Bai Yuxia was obviously pretending to be angry, but her tilted face was actually a smile, with shallow dimples blooming.
She used to be calm and rational, but when she showed such a delicate expression, the contrast was like a girl blowing air in her ear, gently teasing her.
Jiang Ning didn't use words to coax her. He looked at the streets on both sides of the food court.
This food street is quite spacious. The stalls on the road are arranged like the seats of Class 8. The buildings on both sides have some spicy hotpot, desserts, flower shops and other shops.
Jiang Ning happened to see a trendy doll-catching shop. Several young couples stopped in front of the store, so he suggested: "Let's go and catch dolls."
After Bai Yuxia heard this, she turned around, her expression was the same as usual, and she could not see the squeamishness just now at all.
She also noticed the doll shop, "I heard they said you are very good at catching dolls."
Bai Yuxia rarely catches it herself because she thinks it is a scam, like scratch tickets on the roadside. She never buys them because she will not fall into these probability traps.
Jiang Ning: "Huh? You also think I'm great?"
Bai Yuxia: "I just listened to what they said."
"Who are they?" Jiang Ning asked.
Bai Yuxia: "Chen Siyu and her sister."
"Oh~" Jiang Ning nodded and thought about it carefully. It was probably during the last summer vacation that Xue Yuantong boasted in front of them. Chen Siyu believed it and repeatedly instilled it in Bai Yuxia.
Bai Yuxia's eyes moved over: "So, you must be very powerful, right?"
Jiang Ning did not answer directly, he said: "I'll catch a few more for you, bring them to Chen Siyu, and prove it to her."
With that said, he walked towards the doll shop.
Bai Yuxia heard what he said and analyzed the clues contained in it. Jiang Ning had never taken Chen Siyu to catch the doll, otherwise he would not have said this.
As soon as she thought about this, her steps became much more brisk.
Soon, Bai Yuxia noticed the changes in her emotions again. She felt funny. What she and Jiang Ning experienced tonight was probably something Chen Siyu had never heard of!
Only she discovered Jiang Ning's other side outside society.
Bai Yuxia couldn't help but laugh when she thought of the silly images of the twins.
She will keep tonight's experience as a secret and will not tell Chen Siyu.
The doll shop facing the street is much more professional than the doll machines in the shopping mall. The dolls in the doll machine are obviously a higher level in appearance. In addition to big dolls, there are also many exquisite mini dolls.
This store is in fully automatic mode. Although Bai Yuxia usually doesn't play these games, seeing that Jiang Ning was very interested, she took out a 20 yuan note and exchanged 20 game coins from the machine.
Bai Yuxia first observed the customers in the store and found that everyone had empty hands and got nothing.
She had a hunch that this doll store might be difficult to capture.
She looked at the claw machine again, looking for dolls that could be caught. Passing by a certain claw machine, Bai Yuxia pointed to the pink elephant in the glass: "This one is in a good position, it should be easy to catch."
Jiang Ning glanced at the baby elephant and asked, "Do you like its appearance?"
Bai Yuxia told the truth: "I don't really like it, but it might be easier to catch."
This is the mentality of a normal person. Many people do not simply consider the appearance of a doll when catching a doll, but more consider the location of the doll and whether it is easy to catch.
Jiang Ning: "Let's change it to a better-looking one."
Bai Yuxia: "Yeah."
In fact, she doesn't like this little elephant very much, because the appearance of this little elephant looks very much like Song Sheng in the class, especially the pair of squinting eyes...
She planned to continue browsing other colorful dolls, but as soon as Bai Yuxia made way for her, a group of young lovers immediately came over.
"Hey, this one is by the exit. If you move it a little, it will probably come out." The boy analyzed.
After saying that, he threw two coins and started to operate the machine.
Bai Yuxia paid attention and saw that the machine's claws were shaking a little violently. As soon as it grabbed the doll, it dropped.
The boy sighed and tried again unwillingly.
Bai Yuxia continued to move forward. She stayed at a doll machine for a few seconds longer. Unfortunately, the dolls inside were not placed very well, and this machine was relatively expensive. You only need 5 game coins to catch it once.
Jiang Ning noticed her eyes. He looked at the hello Kitty cat in the glass and said, "Well, not bad, the texture is better than other dolls."
The classic image of Hello Kitty does have a reason for its popularity. The kitten with big bright eyes reveals a kind of tenderness and innocence.
Bai Yuxia: "It's quite beautiful."
Jiang Ning asked again: "Do you want it?"
His expression was natural, as if he had everything under control and had no doubt whether he could catch it.
This kind of power from the inside out touched Bai Yuxia, and she had no doubt about it.
Bai Yuxia didn't say anything. She stretched out her hand and handed the game coins to Jiang Ning.
"That's too much." Jiang Ning said.
Bai Yuxia: "It's okay, you use it first."
"Okay." Jiang Ning took out 5 coins and stuffed them into the game console one by one.
When the claw machine started, Jiang Ning gently moved the rocker. The machine's grappling hook was very stable and could not be rocked at all. Many hook-throwing experts must have had a headache after seeing it.
Jiang Ning flicked her fingers, but Bai Yuxia couldn't keep staring at his face, so she moved her gaze to his fingers.
Bai Yuxia found that his fingers were particularly beautiful, slender and smooth, both powerful and gentle.
Finally, Jiang Ning tapped the button, and the movement of the grappling hook caught Bai Yuxia's attention.
Only then did she realize that the grappling hook had been moved to the corner by Jiang Ning, which was extremely far away from the exit. At this distance, the probability of successfully catching the doll was extremely slim.
The young couple next to them who failed to catch the elephant doll also cast their gaze.
In the eyes of several people, the grappling hook successfully grabbed the doll, and the first step was completed. However, during the movement of the fragile grappling hook, accidents may occur at every step.
Bai Yuxia's eyes were calm and she stared at the grappling hook closely.
Then, the grappling hook carried the doll, successfully crossed the natural chasm, reached the end point, and landed at the exit of the claw machine.
"Fuck!" The boy in the young couple was so amazed that he blurted out.
The girl was surprised: "It's so far away."
Jiang Ning bent down to pick up the hello Kitty cat and gave it to Bai Yuxia: "No."
Bai Yuxia lowered her head, and there was no glass to block it. The doll was pink and white. She touched it with her hands and found that the surface material was unexpectedly good and it felt very good. It was indeed a claw machine that cost 5 yuan a time. The boss did not cut corners.
Bai Yuxia's mood became happy because of this doll.
Jiang Ning went to catch a few more dolls. Bai Yuxia's smile became more and more beautiful, with dimples on her cheeks and side braids shaking.
Her eyes were as calm as water, surging like spring water.
In the end, Bai Yuxia could no longer hold her in her arms. She already had a very outstanding appearance, and she was holding an arm full of dolls. These cute-looking dolls made her extraordinarily delicate, and they really attracted a lot of attention.
Now, not only did people know that she was beautiful, but they also knew about the strength of the boy next to her.
Jiang Ning picked up a big plastic bag from the doll machine shop and packed all the dolls together. Bai Yuxia finally didn't have to hold them.
Most of her quiet temperament disappeared, and there was a faint excitement in her steps.
Then, Jiang Ning took her shopping again. After passing a trap stall, Bai Yuxia slowed down.
This trap is a stall opened by a young man. There are many gifts, plastic dolls, car models, dolls, and even many drinks on the ground, such as Coke, Red Bull, etc.
Couples, parents and children gathered around the booth.
Jiang Ning saw this and asked, "Would you like to play?"
Bai Yuxia smiled: "Play!"
She spent 10 yuan and bought six circles. Bai Yuxia planned to lose three circles, but missed the first two.
The middle-aged man next to him had lost seven or eight hoops and missed one. He shouted: "Young man, your prizes are too scattered!"
The stall owner responded: "Don't leave, everyone else's houses are arranged like this, and my prize is good. Look at that racing car, a genuine Audi double diamond! A child's dream, selling it outside will cost at least 50 yuan! Now you have a chance to get one
Take the money home!”
As soon as he said this, the kid next to him shouted: "Dad, I want that racing car!"
Bai Yuxia squeezed the last plastic ring in her hand. She aimed at the car and threw it out quickly. She had given up hope.
Jiang Ning stared at the flying circle, um, it was off.
Jiang Ning activated her spiritual power and moved her invisible palms in the air to adjust its position. Then in the eyes of everyone, the plastic circle circled the model box perfectly.
The face of the young stall owner changed, showing pain that was visible to the naked eye.
Looking at the plastic circle, a momentary dullness flashed across Bai Yuxia's face, as if she was caught off guard, and her eyes, as calm as water, stared slightly.
This surprise didn't last long, she showed off her brilliant expression, the corners of her mouth raised, forming a perfect arc, and her dimples bloomed playfully.
She grabbed Jiang Ning's wrist and shook it while shouting: "Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning, look, look!"
Jiang Ning saw the stars in her eyes.
His body was shaken slightly, and when he saw Bai Yuxia's current side that was completely different from usual, not to mention, Jiang Ning felt a sense of accomplishment, and actually felt a little excited.
It took a while for Bai Yuxia to realize that her behavior was inappropriate. Her face turned red, and she quickly let go of Jiang Ning's hand, lowered her cheeks and stopped talking.
When the young stall owner saw the two men's actions, he felt that he had been hit hard.
But life has to go on, and business has to go on. He picked up the packaging box, walked over and introduced loudly: "The things in this box are not simple. The genuine Bandai Gunpla is dozens of dollars more!"
Well, Jiang Ning scanned it and found that it was genuine, but this model is the Q version. Even if it is assembled, it is probably only about the size of a palm. The style should be Flying Wing Zero, which is okay and a bit cool.
Jiang Ning put away the box and saw the envious eyes of the children next to her.
He casually handed the three plastic rings to the children and said: "Go, it's your turn to save the world."
Then he picked up the Gundam and walked away with the beautiful Bai Yuxia.
The child stared at the back of his elder brother. He clenched the plastic ring with his fingers and rejoined the ring battlefield. He must get the Gundam!
…
They walked along the pedestrian street, and Bai Yuxia was secretly annoyed. She couldn't control her emotions just now, because she was so excited when she got a model, and it turned out...
"Why are you so careless?" Bai Yuxia blamed herself. She was embarrassed to look at Jiang Ning now.
‘It’s over, it’s over!’ Bai Yuxia wanted to start over again.
Jiang Ning gave her space to ease her emotions. He took out his cell phone and Tongtong sent him a message:
"Why haven't you come back yet?"
"Where are you going?"
"Okay, okay, if you don't reply to the message, I'll eat all your melon seeds!"
Scattered messages appear in the chat list.
Jiang Ning took a photo of the night market and sent it: "I'm shopping, ready to buy snacks."
Xue Yuantong replied instantly: "I want to eat snacks, buy them for me!"
Jiang Ning thought of her crying for food, so she teased her: "Has your account been stolen?"
Xue Yuantong: "It's me, it's me!"
Jiang Ning: "I don't believe it, please prove it. What is your name?"
Xue Yuantong: "I am Tongtong."
Jiang Ning continued to ask: "What is the name of Uncle Zhang's dog next door?"
Xue Yuantong: "My name is Xiaoben."
These things couldn't trouble her at all, but Jiang Ning still wanted to make things difficult for her. She could even tell how many potted plants Jiang Ning had on her windowsill!
Jiang Ning asked: "How many thorns are there on the surface of the cactus on my windowsill?"
Xue Yuantong was silent.
Jiang Ning: "You are indeed not me."
Xue Yuantong was so angry that she quickly contacted Chu Chu.
River dam.
Xue Chuchu, who was writing test papers in the room, suddenly received a message: "Chu Chu, go to Jiang Ning's house quickly and help me count the number of thorns on the cactus on his windowsill."
Xue Chuchu: "?"
She thought about it and realized that she hadn't offended Tongtong recently?
…
After Jiang Ning teased Tongtong, he slowed down and said, "This store should be a place that sells latte almonds, right?"
Only then did Bai Yuxia raise her face. There was still a blush on her charming cheeks, which was indescribably alluring.
"Well, this is it." The two of them walked into the store.
The enthusiastic female clerk immediately greeted her and introduced: "Our store's specialties include frosted hawthorns, frosted cherry tomatoes, and latte almonds."
As she spoke, she took out the sample and gave it to the two of them to taste.
Jiang Ning tried the almond latte and it tasted really good, sweet on the outside and crispy on the inside.
"There are also yogurt and almonds. The price of both is the same. They are both 41 pounds. Weigh as much as you want."
Jiang Ning knocked on Bai Yuxia, who was standing next to her with a serious face. She seemed to want to use this solemn expression to eliminate the negative impact caused by her impulse.
Jiang Ning thought for a while and asked the clerk: "Forty-one pounds, right?"
"Yep."
Jiang Ning said again: "It's cheaper, can it be twenty and a half catties?"
"I'm sorry, sir, we don't talk about this..." The female clerk suddenly realized something in the middle of her sentence, and she quickly said, "Okay, twenty and a half pounds is okay."
Bai Yuxia didn't hold back and wanted to laugh again.
She thought of the idiot Chen Siyu and knew that Jiang Ning might have deliberately imitated her.
Jiang Ning: "Well, let's take half a catty. Don't pretend to be too much."
In addition to the almond latte, Jiang Ning also bought a bag of frosted cherry tomatoes and some beef jerky to eat back to class.
After coming out of the store, Jiang Ning stood at the door, looking at the night in the distance.
Bai Yuxia thought he was going back to school. At this moment, she felt inexplicably empty in her heart.
She said nonchalantly: "Let's go shopping some more, I still have things to buy."
