Chapter 1242: Chapter 1242: Slap in the Face

Jiang Xue’er became much more reserved with her gaze upon noticing Zi Yan’s attention, but she failed to notice another pair of eyes.

However, Zi Yan did notice…

In the moment Zi Yan and Xi Rui exchanged glances, though no words were spoken, they already understood each other.

Because of Jiang Xue’er, Xi Rui’s appetite had diminished…

(When saying this, did you ask your stomach? After enduring so much, to still speak like this is really too grievous.)

There were a lot of fun things near the snack street, so after eating, they all went there together.

“Uncle, have you played this before?” Jian Dan pointed at a stall.

“This is…”

“Ring toss!”

“Ring toss, ring toss, ten Yuan for five tries, whatever you loop, you can take!”

“Uncle, can you do it? I want that one!” Jian Dan pointed to a hair clip in the far corner.

“Honey, I want to play this~” A girl pulled her boyfriend over to the game.

Because the stall wasn’t very large, they were pushed to the back as this couple came in.

“No problem! Seller, give us five rings!” The boy promptly paid and took five rings from the seller.

“Baby, which one do you like?”

“I want that one!” The girl pointed at a doll.

“Alright!” The boy threw a ring lightly at the doll, and surprisingly, he looped it.

“Wow~ Honey, you’re so awesome!” The girl jumped up, hugged her boyfriend, and planted a big kiss on his face.

“Well, of course, baby, what else would you like?” The boy’s confidence swelled.

“That one, that hair clip!” The girl pointed at the same hair clip Jian Dan had mentioned.

“No problem!”

Jian Dan’s brows furrowed slightly, worried that they might actually win it.

But it seemed the boy’s luck had run out, not only did he use up the four rings in his hand without success, but even after purchasing many more, he still failed to win, growing more and more agitated.

Yet, Jian quickly replied with some happiness!

(To clarify, this isn’t Jian Dan taking pleasure in others’ misfortune! It was just a natural reaction to her favorite clip not being taken.)

“Honey, let’s just give it up! The position of that hair clip really is tricky to loop,” the girl said, seeing her boyfriend trying for so long without success, and tried to console him.

Chu Liyuan had been observing Jian Dan’s expression the whole time, “Do you really want it?”

Jian Dan looked up into Chu Liyuan’s eyes and nodded, “But the position of that hair clip is really tricky.”

“If it’s something Jian Jian likes, I’ll definitely get it for you!

Give me five!”

The man who just played ring toss watched somewhat gloatingly as Chu Li tried, he himself had just tried so many times without success, he didn’t believe Chu Li could win it.

Chu Liyuan took the rings from the seller, glanced at the position of the hair clip, held the ring, gave a gentle toss, and the ring landed accurately, snaring the hair clip…

For a moment, the surroundings became very quiet… A few seconds later, someone finally exclaimed, “That was amazing! To win on the first try!”

The boy from before was utterly dumbfounded, staring at the hair clip for a long while, “Lucky shot!”

His own first attempt had succeeded, but it was just good luck.

“Jian Jian, which one do you like next?” Chu Liyuan didn’t respond to the boy and asked Jian Dan instead.

“That one!” Jian Dan pointed to a small box.

“Okay!”

The boy looked disdainfully at Chu Li, not believing he could win again, but the very next second he was petrified, as Chu Li scored yet again!

And then, without a doubt, the remaining three rings all hit their mark.

The crisp sounds of impact incessantly echoed in the boy’s ears, the sound of being metaphorically slapped in the face…
