Waking up overnight to become the novel's female protagonist? What a stroke of luck!
I declare that this beautiful, yandere, yet insecure second male lead is totally my type!
Throug...
"We'd also like popcorn and two Cokes," I said to the receptionist, leaning close to You and casually linking my arm with hers.
"Okay." The receptionist looked up at You and me, her eyes full of amazement. As she handed me the Coke and popcorn, she whispered, "You and your boyfriend are so good-looking, you're such a perfect match."
I linked my arm with You's and laughed even harder, "We're already married."
The young lady opened her eyes wide and looked at me and You again, "Then I wish you happiness."
I happily said to the young lady, "Thank you!"
Our movie was about half an hour away from starting, and luckily there was a claw machine at the entrance of the cinema.
"Shall we go play that?" I tugged at You and pointed to the claw machine standing at the entrance of the cinema.
You looked in the direction I was pointing, a hint of doubt in his eyes, clearly he didn't know what that thing was for.
It seems that You, this old-fashioned person, doesn't quite understand the modern human world. "That's a claw machine, it's a lot of fun. When couples go out on dates, the boy will try to win a claw machine for the girl."
The original protagonist lived in the human world until he went to university, so it's not strange that I know these things.
I bought ten coins, gave You a brief explanation, and even demonstrated a failed attempt myself.
I didn't really expect to win. When I went out with friends before, I could never win anything from claw machines, no matter how hard I tried. And I don't know if it's because I'm immune to them, but none of the boys who tried to get me to play either could win. They all ended up buying one for me from a street vendor. Even though the ones they bought were nice, I still wanted to win one. It's like that saying, the more unattainable something is, the more you want it.
You took the coin from my hand, her dark eyes fixed intently on the claw machine's plush toy. Looking at her from the side, I saw that You's lips were tightly pursed, and she looked very serious.
Serious men are indeed very handsome, I couldn't help but sigh.
As You solemnly slapped the claw machine, the claw slowly descended. "I got it! I got it!" I shouted excitedly, but perhaps the claw machine was deliberately working against me, and the plush toy slipped back down.
"Sigh, he's collapsed again."
You frowned, clearly not believing that she could be no match for a mere machine in the human world, and inserted another coin to try again.
"You can't use magic," I whispered in You's ear, standing on tiptoe.
My actions with You have already attracted a group of viewers. You and I are already quite attractive on the street, and now that we're playing claw machines, people are gathering around to watch.
You nodded. This time, You carefully compared the target of the grab and chose a doll that was relatively close to the exit. However, as soon as she grabbed it, it slipped down again.
You raised an eyebrow and continued to stuff coins into the doll, quickly running out of ten coins.
You bought another fifty coins and kept trying to catch that doll. I don't know how many times You tried, but each time you were just a little bit away from succeeding. I couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Why don't you try a different doll? This one is hard to catch, let's try another one."
"Xin'er, don't worry, I'll catch it for you soon." As I spoke, the boy at the claw machine next to me had already caught a plush toy and given it to the girl next to him.
This scene clearly provoked You, who couldn't even catch a single doll, despite being the mighty Heavenly Emperor.
You carefully compared the angles before pressing the button, looking at it not only from the front but also from the side. Seeing him like this, I really couldn't bear to tell him that these claw machines are actually set with a fixed probability. The reason you can't win is not because the angle is wrong, but because the claw is too loose.
There's only one coin left out of fifty. This is the last chance. The movie will start soon after you finish grabbing it.
