Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

She spent quite a while waiting, but he wasn’t moving at all. His body wasn’t as tense as it was at first though.

Only until her neck started growing stiff, did he slowly move his lips away from hers and whispered, “It was such a long kiss.”

Nian Xi didn’t know what to say. Was that even a kiss? It was just lips pressing against each other.

Jiang Yuning seemed to have enjoyed it so much. Seeing the look of satisfaction on his face, Nian Xi wasn’t sure if she should laugh or be mad. He was such an innocent, old-school boy.

“Xi, you do not look happy. Why? Was I too rude?” Jiang Yuning grew nervous.

“No…” Nian Xi worried that he might not have the courage to kiss her ever again, so she hurriedly shook her head.

Jiang Yuning sighed with relief; he had a joyful look in his eyes.

Nian Xi wasn’t unhappy, meaning that he could always kiss her. He was thrilled to realize that.

“Then… what do you think about my… kissing skills?”

Nian Xi honestly didn’t know what to say.

Did he use any skill at all? Any person could do what he did. It wasn’t skillful at all.

However, as the boy was looking at her with his sparkling eyes, she didn’t have the heart to say anything bad to him.

“Good,” she said.

“I’m glad you liked it.” Jiang Yuning coyly scratched his head.

When the two of them got out of the car, Nian Xi was still feeling a little confused, while Jiang Yuning was happy.

They went upstairs, into the private theater. There were some people already there. The place looked really fancy as it had a game room, a coffee house, some crane machines, and there were also snacks for the customers.

They arrived a little too early. It wasn’t time for them to enter the theater room, so Nian Xi played a few rounds of the game outside, and then spent some money on the crane machines. She didn’t win any prizes from the machines though.

“Don’t play this. It seems easy, but it’s actually a trick.” Jiang Yuning hurriedly pointed at an unnoticeable doll in a corner.

Nian Xi sighed. “It’s hard to win a doll. Last year, I spent over a hundred to catch a tiny key chain.”

“Let me.” Jiang Yuning smilingly put two coins into a machine. Before long, he caught a small, brown teddy bear. Nian Xi was so surprised that she even hopped a little. She took over the teddy bear and kissed him on the cheek. “You’re amazing! How did you do it? Tell me about the trick!” she said.

Seeing the girl acting so passionate, Jiang Yuning felt like drowning from the sweetness in his heart. He had seen people playing crane machines on the street. He found that childish back then, but now, as he was playing it with the girl he liked, he understood why so many boys liked to play crane machines with girls.

However, those boys were so dumb. The game was so easy, but they barely won anything for the girls.

“It’s easy. Earlier, when you did it, I calculated it’s speed and strength, so I could tell which one could be caught and which could not,” Jiang Yuning said, carefully explaining it to her. “Do I need to tell you about the equation that I used?”

“Eh… don’t bother,” Nian Xi said. He called it simple. No ordinary person could possibly do that. “How about you stand behind me, hold my hand and help me do it.”

With that idea, Nian Xi hurriedly put herself in his arms and put her hand on the joystick.

Jiang Yuning’s chest was pressed tightly against her back. His pretty face was so pink. He glanced at her delicate hand on the joystick, then took a deep breath, laid his hand upon hers, and then helped her catch a pink piglet from the machine.

About ten minutes later, the two of them won over ten stuffed toys from the machine. The other girls all started to look at them with jealousy.

One of them even complained to her boyfriend saying, “You’re so clumsy. You can’t even catch one of these for me. Look at her boyfriend. He caught one in every minute, and every single one he caught is cuter than the previous one.”
