Chapter 17 I Know I'm Good-Looking

This store is all pink, with soft warm lighting, making it particularly warm. Four rows of claw machines are neatly arranged. Along the wall, there are also claw machines. In the middle of the store, the area for exchanging game coins is particularly eye-catching.

The boss sat quietly in the back, looking calmly at the counter in front of him, which was a glass cabinet filled with all kinds of exquisite figurines. On the wall next to the boss, all kinds of large dolls were placed neatly.

The machine for exchanging game coins is self-service, and you can scan the code to buy. The boss said that if you can't use up all the coins, you can leave them with him and use them next time you come, so Xie Luoshu bought 100 coins in one go. They were placed in a plastic basket, which was heavy.

It was of course very strenuous to carry it, Xie Luoshu dragged a cart and borrowed a small stool from the boss. Yanyan was too short to reach the remote control console, so he had to stand on the small stool.

Yanyan looked at the game coins in the plastic basket with curiosity. The game coins in this store were very similar to coins, made of silver metal, cool to the touch, and glowed under the light.

Xie Luoshu stuffed a game coin into Yanyan's hand. It was a little cold at first, but acceptable. It felt a little comfortable to touch, and Yanyan's little hand tightly grasped the game coin.

"Which one do you want to catch, kid?" Xie Luoshu asked.

Yanyan immediately locked onto a claw machine. The machine was filled with little dinosaurs that all looked the same, except they came in all kinds of colors. Green, red, blue... and even one super rare pink one.

"Okay. Catch the little dinosaur..." Xie Luoshu then remembered something.

[I forgot to buy a dinosaur toy for my baby! Help, I’m dying! ]

Xie Luoshu put the small stool in place and carried Yanyan up to it: "Come on, little daddy will teach you how to play."

The claw machine in this store is very good. You can grab a doll once for one game coin. Insert the coin and move the joystick.

"Daddy will get you the pink one, okay?" Xie Luoshu looked left and right.

"Yeah." Yanyan nodded. I'm not picky, anything is fine.

"Hey." Xie Luoshu raised his head suddenly, and Yanyan said another word! Good news! Xie Luoshu was instantly full of energy. He even ran to the side of the machine to observe carefully, and when he was sure that the position was almost right, he confidently pressed the button.

Xie Luoshu stared at the clamp, and Yanyan also stood on tiptoe, stuck out her butt, grabbed the front edge of the machine table with her two little hands, and leaned over to look.

"Oh." Got it! Xie Luoshu's eyes lit up. As expected of him, his claws caught the pink little dinosaur's head with incredible precision.

"Huh?!" But it was obvious that the clamp was not tight at all, it was very loose. When the clamp was raised, the upper part of the clamp collided with the railing, and the clamp shook violently, making a sound. Then, the little dinosaur fell down along the clamp.

“Hmm…” Xie Luoshu was silent, feeling very angry.

"Ahem." Xie Luoshu coughed twice. "It's a mistake. Do you want to give it a try, kid?"

Yanyan secretly sighed: Oh, little dad is not good enough. Sure enough, at the critical moment, I still have to rely on my son.

Yanyan clenched her fists and nodded: "Yeah!"

Xie Luoshu helped Yanyan throw in a game coin: "Come on."

Yan Yan just stretched out his hands, Xie Luoshu saw the game coins that Yan Yan had been holding in his hands: "Sorry, little daddy was too quick."

It’s okay, please forgive your dad.

Yanyan shook her head generously, and then she moved the joystick with her other free hand.

"When you feel it's ready, press the red button." Yanyan was very focused, holding the joystick and moving it little by little. It just took a little too long, so Xie Luoshu reminded him.

Yanyan let go of the joystick and leaned forward, almost lying on the operating table.

Xie Luoshu couldn't help laughing out loud, but seeing Yanyan's cold expression, he held back his laughter, picked up Yanyan, and took Yanyan and the baby around to look over: "How is it, baby, is it okay?"

Yanyan nodded calmly like a big boss, and then pressed the button.

But unfortunately, this time the claws also grabbed the head of the little dinosaur, but the depth was not enough and it cut through the head of the little dinosaur.

Yanyan's eyes widened, then she snorted and didn't want to pay any more attention to the claw machine.

"It's okay, kid." Xie Luoshu touched Yanyan's little head, "Look, Daddy didn't catch it either. This is how claw machines work. Just wait, Daddy will catch it for you."

Xie Luoshu tried several more times, but all ended in failure. Xie Luoshu looked at the loose claws of the claw machine and asked: Is it normal for the claws to be so loose?

"Hey, why are you catching dolls here?" At this time, two twin girls wearing Hanfu passed by, one in blue and the other in green.

"What's wrong?" Xie Luoshu was puzzled. "Isn't this a claw machine store?"

Chen Siqi understood: "Oh, this is your first time here."

Xie Luoshu nodded: "Yes, the first time."

"No wonder." Chen Sitong glanced over and saw the boss concentrating on playing with his phone. "The owner of this store made the clamps very loose."

Xie Luoshu knew this industry insider: "Generally, claw machines will loosen the clamps."

Chen Siqi nodded: "That's right. But the door in this store is very loose. Once the clamp goes up and hits the pole, the doll will definitely fall."

"Is that so..." Xie Luoshu recalled the scene just now.

"Yes." Chen Sitong was speechless, "And he refused to admit it. I argued with him last time and said I would report him. He said he was not afraid. His uncle is the manager of the mall."

"The relatives are so brazen." Chen Siqi rolled her eyes at the boss. "Anyway, don't do it here. We got ripped off last time! There's also a claw machine store next to the supermarket on the first floor. That store is much better than this one."

"Thank you." Xie Luoshu said gratefully.

"It's okay, it's okay." Chen Siqi waved her hands, "Baby is so cute, can... we take a picture?"

"Let me ask you something." Xie Luoshu bent down and asked Yanyan, "Can I take a photo with my two big sisters?"

"Yeah." Yanyan naturally agreed after hearing what her father and two older sisters had just said.

Chen Sitong quickly took out her phone and said, "Can I take the photo with my phone? My phone has a built-in beauty function for taking photos."

Xie Luoshu carried Yanyan down, and Yanyan walked between Chen Siqi and Chen Sitong. The two of them squatted down to accommodate Yanyan's height.

Seeing that Xie Luoshu didn't come, Chen Siqi asked, "Together?"

"Ah?" Xie Luoshu pointed at himself, "I'll come too. No need..."

Chen Siqi and Chen Sitong smiled at each other and chuckled: "Of course, we'll take a photo together when we meet such a handsome guy and such a cute kid."

"Okay then." Unable to refuse the kind invitation, Xie Luoshu cooperated and took the photo.

"We're leaving first. Bye."

"Bye-Bye."

"Goodbye, cub."

"Um."

Xie Luoshu picked up Yanyan and pushed the cart to the boss, who then raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Hello." Xie Luoshu said politely, "Can we return these game coins if we can't use them all?"

The boss didn't hide it and rolled his eyes at Xie Luoshu: "You can't return it."

"Why?" Xie Luoshu asked, "When I bought it on my phone, I saw that it said that I could return the unused items."

"Where is it? Why can't I see it?" The boss continued to look at his phone.

Xie Luoshu came prepared and sent a screenshot of the album: "Here it is, I took a screenshot."

"So what?" The boss didn't even look at it, and said in a shameless manner, "I'm the boss, and if I say you can't refund, then you can't refund."

"Okay." Xie Luoshu put away his phone. "Then I'll go find the mall manager and see what he says."

"Tsk." The boss crossed his legs and said, "Go find him and see what he says."

Just then, Steward Lin came back. Xie Luoshu walked over and said, "Steward Lin, call the manager of the mall over."

"Manager? What happened?"

"It's a long story." Xie Luoshu said, "Let's call him over first."

"Okay, Mr. Xie." Butler Lin took out his cell phone and went to the side to make a call.

Xie Luoshu took out a game coin and played a game with Yanyan: "Guess, is the coin in Daddy's left hand or right hand?"

Yanyan thought for a while and pointed to the left.

"Hehe." Xie Luoshu stretched out his left hand and spread it out, "No. Zizi lost, and this coin belongs to Xiaoba. This time it's Zizi's turn."

Yanyan put her hands behind her back and nodded at Xie Luoshu.

"Dad guesses... on the right."

Yanyan shook her head.

"Little dad guessed wrong, why don't you stretch out your hand?" Xie Luoshu narrowed his eyes, "You little bad boy."

Yanyan blinked. What little bad boy? Zizi is not a little bad boy.

Xie Luoshu hugged Yanyan and grabbed Yanyan's right hand. As expected, the game coin was in Yanyan's right hand. Xie Luoshu hooked Yanyan's little nose, and Yanyan shrank his head.

"See, my dad found out." Xie Luoshu tossed the game coins in his hand, "Baby, don't lie."

Yanyan tilted her head: Can't I tell a lie? But many people...

"Our baby is a good kid. You have to be honest and not tell lies, understand? Otherwise..." Xie Luoshu pinched Yanyan's child, "his nose will become very long."

Yanyan covered her nose and nodded.

Baby, don’t let your nose become very long.

Xie Luoshu rubbed Yanyan's head and said, "You are so good."

Xie Luoshu knew Yanyan was a good kid. But the rich family was definitely not as good as it seemed, so this lie might be learned from watching others.

After all, he is a three-year-old child, and it is his nature to learn from others. But it doesn't matter, he will teach him well in the future.

"Are you still going to catch the dolls?!" The boss had been keeping an eye on Xie Luoshu and the others. When he saw them standing at the door without catching the dolls, he came over and yelled, "If you're not going to catch them, then don't stay here and block the way! It's all your fault. No one else is coming! If you don't catch them, then others will!"

"There are a lot of people coming and going here. Your store takes up such a large area and has such a big storefront. We didn't block their way. Besides, there is no one here." Xie Luoshu smiled contemptuously, "Is it really because of us?"

"Hey!" The boss was determined to confront Xie Luoshu, "What do you mean?!"

"What can I mean by that?" Xie Luoshu said calmly.

"What do you mean?" The boss was furious. "I'll see you! I'll see you..."

"What are you looking at me for?" Xie Luoshu picked up Yanyan, "I know I'm pretty, but I'm afraid you'll feel inferior if I don't show it to you."

As he spoke, Xie Luoshu carried Yanyan to the lobby, and Butler Lin followed closely behind with a cart.

There is an empty area in the lobby where there is a small fish shop. It is more like a stall than a shop.
