"Okay, then please take a picture of us." Wen Mo smiled and led Xia Lian to the front desk.
The two's spoils are still there, a whole bag full of dolls.
The shop assistant first stuffed a few dolls into the two people's arms, then placed a few more on the counter as decorations, and finally asked the two people to get closer together, with their heads touching.
"Okay, closer."
Is that so?
"Perfect, perfect." The receptionist raised his camera and poked his head out again. "Dude, could you let that pretty girl show some expression? She'll look better in photos that way."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Lian, who had been called out, became a little nervous. Her body tensed up immediately, and she subconsciously put on a serious expression.
Seeing that her expression became even stranger, the receptionist thought that he had upset her, so he quickly scratched his head and apologized.
"It's alright, just wait a moment." Wen Mo waved his hand.
Then, standing behind Xia Lian, he put the doll in his hand aside, stretched out two fingers, placed them on Xia Lian's cheek, and lifted them slightly upwards.
I laughed, even though it was strange.
Seemingly understanding what Wen Mo meant, the shop assistant gave an "OK" sign and pressed the shutter the moment the two of them stopped moving.
After taking several photos, the shop assistant walked up to them with a smile and asked, "After you get the photos developed, can I put one on the wall?"
After saying that, he pointed to the photo wall on the wall, which was full of couples making heart shapes with their hands or kissing each other. Compared to Wen Mo and Xia Lian, the couples on the wall looked more professional, well... professional couples.
And this smile drawn with a finger stands out prominently on the photo wall.
"Thank you for your hard work. How much is it?"
"Oh, no need to pay. The manager wanted to give you one. It's the first time he's ever seen someone win so many plush toys." The clerk smiled and waved his hand. After a while, he handed the printed photo to the two of them, while another photo was pasted in the center of the photo wall.
In the photo, the boy and girl look a little immature, but the boy is still trying his best to make a WeChat gesture. He has two fingers sticking out from his hands, poking at the girl's cheeks and gently lifting them up. The girl immediately has a forced smile on her face, while the dolls around her are just decorations.
"Oh, thank you then." Wen Mo looked at the photo that had suddenly appeared in her palm for a while, and finally couldn't help but laugh. "Your smile is so weird."
“Wen Mocai, that’s strange.”
Xia Lian gently punched his back, grabbed Wen Mo's clothes and followed behind him, then turned around to steal a glance at the photos on the wall, lost in thought.
With plenty of game tokens still in hand and most of the arcade facilities still unexplored, the two took the opportunity to try almost everything in the arcade.
Aside from some shooting games being too terrifying, Xia Lian was a little afraid to play them.
"Let's try that! It looks so fun!" Wen Mo excitedly pulled Xia Lian toward an arcade game called "Zombie Castle".
Xia Lian glanced at the demonstration footage above; the blood was almost splattered onto her face, and just looking at it sent a chill down her spine.
"No, don't play that." She instinctively shook her head, clutching Wenmo's clothes and hiding behind him.
"What's wrong? Don't you like playing this kind of game?" Wen Mo was taken aback.
He didn't think too much about it; he just thought the game might be fun and wanted to give it a try. After all, it was a zombie shooting game, and sitting in this small, dark room was quite immersive.
"Very scary."
Xia Lian shook her head vigorously, glancing up at the screen. It was the execution scene of the protagonist's death, the screen flashing black and red, creating an extremely horrifying effect.
"Don't you like it? Okay, let's change it."
Wenmo felt somewhat helpless and reluctantly said goodbye to the machine, but on the surface he still put on a casual expression.
"sorry……"
"Why apologize? I didn't really want to play that game. It looked scary." Wen Mo chuckled and patted her head, telling a white lie. He actually really wanted to try out the machine.
A short while later, it seemed that a customer had entered the machine, and screams from a man and a woman came from inside.
"See? Just by listening to that scream, you can tell this game isn't fun at all. Let's go." Wen Mo shook his head and pushed Xia Lian away.
In the end, I played some more relaxing and fun games with her, like basketball shooting and whack-a-mole, which kids really enjoy.
As Xia Lian passed by the dance machine, the beautiful woman dancing on it caught her eye and made her stop to take a second look.
"Do you want to play this too?" Wen Mo looked at Xia Lian, then at the dance machine, and frowned slightly. He didn't really want his girlfriend to play this in front of so many eyes.
Xia Lian blinked her eyes, then shook her head slightly.
"I don't want to play around." She quietly pointed to that woman, "She's very pretty."
Hearing this, Wen Mo finally understood why he had stopped to look. It turned out that beautiful women are attracted to each other, and this girl just wanted to take a few more glances at the beautiful women, not that she wanted to play the dance machine.
"You're pretty too, go back and look at yourself in the mirror more often."
"Yes, I am very pretty." Xia Lian was already used to Wen Mo's praise, and she raised her head slightly, looking quite cute.
After having a great time, Wen Mo, carrying the bag he had used to store the plush toys, left the arcade with Xia Lian.
"This time I really had a good time."
"Mm." Xia Lian nodded and followed behind.
Just as I was about to leave, I looked back at the arcade behind me.
Wen Mo followed her gaze and saw Xia Lian looking at the photo wall at the front desk.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Lian shook her head. "It's nothing."
Although he felt a little strange, Wenmer didn't say anything. He just thought that if the photo was hung there, probably no one he knew would see it.
...
"Do you think it's really okay for us to skip evening self-study like this?" Qin Zhou followed Xiang Xiaonan furtively and whispered.
"Oh well, it's already over, so let's not be afraid." Xiang Xiaonan patted his back generously like a big sister, and then scurried into the arcade like a happy rabbit.
"Hey, wait for me a minute!"
Qin Zhou cried out, his head aching.
The two of them skipped evening self-study today, not for any other reason than simply not wanting to go to class.
"It's been a long time since I've been to this arcade. The last time we came, it was just the three of us."
"It's just that Wenmer isn't here today."
Qin Zhou put his hands behind his back, casually looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on a certain spot. "Wait, that guy seems to be here today."
"Huh? What did you say?" Xiang Xiaonan moved closer to him and looked in the same direction as him.
I saw familiar faces on that large wall of couple photos.
