Chapter 50: Fighting the Claw Machine

"Qi Ze, look at this idol, it doesn't look like Hee Hee," Jiang Mingyue pointed at a white puppy doll in the claw machine and showed it to Qi Ze.

Qi Ze walked over and leaned next to the claw machine, staring at the doll.

"Hmm...like."

Jiang Mingyue had already put the game coins in. Hearing this, she glanced at him and asked, "Why is your answer so reluctant?"

Qi Ze raised his eyebrows and did not answer the question. He watched Jiang Mingyue play with it. He just picked up the little doll, but it fell down before he could move it.

"Ouch, that was almost the case," Jiang Mingyue said regretfully.

Qi Ze chuckled, turned around and walked to the claw machine next to him, looking at the various small toys inside.

Suddenly I saw a moon doll wearing a small blue hat with two big eyes embroidered on it. It was very cute.

Qi Ze threw a game coin in his hand, gripped the joystick with his white fingers, and stared at the moon doll seriously with his slightly raised phoenix eyes.

Pick it up carefully and rise.

Pop.

The moon doll fell down before it even rose up.

Qi Ze raised his eyebrows and threw another one in to continue catching.

He was not caught this time.

continue.

…

He had used up all the game coins in his hand but still hadn't caught it.

He grabbed another handful of game coins from the basket next to Jiang Mingyue, about thirty in total.

Jiang Mingyue was still trying to catch the puppy doll. She had already brought the puppy to the exit, but she just couldn't get it out.

For a moment, both of them were concentrating on catching dolls.

"How come we are almost there again? We are almost at the exit but just can't get out." Jiang Mingyue slapped the claw machine angrily.

He reached out to the basket where the game coins were kept, ready to take some to fight again, but he touched nothing. He turned around and saw that there were no more game coins!

It hasn't been long, and the five hundred game coins are gone, and I haven't caught any yet.

Qi Ze had used up the last game coin in his hand and did not catch it.

Qi Ze: “No more?”

Jiang Mingyue: “No more.”

"What happened? Is it because we have bad luck or are our skills in catching dolls so poor?"

Jiang Mingyue looked at the empty basket and said with a smile.

Then he shook his head and answered himself, "Neither of them. It must be the claw machine's problem."

Qi Ze still held the operating handle with one hand and turned to take a look at the moon doll in the claw machine.

After his unremitting efforts, the doll has moved to a position ten centimeters away from the exit.

Qi Ze nodded upon hearing this, "Yeah."

Jiang Mingyue followed his gaze and saw the moon doll. She instantly started to have wild thoughts.

He couldn't have grabbed the moon because...

"You...you are catching the moon?" Jiang Mingyue asked a little embarrassedly.

Qi Ze lowered his eyes and looked at her, his eyelashes trembling, and his eyes, like deep pools, were shining with water.

He said frankly, "Well, it's... cute."

Jiang Mingyue's head suddenly buzzed and she felt herself blushing.

She shamelessly associated Little Moon with herself and now she is called adorable!

Although she knew that he was talking about the cute moon doll, she couldn't help but connect it to herself.

I always feel that Qi Ze is saying that she is cute.

Jiang Mingyue lowered her head, afraid that her face would really turn red and be seen by him.

She licked her dry lips and said, "Why don't we buy some more and try again to see if we can catch it."

Qi Ze chuckled, "Well, I'll go buy some more."

Qi Ze took the basket and turned to buy game coins.

Jiang Mingyue turned around and lay on the glass of the claw machine, looking carefully at the moon doll.

It was a white crescent shape with a blue hat on one end, which was a bit like the hat on Santa Claus' head.

There are two big round eyes on the moon.

There is also an upturned mouth at the bottom.

Jiang Mingyue looks quite cute and furry overall, and must feel soft when held in the hand.

Qi Ze came back soon.

He bought a thousand game coins this time. If he still can't catch it this time, then there must be something wrong with the claw machine.

Jiang Mingyue grabbed a handful of game coins and suddenly suggested, "How about we switch, I'll help you catch them and you help me catch them?"

"Yeah, okay," Qi Ze agreed without hesitation.

So the two of them changed the claw machine, Qi Ze went to catch the puppy and I caught the little moon.

Before catching him, Jiang Mingyue clasped her hands together and prayed, hoping that the goddess of luck would bless her.

Then bend over, insert the coin, and hold the joystick.

Eyes fixed on the little moon.

Watch him being picked up, rising, moving….

"It's almost there, we'll be at the exit soon...ah~", Jiang Mingyue loosened her hand.

With a bang, the little moon popped out from the exit.

Jiang Mingyue was so happy that she almost jumped up. She bent down and took out the little moon, "Qi Ze, I caught it, I caught it!"

Jiang Mingyue happily waved the little moon to show Qi Ze.

Qi Ze also smiled happily, revealing his white and neat teeth and his eyes were curved.

He reached out and touched Little Moon's little hat.

Jiang Mingyue grabbed his hand and said, "Hurry, hurry, I was just blessed by the goddess of luck. I will pass on my good luck to you now."

As he spoke, he grabbed Qi Ze's hands and rubbed them together, "Pass the luck!"

Qi Ze let her hold his hand, and watched her movements with his curled eyelashes drooping, his eyes full of smiles.

"Okay," Jiang Mingyue rubbed her hands until they were warm, "Try it now."

"Um!"

Qi Ze turned around, put in the coins and continued to catch.

Jiang Mingyue watched nervously from the side.

The puppy is very close to the exit. We just need to pick it up and move it a little bit to get out.

Jiang Mingyue and Qi Ze stared at the puppy being picked up and then falling down before it could move.

Just when the two thought they were going to fail, the puppy fell to the edge of the exit, then swayed left and right, and finally fell towards the exit.

Jiang Mingyue's eyes widened: "Ah, it worked, it really worked!"

Jiang Mingyue quickly picked up the puppy, and looked at the puppy and the moon in her hands, feeling a little bit unbelievable for a moment.

It was so easy to catch this time!

Jiang Mingyue shook the two little dolls in her hands and looked at Qi Ze, "I didn't expect that he would be caught so soon after the exchange. I can't believe it."

Qi Ze was also very happy, smiling with a relaxed expression, "Maybe it's really the goddess of luck that favors me."

Jiang Mingyue: "Yeah."

Jiang Mingyue handed the little moon to Qi Ze, "Here, it's yours."

Qi Ze took it, and first touched Little Moon's eyes and mouth with his bony fingers, then pinched its hat, and finally stretched out his slender white index finger and gently poked its face. (If that's a face)

Jiang Mingyue: “!”

Jiang Mingyue felt like she was the doll at the moment, with him moving her face around with his fingers.

She scratched her face uncomfortably.

He seemed to be having a lot of fun playing there, and he didn't seem to want to stop.

Jiang Mingyue had to interrupt, "Well, why do you keep bullying it? There are still a lot of game coins. Go play something else."

Qi Ze stopped what he was doing and looked up at Jiang Mingyue with sparkling eyes. "I didn't bully it. I just liked it."

Jiang Mingyue: “!”
