are you doing!â Mu Xiaoxiao looked like she were waving off flies as she pushed his hand away.
