"This one!"
Yu Yunzhi pointed to a claw machine. The plush toys inside looked like they had just been placed by the staff and were very close to the opening, making them seem easy to grab.
Shao Wenyan followed behind Yu Yunzhi, acting as the basket carrier's assistant.
Shao Wenyan had been to arcades before, but he had never played seriously. Although he had seen these novel things before, he was learning how to play many of them for the first time.
Yu Yunzhi tried several times, but failed to catch the doll.
A group of children surrounded them, all watching Yu Yunzhi try his luck at the claw machine. With so many coins, they were sure to have a chance to win.
Seeing that Yu Yunzhi had tried to catch it more than ten times without success, the children were all anxious for her.
"You try it once."
Seeing that Shao Wenyan was also standing beside her watching, Yu Yunzhi gave Shao Wenyan three coins and let him try it once.
Shao Wenyan knew about claw machines, but had never actually tried one. He imitated Yu Yunzhi's actions, first inserting three coins, then moving the claw and pressing the button.
"Wait a minute, it's not aligned yet!"
Yu Yunzhi hurriedly tried to stop Shao Wenyan from pressing the button, but it was too late; he had already pressed it.
Yu Yunzhi thought to himself: Oh no, I've wasted three coins again.
The children around were so frightened that they covered their eyes. Oh no, another failure.
"Gotcha!" a child shouted.
The other children quickly let go and looked up. And sure enough! They'd caught him!
Yu Yunzhi was also stunned. What was going on? Wasn't it off-target? Why was it grabbed?
"Wow! You're amazing, Brother Wen Yan!" Yu Yunzhi exclaimed in surprise.
"Big brother, you're amazing! You caught it on your first try!"
"Brother Wen Yan, how did you do that? You're really amazing. Have you done this many times before? That's why it was so easy for you to catch him."
"No, it's my first time playing."
Shao Wenyan took the doll out from below and handed it to Yu Yunzhi. It was a little StellaLou, and it looked adorable.
Hearing Shao Wenyan's words, Yu Yunzhi was even more puzzled. He had come to play so many times every year, but he had only managed to catch a handful of plush toys.
Shao Wenyan won a plush toy on his first try. Is this some kind of beginner protection device?
No, these claw machines are supposed to have some kind of program! It must be because I played this machine too many times, and just reached the number of times the claw would lock, that's why Shao Wenyan grabbed the doll so easily.
Yu Yunzhi refused to believe it and switched to a different machine, this time letting Shao Wenyan play with it first.
"Brother Wen Yan, this."
"good!"
Shao Wenyan repeated the previous step, casually clamping it... and failed!
"Hahahaha! I knew it! How could you be so lucky?"
Seeing that Shao Wenyan also failed to catch anything this time, Yu Yunzhi felt better. He had spent so much money and played so many times, how could he possibly be no match for Shao Wenyan, a newbie!
It must have been that trap that locked in that way that allowed Shao Wenyan to catch him.
Shao Wenyan lost three more game coins; he now fully understood the trick.
The first time he did have a bit of luck involved, the second time Shao Wenyan was finding the right angle, and now he's completely got it.
He moved the clamp around, found the right spot, and pressed the button with a "click".
Yu Yunzhi and the other children around him held their breath and watched intently.
The clamp slowly descended and finally hooked the string of the little doll.
"Amazing! Amazing!"
"Wow……"
The surrounding children were incredibly supportive, cheering and jumping for joy for Yu Yunzhi and Shao Wenyan when they saw that another one had been caught.
What bad intentions could a child possibly have! Seeing others win plush toys, even if it wasn't them who won, makes them happy too.
Yu Yunzhi was surprised that Shao Wenyan caught another one the second time. She took the small doll from Shao Wenyan and was dumbfounded.
No way! He's so lucky? He actually caught someone again?
Yu Yunzhi refused to believe it, so she took three game coins and put them in to try again.
...
Yu Yunzhi watched helplessly as the doll he had caught slipped off the claw.
Ah... she knew it, she failed again.
"You want this, is that right?" Shao Wenyan chuckled as he saw Yu Yunzhi sigh.
"Hmm..." Yu Yunzhi didn't want to talk anymore. Why was it that she could never catch up with him?
Shao Wenyan threw in three more game coins and, unsurprisingly, won the plush toy again.
The surrounding children cheered.
Yu Yunzhi now has to admit that it wasn't the clip that was the problem, but rather her lack of skill.
"Brother Wen Yan, do you have some tricks up your sleeve? Can you teach me?"
The hat was too low, obscuring Yu Yunzhi's eyes, so Shao Wenyan couldn't see her gaze. However, he guessed that if she hadn't been wearing the hat, she would be looking at him innocently with her big eyes, making it impossible for him to refuse her request.
But now you can hear her soft, coquettish intention in her tone.
"Come stand here."
Shao Wenyan pulled Yu Yunzhi's arm and dragged her in front of him. He stood behind her and guided her through the operation step by step.
Is this okay?
Shao Wenyan guided Yu Yunzhi's hand and stopped the clip on a doll, asking Yu Yunzhi if this doll was acceptable.
Behind Yu Yunzhi was Shao Wenyan's chest. She leaned against him, her hands enveloping his, and her heart began to race.
Yu Yunzhi was speechless and could only nod.
Shao Wenyan aptly described Yunzhi as being a head taller than him, while she appeared tiny in his arms, and he felt her head gently rubbing against his chest.
"First, determine your target, then position the trap correctly. Look, this doll is positioned in a unique way; its string is sticking out. That's when you can hook the trap onto the string..."
Shao Wenyan explained the process to Yu Yunzhi very carefully, guiding her step by step. His hand rested on Yu Yunzhi's hand, and he felt that her hand was slightly sweaty.
In fact, Shao Wenyan was also very nervous. How could anyone not be nervous when the person they liked was in their arms?
"Is this how it is?" Yu Yunzhi adjusted the clip as Shao Wenyan had instructed, then turned around and asked.
Shao Wenyan met Yu Yunzhi's gaze, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
"Hmm..." Shao Wenyan let go of Yu Yunzhi's hand, stood next to her, and watched her operate.
He was afraid that if he didn't leave soon, he really wouldn't be able to control his urge to kiss her.
Yu Yunzhi pressed the button and watched intently as the clip fell and then picked up again.
Although she had a feeling that she would succeed this time, Yu Yunzhi still couldn't help but jump up with joy when she actually succeeded.
"I caught him!"
Yu Yunzhi happily shook the little puppy in her hand and showed it to Shao Wenyan.
Shao Wenyan smiled, and seeing her so happy made him happy too.
And so, the two of them walked and grabbed as they went, grabbing along the way. At first, Yu Yunzhi would ask Shao Wenyan what he thought, and later he figured out a little trick himself.
Although you can't catch it on the first try every time, you'll eventually catch what you want after a few tries.
The taste of success made Yu Yunzhi more and more engrossed in the game, and he won more and more plush toys, attracting more and more children to watch them play.
