Chapter 41 I'm Happy
"What do you mean by ugly?" Lin Zixia said indignantly, "This is so cute!"
Lu Xiangye looked disgusted and said, "You really have no taste."
Really poor appreciation level.
Lin Zixia raised his eyes to look at him, a sly glint in his eyes, deliberately provoking him, "Lu Xiangye, you're not saying this because you're afraid you won't be able to catch him, are you?"
Lu Xiangye narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you questioning my ability?"
Lin Zixia: "I didn't say that."
Lu Xiangye: "But you think so in your heart."
Lin Zixia looked innocent: "Don't wrongly accuse a good person."
There was a cheer from the other side. Lin Zixia turned around and saw He Yan picked up another doll and handed it to Xu Wu.
Lu Xiangye snorted coldly, and said in a stern tone, "Lin Xiaoxia, watch out!"
He put in two coins, and after the machine turned on, he casually moved the gear lever a few times with one hand. He squinted his eyes, waited for the right moment, and pressed the button.
The claws grabbed the duckling's belly and feet and it staggered up. Lin Zixia held his breath and watched it intently, afraid that it would fall down accidentally.
The machine moved to the hole, and when its claws loosened, the duckling fell out, bounced at the edge of the hole, and rolled out.
Lin Zixia’s eyes widened instantly. He caught it so easily?
Lu Xiangye leaned over and took out the doll. He held it in his hand and looked at it for a few seconds, then turned sideways and handed it to Lin Zixia with disgust. What level of appreciation was that?
Just as bad as her vision.
Lin Zixia took the doll and squeezed it. It was very soft and cute. She curled her lips and praised it generously, "I didn't expect you to be so good at it!"
Lu Xiangye raised his eyebrows, his delicate features becoming more three-dimensional under the cold white light, with sharp edges and corners, revealing a bit of pride, "It's rare to hear you praise me."
"What else do you want?"
Lin Zixia looked at the same claw machine and pointed to another colored one inside, "The purple one."
Lu Xiangye paused for a second, "You really have a special liking for this ugly duck."
Lin Zixia: "That's because you don't know how to appreciate it."
Lu Xiangye didn't refute, but threw in two more coins and successfully caught a purple one.
Seeing how smoothly he caught the predator, the people around him gradually gathered around him.
After they left the claw machine, everyone was excited to try again, but the clamp loosened halfway through, making it just as difficult to clamp as the other machines. Why had the boy been able to clamp it so easily?
Lin Zixia also tried it himself, but the doll fell down as soon as he picked it up.
She turned around and asked Lu Xiangye, "Why did you and He Yan catch it so easily? Do you have any tricks?"
Lu Xiangye put one hand in his pocket and said nonchalantly, "It's probably just the feel. I've done it so many times before, so I'll just get used to it naturally."
Lin Zixia: ...It's all in vain.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You must be rolling your eyes in your heart."
Lu Xiangye shrugged. "It's true. Xu Wu loved these when she was little. She would pester us to catch them for her. If we couldn't catch them, she would cry and wouldn't give up."
Lu Xiangye nodded his chin over there. Xu Wu was holding a bunch of dolls and was still directing He Yan to catch a strawberry bear for her.
"See? The way those two acted, even the owner of the claw machine shop was scared."
Lin Zixia curled her lips. Although Lu Xiangye expressed his disdain, the friendship between them, who had grown up together, was real and enviable.
"Brother Lu, are you guys also catching dolls?"
Wu You came out at some point. He looked at the two in Lin Zixia's hand, then at Xu Wu and He Yan on the other side, and suggested, "Why don't we find a place to sit for a while? I don't think they'll be able to finish this anytime soon."
"Of course," Lin Zixia looked at him, "Why didn't I see you just now?"
Wu You smiled and scratched his head, "I just finished the game over there and came here."
He was too embarrassed to say that he was competing with a child.
And lost.
By the time Xu Wu reunited with them, contentedly holding all the dolls she wanted, it was already time for dinner.
Xu Wu happily showed Lin Zixia the spoils of today, smiling brightly and generously, "Xia Xia, see if there is anything you like, just pick any!"
Lin Zixia glanced at He Yan, who was standing beside her, and smiled and shook her head. "No need, Lu Xiangye also picked some."
Xu Wu didn't force it. Looking at Lu Xiangye who was sitting lazily beside him, he teased, "Hey, why are you so willing to take action today?"
Lu Xiangye raised his eyelids and glanced at her, "I'm happy to."
Xu Wu was too lazy to argue with him, so he sat aside and chattered with Lin Zixia about what had just happened.
Lu Xiangye then looked at He Yan, his tone somewhat dissatisfied, "She asked for all the dolls, so you will pick them for her today? You are spoiling her too much."
He Yan crossed his arms and glanced at the doll in Lin Zixia's hand. He looked calm, his lips slightly raised, and replied lightly, "Haven't you already claimed that you've retired from the underworld and won't make a move easily?"
"Why, are you making an exception today?"
Lu Xiangye stretched out his long legs, looking lazy, and said the same thing, "I'm happy to."
A smile appeared in He Yan's eyes, and he spoke slowly, "Your happiness is worth more than a thousand gold coins. It seems that there are people who are more valuable than a thousand gold coins."
Lu Xiangye frowned, "It's just a casual thing."
He Yan raised an eyebrow, "When did Young Master Lu become so kind?"
Lu Xiangye narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?"
He Yan shrugged, "Literally."
Wu You came up confused and said, "Brother Lu, Ayan, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
He Yan smiled and said, "You're right, I don't understand."
Wu You: “???”
"You guys have a secret from me?"
"Aren't we best brothers?"
"Are you trying to isolate me?"
He Yan smiled helplessly, and Lu Xiangye kicked him directly, "Behave yourself!"
Wu You cried and came to Lin Zixia and Xu Wu, "Sister Xia, Wuwu, I'm being targeted, wuwuwu..."
Lin Zixia and Xu Wu looked over at the same time. He Yan and Lu Xiangye were standing aside, one calm and composed, the other with an unhappy look on his face.
Wu You: "Brother Lu only loves A Yan now, not me!"
Lin Zixia looked at Lu Xiangye with a half-smile, his eyes full of interest.
Lu Xiangye's eyebrows jumped, "Wu You, do you want to be beaten?"
