two-way provocation

When he left Zhoushan Villa with Jin Chen, Qi Mingyu was wearing one of his loose sweaters.

Clean off-white, soft and neatly ironed, and you can smell the fresh citrus scent on the neckline all the way.

Even the tough guy Qi, who always prefers dark colors, feels that he has transformed into a clean and delicate little boy like the owner of the clothes.

The Japanese restaurant that Qi Mingyu chose for dinner was on the top floor of a department store.

It's not a serious meal at the moment, and there is no need to line up, because it happens to be the [-]th table of guests who entered the store today, and a doll of a lop-eared rabbit was presented with the meal.

"You take it, I don't like this thing." When paying the bill, Qi Mingyu smiled and avoided the plush toy handed by the clerk, and pushed it into the arms of the boy who was traveling with him.

"I like it?"

Facing the pink and cute bunny, Jin Chen's tone also honestly reveals his disgust.But even so, he was too embarrassed to throw it away in front of the shopkeeper, so he could only hold it in his hand first.

The neon lights first appeared, and the shopping mall reached the peak of passenger flow. In order to avoid the crowded elevators, the two chose to walk downstairs, and happened to pass by a small entertainment venue.

When eating just now, Jin Chen sat in the seat near the inner window, and was attracted by the flickering blue and red lights opposite the whole time.

"Go in for a stroll?" Seeing his curiosity, Qi Mingyu glanced at the colorful lights and shadows nearby, and opened his mouth to explain: "It's a video game mall inside."

During the conversation, the two had already stepped into a slightly noisy game hall, and most of the players inside were young people or half-grown children.

In order to heighten the atmosphere, fast-paced music is usually played in this kind of place, and there are lights of various colors on the ceiling, which make people's faces bright and dark.

This shopping mall has been in the city center for many years. Although it has been renovated many times, the facilities inside have hardly changed. However, it seems that this is the first time for Jin Chen to visit.

"You don't seem to be very familiar with Fengshi." Because of the strong music, Qi Mingyu deliberately asked by his ear.

Probably because he was used to the clothes on this person, he felt that the smell at the tip of his nose was inexplicably familiar and at ease.

"En." Jin Chen nodded.

Since he was very young, except staying with his grandfather, he followed his father to roam around the world, rarely staying in a fixed place.

The character that likes to be exposed to new environments is probably cultivated in this way.

"Ouch! Sorry!"

Suddenly, two not-so-old children ran out from the corner. They were just chasing and playing without looking at the road. One of the little girls bumped into Jin Chen's body firmly.

Fortunately, because of the cushion of the fabric doll, the child didn't hit his forehead.

"Be careful." Jin Chen took two steps back and instructed softly.

"Okay!" The little girl, who was about to leave after politely apologizing, suddenly stopped in her tracks, her two big eyes flickered at the person for a while, and she tried to speak.

"Brother is so amazing, he actually caught a lop-eared rabbit."

"Ah?" Jin Chen didn't quite understand what she meant.

Qi Mingyu, who was standing by the side, glanced around inadvertently, only to find that in a claw machine with bright lights, there were many dolls of the same style as presents from daily grocery stores.

No wonder the kid mistakenly thought that Jin Chen's rabbit was caught by him.

Following Qi Mingyu's line of sight, Jin Chen also quickly reacted.Smiling softly, he squatted down and brought the doll to the child.

"If you like this, I'll give it to you."

There was a flash of joy in the little girl's eyes, then she lowered her head and took out a large handful of silver game coins from her pocket, and said in a timid voice: "But I want the white one more, can you grab one for me too? Sorry brother..."

The cute and begging eyes of children have always been a killer weapon, and the soft and cute request is really hard to refuse.

Even Young Master Jin, a typical representative of outside beauty and inside field, couldn't stand it.

Unexpectedly, things would develop like this, Jin Chen was a little dazed, and raised his eyes slightly to look at the young man leaning on the other side, as if asking for help.

Qi Mingyu sneered lowly, and folded his arms to watch the commotion without concern for himself.

Don't look at me, who made your childish innocence overflow.

Are you in trouble now?

"..." Jin Chen stared at the mechanical claws in the claw machine for two seconds, and responded bravely, "I'll give it a try."

The little girl nodded happily, quickly stuffed the game coins into the coin slot, and then waited excitedly beside the glass cover.

"Ready~"

The cheerful game sound and colored lights that came with the machine were turned on together. Jin Chen carefully twisted the joystick for a while before pressing the confirmation button.

Qi Mingyu only glanced at the wrong position of his hook from a distance, and knew that the hook was bound to fail.

Sure enough, the silver mechanical claws only rubbed against the edge of the toy, and grabbed a lonely one.

The first show was really not up to standard, Jin Chen rubbed his head shyly and smiled, his pretty cheeks were slightly blush.

The cheerful kid didn't feel disappointed, and put the game coins into the machine entrance again. "I still have a lot here, brother, come on!"

Depending on the situation, it was difficult to get away, Jin Chen could only bite his lower lip helplessly, and moved the control lever again.This time he moved more carefully, pressing the button when the red countdown had almost run out.

Unfortunately, it still failed.

The little girl has a lot of obsession with dolls, and she puts in coins one after another to start the machine.Qi Mingyu felt a little tired from standing, so he moved his heels and changed to another position, continuing to watch the young master's performance.

The notification that the mechanical claw failed to be lowered sounded over and over again, and the people who were only forced to try seemed to be aroused by the desire to win and became extremely focused.

Just like that, one was looking forward to it, the other was groping, and the other was watching.

Until there was only one game coin left in the little girl's hand, all the rabbit dolls were still lying in place comfortably and sarcastically.

The child finally gave up after seeing the words "two coins once" on the fuselage, and there was no way to try again.

Jin Chen couldn't bear to see the girl disappointed, and was about to secretly spend money to buy one from the boss as a present for her, but before he could take any action, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching him.

Qi Mingyu stood with both legs heavy, leaned over slightly and tapped his numb calf, then took out a shiny one-yuan coin from his trousers pocket, threw it into the nearby money changer, and exchanged it for game coins .

He walked to the girl's side in two steps, squatted down and spread his hands, asked for the only coin she had left, made a pair and stuffed it into the claw machine.

The familiar startup sound sounded again, and the red game time counted down from No.20 five seconds.

Qi Mingyu unhurriedly brushed away Jin Chen who was blocking the console, tilted his head and asked him in a deep voice, "Which one do you want?"

19, 18, 17, 16...

While Jin Chen was in a daze, the numbers kept decreasing.

"...she wants white."

"En." Qi Mingyu's gaze fell back into the transparent cover of the claw machine, and he found the best position among several white dolls, and by the way, raised his hand and violently shook the operating lever twice.

10, 9, 8, 7...

The mechanical claw finally calmed down after dangling for a few seconds, and the young man compared the distance seemingly casually.

Jin Chen lowered his head subconsciously, watching the number on the console change from 3 to 2 and finally to 1.

And when he looked up again, Qi Mingyu had already bent down, reached into the drop box, and in the next second miraculously found a snow-white lop-eared rabbit.

"Wow! Got it!"

The little girl took the hard-won spoils from him, thanked him well, and ran away in a skip, probably to show off to her friends.

Jin Chen looked at Qi Mingyu for two seconds, then turned his head to look at the claw machine, with a delicate expression.

"What? You also want a white one? You're lucky, kid, otherwise, at the speed you swallowed coins just now, whenever you encounter someone with a bad temper, you can cry on the spot."

Qi Mingyu's tone was joking, but a softer chuckle responded to him.

"Do you come here often?" Jin Chen guessed and asked.

"En. This place has been open for almost ten years." Qi Mingyu roughly counted the time, and responded in a deep voice: "I used to practice specially to coax my sister, and there is still a lot of money in the membership card."

His gaze followed a row of colorful machines to the distance, and then he spoke.

"However, the boss who changed later was a bit dark, and the mechanical claws of many machines were loosened, so I didn't come here often. I just passed by occasionally, and it was a youthful feeling."

When Qi Mingyu spoke, Jin Chen seemed to think of a scene he had never seen many years ago, the immature boy and his sister running around in this game hall.All kinds of dolls caught are full of hands, and the envious eyes of other players are everywhere they pass.

"Okay, don't look at it, let's go." The person who also remembered his stupid childhood, stretched out his hand and grabbed the "game black hole player".

"En." When Jin Chen followed Qi Mingyu out, he suddenly glanced back and saw the words machine payment and exchange posted on the store door, took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message.

[Brother Shen, help me talk to the owner of this house. ]

The beginning of December is Qi Ran's birthday.

For the Qi family who "prefer daughters over children", this day is much more solemn than a coming-of-age ceremony a while ago.

Early in the morning, Qi Mingyu was threatened by his mother and sister to go out, saying that he was going shopping together, but in fact he was playing the role of helping carry bags without asking for money.

From the opening of the mall to the time for lunch, the tool man finally found a chance to escape.

I wanted to have something to eat in the food court on the top floor to fill my empty soul for a long time, but at the gate of the video game city halfway, I was attracted by a familiar figure.

Jin Chen stood in front of a claw machine in a single gray sweater, earnestly hooking the small plush toy inside.

Is this addictive?

Qi Mingyu snorted from a distance, walked over and stood beside him with strides.

After getting closer, he could see clearly that the machine in front of Jin Chen actually had an administrator magnetic card inserted into it, which could be used unlimitedly without inserting coins.

"Coincidentally." The boy just turned his head and was a little surprised when he saw the acquaintance behind him.

"Don't tell me...you bought this machine." Qi Mingyu squinted his eyes in disbelief.

"No." Jin Chen still continued to grab, and his tone was the same as usual: "I bought the whole video game city. Welcome, Brother Qi."

"...Is this how you prodigal sons develop amateur interests?"

Jin Chen didn't answer the question, and gently touched the bridge of his nose with his right index finger, and said nonsense, "Cough—, didn't you say...your sister likes to play this?"

Then he took out the administrator card from the machine, handed it to the person in front of him, and continued with a smile.

"Then, based on the friendship between the two of us, you still have to be responsible for teaching me hand in hand?"

The author has something to say:

Qi Mingyu: Here he comes again, here he comes again.Guy gay I have a lot of tricks.
