After hearing what Jin Yuanhang said, Xue Chuchu said:
"They are my good friends."
She did not introduce in detail, but Jin Yuanhang was just a classmate. If it were narcissistic, Xue Chuchu felt that he had special fantasies about her.
Yes, Xue Chuchu knew that she was good-looking, and when many boys approached her, she could tell what they were thinking.
Xue Chuchu had an average impression of Jin Yuanhang. If her deskmate Mu Ying hadn't made an appointment with her in advance, she wouldn't have come out at all.
She prefers to play with Tongtong than with her classmates.
Tongtong is not only a very fun person, but also a great cook.
After several times of freeloading, Xue Chuchu knew that the behavior of freeloading was not worth advocating, but she really looked forward to Tongtong looking for her. Every time Tongtong looked for her, it must mean that there would be something delicious.
After hearing this, Jin Yuanhang asked with a smile: "Your friends look about the same age as us. Are they students? Why haven't I met them in No. 2 Middle School?"
"He was in the same class as us and studied in No. 4 Middle School." Xue Chuchu answered.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene became slightly weird. Jin Yuanhang, Tao Zhi, and Mu Ying were students of Yuzhou No. 2 Middle School.
It’s not obvious yet in junior high school, but in high school, schools are divided into different levels. There is no doubt that No. 2 Middle School is far superior to other high schools in the city.
Last year, Yuzhou No. 2 Middle School’s enrollment rate was as high as 80%, and its bachelor’s degree rate was over 95%.
No. 2 Middle School is the high school that countless parents look forward to their children attending.
Yuzhou No. 2 Middle School is divided into four grades just for classes.
Qingbei class, experimental class, fast class, parallel class.
As for Jin Yuanhang and the others, their class is one of the two Qingbei classes. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as they enter the Qingbei class of No. 2 Middle School, even the worst student in the class can easily get a 211.
It is no exaggeration to say that the students of the Qingbei Class of No. 2 Middle School are the treasures of Yuzhou’s education community.
As a student, the most important thing is grades. High school is almost all about grades.
Originally, when Jin Yuanhang saw Jiang Ning's handsome appearance, he thought he was a strong rival, but now it seems, haha.
From No. 4 Middle School?
What it is.
As a student in the Qingbei Class of No. 2 Middle School, he couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority, so his smile showed a hint of superiority.
"You're from No. 4 Middle School. He's pretty good. He has a good future." Jin Yuanhang praised.
A student next to him answered: "No. 4 Middle School is okay. Their experimental class is probably a little better than our fast class."
Jin Yuanhang was noncommittal: "After all, it is an experimental class."
Tao Zhi, who wears black-rimmed glasses, is a relatively introverted boy and does not have a sense of superiority.
He has great ambitions. Although he enjoys the educational resources of the Qingbei Class, in his opinion, the education level in Yuzhou City is still at the lower middle level in the entire Hui Province.
Often ridiculed by other cities next door.
He knew that this situation would inevitably change in the future.
Several people talked for a while.
Xue Yuantong said naively: "You are from the Qingbei class. You are so awesome. I also wanted to get into the Qingbei class in junior high school."
After Jin Yuanhang heard this, a smile appeared on his lips. Looking at the little girl's envy, he became even more proud.
He joked and said: "Then you should work hard for the high school entrance examination. The threshold for the second high school is still not low."
Jin Yuanhang didn't mention Qingbei Class, only No. 2 Middle School.
In his opinion, the fact that ordinary people can get into the second middle school is worthy of bragging.
"High school entrance examination? My high school entrance examination is over and I am now a high school student." Xue Yuantong explained.
I was looked down upon again, so angry!
"Um, you are a high school student?" Jin Yuanhang was shocked. Just now Xue Chuchu said that they were students of the same class, but he only thought of boys and ignored the little girls.
Who would have thought that the other party was actually a high school student!
He looked at Xue Yuantong. He was so short that he was shorter than the shortest girl in his class.
Not only because of her size, but mainly because of this little girl, her face is smaller, her demeanor is more like a primary school student.
Xue Yuantong felt offended: "No doubt, I am a high school student."
"Uh, okay." Jin Yuanhang laughed dryly, and then he said:
"It seems that you have no chance to study in No. 2 Middle School. To be honest, only by coming to No. 2 Middle School can you realize your potential to a greater extent."
Jin Yuanhang spoke eloquently: "Of course, there is no chance at all. If you have great potential, you can also transfer to our No. 2 Middle School."
Tao Zhi felt that Jin Yuanhang was looking at the sky from the bottom of a well. They were in the Qingbei class and compared with the top students from all over the country. They should not limit their sights to No. 2 Middle School.
However, Tao Zhi didn't say anything. He was very introverted.
Xue Chuchu was not stupid, she heard something from Jin Yuanhang's words.
Perhaps other students acquiesced in what Jin Yuanhang said.
But Xue Chuchu doesn't know how to do it. Tongtong is her good friend, and besides, her grades...
Xue Chuchu said: "Tongtong shouldn't need to transfer to another school, she is doing well now."
"I forgot to tell you, her name is Xue Yuantong and his name is Jiang Ning."
Xue Chuchu introduced them one by one.
Tao Zhi on the side was suddenly stunned. He wondered why the name Xue Yuantong was so familiar.
Xue Yuantong from No. 4 Middle School?
Final unified examination, Xue Yuantong from No. 4 Middle School???
Tao Zhi suddenly recalled the fear of being dominated by this name during the city's unified examination at the end of last year.
His expression changed, he quickly stared at the little girl, and blurted out:
"Your name is Xue Yuantong!?"
Jin Yuanhang was confused, why was Tao Zhi's reaction so great? Wasn't it just the same name, Xue Yuantong?
Um, Xue Yuantong...
Jin Yuanhang was stupid.
Tao Zhi didn't wait for her answer and asked, "Did you rank first in the city last time?"
Xue Yuantong pulled Jiang Ning's clothes and said calmly: "It's me, what's wrong?"
"Why did you get such high scores!"
Tao Zhi's Qingbei class was making up classes during the winter vacation of the first year of high school. A teacher specially copied Xue Yuantong's test paper and analyzed it for everyone to see.
In the past, in the city's unified examination, the first place in the city was basically No. 2 Middle School and Tuxian No. 1 Middle School. This time, it actually fell to No. 4 Middle School, and it was not just an ordinary first place.
Generally speaking, the more top students are, the harder it is to widen the gap between them, but Xue Yuantong just has a huge gap with them.
Jin Yuanhang tried to ask: "Are you the Xue Yuantong who ranked first in the city?"
Xue Yuantong said matter-of-factly: "Yes, I am Xue Yuantong."
"Uh..." This is so embarrassing!
Thinking back to what he had done in front of Xue Yuantong just now, Jin Yuanhang no longer wanted to do it, but he still pointed him out.
If Xue Chuchu hadn't been there, he would have even wanted to turn around and go home. What a big deal!
…
After the conversation just now, Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong barely got to know Xue Chuchu's classmates.
Jin Yuanhang saw that there was no other way. He had lost a little face just now, but in front of Xue Chuchu, he decided to regain his face.
He did not mention that everyone should play his own way, but suggested:
"Since we are together, why not play together? There is a good electronic arcade here in the first phase. There are a lot of things to play in it. Let's take a look together?"
Tao Zhi said: "I have no objection."
Jin Yuanhang thought to himself, it doesn't matter whether you have an opinion or not. What matters is whether Xue Chuchu and Mu Ying do.
He looked at the two girls expectantly.
Xue Chuchu hesitated for a moment. She had 70 yuan with her and had to eat at noon. She didn't know if she had enough money.
But Mu Ying agreed: "Let's go and have a look."
Several other classmates agreed, and Xue Chuchu no longer hesitated. She secretly decided to watch others play later, and she would not play, so that she could save money.
The group of people went up to the third floor and walked along the wide circular corridor.
Xue Yuantong fell last. She and Jiang Ning said: "Let's play for a while and go to the fourth floor for dinner. I heard from Chen Siyu that the buffet on the fourth floor is delicious. Dinner costs 59 yuan per person and lunch is 49."
She patted her pocket and said, "I'm treating you."
Soon we arrived at the video arcade. As soon as we could see, the store was bustling with people, including adults with children, teenagers hanging out with each other, and young couples.
There are many equipments in the store, including ordinary arcade machines, arcade machines with steering wheels, and simulated shooting machines, all of which are placed in the store to attract customers to stop. Jin Yuanhang pointed to the claw machines in front of him and said:
"Would you like to play?"
Xue Yuantong ran over and stood in front of the claw machine, looking at the various dolls inside.
It is no exaggeration to say that the rag dolls in the doll machine are more attractive to girls than the dolls in ordinary stores. It is not because of its appearance and quality, but mainly because of the luck involved in the way of getting them.
So it seems even more rare.
Jin Yuanhang took out a fifty-dollar note and stuffed it into the coin vending machine. Soon, a bunch of game coins came out of it.
"Everyone, take a few." Jin Yuanhang shouted. He took the lead to go to Xue Chuchu and grabbed a handful for her:
"Chu Chu, you can play whatever you want." He said loudly.
"And Mu Ying, take it." He also grabbed a handful.
Mu Ying accepted it. The game currency was not expensive, so Mu Ying did not feel that she was grateful.
Her sister-in-law was admitted to the hospital because of burns caused by the water heater. After a while, her sister-in-law calmed down a lot and begged her brother not to get divorced and not to be as arrogant as before.
Thanks to this, Muying's quality of life has been good recently, and she has plenty of money for daily expenses.
Xue Chuchu didn't want to accept other people's affection, so she wanted one or two game coins.
"I don't like catching dolls." She declined.
On the other side, Jiang Ning bought twenty yuan of game coins.
Xue Yuantong ran over: "I'm super accurate at catching dolls. I catch them all accurately every time."
She patted her chest, extremely confident.
Jiang Ning was surprised: "Real or false?"
The dolls in the claw machine are really difficult to catch. Many people buy dozens of coins and may get nothing.
"I really won't lie to you. If you don't believe me, I'll try it for you." Xue Yuantong took two coins.
She wandered in front of the claw machine for a few times and selected one.
Xue Yuantong stared at the cartoon white cat in the glass, his eyes shining. This rag doll is as handsome as Jiang Ning, he must get it!
Insert the coin, the machine starts, Xue Yuantong operates the rocker, adjusts the direction of the hook, presses the button, and the hook lowers.
The cartoon cat was caught in one fell swoop. The cat rose with the grappling hook and moved towards the exit. The grappling hook flicked in time and the cat dropped down.
Xue Yuantong's heart dropped.
Jiang Ning: "That's what you said for sure. It's too different."
Xue Yuantong had a clear conscience: "Can you just tell me if it's accurate?"
"It's pretty accurate." Jiang Ning said, he couldn't question this.
Xue Yuantong continued to insert coins and caught three times in a row. He caught the doll every time, but every time he flipped the hook, he lost the doll.
That’s not true!
Xue Yuantong and Long Yan were furious: 'How dare you treat me like this!'
'Do you think I'll give in?'
She pulled Jiang Ning's hand out of his pocket and slapped the game coins into his palm.
Nunu mouthed, signaling to arrest the cartoon white cat doll.
"Okay." Jiang Ning decided to take action.
Jin Yuanhang was separated by two machines. At this moment, he realized that this was a good opportunity, and he hurried over.
"Catching dolls is a skill," he said.
"Ordinary people can't catch it many times. At this time, you can't be reckless and you must use skills."
While he was speaking, Xue Chuchu came over. Jin Yuanhang was in a good mood, with the beauty by his side. His voice rose two points:
"Let me tell you about the technique of catching dolls. There is a very high-end one, which I generally call the 'swinging hook'!"
"It means making the hook swing, using the inertia of the hook, and after catching the doll, throw the doll directly to the exit!"
"No more talking, let me demonstrate it to you."
He put in the coin and the hook moved to be right above the doll.
Jin Yuanhang held the operating lever and shook it from left to right, from slow to fast, and the hook in the claw machine swung accordingly.
He stared at the hook closely and said, "Watch it."
At the right moment, he clicked the button and the hook quickly lowered.
Then, it went sideways.
Jin Yuanhang felt ashamed and refused to give him any face!
Facing several people, he explained: "This method requires proficiency, I'm just showing it to you."
Xue Yuantong said: "This move is so powerful."
"I just can't catch it."
Jin Yuanhang: "..."
Seeing that Xue Chuchu was still there, he regained his composure:
"It doesn't matter, I have another trick."
"This trick is more suitable for beginners. The moment the grappling hook grabs the doll, you press the button again to tighten the claws again, which can increase the probability of catching the doll."
In order to save face, Jin Yuanhang invested another coin.
A failure is nothing, the audience is still there, and as long as I perform better this time, I will definitely win their favor again.
"Watch it!"
Jin Yuanhang manipulated the hook and moved it above the doll. After a brief aiming, he pressed the button, dropped his claws, and grabbed the doll.
"It's now!"
He pressed the button again.
This time the luck was even worse, the doll didn't rise at all, only the empty hook rose.
There was a burst of sighs all around.
Jin Yuanhang couldn't keep his face, and he said shamelessly: "It doesn't matter, I have another trick."
"This trick is a bug of the claw machine. Don't press the button. Wait for the countdown to end and the hook to fall by itself. The success rate of catching will be higher."
He threw in another coin, carefully moved the grappling hook, and waited quietly for the countdown to end.
Jiang Ning admired Jin Yuanhang's actions. At this moment, he put a coin in and the lights of the claw machine came on.
"Jiang Ning, I want that white cartoon cat." Xue Yuantong said.
As for whether Jiang Ning would miss? Xue Yuantong never considered it.
Deep down in her heart, Jiang Ning is the most powerful person in the world, besides herself, and there is nothing he can't do in the world.
This is the answer she got during her time with Jiang Ning.
Jin Yuanhang saw with his eyes that Xue Chuchu looked at Jiang Ning, Mu Ying also looked at Jiang Ning, and even his younger brother Tao Zhi also looked at Jiang Ning.
'What do you mean, you gave up on me?'
Jin Yuanhang is in a panic now. What should he do if the audience runs away?
He looked at the countdown and then at the claws in the claw machine.
Jiang Ning pushed the joystick and locked on the cartoon cat that had caused Xue Yuantong to suffer repeated defeats before.
He clicked the button, and at the same time, a stream of spiritual energy slid in dexterously along the gap in the machine.
The grappling hook is closed, and under the influence of spiritual power, the cartoon cat clings tightly to the hook. It rises into the air with the hook, passes over a group of rag dolls, and falls into the exit of the claw machine.
"Yeah! You really didn't disappoint me!" Xue Yuantong pulled Jiang Ning and shook her.
Jiang Ning looked normal, as if he had done something trivial:
"Stop shaking, don't you want the doll?"
Xue Yuantong is holding the doll, smiling happily, and her mouth is curved like a crescent moon:
"I'll reward you with something delicious when I get home tonight."
Xue Chuchu looked at Tongtong's baby and pursed her lips slightly. She... wanted it a little bit.
Mu Ying stared at the cartoon cat. The quality of the doll was not high. She had better ones at home, but they were different. This one was from the claw machine.
Jin Yuanhang looked at Jiang Ning's harvest. At this moment, the countdown ended and the grappling hook fell.
Caught a loneliness.
Jin Yuanhang stopped teaching his experience, and all the audience went to Jiang Ning's side.
'My heart is so tired and I don't love this world anymore.'
