Chapter 55: Chapter 49: Qi Xingzhou is Her Lucky Star_2 Chapter 55: Chapter 49: Qi Xingzhou is Her Lucky Star_2 Jiang Ning looked at her empty record of achievements, then glanced at the small pile of long-tailed civets Qi Xingzhou had won: “…”
Qi Xingzhou noticed Jiang Ning’s gaze, thinking she liked them, he stuffed all the small civet plushies into her arms. He then tightly grasped the hem of her clothes, clearly showing he wasn’t too interested in these little toys.
Jiang Ning’s eyes fell on him, and she raised her hand to point at the claw machine next to them, “How can you be so good, have you played this before?”
Qi Xingzhou shook his head.
Jiang Ning thought about it and it made sense, Qi Xingzhou hardly ever left his house before and didn’t like interacting with the outside world, so the chances of him playing the claw machine were even smaller.
But if this was Qi Xingzhou’s first time playing the claw machine, and he was this good, then Jiang Ning could hardly imagine how strong his computational abilities must be.
Although she didn’t understand much about claw machines, she roughly knew that these machines worked on predefined programs. The success of grabbing a plush toy from within was just a probabilistic event by chance.
Yet Qi Xingzhou, after only watching her play a few times, turned this chance event into an inevitable occurrence.
From a certain angle, this was a kind of genius of high intelligence, wasn’t it?
It’s just unknown if the Qi family members have discovered his talent in this area?
Jiang Ning held the pile of long-tailed civets Qi Xingzhou had just won in her arms and strode forward, “Let’s go! I’ll take you to play something else!”
Qi Xingzhou’s eyes brightened, clutching the hem of Jiang Ning’s clothes, he followed her at a run.
The area where Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou were now was the veritable university town. Besides Pinghu University and A University, there were five or six other universities nearby.
Of course, Jiang Ning’s intention was not to take Qi Xingzhou to play inside the schools, but she took him to the nearby Happy Game City, a place popular among young people.
Although today was a Wednesday, there were quite a few people at Happy Game City playing, looking at their youthful and attractive appearances, many probably were students from nearby schools.
Jiang Ning went to a shop nearby, bought two boutique bags, and put all eight or nine small toys into them.
Catching a glimpse of Qi Xingzhou always holding onto her clothes out of the corner of her eye, Jiang Ning thought for a bit and then picked out an artifact for walking children — an anti-lost leash, from among the pile of goods.
Qi Xingzhou probably rarely went out, and felt overwhelmed by unfamiliar crowds, so he kept depending on clutching the hem of her clothes. With the leash, he probably would not feel so insecure.
After paying, Jiang Ning attached one end of the blue leash to her hand, then took Qi Xingzhou’s hand, fastening the other end of the leash to his wrist.
Qi Xingzhou looked down, examining the leash tied between his and Jiang Ning’s wrists over and over again.
This thin leash linked him closely with Jiang Ning, making it clear to anyone that their relationship was out of the ordinary.
For some reason, Qi Xingzhou found himself more and more fond of this blue leash the more he looked at it.
Walking beside Jiang Ning, he no longer stretched out his hand to grab her clothes, instead showing extreme care for the leash.
Jiang Ning saw him obediently following her with his head down and felt like she was walking a large dog.
After temporarily storing the two large bags of toys in a locker, Jiang Ning went to a vending machine and exchanged a lot of Game Coins, generously giving half of them to Qi Xingzhou when she saw his empty hands.
Then, Jiang Ning led Qi Xingzhou from one game machine to another, playing each one.
Jiang Ning wasn’t fond of playing games, but she was good at fighting games.
She led Qi Xingzhou to a corner with few people, where they each held a gamepad, allowing them to control two characters in a game for a fight.
Jiang Ning patiently taught Qi Xingzhou once, initially thinking that if he couldn’t play later, she would let him win. Who knew, apart from the first two minutes when Qi Xingzhou was clearly a little clumsy, his character’s punching speed grew increasingly faster, with evasion and reaction speeds also becoming faster.
Jiang Ning’s eyes sparkled, unknowingly using her full concentration.
By the time they truly determined a winner, Jiang Ning checked the time and realized she and Qi Xingzhou had actually been playing for over ten minutes!
Moreover, around them without them knowing, they had attracted a crowd of other young people who had come to watch the excitement, clearly drawn over by the thrilling duel between her and Qi Xingzhou.
Two pretty young girls had their eyes fixed directly on Qi Xingzhou, one of them even wanted to come forward to ask for his WeChat, but when she saw the intimate anti-lost leash on the wrists of Qi Xingzhou and Jiang Ning, she stopped in her tracks.
Jiang Ning didn’t notice all this; having not played games for so long and enjoyed it thoroughly, she was left wanting more. She originally wanted to pull Qi Xingzhou for another round, but she feared that too many people were watching, which might affect Qi Xingzhou.
Jiang Ning put down the gamepad and led Qi Xingzhou away.
As Jiang Ning was leading Qi Xingzhou past a row of claw machines, her steps suddenly paused.
Not far in front of them by one of the claw machines, a couple stood there happily playing the game.
The young man playing the claw machine was handsome and attractive, and the small, delicate girl dressed in a Lolita fashion by his side, cheering for him, looked particularly cute. They also seemed very well matched.
Her eyes landed on the young man who appeared very handsome, and Jiang Ning suddenly smiled.
What else could this be if not the adage: “No need to break iron shoes in a fruitless search, for there lies the reward effortlessly found!”
She had just roamed around Pinghu University without running into Lou Yuquan, but now, here she was, unexpectedly bumping into him.
Today, Qi Xingzhou was really her lucky star, not only letting her make money but also leading her to the target of her task.
