Gu Li took out his phone and scanned the code. As the beep sounded, Gu Li spoke, "Well, we," he looked at the dolls arranged one by one, and a spark suddenly ignited in his eyes, "we can't afford to leave them empty-handed."
Jiang Xu noticed the man's unusually focused attention and said cooperatively, "Leave two for them, it'll look pitiful if they're empty."
Gu Li manipulated the joystick in her hand, "Alright then, let's leave them two as decorations."
As a result, despite Gu Li's elaborate schemes, they didn't even have two left for others, let alone two for themselves.
Gu Li swayed and manipulated the doll from side to side once again, "This time it's definitely going to get up." He stared intently at the doll that had been clamped up.
Jiang Xu was also watching closely. He could almost hear the 'plop' sound of the doll falling when it came off the hook. Gu Li turned her head and looked at Jiang Xu with a gloomy expression. "This is impossible. Do you think it's malfunctioning and trying to steal my money?"
Jiang Xu could tell that Gu Li was genuinely confused. "How about we switch to a different machine?"
Gu Li remained silent for a moment, then pressed the start button again, still not believing it, and pushed Jiang Xu, "Come on, Jiang Xu, you try it. I think it must be broken."
Jiang Xu pressed the joystick. He didn't expect to be able to grab it, after all, Gu Li had tried many times and the hook looked quite loose. However, things turned out unexpectedly well. The doll was steadily held and brought to the exit, and then fell into the hole.
Jiang Xu was a little stunned, while Gu Li was even more stunned. He slowly squatted down and took out a carrot plush toy from the exit, asking incredulously, "It's out already?"
Jiang Xu also looked at the doll, "It's out now."
Gu Li squeezed the doll in her hand and looked up at Jiang Xu, "Is this fake? Are you playing me, Jiang Xu?"
Jiang Xu tilted his head. "I'm starting to think this is really me acting, or is the claw machine playing you?"
Gu Li suddenly became interested and pointed to the claw machine next to him. "Shall we try another one?"
Jiang Xu looked at the plush toy lying in the claw machine. It was a long, green thing that looked a bit like a caterpillar, and he thought it was really not very attractive. "How about we get another one?"
Gu Li said quickly, "No, this is it."
Jiang Xu saw that the person in front of him was already looking down at his phone, switching devices, so he stopped talking. He thought, forget it, Ugly Dolls are Ugly Dolls, as long as Gu Li likes them. Maybe he'll get used to them after looking at them a few more times. Jiang Xu glanced at them a few more times, then looked away. If he didn't like them, he'd just look at them less.
After Gu Li finished, he looked at the plush toy in the claw machine. He immediately knew why Jiang Xu wanted to change it earlier. He smiled and said, "This plush toy is really unique."
Jiang Xu: "I think you like it quite a bit."
Gu Li tilted his head. "We need to learn to discover other people's strengths. For example," he searched for something and made up, "he's quite tall, isn't he?"
Jiang Xu, “…” He should have shut Gu Li up. “During the day, say something you can talk about.”
Gu Li's smile deepened. "Hmm? What do you mean?" He feigned confusion, then looked at the doll and said, "I can't exactly praise it for being green, can I?" He looked like he was in a difficult position.
Jiang Xu said, "Sometimes respecting the facts is quite important. Can't we just not praise someone when they don't have merits?"
Gu Li clicked start, "Wouldn't that make me seem a bit unkind?" He continued to banter with Jiang Xu while operating the device.
Jiang Xu said, "Praising it won't make you seem kind. Why not go to the extreme and just be completely unkind?"
Gu Li looked at the seat seriously and said, "You're misleading the younger generation."
Jiang Xu: "I don't think you have anything worth my time."
After staring at it for a while, Gu Li pressed the button with great enthusiasm, and the hook went down. Only then did he turn his head to look at Jiang Xu and say, "So I'm that outstanding in your eyes?"
Jiang Xu nodded and gave Gu Li a reassuring look. "That's right, you are Xiuer."
When Gu Li turned her head to look at the result of her claw machine attempt, she found that the long plush toy had landed at the exit, and she had grabbed it in no time.
Seeing this, he patted Jiang Xu on the shoulder. When Jiang Xu looked at Gu Li, he saw that the man's face was full of pride and his tone was full of boasting, "See? This is my true strength."
Jiang Xu: "Really?"
Just as Jiang Xu had suspected, Gu Li seemed to be plagued by bad luck afterward, while Jiang Xu, on the contrary, was extremely lucky.
After that, they each had one chance on the claw machine. Gu Li failed to grab any more, while Jiang Xu easily won several.
Gu Li was holding the green doll in one hand, while Jiang Xu had several dolls of various colors in his hands. Gu Li turned his head and secretly glanced at Jiang Xu's hands. "You're so good at this. Tell me honestly, do you always come here with your female classmates to play?" He emphasized the word 'female classmates'.
Jiang Xu looked down at the doll in his hand. "I should have gone more often. I never knew I was so good at this."
Gu Li was just joking, and he was easily appeased by the "first time." "Then you're in for a bad time. You won't be able to show it to your female classmates anymore." But he decided to tease him a little more.
Jiang Xu recognized Gu Li's repeated emphasis on "female classmates" and asked, "Can't we show this to a male classmate? What's the waste? It's not that the male classmate wants me to find a female classmate to see it, is it?"
“I didn’t,” Gu Li replied quickly, and when he looked at Jiang Xu, he saw the teasing in the other’s eyes. He suddenly felt a toothache. “I also think it’s enough for me to see. The main thing is, if I catch too many, I won’t be able to fit them all at home.”
Jiang Xu: "Weren't we supposed to seize the opportunity?"
Gu Li, holding the doll in her hand, said, "It's not about quantity, it's about quality, understand?"
Jiang Xu continued to undermine him, "Isn't it better to have more?"
Gu Li froze for a moment, then gently pressed her hand against Jiang Xu's lips. "Take a break, I'm afraid your lips will hurt."
Jiang Xu remained silent, but still looked at Gu Li with a teasing smile, a smile that was both composed and handsome.
"Wow! Bro, you guys caught so many!" Gu Li was almost grateful for Jiang Chen's voice, which once again attracted everyone's attention.
Gu Li gave the two young men who were walking over with a business-like smile, "You guys have arrested quite a few too."
Jiang Chen held up the dolls in his hand to show Gu Li and the others, "I actually only grabbed two, Zhao Yao grabbed more."
Zhao Yao: "That's because you were lucky today. You relied on your skills."
Jiang Chen scratched the back of his head sheepishly, "I just learned it randomly online, and it doesn't work."
Gu Li raised her chin slightly and said, "Well, you guys are lucky. We rely entirely on our skills."
Jiang Chen praised him, saying, "Brother, you guys are really amazing."
Jiang Xu said, "Don't listen to your brother Li. We just got lucky."
Gu Li waved her hand and said, "Your brother is incredibly lucky, it's enviable."
Jiang Chen said, "Brother, you're pretty good too. Look at this one you caught..." His gaze fell on the doll. "Um..." It seems a bit hard to praise.
The silent backdrop is a pink dollhouse.
