Chapter 121 Eunuch Hai (ask for a monthly pass!)

Lu Yuan and Jia Yumeng rode together to Fengle Entertainment City in the east of the city.

Although it is called Entertainment City, it is actually a large game hall with restaurants nearby and a small movie theater upstairs.Because the consumption price here is relatively cheap, and there are not many miscellaneous people, many students in Licheng are willing to play here.

In the past, when Lu Yuan had nothing to do during vacations, he would come here to raid and catch all the dolls from the many claw machines here, and then he got the title of "Feng Le No. [-] Catch".

Now, Lu Yuan hadn't been here for a long time, but today he came here with Jia Yumeng, and he felt very cordial, and his originally depressed mood relaxed a lot.

The two had dinner nearby, and they were going to grab a doll and play video games together, and then went upstairs to watch a movie.

Seeing that Jia Yumeng was about to go in, Lu Yuan quickly grabbed her and said, "Slow! I also brought a piece of equipment, and I want to put this equipment on."

As he spoke, Lu Yuan took out a peaked cap and a pair of masks from his schoolbag, put on the hat and put on the mask, and then followed Jia Yumeng in.

"What are you doing, you're dressing up like a debtor?" Jia Yumeng asked seeing Lu Yuan's nervousness.

"Oh, if I'm recognized by their boss, I won't be able to catch the doll today, and I'll have to eat KFC."

Lu Yuan knew that the boss here has not changed, for fear that he would recognize him.

Entering the entertainment city, because it was Saturday, the inside was in full swing, there were all kinds of claw machines and racing game machines, dancing machines, fishing machines, shooting machines, and there were people in front of each machine.

Jia Yumeng was about to go to the front desk to exchange coins, but Lu Yuan said: "Don't go to the front desk to change, go directly to the self-service machine to change." He said, pulling Jia Yumeng to line up in front of the self-service machine to exchange coins.

"Isn't the front desk fast? Why are you queuing at the self-service machine?"

"The self-service machine is cheap, and I saw the boss, I'm afraid the boss will recognize me."

Lu Yuan has already seen the owner of the entertainment city, Eunuch Hai, behind the reception desk.

Fengle Entertainment City was a small amusement park a long time ago. The first floor is a game hall, the second floor is a dance hall, and there is a yard outside. There are Ferris wheel, small roller coaster, carousel and other amusement facilities inside.

Later, as people's entertainment methods increased, the game hall was shut down, and the Ferris wheel had an accident, and the playground closed down.

Afterwards, no one cared about this land until Hai Baoming, the owner of a catering business, bought the place and began to transform it into a small entertainment city integrating catering, games, and movies. The business here gradually improved.

Haibaoming has been operating here for many years. As a small boss, he doesn't have too much ambition, and he is very satisfied with doing a good job of the one-acre three-point land in the entertainment city.

Because Hai Baoming speaks a bit sissy and takes care of all kinds of messy things, so people who are familiar with this place call him Mr. Hai or Mr. Hai.

A few years ago, he met Lu Yuan, a little bastard. Every time he came, he almost emptied the claw machine. He couldn't catch up, so he had no choice but to treat him to KFC again and again.But for more than a year, I have not seen this bastard.

This evening, Eunuch Hai was sitting at the front desk playing games when he had nothing to do. Suddenly, he looked up and saw a boy wearing a hat and mask, sneakily pulling a girl in a pink sportswear to the self-service machine to buy. Game currency.

Eunuch Hai became vigilant all of a sudden, because he felt a little familiar looking at this figure. Although he was much taller than he remembered, you could still recognize some people even if they were turned into ashes.

........................

Soon it was Lu Yuan and Jia Yumeng's turn to line up. Jia Yumeng took out her mobile phone, ready to scan the QR code to buy game coins, and asked, "Lu Yuan, how many do you want?"

Lu Yuan said, "How many dolls do you want? Just multiply by two."

Just as he finished speaking, Lu Yuan was patted on the shoulder.

Lu Yuan was startled, and when he turned around, he saw a middle-aged man with short hair and glasses looking at him with a cold face.

"Eunuch Hai!"

Seeing this face, Lu Yuan blurted out that this person was Hai Baoming, after all he was the one who had bought many KFCs for himself.

"Xiao Yuanzi, haven't you been here for a long time?"

Hai Baoming said strangely, then turned his hands away and looked at Lu Yuan with a cold face.

Seeing that he was recognized, Lu Yuan took off his mask and hat, and said, "Yeah, I haven't been here for a long time, I'm here today."

"Xiaohuang? How many dolls do you want to take with you today?"

"I don't know, let's see how many you have here."

"You are not mean! You little red man! Little red man!" Hai Baoming said while slapping Lu Yuan on the head wildly, but every hit was not heavy.

Lu Yuan quickly pulled Eunuch Hai's hand away, and said, "Oh, I'm here with my friends. I'll just grab a few, and I'll go to the movies later, so I don't have the time to keep grabbing dolls."

Hai Baoming looked at Jia Yumeng at the side, finally showed a smile on his face, and said to Lu Yuan: "Not bad, Xiao Yuanzi, your girlfriend is pretty, promising, not bad."

Jia Yumeng couldn't help but blush, but she didn't explain anything.

But Lu Yuan was too lazy to talk to Eunuch Hai, and said to Jia Yumeng: "Just buy 25, grab seven or eight dolls, go to the famous autumn mountains, and then we will go to the movies."

Jia Yumeng nodded, and bought 25 game coins. Eunuch Hai's face darkened again, and he said, "I said, Xiao Yuanzi, you want to grab my doll for five yuan, and then play with it for more than [-] yuan." Minute game console!"

"Otherwise? You treat me to KFC?"

"Forget it, you can play, I don't have money to treat you to KFC."

Speaking of Eunuch Hai returned to the front desk and continued to play games, Jia Yumeng asked, "Who is this guy? It feels weird."

Hai Baoming is a bit of a sissy, with a gentle appearance, but he has a small crew cut, and he also exercises, training his arms and chest muscles to be particularly developed and strong.Because he was afraid that some gangsters would come and not be able to control the situation, so this guy's temperament was very strange.

Lu Yuan said: "He is the boss here. I used to catch a lot of dolls, so I knew him. He wouldn't let me catch them, so he invited me to eat KFC in the office."

As Lu Yuan said, he took the game currency box and walked to an empty claw machine.

Lu Yuan checked and chose, and stuffed two game coins into it.Then he slowly controlled the handle, and after the paw stabilized, he pressed the button.

The claws scratched down and caught a pink doll, which is Patrick in the cartoon "SpongeBob SquarePants".The claws just happened to live on the limbs of this starfish, and the doll was grabbed out smoothly.

There were a few people around who had been catching for a long time and one of them failed to catch, they couldn't help but "wow" in amazement when they saw that Lu Yuan succeeded in one shot.Lu Yuan took out the doll and handed it to Jia Yumeng.

But Jia Yumeng looked a little unhappy, and said, "Why did you grab a pink fat man for me?"

Lu Yuan explained: "Because... because the pink you are wearing today is very cute, and this Pai Daxing is also very cute..."

After hearing Lu Yuan's explanation, Jia Yumeng's face became brighter. She hugged Pai Daxing to her chest, and dragged Lu Yuan to try another claw machine.

After a round of trials, as long as Jia Yumeng likes it, Lu Yuan observes for a while, watches others try it a few times, and then goes into battle when he thinks the time is right.As a result, only 20 game coins were used to catch seven dolls and only failed three times!
Eunuch Hai, who was sitting at the front desk, saw people watching around a certain claw machine, and knew that this kid Lu Yuan was starting to catch all sorts of surprises.

He hurried out, pushed aside the crowd, walked up to Lu Yuan and said, "Hey, hey, that's enough, go and drive! No more arrests, I'll call the police if you arrest me again!"

Seeing that Jia Yumeng was about to lose his grip, Lu Yuan left the claw machine area, arousing amazement from the bystanders, but did not take away a trace of cloud.

"Look at other boyfriends, why can't you catch any of them!"

A young couple, the girl couldn't help complaining when she saw Jia Yumeng holding a bunch of dolls in her hands.

Jia Yumeng was delighted when she heard this.

........................

Lu Yuan spent another three coins on the Qiu Mingshan racing game machine to break the record. After playing for more than ten minutes, it was almost time to go to the movies.

Jia Yumeng said, "I'm going to buy some popcorn, you carry the doll."

Eunuch Hai gave the two of them a bag to carry the doll, Lu Yuan took the bag and found that he still had the last two game coins in his pocket, so he said, "Go and buy them, I still have two coins, use them as you like. "

Jia Yumeng nodded and went upstairs. Lu Yuan looked at the bag, and found that the 7 dolls were already full. He thought that grabbing another big doll might not hold it, so he grabbed a small toy.

So he went to the small pendant toy grabber, picked it for a long time, and found a gray hamster keychain that looked good and was easy to grab.

So the coin was inserted, the control handle, the button, and the small pendant was successfully grabbed.

As soon as he finished catching him, he looked up and saw Eunuch Hai standing next to him with a gloomy face again, which startled Lu Yuan and said, "Eunuch Hai, what are you doing, you want to scare me to death!"

"Why are you still grabbing dolls here, go up and watch a movie for me!"

"The last one, the last one!"

Lu Yuan said and stuffed this little pendant into his pocket, then went up to watch a movie with Jia Yumeng.

........................

After watching the movie, it was about 09:30. Lu Yuan accompanied Jia Yumeng to the house by bicycle first, and then drove home by himself.

After playing all night, he felt a lot more relaxed. Thinking that there will be a game tomorrow afternoon, he thought about going back to rest early and maintaining a good and full of energy.

After arriving home, Lu Yuan found that the lights in the hall were still on, and Xu Qian was sitting on the sofa in the hall.There is an unfinished cup of tea on the coffee table, it seems that there are guests coming tonight.

"Mom, I'm back."

Lu Yuan took off his shoes and put on slippers, only to find that his mother didn't agree with him, and the atmosphere at home was a bit strange.

"Mom? I... Am I coming back too late? I went to bed early."

Lu Yuan thought his mother blamed him for coming back too late, but Xu Qian still sat on the sofa without saying a word.

Lu Yuan felt something was wrong, walked up to Xu Qian, and Xu Qian said, "Extend your hand."

It was only then that Lu Yuan noticed that there was a feather duster beside Xu Qian, which was used by Xu Qian to teach Lu Yuan when he made mistakes when he was a child.

Ever since Lu Yuan entered junior high school, Lu Yuan has never been beaten by this feather duster again.

Lu Yuan stretched out his left hand, thinking that he would use his right hand to play.As soon as she finished thinking, Xu Qian's feather duster was pulled off, and there was a sharp pain in the palm of her hand, Lu Yuan gritted his teeth from the pain, and didn't make a sound.

Lu Yuan's left hand was pulled out with a blood mark, Xu Qian's heart ached when she saw it, tears fell down, and the second hit couldn't be done no matter what.

Xu Qian wiped away her tears and said, "Do you know why you were hit?"

Lu Yuan nodded, because he had already seen the "Self-Cultivation of a Basketball Player" on the coffee table.

Xu Qian went on to say: "If Teacher Mao hadn't come to visit my home, I really wouldn't have known that you had lied to me for so long! You...you are really capable! I won't say too much. Tomorrow, you apply to quit the basketball team. If you don’t want to talk about it, I’ll go and tell your coach. From today on, study hard and stop participating in these messy activities!”

After Xu Qian finished speaking, she rubbed her son's hands distressedly, feeling bitter, sad and hated in her heart.

In the evening, teacher Mao, the head teacher, came to visit. In fact, the two made an appointment on Monday, because Lu Yuan's head teacher, Mao Jiaping, was Xu Qian's head teacher in high school.More than ten years later, he became the head teacher of Xu Qian's son.

During the home visit, Teacher Mao spoke highly of Lu Yuan. He studied well, performed well in class, and was sincere and straightforward. Xu Qian was very happy to hear that.Unexpectedly, Teacher Mao said something extra, "This kid plays basketball really well. He will represent the school's basketball team this year. He will definitely get good grades. You mother should go and see his game."

Teacher Mao's well-intentioned words shattered Xu Qian's heart. She never expected that her son would also start playing basketball?
However, Teacher Mao sent her away because she was having a bad fit. She went into Lu Yuan's room and rummaged through the cabinets. Finally, she found the book "Self-cultivation of a Basketball Player" in the back of the bedside table.

Seeing the words "written by Gan Guoyang", the memories of ten years ago came to mind, and Xu Qian wanted to tear up the book immediately.

So she sat in the living room and waited, thinking while waiting.The pain that had been deeply buried in her heart surged out like a flood breaking through a dam.

All the hardships and sins she has suffered in the past ten years have all turned into tears, and she can't shed them all.

Finally when her son came back, the resentment in her heart turned into that savage beating, but she regretted it after the beating, the fault was not with the child after all, not with Lu Yuan.

Whose fault is that?It can only be basketball's fault.Xu Qian thought in her heart, all this is caused by the crap of basketball!
She looked at Lu Yuan with burning eyes, while Lu Yuan stared blankly at his mother, he listened to his mother most since childhood, but this time he didn't want to listen.

But looking at his mother's eyes, Lu Yuan really didn't know how to reply.

He really wanted to ask why, but he just couldn't ask, because he seemed very afraid of knowing the answer.It's like he never asked where Dad went.

Finally, Lu Yuan nodded with difficulty and said, "Okay, I see, I'm going to sleep."

Xu Qian stood up and touched her son's head, hugged him, tears fell from her eyes.

And Lu Yuan went back to the room and closed the door, tears streaming down his face.
