The elite men Qiao Qing had dated were all either rich or noble. If they didn't possess all three — wealth, beauty, and power — they weren't her targets.
Her motto was: A clever hunte...
The square is very large. Near the square is a snack street with various exquisite gadgets.
Where there are people, there are business opportunities.
If you want to skate, you definitely need shoes. The two of them didn't prepare any before they came, it was purely a spur of the moment decision.
Fortunately, after looking around, I saw a place that rented roller skates.
Qiao Qing was very happy.
It only costs ten dollars to rent a pair of shoes, and twenty dollars for two pairs, which is really cheap.
This was the first time that Qin Yang tried this way of skating. He always went to a special skating rink for skating. He was naturally fully equipped and had to take protective measures. You know, if you don't maintain your balance while skating, it's easy to fall.
There are also people who have broken bones due to falls while ice skating.
So this is the first time I've seen someone just rent a pair of shoes and go out for a walk.
As soon as Qiao Qing arrived here, he couldn't wait to find skates that fit his size.
Qin Yang held the shoes and did not move.
"Are there any knee pads or something like that for sale here?"
In fact, what he wanted to ask was whether there were any roller skates or something like that for sale, but seeing Qiao Qing looking so excited, he didn't spoil the fun.
"No, I used to rent them, but people who come to skate always bring these things with them. There is no market and I can't make money, so I don't rent them anymore."
The boss was a middle-aged man with a kind smile. He held the payment code in his rough, calloused hands and raised it towards Qin Yang.
"Handsome guy, you have to pay for this first."
"Let me do it."
Qiao Qing said hurriedly, and before Qin Yang could make any move, she took out her cell phone and scanned it.
"You treat me to a meal, and I'll treat you to ice skating."
As she spoke, she winked at Qin Yang mischievously, looking so adorable.
Qin Yang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and a glimmer of smile appeared in his eyes.
"OK."
He originally had no intention of wearing them, so he took some shoes and sat down.
The boss handed him two transparent plastic bags. Qin Yang put the bags on his feet and then put on his shoes.
After putting them on, he stood up and tried them on. Of course, he felt that they were not as good as the ones he bought with his own money, but it was also a novel experience.
This was Qiao Qing's first time wearing it, and he ran into problems right away.
She didn't know how to dress.
After trying for a long time, Qiao Qing finally gave up this difficult move in frustration and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Why can't I button this up?"
"Beauty, just pry it open with force and then buckle it again."
The boss kindly reminded Qiao Qing.
Qiao Qing tried, "But I don't know how to pry it open. There's one open, but it can't be fastened."
Single-wheeled skates don't have laces like double-wheeled ones. If I had known earlier, I would have used double-wheeled ones and wouldn't have encountered this problem.
Qin Yang looked at Qiao Qing's embarrassed look, moved his legs, and slid in front of Qiao Qing very smoothly.
"Just use a little force to break this open."
He controlled the shoe and knelt on one knee to help Qiao Qing open the buckle.
Qiao Qing shrank her legs a little embarrassedly, but Qin Yang didn't think it was a big deal and helped her put on her clothes naturally.
"See, isn't it very simple? Use a little more strength next time." Qin Yang stood up and looked at Qiao Qing with a smile.
Qiao Qing actually felt that his gaze was a little scorching, and her fair little face suddenly became tinged with a hint of red.
She hooked her hair to her ears with her slender fingers, pursed her lips shyly, and whispered, "Thank you!"
"fine."
Tan Yang didn't care much. He looked puzzled and asked, "Can you stand up?"
Seeing the other party's excitement, it didn't look like he had played this game before, especially since he didn't even know how to put on shoes, which further confirmed his guess.
"I've tried two-wheelers before, but this is my first time trying a single-wheeler. I think the single-wheeler will glow, which looks fun."
Qiao Qing's eyebrows were curved, and her watery eyes seemed to be jumping with tiny rays of light, which was very dazzling.
Qin Yang turned his head and looked at the distance from the square. He pointed in a direction with his bony fingers, "We have to go over there first. It's quite far. Can you handle it?"
The ground on the square side is relatively flat, but here there are small stalls, so it is really not a suitable place for skating.
However, it is some distance from the square and there is a flight of stairs. For novices, it is easy to fall on flat ground, and climbing the stairs is even more difficult.
Qiao Qing also looked towards the square and stayed on the steps for two seconds. She looked at Qin Yang hesitantly and said, "Let me try."
Holding on to the things around her, she slowly stood up.
Qin Yang skated as if it were flat ground. He casually slid to the side of Qiao Qing, but due to the difference between men and women, he did not extend a hand to help.
"Be careful and take your time."
His eyes were always on Qiao Qing's every move, afraid that she would fall.
"good."
Qiao Qing held on to something and finally stood steadily. Then he slowly let go, controlled his mentality, and kept himself balanced.
Although I have never ridden a single wheel, I have some experience with dual wheels before, so I know that mentality is very important. If you are afraid of falling, you will be very nervous, and once you are nervous, it will be difficult to control the direction of the pulley.
Seeing that Qiao Qing was able to hold on and stand firmly, Qin Yang felt relieved. He began to instruct: "Don't be anxious, don't be afraid, walk slowly."
Qiao Qing moved once, then once again, and began to walk.
"ah"
Just when she was about to relax, the pulley suddenly slid forward uncontrollably, and she almost fell backwards.
Qin Yang didn't care about the difference between men and women. He reached out and took Qiao Qing's hand, and pulled Qiao Qing back with force.
Wearing skates, the friction is very small, and under the effect of the reaction force, Qin Yang's balance is suddenly disrupted. He holds Qiao Qing's hand with one hand and holds Qiao Qing's slender waist with the other hand.
It took some twists and turns for the two to finally stand firm.
"Are you okay?"
Qin Yang quickly let go of his hand, "Hold my arm, I will take you away."
"I was so scared, I almost thought I was going to fall hard."
Qiao Qing's gentle tone was full of relief. She listened to Qin Yang and placed her slender hand on Qin Yang's arm.
She glanced at Qin Yang carefully, her face slightly embarrassed.
“This is too hard to play.”
Qin Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's always like this when we first meet."
He looked forward and slowly led Qiao Qing.
Both of them chose to ignore the awkward situation.
However, there were too many obstacles here. Even with the support of Qin Yang, Qiao Qing was still not very stable.
"Wait a moment."
Qiao Qing slowly squatted down and took off her skates. Fortunately, she had wrapped her shoes in two plastic bags before putting them on. She just jogged forward two steps.
She turned around and smiled brilliantly at Qin Yang, her eyes flowing like the rippling of spring water.
"Look, I won't fall if I climb the stairs this way."
Qin Yang was stunned, as if he had never thought of this method.
However, looking at Qiao Qing's slender back as she trotted up the stairs step by step, he couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth.
"You are so clever."
Qiao Qing couldn't tell how sincere Qin Yang's compliment was, but she quickly responded, "Of course."
There are a lot of kids skating here, and it's quite noisy with people coming and going.
Some children saw that Qiao Qing didn't know how to play, so they came over and circled around Qiao Qing, wanting to play with him. However, they were so fast that Qiao Qing had a hard time standing and couldn't keep up at all. He almost fell. Fortunately, Qin Yang was watching from behind.
"Hold my arm and I'll play with you."
Qin Yang slid to the side of Qiao Qing and stretched out his hand. He was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, and the lines of his arms were smooth, looking like someone who exercises regularly.
He couldn't help but joke.
"Looking at your appearance before, I thought you were very powerful!"
"I just wanted to give it a try. You misunderstood, blame me." Qiao Qing pouted and retorted.
Qin Yang couldn't help but laugh at this, and he chose not to bother with Qiao Qing.
"Okay, you're right."
Originally, there was a sense of distance between the two of them, but after this fight, they became much closer.
Under Qin Yang's guidance, Qiao Qing became more and more stable, but the two of them changed from Qiao Qing holding Qin Yang's hand in the beginning to holding hands now.
The speed thrill brought by the pulley is really refreshing, especially when there is someone leading you, it is completely different from playing alone.
Qin Yang took Qiao Qing for several laps of skating. Qiao Qing finally chose to take a break, and they naturally let go of each other's hands.
"No, I'm too tired."
Qiao Qing sat on a stone bench nearby, unwilling to get up again.
Ice skating is really a physically demanding activity. She glanced at the time and saw that it was only a little over 9:40. She had only been playing for about half an hour and was already sweating all over. Her strength was completely exhausted.
After taking another look at Qin Yang, who looked refreshed and had no feeling at all, he finally felt the gap between people.
"Then you sit down first." Qin Yang did not sit down. He glanced around and said, "Then I will take a walk by myself first."
"Well, you can play by yourself. I'll sit here for a while."
Qiao Qing waved his hands. He was already out of strength, his mouth was dry, and even speaking was difficult for him.
She sweated too much, and the makeup on her face was probably oxidized. Fortunately, the original owner had a good foundation, otherwise she would not dare to bring Qin Yang to do this physically demanding work.
When Qin Yang left, Qiao Qing took out his cell phone and took a picture of his back.
She took a look. The person was moving, so the photo was a little blurry, but she could still see the person's profile clearly. If she was familiar with Qin Yang, it would not be difficult to recognize him.
I had nothing to do so I glanced at my phone. In the team group, there were ranking invitations from [猫咪de小鱼], and he tagged Qin Yang many times, but Qin Yang didn't reply.
That’s right, Qin Yang was with her all night, so he didn’t have time to look at his phone.
Qiao Qing's eyes flickered and he sent the picture to the group.
[It's Qiao Qiao]: "The nights here at Jiazhou Shengwen Plaza are really lively. You can come and have fun if you have time."
Someone replied soon, "It's Qiao Qiao." She is quite popular in the team. After all, girls in the game "King of Glory" are quite popular. What's more, she has good skills and rarely lets her teammates down.
[Deep Sea Mud Bay Chenchen]: "It does look like there are a lot of people, but where I live is quite far from Jiazhou, otherwise I would go and play."
[Just looking at you makes you scared]: "I've been here before. It's crowded at night and really lively. If you haven't been here, you can come and check it out."
【Empty City Old Dream】: "Qiao Qiao, are you still playing outside so late? It's not safe to be alone, go home early."
The active team members replied to the messages, and Qiao Qing picked out a few to reply to.
The ends of her slender eyebrows were slightly raised. [Cat's Little Fish] was probably playing games, otherwise she would be anxious.
