Capítulo 1191: Chapter 700: Smashing Stalls Together, Watching Fireworks Hand in Hand (Part 2)

When all the rings were cast, Jiang Chengsi tilted his head and asked, “Want to keep playing? Anything else you want?”

She said nothing, glancing at the boss with her peripheral vision.

The boss looked at her pitifully, so she restrained her laughter and shook her head.

They’d won lots of things, but in the end, the two of them only took a music box and a stuffed toy, which helped the boss cut his losses.

“Take care.” The boss gave them the gifts and didn’t dare to ask them to come back again.

Just after sending these two off, the boss replenished the prizes, and a boy came over with 20 yuan, saying, “Uncle, I want 20 of them.”

“Alright.”

The boss still liked kids; children usually never win anything.

“Brother, I want that Pikachu!” Standing beside him was a little girl, soon joined by her parents. In the freezing weather, everyone was covered up with scarves and masks, so it’s hard to see their faces. The boss noticed they were well-dressed and clearly wealthy and encouraged them to buy more.

And the result was…

The boss was so stressed he almost packed up and closed shop!

During New Year’s, it’s like encountering some bad luck.

He’d just sent away a big spender, and now a little one arrived.

“Want to keep playing? Aren’t we going to set off fireworks?” Jiang Yanting frowned. This guy was like a wild horse at the night market, out of control, already bought a heap of stuff, and still playing.

He’d heard the commotion from this side not far away, and pushed through the crowd.

The busier it was, the more he wanted to join in.

“Wait a moment.” Jiangjiang was intensely focused.

The 20 rings had almost claimed all the most expensive prizes, but in the end, he only took a Pikachu.

The boss felt their purpose wasn’t to win things, but just for enjoyment, to show off and challenge.

…

On the other side

After causing a stir at one booth, Jiang Chengsi led the girl to another stall.

“Have you played this before?” Jiang Chengsi pointed to a shooting game with prizes.

“No.” She held a big bear, standing out in the crowd.

“Let’s go check it out.” Jiang Chengsi was already in a bad mood tonight, eager to try everything.

The boss greeted them warmly, eyeing their clothes with a smile, thinking:

Little fat sheep coming to the slaughter.

“You play first.” Jiang Chengsi took the bear from her.

“You can leave things here.” The boss enthusiastically offered to watch over their belongings.

“Really never played this?” Jiang Chengsi asked, watching her fiddle with the shooting game gun, seemingly unsure how to start.

She shook her head.

“Put your left hand here!” Jiang Chengsi adjusted her position, almost embracing her.

The boss attended to other customers while keeping an eye on the two.

Thinking they were likely just ordinary young lovers on a date.

“Once you’re in position, aim at the target and pull here, simple enough.” After all, it wasn’t a real gun, not too complicated.

Actually, they maintained some distance, but Jiang Chengsi spoke softly, almost whispering by her ear.

Deep and gentle, warmly lingering.

As the cold wind blew, despite the chill around, her ears tingled and heated, a spark spreading to her heart.

In the dim night, otherwise Jiang Chengsi might see her slightly reddened face.

“Try it yourself.” Jiang Chengsi stepped back.

She missed the target three or four times in a row.

The boss was used to it; after all, making money from the stall, if everyone was that precise, he’d be out of business.

“Don’t rush, miss, take your time.” The boss smiled, trying to comfort her.

But then, he was stunned.

The girl seemed possessed or suddenly found some trick.

Hitting multiple bullseyes repeatedly.

The cold wind stirred her loose, black hair floating before her, somewhat obstructing her view…

Just as she was about to move her hair behind her ear, another hand reached over, warm fingertips brushing her forehead, and clumsily tucked her hair behind her ear, the pads of the fingers resting by her ear.

“There you go.” Jiang Chengsi had been watching her, already annoyed by those stray hairs, “Keep going.”

Only then did the boss take a serious look at the girl…

The way she held the gun and shot didn’t look like a beginner—

A crowd gathered around, bursting into applause and cheers.

After making another boss cry, Jiang Chengsi looked at her, saying, “Didn’t you say you hadn’t played?”

“I used to shoot with my dad, handled a real gun, never toy guns.” She replied.
