Chapter 28 Lost again
Situ Ming raised the corner of his lips and said, "Follow me."
They left as soon as they said they would, and Zhao Xiaoyue foolishly agreed, "Oh, okay."
The short legs quickly caught up with the boy in front of him, and he kept complaining in his mind: Damn, it’s a big deal to have long legs, why are you walking so fast?
And I secretly swore that I must grow taller than you.
There is a saying that goes, ideals are full, but reality is more skinny; when they met again a few years later, Zhao Xiaoyue almost got depressed and banged her head against the wall!
At this moment, Situ Ming, who was dressed simply and casually, was walking side by side with Zhao Xiaoyue, who was wearing a floral shirt and had bright eyes, and was chattering something non-stop.
Situ Ming only felt that there were many sparrows chirping in his ears. He thought that if he had a net bag, he would be able to catch a few to play with. He shook his head and laughed secretly.
Zhao Xiaoyue's clear voice blends into the hurrying pedestrians; cars occasionally pass by on the street; trams pass by the tracks at zero speed to give way to pedestrians; various hawking calls proclaim the enthusiasm of people for life after the reform and opening up, and a new era begins.
After a while, the two of them stopped in front of a game hall.
Situ Ming put one hand in his pocket. Zhao Xiaoyue was confused. No, what is this guy going to do?
The young boy pushed the door open and walked in. The sounds of ding-dong, clang, and diu-diu continued. The boss, a middle-aged fat uncle, took a glance and held out his thick palm, "Little boy, two for five dollars."
The environment is quite noisy, and there aren't many people around? I can only say that the current equipment is not very advanced.
At that time, there was no rule that people must be under 18 years old.
Situ Ming searched his pockets in a mature manner and looked at Zhao Xiaoyue pitifully. Zhao Xiaoyue opened her eyes and understood immediately, "I know, I know."
It was she who first suggested taking him out to play, so she should be the one to treat.
No problem!
Then he took out five yuan and put it on the counter and said to the boss, "It's my treat, hehe."
He raised his chin proudly towards Situ Ming, indicating that it was no big deal.
The five hundred yuan in Situ Ming's trouser pocket: Are we just decorations? Don't we have any dignity? No manners, let the girl pay.
The cunning Situ Ming took the ticket and walked to a game machine, saying innocently, "I often hear people say this is fun, but how do you play it?"
His fair and handsome hands fiddled with the game controller, his eyebrows knitted slightly, and his slender fingers tentatively pressed a few keys on it.
The scene before her aroused Zhao Xiaoyue's desire to protect. Look how pitiful the child is.
This is the simplest Contra game. A child of this age should be spoiled, which shows what a miserable life he usually leads.
Now Zhao Xiaoyue has completely forgotten about the "golden thigh" because her brain and heart have stopped working.
The two of them sat on a mat, holding a game controller in their hands. Zhao Xiaoyue taught the young boy next to her how to use it. She explained carefully and the boy listened attentively.
A guy next to him sneered in a vulgar way. He had pockmarks on his face and was wearing baggy clothes. The game console was playing the classic "Fire Dragon". He uttered a few words through his thick lips, "What a fucking loser. Where did this rubbish come from? He doesn't know how to play and yet he comes out to embarrass himself."
The young men who were playing games nearby burst into laughter, and Zhao Xiaoyue instantly felt insulted.
He stood up, put his hands on his hips and glared at everyone, "Hey, you talk so much, is it because you have an extra tongue than others?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, just look at the pits on your face and I know you're a psychopath. It's all over your face."
"Excuse me, are you from Dunhuang? You are talking so much."
The pockmarked young man said, "You, you, you."
Zhao Xiaoyue crossed his arms and glanced up and down at the pockmarked face, "Hey, at first glance, buddy really looks like Aristotle's sister, you are really troublesome!"
"Humph!"
Then he sat down casually and started playing games with Situ Ming.
The curve of Situ Ming's mouth was very beautiful. Zhao Xiaoyue quickly said in her heart: Amitabha, what a sin!
After all, it was a public place, and the group of people were so embarrassed by Little Pepper's scolding that they just played a few games and left.
There were only a few people left in the game room.
The young boy's deep eyes seemed to be suppressing something, and he kept losing the game no matter how he played it.
Then, without saying anything, he just looked at the little girl next to him with moist eyes, which made people feel pity for him.
Zhao Xiaoyue took a deep breath, "If you have something to say, just say it, brother!"
This is unbearable!
"I think I lost because there was no reward. How about a competition?"
Still looking cautious.
Zhao Xiaoyue nodded fiercely, "Brother, you are right, what reward do you want?"
Situ Ming was amused by Zhao Xiaoyue's cute appearance, but he said reservedly, "If I lose, I'll give you one dollar. I don't have change today, so I'll give it to you later. Otherwise, you give it to me."
Zhao Xiaoyue's eyes lit up. Wasn't this rookie obviously giving her money? Oh my, she was still embarrassed.
He nodded and agreed readily, "Okay, sure."
The strands of hair on his head also curled up, showing that his owner was quite happy at the moment.
As they played, Situ Ming lost every time. Zhao Xiaoyue became more and more courageous, and even won so much that her eyes turned red. She shouted, "Situ Ming, you should change your name to Situ Ben. I have never seen such a gentle way of playing. Keep going. I will teach you. I don't believe it."
Thinking of something, I braked too hard and swallowed the word "rookie" back. I choked on my own saliva, but I was actually very happy at that moment.
Situ Ming was only focused on playing the game and lost the tenth game again.
She looked very depressed, and Zhao Xiaoyue quickly comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay. Practice makes perfect. It's only ten dollars, right? I don't want it."
Situ Ming glanced at the flash of light in Zhao Xiaoyue's eyes and said, "Haha, why don't you mention ten dollars?"
Puppytail grass!
Zhao Xiaoyue patted Situ Ming's shoulder with great interest and said ambitiously: "Let's play all the games here. You will win one day."
"Okay, then you mustn't cry!"
"You look down on me, your sister, don't you? Am I that kind of person? Come on, let's get started!"
The fat boss watched the two kids playing and didn't do anything. He decided to close the shop at six o'clock.
In half an hour, Situ Ming earned three dollars from the plane, the fire dragon and the tank.
She lost...
Zhao Xiaoyue complimented politely, "Wow, you see, you got it, keep it up!"
Another half hour passed, and Situ Ming earned another ten yuan from the unpopular game. Zhao Xiaoyue's face gradually turned into the color of Sichuan and Chongqing bamboo - green.
"Come on, continue."
After another half an hour, it turned emerald green, and there was a crackling sound.
She lost again
Situ Ming licked his lips. Oh no, was it too much? It wouldn’t be good if he really cried, right?
But, my heart was clamoring for her to cry.
If Zhao Xiaoyue twisted her face a few times, several drops of ink would probably drip out, and she looked sinister. "Do you still want to play? I'll accompany you. I still have time, um~"
The tone of that "hmm" even rose a bit.
Situ Ming raised his eyebrows slightly and fluttered his long eyelashes innocently. When he heard the little girl's words, he somehow felt like he was forced to retreat by a vicious dog.
After swallowing, he asked weakly, "Can I not ask for money and make other requests?"
Is this about money? This is a blatant deception, okay?
You want to hide your incompetence, eh? I'm giving you face!
