After Xin Yunmao heard this, he hesitated for a few seconds, and finally said, "Forget it."

Seeing that he was trying to keep things quiet, Chu Zhishui also forgot about the boy's name.

They were about to change to something else to play, but as soon as they took two steps outside, the little boy ran to the machine, threw a silver coin into it, and started to grab the dolls with the joystick.

Xin Yunmao was about to leave, but now he stopped, followed the hook with his eyes, and stared at the boy's operation with interest, as if he wanted to imitate the other's expression of watching a show.

Chu Zhishui had no choice but to stay and watch the little boy grab the dolls.

The little boy was very serious. The plush toy fell down the first two times. The third time, the hook caught the plush toy and slowly moved towards the exit. He accidentally bumped into other toys on the road. One of them was bumped out and fell into the exit.

The little boy picked up the plush toy. He glanced at Xin Yunmao carelessly. Now his arrogance was fully displayed.

Xin Yunmao: "..."

Chu Zhishui saw that he looked unhappy and coaxed him kindly: "Okay, it's okay. This is your first time playing. He may not come often."

"Try it again." Xin Yunmao stretched out his hand to her and said in a muffled voice, "Just this time, it will definitely work."

"Okay." Chu Zhishui handed him the game coin, "It's okay if it doesn't work."

Xin Yunmao said nothing. He put the silver coin into the claw machine and held the operating joystick again.

Sure enough, the little boy did not leave, but continued to stand and watch him, and the two sides were obviously at odds.

This time, the grappling hook firmly clamped the plush toy and slid all the way to the exit, just like the previous times. Just when Chu Zhishui thought it was about to shake violently, the grappling hook reached above the exit steadily and decisively loosened, allowing the toy to fall out without losing the chain at all.

Xin Yunmao took out the toy complacently and glanced at the little boy in a demonstrative manner.

Chu Zhishui couldn't help but look at him several times. She stared at the claw machine suspiciously, always feeling that something was wrong.

Next, the man and the monster played with other equipment in the game city. Xin Yunmao was not good at using electronic products, so he had poor adaptability to these things. He always lost when playing with Chu Zhishui. Either he was shot in the head by her in the shooting game, or he got lost in the racing game. Anyway, he never had a smooth time.

However, as long as the little boy came over and showed up, Xin Yunmao would definitely perform beyond his level. If the little boy dared to follow him and touch the machine, he would go back and beat the naughty boy.

The same experience happened several times. The little boy noticed something was wrong. He glared at Xin Yunmao with disgust and accused him: "Did you deliberately pretend to be stupid in front of her, and then ran over to beat me?"

The little boy didn't expect Xin Yunmao to be vindictive. He also thought that the other party was deep-minded. He pretended to be a beginner in front of Chu Zhishui, but he was crazy about him. Is there any justice in the world?

Xin Yunmao: "Huh."

Chu Zhishui said helplessly: "No, have you ever thought that he might not be pretending." He is really stupid.

She felt that Xin Yunmao was not really good at playing these games, and as for the fact that he became amazing in front of the little boy, it was probably some monster's trick.

Xin Yunmao and the little boy finally fought a decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City in front of the gambling game machine.

This machine requires continuous insertion of coins to light up the corresponding positions of the machine. As long as a row of icons can be put together, it will spit out gift vouchers. If all the icons in a row of machines can be lit up, the electronic display board at the top will flash in a variety of colors, congratulating the player for winning the final prize, and a whole row of machines will spit out gift vouchers at the same time.

Many people see that all the icons are about to light up, and then frantically throw game coins in, thinking of picking up a chance, but in the end they get nothing and can't put all the icons together.

Gambling machines are not open and transparent, and you have no idea where the silver coins will be bounced to or what will light up. It can be said that they are the most satisfactory money-making tool for the game city owner. Chu Zhishui had never seen the electronic signs light up when she came here as a child, and she still hasn't seen it now that she works. She even suspects that the instructions next to it are written randomly.

The little boy was the first to find a machine with a much brighter icon, wanting to get ahead of Xin Yunmao. He never thought that he finally lit up one machine, and was about to show off to the bamboo monster, but when he turned around, he saw that the other party had already lit up three machines!

Xin Yunmao leaned against the game machine leisurely and looked at the little boy, with a hint of mockery on his lips, as if his face was full of "I finally waited for you to fall into my hands."

The little boy refused to believe it, and was about to light up the second machine, but unfortunately one of the icons was not in place.

At this moment, Xin Yunmao walked over slowly, and he casually threw a silver coin into the machine, and with a click, the last pattern was lit up.

The little boy looked up in dissatisfaction: "You threw a silver coin into my machine, how can we calculate who lit up more machines?"

"Who lit up more?" Xin Yunmao looked down at him and said lazily, "The game ended a long time ago."

The next moment, the electronic cards above the entire row of gambling machines lit up, not only with dazzling winning animations, but also with a burst of festive and lively celebration music. The huge public sound was heard throughout the game city, and even startled the boss at the counter.

The little boy looked at the game machines on the other side in surprise, and then he realized that Xin Yunmao had lit up a row of them, and only his machine was missing. He stared at the glowing winning card, and then looked at Xin Yunmao in disbelief, frowning slightly, pursing his lips, revealing an absurd and funny expression, as if he couldn't believe it.

Like Chu Zhishui, he had never seen anyone win the final prize of the gambling machine.

Chu Zhishui stood behind Xin Yunmao, she clenched her fist and hit him on the back, speechlessly saying: "You are really promising." He

actually used the monster talent to play a gambling game with the little boy, what's the difference between this and cheating in the background to change the data! ?

She felt something was wrong just now. He would definitely not be able to beat the little boy with his gaming skills, but he had no doubts with his monster power!

The whole row of lit gambling machines made the whole place go wild. Many passersby were attracted and stood by to watch in amazement. Countless gift certificates poured out like the sea. Several machines were running at the same time, and the money was flowing out. It seemed that all the stocks were going to be emptied.

The boss came in panic. He had never seen such a scene before, and asked in confusion: "Did you win the jackpot?"

"Yes, it seems so." Chu Zhishui said embarrassedly.

When the boss heard the bad news, his face turned pale in an instant, and he didn't know what to do when he looked at the gift certificates on the ground.

Ordinary people can only light up one or two machines at most, and the gift certificates spit out are limited, and they need to be accumulated slowly to redeem prizes. However, the entire row of machines spit out all the gift certificates, which means that the prizes in the game city have been cleared out, and they may have to go to the warehouse to move more.

The boss might even use the machine to count the number of gift certificates on the ground, and the machine might be overloaded.

Chu Zhishui held her forehead and tried to smooth things over, saying, "How about this, don't count the number of gift certificates, show us what the prizes are, and we can pick two at random."

The prizes in the game city are nothing more than stuffed toys, thermos cups, etc., and the top prize is a small stereo or Bluetooth headset. There can't be any prizes that are too expensive.

Besides, it's not appropriate for Xin Yunmao to use some tricks. The boss deliberately loosened the clip to bully the God, and the God cheated and ruined the gambling machine, which was a tit-for-tat.

"Okay, okay, you go to the counter and look at what you want in the glass cabinet."

The boss agreed to Chu Zhishui's suggestion, as if he was afraid that she would regret it. He bent down to pick up the gift certificates on the ground, and then opened the machine to put the sorted certificates back. Anyway, they haven't been swiped yet, so they can continue to be used.

After Chu Zhishui and Xin Yunmao left, many passers-by were interested in the gambling machines. They held silver coins in their hands and looked interested.

In front of the glass cabinet, Chu Zhishui looked at the prizes on display. They were all classified according to price levels. Originally, they were to be redeemed for gift voucher points. Who would have thought that they would do it by themselves today.

She asked, "What do you want?"

"I don't want it. You choose." Xin Yunmao was not interested in these things. He played the gambling machine because he was angry with the little boy.

Chu Zhishui looked around the prizes and began to think about what the people around her needed. She took a thermos cup. Xie Yan's cup had just been broken. Then she took a Bluetooth headset. Jin Yu lost the headphone cable again.

Finally, she took out a plush toy of a panda holding a bamboo, and said jokingly with a smile: "Will you be angry if I take this?"

This is a long green plush bamboo, with a cute panda on the top, it is holding the green bamboo pole with its head tilted to the side, and its eyes are round, like sparkling gems. This seems to be not only a plush toy, but also a massage hammer for tapping shoulders. You can hold the bamboo and tap it, and hit it to relieve the fatigue of the body.

Xin Yunmao looked up, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and whispered: "...No."

Chu Zhishui took out the panda holding the bamboo, and she held the long green handle of the massage hammer and tapped Xin Yunmao twice.

Xin Yunmao took the knock obediently. He glanced at the little boy next to him and said, "You choose one."

The little boy was shocked to see Xin Yunmao won the prize, and followed him blankly, obviously not coming to his senses. He didn't expect the other party to say that, and immediately showed a look of surprise. He changed his provocative attitude just now, glanced at Xin Yunmao carefully, and peeked at the prizes in the glass cabinet. He didn't respond immediately, looking a little embarrassed, as if he wanted it but didn't dare to take it.

Xin Yunmao raised his chin slightly. Now that he had gotten his revenge, he taunted with a smile, "You are only worthy of choosing what she left."

The little boy immediately showed a look of shame, and this time he refused to come forward no matter what he said: "..."

Chu Zhishui hit Xin Yunmao with a small hammer. She was amazed at the bamboo demon's narrow-mindedness: "Don't bully children!"

"I'll choose one for him." Xin Yunmao picked a green plush toy, took it out of the cabinet, and handed it to the little boy, "This one suits you."

The little boy took it and saw that it was a vegetable dog. The green silly smiling dog, with a circle of green leaves around its head, seemed to be mocking something, and everything was self-evident.

Little boy: "!?"

"It's okay, just pick another one and ask the boss to give it to you. We'll leave first." Chu Zhishui softly comforted the irritated little boy. She quickly pushed the childish Xin Yunmao out and complained, "If you keep messing with his mentality, he will never come again and will quit the game city completely." The

little boy shouldn't have mocked Xin Yunmao in the first place. Xin Yunmao is the ancestor of yin and yang weirdness. It's like a small witch meeting a big witch!

A man and a monster came out of the game city and unknowingly used up all the game coins. They walked home with the prizes they won.

The sky gradually darkened and the evening breeze blew. The clear sky was stained with the haziness of dusk, and the dreamy colors of light yellow, light purple, and slightly red appeared at the horizon.

The river water sparkled in the sunset, and the street lights on the long bridge were lit, adding more brilliance to this small town.

Chu Zhishui waved the bamboo hammer in her hand. Now that she was leaving the game city, she finally had the chance to ask, "How did you win the prize just now? And how did you beat that kid before? Did you cheat?"

"What do you mean by cheating?" Xin Yunmao frowned and retorted confidently, "I played with him based on my own strength, how can that be considered cheating? I've said it before, as long as it's reasonable in the world, I can make it happen."

"...Isn't this cheating?" "

The premise of cheating is that you have to participate. I don't need to follow the rules, so it can't be considered cheating."

Humans cheat for personal gain, but he doesn't need those at all. Fame and fortune are meaningless to him, and are not even as interesting as competing with a little boy in the game city.

In his eyes, human society is no different from a game city. Whether it is money, status, fame or luck, they are all like gambling machines that can change data. They can be changed with just a flick of the finger. It is not a difficult thing at all. Because of this, it is not easy for gods to understand human emotions. Behind the infinite power is eternal indifference, and everything is at their fingertips.

As long as it exists between heaven and earth and does not shake the law, he can do it.

"You never ask me to make a wish, so I don't know these." Xin Yunmao complained, "Every time you make a wish, it's just a small thing. Either you ask me to help you brush your shoes and wash your chairs, or you bring me food and eat your leftovers. Anyway, there is no serious wish."

If she had made a wish to get rich, she would have been rich and free by now. Why would she need to go to work?

Chu Zhishui said solemnly: "I'm sorry to bother you. Eating leftovers has nothing to do with me. I still don't understand why you do this."

"You are like this because you have few wishes."

"The main reason is that I really have no wishes." Chu Zhishui was unable to speak. Seeing that he was unhappy, she said, "How about this, I will make a wish now."

Xin Yunmao looked at her: "What?"

"Don't cheat when playing games with me in the future." Chu Zhishui said unhappily, "Otherwise I won't be able to win."

Xin Yunmao was stunned and whispered in defense: "...I was playing seriously with you just now."

He and Chu Zhishui were both competing fairly, but he was just deliberately angering the little boy, so he used some tricks.

"I know, otherwise you would have been beaten a long time ago."

Xin Yunmao snorted softly.

The man and the demon walked onto the long bridge across the river. Seeing that the community was not far away, they slowed down their pace unconsciously.

Chu Zhishui looked up at the sky. She took advantage of the last glimmer of light to enjoy the sunset scenery and said, "I heard that there was going to be a snowstorm and hail today, but at this time, there is not even a snowflake to be seen."

Xin Yunmao looked sideways at her. She was wearing a white, light cotton coat, as if wrapped in soft clouds, and inexplicably exuded a bit of cuteness. He hesitated for a moment, his eyelashes trembling, and asked, "Do you want to see snow?"

Xin Yunmao doesn't like snow very much, so he will arrange a holiday, but it is impossible for hail to really fall. Blizzards and hail are cruel destruction to bamboo in winter. If they fall on him, he will feel uncomfortable.

"I have never seen snow in November. I thought there would be some snowflakes falling, the kind that melt as soon as they hit the ground." Chu Zhishui certainly doesn't want hail, but snowflakes are a feature of winter after all, and they are always attractive.

Xin Yunmao was silent.

After a while, they walked forward slowly, and snowflakes actually fell in the air, shining in the reflection of the street lights, swirling leisurely with the breeze, and disappearing on the rippling river surface.

Not far away came the joyful shouts of children: "It's snowing! It's snowing!"

"It only snowed this much after waiting for a day." The adults next to him sighed.

The gorgeous glow and crystal snowflakes contrast each other, as if gold powder is floating all over the sky, decorating Huaijiang City in a dazzling way.

Chu Zhishui picked up a falling snowflake and looked back at Xin Yunmao as if she had some realization. She saw that his dark broken hair was also stained with frost, but the little bit of chill melted away in the blink of an eye. He stared at her softly, saying nothing, and then saying everything.

His eyes are as clear as jet jade, dark eyes, dark hair, and dark clothes. Occasionally, white snow adheres, but quickly dissipates with the wind.

She might not be able to see the moment when his head turns white for the rest of her life, so she can only use her imagination to describe that scene through the dots of soft snow in the sky.

She suddenly remembered a poem: The flying snow has a sound, but it is most elegant among the bamboos. On a cold night in the mountain window, I hear the snow falling on the bamboo forest, the sound of snowflakes rustling and rustling, the sound is leisurely and I can hear it clearly. 1

Now it can be regarded as listening to the snow knocking on the bamboo.

Chu Zhishui stopped to watch the snow, unable to describe her feelings at the moment, and said firmly: "You did it."

Xin Yunmao stopped with her, he stared at the snowflakes on her hair on the side of her face, perhaps because he did not touch her cheek, the small ice flower did not melt immediately, and was still sticking to her mischievously.

"Whether it is a holiday or a light snow, it is you who did it." She said in confusion, "but what is the meaning of this?" She

should have guessed that these things were easy for him, it was just a matter of whether he was willing to do it.

Xin Yunmao casually put one hand in his pocket and wiped the snow off her hair with the other hand. He said calmly as usual: "It doesn't mean anything, but you will be happy."
