Chapter 105, What else can be done but take the initiative?
Xiao Ran smiled gently, "I advanced, all thanks to you."
To be honest, with his pitifully short word count, he had no intention of advancing at all.
But to my surprise, I actually advanced, and even came in first place in the entire group.
"How can this be my achievement? It's because you're so outstanding." Yan Xici blushed, looking shy.
She was still nervous about the kiss she had just received.
After all, this was the first time she had ever been kissed like that!
Xiao Ran shrugged. "Alright, let's not talk about books anymore. What are we going to do next?"
Anyway, it's still early, only a little past six o'clock, and there are still several hours before going to bed. Since we're just going to be idle at home anyway, we might as well take this opportunity to do something that Yan Xici likes to do.
Hearing this, the girl blinked and affectionately linked arms with Xiao Ran, "How about we go play the claw machine?"
When she goes out with her friends, they usually just go to the movies, play claw machines, or have coffee.
Why don't you take Xiao Ran to play the claw machine yourself?
"I'll grant your wish!" Xiao Ran looked smugly at the girl snuggling up to him. After leaving the screening room, the two walked towards the big gamer in front of them.
The girl tugged at his arm and said in a childish voice, "By the way, Brother Xiao Ran, I don't want to look for a job..."
He keeps reminding himself to focus on job hunting, but he doesn't want to work for anyone at all. The thought of working with a lot of strangers makes him feel very uncomfortable.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran paused in his steps, looking at her with surprise, "Why?"
After graduation, you still have to find a job. When he first graduated, he was so excited about working that he couldn't sleep all night. This girl has good grades and a good personality. If she works, she might not get promoted or receive a raise in a short time, but she can definitely get along well with the board members.
"I... I want to film the video properly..." Perhaps afraid of being scolded, her voice grew softer and softer, almost audible only to herself.
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment.
To be honest, making videos as a side job is actually quite good, but if you want to make a living from it and earn money, it's really not an easy thing.
Although videos on major platforms now easily garner tens or even hundreds of thousands of likes, many of these videos go unnoticed. Before you become famous, you wouldn't have received that much traffic. The video industry today is vastly different from what it was a few years ago.
Many people spend a lot of money to become internet celebrities. Of course, there are also those who don't spend money, but they are a very small minority. Yan Li is in this industry, so Xiao Ran naturally has some understanding of it.
To be honest, he didn't really recommend it, but that was his opinion, not hers.
Since she's said that to me, she must have thought it through. Besides, she's still young, so it's not impossible for her to give it a try. When I find that this path isn't working, she'll stop on her own, or maybe she'll actually become famous.
"Have you thought it through?" Xiao Ran looked at her seriously.
Looking into his sincere eyes, Yan Xici was stunned for a moment. She had thought he would try to persuade her, but she didn't expect him to ask her if she had made up her mind.
She pursed her lips, sniffed, and said, "Mmm."
She had been thinking about it for a long time.
Xiao Ran nodded. "Alright, since you've thought it through, let's do it your way."
Upon hearing this, the girl's eyes lit up with disbelief. "You...you agree?"
Xiao Ran blinked dismissively. "Why should I disagree? After all, it's your life, and I have no right to interfere."
Besides, she's neither breaking the law nor violating any rules, so why should I not support her?
"That's great! Thank you, Brother Xiao Ran!" Yan Xici's eyes gradually lit up with surprise, and even the corners of her eyes and brows couldn't hide her joy. She was really happy.
Sure enough, Xiao Ran is still the best to me!
She knew it!
Seeing her so excited she almost jumped up, Xiao Ran affectionately reached out and ruffled her hair. "Alright, let's go play the claw machine."
My mom recently came to visit, and she's been spending a lot of time with her, taking good care of her. I see it all and appreciate it.
Now that they've left, Xiao Ran felt she should relax a bit.
"good!"
Because she was happy, Yan Xici's steps became lighter and more cheerful involuntarily. Seeing her joyful and carefree appearance, Xiao Ran couldn't hide his smile.
The Big Player game is very close to the movie theater; it only takes a few minutes to walk there. It costs 100 yuan and gives you 80 game tokens.
To make sure the girl had fun, Xiao Ran generously bought two hundred game tokens and put them in a small yellow box.
The girl looked inside excitedly. There were people on the dance machine, people on motorcycles, people pushing signs—in short, a lot of people, men and women, it looked very lively.
"Let's go, let's play the claw machine!" Xiao Ran said decisively.
To be honest, he wasn't exactly a claw machine expert, since he rarely came to places like this. If it weren't for the girl wanting to come, he probably wouldn't come even once every five years.
The last time I came here was when I was in junior high school.
"Yay~" Yan Xici was excited and thrilled at this moment, her big eyes looking around curiously, just like a curious child.
Xiao Ran grabbed her little hand and walked towards the claw machine.
Which one do you want?
Upon hearing this, the girl carefully selected from the rows of claw machines. There were little dolphins, tigers, rabbits, and dolls with cat ears. There were many kinds, and basically each machine only had one kind of plush toy, but the colors were all different.
They all look adorable.
The girls were dazzled by the sight.
I think I like them all!
Seeing her hesitantly pacing back and forth in front of the claw machine, Xiao Ran understood.
This is something everyone should like.
Since that's the case, I'll start by doing well from the very first one.
Thinking it over, he decisively inserted three coins into the machine closest to him, three at a time.
As the claws began to wag, the girl's heart leaped into her throat. She took small, quick steps toward Xiao Ran, gazing longingly at the little dolphin inside. "Brother, catch that one, the blue one, the blue one is closest, it's easier to catch!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran did not hesitate to use the mechanical claw to lower it towards the little blue dolphin. With a slight exertion of force, the little dolphin was actually lifted up.
Xiao Ran was quite surprised. Wow, he actually had such good luck sometimes?
He bought two hundred yuan worth of tokens just to try his luck at the claw machine!
Unbelievable! I actually succeeded on my very first try!
