Boss: QAQ I can't laugh.
He initially thought he had made a huge profit, but what profit? He just hoped to lose as little as possible.
If I had known I wouldn't have set up my stall tonight, I would have stayed home with my wife and kids. If I hadn't lost money, I would have made a profit!
Within seconds, all the balloons in the third row also burst.
Just when everyone thought Qiao Shouyan would stop—
After all, he said from the beginning that he only wanted to win the rabbit, and now that condition has been met.
But it didn't happen.
Qiao Shouyan then aimed at the first balloon in the fourth row.
"Smack—"
"Smack—"
The stall owner's face had turned black.
After firing the first fifty bullets, Qiao Shouyan handed the gun to his boss.
"Thirty rounds left."
boss:"……"
Who can give him a fair judgment?
But that's how business is; there are gains and losses.
If he wants to continue making a living by setting up a stall here, the owner has to accept it; otherwise, starting tomorrow, he will no longer be able to do business here.
"Okay, I'll load the bullets for you," the shopkeeper said with a wry smile.
He has a hard life!
After loading thirty bullets for the second time, Qiao Shouyan took the gun and unleashed another merciless barrage of fire, like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
The last thirty shots were all accurate.
"A sharpshooter, bro, you've trained, haven't you?"
"Amazing! Absolutely amazing!"
"Coming to the night market tonight was totally worth it! This show was amazing, I can brag about it for a year! It was truly top-notch!"
"Wait a minute, you can take the rabbit by destroying the first three rows, but this guy swept them all up. Doesn't that mean he emptied the boss's pockets?"
boss:"……"
Do you think I can still laugh?
Meng Yingxin was laughing so hard that her shoulders were shaking.
No wonder, she said her initial performance was off.
Now, she has realized what's happening.
The first five shots were just Qiao Shouyan testing the gun. When he pulled the trigger for the first time, he realized that something was wrong with the gun.
The sights had been adjusted, which would affect the gun's accuracy. So, he wouldn't have been able to hit the balloon if he had used his original shooting habits. Therefore, he used five shots to test the gun and get used to its "accuracy." Naturally, after getting used to it, he hit the target every time.
From beginning to end, there was no such thing as luck; everything was under Qiao Shouyan's control.
As for this toy gun that had been adjusted—
There's not much to say about that. Do you think street vendors are really honest and straightforward in their business, without any tricks or shady dealings?
Many people get carried away while playing, even though they know there's something fishy going on, but they can't quite put their finger on it or know how to deal with it. They're completely dominated by their own emotions, or they simply stop playing altogether.
In short, Qiao Shouyan was just playing his own game; he only wanted to help Meng Yingxin win the rabbit she liked, and he didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
"Go get the rabbit." Qiao Shouyan tilted his head towards the pile of prizes.
Meng Yingxin: "..."
There was a lot of showing off tonight.
But the big rabbit is so cute!
Neither of them had any other thoughts; after all, they were definitely not losing out by exchanging two yuan for this plush toy. But the other onlookers started shouting.
"Boss, that's really dishonest of you. They practically ate everything, and all you're giving them is a prize?"
"This is unreasonable! The prize is too small! We rarely see this kind of performance, even once every few years. Winning just one prize is just too much!"
"Yes, yes, that's unreasonable!"
The boss's heart was bleeding, but he also knew that what these onlookers said made sense.
Given Qiao Shouyan's performance, he certainly won more than just this one big rabbit.
"Here's what we'll do, comrade. Take whatever else you like. I'm in business, and since your target's marksmanship is so good, you deserve to win!" the shopkeeper said.
Despite feeling sorry for them, they had to put on a show of strength.
Meng Yingxin remained silent and looked at Qiao Shouyan. She didn't really care, since she already had the rabbit she had her eye on at first sight.
Qiao Shouyan thought about it and felt that the boss was quite generous, at least he could "afford to lose" and didn't turn hostile. The onlookers were also "kind-hearted" and wanted to help them gain benefits, so he compromised.
"Why don't you just pick another one?" Qiao Shouyan suggested.
“Okay.” Meng Ying thought for a moment and then picked out a large brown bear. She felt it looked a bit like Qiao Shouyan—simple-minded, but very trustworthy and reliable.
"Then those two will do."
The boss was practically begging them to kowtow; they're so loyal, truly loyal!
Despite the jeers from the onlookers, the two of them didn't try to take advantage of the situation and only took two prizes in total. They were so generous!
When they left the stall, each of them had a plush toy in their hand.
Meng Yingxin was holding a rabbit, and Qiao Shouyan was holding a bear.
A little while later, both toys ended up in Qiao Shouyan's arms.
Eating and playing at the night market was quite fun, but Meng Yingxin soon felt a bit full.
Are you going back already?
Neither of them said a word, but they tacitly avoided mentioning going back, wanting to stay together a little longer.
As I walked out of the night market, I saw a dance hall with neon lights still open on the street ahead.
"Qiao Shouyan, can you dance?" Meng Yingxin asked.
Under the neon lights, Meng Yingxin's eyes shone brightly, reflecting a dazzling array of colors.
"I really don't know how to do this." Qiao Shouyan said, a little embarrassed.
He wouldn't know any of that!
He's good at shooting, but he's really not good at anything artistic; he's never even performed in a military choir.
“I don’t know how either, but do you want to learn? Why don’t we give it a try?” Meng Yingxin said.
Even learning the simplest dance is fine, as long as I can do it with Qiao Shouyan. Just thinking about it is exciting.
Dancing is all the rage now!
Young people, especially those in big cities, who don't love playing with these trendy things, unless they're really struggling financially?
"Okay." For some inexplicable reason, Qiao Shouyan nodded.
He didn't even know how he got into the dance hall, how he stored his toys, or how he was taught to dance by the dance hall's instructors.
Amidst the flickering lights and cheerful music, he seemed to be in a daze as he took Meng Yingxin's hand, put his arm around her waist, and stumbled through a difficult dance.
"Heh..." Meng Yingxin couldn't help but laugh out loud. Her eyes were curved, with tiny sparkles in them, as dazzling as diamonds. "Commander Qiao, your dancing isn't even half as cool as your shooting skills."
Qiao Shouyan: "..."
He was so embarrassed he wanted to crawl into a hole.
But actually, he's not that bad. After all, he's skilled. He's just stiff and not smooth enough, unlike those who can jump so freely and fluidly.
Fortunately, Meng Yingxin didn't insist, as it was just an experience after all.
Just jump together, it doesn't matter how well you jump.
